|With Deron Williams back, Jazz run past Grizzlies
|Written by Admin
|Wednesday, 26 November 2008 22:40
Williams had 11 points and 15 assists in his return to the lineup, leading the Utah Jazz to a 117-100 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night.
The Jazz shot 54 percent from the field and had three players score 21 or more points.
``We had some highlights tonight. We did a good job of getting out and running and the guys did a good job of finishing for me,'' Williams said after his teammates threw down 13 dunks.
Williams had missed seven straight games. He badly sprained his ankle in the preseason, came back for two appearances on Nov. 11 and 12, then went back to the bench when he still wasn't ready.
The Jazz, known best for excellent halfcourt execution, have an added dimension with their point guard on the floor.
``We're just glad to have Deron back,'' Utah coach Jerry Sloan said. ``In the open floor, he gets guys the basketball. That's what makes him such a great player and when someone can get you the ball in the open court, you run harder.''

In Salt Lake City, The Jazz lost their previous home game against Chicago on Monday without Williams after winning 14 straight and 33 of 34 at EnergySolutions Arena before the loss.
``He's a great player, an Olympic gold medalist, a hard worker and he's the general of this team. He's been out most of the season, but with the general back, he generated energy with his teammates,'' Memphis rookie O.J. Mayo said.
Paul Millsap, starting for the injured Carlos Boozer, had 24 points and 16 rebounds. Mehmet Okur and Ronnie Brewer each added 21 points as Utah punished Memphis for its mistakes, scoring 28 points off the Grizzlies' 16 turnovers.
``They ran at us every time and every turnover was a basket for them. They pushed harder and played harder than we did,'' Memphis center Marc Gasol said.

I'd like to point out his image is ruined locally, as I first stated. NR posted a picture of this man, large picture, catchy title.
Lets say his file remained at courthouse, NR never printed it.. Isn't it safe to say a majority of people would have never known who this guy was until the story news register printed. His image wouldn't be torn in pieces over something falsely reported, he was found not guilty yet his image remains the same!
I do at the least thank you for putting it front page where the previous article was, instead of hiding it inside the paper somewhere.
How about the police put together what is called evidence. and when you find someone has committed a crime AKA Violate someones rights, Stole/damaged private property ect... Then you arrest...
Funny thing is, If the child is taken by CPS.
The state has custody and they pump him full of vaccines containing Neurotoxins, Animal DNA, and a huge array of nasty chemicals.
Low and behold, These vaccines are known to cause, autism, neurological disorders, damage DNA causing future genetic disorders for his/her children. Genetic disorders are just that, Damaged DNA from previous family members who have been passed on. We are being SOFT KILLED. and it seems more people need to wake up!
cancer has exploded, along with autism, AIDS, if you look at statistics with the increase of vaccinations , the problems rise with it.
Our body is a super healing machine, it can ward off any virus known to man when fed the right nutrients. It's better to fight a virus rather then try to prevent it with a list of chemicals most people can't even say/spell, or even heard of any of them for that matter.
While Pepsi Co uses aborted fetal tissue for "natrual flavor" in Gatorade, Fritos, Pepsi/Mtdew.
CocaCola soon to have Cancer label due to the extraction process of using formaldehyde.
Sometimes the people who claim to be helping, are doing nothing but destroying people.
some of it - is just making sure you have the right person to defend. It certainly isn't fair to be charged then not convicted and still be punished by the community rather that be loss of job etc.. At least when convicted and later proven innocent you often get some form of reimbursment. Sadly this whole process is why our system will continue to get worse.

Moral of this story: NO MONEY = GO TO JAIL.
Everybody wins! Jail beds are full of non-threatining pot smokers, idiots and people who can't afford to defend themselves and are now stuck in "the system". Cops, probation officers, DA's office and court appointed attys. all keep their jobs, It's hassle free justice!
Meanwhile in Gotham City...
Cops are busy shaking down the good citizens for their spare change in the form of tickets and the real criminals get to play.
But I do agree with most you have said. Your on the right track!
Traffic courts are not legit , They have no jury. It's only there for revenue generation as well.
This type of tyranny has been in every dictatorial system in history. If you don't know history. your doomed to repeat it.

Is the Afghanistan-Pakistan Border Becoming a Free-Fire Zone?
In recent months, Pakistan's new leaders have been insisting that U.S. forces were not conducting covert operations against al-Qaeda and Taliban militants inside Pakistan and that their government would never allow such missions. They have insisted that Pakistani regular troops and paramilitary forces could adequately deal with the insurgents and any high-value terrorist targets.
According to a variety of sources, however, U.S. military forces, though not permanently based in Pakistan, continue to conduct military attacks from Afghanistan against al-Qaeda and Taliban targets in Pakistan's loosely governed northwestern territories. ...

Although Pluto is the most well-known dwarf planet, it is only one of five dwarf planets that are officially recognized by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). The other four dwarf planets are Eris, Ceres, Haumea and Makemake. Of these five dwarf planets, only Ceres lies in the asteroid belt, the region of celestial objects containing asteroids and minor planets between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. The other four dwarf planets can be found in the Kuiper Belt, another region of celestial objects outside the orbit of Neptune.
Artist's Conception of Ceres © NASA
Ceres was discovered on January 1, 1801 by Giuseppe Piazzi, a Sicilian astronomer. It was initially classified as a planet, then later an asteroid. In 2006, it was reclassified as a dwarf planet, the only one in the asteroid belt so far. As an asteroid, it is considered the largest of its kind ever discovered. Although Ceres is only approximately 930 km across (580 mi), one-fourteenth the size of Pluto, it contains 25% of the total mass of all objects in the asteroid belt (9.47 x 1020 kg). This dwarf planet is believed to have a dense inner core, a thick mantle of water ice and a surface composed of water ice, carbonates and clays. Ceres has an orbit inclination of 10.6°and takes 4.6 years to orbit the Sun. It completes one rotation in 9h 4min.
Artist's Conception of Eris © NASA
Eris is the most massive of the five officially recognized dwarf planets. It was discovered in January 2005 by a team of astronomers at the Palomar Observatory in California led by Michael Brown. Its diameter is estimated to be 2326 km, roughly the same as Pluto's (2302 km). But its mass of 1.67 x 1022 kg is 27% greater than Pluto's mass. It completes a single orbit around the Sun in 560 years and completes one rotation in 25.9 hours. Eris is believed to have the same physical composition as Pluto: a surface of methane ice and a rocky inner core. Eris has a tiny moon called Dysnomia, which completes one orbit around it in 16 days.
Makemake is another dwarf planet in the Kuiper Belt. It was first observed by a team lead by Michael Brown at the Palomar Observatory in California in March 2005, but it was not until 2008 when the IAU officially recognized it as a dwarf planet. It completes one orbit around the Sun in 310 years, longer than Pluto's 248 years, and completes one rotation in 7.7 h. Its estimated diameter of 1,360–1,480 km makes it the third largest Kuiper Belt object after Eris and Pluto. Makemake is actually bright enough to be seen by a high-end amateur telescope. It is the second brightest Kuiper Belt object after Pluto. Little is known about the dwarf planet's physical composition but its surface is believed to be composed of frozen nitrogen, methane and ethane. It was the discovery of Eris and Makemake that led to the demotion of Pluto from planet to dwarf planet.
Haumea was first observed in March 2003 by astronomers at the Sierra Nevada Observatory in Spain and officially announced in 2005 with the temporary name 2003 EL61. It was not until September 2008 when it was designated as a dwarf planet. Haumea's ellipsoid shape makes it unique among the known dwarf planets. This slightly elongated shape is believed to be due to its extremely rapid rotation (4 h), which is believed to have been caused by a massive impact that resulted in Haumea being the largest surviving piece. Haumea completes one orbit around the Sun in 282 years. Based on its spectra and color, the dwarf planet's surface appears to be composed of crystalline water ice. Haumea has two moons: Hi'iaka and Namaka, both discovered in 2005. Hi'iaka, with a diameter of 310 km, is the brighter of the two and completes one orbit around the dwarf planet in 49 days. Namaka is smaller, one-tenth the mass of Hi'iaka, and closer to the dwarf planet. It completes one orbit around the dwarf planet in 18 days.

Three fingers on main screen and get fresh amazing wallpaper ;-)
500 Firepaper provides a live wallpaper and a daydream showing you the latest images from 500px throughout the day. You never need to look at that boring old wallpaper again, or search for hours for a nice new one. This app will show you quality photographs from all over the world - different ones each day!
The feature (popular, editor's choice, fresh, etc) and categories displayed are of course configurable, as is the refresh interval and the brightness of the images.
Please note that high resolution imagery and animation takes quite a bit of memory, so obviously this app is aimed at high-end devices.
If you are a Muzei user, 500 Firepaper also presents itself as an art source to Muzei.
What does buying Pro get me?
In cooperation with 500px, purchasing Pro will extend the maximum cache time from 24 hours to 7 days, and will also give you the option to (re-)set any image from the History Browser as your background (for up to 7 days)
Why is there no save feature ?
Not allowed per 500px API terms.
Three finger tap to go to the next image doesn't seem to work, what now ?
On some devices (like the HTC One) you need to put down your fingers one-by-one.
Why can't I pause indefinitely or show an image for longer than a day ?
Per 500px API terms the app cannot keep an image around for longer than 24 hours - unless you purchase Pro.
Why does this use so much RAM ?
High-resolution imagery takes a lot of memory in uncompressed form, and multiple buffers are required. But fear not, should your device need the memory while the wallpaper/daydream is not visible, the memory occupied by the app will automagically be released and repurposed.
Disk usage just keeps growing. Why can't I configure any limit ?
The built-in cache limit is around 256 MB - I've never seen it actually reach that limit before cleaning itself up, though.
Can the cached images be put somewhere else, like on my sd card ?
No, they cannot.
Do you want a balloon ?
No, but thanks for asking.
This application is completely dependent on the availability of 500px and its APIs. 500px can remove the APIs or revoke this application's API keys at any time. This will cause the application to stop working.
Due to 500px's API usage conditions, the application cannot cache images for longer than 24 hours (unless you buy Pro). As such, if you are not connected to Wi-Fi while either charging or having a near-full battery for more than a day, the application will run out of images to display.

I was glad
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (March 2014)
I was glad (Latin incipit, Laetatus sum) is an introit commonly used in the Anglican church, and also used as an anthem traditionally sung at the coronation of the British monarch. Its most famous setting was written in 1902 by Sir Hubert Parry, which sets only verses 1–3,6,7.
The text of the anthem consists of verses from Psalm 122, from the psalter found in the 1662 Book of Common Prayer:
- I was glad when they said unto me : We will go into the house of the Lord.
- Our feet shall stand in thy gates : O Jerusalem.
- Jerusalem is built as a city : that is at unity in itself.
- For thither the tribes go up, even the tribes of the Lord : to testify unto Israel, to give thanks unto the Name of the Lord.
- For there is the seat of judgement : even the seat of the house of David.
- O pray for the peace of Jerusalem : they shall prosper that love thee.
- Peace be within thy walls : and plenteousness within thy palaces.
- For my brethren and companions' sakes : I will wish thee prosperity.
- Yea, because of the house of the Lord our God : I will seek to do thee good.
Most of the content of the psalm is a prayer for the peace and prosperity of Jerusalem, and its use in the coronation service clearly draws a parallel between Jerusalem and the United Kingdom, as William Blake had in his poem Jerusalem (which Parry set to music later, in 1916).
Use at coronations[edit]
Settings for earlier coronations were composed by Henry Purcell and William Boyce, among others. Thomas Attwood's setting was written for the coronation of King George IV in 1831.[1] Parry's version was composed for the coronation of King Edward VII in 1902, and revised in 1911 for that of King George V, when the familiar introduction was added. This setting employs antiphonal choir effects and brass fanfares. Apart from the imperial splendour of the music, the chief innovation is the incorporation in the central section of the acclamations "Vivat Rex ... " or "Vivat Regina ... " ("Long live King/Queen ...") with which the King's or Queen's Scholars of Westminster School have traditionally greeted the entrance of the monarch since the coronation of King James II in 1685.[2] This section, which has to be rewritten every time a new monarch is crowned - because the Sovereign (and his Consort) is mentioned by name - is generally omitted when the anthem is performed on other occasions. At the coronation of a king and queen, the vivat for the queen precedes that for the king. Parry indicated in the score scope for an improvisatory fanfare between the two, should the length of the procession and timing require it: the Scholars shout their greeting as the Sovereign (and his Consort) pass through the Quire and up into the Theatre.
Use at other events[edit]
Parry's setting of "I Was Glad" was performed on 29 April 2011 at the Westminster Abbey wedding of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge (formerly Kate Middleton) as the processional music for the bride and her father and the bridal attendants.[3] It had previously been performed at the wedding of the Duke's parents, Charles, Prince of Wales and Diana, Princess of Wales in 1981.
Notable musical settings[edit]
- It was the introductory music setting for the coronation of Elizabeth II on 2 June 1953 in Westminster Abbey.
- Henry Purcell wrote a setting of it for the coronation of King James II in 1685
- William Boyce wrote a setting of it for the coronation of King George III in 1761
- Thomas Attwood wrote a setting of it for the coronation of King George IV in 1821
- It is the third Psalm of Monteverdi's Vespro della Beata Vergine 1610
- It is the third Psalm of Vivaldi's Vespro per la Vergine RV607
- It is the third Psalm of all Tridentine Vespers of Sundays and Feasts.
- Sir Hubert Parry, who set And did those feet in ancient time to music, set "I was Glad" for the coronation of King Edward VII.
This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.

Several years prior to the February 2014 General Motors ignition switch recall, car rental companies did their best to get the automaker's attention regarding a series of accidents and fatalities linked to the latter's low-cost fleet offerings.
Since arriving at TTAC, I have been continually challenged and impressed by the B&B. The knowledge, wisdom, and rather civil discourse that arrives in response to the so-called journalism I produce is awe inspiring, often. Thank you, B&B. I've also been tasked with handling the GM recall story, given my technical background and my familiarity with GM's processes at the dealer level – but today, I want to turn the floor over to you.
The House Energy & Commerce Committee recently released the documents GM submitted for investigation, which includes emails and internal reports documenting GM's response to reports of their early Chevrolet Cobalt and Saturn Ion models inadvertently shutting the car "off" while driving due to an ignition cylinder that was, simply, too easy to turn out of the "run" position; and in the case of several accidents, allowed the ignition cylinder to rotate out of the run condition before or during accidents, causing the airbags to not deploy when required.
The documents, totaling 619 pages (some with repeat info), reveal just how deep seated "old GM" was in their cost cutting ways (Driving down supplier costs to the point of sacrificing quality, admittedly poorly designed ignition cylinder, and removing internal quality control on the parts), and just how blind sided "new GM" was during their investigations. It also confirms how suspended engineers Ray DeGiorgio and Gary Altman were involved in the ignition switch response, and fuzzy problem solving. Full text and an analysis of key documents below.

General Motors released their updated chronology to the recall effecting the 2007 and earlier Chevrolet Cobalt and HHR; Pontiac G5 and Solstice; and Saturn Ion and Sky. Most of the new chronology works just to update the document with the expanded recall, but there's a key update:
During the Saturn Ion development in 2001, a preproduction model had an ignition cylinder problem that was caused by, you guessed it, "low detent plunger force," the result being that it takes a low amount of effort to knock the key out of the "run" position.
"The process employed to examine this phenomenon was not as robust as it should have been. We are deeply sorry and we are working to address this issue as quickly as we can." – Alan Batey, president of General Motors North America
Yesterday, GM expanded their ignition switch recall to include the other models mentioned in the #05-02-35-007A
Technical Information Service Bulletin ("ISB"). These include:
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is also launching a probe into why GM took so long to issue a recall. GM also released their chronology of the ignition cylinder issue and years of investigation to TTAC, which we will break down for your digestion along with the full text, after the jump.
Originally affecting 780,000 2005 – 2007 Chevrolet Cobalts and Pontiac G5s, General Motors has now added another 588,000 vehicle in a recall to fix ignition switches that can lead to the engine being shut off. So far, 31 crashes and 13 front-seat deaths have been linked to the issue.
GM is recalling 778,000 units of the 2005 through 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 over an issue where the ignition cylinder inadvertently turns out of the "Run" position, there by turning the car's main electrical systems "off". These systems include the engine, anti-lock brakes, and airbag systems. According to USA Today, GM knew of six deaths, and twenty-two other wrecks related to the ignition failure, and was aware of the defect since 2004.
The good old days of late summer 2009.
It was a great time to buy a new car. Monthly new car sales in North America had plummeted to under 10 million units. Access to financing seemed to be near impossible for a lot of consumers. Brands were orphaned. Leasing collapsed. Banks were picky. The future was uncertain and… raw materials were cheap.
It was a good time to buy new at a deep, deep discount. Has that time passed?
GM do Brasil has been having many problems. Though dearly beloved by many Latin Americans, in Brazil its image has been severely tarnished. When GM promised a slew of new products that would substitute its ageing line, many doubted it. In fact, many doubted GM had it in them anymore. Like a phoenix, GM is being reborn. The new product onslaught is in full swing. First off the bat was the Cruze. Now, Chevrolet is really starting to put on offer its mission-critical small car, the Cobalt. Will it be enough?
First a little background. After a very prosperous and promising 90s, it seemed GM had called it quits in the 00s. Extreme penny pinching eliminated but the most basic forms of engineering and development. The interiors were the most hideous on this side of a Trabant. You get the picture. (Read More…)

Hey Sajeev and Steve,I recently asked the Best and Brightest for help regarding my friend's car buying dilema, but now I'm in one of my own! I am looking to get rid of my 2006 Mazda5 GT, which has been quite problematic. I can no longer tolerate the frequent trips to the shop. Its got about 125,000km on it, and I've been getting offers ranging from $6000-8000 for it on trade. The cars I am considering are in the compact to mid-size class, but there are benefits to each car, and I can't seem to make up my mind. I am seeking a car with decent fuel economy that is fairly engaging to drive. However, I DO NOT want a harsh ride. The GTA is filled with pot holed roads, and I know the stiff ride would get tiresome. Manual transmission is preferred, but not necessary. I do carry four people occasionally, so cross out any coupes. On the Mazda I've taken quite a hit in the residual value, so this time around, I am looking to buy something that is a couple of years old. That way, someone else takes the largest depreciation hit.

Today, the Magic City is the home of 108 primped and polished classic cars from around the US.
For the 16th annual Motor Magic Classic Car Auction, this year with vehicles from as far as Minneapolis, and even Colorado.
Over a hundred of these cars, motorcycles, and trucks were submitted into the auction, which went on for about 6 hours today at the fairgrounds.
Motor Magic has attracted quite a crowd to Minot this Labor Day weekend, and the owner of Masters Auctions says that the auction is the perfect note to end the weekend on.
(George Masters, Owner of Masters Auctions) "It's fun. Fun for me, and the Dakota Cruisers Car Show. All the activities; the racing, the fairgrounds and for the City of Minot it's really good. This auction's really a good draw. There's a lot of people out here."
Besides the classic car auction, the United Way Pedal Car Auction raised 7,000 for their 2013 campaign today at Motor Magic.
Minot Police say Zofia Kristal Pepple of New Town was struck by a pickup and killed about 6:25pm Sunday
A two-year-old child was killed by a hit-and-run driver in Minot Sunday evening.
They ask if you have any information about the incident that you contact them at 852-0111.
In addition, both had recently been released from state prison.

Brief news items from around the River Wards communities.
A new neighborhood biking and walking path is meant to open up the Delaware River to residents who, for too long, couldn't truly enjoy it.
How the Port Richmond Town Watch contributes to neighborhood safety, in light of concerns about lacking police and abundant crime.
Young students from all over the city gathered, and dazzled, in Fishtown on Friday at the 11th annual Fishtown Spelling Bee.
Port Richmond resident Michael Avello is having a great time impersonating his favorite Philly boxer. He's planning to turn the opportunity into a new business venture.
With Philly seemingly headed toward another apathetic general election, there were some big names missing from last week's debate on Clearfield Street.
Philly might be known as a city of neighborhoods, but Port Richmond is a neighborhood of neighborhoods.
If nothing else, Port Richmond residents can stay on the lookout for him and what he promises will be the "best hot dogs in Philadelphia" when he starts his cart business in a few weeks, he said.

Bloomberg reports that France's antitrust regulator has ruled Orange (France Telecom)'s exclusive iPhone contract is anti-competitive and must be suspended.
While exclusive contracts arent anticompetitive by definition, the Conseil de la Concurrence ruled this three-year contract, due to its length and its scope, as well as the desirability of the iPhone [Edemphasis added], is of the type to strengthen the pre-eminent position of Orange.
Assuming France Telecom loses a planned appeal, the ruling by the French regulator will allow other French wireless carriers to sell and support Apple's iPhone. The complaint that led to the ruling was filed by Bouygues SA, France's third-largest carrier.
Previously, France Telecom said it has sold over 600K iPhones in the device's first year in that country.
Viva la $99 iPhone!
C'est la guerre! Alas the $99 iPhone definitely dead for the time being, but internal documents by those dumpster divers at Engadget details about what is coming.
At 9am on Sunday, Dec 28, Wal-Mart will begin selling Apple's standard 3G iPhones models for $197 (8GB) and $297 (16GB). And, yes, a standard AT&T two-year iPhone contract is required.
Engadget adds that an internal pilot program kicks off today at 488 Wal-Mart stores across the nation.
Editor's note: The statement by French regulators that exclusivity is illegal in part because of the highly desirable nature of the iPhone is classic.
"Sacre bleu! What eez zees? Non, non, non! You cannot 'ave eet all too yourselfeet eez too powerful!"
That's just way too much style (and substance) for US regulators, but here's (vainly) hoping Apple gets a clue...

Nest Provides A Real-Time Layer By Default For API Consumers
Posted on 06-27-2014
I had several folks point me to the Nest API release the other day. I enjoy this, because I'm not always the fastest in finding news—eventually I'll find it, but I rely on my human API monitoring network, just as much as my algorithmic API monitoring network, to bring stories to my attention. I'm still reviewing the Nest API release, but one thing that stood out to me, was how real-time is baked into the API by default, and specifically using Firebase.
The Nest API documentation states:
Use the official Firebase client libraries (Web, iOS, Java, and Node), which allow you to synchronize your data with a subscription-based, near-real time platform. As you develop your client, you'll find these resources useful: Firebase Data Structure, Reading and Writing data.
Nest also provides options, if you can't use the Firebase library (not sure why this would be):
In cases where the platform you're developing your integration on has no available Firebase library, you may want to use REST or REST Streaming instead.
I track on real-time technology like Firebase as part of my API trends research, and much like other trends like aggregation and reciprocity, I think we'll start seeing these trending layers baked into API operations by default. I've seen APIs reference default API reciprocity, using platforms like Zapier, and I think we'll see more APIs adopt real-time frameworks by default in the future.
API providers need to focus on what they do best, providing API access to their valuable data, content and other programmatic resources. It is wise for providers to leverage existing providers to deliver real-time, aggregation, reciprocity, voice, and other complimentary API layers. I will continue to keep my eye out for how APIs are providing a much fuller stack of resources for developers, using their own resources, while also augmenting with other leading technology platforms.

A few days ago some were feeling a little optimistic about this team. They'd just taken a couple series against two of the best teams in the league to this point. The games were at Wrigley so winning 4 of 6 is much less impressive than it sounds. The Cubs probably had 50% odds of winning each game. Had they been on the road it was probably closer to 40%. As a result we'd have expected the Cubs to win at least 3 of the 6.
Still, winning creates optimism, but the season is long and even bad teams win games in bunches. The 2000 Cubs finished the season 65-97. They were horrible. They won 6 in a row from July 21st to July 27th. They won 17 of 22 that season from July 8th to August 2nd.
The 1999 Cubs won 5 in a row a couple different times early in the season. They were actually 9 games over .500 on June 8th. They finished the season with 67 wins.
The 2002 Cubs also won 67 games, but won 5 in a row and 12 of 19 at one point. The 2002 Cubs won 9 of the first 14 games they played on their way to a 66 win season. Finally, last year's team was a bit better than any of the others. They won 71 games. They also won 7 in a row at one point. They also won 12 of 15. Even the 56-win Astros last year won 7 of 11.
At some point this season the Cubs will win 5, 6 or maybe even 7 or more games in a row. They'll win 12 of 15 or 17 of 24. During that stretch they'll look like a really good baseball team. You probably don't win that many games over that long a stretch by looking bad. They'll look like a team who is set to contend in the near future if they add a piece here or there. They'll even beat some really good teams who will look as bad as the Cubs typically do over a week or two.
It's a long season. Every team will look good at times. Each team in baseball will have moments throughout the season in which they look like they're ready to contend in the near future.
I don't mean to shit on anybody's optimism here, but it's inevitable even a bad team like the Cubs will have stretches in which they don't look so bad. This is still a team that will scratch and claw it's way to 70 wins or so.

Huh. I guess no one can accuse him of being anything less than amicable to his baby mama, because Bachelor Juan Pablo Galavis and his ex, Carla Rodriguez, seem to have a pretty close relationship. Like to the point where they kind of appear to be nothing short of best buds.
Or at least that's what we can probably assume, based on this photo of Juan Pablo and Carla sitting together reading an US Weekly containing an article all about what a shitty dude he supposedly is.
Yep. Apparently Juan Pablo's exes are quick to throw him under the bus, deeming him a "playboy" and saying he will "never settle for one woman."
But it looks like Carla doesn't have a problem with him.
Some years ago, I found myself once again single and trying to find guys to date. Ugh, just put a hot poker in my eye. I'm sure there are plenty of good men out there, but absolutely none of them were on the dating site I selected to start my dating journey. Well, except one guy. Let's call him Jim. Jim was cute, witty, gainfully employed, and had 2-year-old daughter. He was also divorced. Which would explain why he was on a dating site. But there was just one problem -- he was still very amicable pals with his ex-wife.
Divorce is a life-changer, for sure. The death of a marriage means that nothing will ever be the same again. Committing your life to someone, and then having that bond broken -- for whatever reason -- is going to change you.
The thing about grief is that you don't know how you're going to come out the other side. When you're taking things minute by minute, and then hour by hour, and day by day, eventually you look up and realize that a whole heck of a lot of things have happened that you didn't see coming.
This year I ate Christmas dinner seated between my ex-husband and my boyfriend. If that sounds awkward, well... it kind of was. But it was my idea. This is the reality for my family: We're not going to have a typical, traditional Christmas dinner because we're not a typical, traditional family. But maybe that's all right -- and maybe my kind of family is more common than I think.
I did it you guys. I survived my very first post-separation Christmas, and I only cried in front of people twice! Hey, that's pretty good. And in all fairness, one of those times was because nobody saved me any caramelized onion and feta tartlets. I take my food pretty seriously.
Everyone says the first one is the roughest. Who this Everyone is, I have no idea, but Everyone always thinks they're right. They might be. I don't know yet, this is my first Christmas since 2000 without my soon-to-be-ex-husband by my side.
Gary Shirley has come out to explain the rant about his now ex-girlfriend that mysteriously disappeared from the Teen Mom star's Twitter account almost as quickly as it appeared. His reason for going off on his cheating ex is sure to break your heart. Gary isn't mad at Kristina for breaking his heart ... he's mad at her for breaking his daughter's heart!
His daughter, of course, is Leah Shirley. With ex-girlfriend Amber Portwood in prison up until a month ago, Gary has been a single father to the 5-year-old for quite some time. But he hasn't been a monk during that time.
It's always rough on kids when their parents aren't together, but you do your best to make things work and help the kids understand that both parents still love them very much. Believe me, this task is much easier in theory than practice.
So hat's off to Teen Mom 2's Kailyn Lowry, who recently uploaded a video to Instagram to show that her son Isaac still has regular contact with his biological dad Jo Rivera.
What to do with the engagement ring and wedding band after a breakup?! Not an easy decision. One man who never made it to the altar with his lady love is now lovingly referring to her as "Satan herself." So he's doing what any man in his right mind would do and is selling the ring. On Craigslist. For way less than he paid.
The only twist is his ad to sell the 1.5-carat diamond sparkler states how the ring may be cursed and he goes on to explain why in incredible but heartbreakingly hilarious detail.
I have a confession to make: I'm still in love with my ex-boyfriend. Which wouldn't be so bad if we hadn't been broken up for several years now, and if there was absolutely no chance in hell I would ever get back together with him. You see, we honestly can't stand each other. When we were dating, we didn't go a week without a huge blow-up. We don't understand each other; we don't have the same idea about what a relationship is; and I suspect, deep down, we didn't even like each other very much. That didn't stop us, however, from falling madly in love.
Holy crap, there are a lot of people on the Internet hating on me recently. In just the past couple of weeks, the comments on my blog have exploded, douche canoes on message boards have had multiple conversations about me, and someone even devoted a whole series of blog posts to talk about how evil I am because I filed for divorce.
I've been called a hypocrite, a traitor, a slut, a whore, the c-word. I've been accused of destroying my children's lives, smashing my ex-husband's balls, and basically ripping apart the fabric of society. Apparently I'm an adulterer caught in the snare of the devil, and even though I'm a hideous evil man-hating beast, I somehow manage to hop from bed to bed of any man that will have me. Seriously you guys -- they said I was ugly. What the heck do my looks have to do with anything?

I had a similar experience in a Brazilian favela. The kid would always ask me what time it was so that he could try and take my watch. He wasn't very bashful about it either. He eventually ended up with it. I gave it to him because his thug buddies were pounding my buddy. I told him to take my watch and his gang and get lost. It was pretty scary, but I still can't get over all the fuss for a stupid Timex!

I spent a lot of time in Senegal and Liberia. We took the knock-off watches we got in Naples- about a dozen of them for one American Zippo lighter, and traded them for cool carvings and beads and what not. Just souvenirs. All worth about the same, really. I'm guessing your watch was worth a little bit more though, and this young man had nothing to trade.

He was not interested in trading. There was a surpriseing amount of "give me..." there and when we would ask why we should just give someone something because they asked, we would occasionally be told one of two things:

Becoming a stock car racer requires commitment and hard work, but at MSR Houston, all you have to do to ride in a stock car is open its door. Alternatively, visitors can hop aboard 9 HP Honda go-karts, rounding the 0.7-mile karting track's 17 turns and zooming down its quarter-mile straightaway at top speeds of more than 45 mph. These drives follow a precedent set by professionals; the 383-acre center is a sanctioned test site for the Izod Indy Car Series, Firestone Indy Lights, and Formula 2000, among many others.
Xtreme Xperience was founded by a pair of car aficionados who understand the thrill of commanding a $253,000 piece of four-wheeled poetry in motion, like the Lamborghini LP560. They know that exaggerating the pronunciation of Porsche is only half as fun as horsewhipping its 530 horsepower from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 3.3 seconds. They realize that the Ferrari F430's supercharged Launch Control console button is too irresistible not to push coming out of every red light and into every dark, quiet, and hopefully vacant train tunnel. The smooth, spaceship-esque aluminum body shell of the Audi R8 makes them appreciate how discreet something like 782 rivets, 382 self-tapping screws, and more than 300 feet of welding can be. The people at Xtreme Xperience love supercars, and they love matchmaking them to other car enthusiasts who live to cruise across the great, oil-stained arteries of the American interstate-highway system.

Q&A with Victoria Treadway, Owner of The Music Connection of Pearland
Tell us about your business.
We are a family-owned-and-operated music studio. We teach all styles of music, from jazz and blues to pop and classical. We teach individual lessons and group classes, primarily in piano, for ages 2 to adult. Piano is the most sought-after instrument we offer, [but] we also teach drums and guitar.
What makes your business stand out?
[First of all,] we are the only music studio in Pearland to offer group classes. They are more affordable, more fun because of the setting, and create a more independent student. We have our own curriculum, so we are able to give songs that are more well known and fun. [Second of all,] we are the only music studio in Pearland to offer Mommy and Me and preschool piano classes. Our program focuses on the piano and teaches theory through characters and different activities. Once the students have completed the different levels, they'll know the notes on the keyboard [and be able to] identify the dynamics of music, find the rhythm and recognize note values, and play beginner songs.
What inspired you to run this business?
This business has been in the family for 15 years. Once I [the daughter] got involved when I was going through college, I saw the potential to move from a business operating from home to a music studio. The reason we started the classes was for the student that wasn't self-motivated. Some students need a more fun environment than one-on-one lessons. I also strongly believe in starting your children in music lessons as early as you can to help children with their fine-motor skills, developing perfect pitch, and loads of other skills.
What is your most popular offering?
Group piano classes—once a week for 45 minutes—[and] individual piano [lessons, held] once a week for 30 minutes. [We also offer] preschool piano classes [and] Mommy and Me piano classes, [both held] once a week for 35 minutes.
What is the best reaction you've ever gotten from a customer?
One of our students [was] in shock over the amazing progress her son had made over the course of a year. He started as a beginner, and the next year he was playing songs like Solfeggietto and Moonlight Sonata. She recommended so many students to us. We called her our biggest fan.
What's your favorite part about your job?
Watching the students' progress and teaching them different styles of music. It's rewarding to see our students develop a love for music.
Anything else you want to add that we didn't cover?
We care about each and every student that comes through our door. We never give up on someone who takes a little longer than average to develop their musical skills.
If you saw someone running down the street with a sledgehammer, you would most likely think that person was crazy, but that's just another day in the life of the coaches at CrossFit Armada. The coaches—all of whom are certified across multiple CrossFit modalities—believe that the road to physical fitness is not paved with repetitive sessions on the treadmill. Each day welcomes a new workout of the day, which may incorporate one of more elements of gymnastics, weight training, and cardiovascular conditioning using equipment such as free weights, climbing ropes, and gymnastics rings. One day, students might do pushups and swing kettlebells within the 10,000-square-foot gym, and the next, they might venture outside to run or pound massive tires with a sledgehammer until they agree to personally train them. The workouts are intense, but scalable for all levels of athletes from professional athletes to absolute beginners.
In addition to traditional CrossFit classes, the coaching team also leads specialty courses such as CrossFit Endurance and CrossFit Olympic Lifting, as well as personal-training sessions.

Found May 22, 2013 on Pro Football Zone:
PLAYERS: Ramses Barden, Tom Coughlin
TEAMS: New York Giants
TEAMS: New York Giants
According to Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News, free agent wide receiver Ramses Barden might re-sign with the Giants after testing the open market. Barden, the Giants' third-round pick in 2009, is heading back to the New York area and will take a physical with team doctors on Thursday, the Daily News has learned. And if all goes well for the unrestricted free agent, according to an NFL source, he could sign a one-year deal to return before the end of the day. It is not believed that Barden's possible return has anything to do with worries about the absence of Cruz or Nicks. The Giants seem to expect Cruz will be re-signed in the coming weeks. And while Nicks' absence from the start of organized team activities (OTAs) on Wednesday was unexplained – and seemed to irk Tom Coughlin – the team seems to expect him back this week and he has been participating in the offseason program.

U.S. Unwilling to Give or Take on Ukraine
Nikolas Gvosdev, World Politics Review
The Associated Press
It was no surprise when last Sunday's emergency meeting in Paris between U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov ended inconclusively. The United States is not prepared to cut a 19th-century-style deal with Moscow to resolve the Crimea crisis, but neither has it articulated a 21st-century response that would change Russia's calculus.

Report: Tyrann Mathieu to face up to 10 drug tests per month
Originally published: May 24, 2013 - 10:58 am
The Arizona Cardinals' third round pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, Mathieu was dismissed from LSU prior to last season because of multiple drug-related issues. Since then, the 21-year-old has worked to get back on the field and stay clean.
The Cardinals took a chance by drafting him, and now it's up to Mathieu to show he has indeed turned his life around. And if he hasn't, it won't be a secret.
According to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport, Mathieu has entered into the NFL's drug-testing program and could be subject to up to 10 tests per month.
Mathieu has welcomed all additional drug testing, agreeing to be tested once per week upon being drafted by the Cardinals. Because he's in the league's program, he'll have no choice.
Mathieu's agent, Pat Lawlor, told Rapoport that "both sides understood the issues we were dealing with."
Sounds like everyone is on the same page, and that's a good thing. The Cardinals took a chance on Mathieu because of his undeniable talent, but the reason he fell to the third round is because of his undeniable past.
And the hope, for all parties involved, is that a bright future awaits.

Sun 27 Jun 2010 Novel radiotracer shines new light on the brains of Alzheimer disease patients. New trial tool could aid in diagnosing Alzheimer's, tracking disease progression and developing therapeutics. A novel radioactive compound readily and safely distinguished the brains of Alzheimer's disease patients from healthy volunteers on brain scans and opens the doors to making such imaging available beyond facilities that can manufacture their own radioactive compounds. The results could lead to better ways to distinguish Alzheimer's from other types of dementia, track disease progression and develop new therapeutics to fight the memory-ravaging disease. Previously, the only way to peer into the brains of Alzheimer's patients was through autopsy or the use of another radiotracer, known as Pittsburgh compound or PIB. PIB is drawn to a protein known as beta-amyloid, which accumulates abnormally in the brains of Alzheimer's patients. However, PIB has a half-life of only 20 minutes, meaning that half of the substance degenerates every 20 minutes after it is made. Consequently, PIB's use is possible only at a few hospitals or academic medical centers with facilities to manufacture it since this compound degenerates so rapidly.

Mon 21 Jun 2010 Enhancing the power of batteries. MIT team finds that using carbon nanotubes in a lithium battery can dramatically improve its energy capacity. They found that using carbon nanotubes for one of the battery's electrodes produced a significant increase — up to tenfold — in the amount of power it could deliver from a given weight of material, compared to a conventional lithium-ion battery. Such electrodes might find applications in small portable devices, and with further research might also lead to improved batteries for larger, more power-hungry applications. more

Wed 2 Jun 2010 PET and SPECT Biomedical Imaging Techniques Combined into VECT. TU Delft and Molecular Imaging Labs (MI Labs) have succeeded in combining two forms of medical imaging techniques into one piece of equipment. These techniques are particularly useful for cancer research. The two techniques are known as microPET and microSPECT. SPECT and PET can be performed simultaneously and they give a higher resolution than traditional microSPECT and microPET. The new device is known as the VECTor (Versatile Emission Computed Tomography) and is designed for use in fundamental research into the functioning of cells and organs. It can show functional details smaller than half a millimetre.more

Thu 27 May 2010 Organic Solids in Soil May Speed Up Bacterial Breathing. Oxygen-free, or anaerobic, environments contain microbes sometimes described as "mineral-breathing" because they use iron oxides and other minerals in the same way we use oxygen. This bacterial respiration may be accelerated by solid organic compounds in the soil. A new research shows that iron oxide-breathing bacteria can do the same with insoluble organic substances, formed when plants and other organic materials biodegrade in soils and sediments. During respiration, the bacteria release electrons that interact with nearby substances, a process called reduction. Reduction of large organic molecules -- called humics and familiar to gardeners as part of planting soil -- represents a new pathway for electrical charges to move around in the environment, with implications for understanding soil chemistry and environmental contamination.more

Thu 13 May 2010 Stem Cells: In Search of a Master Controller. With thousands of scientists across the globe searching for ways to use adult stem cells to fight disease, there's a growing emphasis on finding the "master regulators" that guide the differentiation of stem cells. New research from Rice University and the University of Cambridge suggests that a closely connected trio of regulatory proteins fulfills that role in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), the self-renewing cells the body uses to make new blood cells. Bioengineers Oleg Igoshin and Jatin Narula created a computer model that accurately describes the observed behavior of the three regulatory proteins that are collectively known as the "Scl-Gata2-Fli1 triad." more

Wed 12 May 2010 New project aims for fusion ignition.
MIT-led Ignitor reactor could be the world's first to reach major milestone, perhaps paving the way for eventual power production. Russia and Italy have entered into an agreement to build a new fusion reactor outside Moscow that could become the first such reactor to achieve ignition, the point where a fusion reaction becomes self-sustaining instead of requiring a constant input of energy. The design for the reactor, called Ignitor, originated with MIT physics professor Bruno Coppi, who will be the project's principal investigator. The key ingredient in all fusion experiments is plasma, a kind of hot gas made up of charged particles such as atomic nuclei and electrons. In fusion reactors, atomic nuclei — usually of isotopes of hydrogen called deuterium and tritium — are forced together through a combination of heat and pressure to overcome their natural electrostatic repulsion. When the nuclei join together, or fuse, they release prodigious amounts of energy. more

10 Apr 2010 Carbon based Solar Cells devised. Large sheets of Carbon available for light collection have been devised using an unusual solution by IU-Bloomington -- attach what amounts to a 3-D bramble patch to each side of the carbon sheet. Using that method, scientists were able to dissolve sheets containing as many as 168 carbon atoms. Carbon is cheap and abundant, and in the form of graphene, capable of absorbing a wide range of light frequencies. Graphene is essentially the same stuff as graphite (pencil lead), except graphene is a single sheet of carbon, one atom thick. Graphene shows promise as an effective, cheap-to-produce, and less toxic alternative to other materials currently used in solar cells, namely, Silicon and compounds containing Ruthenium.more

A team of nanotechnology researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and Columbia University has used friction force microscopy to determine the nanoscale frictional characteristics of four atomically-thin materials, discovering a universal characteristic for these very different materials. Friction across these thin sheets increases as the number of atomic layers decreases, all the way down to one layer of atoms. This friction increase was surprising as there previously was no theory to predict this behavior.more

Ronde Barber spoke with local reports after practice Wednesday and talked about his future with the Buccaneers, things that have went wrong this season and his feelings on Raheem Morris.
Despite a disappointing 4-11 season and not knowing for certain whether or not he will be back next year, Buccaneer cornerback Ronde Barber took time out to speak with the local media about his career as well as his head coach Raheem Morris's future.
When Barber was asked if he ever thought that he would be in the league for fifteen years he was light-hearted with the media in his response.
"I know a lot of people in your business certainly didn't," Barber. "No, I didn't honestly. I wouldn't have expected it even five years ago, but I have been able to maintain and been able to continue to perform at a level that everybody thinks is satisfactory. It has been good. It has been a good ride. Glad to be where I am at to be honest with you."
The veteran player is unsure of whether or not he will be playing the game he loves next year. He has a decision to make that will not be an easy one. "I don't know about next year. Next year will be next year. Maybe sit on my couch who knows? Maybe out here back playing with these young kids again we will see.
"At this point, yes I feel like I can play another year, but I will see what January has to hold before I make any of those decisions."
It is no secret that Ronde Barber is a fan of head coach Raheem Morris. Barber was asked if he thought that people were reading too much into his future being decided upon Morris' future. According to him, that is somewhat true.
"That is a good question. I would be lying if I didn't say that is somewhat true. We will see. We will see. Ideally I would love to be back and play with Rah (Raheem Morris) and play with Jimmy (Lake) and play with Joe Baker—play with all those guys. They are great coaches. They are fun to be around. They understand me and I understand them. So I imagine that would have something to do with it."
