Hello, I thought the following experience I had with this FCU would be of interest to all...
I found this FCU (212-473-7310) had the best CD rates thanks to Ken's valuable website so I contacted them to open an account but... was shocked to hear a lady, at its affiliated Self Reliance Association of American Ukrainians (212-777-1336) which grants eligibility okays, that they accept ONLY Russian, Ukrainian or Polish people. I told them my parents were Ukrainians, she said ok she needs to see their birth certificates.
My parents have been dead for decades and only my sister may still have their documents, but, she has advanced Alzheimer's and lives in Argentina! This seems to be an outrageous and needless complication to just open an account! I further asked - do you acccept Ukrainian Jewish people? She said NO. I repeated my question before ending the conversation which she evaded and just repeated that I have to show proof of nationality. I asked to email me this requirement along with any other requirements but she said she doesn't do that...So I can't show what she told me. I'm totally stunned that in this day and age of fierce political correctness enforcement... and in AMERICA!...that an organization like NCUA should impose or at least approve such unequal rule! I've emailed my thoughts to them and hope they'll answer. Rosedala
They cannot discriminate as such since they are insured by the National Credit Union Administration. Please report them to:
Inspector General: 800-778-4806 email@example.com
Just wanted to add on the statement by ROSEDALA that Self Reliance Credit Union accepts only three national groups IS NOT CORRECT – membership is limited to people of Ukraine only and done by territorial characteristic. As western part of Ukraine was under jurisdiction of Poland before WW2 – people born on those territories before WW2 are also considered Ukrainians. After WW2 both parts of Ukraine were united. As Ukraine was the part of USSR before Ukraine got it independence, citizens of former USSR are accepted also because in former USSR Ukrainian national could live anywhere on former USSR territory.
The Self Reliance Ukrainian American Federal Credit Union was established in 1951 by a group of Ukrainian volunteers dedicated to help Ukrainian community under the sponsorship of the Self Reliance Association of American Ukrainians.
Credit Unions are not the banks and by the definition could limit their membership by professional, by national or by any other characteristic acceptable by American law.
There are many financial institutions only for native Americans and since I am not native American I can not be accepted even if I desperately want to join it, there is affirmative action only for minorities of USA and my son could not be advanced by this action during his college admission since he is not African American, there are Senior Citizen communities where people with small children could not be accepted and so on and so on.
There is the beauty of American Democracy – that all people of any group deserve their opportunities under American law.
Statement of ROSEDALA that Self Reliance does not accept Ukrainian Jewish people is so outrages and such blunt lie - this lady deserve to be sued for defamation. I am a Jew and I am the member of Self Reliance. Needless to say, that nobody ever interested not in my religion views, nor in my national roots and not only that this type of question absolutely impossible for a big financial institution on strictly discrimination ground and against American law, but because it is also just plain stupid.
Inability to join Credit Union is not good reason to show yourself such ugly way.
I also think that PAULEB, who also gives negative review to the Self Reliance based only on smear and fake review of ROSEDALA is not right.
ROSEDALA insulted great financial institution, all members of this institution, employees who are doing great work for Self Reliance Credit Union community on absolutely false pretense by calling all of us – anti-Semites (Jewish people are included).
Self Reliance Credit Union is the one of many Credit Unions which has to follow the rules and regulations applied to all Credit Unions by the law.
Almost all Credit Unions have strict limitations on membership. The same way as Teachers Credit Union is only limited for teachers, Navy Credit Union is only limited for military and their family - Self Reliance Credit Union membership is limited only for the people born in Ukraine or for the people born in former USSR (as Ukraine was the part of USSR until Ukraine got independence). When I opened my account with Self Reliance – my passport with the place and the date of birth has to be presented. And off course -nobody asked me if I am Jew, Muslim or Buddhist.
The inability to squeeze her into the institution which paid the better interest on the investment – does not give the right to lie so impudent and to accuse institution in racial discrimination.
All people of Self Reliance I ever had deal with – were exceptionally nice and certainly professional.
This credit union has solid financials and credit standing and it 's not discriminating anybody since it strictly following its union policies without breaking the laws.
Some people way too greedy when they can't cheat the system and have to schlep to they local bank where interest rates is none when comparing to union rates.
If my grandparent are Spanish it does not mean that I am eligible for the educational Spanish grants from city or if my parents came from Poland it does not mean that I am Ukrainian. And if I can't proof any of my statements that makes me sound like liar regardless whether it true or false. This is multicultural city and we have to respect every cultural institutions traditions and policies. When we make racial remarks without understanding the reason then we should look into the mirror and then make judgment.
Does anyone know what their FDIC Certificate # is, as I can not find them in the FDIC System?

As of March 31, 2014 Self Reliance New York Federal Credit Union had $5.81 million in non-current loans and owned real-estate with $179.21 million in equity and loan loss allowances on hand to cover it. This gives Self Reliance New York Federal Credit Union a Texas Ratio of 3.24% which is excellent. Any bank with a Texas Ratio near or greater than 100% is considered at risk.
The Texas Ratio for Self Reliance New York Federal Credit Union decreased dramatically from 7.84% as of March 31, 2013 to 3.24% as of March 31, 2014, resulting in a positive change of 58.62%.This indicates that the balance sheet and financial strength for Self Reliance New York Federal Credit Union has improved dramatically in recent periods.

I've got a NFL Pick'em league started over at my website, and I was hoping to blatantly use BRB to find a few more participants, assuming that BRB doesn't already have their own league.
I have three spots left in a ten-team league, but if there is demand I will bump the amount of spots up.
For those of you who haven't done a Pick'em league before, it's literally just picking winners from the NFL games each week. I haven't decided if we're going to use confidence points or pick with the spread - but we'll figure all that stuff out. Also - there is a prize involved... probably some kind of nice Texans beer glass, or something similar.
If you're intersted, comment here or shoot me an email - firstname.lastname@example.com
Thanks BRB!

Fawn Sled$250.00
Ash Wood
Minnesota, USA
The thing about a sled that makes it different than all other forms of snow travel, the thing that makes it magic, is the fact that you can't really steer. You give in to forces much larger than yourself the moment you sit your butt in the seat. The first force is perhaps your father, pulling you through the powder and up the hill. How is he so strong and sure but reckless and free? How can he just abandon you to the even greater force of gravity? Gravity is even stronger and more certain. Gravity goes only one way for us tiny humans: down. So down the giant hill, screaming you go. Down, down, down. All the way to the gentle slope where you come panting to a halt. Jump out of the sled and yell "Again! Again!" Your cheeks are flushed with the cold air and your first taste of adrenaline. "Again! Again!" A wooden sled made by the last wood toboggan manufacturer in the United States.

The report states that Elitegroup Computer Systems as well as while China-based Malata have been chosen by Intel to manufacture the StudyBook.
Intel's Classmate PC program launched in 2006. The most recent iteration is based on a 7-inch, 8.9-inch and 10.1-inch Lenovo design, Intel's Atom N270 and N455 processors, up to 32 GB flash memory or a 30 GB HDD, as well as Windows XP Professional and Mandriva Linux 2010 operating systems. Digitimes noted that Intel has updated the 10.1-inch Classmate PC with Windows 7 and an N2600 processor in Argentina. The PC is priced in the $300 to $400 range and has received 158,000 orders so far.

Perhaps they still had a few million Atom processors for sale!
There hasn't been a single newsbreaking revolution in the Atom market ever it took over the Celeron M processor.
The N2650 is the processor we've been all waiting for since the Celeron M processor (since all steps between only score a few 'points' higher in benchmarks than their older brothers.
And those points are relative. I'm sure a software flooded Atom N550 is slower than an N260 on some benchmarks, so all the Atom processors really aren't that different from each other!
Just get the N2650 out today, so we can buy them!
0EDVINASM , April 4, 2012 9:04 AMEmerging markets me arse.. Was trying to get the Lenovo version of this StudyBook, only available through government programs and what not. How come it's not accessible to general public even at higher prices?

Is Tegra 3 not ready for prime time on Windows RT yet?
Still, after several months, Tegra 3 demo devices are locked and reviewers interact with them on a controlled enviroment, while it seems Qualcom SoC are much more stable and Samsung, who currently uses them is not ashame to hand its RT tablets to the media.
The infamous Windows RT crash during the launch of the Surface makes me think that they are still ironing out stability issues and all this controls makes me think they are still far from getting it done.
Do you think the same? are you positive about Tegra 3, or like S4 more?

While some brands are still learning how to use social media, a few have already found that Twitter is an incredibly important customer relations management tool.
We ranked the most powerful brands on Twitter by cross-referencing Twitahollic's most-followed list with Fortune's Top 100 brands.
We then narrowed the list to only those brands that interact with followers—meaning that some major companies, like Apple, aren't on here. We also asked each company to tell us how they manage their Twitter audience.
What follows are the brands that use Twitter the best, and have the most clout with customers in the Twittersphere.

EVIL INGENIOUS geocaches of Mr Gadget #2
I was at the Washington State Geocaching Association Summer Picnic in Newcastle, Washington which is near Seattle. Unfortunately I arrived late because I was in the Cascade Mountains and not being familiar with the terrain, it took longer to get back than anticipated.
It was (unusually I am told) a beautiful day with crystal clear blue, cloudless skies. Lots of people turned up from all over the state and out of state.
Various geocachers showed off their handiwork.
Mr Gadget #2 is known in the Wenatchee and Central Washington regions for his evil but ingenious cache containers. In this video he shows how some of them work. I had trouble figuring out how to open them even with him prodding me with hints. You would not want to come across one of these in the wild! Just when you you have found it, and you think it is all over, it is in fact, just the beginning.
The reason for showing videos of high quality geocaches like these is to inspire everyone to come up with creative caches themselves. Hopefully as more people put out quality geocaches, we'll all have great experiences.
Check out this video:
AMAZING geocache container (Cryptex)
If you want to build a Cryptex geocache similar to this, check out this video.
I visited Bloomington, Indiana and hung out with a great group of geocachers - MonsterCatAmbush, DJHobby, ErWin and Mickey4Jes. Bloomington is famous for being the home of Hoagy Carmichael and Indiana University.
The geocachers here are concerned about improving the quality of geocaches, and go to a lot of trouble to put out the highest quality hides. They were very hospitable and showed me some of the quality hides around town. They were kind enough to give their views on video, and I'll put them soon.
Here's an amazing geocache container called a Cryptex created by MonsterCatAmbush which will be used as part of a mystery geocache. It consists of an outer container made from three concentric tubes and an inner container. You can only remove the inner container by rotating rings that form a combination lock.
You can see that he has gone to a lot of trouble to put this together. He really knows how to geocache with high quality geocaches. Check out the video.
Do people think you know how to geocache?
Don't we love to receive the emails when people log a find on one of your caches.
If I'm honest it's one of the reasons I hide caches - especially if I know that there is something great about the cache. I enjoy hearing about peoples' experiences leading up to the find. If you place really good geocaches, then expect to receive a lot of positive comments.
Geocachers are usually polite when it comes to logging their caches. If they think the cache is rubbish, they probably won't be too negative; but they also won't be very effusive. You might get some terse comment. If you're not receiving positive comments then maybe the cache isn't as good as you think.
Another way to see what people think is to look through the list of your caches and see how many are marked as Favourites. If there are not many in the list, then maybe you need to review your cache hiding techniques.
Check out the survey to see what people like about geocaches ... then give them what they want!

India vs Sri Lanka Highlights | 2nd ODI | Perth | 8th Feb | 2012
India vs Sri Lanka 2nd ODI Cricket Highlights Match 2 Tri-Series Perth 2012. Watch Cricket Highlights Commonwealth Bank Series India vs Sri Lanka 2nd ODI 8th February, 2012. Sri Lanka vs India 2nd ODI of Tri-Series Highlights 2012. Cricket highlights of Match 2 India vs Sri Lanka ODI 8th feb 2012.
When nothing seems to going the right way, India would look to get their ODI tri-series campaign on track when they clash with Sri Lanka on Wednesday. India will meet Sri Lanka for the first time since the 2011 World Cup final.
It is the batting that has let down India in the Test series and the first one-dayer against Australia. But the match against Sri Lanka with a weak bowling attack gives the Indian batsmen an opportunity to bounce back. In the first ODI, skipper MS Dhoni made the folly of playing three spinners which eventually backfired, so there are chances of a changed bowling attack.
Going by the reputation of the WACA pitch, India would consider the option of bringing back experienced Zaheer Khan and Umesh Yadav and in order to accommodate the two speedsters either R Ashwin or Ravindra Jadeja may sit out.
In the first match, India missed a trick by resting Virender Sehwag, but the dashing opener is confident of playing in the second tie. Sehwag then has to come in at the expense of Gautam Gambhir or Sachin Tendulkar.
India must be hurting from last month's visit to Perth where they lost the third Test against Australia in two and a half days, but this time around they would like to reverse the result at this venue. On the other hand Sri Lanka is also going through a tough phase be it a change of captain, non-payment issues and reports of internal strife among the players. But as a team they haven't played that badly with some youngsters bursting into the scene with a bang and making their presence felt.
With the emergence of these promising youngsters, Sri Lanka has a healthy mix of youth and experience. At the top there are Tillakaratne Dilshan and Upul Tharanga followed by the classy Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara. In the bowling line-up they have Lasith Malinga, arguably the best in limited-overs cricket.
Going by the recent performances of both the teams, Sri Lanka have an upper hand and India would not make the mistake of taking them lightly as an opponent.

I have an electric drumset with cymbals (Rude Hats, Innovations Ride, AAX dark 14 and 16) anyways I was wondering about cymbal mutes. What kind should I get? Does it make a difference if they are cheap or is it a good idea to buy the expensive versions.
Also what do you think of my cymbals? Good for metal?
Just go to a music store and buy the cheapest ones they have, it doesnt matter what you get. They all work. You can always ask the sales guy, he'll be able to help you good.
Those cymbals aren't bad. Metal players usually have bigger crash cymbals though. Average sizes in metal are 16" 18" and 20", you don't see many guys using 14" crashes. The bigger the cymbal, the louder the sound. The ones you have are fine though, don't go rushing out to get bigger cymbals unless you have the money already.
THanks I already got my mutes they work fine. Do I hit the mutes or the cymbals themselves? I've been hitting the mutes unless I use the hats

« Founder of American Family Association in Intensive Care | Main | Obama Attempts to Debunk Rumors in Call to Faith Leaders »
August 19, 2009
Francis Collins Resigns from Faith and Science Foundation
National Institutes of Health chief Francis Collins resigned from the BioLogos Foundation, the foundation he started in May as a way to reconcile faith and science, USA Today reports.
"I want to reassure everyone I am here to lead the NIH as best I can, as a scientist," Collins said, noting concerns.
The author of The Language of God: 'A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief has been outspoken about his faith in the past.
''The NIH director needs to focus on science,'' Collins told the Associated Press on Monday. ''I have no religious agenda for the NIH.''
The AP reports that Collins resigned from the Web site the day before assuming his new job, but was proud of its work.
"I do think the current battle that's going on in our culture between extreme voices is not a productive one," he said. "The chance to play some kind of useful role in that conversation by pointing out the potential harmony was something that seemed to be making some inroads."
Update: Family Research Council's David Prentice responds to Collins, who supports using embryos for research and helped Obama craft his policy for the NIH. "Saying that one is a devout evangelical Christian while promoting embryo and cloning experiments, is a bit akin to claiming to be a devout Druid while promoting clear-cutting of forests," Prentice writes.
I think Collins is his own man. I hope this is not the beginning of a metamorphoses (evolution?) towards a "company man." He must have felt pressure from somewhere. The rest of the story, as Paul Harvey used to say, may be the most interesting part.
I'm tired of morons who in the 21st century actually believe in an invisible man who lives in the sky, and think a dead carpenter floated up to the sky because a couple of scared women said so.
Religion, dumbing-down America for two centuries. Dumbing-down the world for a lot longer.
America is filled with idiots, who successfully hold down jobs and have families, even with such diseased minds. It's a miracle.
Sorry you feel as you do Ted. Unfortunately, the tone you strike in neither productive or effective. If you want to persuade perhaps you should present something other than disparaging insults. Believe it or not many who believe in God are from moronic. Search your history and you'll find that many great thinkers and scientists were theists. Francis Collins being not the least.
Yes! I know of two great scientists who were Christian in their beliefs: Galileo and Einstein!
Both believed in God as Creator of the Universe and all that is in it. Today a great Physicist at NASA Propulsion Lab in Pasadena, CA founded "Reasons to Believe" church, where many scientists are coming to believe in Christ Jesus -- Dr. Hugh Ross.
Max Planck, the founder of quantum mechanics and a peer to Einstein, was a very devout Christian. He led an active and heroic prayer life. He was dismissed from his positions by Hitler after defending Jewish scientists from persecution.
The approximate equivalent German institution to our AAAS is named in his honor, The Max Planck Institute.
Allan Saunders, Jocelyn Bell's doctoral advisor, and the world's leading observational cosmologist, became a Christian believer, after reflecting on the significance of what his student had discovered (The Big Bang).
I'm retracting the third paragraph about Jocelyn Bell's advisor. I seem to have had suffered a brain storm. Her advisor was Antony Hewish.
I recall reading about his conversion in a commentary in Chuck Colson's Breakpoint series about the conversion of England's greatest atheist, but now, I am not certain about anything that I'm remembering.
I apologize for the rash posting and the inaccuracy of my recollections.
I thanked God when I read on Jul 9th that Pres. Obama appointed Francis Collins to the top Job at NIH (where he previously lead the Human Genome Project). Dr collins' selection is clearly a case of "the best qualified person was picked". Resigning other positions should be viewed as a desire to dedicate oneself to the fullest as head of NIH and not as some compromise of principle. Prentice and the politically biased FRC should be ashamed of themselves.
Congrats, Dr. Collins! Very appropriate to bow out from one job to focus on another, of course still holding onto his faith as strong as ever, since science and faith have no tension whatever. All truth is God's truth.
Since the Bible doesn't lay out exactly what stance to take on embryonic stem cell research, nor indeed the beginning of life, it is intriguing that Prentice regards that particular political position to be as essential to the Christian faith as trees are to the Druid faith. By the way, I wish Prentice could explain the relationship between Druids and trees? I am tempted to make a jibe about his familiarity about his extensive experience with false religion, but that would be below the belt. I agree that stem cell research should be limited to adult cells (for ethical, economic and medical reasons), but it might be wrong to presume that those who think as Dr. Collins do are not in a right relationship with Christ, or are necessarily sinning in their position. Let us always be careful to seek to conform more and more to God's views, rather than presuming that He shares ours.
Believe it or not many who believe in God are from moronic.
Is that the planet in the Cognitive Dissonance system?
many great thinkers and scientists were theists
Your point being? How do you explain the fact that, in an era of widespread scientific knowledge and much-diminished church hegemony, nearly all modern great thinkers and scientists are nontheists?
Yes! I know of two great scientists who were Christian in their beliefs: Galileo and Einstein!
Einstein, in a letter of March 24, 1954: "It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it."
As for Galileo, we can be glad that he was not afraid to be a heretic.

WP8 and the new things you might not know about
So, I've been playing with my 8S and have been surprised by the amount of NEW features, some of which reviewers didn't mention, and others understated:
1) File system:
You can delete songs using Xbox music, go to an artist, inside an album, and press "..." and you can delete as many songs as you want. Delete all of the songs and you can remove the artist from the device.
Deleting photos is also easy - go into the photo hub, select an album and you can select all photos and delete them too.
You can, instead of deleting files, with a device with expandable storage, move them to your MicroSD card.
Saving to skydrive is also a lot easier, "..." now shows "save to skydrive".
There's a phone storage app built into settings.
You can auto reject a call and send a pre-saved SMS reject to the number calling - up to 4 present messages can be created, when a call comes through, you click on sms reject and chose a message, it sends and the call is rejected.
You can delete more than one messaging thread at a time, click "..." and you can delete as many different conversations as you desire.
You can now attach a contact within messaging, rather than using a separate app.
You can attach your location from messaging too - didn't see this on 7.5 but I may be wrong
Drafts - there's now a drafts folder, click "..." to show it, a message backed out on will save there.
Adding multiple contacts into a text is easier, simply press the select key when adding a contact to a new text and select as many as you wish.
You can search for contacts when making a new text by pressing the search button.
There are far more emotions to use when sending a text, and it seems to store your most recently used ones too!
Under the messaging settings you can save text messages and chats to "backup"
Battery saver
Battery saver can now be turned on all the time, using a swipe switch.
Battery saver "advanced" settings also enable you to change settings, "when battery is low", "now until next charged" and "always".
The feedback within settings shows how many MB of feedback your device has sent, and displays some additional information about feedback, and how it works.
Internet explorer Under settings->internet explorer you will find "manage storage", you can delete files saved on the device from websites that save to the handset.
Do not track can be enabled.
Smartscreen filter can be enabled.
You can chose to not allow any website to store files on your device.
There's a delete history button which I don't recall seeing on 7.5
Maps Under the settings for maps, one can download maps manually to the device, by clicking "download maps", updates can also be checked for and deleting maps history is also an option.
Xbox music cloud collection Under music settings you can sync all of your downloaded xbox music tracks, this can be turned on/off - my device did as soon as I got it, with songs purchased from Zune before.
You can get suggestions, and edit them, for both the store and music/videos.
Lock screen
Up to five applications can give you quick notifications on the lock screen. These can be customised in any order.
One application can show detailed information on the lock screen.
Live backgrounds are amazing - I'm using weather flow, and you can open the app directly from settings to customise what it shows and how.
You can now search through your call history by going to calls and searching

Holden will unveil the Commodore Sportwagon at the 2007 Sydney motor show. It will go on sale in early 2008.
In the near future, Opel might sell a luxury European version of the Holden Commodore. The new model will come to replace the Omega that was discontinued in 2003 and will became the flagship of the Opel range.
HSV will unveil a 7.0 liter supercar at Sydney Motor Show in October. HSV promises that the new model will be the fastest Australian car ever built. Even if there are no news about the name yet, the new model will be inspired by the 427 moniker or the GTS-R badges from the 2004 concept race car.
Holden has unveiled a special edition VE Commodore Lumina offering an impressive level of standard features and outstanding value for money. The new special edition is priced at $32.990.
Holden Special Vehicles today officially launched WM Grange – a luxury performance limousine with specification and power without peer in Australia. WM Grange represents a substantial investment by HSV and is packed with a range of unique features that sets it apart from its domestic and imported competitors.
Special edition Rodeo LTZ models are now on sale featuring enhanced sports styling with up to $4000* extra value, depending on model. Rodeo LTZ represents exceptional value for money across three LT model variants. They are 4x2 V6 petrol crewcab, 4x4 V6 petrol crewcab and 4x4 turbo diesel crewcab.
Holden has released special edition Commodore SVZ Ute and Wagon models offering key extra features and outstanding value for money. Available now, SVZ Ute offers a six-speed manual transmission from $29,990 and a five-speed automatic from $30,990.
Holden's new value-packed and fuel efficient mid-size sedan, Epica, is now on sale – with a special money back offer for private buyers. Epica is available in two variants (CDX and CDXi) with a choice of either a 2.0 or 2.5-litre in-line six cylinder engine, depending on model.
GM Holden and Victoria Police have joined forces to design 20 striking SS Commodores to help reduce the road toll and increase road safety during the Easter period.

Pope John Paul II has moved a step closer to sainthood.
A Vatican official says a commission of theologians approved a miracle attributed to his intercession, clearing a key hurdle. The case now goes to a commission of cardinals and then Pope Francis. John Paul's canonization is possible in autumn to coincide with the 35th anniversary of his election, though the official said Wednesday on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to reveal details about the case that it may be too soon.
The Polish-born pope has been on the fast track for sainthood ever since retired Pope Benedict XVI waived the traditional five-year waiting period and allowed the investigation into his life and virtues to begin just weeks after his 2005 death. John Paul was beatified in 2011.

Larry Riley makes it clear: Prepare yourself for life after Anthony RandolphFiled under: News; Tagged as: Andris Biedrins, Anthony Randolph, Anthony Tolliver, Caron Butler, Chris Hunter, Devean George, Larry Riley, Monta Ellis, Raja Bell, Speedy Claxton, Stephen Curry
By Geoff Lepper
I'm not sure if Anthony Randolph rents or owns his in-season home here in the Bay Area, so I don't know which piece of advice to give him. It's either:
a) Call your landlord and find out what you need to do to ensure to get your security deposit back.
b) Call a good real-estate agent and get started on staging that sucker, because with this market, it could take months to sell.
Whatever is the case, it appears obvious from general manager Larry Riley's comments Saturday night that Randolph is on the block and that the Warriors expect to give up the second-year forward in the near future.
Anthony Tolliver stays, Speedy Claxton disappears — and so have the Warriors' chances of picking up an asset
By Geoff Lepper
Word comes from this morning's shootaround (via Jaymee Sire's Tweet) that the Warriors are keeping forward Anthony Tolliver and making room by cutting loose guard Speedy Claxton.
The move is both expected to some extent — someone prediced correctly almost a week ago that the W's would keep Tolliver — and yet also surprising, in that Claxton represented one of the Warriors' largest expiring contracts at $5.2 million.
Honestly, I thought it would be either Chris Hunter or Devean George who got the kiss off to allow the Warriors to retain Tolliver, who had already served out two 10-day contracts and had to be given a deal for the remainder of the year or let go.
The Warriors Report: Despite the win, has Golden State fallen behind Sacramento and Memphis?Filed under: The Morning Report; Tagged as: Andris Biedrins, Devean George, Don Nelson, Jamal Crawford, Mike Conley, Monta Ellis, Ronny Turiaf, Stephen Curry, Steve Nash
By Geoff Lepper
Your daily guided tour through the national and local media coverage of the always-entertaining Golden State Warriors.
San Francisco Chronicle (Bruce Jenkins):Bruce hits leadoff for the second straight day by coming with the splash of cold water for Warrior fans: Golden State has been passed up by not only Oklahoma City, but also Sacramento and Memphis.
I'm not sure I agree, over the long-term, with the last two picks — Sacramento "has moxie"? What is this, the Girl Scouts? And of course Mike Conley is ascending; he can't possibly go any lower — but it's certainly not out of the realm of possibility.
Game 12, The Wrapup (Warriors 108, Trail Blazers 94): Monta Ellis brings the noise on DFiled under: The Wrapup; Tagged as: Andre Miller, Andris Biedrins, Anthony Morrow, Baron Davis, Brandon Roy, Chris Hunter, Corey Maggette, Devean George, Don Nelson, Greg Oden, Jerryd Bayless, LaMarcus Aldridge, LeBron James, Mike Montgomery, Monta Ellis, Paul Pierce, Ronny Turiaf, Speedy Claxton, Stephen Curry, Stephen Jackson, Steve Blake, Vladimir Radmanovic
By Geoff Lepper
I have to admit, I didn't think much of all the praise being lavished upon the Warriors in the wake of their two "close" defeats in Cleveland and Boston earlier this week. I thought the only things missing from all the happy chatter were some freshly-sectioned oranges and homemade Rice Krispie treats, because it all had that air of youth-soccerdom: Good job, way to go, you tried hard and that's what matters.
It's official: C.J. Watson has H1N1, will miss Warriors' next two gamesFiled under: News; Tagged as: C.J. Watson, Devean George, Raja Bell, Vladimir Radmanovic
By Geoff Lepper
Larry Riley seemed to be going for laughs when he told various groups of media Monday that Don Nelson was so quirky, he might just play one of his new acquisitions, Raja Bell and Vladimir Radmanovic, 35 minutes on Tuesday against Cleveland.
It's becoming more clear he wasn't joking.
The team announced late Monday afternoon that C.J. Watson has contracted the H1N1 virus — commonly called the "swine flu" — and will miss the final two games on the team's current road trip.
Watson posted the news that he was a suspected H1N1 sufferer on his Twitter feed, and included a picture of himself with the face mask he has to wear in public settings. He stayed behind in Milwaukee as the team flew ahead.
It's a good thing Bell and Radmanovic were expected to join the team in Cleveland on Monday night and should be available Tuesday. The Warriors will need those two just to make the league-mandated minimum of eight players in uniform, although the San Francisco Chronicle is reporting that Devean George — who's been out all year with a knee injury — is being flown in as well.

i guess i just wanted to make a little pause, passing by paris, and share in this post my favourite recent sounds collected here and there, with people i love. i hope you will enjoy.
first, this film with tomi lebrero which is in a way the perfect one to introduce anybody to what i have been trying to make in those past years. might be my favourite souvenir from any of my trips.
then, another film shot on that same week in buenos aires. with pablo malaurie. it's the first part of the take away show posted today on la blogotheque. what happens during the second song is quite fantastic. superb mix by fer isella and edit by my favourite argentinian team.
passing by paris in april, i met the floating alina and did this little portrait of her. beautiful beautiful person. wonderful mix by vincent cosson.
i met david last summer and since then we became very good friends. i had to give him a little film, we did this very nice one in a snowy new york winter. thx to daniel for the great edit and to brian for the mix, full of an incredible wind.
to end, nothing's better than the poetic and mighty valparaiso, where i spent an afternoon with fernando. pablo did the mix, gates the edit. thx guys. a longer film with more of the chilean encounters is on its way.
on the road forever. next stops, poland, england, denmark, usa… and preparing a long trip in south america, brazil in november. be well and adventurous. yalla.

Associated Press
NORMAN, Okla. (AP) - At the start of the season, a three-game stretch during which No. 11 Oklahoma would play Notre Dame, TCU and Texas in successive weeks loomed large for the Sooners.
Oklahoma (4-0, 1-0 Big 12) dispatched some of the program's demons by beating then-No. 22 Notre Dame. Now the Sooners want to avoid a letdown against TCU (2-2, 0-1), which has struggled at times after entering the season ranked in the top 25.
The contest Saturday against the Horned Frogs would seem to be the classic trap game. It comes right after one of the biggest wins in recent years and just before an always-emotional showdown with archrival Texas.
But Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops says it won't be hard for the Sooners to focus on TCU. He says the Sooners don't play just four games and that no one at Oklahoma "is ever satisfied with beating one team."

Old-Fashioned Colonial Christmas
All natural decorations make a lasting impression
An invitation to Mike Mattevi and Mike Rogers' annual holiday open house is like an instant passport to Colonial Williamsburg, wrapped in all the festive accoutrements that 18th-century America might have offered.
An evening to remember
The spirit of the season is felt in the generous, warm and unpretentious way the couple entertains and decks the halls. The food is a fabulous homemade feast—from scrumptious hors d'oeuvres followed by a Colonial-inspired buffet dinner with Smithfield ham, tenderloin and other Yuletide dishes. Candles and oil-burning lamps flicker and cast a magical glow upon an unforgettable evening. The fireplace in the keeping room, transformed into an 18th-century tavern for the event, magnificently roars, and the pleasant bartender, who wears a tri-cornered hat popular during Colonial times, handily pours beverages from behind the cage bar. Even Jack, the family Airedale terrier, seems to enjoy the merriment.
The couple's fondness for the famous historic site in Virginia radiates throughout their spacious two-story Colonial-style home in the Washington Township area of Dayton. "When we do the party, everything is real," explains Mattevi. "We try to follow some of the traditions at Williamsburg."
Swags made of delicious-looking natural ingredients such as lemons, pomegranates and apples are elegantly draped on the banister leading to the second floor; cheerful Santa figurines grace various nooks and crannies, and a quaint village scene dominates the mantel in the living room. And, yes, fresh pineapples—a recurring motif in Colonial Christmas decorations—pop up in centerpieces throughout the home.
The couple started their Christmastime tradition when they moved into their home in 2004. The neighborhood already had established an annual holiday potluck, and Mattevi and Rogers seized upon the opportunity to host the festivities. "It has evolved from 30 people to 130 people. The more we had it, the more fun it became," Mattevi says.
The event is family-friendly, as the couple's children—Olivia, 16, and Alec, 15—are active participants in staging the open house. Don Rogers, Rogers' father, serves as an informal curator and is happy to describe the various construction elements of the home, which was built in 1967. His own handiwork is seen in the small wooden baskets on the window ledges outside filled with fruit and greenery.
Attention to details
The home reflects excellent craftsmanship and the replication of historic details that the original owners, also lovers of the Colonial period, insisted upon when they built the house. "They left us with lots of photographs of the architectural detail at Williamsburg," Mattevi says.
Masons and blacksmiths were part of the team that built the home, an impressive, 3,500-square-foot replica of a Colonial Williamsburg home. Rogers and Mattevi say most of the homes in their neighborhood are replicas of historic homes either in Williamsburg or Deerfield, Massachusetts.
Keeping a cohesive Colonial look throughout the home, the men repainted the interior of the home with paints from the Williamsburg Color Collection by Pratt & Lambert, and the palette is pleasing and sumptuous. Mattevi and Rogers also lined the walls of the home with their formidable art collection, which includes oil reproductions of famous American portraits and original English portraiture from the late 1700s and early 1800s.
Christmastime, however, is when the Colonial vibe hits full stride. Beginning in October, Mattevi starts designing and making a gingerbread house that is sight to behold. After building the gingerbread base, he embellishes the structure with architectural precision and patience. Two thousand pieces of cereal, hand-placed, for instance, were used to create the roof on the building of last year's house. "It just comes to me. It's my labor of love," he says, estimating that he spent about 200 hours creating the 18th-century street scene that includes a tavern and an apothecary. "We do a different gingerbread house design every year. In 2007, we did a gingerbread house version of our home. In 2008, it was the Governor's Palace at Williamsburg," he adds.
Last-minute preparations
The larger of two garages in the back of the home serves as the creating and staging area for the myriad Christmas projects. "This is where all the behind-the-scenes disasters take place," Rogers says with a laugh. On the evening of the party, however, there are no signs of creative blunders—only impeccable attention to detail is present.
Last year, the Christmas tree in the keeping room was decked out with cookie ornaments made from Springerle molds Mattevi collects, dried yarrow, artichokes and pine cones. Mattevi says the molded cookies originated hundreds of years ago. Today, replicas of the traditional European molds are available in hundreds of delicate yet detailed designs.
At the other end of the keeping room is the cage bar, which is festively decorated as well and serves as a natural gathering point for guests, who can be seen enjoying Washington Apple Martinis and Coconut Rum Punch. Just for fun, Rogers demonstrates how the cage works. "In Colonial times, the cage would come down so no one would steal the liquor."
The men admit it is hard to pinpoint the most memorable moments of the holiday merry-making. "My favorite part is when everything is ready and the servers are here. Then I can relax and have a martini," says Mattevi, who takes the whole week off work prior to the open house. "I love coming up with different ideas. That's the fun—and seeing everyone having fun." Rogers adds that he enjoys the "one-half hour prior to the party and the hush before all the guests arrive."

Finding the Best Used Car that's Right for You
by Larry Gamache
The price of new cars has steadily climbed over the past few years, making used vehicles more attractive than ever. Because new vehicles lose so much of their value as soon as they're purchased, car shoppers are increasingly turning to used cars and used trucks for sale as a smart financial alternative. Today, thanks to manufacturing and maintenance advances, used vehicles are better than ever and still a great value.
Which Car is Right for You?
The first step in finding the right used cars to buy is a detailed assessment of your transportation needs. It's a good idea to answer the following questions:
- How will the car be used? The first thing to do is to decide on a class of vehicle that best fits your lifestyle.
- What are you looking for? Create a checklist and stick to it. Figure out what your needs are and plan a budget. Know what you are looking for before you look at the first car.
- Who will be driving the car? And where?If you're concerned about taking your kids to soccer practice, you're probably going to need a car with lots of seating and storage capacity. If this is a first car for your son or daughter, you will want to make sure it is safe and reliable. If you're planning to use the car for commuting, gas mileage and comfort may be your biggest considerations.
- What are some vehicle safety features you are looking for? Are you interested in anti-lock brake systems, front and side airbags, integrated seat belt systems, head injury protection, or child protection equipment?
- How much can you afford to spend?Long before you start the process, think about how much you're willing to spend, how much of a down payment you can make, and how much you can afford per month. Refer to "Paying for Your Car" for more information.
Once You've Decided on a Type
After you narrow your search to a few makes and models, analyze the pros and cons for each. There are many excellent resources available to help you do your research, including web sites, dealerships, and your local library. Read Consumer Reports magazine -- online or hard copy -- for reliability and repair ratings as well as general advice. Check out the sources on the web that offer pricing information and comprehensive advice on buying a used car, such as Edmunds and Kelley Blue Book. In addition, refer to the list of web sites included in this publication.
Look at individual used trucks and cars. Gather as much information as you can on the different makes and models. Check out the retail value, available options, performance, and track record for repairs.
For information about car safety features, recalls, crash tests, and other auto safety topics, go to the National Highway Safety Administration's (NHTSA) website. You can also call NHTSA's toll-free Auto Safety Hotline at 888-DASH-2-DOT (888-327-4236) and have information sent to you.
Consider Its History
You can purchase your new, previously owned car from an independent used car lot, a new-car dealership, an auction, a used car superstore, or a private seller. Wherever you decide to buy your car, there are some important things you need to know.
- While your heart will play a big role in your decision, don't lose your head.Be willing to walk away from the car if the deal doesn't meet the criteria you laid out earlier in your checklist. Your ability to negotiate a great deal will increase by magnitudes.
- Always know the market value of any car you're considering and make your first offer lower.It's always easy to go up from your initial offer, but you probably won't be able to negotiate down from there. Several web sites offer pricing information to help you determine the value of the car. Compare the car you are considering to other cars that are similar to make the best assessment.
- You should always be concerned about buying "someone else's problems." Make sure you get a detailed vehicle history reportand service records from the person selling the vehicle. A vehicle history report can identify major problems, including past accidents, flood damage, and odometer discrepancies. When you find the car you want to buy, make sure you get it checked out by a trusted mechanic before you give the seller any money.
Examine the Car
Take a look. Make sure the body parts line up, the paint matches, the doors open and close easily, and the tires show even wear.
Lift the hood. Check under the hood for leaky hoses, worn belts, and dirty oil. Automatic transmission fluid should be clear and reddish, and not smell burned. Radiator water should have a light yellow or green color.
Take a seat. Turn the ignition key to "accessory" and make sure all of the warning lights and gauges work. Start the car and check all lights and accessories and make sure no warning lights remain lit on the dashboard.
Have the airbag checked. Pay close attention to the airbag indicator lights. If these lights fail to illuminate as you start the car, or stay lit after the car is running, it is a warning that the car's airbags are not functioning correctly. Since this is a problem that you may not be able to detect yourself, have a mechanic inspect the airbags for you.
Poke around. Look for signs of water damage. For example, waterlines in the trunk or engine compartment; mud or dirt under the carpet; water or rust in the spare tire well; and frayed, loose, or brittle wires. Turn on the fan for the heater and air conditioning and see if the air smells musty or mildewy.
Perform a safety check. Try on the seat belt and take a test drive to ensure that you are comfortable while driving the vehicle. Make sure head restraints, roof structures, and windshield designs do not interfere with your ability to see clearly. Test the vehicle at dusk or in the early evening to determine your comfort with the visibility provided by the headlamps. If you already have a child safety seat, install it to check for compatibility.
Hit the road. Take the vehicle up to 35 to 40 mph. Make sure the shifting is smooth and the steering is straight. When braking, a pull to the left or the right could indicate a brake problem. The steering wheel should not shimmy at high speeds and cornering should be smooth.
Check the sources. Buying through the classifieds? Check the name on the title and match it to the name on the seller's drivers license. Many individuals disguised as private sellers are actually unlicensed, unregulated curbstoners, who may pass problem cars on to unsuspecting buyers.
Get a thorough inspection. It is a good idea to have a trusted mechanic inspect the car for problems that may not be easily identified. Specifically ask for the car to be put on a lift. This may cost a few bucks, but it could save you a lot of money by avoiding a car with hidden problems.
Find out about the car's past. You can obtain a CARFAX Vehicle History Report to find out the number of owners of the car you are looking at has had any problems in its past, such as flood damage, odometer problems, or a salvage titles. This, in conjunction with a mechanical inspection can help you make a more informed buying decision and save you money in the long run by helping you avoid problem cars.
Be Aware of Potential Problems
The most sought after used cars are probably less than five years old and have less than 50,000 miles on the odometer. When you're looking for a used car, you'll probably want to find one that has been driven no more than 15,000 miles per year. But you can't assume that a low-mileage car is necessarily in great shape.
One major concern is odometer tampering. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that consumers lose billions of dollars a year to odometer fraud. Odometer readings may be rolled back or documents may be forged. Making miles disappear helps increase the car's value to the seller, but can mean increased maintenance and repair costs to the buyer. In addition to odometer fraud there are other significant events in a car's past that unscrupulous sellers may try to hide. Every state has laws designed to protect consumers from buying used cars that may not be road worthy. Consumers should be direct when asking sellers about a vehicle's past and they should get a detailedvehicle history report. If the seller cannot provide a detailed vehicle history report, you can use the 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN) to secure a car's history from CARFAX.
Many major manufacturers offer certified preowned programs, which require thorough inspections and strict qualifications for all vehicles. To qualify under some programs, a vehicle must have no more than 36,000 miles on its odometer. Extended warranties vary, but are typically 12-36 months. Some manufactures also offer special low-interest financing.
Other Costly Problems to Avoid
Damage Disclosure, Salvage and Rebuilt Titles
These titles are issued by states when a vehicle has sustained damage as a result of one or more incidents. States may issue a salvage title when an insurance company takes possession of a vehicle as a result of a claim. This generally occurs after a vehicle has been declared a total loss. A state may issue a rebuilt title if a vehicle sustained damage and was rebuilt or reconstructed, then placed back on the road. States issue junk titles to indicate that a vehicle is not road worthy and cannot be titled again in that state.
Lemon Laws (Manufacturer Buyback Titles)
"Lemons" are sometimes resold to consumers as used cars. The lemon laws were enacted to protect consumers from having to keep new cars that have recurring problems. If someone buys a new car with major problems, and the manufacturer fails to repair the defects in a specified amount of time, the manufacturer may be required to refund the consumer's money by buying the vehicle back. Some of the vehicles that are bought back are subsequently resold as used cars.
Flood Damage Title
States issue flood titles when a vehicle has been in a flood or has received extensive water damage.
Grey Market Vehicles
"Grey market vehicles" are those that are manufactured outside of the United States and do not meet state and federal regulations regarding emissions and safety standards. Federal law requires that each imported car that is not in compliance with regulations be prohibited from being operated on public highways or resold.
Paying for Your Car
It's a good idea to have all your questions about paying for your car resolved before you start to shop. The most difficult part about buying your used car will probably be figuring out what you can afford. So how do you determine what you can afford?
A good rule of thumb: Your monthly auto loan payment should not be more than 20 percent of the money you have available each month after you pay for your usual living expenses - rent or mortgage, utilities, food, transportation, credit card payments, etc. When reviewing your budget, you should also take into consideration other associated costs, including fuel, license, registration, personal property taxes, and insurance. Call your insurance company before you purchase your car to determine what the monthly insurance cost will be.
If you're taking out a car loan, figure on a down payment of at least 10 percent. Lenders might be skeptical otherwise. If you have enough cash available to boost that percentage, do so. Cutting the principal of your loan will do more to slash your payments than will getting a lower interest rate.
Be sure to check out alternate sources for loans such as the credit union at your workplace, your bank, or other organizations you are affiliated with. As a last resort, dealers may offer special financing packages for those with credit problems. However, you might pay as much as four percentage points more for a loan.
If you have ailing credit, which can result from a pattern of late payments, you may find yourself in the "sub-prime" financing arena.
If you have credit problems, you should first try to work with a consumer credit counselor or other advisor. It may be possible to consolidate debts or come up with a workable repayment plan. If you show a loan officer that you are taking action to overcome your credit problems, he or she may be more willing to grant a loan at a reasonable rate.
Happy Driving
Buying a used car involves some uncertainties, but the market has improved over the past few years. Cars are better made, have much improved safety systems, and, with proper maintenance, can last for many years . You can avoid many of the common pitfalls of purchasing a used vehicle by taking a few steps early in the process and answering certain questions before you start to shop. More important, new technologies being used by manufacturers and mechanics, combined with the availability of easy-to-access vehicle history information, go a long way toward leveling the playing field for today's used car shopper.

In-House Counsel
Top LSU Lawyer Resigns From $275K General Counsel Job, Will Now Work as Law School Prof
Posted Sep 7, 2012 10:58 AM CDT
By Martha Neil
After more than a decade on the job, the general counsel of Louisiana State University system resigned Thursday from his $275,000-a-year position, effective Friday, in what is apparently the latest move in a continuing shake-up that began after new members appointed by Gov. Bobby Jindal took control of the system's Board of Supervisors.
However, Ray Lamonica will stay on at LSU, returning to his job as a professor at the university's law school, according to the Associated Press and the LSU Reveille.
Lamonica did not give a reason for stepping down. His resignation follows, within the past few months, the firing of the former president of the LSU system, John Lombardi, and the resignation of Michael Martin, LSU's former chancellor, as well as, within recent weeks, the exit of two top officials in the university system's hospital and health care division, according to the Times-Picayune.
Interim LSU System President William Jenkins issued a written statement praising Lamonica: "Ray is a distinguished and brilliant attorney who helped lead us through the tough days, following Hurricane Katrina and who was instrumental in refining many of the LSU System bylaws and procedures," it states, crediting Lamonica for improvements that "tightened oversight of LSU System institutions, (and) set up a central audit committee, ensuring the financial and legal integrity of system operations as well as requiring (Board of Supervisors) approval of any project worth more than $100,000,"

The Mount Rushmore Army ROTC Battalion held their largest Commissioning Ceremony in 20 years.
The Commissioning Ceremony took place at Mount Rushmore Saturday afternoon with a graduating class of 11 cadets, which are now the rank of 2nd Lieutenant.
They each had to complete the leadership development course, four years of ROTC classes, and graduate with a bachelors degree.
Colonel Dean Shultis says graduating at Mount Rushmore itself is a great symbol for our nation.
"When you look at the backdrop you see some great Americans who were volunteers but what they do is absolutely no possible without the volunteer efforts of the cadets here today that make up the officer core of our Army," says Shultis.
The Lieutenants are recent graduates of the School of Mines, Black Hills State, and Chadron State Colleges.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
In between the men's shows and Couture (kicking off today), you could be forgiven for bypassing Bebelplatz. But Berlin fashion week, which ended yesterday, sent out several polished collections last week, and celebs like Tilda Swinton and Chloë Sevigny found time to touch down in the front rows.
For trend trackers, the seventies mood that prevailed for Spring may not be going anywhere soon: Rena Lange, Laurèl (above, right), Allude, and Schumacher worked a Me Decade vibe—think a long-locked and fresh-faced Meryl Streep as muse. For something a little more structured, Hugo by Hugo Boss turned out sleek, crisp daywear and cocktail looks in a palette of black, red, and white. (The elegant show at the Neue Nationalgalerie attracted the aforementioned celebs.) For Berlin's rowdy nightlife scene, Kaviar Gauche's PVC tees, paired with cream-colored silk trousers, could be a good bet; and Vladimir Karaleev's sculptural wool pieces (above, left), inspired by repeated listenings to Nirvana's Unplugged, have a grunge sensibility that feels as fresh now as it did the first time around.
Leyla Piedayesh's sophisticated and sexy Lala Berlin collection (above) continues to be a Berlin highlight. Inspired by children's arts and crafts, dresses, trousers, and full, boxy suits came printed in emerald, blue, and acid lemon, a pattern like marbled paper. The shimmery details on a tiny, slinky dress looked like glitter or sprinkles, but this was a grown-up collection.
