Australia – Job adverts fall for sixth consecutive month
There are signs of further weakness in Australia's labour market, as the number of jobs advertised fell for the sixth month in a row. The latest ANZ job advertisements survey shows the number of positions advertised online and in newspapers fell by -2% in August. The number of job ads is now just +5% above the low point of the global financial crisis.
Ivan Colhoun, chief economist at ANZ, commented: "Trends in job advertising continue to point to a softening in the labour market. Job ads and other economic indicators suggest little evidence of a pick-up in business confidence and hiring intentions, consistent with the unemployment rate continuing to trend modestly higher in the near term. However, it is worth noting that while job ads have continued to fall, the pace of monthly decline appears to have moderated a little in recent months."
"There are a number of factors that are likely to see overall business conditions remain at relatively subdued levels, including the forecast contraction in mining investment and the relatively high exchange rate. However, there are now signs of improvement in some areas of the economy. Activity in the housing market has continued to improve. Further depreciation in the Australian dollar, which has fallen around -15% since mid-April should help to rebalance the economy away from mining investment-led growth toward a broader growth base," he added.
The average number of jobs advertised per week in Australia during 2012-13 was 141,111, down from 166,698 during 2011-12. Year-on-year the number of job adverts fell from a seasonally adjusted average of 154,569 in August 2012 to an average of 125,992 in August 2013.
Of Australia's eight territories and states, only two reported positive growth in the number of jobs advertised in August compared with July 2013; New South Wales (+1.7%) and Tasmania (+5.7%). The biggest fall month-on-month was in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) down -16.2%, followed by Queensland with a -9.4% drop in jobs advertised.
An Australian Bureau of Statistics report due to be released on Thursday is expected by ANZ to announce that around 25,000 new jobs were created in August, a rebound following some recent weakness in employment. The unemployment rate is expected to have remained unchanged at 5.7%.

Great options so far in this app. Glad I found it. Makes sifting through duplicates much nicer. I am having an issue getting it to recognize photoshop and adobe illustrator files though. Can it sort these files?
I am a fan of Clusters for a long time. I tend to use up all the available space on my drives and this extends my general usability. But I have noticed false reads of the space on my main drive. Once I restart it goes back to normal but I am curious is this is an issue with Clusters or some other drive issue.
So far so good. I've tried little snapper and several other apps that claim to do this and this is by far the best of them. It creates PSDs from web pages just like it claims. It labels the layers the way it is tagged on the web page. Its pretty fast and works on local sites as well which is great for collaborating with others on web design projects. Best app of its kind, plus its really cheap compared to the next leading app. Not really feature rich but does what it does well.
I have only downloaded the trial but I was weary of the reviews stating that there are security holes in this! I want to be able to host my website from my desktop is this an alternative to having a virtual host from a hosting service? Or is this more like a testing server like MAMP or XAMPP?
This app was very helpful. I edited some audio files that I used in keynote and it was a life saver, but it may have clipped some of the audio short. I converted some mp3 files to AIFF and then back so Levelator could do its thing, so I am not certain that it was Levelator that was the culprit, but I am leaning more to it. Great piece of software otherwise though.
I recently found this little plugin, and I love it. I think its on of the few additions I would love to have in the Astute graphics line of features. I use illustrator often and the ability to mirror my image and small little time savers is fantastic. I am using Illustrator cs5.1 and this still works. No issues at all, but it is listed as compatible with CS3, and 4 only, so I will update if I have future issues, but so far so good.

Rewind: Remember When PBS Praised Qadhafi As An Islamic Hero?
Now that the American consensus holds that Moammar Qadhafi was a vile dictator who few will mourn, it might be time to recall that taxpayer-funded PBS actually aired a documentary series by an Islamic professor that honored Qadhafi as "brilliant." Brent Bozell, then chairing the National Conservative Foundation, led the charge against a series called The Africans that aired in the fall of 1986.
Check out what we ranked as Reason #2 in our Special Report Counting the Reasons to Defund: The 20 Most Memorable Leftist Excesses of Public Broadcasting:
In October 1986, PBS began airing a nine-part series called The Africans, co-produced by the BBC and Washington PBS station WETA. Lynne Cheney, then the chair of the National Endowment for the Humanities, got the NEH logo removed from the series in protest of how the producer and narrator, Ali Mazrui, "extols the virtues of Moammar Qaddafi."
In the show, Mazrui boasted: "Two supreme ideals seem to have inspired Qaddafi's adventures: to turn Africans and Arabs into masters of their own destiny, and to transform them into major actors on the world stage. Qaddafi is another example of how it is not enough just to stop being pawns in the games of the powerful. We must become global players in our own right." Asked by reporters if Qaddafi is a terrorist, Mazrui replied, "The man is brilliant, but inclined to be unpredictable in his loyalties."
Suzanne Weil, then the senior vice president for programming at PBS, told The Washington Post: "I find him absolutely riveting. He is Islamic, and that's the view he has. He has not a lot of wonderful things to say about the West, but we have wonderful respect for our audiences, and we expect they can see other points of view and compare." But there were no other points of view in the series.
Asked about the one-sided presentation, then-WETA president Ward Chamberlain Jr. conceded: "The Western world doesn't come out very well in the series," but "the Western world shouldn't come out too well regarding its role in Africa."
In an article in The New Republic, Charles Krauthammer found the show looked "through a prism of vulgar Marxism, anachronistic economics, and anti-Western resentment." Mazrui even announced in the series that Karl Marx "was the last of the great Jewish prophets."
NCF's newsletter Newswatch also reported Mazrui commended Qadhafi for "restoring the credentials of Islam as a global force" by using oil revenues "for the greater glory of Africa as well as Islam." Mazrui excused Qadhafi's support for terrorism: He "supported armed resistance against what he regarded as Western imperialism, but in so doing, he brought upon himself the revenge of the West."

things about Gadhafi back in the 80's wouldn't it also be nice to tell your readers that "The Ben Bernanke" was also very, very nice to Gadhafi when Bernanke approved a "discount window" loan to a bank in Tripoli? According to Bloomberg News a bank which Gadhafi partly owned (Arab Banking Corp), received 35 BILLION US dollars during the emergency banking bailout in 08!
Well, if you overlooked that bit of ugly US history here is that story >>>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFNQRT6TSxw

Arab Banking Corp., then 29 percent-owned by the Libyan central bank, used its New York branch to get at least 73 loans from the Fed in the 18 months after Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. collapsed. The largest single loan amount outstanding was $1.2 billion in July 2009, according to the Fed documents.
29% owned. And yeah, banks never loan each other money ever. First time ever boys and girls. First time ever.

Submitted by lrgon on Fri, 10/21/2011 - 1:13pm.
was mistaken in bringing this to the attention of their viewers? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFNQRT6TSxw
"Foreign banks were the majority recepients of money from the discount window."
Alan Greenspan admits that the Fed is above the law. You probably will find nothing wrong with the Fed being above reproach.
Now since you mention Ron Paul it may interest you to know that he was able to persuade a majority of members of Congress to pass his audit the Fed bill to look into the lending practices of the Fed. (he got 100% of the GOP members of Congress to co-sponsor his audit the Fed bill and 1/3 of the Dems).
The Fed has friends in high places and they gave Ron Paul's bill the royal treatment and barred congress from looking too deeply into the affairs of the central bankers. Even so we are finding out that the FederalReserve cares more about foreign banks having money in their vaults than worrying about things here at home. You no doubt think that's an ok thing for the Fed to do that.

to send him aid to carry on the war on terror? But that was back in 2009 ( a very forgettable year) and Joe Liberman was there in Tripoli with Senator "let keep the war going for a hundred years" McCain saying that Muammar Gaddafi was a fine old chap deserving of more millions of dollars from Uncle Sucker.

Upon the his return to Washington, there were no follow-up discussions and no action taken by Senator McCain or his staff to provide the Qaddafi regime with C-130s or any other military assistance," said Rogers.

What was McCain doing in Libya in 09?
Submitted by lrgon on Fri, 10/21/2011 - 1:49pm.
A U.S. delegation visited Libya in 2009 concluded that the Gadhafi regime was a good U.S. ally in the "War on Terror."
POLITICO >>> http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0811/62114.html
"[U.S. Senator Joe] Lieberman called Libya an important ally in the war on terrorism," one cable stated, describing a meeting between the U.S. delegation and the Libyan regime. Senator John McCain, meanwhile, "assured [Gadhafi's son] Muatassim that the United States wanted to provide Libya with the equipment it needs for its security."
You, are in a state of denial if you think that McCain is a friend of liberty. The Libyan "rebels" have al-Qaeda influencing that bunch of rats. McCain is so myopic that he will probably push for aid to the new regime even though al-Qaeda has its fingerprints all over that terror outfit!
The former prisoner turned American ally, known as Abu Sufian Ibrahim Ahmed Hamuda bin Qumu, was captured in Pakistan after the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan. He wound up in a cell in GITMO but was released. U.S. analysts determined in 2005 that he was a "former member of the[al Qaeda-linked Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG). Here we have an al- Qaeda member and a member of the North African Extremist Network.
American officials including then-CIA boss George Tenet have warned that organizations such as LIFG represent "one of the most immediate threats" to U.S. security. .

HATTIESBURG, Miss. - The Hattiesburg City Council released the following statement about the special election granted by Judge William Coleman on Thursday:
"Judge Coleman has ordered a special election to determine who will serve as Mayor of Hattiesburg. The City Council appreciates and certainly will abide by this decision.
The prospect of a special election raises the issue of how best to conduct an election that will settle the matter of who will lead the City for the next four years and also guarantee our citizens that their votes will be collected and counted properly and that the election process is not tainted. It is our responsibility to offer that guarantee to the people of Hattiesburg.
For that reason, the City Council will contact the offices of the Governor and the Secretary of State today to request formally that measures be taken to ensure that this special election be carried out in a spirit of transparency, accuracy and integrity. In our opinion, the only way to regain the trust of City of Hattiesburg voters is to conduct the special election without the input or assistance of any City of Hattiesburg personnel or of any members of the most recent Election Commission; we believe also that any poll workers hired to help with this special election must undergo training far more rigorous than what has been offered to City of Hattiesburg poll workers in the past. In addition, we consider it appropriate to request that on the day of the special election, the Secretary of State assign monitors to each precinct to observe the voting and to ensure that all election processes are conducted according to the law.
The Council realizes that hiring outside assistance and training poll workers will add to the already high cost of an additional election. We have weighed the options and fear that the people of Hattiesburg ultimately will pay a far higher price if we do not insist on an election process that operates openly, efficiently and honestly."
City Councilwoman Debbie Delgado said that the statement that was released did not represent the sentiments of the council as a whole. This is the statement she released:
"Judge Coleman issued an Order requiring a special election to decide the Mayor of Hattiesburg. Immediately following the decision, the President of the Hattiesburg City Council, made the decision to knowingly issue a statement to the Hattiesburg public as representing the position of the City Council as a whole that, in reality, did not reflect the will of each member of the Council.
This afternoon, I was presented a statement purported to be from the Council for my review. I read it on the spot and advised the Clerk of the Council that I did not agree with the statement. I advised that if the statement went out as it existed that I would issue my own statement. She advised the President of the Council of my position and the President ordered the statement issued as it had been pinned. No effort was made to truthfully reveal my objection to the statement.
As issued, the statement does not reflect the position of the City Council as a whole. This is not the first time that I have been troubled by statements of the Council President that are not representative of each of us. While I do acknowledge the impact of a majority opinion, it does not serve the City well to have a fragmented position represented as being unanimous. We do not always agree and it takes little effort to state the true will of elected officials who represent different parts of the City. My colleague, the Council President, does not seem willing to do that.
This instance is of particular distress because it is essentially asking the Republican Party leadership of this State to conduct and staff a special election contrary to the law providing that the Election Commission conduct elections. As an elected Democrat, that does not sit well with me. Needless to say, the Council President and a majority of the Council and most of those involved in the lawsuit on the side of my former colleague, Dave Ware, are Republicans, some being high ranking. Most of those involved on the side of the Mayor are Democrats.
Historically, elections are carried out by the Election Commission with the assistance of the City Clerk working mainly as facilitator. Imperfect as human beings are, there will be times when all does not go according to the prescriptions. Our position should be to make sure that the rules we have in place are followed. Having experienced what some may call a flawed process, I believe we are certainly now capable of conducting elections properly. We all have a heightened sense of what the errors were and I know that each candidate, the Commission and the City Clerk will make sure that all workers are armed with clear knowledge of the process and the rules.
Inviting the State of Mississippi to conduct an election in Hattiesburg does not give me, as a voter, the level of comfort I believe the voting public deserves to insure a fair election for all the reasons that required the Voting Rights Act to be passed in order for people like me to be able to serve.
As a consequence, I am asking the Justice Department to send in Federal election oversight teams to insure that no action is taken to prevent all eligible voters from participating in the election.
We are, indeed, entitled to fair elections. I just believe that the Federal government has a better record of protecting the right to vote than the State of Mississippi."

Don't get me wrong…that was a fun game. The Cavaliers played some of the best team basketball we've seen this group play as they came out and just crushed the Pistons 122-100. But as fun as it was, it unfortunately didn't matter. The Pistons quit a long time ago. They're the same team who played a 76ers team on the verge of breaking the all time losing streak record. And the Pistons got killed by that Sixers team. So it wasn't surprising that the Cavs were able to take care of business.
The fact is, the playoffs are gone, the Pistons are a team tanking as hard as can be, and so there's just not much to take away from this game. Winning a game like this just doesn't really mean much. You would like to think that the ball movement, spacing, and team scoring were all functions of a team developing and figuring things out. Unfortunately, it could just as easily be about playing a team that just doesn't care anymore. And because I don't want this to be coming across as too negative, I'll point out that the Cavs legitimately deserve credit for caring. Or at least caring a lot more than the Pistons, anyway.
Now lets get into the numbers: [Read more...]

Patrik Elias seems fine after taking a big hit from Matt Greene, but a 2-on-1 rush almost turned out ugly for the Devils. Elias dished the puck off in front of the net on the rush, and a solid second or two after he let go of the puck Green buried him with a late hit. Elias lost his balanced and tumbled into the boards. He was slow to get up.
No penalty was called on the play and the Prudential Center crowd certainly didn't seem happy about that. Then again, Elias didn't seem to miss a shift.

GAIL to begin drilling in Bengal basin in Oct
Richa Mishra
Mr Proshanto Banerjee, Chairman and Managing Director of GAIL (India) Ltd.
New Delhi , Aug. 28
GAIL (India) Ltd, which plans to invest approximately Rs 600 crore in exploration and production (E&P) activities over the next three years, is all geared up to drill its first offshore well in October, Mr Proshanto Banerjee, Chairman and Managing Director, GAIL, said.
"GAIL-Gazprom consortium is ready to begin drilling the first well in block-26 in Bengal basin. The consortium has already invested $13 million and expects to invest another $30 million for the first well. The drilling rig for the first well has been finalised and drilling is expected to begin in the second week of October 2005. The drilling activities will continue till the end of November 2005," Mr Banerjee told Business Line.
The GAIL-Gazprom (a Russian joint stock company) consortium was awarded exploration block - 26 in the Bengal basin as part of the first bidding round under the New Exploration Licensing Policy (NELP) in 2000. GAIL has a 50 per cent equity participation in the block with Gazprom as the operator. The block is located around 100 km south-east from the Haldia port in West Bengal.
Environmental clearance has been obtained from the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoE&F) and Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH) for carrying out drilling activities. The consortium has assured the authorities that all possible measures, specified by the MoE&F, would be taken to ensure that there is no environmental damage due to drilling activities, the GAIL Chairman said.
Moreover, the consortium is gearing up to drill a second well for which another drilling rig is being finalised. The consortium has already completed geological and geophysical survey of the block, Mr Banerjee added.
Regarding the process for identifying the locations for drilling, he said, "the consortium has obtained an independent interpretation of survey data from a reputed international consultant to identify the locations for drilling. The project management team for drilling has been put in place."
Special care is being taken to handle emergencies and oil spills during drilling operations, Mr Banerjee said. "The entire operations will be coordinated from Haldia, which is the closest port from the drilling location. The Haldia port will serve as a base for supply of all materials for drilling and as a communication base to the drilling rig," he stated.
Talking about the oil struck in the Cambay basin, he said, the commercialisation of the block was expected soon. As of now, production was being planned with an estimated recoverable reserve of 3.5 million barrels, for 10 years, Mr Banerjee said. GAIL along with Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation has struck oil in the Cambay basin block.

Book or Film
Book or Film: American Psycho
Verdict - Book!
Year 7. Reading hour. My book's a Magic the Gathering novel(Mercadian Masques). I'm trying to control my excitement over some dialogue exchanged between a rogue thief and a thief rogue.
"Psst, psst!", I attempt to grab my friend's attention, he's into his book, but this is important.
"Look! One of the characters just said bastard".
It was this type of edginess that I was looking for when I picked up Bret Easton Eliss's American Psycho. I was not dissapointed. The book is a horrible histories for the 1980's, a smart publisher would have a rename something like the Traumatising traders and it would become a best-seller for 8-12 year old school kids.
What's nice is that the violence is not rushed. It is delightfully introduced through the occassional sentence drenched in homicidal intent.
The problem the film has is that is unable to compete with the banal conversations that the characters engage one another in, which helps pace the violence.
A wonderful scene in the book is where Bateman meets an old flame.
Also it lacks any scissors, crucifying, lighters or plastic tubing, which I feel ties the story together.
16 x 16 is a lot to be thinking about.

Home > Innovation > Summer 2011 > Tucson ACO
Tucson Medical Center and local physicians, with the help of Optum, are creating the nation's first Sustainable Health Community, based on the new Accountable Care Organization (ACO) model. In the ACO approach, hospitals, physicians, residents, employers and others share in the risks and rewards of making the health system work better for everyone.
The Tucson initiative will rely on the newly-organized Southern Arizona Accountable Care Organization (SAACO) to coordinate care delivery and participate in shared savings contracts. SAACO includes Tucson Medical Center and independent physicians in the community.
OptumHealth, OptumInsight and OptumRx will provide the analytics to help SAACO determine which areas are in need of change, measure progress and ensure that critical information is available to support clinicians; decisions at the point of care. Optum will also help see that vital patient health information is effectively shared among caregivers.
Participating physicians have agreed to be measured and rewarded based on achieving goals for high-quality patient care, patient satisfaction and reduced costs as well as for effective management of care for the chronically ill and efficient transitions of care for patients. SAACO will share in the savings resulting from their focus on implementing these clinical and administrative best practices.
Ultimately the goal is for improved health in the entire community. Optum is looking forward to the opportunity to apply its innovative capabilities to help create a Sustainable Health Community in Tucson. We believe that what we learn will not only improve health for residents of Tucson, but will also serve as an example for communities across the country that want to make their health systems work better for everyone.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) -- Deshaun Thomas and Aaron Craft scored nine of Ohio State's points in a decisive 11-2 run, leading the 14th-ranked Buckeyes past No. 2 Indiana 67-58 on Tuesday night.
Thomas finished with 18 points and Craft added 15 as the Buckeyes (22-7, 12-5 Big Ten) won their fourth straight.
Indiana had big plans for Senior Night.
After clinching a share of its conference league title in 11 years with losses by Michigan State and Wisconsin on Sunday, the Hoosiers (25-5, 13-4) were trying to claim their first outright Big Ten crown since 1993. They will have another chance Sunday at No. 7 Michigan.
Cody Zeller scored 17 points and Christian Watford added 12 but the Hoosiers weren't themselves.
Ohio State retook the lead midway through the second half when Indiana went more than 5 minutes without a basket, took control with the late run and never allowed the Hoosiers to get closer than six points.

Operating systems vendor The SCO Group rarely makes waves, but three weeks ago it rocked the boats of Linux users and vendors.
Although no one fell overboard and the sea is relatively calm now, many are watching SCO, concerned it could unleash a storm on users and vendors that have grown fond of the peaceful Linux waters.
On January 22, SCO made headlines with its announcement that it had hired firecracker attorney David Boies and his law firm to protect its Unix intellectual property from possible violations, particularly from Linux developers.
SCO hasn't sued anyone. Yet.
"Bringing a person like Mr. Boies on board is certainly an indication that they plan to take this very seriously," said Brian Ferguson, a partner in McDermott, Will & Emery's intellectual property department, in
Boies, a partner at Boies, Schiller & Flexner, became famous in the IT world through his work as special trial counsel for the U.S. Department of Justice in its antitrust suit against Microsoft.
Because SCO's intentions are unclear, experts can't predict whether the company will prevail or fail in court, should it get litigious. But most agree that the Linux community had better get ready for a significant increase in legal challenges similar to the ones SCO may unleash.
"This is just the beginning; there's going to be a lot more of this," said Eric S. Raymond, president of the Open Source Initiative, a non-profit corporation that promotes the concept of open source software, such as Linux.
Open source software is, in general terms, that for which source code is available to users. By contrast, most commercial software vendors, such as Microsoft, rarely, if ever, disclose the source code of their programs, and normally forbid users from freely modifying, copying or distributing them. Some call this a "proprietary" approach to software licensing, to distinguish it from the approach of the open source and free software movements, which, while disagreeing on some things, concur that software ought to be free for users to copy, share, modify and redistribute. Neither the open source movement nor the free software movement demands that software be free of charge, a common misconception.
"What surprises me is that I thought the first assault would come from Microsoft. I didn't expect it would be some of our guys who would go over to the dark side," Raymond said, referring to the fact that SCO also sells Linux software.
The legal challenges could affect how Linux is developed, marketed, licensed, sold and used, implications of concern to Linux users, developers and vendors.
So why do some predict Tux, the official Linux penguin mascot, is headed for court? Some point to Linux's rising popularity, which could draw elements wanting to profit from its success by claiming intellectual-property misuse.
"As anything becomes more popular in an industry, it's going to open itself up to and become more of a potential target to holders of intellectual property," McDermott, Will & Emery's Ferguson said. "The Linux situation is a prime example of that."


text: I have been quite upset about the vikings free agency so far this year. As Ive been reading its all made sense that they haven't been active. People are going out and paying way too much on free agents that have not shown so far that they are worth the huge contracts. But as i have checked multiple sites throughout the day, I've seen that the vikings and rick spielman have been doing something at least. NFL.COM is reporting that the vikings have scheduled a meeting with FS. Oshiomogho Atogwe. Okay ill start by saying Atogwe may not be the best safety but he is an upgrade over guys like Husain Abdullah and Tyrell Johnson. I think Abdullah will stay but i would love to see Johnson out of Minnesota, he hasn't shown he is worthy of playing safety ever since hes been drafted. Also 1500espn.com is reporting that the vikings are also meeting with Offensive lineman Geoff Schwartz. Those are a few interesting stories as well as the good news on CB. Chris Cook today. I believe that when cook is not causing troubles at strip clubs that he is definitely a defensive player that we need to be on the field on Sundays. What do you guys think of all this active news finally? anyone else agree with me that we should also be trying to get Mario Manningham or Brandon Lloyd to Minnesota?

News: Lloyd Exposes Irv Gotti's Murder Inc, "I Was Forced To Record W/ My Own Money" [Video]
Friday, Sep 4, 2009 12:05PM
R&B singer Lloyd has announced his departure from Irv Gotti's Murder Inc. and said the lack of support from his former company forced him to leave a record label known for being the home to Ja Rule and Ashanti.
Lloyd said his decision was mostly based on the current state of affairs at Murder Inc.
"I've made a lot of changes," Lloyd said in an interview. "I'm happy than I've ever been. I'm happy to say I worked out my own release and I am very optimistic about the future. Ever since I was signed, I was dedicated to trying to make good music, something that's worth hearing. And just trying to work with this rubble that I was given and build something out of it -- being the current state of the label when I first arrived. I didn't really have too much to work with...The label itself had no distribution. I was forced to record my own music with my own money with my own friends, while I was still under contract. All I had was me and my management and my friends in Atlanta...It wasn't so much person as it was business. I've learned to separate the two and sometimes in this business there is no friendship, no bottom line. The sad thing is a lot of young guys come into the game very early without knowledge or without a guidance in their lives and they fall victim to the glitz and the glam. I always try to look past that and keep my eyes on the prize which was becoming a great artist and really making music history one way or another." (Lloyd Music TV)
The Inc's Newz previously said Lloyd was still an active artist on the label.
"'It's Still Murda' dropped a couple days ago," Newz explained in an interview earlier this summer. "Fire, featuring your boy Rule. You know what it is man. [My album] Hunting Season is coming. We got Ja, Game, Jadakiss, probably get a couple of R&B n*ggas or something on there...Lloyd still there. Ashanti there, Gotti said he's gonna drop her but she's still there. Rule there, I'm there." (In The Box TV)
Last June, Irv responded to accusations made by Lloyd about his role on The Inc.
"He is still signed with Murder Inc. and I will make a decision shortly on what I am gonna do with him," Gotti wrote in a statement. "His last record didn't sell well at all. And, once again, he had his CREATIVE freedom to do whatever he wanted to do. But for some reason the people did not respond to the album or to him. But I will decide what I wanna do! As always when it comes to me, it's Murder For Life! And anyone who doesn't wanna be apart of that, I will take into consideration." (Statement)
A press release was initially sent out with Lloyd expressing his displeasure with The Inc.
"I'm ready for a change," Lloyd stated. "There's no bad blood. I just feel I need to take more control over my career and get a fresh start. Hopefully Irv can understand my position." (Ace Showbiz)

Carter Chino Pants (boys)
Here's our take on a completely progressive chino design, as the Carter mixes the relaxed attitude of surfwear with modern street style details. Constructed in a work-wear twill with a slim, straight leg fit, the inseam measures 28", with a 13" knee, and a 13" leg opening. Details include side pockets, modern button welt pockets at back, and a zip fly. A special stone washing treatment creates its comfortable, broken-in look and feel. A leather Billabong logo patch appears at back.
We can all pretty much rank the top male surfers. But what about the gals?...

A government report released Wednesday says federal gas inventories declined for the eighth straight week, while demand remained strong.
The Energy Information Administration says the gas inventories are now below average for this time of year. Those factors helped cause average retail gas prices to shoot up 22 cents per gallon in the last month.
A national spokesman for AAA says higher gas prices will be a factor, this summer and beyond. "Unfortunately AAA does expect for prices to continue to rise for at least the next few weeks, hopefully plateauing a week or two before memorial day weekend," said Geoff Sundstrom.
The price of gas has increased for nine straight weeks. Even in south Georgia, drivers are paying close to three dollars to fuel up.
Expect to pay about $2.55 for gas in Albany, $2.50 in Tifton, and about $2.58 in Valdosta. Overall Georgians are paying about $2.54 a gallon at the pump.

Back in 2005 a soon-to-be dispatched permanently Terrell Owens was sent away from Eagles training camp for insubordination. Relive the classic impromptu press conference from the front lawn of Owens' Moorestown, N.J. mansion.
Yes part of the reason I posted this story was to have an excuse to relive the video -- featured above -- of one of the wildest non-sports moments in sports (and exercising) history.
Terrell Owens' New Jersey mansion -- the site of one of the most bizarre impromptu press conferences in sports history -- finally after five years on the market has been sold.
The Moorestown mansion, where in the summer of 2005 a shirtless T.O. -- sent home from Eagles training camp -- once did sit-ups and weightlifting while repeatedly repeating "no comment" to many questions thrown his way, sold after five years.
As for how much moola Owens fetched for his former home -- it looks like another "no comment."
Realtor Melissa Rattner Young wouldn't give any details, though, about how much the mansion that Owens bought for nearly $4 million in the spring of 2004 sold for.
Philly.com's Insider summed up the estimated worth of the estate:
Owens bought the place -- a lavish five-bedroom, 7 1/2-bath with 7,917 square feet of living space and three-car garage by Rancocas Creek -- for $3.9 million in May 2004.
Owens initially put it on the market in October 2005 for $4.4 million.
He's been paying $37,000 a year in property taxes.
Well at least after half a decade T.O. won't need to worry about that tax burden anymore.
So selling his home can be checked off T.O.'s bucket list. Looks like Owens won't be able to check another item off his to-do list as his current team -- the Cincinnati "Bungles" -- are sinking fast at 2-4 in the strong AFC North and look unlikely to win the Super Bowl title that Owens so badly desires.
Oh well, at least the controversial wideout can say he is doing his part to try and help his team win. His 564 yards and 40 receptions are good enough to land him in the NFL's Top 10 for each receiving category.

Many reviewers here suggest that RATM's first album was their best, but I disagree. In my opinion, the first album suffered from predictable riffs (actually a common problem with this band – they rely way too much on basic blues-scale riffs) and excessively trite, junior-high-civics level lyrics. YES, it was performed by first-rate musicians whose passion and energy rivaled that of any band on the planet! But at the end of the day… their debut was still not that inovative, aside from Tom Morello's guitar sound.
But with Evil Empire, Rage took a daring new approach: cut back (almost eliminate) any conventional guitar solo, and slow the groove a bit. The result is a collection of songs that have a much more unique sound. There is nothing on the debut that is as distinctive-sounding as "Wind Below"; "People of The Sun" and "Bulls On Parade" find Morello unleashing ever-more-insane guitar sounds, which perfectly suit the songs; and "Down Rodeo" features Zack at his most self-righteous, but he doesn't cross over into the kind of empty cliche-mongering that marred the debut.
Overall, this is the most unusual of Rage's three proper "albums." (Renegades should be considered apart from the three self-composed releases) They took the most chances, musically, and for this I consider it their finest hour.

MSNBC Gives Platform for Tebow-bashing, This Time by Leftist Writer Dave Zirin
"I have lost the debate on Tim Tebow's skill as a quarterback. But I'll still challenge Tim Tebow's politics for as long as necessary. And in that battle, the fight continues."
That's how leftist sportswriter Dave Zirin concluded a January 8 column at EdgeofSports.com. So naturally Zirin was the perfect guest for MSNBC to bring on today to discuss the "polarizing" Tim Tebow. [MP3 audio available here; video posted below page break]
"When it comes to polarization and setting people's teeth on edge, comparing Tom Brady to Tim Tebow is like comparing an acorn to an oak tree," The Nation sports editor Zirin began, prompting laughs from NewsNation substitute host Craig Melvin.
Of course, the implication is that Tebow is a "polarizing" figure may be true only in the sense that the public at large and the liberal mainstream media see the world radically differently. The public largely loves Tebow, the liberal sports media, Zirin in particular, not so much.
<<Like this post? Help us take on media bias by donating to NewsBusters (there's also a PayPal option on that page). Without the support of our readers, NewsBusters would not be possible.>>
"Tebow bothers a lot of people for his actions both on the field and off... off the field we know what it is, there's been a lot of discussion about it, his evangelical Christianity, his spokesmanship for Focus on the Family," Zirin noted.
Later in the segment, Zirin informed viewers that Focus on the Family believes in "reparative gay therapy and ending reproductive rights for women...Tim Tebow never gets asked about this," groused Zirin, although, of course, Tebow has never used his celebrity as a platform to plug "reparative gay therapy" and his pro-life Super Bowl ad ended up being much tamer than left-wing zealots made it out to be.
What really frosts Zirin, apparently, is that Tebow is still playing in the NFL, not having had his career "destroyed" by his "politics":
To call Tim Tebow a religious figure is like calling Jerry Falwell a religious figure. He's always been comfortable where politics and religion meet. And there's nothing wrong taking him on about that.
And the hypocrisy that I see is I see a history of athletes in this country from Muhammad Ali to John Carlos and Tommie Smith to Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf in the 1990s for the Nuggets who expressed beliefs on the other side of the spectrum and had their careers destroyed for it.
Carlos -- about whom Zirin wrote a book, "The John Carlos Story" featuring a preface by Cornel West -- and Smith were amateur athletes in track and field, one of many Olympic sports that has no professional analog. What's more, Carlos and Smith were recognized a few years back by ESPN, presented with the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage at the 2008 Espy Awards.
Muhammad Ali registered as a conscientious objector to Vietnam, and continued to box professionally for some 15 years after doing so, with his most famous fights coming in the mid-1970s, after the end of the draft and the gradual removal of troops from Vietnam.
What's more, Ali was the torch-lighter for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, an incredible honor for someone supposedly blackballed by his politics and religion.
Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf served a one-game suspension for not standing during the national anthem in March 1996 but went on in the NBA for two more years. Abdul-Rauf still plays basketball today, for a Japanese team.
Not only is Zirin a politically-driven Tebow hater, he can't get his facts straight while doing so.

Tim Tebow's politics??
Submitted by motherbelt on Fri, 01/13/2012 - 5:13pm.
HUH??? That sounds so much nicer than saying you hate his religion, doesn't it, Mr. Zirin?
His spokesmanship for Focus on the Family? What would that be?
But hey, don't let facts stand in the way of a good canard.
Our local paper had an article today on how people feel about Tebow, and religion in sports. Most of the quoted reactions were positive, but they still felt the need to include this:
He has been chided for suggesting that God intervenes in something as trivial as a pro football game.
That's another canard, since Tebow has NEVER claimed or even implied that God helps him win (or causes him to lose).

Gamaliel said in Acts 5: 29-39
Submitted by Norto on Sat, 01/14/2012 - 10:21am.
essentially if all of this is not of God, it will go away, but if it is of God, there is nothing you can do about it, referring to what the apostles were saying in public about Jesus. The Pharisees were so convinced that Gamaliel was right that they had them flogged and let go. Of course, the Apostles were overjoyed that they were able to suffer in His Name so they went out and continued to preach the Word as they had been instructed and had indeed seen! They were martyrs, which in the Greek is translated, witnesses
God will not be mocked, so the NFL can ban messages under the eyes like John 3:16, but then Tim hits it 3 times in the Steelers game: yards passing, 316 on 10 passes, average 31.6, and the tv rating for the final quarter, yes, 31.6! Go God, Go Tim whatever the outcome.
btw Tim's knee bowing is not about asking for anything, it is about praising Him for all the matters of this life.

Other side? Ali is, according to any survey one cares to pull up, the most "recognized" athlete on the planet. Notwithstanding his refusal to serve he was revered after, and continued with his boxing career. Not only didn't his career crash and burn, it went to after burners. Carlos and Smith politicized the (seemingly) non-political Olympics. Not only did they decide to make a political statement in the most inappropriate place, they did it for political/cultural reasons not religious.
Abdul-Rauf is just a jackass, and frankly a hypocrite. He claimed at the time that he would "never stand" for the National Anthem, but when he was told he would be fined/suspended if he did it again, rather than standing on his new found "principal" he took the money and stood. His was a political statement, not a purely religious one albeit he claimed it was based on his religion.
Mr. Zirin doesn't cite any examples of Tebow's politics - there are none. The closest he could come would be cultural stands, based on his religion, not politics.
In all, Zirin is feckless jackass who apparently believes he can pass-off fact-free crap for researched journalism. Zirin appears to be a feckless fact-free ass - no wonder he got on MSNBC

Zirin's An Idiot
Submitted by rammingspeed on Fri, 01/13/2012 - 5:36pm.
The "other side" people Zirin refers to got into trouble for savaging America with insane, hateful political rhetoric, not because they were Muslims. Zirin is an embarrassment, but I'm of the school where "Let Them Speak, So We Know Them For The Madmen That They Are." Madmen NEVER win. They may have moments of triumph, but in the end, they are crushed. Nazi Germany. USSR. On and on since time immemorial. Castro survived because he was totally isolated in a tiny area. Truly, that was a loss for him, given what he'd hoped to accomplish.

Zirin is a died-in-the-wool red-diaper baby. He bills himself as a "political sportswriter". All his books except one were published by Haymarket Books, which is a Marxist press run by the Center for Economic Research and Social Change--they only publish socialist crap from the likes of Noam Chomsky. They're set up as a non-profit--for the obvious reason that there's no profit to be made peddling the BS they print.
He's perfect for the Marxist Socialist Nothing But Communism network.

So Tim Tebow bows. Did anyone say anything anytime Donovan McNabb raised his fingers in the air to show G0d appreciation? What about all those athletes who thank Jesus in the locker rooms, following games? Did anyone say a word when Tom Landry openly discussed his born-again faith? How about the myriad of newpersons who advised Tiger Woods to "come to Jesus?"
Clearly, this is all about hating Tebow because his mother chose life. The liberals will deny it till they turn blue. But it is what it is and there really is no sense arguing the point with them.
To liberals, Christianity is only to be used in order to further their agendas. When it's no longer needed, it's discarded. Just like humans in a Marxist wonderland.

It amazes me that so many in the liberal media find this appalling when they have NO problem whatsoever with the behavior of the majority of our NFL and NBA athletes who prance and dance, point to themselves, do the Heisman pose, and other things to bring the attention to them. Look at me, me, me! They are nothing but overpaid narcissists. I have stopped watching most professional sports because of their behavior. I'll take his off-the-field behavior over their's anyday.

An article in the Christian Science Monitor discusses Tedow's philanthropy. Before the Steeler's game, in lieu of putting on war paint and cracking his helmet against a wall, he was speaking with Baily Knaub a 16 year old girl who has had 73 surgeries. The Tebow Foundation has a "Wish 15" program that grants "Make a Wish" requests to young people with serious medical problems. Tebow often invites guests and their families to games, puts them up in a hotel and even walks them to the car after the game. His charity is rooted in his faith. His "politics" is rooted in the charity of Christ. I would not be so Christ-like if I met Zirin. I would just as soon break his nose than simply call him out for his feckless attack.
Now that Tebow's season is over, he won't be flying to Cabo with Jessica Simpson or getting his photo taken stumbling out of a trendy bar in upper Manhattan ( events Zirin could only write about, and wet dream over) Tebow will be doing what he does so well - demonstrating class, humility, and charity; things which are clearly alien to Zirin.

Sitting around thinking after the bad start to the season, and how it seems that this team always under achieves or gets hit with bad luck, bad trades, bad injuries, etc.. wondering why am I even a Rangers fan? Am I just a sucker for rooting for the local guys?
I think it makes a huge statement that the "Newberg Effect" has taken off as it has. More and more Rangers' fans are following the day to day happenings of the High A ball team, as if saying we are all clinging to the hope that the 2-HR performance by prospect X may one day happen when/if he gets to the big club.
I feel like we are all reaching and coming up empty.

In Louvered View, a steel frame suspends old glass louvers in ball bearings to capture a view beyond. In Remains of the Leaded Windows No.1, glass shards from an old window are upended and lifted to fly above a steel grid. In Wooden Circles, steel braces hold the two parts of 19 wooden rings together, the ring's openings rhythmically shifting along the length of the piece. All three are exercises in the use of the basic materials identified in the title of the exhibition. The first two pieces were inspired by "found" window glass; the third, by the angles of a circle. All three also explore as design themes repetition of form and line, and positive versus negative spaces.

The zeitgeist of the mid-twentieth century as depicted in movies from that period is a recurring theme of my sculpture. They are meditations upon cinematic imagery and materials from that period: A plastic diving board inspired by The Swimmer, UFOs from Earth vs. the Flying Saucers, a deformed telephone booth at carnival suggests the adrenalized Gun Crazy, and twin orbs that would be at home in The Demon Seed. The minimalism of my sculpture allows the viewer's mind to "script" stories connecting iconic two dimensional images dimly remembered through old movies to the phenomenology of the three dimensional contemporary experience.

Then, I came home and cooked Thanksgiving dinner for my hubby, son, and myself. This was the first time we were home for Thanksgiving in several years. I enjoyed cooking all our family favorites. We had chicken instead of turkey, which was fine with all of us.
I have done a lot of sewing, too. I made a tee shirt pillow for my step-daughter. It was a super bowl tee that belonged to her late husband. It had special memories for her. I loved how it turned out and then forgot to take a photo. Maybe later.
The bigger project is the Hugs and Kisses quilt I'm making for my first great-grandchild. She is due to arrive in January. These blocks have been so easy to piece. I like how they turned out. But, I must say, after using the 1930's reproduction prints for 2 quilts in a row, I've tired of them. I may save the floral and geometric prints and give away the "kiddy" prints.
I was not at all sure about the size of this quilt. It's about 50" square. But, I decided to just go ahead with it. I am leaving off the border. I found a pretty pink printed fabric for the backing. I am debating whether to bind the quilt with some lavender 1930's print or use the same pink as the backing. what do you think?
This afternoon I have put the sandwich together and it is waiting to be pin basted. I hope to have this quilt finished before next week. Lots of other projects waiting!

South Sea Rattan marks 25th year
April 1, 2009-- Casual Living,
With casual lifestyle trends combined with a growing eco-friendly awareness returning attention to rattan and wicker furniture, South Sea Rattan is sharing its sustainable story with a wider audience.
Some casual furniture retailers took serious notice of South Sea Rattan inside its first permanent showroom in Chicago last September. Other casual retailers and indoor furniture dealers have made return visits to the company's High Point Market showroom for a couple of decades.
"Our focus is to serve both segments of the market," South Sea President Jacob Kuo said.
While recognizing the importance of frame styles and product designs, South Sea is maintaining its indoor standards of fabric quality and comfort levels for its outdoor cushions. "We emphasize seating comfort because we know people want to sit in it and enjoy it for a long period of time," Kuo said. "Over the years, we've found comfort to be critically important."
Building on an expertise developed over the past 25 years for its indoor rattan and wicker furniture, South Sea will launch pocket spring cushions at this month's High Point Market. Those cushions, wrapped in conjugated foam with flow-through capabilities for outdoor use, will debut to the casual furniture industry at the Chicago Preview in July.
"I think it's just another step in revolutionizing the outdoor business," said Sandra Marion, vice president of sales. "It's very similar to an inner spring mattress with pocket coils and it gives you the comfort of a very high-end mattress. I think this will separate us and give us another edge."
Kuo and Marion described South Sea's mission as becoming "the No. 1 outdoor and indoor wicker and rattan factory in the industry in the middle price points."
"We continue to look not only at things like the inner springs to add value to the inside and quality of the product, but also to add fashion in things like more color and finishes in the outdoor as well as the indoor lines," Marion said. "I think there's a lot to be said for having the style and fashion in that middle, more promotable price range."
Although contract buyers have bought South Sea's indoor rattan and wicker furniture through the years, the company only recently set up a sales force to handle that segment. Especially for health care and retirement living needs, the category shows strong growth potential.
Replacement cushions already bring in business although it's often 10 years or more before anyone returns with a need for new cushions, said Kuo's wife Esther, vice president. With her background in textiles and apparel, she understands the fashion aspects of the furniture business.
South Sea has learned to innovate and adapt to market changes since the family-owned company first opened in East Orange, N.J., in the wake of an economic recession that gripped the nation in the early 1980s. Kuo quickly realized his company would have to be as strong and pliable as the sustainable materials it sources from Indonesia to make its furniture.
"We were small and didn't have a huge overhead," Kuo said of the company's early days. "We found out if we really wanted to be in the furniture business, we would have to move to the furniture capital of the world."
In 1986, the company relocated to Greensboro, N.C., where its 135,000-sq.-ft. warehouse and offices dominate a 22-acre tract near Interstate 40 and the Piedmont Triad Regional Airport. The facility employs about 30 workers during the off-season in its cut-and-sew cushion operation. More workers are added when needed.
Exhibiting its indoor wicker and rattan furniture at the High Point Market through the late 1980s and early '90s, South Sea put itself into a prime position to serve some of the furniture industry's biggest retail players, such as Levitz and Haverty's, during a time rattan/wicker sales were at a peak.
Although it was positioned to supply the middle price range, competition from low-end rattan and wicker furniture manufacturers did not help overall business when the indoor wicker and rattan category began to slip, Kuo said. At the same time, the evolving trend toward casual lifestyles along with development of sunrooms and outdoor living areas were bringing more demand for a better quality of casual furniture.
Kuo turned his attention to casual specialty retailers and took a temporary showroom space on the 8th floor of Chicago's Merchandise Mart eight years ago. Unfortunately, the Sept. 11 terrorist attack combined with other economic factors to slow South Sea's movement into the casual niche. Three years ago, South Sea began developing furniture to withstand outdoor conditions.
"In the early days, there were so many people in indoor wicker and rattan, but a lot of those have fallen by the wayside so it left the category fairly open for us in the medium price points for indoor wicker and rattan," Marion said.
South Sea was able to show off its major push into the casual segment in September when its permanent showroom opened in Chicago's Merchandise Mart.
"At the July premarket and the September market in Chicago, we did have very good traffic and exposure," Kuo said. "We had quite a few major players come into our showroom. Some of them wrote orders, not everybody, but at least they got to know us."
While they were prepared for the strong response its weather-resistant collections received in Chicago, Marion and Kuo were surprised by the amount of attention given its two indoor furniture collections displayed there.
"We had a number of outdoor furniture retailers say, 'That's a category we could see going into for sunrooms and covered areas,'" Marion said. "We've been very fortunate that it's worked both ways for us. The indoor stores are seeing the outdoor category growing and the need to be in that category. And then the outdoor stores are seeing the niche for indoor wicker and rattan, and adding that. So it's been a good combination for us."
Casual furniture dealers and designers say their customers want to create outdoor living areas to entertain friends and guests, but they also want a haven where they can relax, Kuo said. Consumers may have cut back on vacation travel, but they still want to recapture those memories and bring a resort feeling back to their homes.
"In these tough times when everybody is cutting back on vacationing, they use that money to fix up their homes and backyards. They want something nice there to enjoy," Kuo said. "Instead of spending a couple of thousand dollars to vacation in the Bahamas, they say 'Let's use that and vacation at home.' That opens more business opportunities for us."
With a master's degree in accounting, Kuo's son Inor manages operations for South Sea Rattan and Fairfax Home Furnishings. He also oversees its recently updated Web site, which allows retailers to check stock availability 24/7. "As we're getting bigger, it's critical to manage inventory control," the elder Kuo said.
Having a large warehouse and an already established system for quick shipping provides an advantage these days because retailers are buying conservatively and expect their suppliers to be able to warehouse the product for fast delivery.
"We're really seeing resurgence in the wicker and bamboo category, so it's all come together for us, the indoor and the outdoor," Marion said.
She speculated even after the current recession lifts, retailers who have become accustomed to a two- to three-week express cushion program and quick shipping service will want to continue it.
"Fortunately, we have zero debt and are in position to help out all our dealers so they don't have to carry loads of inventory and be stressed out for cash," Kuo said. "We can work together and weather the storm together."

Gainesville Sun Interviews Brian Baggot about Dram Shop Liability
By: Brian J. Baggot
01.02.08Brian Baggot, a partner in the Tampa office of Rumberger, Kirk & Caldwell, was interviewed recently for an article in the Gainesville Sun. The article by Jack Stripling, titled, "Spreading blame for officer's death," examines the liability of bar owners for serving alcohol to someone who then drives while impaired. In the article, Baggot, who specializes in dram shop liability, explains the standard for establishing liability.
The article was published in the December 23rd edition of the Gainesville Sun.
Baggot's quote from the article is listed below:
If bars are held liable for what happens to patrons when they leave, then other businesses and organizations could face similar suits, he said. Baggot raises the hypothetical scenario that expanding liability laws might make the University of Florida liable for renting a parking space out to a Bull Gator who got drunk and then harmed someone after a football game.
"That slippery slope can really cause you major problems," said Baggot, a partner with Rumberger Kirk and Caldwell. "And you've got an industry that is lawful in the United States. People enjoy drinking beer." Bars face greater liability in cases where a patron is underage, but critics charge that even those laws leave major loopholes that insulate establishments from liability.

If I See Another Post/Tweet About Company X Stealing From Company Y's Playbook....
Really getting tired of reading stuff about how one company is stealing ideas/pages from another company's playbook. Are we really going to act like one company basically thought of ALL great ideas so another company has to copy to compete with it?
Noticed it starting with the Microsoft Surface announcement. Saw so many tweets/posts about how it was Apple-like. Yeah, one thing you could say was that it was secretive like Apple but let's not act like Apple invented the whole "let's keep it secret and announce something big". Apple just did it better.
Even with the Google I/O event, still saw posts/tweets about how Google was taking pages from Apple's playbook.
Can we stop with this stuff. A company presentation is generally going to evolve overtime when they get feedback from attendees and media. Can we stop like Apple "invented" the perfect presentation. Apple events are very well structured and Steve Jobs was a perfectionist at those events. He was a great sales guy on stage. Whatever he was pitching sounded awesome. He even made Ping sound cool.
All I'm saying is that we need to stop with company X stealing something from company Y. Same goes with product features. Just because a product feature is used in another's company's product doesn't necessarily mean it's stealing. Companies copy ideas because they're good concepts and sometimes because it's not patented. Notifications in Android went over to iOS. It's a good concept. Why not use it and improve on it in your own product.
I'm ranting now. Bye.
