10:49 AM ET 08.26 | Point guard Deron Williams' snub -- choosing to stay with the Brooklyn Nets ??? stung the Mavericks, but that doesn't mean the results will be the same next summer, when Dallas figures to have at least as much salary cap flexibility as it did at the start of this offseason. Either way, it won't keep the Mavericks from taking another big swing at a superstar-level player -- or perhaps two of them. Chris Paul has never seemed like an LA kind of guy. They wouldn't need any help. They can throw maximum money at him next summer. If it requires a trade, they have a young point guard, Nick Collison, that they can use in any deal, along with an expiring contract in Shawn Marion.
Hopefully, the Clippers will do everything to keep him. If they don't, they are rebuilding again.

He is staying w/ the Clippers. The Mavs team right now is not too bad. It's funny that posters are disregarding the Heatles championship this year. They believe that the Mavs team would have beaten the Thunder and the Heatles and would have repeated easily. They believe that that was a dynasty team in the making...smh
It's a "cross roads" for the Clippers. Paul is the type of player you can build a franchise around. Clips need to keep him to continue with a chance at a title.
One thing ging for the Clips this year is they have a lot of veteran leaders. Billups, Butler, Hill and of course Paul. I think they will do much better than what they are currently pegged at.

Point guard nick collison huh? Stick to reporting about the cowboys...Dallas and basketball go together about as well as having a chocolate covered steak.
Do you think they can make it to the WCF?
Cretainly they have to get past the Lakers, Thunder and Spurs. But they should have to meet only one of these teams to get there, so there is a possibility. Billups is back from his achilles tear, Butler has a full season of playing time since his knee injury, and Hill couild do very well.
If everyone stays healthy and Lamar can keep his lid on, could make it to the wcf.

Dirk is aging. I don't think it's an appealing place to go play. Especially after watching Cuban dismantle a champion without allowing them to defend their title. If DWill didn't want to go there and he's from there, I doubt anyone else will want to right now.

Now I regret dismantling that Mavs dynasty team. They would have been the first team to 4peat in a long time. That team was really unstoppable w/ all the great players that they had. The Heatles would have no chance against them. This year's Lakers would crumble under that Mavs dynasty team.
That's funny! Woulda, coulda, shoulda taken to the max! Be happy with your one championship.

Not a prayer. They'll be lucky to make the playoffs at all.

How so? They picked up Odom and Hill. Billups is back from injury. A full season playing together for everyone else. How do they not make the playoffs? And who's in the top 4 at the end of the regular season?

When a hometown guy like DWill doesn't want to come home to Dallas that's a bad sign.
Chris Bosh didn't want to play in Dallas either. I think a lot of it is because they don't want to have to hear from people they went to Middle School with or lived down the street from their aunt about getting tickets.

How do you start your day?
We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. If this is the case, then why am I not thinking more on variety and flavours just as we would an evening meal? I must admit I am stuck in a rut and opt for the same variety of Bran flakes with bananas, the boys usually have a selection of 'kids' style cereals and Dan has toast. Dull isn't it?
So recently I've been thinking of better ways to enjoy my first meal of the day. The people at Jordans Cereal kindly sent me some of their Super Berry Granola to try. It is packed with crunchy pieces of oatmeal and delicious blackcurrants, blueberries, cranberries and crunchy almonds. Over the past few days I've mixed it up a little having it some days with milk and other days with natural fat free yoghurt and banana chopped up. I am converted!
Dan on the other hand is still enjoying his toast (that man loves marmalade!) but he is also taking to work an Absolute Nut breakfast bar. A treat he says! Poor love have I been neglecting him!
My next project - is to get a juicer.
What do you have for breakfast? I need inspiration!

I love waking up and thinking about what I'm going to eat for brekkie. Juicer's are wonderful! A few of my fav home cooked weekday brekkie's are warm brown rice (soaked and prepared the day before) coconut or almond milk, cinnamon, fruit and nuts, or leftover vegetables from the night before with a scrambled egg. Enjoy x

Question: "What is godly sorrow?" Answer: The phrase "godly sorrow" appears only once in Scripture, in 2 Corinthians 7:10-11: "Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. See what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what concern, what readiness to see justice done . . .". Godly sorrow, also translated "godly grief" is an acute sense of sadness we experience as a result of the sins we have committed. Paul's reference to godly sorrow in 2 Corinthians 7 was brought about by the reaction of the Corinthian believers to a previous letter in which Paul rebuked them for the dissentions that were present in the church. Although he was sorry to have to hurt them, he rejoiced that his letter brought them to godly sorrow "as God intended." Godly sorrow is that which brings the repentance that leads to salvation (2 Corinthians 7:8-9). Godly sorrow is a kind of wretchedness that can bring the repentant sinner to tears of grief. A good example of this is Peter at the time of Jesus' arrest and trials. When accused as being one of Jesus' followers, Peter disowned Jesus by cursing and swearing to his accusers that he did not know the Man. Upon hearing the rooster crow three times, he remembered the words of Jesus, who had prophesied Peter's very actions, and went out and wept bitterly (Matthew 26:74-75). James wrote: "Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom" (James 4:8-9). James is referencing this kind of deep sorrow with his command to "grieve, mourn and wail." Such words are reminiscent of the Old Testament prophets who called the people to repentance, having them grieve over their sins, and to sit in sackcloth and ashes. Another illustration of godly sorrow was shown by David, "a man after God's own heart" (Acts 13:22). He revealed his own godly sorrow for his sins in many of his psalms. In one, he pleads for God's mercy and cries out: "I am worn out from groaning; all night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears" ( Psalm 6:6). The apostle Paul described his own battles with sin: "What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?" Then he gives the answer: "Thanks be to God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!" (Romans 7:24-25). Godly sorrow results from a heart-felt conviction that we have offended God by our sin. Such a burning conviction produces in our hearts a godly sorrow. As we look upon Him who was pierced for our sins, we are deeply grieved in spirit. As such, we resolve within our hearts that we will, with the help of God, "cease to do evil, and learn to do good" (Isaiah 1:16).

Product Description
The Easy Way to Treat Acne
Lumie Clear is a compact hand-held LED light therapy device clinically proven to treat mild to moderate acne. It combines blue light to attack the bacteria that causes acne with red light that soothes inflammation and heals the skin. It is clean and simple to use. Either hold it next to your skin for 15 minutes of intensive treatment or attach it to the adjustable stand for a longer session on a wider area. Drugs and creams can have unpleasant side effects and with prolonged use become less effective at controlling the condition. Lumie Clear has no side effects at all, is not inconvenient and invasive, and is easy to use. It can also be used safely in conjunction with other treatments. Unlike drugs and creams Lumie Clear is a one-off expense that can actually work out cheaper over time.
The Study of Blue-Red Light Therapy for Acne
Acne often appears to improve after spending time in the sun. Research into the effects of light as a treatment have focused on two parts of the light spectrum: blue light (415nm), which attacks the Propionibacterium acnes bacteria, and red light (660nm), which is known to soothe inflammation and promote healing. Leading dermatologist Dr Tony Chu of Hammersmith Hospital studied these effects on over 100 patients. Those using combination blue-red light therapy saw a real difference after four weeks. At twelve weeks their skin was, on average, 76% less inflamed and 56% clearer. Lumie Clear has been developed with input from Dr Chu's research team.
Recommended Treatment Times
Treatment times for Lumie Clear depend on your distance from the lights. If you hold Lumie Clear next to your skin, you need only use it 15 minutes per day. To cover a wider area, for example to treat your back and shoulders, you can fix the light head onto its base and shine it on your skin for an hour from the recommended distance. The combination of red and blue light saves you having to undergo two separate treatment sessions.
Lumie Clear features a built-in timer so that you can accurately measure your treatment sessions. The hands-free stand allows you to get on with other things while the light is working on your skin. Goggles are also included, though you'll only need them if the light is shining at your eyes. The light head folds down into the base for compact storage and the whole unit is small enough for you to take it with you when you go away.

Police: Troy University Fraternity Member Tied To Tree, HazedTroy University police said a pledge in the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity was tied to a tree, had stuff thrown on him, and was left alone about 3 miles from campus.Police said while no one was injured, there is a zero tolerance policy for hazing. Troy University Police Chief John McCall said, "We found the rope, we found the egg shells, we found coconut milk, some sour mix and even looked like some tobacco spit that was possibly poured on him as well."
Students in Greek life, like Brandon Gurubel say this isn't the first hazing incident on campus.
Brandon Gurubel, a junior in a different fraternity than Pi Kappa Phi said, "Hazing definitely happens, some people take it farther than others."
It may be hard to imagine allowing someone to do that to you, but police say the victim was a willing participant. Chief McCall said, "He decided it was something he had to do so he was just going to go along with it and get it over with."
Fraternity President Christopher Brooks said the 6 members he says were responsible, don't represent Pi Kapp as a whole.
Pi Kappa Phi President Christopher Brooks said, "We don't condone hazing of any kind, our new member education process simply goes by our national laws as well as our local laws and we just look forward to moving on through this."
Right now the fraternity is on suspension, so no social functions, while the university and the national fraternity work together to come up with sanctions and a plan for the future including looking at that new member program.
Coordinator of Student Involvement & Leadership Chris Hager said, "Breaking it down and identifying any possible concern in their new member program, cleaning that up so that we don't have possible issues like this happening down the road."
University leaders and police say they take situations like this seriously, even if no one was injured.
Chief McCall said, "A lot of colleges, especially in recent memory FAMU, have had issues where students have actually died in hazing incidents and those kinds of things can ruin your university, and we are just not going to tolerate it here at Troy."
Brandon said, "You can't build man by tearing down boys, yeah there are going to be rites of passage everywhere, but you just want those rites of passages to be constructive to what you're doing."
Police say this type of hazing would be a misdemeanor..so any charges would have to be filed by the victim. But, he chose not to pursue any charges.
The university says Pi Kappa Phi will be on probation the rest of the semester, but will not lose its charter so it can remain on campus. But the six people accused of being involved will have to meet with the dean of students since hazing violates the university's code of conduct.

Lockport Man is Latest in a String of $200,000 Powerball Winners
Disbelief washed over Jerome Shields as he sat staring at the last Powerball ticket in the stack he had just checked. That ticket matched all five of the white ball numbers from the April 8 Powerball drawing, making the 54-year-old Lockport resident the latest in a string of $200,000 winners.
"I always check all of my tickets to see if I match the Powerball number first. I hadn't for the April 8 drawing, but I went back through them to check for matching white ball numbers," said Shields. "Tuesday, I went back through all the winning tickets I had set aside just to verify how much I had won, and I couldn't believe what I saw. The last ticket matched all five of the white ball numbers!"
Shields said that while the idea of winning is still sinking in, he knows he will use some his winnings to host a retirement party for his wife.
He purchased his winning ticket at Acadian Express #4622 on Martin Luther King Drive in Houma. The store received a $2,000 bonus for selling Shields his winning ticket.
The winning numbers for the April 8 Powerball drawing were 01-06-48-52-56 and the Powerball number was 09.
Players must be at least 21 years old to purchase a Lottery ticket. The Lottery encourages anyone who has a gambling problem or friends and family of anyone with a gambling problem to call toll-free 1-877-770-7867 for help. For security purposes, the Lottery also encourages players to sign the back of their tickets immediately after purchasing.
Acadian Express #4622 Manager Atalanta West and Assistant Manager Brandon Martinez in Houma display a "big check" for $2,000, the store's bonus for selling a $200,000 winning match-5 Powerball ticket from the April 8 drawing.

Question on L2 speech perception

Query: |
Dear linguists,
I'm posting this mail on behalf of one of my colleagues who is interested in L2 speech perception and recently asked if there was any paper/study which proved/disproved phonetically or psychologically that ''L2 learners are weak in noise''(i.e. the listening comprehension score of L2 learners is more influenced by noise by that of L1 speakers). He observed the phenomenon from his personal teaching experience that his Japanese students cannot comprehend some English sounds in an noisy environment which the same students can tell 100% in a quiet language laboratory. I've had a similar experience, and we wondered if it has been proven, or it is just our imagination. Can anybody help us? Thank you very much. =================================== Shinichi TOKUMA (Dr) Dept of English Language and Literature, Sagami Women's University, 2-1-1, Bunkyo, Sagami-hara, 228-8533, Kanagawa, JAPAN e-mail:firstname.lastname@example.com |

Original Donna Karan New York perfume discontinued - help!
I've worn the original Donna Karan New York perfume for years (black swan like bottle) and found out it's been discontinued. I'm desperate to find at least a similar smelling fragrance, any ideas?
what perfume smells like sensi by armani?
I use to wear Sensi by Giorgio Armani. It has since been discontinued. I was wondering if there was a dupe for it out there?
Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh gift set
So, Sephora's description of the Daisy Eau So Fresh gift set says that both the rollerball and the fragrance are eau de parfum. I've looked at the same kit at other retailers though and everywhere else says the two are eau de toilette instead. The size of the perfume bottle that Sephora includes in the kit is smaller than other retailers so it would make sense for the bottle to be eau de parfum, but I was just wondering if anyone knows for sure what is included in Sephora's gift set. Thank you!
Fragrance comparable to Estee Lauder Dazzling Silver

I got a Michael Kors 'Very Hollywood' sample in a Sephora Favorites holiday pack a few years ago, bought the full size with the voucher, now its discontinued!! Anyone have a recommendation for a fragrance that is similar?
Flirty, sweet, warm fragrance?
Hey beauty lovers! I'm looking for a new perfume and I'm wanting something flirty, sensual, warm, and maybe a little sweet. Nothing too overpowering or floral. I'm about to finish a second bottle of Prada Candy. I love the scent of Candy, but the lasting power is below average. I've been interested in Chanel Coco Mademoiselle, but I haven't had the chance to sniff it just yet! Other perfumes I enjoy are: Dior J'adore Dior Addict Dolce & Gabbana The One Juicy Couture Viva la Juicy Ralph Lauren Big Pony for Women #2 Marc Jacobs Lola
Emilio Pucci-Vivara-discontinued?
I'm so sad, I don't seem to find Vivara anywhere! And when I found a website the prices were outrageous! Anyone know of anything that smells like Emilio Pucci's Vivara?
Parisian fragrance houses: Le Labo, Annick Goutal, Nose - Reviews Requested!
I posted in reference to my future Paris trip recently and received great feedback from quite a few people. I now wanted to ask about experiences with specific fragrance houses that I've narrowed down onto a short list. They are the following: Nose - http://nose.fr/en/ Le Labo - http://www.lelabofragrances.com/ Annick Goutal - http://www.annickgoutal.com/en/ What draws me to Nose is that they offer rare scents. In regards to Le Labo, they can make you a custom fragrance. (Who wouldn't want that?) As far as Annick Goutal, I love floral, feminine fragrances, but I do know that I can buy these at Nordstroms. However, it may be cool to check out their boutique. Due to the prices of these fragrances (and the fact that I already have 7 different fragrances in my possession), I can probably only buy one. Therefore, I thought narrowing down this further may help me accomplish that. Any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated! P.S. I know everyone is probably wondering why Guerlain is not on this list, but, from what I've seen, their fragrances are cheaper in the US than France.
Best Tocca fragrance?
I am DETERMINED to own one of those beautiful TOCCA bottles of it's the last thing I do! Seriously though, I've tested all the Tocca fragrances about 50 times each and still can't decide. For the price, I want to make sure I will love what I'm getting. Which one do you recommend? Also, I'm aware that Sephora is offering a Tocca trio, which I may very well purchase. But I want your opinions first! *UPDATE* Thanks for the suggestions ladies! I finally got to Anrhopologie today to try out Stella, Florence, Bianca, Cleopatra, and Colette. I could definitely tell why Stella has such a following, but it was a bit light/fruity for what I'm looking for right now. I had a hard time choosing between Florence and Cleopatra...but I'm going with the Cleo. It had a very nostalgic, retro, smells-kinda-like-my-grandma-but-in-a-good-way feel to it that I adored. It's rare to find those old-fashioned scents, so I'm going with my gut and will purchase Cleopatra next pay day! (Florence may soon follow.)
Which deodorant do you use?
I've been using Ban's "Shower Fresh" deodorant for a while now and I feel like it wears off after a couple hours and reacts weirdly with some of my perfumes, leaving a strange scent on my shirts. I'm looking for something new that is either unscented or has a light scent so that it doesn't clash with my perfumes and of course, BT was the first place I thought to ask my question. So I know it might be kind of weird to ask this, but which deodorant do you ladies use?
I absolutely love wearing perfumes but I have been using the same one for a really long time and I'm just getting bored of it. I've constantly been looking for a new sweet girly scent but I'm having a hard time choosing one. I don't want it to be too heavy but I also don't want to reek like straight up sugar. Any suggestions????
perfume Simler to prada candy
Woodsy perfumes
Can anyone recommend a perfume that is woodsy with perhaps notes of sandalwood and vetiver? I hate, hate, hate anything floral or fruity. Any women out there wearing mens cologne because they can't find a woman's perfume they like? Help!
Escada Rockin Rio
Hi Everyone, When I went to my local Sephora to make a purchase I received a sample of Rockin Rio by Escada and I absolutely love it. I am new to Escada products and I saw this is a limited edition perfume. I was wondering if this is a scent they have every summer (similar to how Philosphy has Marshmallows For Toasting for Christmas) or is this a one time offer? Take care! -Rutile
Wedding parfum
Hi, I am looking for à special perfum for my wedding day. Do you have any suggestions? I love feminine and romantic fragrances and m'y wedding will be in July (outdoor). Thanks a lot!

How does Taylor Swift's Wonderstruck compare to more expensive perfumes?
My wife absolutely loves Taylor Swift's fragrance "Wonderstruck", and I was just wondering how it compares to more exclusive and more well known fragrance brands, in terms of lasting scent, subtleties, and pricing...
Sephora fragrance sampler
I was gifted a fragrance purchased from the Sephora fragrance sampler but I do not like it. Can I exchange it for the one I want?
replacement for Miss Dior Cherie L'eau?
I'm looking for a replacement for the now-discontinued Miss Dior Cherie L'eau. I find the regular Miss Dior Cherie (now called Miss Dior Eau de Parfum, I think) and the Eau Fraiche versions to be overwhelming--I think the tuberose note is far too strong, and they both give me headaches. But these are the only two fragrances that I have seen suggested as replacements for Miss Dior Cherie L'eau. Any suggestions for a light but sophisticated floral that is similar to Miss Dior Cherie L'eau?
Does Sephora store perfume correctly?
Does sephora store there perfume correctly ? Because i bought a bottle of coach poppy and when i opened it up in the car the bottles temapature was warm? I am worried that the top notes are ruined. Do the bins sephora stores perfumes in have lights inside them? Beucause I got mine from the shelf. And am wondering if i should have asked for one from the back?
Versace, which?
So, I just went through my small bag of sample size perfumes. Let just say I found a new love interest in Versace. I have both the Bright Crystal and Vanitas. Now I can't decide which one I should get. Which one would you guys recommend? Their scents are pretty much on both end of the spectrum. For me Vanitas has a more warm scent to it; while Bright Crystal is fresh and bright.
Fall Fragrance...assistance needed
I would love to buy a long-lasting fragrance for the fall and need at least 5 choices to choose from. One more thing: I don't want to spend over $100 for it.
Spicy, Musky Fall/Winter scent
Normally a sweet & light perfume wearer, I've been searching for something spicy and musky for fall/winter for a couple of years now to no luck. A few suggestions for me to sniff next time I'm in Sephora would be welcomed, thanks! Not sure that it will help for identifying what I like in the spicy/musky category, but my sweet & light favorites are: D&G lmperatrice Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche (the green one) Prescriptives Calyx Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire
What is the difference between Viva la Juicy Limited Edition Perfume and the regular viva la Juicy?

Dot by Marc Jacobs
Hey girls, I just was wondering if any one had gotten the new Marc Jacobs fragrance. I just got it today and it smells sooooo good and the bottle is absolutely adorable!
Hi Kat! I would love to know if there is any chance to purchase your parfumes in Europe. Cuz I am dying to buy it but it is impossible even to order for now!

Asus full lowdown, claims 70% market share on X79 motherboards, future products and more
We've been covering Asus products, especially components like motherboards and graphics cards for years now, and you know they are good. Since their stunning success with netbooks however, they have become a more prominent brand for other consumer devices like laptops and tablets. You may still be surprised to hear their latest X79 series motherboards currently hold a 70 percent share of the global sales market for the recently introduced Sandy Bridge Enthusiast LGA 2011 platform.
The figures speak for themselves: two out of every three X79 series motherboards sold are Asus branded. Also, according to the company's latest figures, published by DigiTimes, the Z68 and P67 series motherboards have also reached a global market share of approximately 50-60 percent each as well.
Asus shipped 23.5 million motherboards during 2011 and has set targets of 25 million units for this year. They announced they will begin shipping motherboards based on Intel's new Ivy Bridge platform in late February. The firm also confirmed that recent reports suggesting motherboard production would slowdown were false, they went on to say their inventory levels are normal and they have no plans to slow down production in the first quarter.
On the tablet front the firm has confirmed they plan to offer upgrades to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich for their entire tablet range, which will be available for download on January 12.
Those curious about Windows 8 tablets should be covered as well – they plan to launch a new tablet PC using Intel's Clover Trail-W platform and ARM-based versions in the fourth quarter of 2012. Pricing is rumored to be at least $599 for the Intel-based tablet, and at least $459 for the ARM version, though it could well be subject to change as release is a long way off.
Finally, Asus disclosed plans to employ 100 more staff dedicated to Android at its Software R&D sites, and once Windows 8 tablets have been launched will then expand Windows staff further as well.

"P67 series motherboards have also reached a global market share of approximately 50-60 percent each as well.
Wouldn't believe it, except i just bought an Asus P67 Sabertooth a couple months ago.
I had thought Asus, MSI, and Gigabyte were on equal ground.
My last mobo was an MSI. Before that, an Intel, and before that, a Gigabyte.
I guess Asus has the best handle on these new sandybridge chipsets.
asus' high end boards have always been top notch and great performers. however the quality of their mid~low end boards seem to be plagued with low quality components. that's from my experience. as a result, you always have to end up spending top dollars to get a good product from them.
Probably more a case of:
Aggressive marketing -especially for the ROG series
Worldwide presence
Time to market (Biostar has just launched, EVGA isn't available worldwide yet, Foxconn where are you)
Number of models. MSi has three X79 boards (GD45 +mATX, GD65, Big Bang)-of which, one has only just launched, Asus has seven. A larger number of SKU's usually means that pricing and feature set can be tailored to every buying segment.
As for P67/Z68 (and X79), Asus has UEFI working out the gate, whereas Gigabyte's P67/Z68 boards still use a conventional BIOS (or hybrid EFI in TouchBIOS) - a fact that hasn't gone unnoticed either by reviewers or the buying public
can't wait to see what they have in store for Ivy Bridge this spring!
I wouldn't expect too much. Z77 seems to be functionally very similar the Z68 "chipset". Native PCI-E 3.0, USB3.0 and some expanded connectivity seem to be the order of the day judging by these Gigabyte shots and HC's spread of MSI boards
Have always bought Asus motherboards and never been let down. It's nice to see an innovative and efficient company doing as well as it deserves.
I've always bought Asus and only ever had one issue out of the 24 or so i've installed.
They keep their BIOS's Up-to-date and come out in a timely manner, Drivers are usually great out the box and get updated very quickly if there is a problem. I've currently got the Sabertooth and it has a very good 5 year warrenty and the motherboard that did fail on me Asus sent me a new one out that arrived a week later.Overall, I am a very happy Asus customer
people are commercially stupid, Gigabyte MB are way better.

Patti McGill Peterson Center for International and Intercultural Studies
The Double standard of the Flamenco Dance; Spanish icon or Gypsies' tradition?
During the fall semester of my senior year, I studied abroad on the Spain Program. The research grant that I received through the CIIS office allowed my experience abroad to be even more memorable. I learned about Flamenco and what it encompasses through interviews, lectures and live performances. I was able to not only explore Flamenco through a theoretical aspect, but as a dancer as well.
While I was in Madrid I attended Flamenco classes three times a week at the Amor de Dios academy for two and a half months. When I first started the classes it was difficult for me to isolate my upper torso and maintain a rigid posture, while my feet were tapping and making rhythms as fast as they could go. While I was working hard on trying to keep the rest of my body from moving and getting more frustrated when I failed to do so, I learned that eighty percent of the dance is posture and attitude while twenty percent of it is the actual dance moves. The hardest aspect of the dance is to interpret and reflect the emotional story that the strings of the guitar are telling. Through these classes I immersed myself in the culture and traditions of a marginalized group in Spain known as the gypsies. The Gypsies are a race that has never been accepted or recognized as being Spaniards by most of the population. In one of the interviews that I conducted with the guitarist for our dance class he identified himself as a Gypsy that just happens to be living in Spain. Most of the gypsies identified themselves with their race instead of a specific country. This is due mainly because gypsies tend to be nomadic people with the exception of the group that inhabited Spain five hundred years ago and have been there ever since.
As a Flamenco student I was able to relate on a more personal level to the dancers and the dance itself. As part of the dance class we went to a couple of Flamenco bars throughout Madrid to practice and form a special bond with our teacher. My teacher taught me that in order to be a Flamenco dancer you need dedication, patience, perseverance, and strong-will. These characteristics were shown in the faces of dancers as they competed with the guitar in the live performances that I attended. I learned so much about the emotions integrated in the dance by observing other dancers. To be the top performer you need to feel the pain, sorrow, sadness in the music and make the audience feel it through your dance steps.
All the places I went were exceptional, but the one that I truly connected to was a Flamenco bar that I went to while I was in Barcelona. As part of my research project I went to Barcelona to compare the Flamenco style between Madrid and Barcelona. It was my theory that in Madrid the more traditional style was perform, while in Barcelona the modern Flamenco influenced by different dances (salsa, merengue, hip pop, ballet, jazz etc) were performed. In this particular Flamenco bar that I went to the dancers made the audience part of the show, people where picked randomly and brought on stage to dance with the performers. I was one of the people that were picked and I had the chance to practice some of the dance moves that I had already learned. The experience was extraordinary; I danced on stage for several minutes while everyone else became my own audience. My theory of the modern style Flamenco was proven correct. One of the performers told me that the modern Flamenco is entirely different from the traditional; the traditional was an instrument to communicate the pain and sorrow of the gypsies while the modern style flamenco is an ensemble of all the different cultures brought by the immigrants that are now part of Spain.
This experience has helped me in so many different ways to understand and help communicate why Flamenco is so important to the gypsies and the Spaniards. The research that I conducted while I was in Spain is the foundation of my SYE where I will be defining the importance of this dance to both culture. I am grateful to the Weaver family and the CIIS office for giving me the chance to experience and learn everything that is encompassed in Flamenco.

Associated Press
ROBBINS (AP) — Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart says dozens of sexual assault kits found in an evidence room at the Robbins Police Department will be sent to the Illinois State Police.
Dart says 51 rape kits, some dating to 1986, were never submitted for analysis. In addition to the kits, 55 guns never sent to the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to trace their original ownership were found.
Dart on Tuesday said there is no acceptable reason why the rape kits weren't sent for testing.
Robbins Police Cmdr. Christian Daigre says the evidence room had not been maintained as it should have been but, "Going forward, it will absolutely be."
In 2007, about 200 untested rape kits were found at the Harvey Police Department, resulting in several arrests.

Montana offers leadership insights at luncheon
Huntington, Ind.—On Aug. 27, the Huntington University Center for Leadership hosted a leadership luncheon open to business and community leaders featuring Melissa Montana. She is a 25-year veteran of the radio industry and has served as the general manager of STAR 88.3 for 10 years and is the CEO/president of STAR Educational Media Network.
Montana's presentation was titled "Moving from Good to Great: The Value of Excellence" and focused on how, as Christians, "'good' shouldn't be enough."
Montana pointed out that "when you step up to be the leader God created you to be – you will experience mountain tops and valleys." But that doesn't mean that people can be "rollercoaster leaders." A leader is someone people can count on to be consistent.
It is because of this pressure, Montana suggests, that few people are willing to be true leaders.
"There is discomfort involved with the position at times," Montana said, "but a true leader at heart will jump in and take the challenge and discomfort."
To see how leadership is meant to work, Montana used the illustration of a puzzle.
"The people are represented by the pieces," Montana said. "They are all different shapes and sizes, but when you put them in the right spot it makes a wonderful picture. However, this also means that not all puzzle pieces fit in your puzzle, or company."
It is because of those ill-fitting puzzle pieces that Montana says it can be hard to be a leader.
If people are not in the right 'place,' a leader's responsibility is to put them in the right place.
Finally, Montana cautioned leaders to "deal with issues immediately and not let them brew, especially gossip, because gossip spreads like a cancer and is deadly if not dealt with."
This event is part of a series of luncheons that is offered on the fourth Thursday of every month.
The Huntington University Center for Leadership is housed on the university's campus in the EXCEL Adult Degree Programs office. Under the direction of Dr. Rick Upchurch, director of the EXCEL program, the CFL provides leadership training and resources to businesses, community leaders and pastors in northern Indiana.

Generalized least squares
This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. (May 2010) |
This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2009) |
Regression analysis |
Models |
Estimation |
Background |
In statistics, generalized least squares (GLS) is a technique for estimating the unknown parameters in a linear regression model. The GLS is applied when the variances of the observations are unequal (heteroscedasticity), or when there is a certain degree of correlation between the observations. In these cases ordinary least squares can be statistically inefficient, or even give misleading inferences.
Method outline[edit]
In a typical linear regression model we observe data on n statistical units. The response values are placed in a vector Y = (y1, ..., yn)′, and the predictor values are placed in the design matrix X = [[xij]], where xij is the value of the jth predictor variable for the ith unit. The model assumes that the conditional mean of Y given X is a linear function of X, whereas the conditional variance of the error term given X is a known matrix Ω. This is usually written as
Here β is a vector of unknown "regression coefficients" that must be estimated from the data.
Suppose b is a candidate estimate for β. Then the residual vector for b will be Y − Xb. Generalized least squares method estimates β by minimizing the squared Mahalanobis length of this residual vector:
Since the objective is a quadratic form in b, the estimator has an explicit formula:
The GLS estimator is unbiased, consistent, efficient, and asymptotically normal:
GLS is equivalent to applying ordinary least squares to a linearly transformed version of the data. To see this, factor Ω = BB′, for instance using the Cholesky decomposition. Then if we multiply both sides of the equation Y = Xβ + ε by B−1, we get an equivalent linear model Y* = X*β + ε*, where Y* = B−1Y, X* = B−1X, and ε* = B−1ε. In this model Var[ε*] = B−1Ω(B−1)′ = I. Thus we can efficiently estimate β by applying OLS to the transformed data, which requires minimizing
This has the effect of standardizing the scale of the errors and "de-correlating" them. Since OLS is applied to data with homoscedastic errors, the Gauss–Markov theorem applies, and therefore the GLS estimate is the best linear unbiased estimator for β.
Weighted least squares[edit]
A special case of GLS called weighted least squares (WLS) occurs when all the off-diagonal entries of Ω are 0. This situation arises when the variances of the observed values are unequal (i.e. heteroscedasticity is present), but where no correlations exist among the observed variances. The weight for unit i is proportional to the reciprocal of the variance of the response for unit i.
Feasible generalized least squares[edit]
This article needs attention from an expert on the subject. (May 2010) |
Feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) is similar to generalized least squares except that it uses an estimated variance-covariance matrix since the true matrix is not known directly.
The ordinary least squares (OLS) estimator is calculated as usual by
and estimates of the residuals are constructed.
For simplicity assume that the variance-covariance matrix of the error vector is diagonal, or equivalently that errors from distinct observations are uncorrelated. Then each diagonal entry may be estimated by the fitted residuals so may be constructed by
Estimate using using weighted least squares
This estimation of can be iterated to convergence given that the assumptions outlined in White[citation needed] hold.
The WLS and FGLS estimators have the following distributions

Leading a recent Pop Photo Nikon Mentor Series workshop in Maui, Hawaii, gave Tom Bol several chances to show how the Singh-Ray Vari-ND slows down exposure times dramatically.
"One of our main subjects was the dramatic beaches and waves we encountered while shooting during the day. Maui had incredible surf this week, so I knew the Vari-ND filter was going to be my filter of choice to create that silky ocean effect.
At mid-day we stopped at the Ke'anae, and I started using the Vari-ND filter to slow my shutter down to 20-30 seconds, creating some nice silky seascapes surrounding the black volcanic rocks. As soon as the students saw this effect, they were lining up to borrow my filter! There was no other way to get this slow shutter speed in the mid-day sun.
After the workshop, I went out to La Perouse Bay hoping for that one dramatic sunset image using the Vari-ND. I found a nice composition with some foreground rocks and surf with Kaho'olawe Island in the distance. I used a 70-200mm 2.8 lens at about 100mm, and set the exposure for F8 at 25 seconds using the Vari-ND to slow down the shutter speed for the right silky effect with the ocean. I also used a Singh-Ray 3 stop hard-edge Graduated Neutral Density filter to reduce the exposure of the sky and setting sun. For one quick moment, the sun peeked through the clouds and I took the shot. I'm happy with the result.

I need to create a query to first get all the tables with a particular column ( column name is log ) and, once I have this list of tables, iterate over each table to see if the log column contains a specific piece of text. So far I have this: If I do a select * from mytemp, I get the 5 tables I'm looking for. I need to write some kind of loop to iterate over these 5 tables, do a select log from thistable where log like '%hack%'. I'm close ( at least I'd like to think so ), but I need the rest of this query. I hope someone can help me. Thanks.

Hello kathy, You can use dynamic sql
+1 use a cursor to iterate and create the dynamic SQL. Also keep in mind that like %somevalue% causes SQL to ignore indexes.

Hakan winther, i agree with you, If your filter is like 'SomValue%' then optimizer will not ignore the indexes.
Aug 12 '10 at 10:56 PM
It's giving me an error: Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Invalid column name 'ID'. This is against sql server 2008.
Aug 13 '10 at 04:53 AM
sorry its my fault since i worked with a sample table, replace that id with 'Log'

I blame the media: every manager has an itchy trigger finger early in the season when it comes to the bullpen. Or I blame myself and everyone else who obsesses over fantasy as we've created a culture where 5.2 IPs are something that need to be dissected and reacted to as if a reliever is only going to throw 10 innings, not 60-80 innings, in a season.
That said, that's the culture we're in. Fantasy baseball owners need to be nimble and react and jump on potential closers. With that in mind, let's get bold and look down the line at which RPs will emerge as saviors.
As always, check the bottom of the column for the BS meter, which will track blown saves for relevant relievers all season long. As you'll note in the nifty third-grade-level chart, only 16 subjectively "relevant" relievers have blown 2 or more saves. Of those, nine were closers to start the year. Oddly, Scott Downs has two blown saves and the pitcher he replaced, Jordan Walden, has only blown one.
Oakland Athletics: In two of his last four outings, Grant Balfour has blown saves. It has actually been worse than that, as Balfour has pitched 2.1 IPs, allowed six hits, six runs and walked three batters during that span. His ERA rose from 1.50 to 4.72. That said, he's getting hurt by more HRs than should be expected and he's walking a few more batters. While there's a small decline in his fastball velocity, his swinging strike percentage remains constant. The Athletics need Balfour to close to trade him, so he is in no immediate danger of losing the chance at saves. His manager said as much after Tuesday's debacle. However, he will likely get traded or demoted after the trade deadline if the A's can't move him, which would give Ryan Cook save chances. A lot can happen between now and then, but he's worth a stash. Cook, just 24, came over in the Trevor Cahill trade. He has always walked a ton of people, but, at least, he's posted great K-rates along the way, and, so far, a hot-air balloon-sized walk rate hasn't hampered him. At the end of the year, Cook will have 65 K's, a 3.90 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP. Update: Fuentes got the save opportunity against Boston in a cushy three-run game last night. He gave up a hit on a weak grounder, an RBI double to Dustin Pedroia but otherwise perfect. Cook pitched the 8th and, until the trade deadline, might be behind Fuentes for save chances. I'd still prefer Cook as the handcuff/speculative add as Fuentes is nothing but a slightly better LOOGY.
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim: As noted, Scott Downs is now the closer for the Angels. However, everything coming from the Angels seems to suggest this is a temporary move. Downs is doing his best to keep the job and is a short term stash, however the chances he stays the closer all year are probably under 50%. Recently Mike Scioscia said it wouldn't take long for Walden to rediscover his "mojo" (the media didn't ask how that 2011 form, which included 10 blown saves, differed from his 2012 form). Walden is also the "future" at closer, so he'll get some shots unless Downs is just amazing (which he isn't). In addition, word is the Angels have kicked the tires on a variety of RPs: Joel Hanrahan, Brandon League, Balfour and Huston Street. If the Angels continue to scuffle and the bullpen gets painted as the culprit, expect the Angels to make a cosmetic move to make up for it. If you can trade Walden or Downs, that makes sense. If not, hold them and hope Albert Pujols decides to be El Hombre.
Los Angeles Dodgers: Sometimes actions speak louder than words and sometimes they don't. Don Mattingly gave Kenley Jansen all the save chances over the weekend, while a seemingly rested Javy Guerra was available. Jansen, because he's one of the best relievers in baseball, acquitted himself quite well. Then, of course, in a tight game in the ninth against the Rockies, Mattingly went to Guerra who pitched a decent frame. Guerra has allowed 10 hits over his last 3 innings and has a 5.56 ERA. Still, Guerra will get most of the easy saves and a few of the toughies. Given Jansen's ability and decent shot at double digit saves, he's worth owning everywhere. In addition, I'd try to work a trade for Jansen based on Guerra's latest save.
Chicago White Sox: Robin Ventura has put himself in a corner with this Hector Santiago business. While he maintains Santiago is the closer, Matt Thornton recently got save opportunities against lefty-heavy/tough line-ups. Santiago was then given an inning of work on Tuesday, put three batters on base and narrowly escaped without allowing a run. He hasn't pitched in a high leverage spot since April 25. At the moment, the rosiest glasses picture Santiago on the good side of a platoon with Thornton. Of course, Thornton gave up a couple of runs, including a HR to lefty Travis Hafner last night. Meanwhile, Addison Reed is straight killing it. Go all in on Reed, as he'll emerge quickly as the guy who gets 80% of the save chances during the season. For those of you in dynasty leagues or intense save formats, check out Dylan Axelrod. From my Wikipedia research, that is not a made-up name. Axelrod has been a starter in recent history and has shown he can control the strike-zone.Ventura first chose his fourth best reliever to close, so stranger things have already happened.
New York Mets: I continue to maintain that the only thing that will stop Frank Francisco from closing all year is his health. Of course, he now has a bizarre hamstring issue that the Mets are claiming is a result of dehydration because of their trip to Colorado. That sounds fishy, but, according to Terry Collins, Francisco was available on Tuesday. Frank Franc hasn't pitched since April 29 when he got the awesome blown save-win, and, before that, he converted two saves in a row. Since the 29th, the Mets haven't won a game, but Jon Rauch and Bobby Parnell have pitched well. Given how bad the Mets are, speculation on this bullpen is near fruitless. I wouldn't mind betting on Parnell in a league where most middle relievers are owned.
Minnesota Twins: Has there been more ink wasted on anything as useless as the Twins closer situation? Matt Capps has been horrible but hasn't pitched in a high leverage spot since April 23 and hasn't had a save opportunity since April 20. Startlingly, Capps hasn't actually blown a save this season and is a perfect 4/4. Meanwhile, popular handcuff Glen Perkins is off to a tough start as well. If you're in a dynasty league that can stash minor leaguers, check out Deolis Guerra. I know, "another Guerra," but who doesn't love war? Besides pacifists, I mean. Guerra earned a quick promotion from AA to AAA and could be in the majors later this year. If there's a true future closer in the Twins organization, my money is on Guerra.
Miami Marlins: Holy crap, Heath Bell pitched a clean inning in a save opportunity. It should be noted that Edward Mujica got the hold in the game, while the younger Steve Cishek sat on the bench. Bell has a long leash, so if you're going to burn a roster spot on a pitcher, take the better guy: Cishek.
Pittsburgh Pirates: With the Pirates going nowhere fast, Joel Hanrahan could very well be traded. While Juan Cruz seems like the add, I'd actually bet on Jason Grilli. Grilli has recorded a hold in each of Hanrahan's saves. In addition, he has been fantastic: posting a 15.0 K:BB rate. He's not that good (no one is), but he could finish with a 3.30 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 70 K's. If you're stashing grab Grilli.
San Diego Padres: Huston Street should be traded this year. If he gets moved, Andrew Cashner and Ernesto Frieri are the likeliest to step in a close. I prefer Frieri, who has paired great K-rates with dangerous walk rates. However, you can succeed with high walk rates in Petco (just ask Heath Bell). At the end of the year, I expect a 3.05 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 85 K's for Frieri. As for Cashner, if you thought Frieri walked a ton of batters, just wait. So far, Cashner has been walking the tight rope with a 6.39 BB/9 rate. At the end of the year, he'll have a 3.60 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 68 K's. In addition, Cashner was acquired to start, not relieve. Consequently, there shouldn't be much pressure on the Padres to put Cashner in that role, while Frieri could be the "closer of the future."
Seattle Mariners: Tom Wilhelmsen is about nine months younger than Brandon League. You would think either would be available at the trade deadline. Naturally, if League is dealt, Wilhelmsen is the man. He is off to a good start, increasing his strike-outs and improving his command. He'll be good for 75 K's, a 3.50 ERA and 1.25 WHIP. Given his skill set and K potential, he's worth owning right now.
Colorado Rockies: Rafael Betancourt blew a save in rather spectacular fashion yesterday: he allowed two runs on two hits and two walks. He did strike-out the side, so there's that. His ERA sits at 2.45 after the disastrous outing, so there's not much to be seen here. Both Matt Belilse and Rex Brothers had their problems as well.
Tampa Bay Rays: Kyle Farnsworth is on the 60 day DL and Fernando Rodney is dealing. What is the world coming to?

Caleb Porter Putting His Mark on U.S. U-23 MNT Program
The U-23s start their third training camp under Caleb Porter on Jan. 8 in Carson, Calif. The following two and a half weeks include two matches against the U.S. MNT, followed by two scrimmages in Costa Rica.

The U-23s start their third training camp under Caleb Porter on Jan. 8 in Carson, Calif. The following two and a half weeks include two matches against the U.S. MNT, followed by two scrimmages in Costa Rica. This session retains 18 players from the December session in Florida as Porter and Co. focus on the 2012 CONCACAF Olympic Qualifying Tournament in March.
It was less than three months ago when Caleb Porter was named the U.S. Under-23 Men's National Team head coach. As the U-23s enter just their third training session under Porter (Jan. 8-25 in Carson, Calif., and San Jose, Costa Rica), he already has been impressed with the group's progress during his early tenure.
"When I got the job, I was anticipating this moment coming in with the guys," Porter said. "You have your ideas of what it's going to be like, but you never fully know until you get in.
"I've really enjoyed getting to know the guys, being out there on the field with them. Even though these guys are pros and they've played at a high level, they still are very eager to learn and grow, and I was pleasantly surprised with the fact that they were so coachable, so bought in."
Porter's January camp includes 18 out of the 22 players who participated in the Dec. 15-23 training session in Lakewood Ranch, Fla. As the team has its eyes on the 2012 CONCACAF Olympic Qualifying Tournament (March 22-26, LP Field in Nashville, Tenn.; tickets on sale at ussoccer.com), Porter has started to narrow down the best corps moving forward.
The biggest talking point that Porter wants to see on the pitch for the U-23s is heightened possession play, whether that is maintaining control on offense or aggressively winning the ball back on defense to sustain a high level of attack.
"We're not going to be a team that sits back and counters," Porter said. "We want to have the ball. We want to control the game and be the proactive team. We want to be the aggressor in the game."
The group's first two camps focused heavily on imprinting the style and system of play, Porter said. Now Porter will have a chance to see how the U-23s fare on the pitch against the U.S. Men's National Team (Jan. 13 and 17 scrimmages in Carson, Calif.), and against Saprissa Reserves (Jan. 21) and Alajuela (Jan. 24) in San Jose, Costa Rica.
"As can be expected, when you introduce new activities it takes a little bit of time for them to initially figure it out and get comfortable," Porter said. "I think moving forward to the next camp, those things will be more comfortable. But we felt like we made great progress [in Florida]. The guys seemed to enjoy the activities we used, and they seemed to really buy into the way that we want to play and the philosophy we have."
Porter wants his roster to dictate the flow of matches, and he is hammering home the message of winning the possession battle and sustaining that control.
"That's something that we stress on a daily basis – control the ball, spacing, movement, combination play, rhythm, speed of play," Porter said. "All those little details and angles of movement and support, we stress those every single day."
The London 2012 Olympic Games take center stage this summer, so Porter's roster naturally has amped up its drive for the possibility of participating in the worldwide picture.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Porter said. "In training and activities, they're competing. These guys want to win. They're pros. They hate losing, and I love that. I think these guys have some of the prototypical U.S. character traits, and I think that's a good thing."

Cellular South joins DOJ to block AT&T's T-Mobile merger
Wireless provider Cellular South has filed suit against AT&T's proposed T-Mobile merger, arguing that the deal should not be approved.
In a complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and seen by CNET, Cellular South argues that AT&T's proposed acquisition of T-Mobile USA violates the Clayton Antitrust Act, and, echoing the concerns of other critics, says that the deal would stifle competition in the marketplace.

World's Most Expensive Penthouse?
Here's one sign of a global housing recovery: Every month seems to bring a new "world's most expensive" listing or sale.
This month's offering is the penthouse of the Tour Odeon in Monaco. The Odeon is still under construction and won't be finished until the end of 2014. But already it's become one of the world's most exclusive and desired addresses among the super-rich.
Sales are averaging about 65,000 euros per square meter, which works out to around $7,700 per square foot, according to Fred Schiff of Knight Frank, the London-based estate agents who are handling the global marketing for Odeon.
(Read More: America's Most Expensive Homes)
The penthouse of the 49-story building is still a concept and is not officially on the market yet. It could wind up being multiple units or one giant penthouse.
But one design that's being bandied about would add a 33,000 square-foot penthouse on the top floors that would include a private infinity pool and massive ceilings and panoramic windows. Capping it all off is a water slide, allowing the billionaire owner to shoosh into the pool that's more than 500 feet above the ocean.
(Read More: Booming Market Adds 300,000 New US Millionaires)
Schiff said that nothing has been decided with the penthouse and the water slide design is merely a designer plan. "It's just one thing the developers are talking about," he said.
Still, if the penthouse was built, it would sell for more than $250 million, making it the most expensive penthouse in the world. That would top the reported $212 million paid for a flat in the One Hyde Park development in London.
Even if it doesn't top the most expensive, the Odeon penthouse would certainly claim the title for the world's coolest water slide.
