Hello! I just got my Nokia X2 yesterday and i just saw that the format of pictures is .nrw , how can i change it to JPG/JPEG and videos are saved as 3gp how do i change them to MP4?
23-12-2010 11:24
Hello Friend,
I am having the same problem. when i shoot more than 4 or 5 stills, images automatically coming in .nrw format and its size is 5MB.
A small solution which worked for me: After taking photographs just switch off the phone once for a minute and then switch it on. With in 10-15 min all images will automatically convert into .JPEG format.

Hello DaniaWania. Just use file manager on Nokia PC Suite and copy pictures from your PC to a folder on your phone. This worked for me with .jpg pics, I don't know if it works with .bmp or .png picture formats.

Release Date: 1995 |
Album Rating: 5.0This is an easy 5 for me, such quality. It's funny because everything they've done post-this is pretty mediocre.
And great review and all.This Message Edited On 06.24.06
I've heard of Mobb Deep but I've never actually heard an album of his. The review makes it sound promising and this is probably something that I'll check out over time.
Album Rating: 4.5Very well written review, Ive heard Prodigy's guest spots on alot of records, and Ive wanted to get some of thier own work. Ill be getting this soon hopefully.
Album Rating: 4.5As I understand it, the Russian anarchists advocated the complete annihilation of all previous values, without the intent of replacing them with a new set, unlike the nihilism of Nietzsche, so yeah in the sense that there are no discernible morals on the album, save the desire to live, yes I was seriousThis Message Edited On 06.24.06
Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound OffThis is an easy 5 for me, such quality. It's funny because everything they've done post-this is pretty mediocre.
Hell On Earth?
Anyway, yes, this is a classic, for sure. Shook Ones Pt. II is one of the illest songs ever and Eye For An Eye is quite the crazy cut as well.
This is an easy 5 for me, such quality. It's funny because everything they've done post-this is pretty mediocre.
Album Rating: 4.5I really love all tracks on this, but the Preludes, especially the Infamous Prelude keeps this from being a classic.
Shook Ones is a classic, I need this.
Album Rating: 4.5Yes you should. If you love Shook Ones, I'm pretty sure you'll like this.
Album Rating: 3.5Very good album, but I don't agree that this is one of the greatest hip-hop albums ever. Too many other artists (Nas, Biggie, Wu-Tang and various Wu solo albums) have done this kind of production and concept better.
Album Rating: 4.0great album. the guest spots from Nas, Ghostface and Raekwon are especially good.
Album Rating: 4.0I cannot stand Nas tbh
Album Rating: 5.0This is the darkest hip hop album I ever heard. Prodigy is one of the realest mcs to ever grace the mic and Havoc's production on this cd alone is must hear material.
Album Rating: 4.5 Prodigy is one of the realest mcs to ever grace the mic
Correction: Prodigy was one of the realest mcs to ever grace the mic.
New Mobb Deep sucks, hard.
Prodigy is one of the realest mcs to ever grace the mic
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Off
great album. this is reminiscent of some of the Gravediggaz and Brotha Lynch Hung material, along with some later groups I've heard like Immortal Technique. however, I would not associate this with horrorcore, as its got that dry dun style and keeps the lyrics tight, giving this a truly legitimate atmosphere. And its not disgusting, as some horrorcore turns out to be. Get this album. It will make you feel like you're laid back in an old rusty Lincoln, about to open up on the kid who messed up that drop.
Album Rating: 4.5Mobb deep at their best. This album conjures such a strong depressing image of life for the boys of Queensbridge. Kinda reminds me of how life in London is becoming for some kids, although the problem is being a bit exaggerated by the media.
Album Rating: 5.0So I'm checkin this out right now... haha
Album Rating: 3.5The [The Infamous Prelude] at no two is the most annoying placement ever.
Album Rating: 5.0A classic if there ever was one. Never get old of this.
Album Rating: 5.0p gone crazy yo

Junior wide receiver Bernard Reedy (St. Petersburg, FL) was added to the Biletnikoff Award Official Watch List today. The Biletnikoff Award is presented annually to the nation's top receiver. Reedy joins freshman teammate Alonzo Russell on the watch list.
Reedy leads the Rockets with 52 receptions, 666 receiving yards and five touchdown catches this season. He is ranked third in the MAC and 11th in the country in receptions per game, and third in the MAC and 12th nationally in receiving yards.
Reedy was named Mid-American Conference West Division Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance in Toledo's 52-47 victory over Eastern Michigan last Saturday. He had a career game in Toledo's 52-47 victory, most of it coming in the third quarter. He snagged a career-best 11 passes and set the UT record with 237 receiving yards. He scored on receptions of 65 and 59 yards. He added an 89-yard kickoff return for a TD for a total of 407 all-purpose yards, also a school record and the third-largest total in MAC history.
Reedy, who leads the MAC in both kickoff and punt returns, also was named MAC West Special Teams Player of the Week following his performance in Toledo's 50-35 victory over CMU on Oct. 6. He had a 66-yard punt return for a TD in the third quarter of that game.

Kansas City Chiefs
Dunta Robinson - CB
|5' 10"/ 183 lbs.
|Athens, GA
|South Carolina
|Years played
|2004, 1st round, 10th pick by Texans
Chiefs ink TE Fasano to four-year deal
The Chiefs and former Dolphins TE Anthony Fasano agreed to terms on a four-year deal on Tuesday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Chiefs add CB Robinson
Arguably no team in the league has gotten a better head start on free agency than the Chiefs, who continued their spending spree Friday by signing former Falcons CB Dunta Robinson, as first reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Kansas City Chiefs: 2013 team needs
We highlight the top three needs on offense and defense for the Kansas City Chiefs, and take a look back at their 2012 draft class.
Chiefs release ORT Winston
The Chiefs released ORT Eric Winston, the team announced Thursday.
Chiefs tag Albert; re-sign Bowe, Colquitt
The Chiefs applied the franchise tag to OLT Branden Albert and re-signed WR Dwayne Bowe and P Dustin Colquitt to long-term deals.
Three takeaways from Smith deal
Instead of declaring a winner in a trade that won't become official for two weeks, Arthur Arkush offers three takeaways from San Fran sending Alex Smith to K.C.
Report: 49ers trade QB Alex Smith to Chiefs
The 49ers have agreed to trade QB Alex Smith to the Chiefs, Fox Sports' Jay Glazer first reported. The deal is not official until March 12.
Chiefs' Dorsey eyes '333 players' for first pick
New Chiefs GM John Dorsey was evasive when talking about his options for the first overall pick, plus his own impending free agents.
Reid: Chiefs open to trading top pick
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said the possibility exists that the team could trade its top overall draft pick.
Chiefs release WR Breaston, TE Boss
The Chiefs released WR Steve Breaston and TE Kevin Boss on Tuesday, the team announced.
Chiefs add WR Gilyard, DL Dixon, TE Brock
The Chiefs signed WR Mardy Gilyard, DL Marcus Dixon and TE Kevin Brock on Monday, according to the NFL's transactions.
Signs point to TE involvement, success in Chiefs offense
History tells us that Andy Reid's arrival in Kansas City should bode well for the Chiefs' tight ends, writes contributor Herbie Teope.
On the clock: Chiefs consider options at top of draft
Holders of the No. 1 overall pick in April's draft, Andy Reid and the Chiefs are beginning to consider their options in re-stocking the K.C. roster.
Chiefs add Toub to coaching staff
The Chiefs announced Tuesday the hiring of Dave Toub as the team's new special-teams coordinator.
Autopsy: Belcher drunk at time of murder-suicide
Jovan Belcher had a blood-alcohol level more than twice the legal limit when he shot his girlfriend nine times and then killed himself, an autopsy showed.
The Kansas City Chiefs have reached a deal with Robinson.||||||| Robinson has played in 131 games over nine NFL seasons with the Houston Texans and Atlanta Falcons. His career numbers include 580 tackles, 5.5 sacks, 17 interceptions and 87 pass breakups.
Robinson was released by the Falcons.||||||| This is not a suprise move as it allowed the Falcons to save money in their quest for a younger roster. The 30-year-old Robinson signed with Atlanta in 2010 and became a steady figure in the secondary, known especially for his bruising hits. He had four interceptions over the past three seasons.
Atlanta's starting lineup includes defensive end John Abraham (ankle), safety William Moore (hamstring) and Robinson (concussion) in Sunday's divisional playoff game against Seattle.||||||| Falcons backup safety Charles Mitchell (calf) also is active.
Robinson returned for Sunday's 30-28 victory over Seattle.||||||| Robinson suffered a head injury in the first quarter of the regular-season finale and did not return.
Robinson, whose hit on Philadelphia's DeSean Jackson last season left both players with concussions, has drawn another unnecessary roughness penalty for a big hit on an Eagles receiver. He was fined $40,000 for the play.||||||| Robinson drew the 15-yard penalty with 6:12 remaining in the third quarter after leading with his helmet on a hit to Jeremy Maclin in Sunday night's game. Robinson didn't appear to make a helmet-to-helmet hit but instead hit Maclin lower, perhaps hitting the receiver's chin. Maclin was slow to leave the field, but he returned to the game. Robinson was fined $50,000 for last year's hit, but the fine was later reduced to $25,000.

Im just curious as to why everyone criticizes Andre Branch?me
"We've got a lot of different stuff we're doing that we really haven't done in years past,'' said the team's elder statesmen, center Brad Meester, who has played for all five of Jacksonville's head coaches, from Tom Coughlin on. "I don't want to say we've been too conventional, but we haven't been pushing the envelope. "And the problem was sometimes when we were conventional like that, people were loading the box against the run game and you're running up hill at that point. Now we've got so many things we can do, and different options to get into the right situation at any time, depending on what the defense shows us.''http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/nfl/news/20130814/jacksonville-jaguars-gus-bradley/#ixzz2bzNUyFys
"Caldwell is damn good. He learned from the best, in (Bill) Polian and Dimitroff, and he's become a great blend of who he's been around. You can see it with the draft class, and the college free agents they signed, in how they'll build it -- going young, hitting third-tier free agency. He knows what he wants. He's been with a Hall of Fame executive, so he's seen the model. He's tireless and sound, and leaves no stone unturned. ... It's a perfect match, I really believe that. The way he'll do it, that's how you go about it, and he's in the right market for that approach. It's where they are as a team; it matches up with his core beliefs, going back to who he's been around. I know that program, and it's as good as it gets. ... And with Gus, I really like the guy, his passion, his energy. They're on the same page. They get along and respect each other in the process. It's a good marriage, the whole thing."From NFL.com

"How many players are in the NFL? I would assume it's 90 X 32 at this point, right? So, ballpark about 3,000 players, correct? Why one player? Why do you ask about one player? What about the other 2,999?"Shad Khan
Sick & tired of fans asking me about the #NFLDraft. For the last time.. I HAVE NO IDEA what commercial ESPN will air during our 2nd pick.— Austen Lane (@A_Train_92) April 24, 2013Twitter
We need more questions for this week's Chasing The Lombardi--the new Q&A with the writers of BCC. Tag your tweets with #JagsColumn or just ask a question underneath hereClick for last week's column.
Chiefs today announced the hiring of former Jags offensive line coach Andy Heck as their new OL coach. As an outsider and not knowing much about him it's easy to be concerned because of the recent results on the field. As Jags fans can you help us out with any info about Heck or what to expect as fans? Thanks in advance.- Arrowhead Pride.
We've got to become a more talented team. It does start with talent. We can be a more talented team. You're always looking to add. We can do things better than we've done, and that's clearly my goal. Your greatest need is talent. That is where it starts. We've got to continue to upgrade this roster to win more games.Jaguars GM Gene Smith, to Mark Long of the Associated Press.

Course Substitutions and Departmental Approved Electives
Department chairs and approved program coordinators may use our online form for major and minor course substitutions and waivers for students in their majors and/or minors only. This is available in the Faculty Services tab in MyCentral. Choose the "Course Substitution" link and then input the student's 700 number.
Questions about major and minor course substitutions can be directed to Amanda Casarez in the Registrar's Office at 660-543-8072. Substitutions for non-major specific general education courses are processed by the student's academic advisor.
What is a substitution?
A course substitution is a one-time use of a UCM or transfer course for a required course for a particular student. A substitution is specific to that student, not something that you wish to be done for all students in your major or minor. Acceptance of a course as a substitute does not imply that the course is "equivalent" to the course being substituted. It implies that the department chair has deemed that the substitute "fulfills the spirit" of the requirement being met.
Who can make substitution decisions?
Professional academic advisors can make decisions regarding general education substitutions (as long the major/minor does not require a particular course in that general education category). Requests for General Education course substitutions using courses completed at UCM but not listed in the General Education Curriculum may be approved in rare cases by the Assistant Provost for Undergraduate Studies. The student requesting the substitution must submit a written appeal through the academic advisor, who will forward the appeal to the Assistant Provost for Undergraduate Studies. Normally the Assistant Provost for Undergraduate Studies will convey the decision back to the academic advisor within one week.
Department chairs and approved program coordinators over the student's major/minor can substitute only major/minor coursework or any major or minor required general education classes. Department chairs and approved program coordinators may approve transfer and/or UCM courses as major or minor program substitutions.
Department chairs and approved program coordinators may only substitute courses for students in their major/minor!
Transfer Substitution vs. Course Articulation
If you find yourself substituting the same transfer class into your major or minor for many students, please work with Michael Olsen in the Admissions Office to articulate this course. Once the course is articulated it will automatically fulfill the proper requirement in your major/minor and will alleviate the paperwork needed for each substitution. A list of existing articulated courses can be found here.
Departmentally Approved Major/Minor Elective
If you find yourself substituting the same UCM class into your major or minor for departmentally approved electives, please work with Laura Miller in the Registrar's Office to add this course to your Central Degree audit. Once the course is added to the Central Degree audit as an appropriate option it will automatically fulfill the departmentally approved elective requirement in your major/minor and will alleviate the paperwork needed for each substitution.

Sears Holding Corp. says it has signed a contract with Edward Lampert to keep him on as CEO of the company at a salary of $1 per year.
A regulatory document shows that the billionaire hedge-fund manager will be paid an annual base salary of $1, but with the opportunity for a bonus of up to $2 million and up to $4.5 million in stock per year.
Sears announced in January that Lampert would take over as CEO after Louis J. D'Ambrosio stepped down due to health issues involving his family. Lampert is the chairman and largest shareholder of the Hoffman Estates, Ill., company.
Shares of the operator of the Sears and Kmart stores slipped 57 cents to $51.73 in midday trading, in line with the broader market.

Mississippi consistently ranks as one of the unhealthiest states in the nation.
Today health professionals are discussing ways to change that statistic.
"Mississippi Rising: A Preventive Health Symposium" brought doctors from across the state and nation to the Capital City to discuss cardiovascular disease.
Much of the talks focused on how to get patients to exercise on a regular basis, along with changing their diet and lifestyle.
Those economical measures can save your life and your money in the long run.
"Although we can do a lot, we're much better off preventing the illness to begin with. So, we want to concentrate our efforts. It's much more cost effective and beneficial for the patient and their long term outcome to actually prevent the disease," said President of the Mississippi Chapter of American College of Cardiology Dr. Michael Mansour.
Mississippi and Louisiana tied for the 49th healthiest state in the nation, according to a United Health Foundation study released in December.

Last Update: July 1, 2014
Section 75021 Active Projects List has been updated.
Section 75021 Interim Water Supplies: Applications, application guidelines, and draft FAQs for interim water supplies are available below.
Other Funding information: Please go to our funding opportunities for public water systems webpage for important announcements, claims forms, and pre-application information.
Proposition 84, The Safe Drinking Water, Water Quality and Supply, Flood Control, River and Coastal Protection Act of 2006 (Public Resources Code Section 75001, et seq.), was passed by California voters in the November 2006 general election. [To stay current, refer to the actual Public Resources Code, Division 43.]
CDPH's Drinking Water Program is responsible for implementing Sections 75021, 75022, and 75025 of Chapter 2 (Safe Drinking Water and Water Quality Projects). CDPH held public workshops in 2007 (see the workshop presentation (PowerPoint)) and sought public comments on draft criteria for funding under Chapter 2. In addition, CDPH received input from its Stakeholder Committee Members.
In September 2008, Senate Bills SB X2 1(PDF) and SB 732 (PDF) were signed into law, requiring changes to funding criteria for Sections 75022 and 75025. CDPH held two public meetings in 2009 to consider public comments on the draft revised criteria for Section 75022 and for the draft new criteria for Section 75025 (now final, see below).
On December 21, 2012, CDPH revised the criteria for Proposition 84, Section 75021 Emergency Grants to expand the allowable uses of the funding to address an urgent need to provide interim water supplies to public water systems that serve severely disadvantaged communities and lack the technical and financial capability to deliver water that meets primary safe drinking water standards.
On April 16, 2014, CDPH revised the criteria for Proposition 84, Sections 75022 and 75025. The revisions allow CDPH to extend project completion deadlines beyond the maximums specified in prior criteria. The criteria changes were made in consultation with appropriate stakeholder groups. CDPH did not receive any comments opposing the revisions.
Section 75021 Criteria (December 21, 2012) (PDF)(Emergency clean water grants - $10 Million).
NOTE: Under certain circumstances applications may be forwarded to the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) for funding under its Cleanup and Abatement Account (CAA). CAA funds have fewer restrictions than Proposition 84 on the funding of operation and maintenance (O&M) costs and are not subject to Proposition 84 labor compliance requirements. Please contact your local CDPH District Office (PDF) or the SWRCB CAA program for more information.

But in the last 10 years have you ever watched a tv series as Lost or Grey's? No. We had plenty of character dramas and medical dramas but no one has been like those two.

Perfect Coverage I LOVE this hat! I've been looking for a while and am so glad I came across this one. The linen color goes with everything. It is comfortable and adjustable so it will fit snuggly on windy occasions. Brim is perfect size to cover face completely and brim can be worn down for additional coverage when sitting and reading but really needs to be rolled up when walking or it's harder to see. I wear it every day when walking my dogs at the beach. I get tons of compliments as the style is attractive and so functional. I have not tried to clean it yet but haven't really needed to. Give it a try, I think you'll be glad you did! May 13, 2014
Great protection from the sun This hat will shade your face completely from the sun. Nice adjustable ties too! September 22, 2013
Would have liked it I was at the Thousand Oaks store and was debating over 2 different styles. The clerk recommended this one because of the SPF protection and that I could put it in the washer. Her saying this finalized my decision quickly as I was planning on putting this hat through good use and loved the idea of being able to wash it. After only having this hat for a couple of weeks it is now ruined. It has lost all shape and looks like a $5 hat now, rather than $60. I am very disappointed that she gave such erroneous statements and want to return it but don't want to drive 30 miles out of my way to return it when it would have been fine if she had not told me it was okay to wash. August 6, 2013
This hat provided the exact amount of sun protection that I was hoping for. This hat is light, doesn't make my head sweat, but provides protection from the sun for my head. It's also stylish and I can wear it with anything. July 9, 2013
fell apart I purchased this about a month and a half ago and have used it only a handful of times. One of the seams has completely come undone, leaving a gaping hole. This was my first purchase from this brand, and I thought for the price that the quality would have been much better. Needless to say, I am very disappointed. It was purchased on vacation, so I can't even take it back to the retail store. July 7, 2013
Love it!!!! Love the color and the brim shape adjusts really well. July 5, 2013
My lovely hat!!! This hat is super cute and comfortable.Good quality,great color and well done in the details.I got many compliments on it and it fit nicely.It has an inside cord for adjusting.Folded nicely into my lugguage which was a big plus. May 3, 2013
It is absolutely the best hat with sun protection!! I took it everywhere with me in Australia & New Zealand during their hot summer months! I purchased the linen big brim hat in black. It is absolutely the best hat with sun protection!! I took it everywhere with me in Australia & New Zealand during their hot summer months! Extremely portable for travel and crushable for packing - yet, it maintained its shape. Trust me it took a lot of abuse! At first, I was concerned about the color (black) as it may be too hot for the heat - how wrong I was!! The hat is lightweight and breatheable. It made for a great time in the summer heat while down under!! A+++ February 13, 2013

Greenville police announced Sunday that they had found a car belonging to a missing Greenville woman but had no other updates immediately available.
Police said they picked up Misty Johnson's car after it was found in the city limits of Greenville on Saturday but would not say where the car was found.
Meanwhile, a flier depicting Johnson and her vehicle was posted on the Missing Person Alert Organization's website Sunday morning, escalating the search for her to a national scale.
Greenville police initially asked for the public's help in locating Johnson on Saturday.
Officers said she was last seen on Thursday morning leaving Junior's sports bar on Gladys Drive by herself.
Johnson's best friend, Ashley Ryland, said she became worried when Johnson stopped answering text messages.
"It was immediate concern and 'what could have happened,'" said Ryland. "It's not like her not to talk with her friends."
Ryland, who works with Johnson, said she has not contacted work, friends or family since her disappearance. She said friends have flooded social media with Johnson's picture and even searched for her on foot.
A tearful Ryland told FOX Carolina she would not stop her efforts until her friend is found.
"She is my best friend. She's a great person. She makes every situation better and now she's in this situation. And there's nothing we can do," said Ryland.
Anyone with information on Johnson's whereabouts is asked to call Greenville police at 864-271-5333.

CHICAGO, Ill. -- Governor Pat Quinn is continuing his quest to raise the minimum wage in Illinois.
The governor first proposed raising minimum wage to $10 an hour during his 2013 State of the State Address.
Quinn continued the campaign Wednesday during a stop at a Chicagoland church.
"One thing we learned at Georgetown is when you have consumer demand, that's the best way to help your economy," he said. "And that's what we've got to do when we raise the minimum wage. We've gotta understand that when we put more purchasing power in the hands of hard working people, they're not going to admire the money in the bank vault, they're going to go out and spend that money."
Minimum wage has not gone up since 2010.
The governor supports raising minimum wage from $8.25 to at least $10 an hour and then tying additional raises in the minimum wage to the cost of living.

I'm having this at the Cascade Barrel House in Portland OR. Poured out of what they refer to as a "live barrel". Here's the brewer's description:
This "live" barrel of NW sour from the Blenders Reserve is a 20-month-old red ale that was blended with a few highlight barrels to bring nuance flavors to the front. Sharp wine and dark cherry notes greet you in the nose. A dark cherry tartness and dark malts on the palate finish with a pronounced dark fruit richness and hints of spice on the tongue.
My review:
A - Murky Red-Brown Earth color with decent carbonation and a head that fades rather quick.
S - For lack of a better way to describe it, I'm going to say the nose is a gritty red wine. Definitely get the dark wine characteristics with a bit of cherry funk background that is inticing.
T - Red wine, cabernet, and port are the flavors I'm getting. A gorgeous, robust beer with a lot going on and a great balance. A slight oak background and a malty punch blended in there too.
M - Heavier than a typical sour and not quite as bright or crisp of a finish as some, but it has a great finish and a quality that makes this one an enjoyable sipper. That said, after each drink I'm anxious to have my next sip.
O - I'm finding myself and a fan of this one. It gets better with each drink and I'm very glad I had it. I'm not not sure if they'll make this a more common offering as opposed to a brewery only live barrel offering, but it's quite good.

In a season dominated by the eclecticism and luxe bohemianism that is the house signature, Missoni evoked both ladylike Camelot eleganceLurex-knit sheath dresses complete with velvet clutch purses and upswept hairdosand the hippie looks that first put the label on the map in the early seventies: swirling Art Nouveau prints, knit capes, fringing, and chiffon palazzo pajamas. Capes were a strong theme, from the short zigzag-knit number in Neapolitan ice cream colors that opened the show (over short shorts) through the chiffon minidress with a floor-length fringed cape in back. Giant silk cabbage roses worn on chokers at the neck or pinned to the hip were a pretty touch (and ready for a Sarah Moon close-up), although knee socks worn with the high-heeled court shoes were definitely not.
Missoni's stylish furs cleverly referenced the house's trademark knits, as horizontally banded mink or fox coats were subtly graduated from collar to hem in tones from black to white or arctic to red, respectively. Organic, Lava Lamp appliqué details recalled the wacky spage-age looks of Pierre Cardin, currently the subject of a retrospective at Carla Sozzani's Corso Como gallery. With true pan-generational appeal, the show included pieces suitable for Rosita Missoni, as well as looks that were perfect for her granddaughter, It girl Margherita.
Dramatic evening gowns in colored Lurex or vibrant kaleidoscope prints, suspended from jeweled halters, suggested Sharon Stone�s va-va-voom wardrobe in Casino, while a fringed knit dress looked as though the model had wrapped herself in a gypsy shawla dramatic gesture worthy of the Belle Époque dancer Loie Fuller, actress Eleonora Duse, or society beauty Consuelo Vanderbilt, all of whom Missoni cited as influences.

Wait? What? The first one I linked was from last year? But it sounded so current, so fresh? Or is it that nothing about Detroit has changed since last year? Look at those comments. You know what I see? One of those freaky star treks where all of a sudden the federation was the bad guys and Kirk had a goatee. One of the good things about the lockout was that we, as the Avalanche's fan base, didn't have to go through the eventual decline of the team we love. Detroit's top 6 are all on the bad side of 30, as are 5 of their top 6 defensemen and one of their hall of fame (really? seriously guys?) goalies. Now as far as I'm concerned, and some of you may disagree, Datsuyk, Zetterberg and Lidstrom are some of the wings that I don't exactly lothe, they're no Yzerman, who I respect, but they aren't those other sack of craps on skates who play on the wings out there, maybe I don't hate franzen, but let's just stick with the the term, 'not-lothe' for him too. But I didn't come here to tell you that Holmstom and Bertuzzi are completely dog shit human beings, or did I? I got off topic. What I did come here to say, other than I'm really digging the JW Black I'm sipping right now, was that I really hate the Red Wings.....wait, was that the topic? Well it always is a good start. The topic is that we the fans of the Avalanche didn't have to go through the eventual decline of our franchise, it was castrated right before our eyes (did anyone think of what that would do to the children?) And had a pretty quick, meaningless death, like Ensign Ricky. Aside from the one last hurrah of 2007-08 where the gang was brought back together. But even we knew (note: I didn't really want to realize it at the time) that this was the encore, the main act was over. The Red Wings got lucky that Datsuyk and Zetterberg were on their entry level salaries when the lockout happened, I won't go anymore into this because it's been beaten to death elsewhere. So the wings managed to hold onto their 'elite' status into this new age. But time catches up to everyone but lidstrom, and this is a team that's window will crash shut soon. I won't say it's over but the fat lady is warming up, I will say it's over if Lidstrom retires, because who are they going to get to replace him? Jovanovski? Markov? Hannan? (I might die laughing if they did sign him). Asuming they sign one of the above or Lidstrom comes back, the team it self is living on borrowed time, they could win the cup next year (Note: not bloody likely with Howard in goal) and it wouldn't surprise me. But the long term prognosis or is it diagnosis? I forget. Is that this team is on the decline, not a sharp decline, but a steady one. They finished 3rd overall in the regular season, it's the same team from the year before, so maybe they finish around the same next year, maybe 4th, but the grim reaper is after those guys, the end is near. So, when the conspiracy theories keep coming, you never hear, "maybe their just older." from the fan base, it's always something from the outside keeping them down. Luckily when Peter Forsberg went, he did his aging somewhere else, Sakic was chewed up by a snow blower, Blake was very gentleman like decapating guys elsewhere. We never had to see father time take them all at once and, maybe we dodged a collective bullet. I would say it's made us, as a whole, better people for it. Author's note: I've switched from Walker to a delicious beer. as an added bonus for sticking this far, enjoy this on a quiet friday night: http://www.milehighhockey.com/2010/1/21/1264431/so-hello-nhl-we-are-the-colorado

In an Eastern Conference playoff race where four teams are separated by 2.5 games, the Pacers' dramatic loss to the Nuggets on Monday night could have ramifications all season long.
See Indy Cornrows for a full recap of the game.
With the score tied 101-101, Andre Iguodala bumped Paul George on a drive, forcing a turnover and giving Denver the ball with 0.5 seconds left. Then, as the Nuggets were inbounding the ball, George and Iguodala got tangled up near the rim, allowing Iguodala to win the game at the free-throw line.
There was contact on both plays, but referees are usually more consistent with how they're calling contact in late-game situations.
Afterwards, the Pacers coaches and players made a point of not commenting about the officiating (courtesy of the Indianapolis Star):
"It's better that I stay quiet tonight," George said.
"I have nothing to say about the calls," head coach Frank Vogel said.
Roy Hibbert repeated several times, "I have nothing to say about the last two sequences on offense and defense."
On their Twitter feeds, David West and Pacers VP Kevin Pritchard said it all:
WOW!— Kevin Pritchard (@PacersKev) January 29, 2013
Rodney Dangerfield...— David West (@D_West30) January 29, 2013
After losing three straight road games, Indiana will have to get themselves back together before a homestand with games against Chicago, Miami and Atlanta.

An independent film brings to life the story of a 13 year-old autistic boy growing up in New York. "Stand Clear of the Closing Doors" is currently screening at the Tribeca Film Festival. The character of Ricky is brought to life by a Panhandle native, Jesus Sanchez.
"It's pretty cool to be playing as this character because there were certain parts that were very fun to be acting in...It was just pretty interesting. When I saw it on the screen, I was just interested," says Sanchez.
In the movie, Ricky's sister doesn't pick him up from school, forcing the 13 year-old to walk home alone. After being rep remanded by his mother, Ricky wonders into the New York Subway System where he gets lost for days.
In real life, Sanchez says he has more similarities with his character than differences.
"Him having Autism and me having Aspergers Syndrome, which is a piece of autism, I could relate that way. Also, when I was a little kid, I used to be a lot like him," says Sanchez.
However, it's not just Sanchez who can relate to this family drama. Sanchez's mom Liana Velez says she sees her self in Ricky's mother, Mariana.
There were times before in my life as he was growing that I was kind of in denial," says Velez. "I knew he had conditions, but I was not all the way there. I was just basically meeting days end, surviving as we speak. And I do see that a lot in the Mariana character, the mom."
Velez says she hopes this movie will bring awareness to those who are not familiar with the Autism Spectrum.
"I do hope that through this movie people are able to see what families who have kids in the spectrum deal with on a day to day basis," says Velez.
For Sanchez, he denies any sort of fame, for now.
"It's my first ever movie. Not that many people know me. In school, I really just have a few friends. That's the why I say no because I'm not that important. I'm just like everybody else," says Sanchez.
Velez says the film won best film at the festival.

The many stereotypes of black women are used to justify violence and aggression against them. Because black women are mythologized as gold-digging, angry, physically strong, provocative shrews some black men assume (and this is something that having a mama, a auntie, a grandmother who raised you, or your own damn daughters doesn't change) that if/when black women are hit, they asked for (or deserved) it. At the end of the day many men empathize with other men and instead of vilifying any act of violence, physical or otherwise, against anyone, especially a woman, they attempt to justify it. They put themselves in the shoes of the aggressor, but not the victim, and see themselves as blameless and reactionary, rather than violent and misogynistic.

Wage equality for women has been a long and difficult road, dating the Roosevelt era and before. Down through the years, step by step, progress against pay discrimination has plodded along, despite the numerous obstacles. However, that struggle came to an abrupt halt last April when Republican Senators decided to shut down legislation to curb pay discrimination based on gender. But the question is: will they pay a price in November?

Lin, Fangshi, 1988- Housing prices in major Chinese cities have been soaring since 2003. Some economists believe that this represents a dangerous speculative bubble while others argue that Chinese housing price inflation is a normal consequence of supply and demand adjustments in a rapidly-developing economy. This study attempts to explain the movement of housing prices in 35 large and medium-sized Chinese cities between 2002 and 2010. Here, we review many of the causal relationships that have been explored in previous research, but we uncover some interesting evidence on the financial side of the Chinese housing market that has received little attention in previous studies. We find, for example, a reciprocal relationship between local housing prices and the revenues of local governments. A strong housing market provides rising revenues for a local government, and rising revenues, along with personal saving, seem to feed back into the financial base of the local housing market. 2013-05-15T00:00:00Z What did you say? The effect of language distance on international service trade. http://hdl.handle.net/2104/8436 What did you say? The effect of language distance on international service trade. Hulyk, Cristin K. Service trade is more heavily dependent on communication than commodity trade because its production and consumption occur simultaneously. "Linguistic distance," a measure of how closely the majority languages of two nations are related, is negatively correlated with the quality of communication between countries. I show that linguistic distance has a significant nonlinear effect on the level of service trade. For example, a change from communication between majority languages Russian and Danish to Russian and Czech, a decrease in linguistic distance, corresponds to a 17.1% increase in service exports. Additionally, the linguistic distance to English has a significant effect on service trade and points to the use of English as a vehicle language for trade. The data show that linguistic distance has a larger effect on service trade while physical distance has a larger effect on commodity trade. 2012-08-08T00:00:00Z Unintended consequences : how agricultural subsidies are fueling the drug trade. http://hdl.handle.net/2104/8266 Unintended consequences : how agricultural subsidies are fueling the drug trade. Johnson, Austin Phillip. The United States has historically subsidized its farmers directly and indirectly through a variety of different methods. In recent years, there has been evidence that OECD agricultural subsidies are leading farmers in certain nations to begin growing illegal plants that contain alkaloids for the production of narcotics. In this paper, I use narcotic seizure data from the United States Drug Enforcement Agency as a proxy for narcotics supply levels. Regression results strongly suggest a link between U.S. subsides and drug production, but no link between U.S. subsidies and methamphetamine or marijuana production. 2011-12-19T00:00:00Z Determinants of faculty salaries at elite liberal arts colleges. http://hdl.handle.net/2104/8085 Determinants of faculty salaries at elite liberal arts colleges. Konsor, Kellie J. In this paper we focus on the determinants of faculty salary levels at elite liberal arts colleges for specific years over the past decade. We address the role regional personal income per capita and endowment play in average salary determination. Other variables we consider include ranking, enrollment, tuition, discipline concentration, the professor to student ratio, the concentration of female professors among faculty and the ratio of research to instructional expenses. We find that regional personal income and endowment have a positive effect on average salaries, while ranking has a negative effect. Research has a positive effect on salaries in the later years, and tuition is not a consistent determinant of salary. Results also seem to be stable over time for most years and professor rankings.

With free agency on hold because of the league's work stoppage, the Bears will enter the draft with only two linebackers under contract. Sources don't expect them to address linebacker early in the draft, however. The needs on the offensive and defensive line will be higher priorities.
The stalwarts and perennial Pro Bowlers in the linebacker corps, MLB Brian Urlacher and Lance Briggs, are both locked in, but the two players that shared time on the strong side last season, Nick Roach and Pisa Tinoisamoa, are due to become free agents. The Bears would like to have Roach back — they issued him a restricted free-agent tender this offseason, and he'll be restricted if the league operates under the same rules that it did in the 2009 and '10 offseasons. Tinoisamoa, who has dealt with knee injuries over the past two seasons, is on the team's radar, but may be only a fall-back option at this point.
Chicago hasn't had much success drafting linebackers since Briggs was selected in '03. The Bears have not spent a pick on a linebacker before the third round since Urlacher was selected ninth overall in '00 and none of the five 'backers they've drafted since '04 were on the roster last season, but their linebacker corps is considered one of the league's best with Briggs and Urlacher in tow.

World TB Day --- March 24, 2007
World TB Day is observed on March 24 each year and commemorates the date in 1882 when Dr. Robert Koch announced the discovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium that causes tuberculosis (TB). Worldwide, TB remains one of the leading causes of death from infectious disease. An estimated 2 billion persons (i.e., one third of the world's population) are infected with M. tuberculosis. Each year, approximately 9 million persons become ill from TB; of these, nearly 2 million die from the disease. World TB Day provides an opportunity for TB programs, nongovernmental organizations, and other partners to describe problems and solutions related to the TB pandemic and to support worldwide TB-control activities. The theme for this year's observance is "TB Elimination: Now is the Time!"
After approximately 30 years of decline, the number of TB cases reported in the United States increased 20% during 1985--1992. This led to a renewed emphasis on TB control and prevention during the 1990s. However, although the 2006 TB rate is the lowest recorded in the United States since national reporting began in 1953, the average annual decline has slowed since 2000. In addition, multidrug-resistant TB remains a threat, extensively drug-resistant TB has become an emerging threat, and persons of racial/ethnic minority populations and foreign-born persons continue to account for a disproportionate number of TB cases.
CDC and its partners are committed to eliminating TB in the United States. In many states, education and awareness programs convened by local TB coalitions will take place in commemoration of World TB Day. Additional information about World TB Day and CDC TB-elimination activities is available at http://www.cdc.gov/nchstp/tb/worldtbday.

Expert advice on lumpectomy from the National Center for Policy Research for Women & Families.
« Previous | 1 of 1 | Next »
Q. "What will my breast look like after lumpectomy and radiation?"
A. Depending on the size of the cancer and the margins (tissue around the tumor that is free of cancer), and a woman's response to radiation, a breast may look almost identical after a lumpectomy, or it may look quite different. Radiation can cause a skin condition that looks like sunburn. This usually fades, but in some women it never goes away completely. It is also true that some women find that radiation makes their breast feel hard or firm. Again, this may last just a few months, or longer. However, firm or hard breasts are even more common among women who have implants after a mastectomy.

It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with Semitic languages. (Discuss)
Ge'ez was a Semitic language spoken in Ethiopia, which used an alphabet based on the alphabets of the Semitic peoples.[1] It was the language of the Kingdom of Aksum, which is located in present day Ethiopia.[1] It has been compared to Latin, by some, in that the three languages spoken in Ethiopia are derived from it, similar to how Latin developed into Italian, Spanish, French and other languages.
