2.6 Kinzie Kensington
An obsessive-compulsive conspiracy theorist, Kinzie lost her job as an FBI agent when Matt Miller set her up for a major fall. People at the Bureau laughed at her when she insisted that the biggest threat to our national security was a 16-year-old kid, but once she proves that Matt Miller is a criminal mastermind, she'll be the one who's laughing.
Kinzie is good with computers, not people. She talks when she probably shouldn't, and is incredibly blunt. What others would interpret as dry humor is just Kin-zie being drop-dead serious. She is mousy and a little awkward. Physically she is most comfortable when sitting cross-legged in a chair, with her face buried in a laptop.
Story Arc
After getting too close to Matt Miller's operation, Kinzie is abducted by the Syndicate. When the Player rescues her, she is all too eager to get a chance to take out the Syndicate once and for all. Using her technological know-how, Kinzie proves to be a vital asset to the Saints, especially in dealing with the cybergang, the Deckers.


text: Q. I purchased a child's Cape Cod bracelet from Goldfinger Jewelers in Hyannis for my niece's 7th birthday last year. It did not fit. I called Goldfinger and was told that as long as the bracelet was not damaged (which it was not), I could return it for a bigger size and to include a check for postage. I returned the bracelet. My check was cashed Dec. 21, but still no bracelet. I called Goldfinger and was told they were behind in Christmas exchanges. I have called multiple times and have sent an e-mail. No word. I still would like the bracelet or my money back.

An admittedly tasteless joke....

Political correctness? Well, that can be described several ways.
My way is: Political correctness is the politically correct term for the kissing of *** of people who in no way, shape, or form deserve it. And the last time I checked....nobody deserves it.
Another way, as paraphrased from a quote by a military commander:
It is the mistaken belief that one can indeed pick up a turd from the clean end.
The problem of political correctness is that it is too blunt and direct. Ordinary politeness often works indirectly. Take the example of apologizing, the usual response is something like "no harm done, you have nothing to apologize for". Obviously this isn't literally true, of course there was something to apologize for, but the pretense serves to protect the relationship.
"How are you?" is also such a sincere lie. If you took it literally an appropriate response would be "that's none of your business" but the point is again to insert some form of excess friendliness into it. Even tough everybody knows that it is not a sincere question it does the trick, it works better as a greeting phase than a mere hello.
When you tell the truth and take a stand, sometimes it means that you will walk the streets with a burdened heart. Sometimes it means losing a job, means being abused and scorned. It may mean having a seven, eight year old child asking a daddy, "Why do you have to go to jail so much?" And I've long since learned that to be a follower to the Jesus Christ means taking up the cross. And my bible tells me that Good Friday comes before Easter. - MLK, Why I Am Opposed to the War in Vietnam

Item: A Study of Wind Drift Snow Phenomena on an Alpine Site
Title: A Study of Wind Drift Snow Phenomena on an Alpine Site
Proceedings: Proceedings of the 1992 International Snow Science Workshop, Breckenridge, Colorado, USA
- Gilbert Guyomarc'h
- Thierry Castelle
Date: 1992
Abstract: Over the last three winter seasons four laboratories specialized on snow research have joined their know how to better understand the mechanism of wind-transported snow in a project appropriately named «Snow and Wind». In this project several methods for studying the wind's effect on snow are investigated. In this paper, we will overview essentially the research conducted on: -the different wind-speed thresholds allowing drift in connection with snow grain types and snow cover surface and the characteristics of the blowing snow. -the spatial snow distribution using photogrammetric techniques. The group of laboratories have also investigated the: visualization of particles in movement and properties of snow reflectivity.

Day 5 of my juicing diet. Lol, I missed my breakfast again. It's a bit hard trying to get into the habit of eating breakfast when you haven't for like 2 – 3 years. I did however get my run in so I still feel good about that. Oh, and I had another tasty fruit juice for lunch. For dinner tonight i'm going out with some friends to go to Ruby Tuesdays. So we will just call this a cheat day.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Two BP employees have been indicted on manslaughter charges in the 2010 Gulf oil spill disaster. The federal indictment unsealed Thursday in New Orleans names BP well site leaders Robert Kaluza and Donald Vidrine.
The indictment claims they acted negligently in their supervision of key safety tests performed on the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig before an explosion killed 11 workers in April 2010.
The indictment says Kaluza and Vidrine failed to phone engineers onshore to alert them of problems in the drilling operation.
The charges come on the same day that BP announced that it has agreed to pay $4.5 billion in a settlement with the U.S. government to plead guilty to felony counts related to the deaths of 11 workers and lying to Congress.

Here at Field Gulls we've had discussions on just about every aspect of football, including having discussions about when we can or should have discussions about Fantasy. Well, this IS the place. You can, if you must, add fantasy talk in additional game threads, but be warned, someone may be watching, and they may be mocking. Here, you have free rein to talk your team's reign or your rain of injuries.
Something to note, and this should be a true football fan's golden ticket when it comes to heaven and hell and the voiding of the warranty on your soul.
The first rule of Fantasy Football, you do NOT root for players against your favorite team.
The second rule of Fantasy Football, you do NOT root for players against your favorite team.
On this site, NEVER cheer against the Seahawks due to your fantasy roster. My personal rule is to avoid as much as possible acquiring division rivals, or to avoid playing them against the Seahawks if reasonably possible. Statements like, "Well, at least I have Larry Fitzgerald on my fantasy team" (if) he was scorching the Hawks will unleash the hounds of hell upon you. Please don't be that one bastard playing the "Don't Come" line at the craps table. Not only will you bring bad mojo to everybody, but you'll likely get verbally harassed, if not banned. You're a Seahawk fan, you aren't "that guy" you are one of OUR guys—act like it!
The NFL season may still be a jockeying for playoff position, but this is playoff week for a lot of you.
The interesting thing about Fantasy Playoffs is the lack of connection to the real playoffs. I've even heard it called the Peyton factor. You know what I'm referring to—that team that finished your league regular season 3 games up in first place, but they have Peyton Manning leading them, and come fantasy playoff time he's phasing down as the Colts "get healthy" for the NFL playoffs. I've seen this destroy many a so-called well constructed fantasy team.
There may even be a lesson in that for us… but I don't know if it is for GM's drafting fantasy teams to avoid the Colts, or for the Colts to learn their lesson and stop going into cruise control come week 14 just to lose in their first playoff game.
I personally made the playoffs in one league while going 6-7. I still am convinced my team is dangerous for the playoffs, but I had a really bad QB matchup—a struggling Carson Palmer vs. Minnesota. I picked up Vince Young earlier in the week, but he's now listed as questionable and didn't practice Friday—not a good sign. I went back to the waiver wire and found Hasselbeck sitting there. Hey, if I'm going to lose, I might as well lose with MY QB, DAMMIT. C'mon, Matty. Pull one more great one out for me, and of course-- the Hawks.
Pickups of the week – Quinton Ganther, RB Washington. Chris Brown, RB Houston. With Clinton Portis and Ladell Betts on the IR, Ganther is a starter by default. With Steve Slaton on IR, someone is going to get the carries in Houston, we just don't know who yet. Being that Brown has already also gotten the goal line looks, he's your man. Pick them both up for bench strength, but sit Brown against Seattle's stout run D this week.
Drop of the Week – Steve Slaton, RB Houston. Projected for 14th overall in Yahoo's rankings, he went on the IR a disappointing 64th overall with 4 games to play. Matt Forte owners are all wishing it was their guy that went down instead, to put them out of suffering. And seeing how Chicago plays Green Bay this week, safe to say the suffering will continue.
Start of the Week – Ray Rice RB Baltimore (vs. Detroit). Last week was the first week all season Rice did not go over 100 combined yards from scrimmage, and Baltimore is hurting right now, but Detroit is hurting worse. Look for the Ravens to ride Rice to a win while they keep themselves in the wildcard hunt.
That's it for this week. Good luck for those of you in the playoffs!

Select Route:
This is a long, fantastic pitch of thin ice that forms up infrequently. It is located in the south fork of Deadman Gulch, which is a side drainage in the lower part of South Saint Vrain Canyon, 3.6 miles up CO Hwy 7 from the west end of Lyons (0.0 mile is the intersection of US Hwy 36 and CO 7). Parking is difficult after snow storms due to the plowed snowbanks along the hwy -- if the snowbanks are gone, it's a good bet the ice is as well.
Get a map (USGS Lyons Quad is a good choice) and find Deadman Gulch (about 1.5 miles east of Coffintop Mtn, and north of CO Hwy 7). Note the intermittent stream on the map: the route is located in the south fork of the gulch, above the left branch of the stream. It is not visible from the road. There's a 200-foot wall on the north-facing slope of the south fork; the climb goes right up the middle of the wall. This wall is the same rock band that wraps around a knoll to become December Wall on the opposite side.
Short and medium screws, a light rock rack, and several long slings. The rock protection is not obvious -- search left and right of the route. Most of the ice was 3-8 inches thick in the conditions we found. A long screw is useful for the belay. You may want Screamers for the stubbies.

The Origin of Prospect Theory, or Testing the Intuitive Statistician
AbstractThe origin of prospect theory is the desire to test the intuitive statistician in the real world. The development of this theory by the cognitive psychologists Kahneman and Tversky can be traced to the formers work in cognitive psychophysics, in which deviations from average behavior are termed (statistical) errors; and the latters work on decision theory, with its normative vs. descriptive framework. The combination of these two types of probabilistic psychology culminated in a new descriptive theory of human decision making in the real world, coined Heuristics and Biases. The 1979 Econometrica article applies this new descriptive theory to economists EUT. It equates the intuitive statistician with the rational economic man and shows how it descriptively fails.

The Cleveland Browns watched their quarterback go down and their faint playoff disappear on Sunday, with Jason Campbell sustaining a concussion.
Campbell was knocked out for good in the third quarter with a concussion, leaving the Browns fans in the cold to watch Brandon Weeden make a comeback attempt. Ultimately, he fell very short in a 27-11 defeat at home.
Campbell will go through the NFL protocol for concussions, putting him through a battery of tests. His status for next week will not be determined for at least a few days.
In the same game, Pittsburgh lost nose tackle Steve McLendon to what is thought to be a season-ending broken ankle. Also, cornerback Curtis Brown went down in the contest with an apparent knee injury. He was not hit or hitting on the play, and remained on the turf afterwards in obvious pain. He did not return to the game.

Hello Jets fans, lifelong Giants fan here wondering if you can shed a little light on the new "Ring of Honor" the Jets are doing. I read an article on both the New York Times, and YahooSports websites listing the players who will be receiving this fine accolade (Joe Namath and Curtis Martin among other former Jet greats), but neither went into detail as to what this Ring of Honor will actually be.
No offense to Jet fans, but I really hope I'm not going to be looking at big green banners of Weeb Ewbank, Winston Hill, and Joe Klecko inside the New Meadowlands Stadium while I'm watching the Giants trounce the Cowboys. The same way I'm sure you wouldn't want to see banners of Taylor, Simms, Strahan, etc, etc while you're beating up on the Pats.
Does anyone now what or where this Ring of Honor will exactly be?

Abstract—We advance new active object recognition algorithms that classify rigid objects and estimate their pose from intensity images. Our algorithms automatically detect if the class or pose of an object is ambiguous in a given image, reposition the sensor as needed, and incorporate data from multiple object views in determining the final object class and pose estimate. A probabilistic feature space trajectory (FST) in a global eigenspace is used to represent 3D distorted views of an object and to estimate the class and pose of an input object. Confidence measures for the class and pose estimates, derived using the probabilistic FST object representation, determine when additional observations are required as well as where the sensor should be positioned to provide the most useful information. We demonstrate the ability to use FSTs constructed from images rendered from computer-aided design models to recognize real objects in real images and present test results for a set of metal machined parts.

Alistair Overeem training with Badr Hari?
You'd better believe it. The once bitter K-1 kickboxing rivals are now training together. The top UFC heavyweight contender posted the above photo to his Instagram account earlier today saying: "Badr Hari & me at mikes gym after a great training session. The REEM vs Badr III might just happen... In training." Overeem and Hari split their first two meetings, knocking each other out in both matches. Do you think this collaboration will be helpful for Overeem's career?

In the past few years, the Boston Red Sox have attempted to sign Jacoby Ellsbury to a long-term deal. The two sides were continually unable to agree on a multi-year scenario which resulted in annual one year contracts, just to avoid arbitration.
Now, the 29-year-old outfielder is apparently more open to signing that long term deal but the Red Sox would prefer to wait until season end, this according to a report from WEEI.
Per Alex Speier:
(Red Sox GM) Cherington suggested that the Sox expect that the team will not engage in contract talks with the 29-year-old until after the season.
For Ellsbury, the first quarter of the 2013 season has been an up and down process. He's stealing bases at a much more frequent pace, one shy of eclipsing last seasons total of 13 (which he did in 74 games), but he's struggling to actually get on base – currently hitting a paltry .249 with a .318 OBP.
There's no reason to think regression though, at least not if you're GM Ben Cherington, who says Ellsubry's proven track record will result in a turn around:
By far, the best outcome for all of us is for Jacoby to feel good, be productive in the leadoff spot. That helps him, helps us win games and I still think that's going to happen."

HER2 Status Affects Diagnosis and Treatment of Breast Cancer:
HER2, which is also called HER2/neu, and HER-2, is the acronym for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2. Knowing your HER2 status is an important part of your diagnosis.
What is HER2?:
HER2 is a gene that sends control signals to your cells, telling them to grow, divide, and make repairs. A healthy breast cell has 2 copies of the HER2 gene. Some kinds of breast cancer get started when a breast cell has more than 2 copies of that gene, and those copies start over-producing the HER2 protein. As a result, the affected cells grow and divide much too quickly.
Since HER2 is a gene, is it inherited?:
This genetic problem is not inherited from your parents. The most likely cause of this problem is aging, and wear and tear on the body. It is not yet known if environmental factors (pollution, smoke, fumes) are part of the cause of this problem.
Positive vs. Negative Test Results:
If your breast cancer is tested for HER2 status, the results will be graded as positive or negative. If your results are graded as HER2 positive, that means that your HER2 genes are over-producing the HER2 protein, and that those cells are growing rapidly and creating the cancer. If your results are graded HER2 negative, then the HER2 protein is not causing the cancer.
What treatment is used for HER2 positive breast cancer?:
Herceptin (trastuzumab) is a drug which is currently being used to treat HER2 positive breast cancer. It is a targeted therapy, and is also referred to as an immune treatment. This drug will be given intravenously, once every 2-3 weeks. Once it is in your system, Herceptin targets the HER2 protein production. This helps to stop the growth of the HER2 positive cancer cells.
What can Herceptin do for HER2 positive breast cancer?:
Some results of Herceptin treatment include:
- shrinks HER2 positive tumors, before surgery
- gets rid of HER2 positive cancer cells that have spread beyond the original tumor
- helps prevent recurrence (return) of the HER2 positive cancer if it was a 2 cm. or larger tumor, or if the cancer had spread to the lymph nodes.
What are the tests for HER2 breast cancer?:
- IHC: ImmunoHistoChemistry - this test measures the production of the HER2 protein by the tumor. The test results are ranked as 0, 1+, 2+, or 3+. If the results are 3+, your cancer is HER2-positive.
- FISH: Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization - this test uses fluorescent probes to look at the number of HER2 gene copies in a tumor cell. If there are more than 2 copies of the HER2 gene, then the cancer is HER2 positive.
Sign up for a free e-course for Newly Diagnosed Breast Cancer Patients.
Quick Summary:
HER2 positive breast cancer is diagnosed by the IHC or FISH test. A result of HER 2 positive is important, as it indicates that the cancer can be treated with Herceptin, in combination with other chemotherapy drugs. If your cancer is diagnosed as HER2 positive, it is most likely aggressive. Starting treatment as soon as possible will help improve your survival, as well as help to prevent recurrence.

Is there a cover up of the Benghazi attack?
To the Editor:
The Obama Administration would seem to be covering up the alleged cover up in regard to the Benghazi attack that occurred several months ago. Cable news is reporting that there were several witnesses to the attack who have been threatened by "authorities" to keep quiet about this or chance losing their jobs or worse.
Bribery has also been offered to these witnesses who come home to receive "medals of bravery" as long as they swear to keep quiet. These witnesses are now called "whistleblowers" who saw "things" that were never reported about the Benghazi attack. One of these "whistleblowers," who had his voice and appearance disguised, said that there would have been plenty of time for a rescue force to be in Benghazi to stave off the second attack. This force was never given the order. Why?
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to deduct that someone high up in the Obama administration has something major to hide in regard to this massacre. There are just too many questions about this that still remain unanswered, and the Obama administration doesn't seem to think it's important.
Isn't the slaying of four brave Americans important enough? Americans need honest answers to this and other questions, not continued cover-ups through lies and distortions. Freedom-loving Americans know that the Obama administration reeks of corruption throughout, and these brave "whistleblowers" may be the key to exposing some of it, which the Administration fears, with 2014 being a major election year for the Left. Stay tuned. This could get very interesting.
Side note: Is the Administration now using Syria to steer everyone's attention away from Benghazi?

SANYO 'eneloop' Provides Sustainable Solution for Music Industry – 'eneloop music booster' Rechargeable DC 9V Battery Unit for Music Devices
SANYO 'eneloop' Provides Sustainable Solution for Music Industry – 'eneloop music booster' Rechargeable DC 9V Battery Unit for Music Devices
Convenient rechargeable battery pack provides consistent, long-lasting sound quality
January 14, 2010
Anaheim, CA, January 14, 2010 – SANYO North America Corporation (SANYO),
a Leading Company for Energy and Environment, introduces the 'eneloop music booster', a rechargeable DC 9V battery unit for music devices, as a new addition to the 'eneloop universe' product series. The 'eneloop music booster' rechargeable battery will be available in late spring 2010 at music specialty stores nationwide.
The 'eneloop music booster' will be displayed at the NAMM Show 2010, the world's largest musical instrument trade show, from January 14 to 17, 2010 in Booth 7013.
SANYO, utilizing its background as a world-leading rechargeable battery supplier, realized the need in the music industry for portable, stable, and reusable power, the type that rechargeable batteries can provide. In developing the 'eneloop music booster', SANYO hopes to make the music industry more aware of how energy is used, and to promote lifestyles of reusing and recycling.
Power is needed for many music devices, including effects units, amps, graphic equalizers, and multi-track recorders, which is typically provided through an AC adapter or a 9V dry cell battery (9V laminated battery). Musicians using AC adapters are limited to performance locations with electrical outlets, and are faced with issues where AC power causes nearby electrical equipment to generate noise interference. While 9V dry cell batteries offer the convenience of portability, dry cell batteries need to be replaced before exhausted to prevent any disruption during a performance, wasting of battery power, inconveniencing the musician and creating more waste. The SANYO 'eneloop music booster' has been designed to offer stable, long-lasting portable 9V power with a high-capacity rechargeable lithium-ion battery to encourage a music style that matches the eneloop lifestyle of reusing and recycling energy for music devices.
"SANYO will reshape the way the music industry uses power, by offering our battery technologies like those found in the eneloop music booster for musicians to help them support a lifestyle that values reusing and recycling," said Tom Van Voy, General Manager of the Consumer Products Group for SANYO North America. "We are committed to providing energy and environment-related solutions for professionals and consumers, and the eneloop music booster allows us to do both in one package."
Main Features
1. Portable, rechargeable 9V power supply
- Use anywhere as a truly portable power source
- Reusable rechargeable high-capacity lithium-ion battery
- Dual output supports power two 9V music devices simultaneously (max output of 2,000mA if using one, or 1,000mA per port when using both)
2. Stable voltage providing consistent, long-lasting sound quality
- Voltage boosting technology helps maintain steady voltage until power is exhausted
- Stability from unique blend of SANYO technologies offers long-lasting power for consistent sound quality
3. Three-stage remaining power indicator shows battery level at a glance, even during use
- Equipped with three-stage LED light that changes color to indicate remaining power level (over 60% indicated in Green, 30%~60% remaining indicated in Orange, and less than 30% indicated by Red)
- Indicator is viewable even during performance
- Convenient on/off switch to turn off multiple devices simultaneously, especially useful for effects units that normally have to be unplugged manually
4. Water Resistant
- Water resistant to JIS IPX3 compliance level (Japanese testing standard for water resistance, no damage when sprayed with water in vertical position at angles of up to 60 degrees on both sides)
5. Other Features
- No noise interference from surrounding electric equipment as occurs with AC power

|Simon Cowell called me back and said, "Just come back next year, don't give up." I was debating whether to go back this year, I was supposed to be doing a re-sit exam. Then, just the day before, I thought I would do it and got the train and went. In my head, I was thinking, third time lucky. And it was!

Jade Amelia Thirwall (born on December 26, 1992; age 21) is a member of the British girl group Little Mix, along with Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, and Leigh-Anne Pinnock.
Early Life
Jade was born in South Shields, United Kingdom, to single mother Norma and lived with her brother Karl. At first, she was a student and participated in various singing contests in the area. She is close friends with The X Factor season 6 winner, Joe McElderry, who is also from South Shields. The pair used to duet together.She began singing at an early age and from the age of 3, until she was 15, she attended Steps Dance & Fitness in South Shields, where her dance instructor was Pam Eglintine, who said Jade was "always a good singer and used to work really hard in everything she did. Jade is quite a quiet kind of girl who just gets on with things. As she progressed with the dancing, I knew she was going to be a star because she just has that natural ability... She's got an amazing voice. Even from a young age, she had a strong voice."
At the age of 9, Jade joined Performers' Stage School in her hometown. When she was 13, in year 9 at St Wilfrid's Community College, secondary school in South Shields, Jade was asked to sing in the school assembly and joined the choir. Delia McNally, Jade's teacher at St Wilfrid's, recalled, "Jade performed many times at school and sang at our tsunami relief concert in support of World Challenge."
Jade remembers, "I did little school plays and musicals." From the age of 16, she performed in pubs and clubs. Jade's mother, Norma, said, "Jade would be doing a gig and she'd invite Joe McElderry, to sing with her. They also appeared at festivals and charity gigs together."
The X Factor (2011)
Jade auditioned for The X Factor once in 2008 and again in 2010, but was rejected due to her lack of confidence. Her third attempt was in 2011 when she auditioned with "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" by The Beatles.
She was eliminated in bootcamp, but the judges decided to give her another chance and was put in a girl group called "Orion" with then fellow contestant Leigh-Anne Pinnock.
When even that group failed to make it through, a later decision saw two members (Thirlwall and Pinnock) being called back to form a group with two other girls who had failed to make it through like them. They named their group "Rhythmix", which was later changed to "Little Mix", following an argument with a charity of the same name.
On December 11, 2011, Little Mix became the first group in the 8 year run of the show to win the competition, which was followed by the release of the winner's single "Cannonball" which hit the #1 position in 3 different countries.
Following The X Factor, the girls signed a contract with Sony Music subsidiary Syco Music.
Through a live stream via Twitcam they revealed that their debut single will be called "Wings".
Little Mix announced their debut album in September 2012 called DNA, which was released on November 19, 2012, and included UK Top 20 Chart Hits "DNA", "Change Your Life", and "How Ya Doin'?".

I've been lucky enough to travel to all 50 states in the U.S. - I've lived on both coasts and my work has allowed me to spend plenty of time abroad as well. So when my family decided that we were going to have a reunion in Southwestern Colorado, well... let's just say it wasn't the first place I thought of. Now...I am soooo glad that's where we went. And in the heart of it all was one of the quaintest towns I'd ever visited...Pagosa Springs.
Pagosa Springs is nestled amid some of the most beautiful scenery I've seen. The rugged mountains surrounding this city are the backdrop to beautiful rivers and streams that flow in and around this mountain paradise. Pagosa Springs sits at about 7,000 feet above sea level and that means clean air with crisp mountain mornings year round. The air seems cleaner and sweeter up here and you're invigorated for adventure every day!
This charming city is your own launch pad to play in the mountains and discover year round fun - from skiing and snowmobiling in the winter to fly-fishing, hiking and mountain biking in the summer, Pagosa Springs has something for everyone. But no matter what you want to do...don't forget your camera! Seriously, it seems like every bend around every trail, or every time you drive around another corner, there's a picture just waiting to be taken. As an amateur photographer, I instantly fell in love with this place!

The Timberwolf who played the 29th fewest minutes for the franchise (146) is a recent retiree whose name is an anagram for "Ball, Red Rim." If you aren't sure who this is, maybe A Career In Pictures will help:
This center was an Indiana native who led Purdue to four straight March Madness appearances, in the process setting many records, including becoming the first player in school history to have 1,500 points, 800 rebounds and 250 assists. His totals have since been eclipsed by Timberwolves' draftee Robbie Hummell (!).
When he graduated, the NBA was having a lockout and he played three months in Italy. Undrafted, he eventually signed with the Charlotte Hornets and played for them for two seasons.
He signed as a free agent with the Bulls, where he once enraged Shaq.
Two years later, he was traded as part of a six-player deal to the Indiana Pacers. During his sole season there, he was named to the All-Star team, sharing with Ben Wallace the feat of being the first undrafted players to become All-Stars.
In 2003, he was dealt to Sacramento in a sign-and-trade. He was the perfect big man for Rick Adelman's Kings and stayed with the franchise for six years. In 2006 he was the first center in 25 years to have a back-to-back double-double in assists and points.
In 2009, he was part of a five-player trade that sent him back to Chicago for a year.
A free agent in 2010, he signed with the Rockets, reuniting him with Adelman.
He enjoyed dancing with Pek so much that he was happy to be traded over the next off-season to Minnesota, where he would play on a third team for Adelman. After rehabbing from knee surgery, he played the last four months of the season for the Wolves before retiring. Who consoled him? None other than his erstwhile dance partner, Pek.
Brad Miller, your tenure as a Wolf was not long, but you seemed to be a great teammate. For this, and for your long career as one of the best-passing and shooting centers the NBA has ever seen, we salute you.

Hi! Nancy speaking. Let's get some facts down, shall we? I'm a sophomore in high school. I'm currently co-writing a book series with my best friend. (If you're reading this Chyna, Team Akamori~! Because everyone knows Kai can kick Alois's ass!) Just a tad bit sadistic. (; I'm a sucker for romance stories. I don't write often. Don't get me wrong, I love writing.

If the popularity of this full-flavored gumbo at Delmonico Steakhouse in Vegas is any indication, there won't be any leftovers!
This recipe for bone-in rib-eyes comes straight from Delmonico Steakhouse in Las Vegas. The Marchand du Vin sauce only takes a few minutes to put together and it is totally worth it. You can find demi-glace online or at your local gourmet grocery store. If you can't find it, substitute a small amount of beef bouillon for flavor.
Extra virgin olive oils, balsamic vinegars, and pastas, lots to choose from.

All the great features enable Matrix CUBE to help you explore every small detail in the music and provide you a tactile sensation of its sound performance. It has ultra-high resolution and signal-to-noise ratio. We believe this product will fully meet your requirements of high-quality Hi-Fi experience.
· The award winning top shelf 24 bit/ 192 kHz D/A converting unit - Wolfson WM8740
· High-end digital sampling rate increase processing chip - TI SRC4382
· ASRC (Asynchronous Sample Rate Converter) - the technique of separating the internal and external clock and re-sampling, which effectively reduces the timing jitter generated by the former sources and transmission lines
· A professional digital receiver chip of ultra-low jitter and a high-precision clock independent system
· USB, optical, coaxial digital inputs and a coaxial output that supports multiple channel pass-through
· Up to 24 bit/192 kHz digital signal input via s/pdif input channels
· Digital signals can be up-sampled to 174.6 KHz /192KHz and put out through digital channel
· The internal headphone amp unit can easily drive any headphones of 300 ohms and below
· Headphone amplifier can work independently when it is connected to external signal source
· Professional stereo OP-Amp, OPA2134/LM833, are used to provide you with the best signal playback effect
· Multi-stage stabilized voltage supply unit
ASRC Sampling Rate
When the ASRC switch on the front panel is turned ON, the CUBE will resample the input signal to 176.4/192 kHz according to an high-precision internal clock, keeping away the original clock coming with the signal, which effectively reduces the timing jitter generated by the former sources and transmission lines.
When ASRC is OFF, the CUBE will convert D/A according to the original input sampling rate. The frequency of ASRC output depends on the sampling rate of the input signal.
If the sampling rate of the input signal is 44.1 kHz or its integral multiples, the ASRC output sampling rate will be 176.4 kHz; when it is 48kHz or integral multiples, the ASRC output sampling rate will be 192 kHz.
Headphone Output
The high-quality standard 1/4"stereo headphone plug-jack on the front panel can drive any headphone of 300 ohms and below, which makes it very convenient to use your headphone. Use the volume control knob on the front panel to adjust the volume.
When the "Amplifier" switch on the front panel is switched to the position of Internal, the internal amplifier circuit will be connected to the internal output of CUBE and directly monitor the output signal.
When it is switched to External, the amp unit will be connected to the external input and monitor external audio signal via the analog input ports. Meanwhile, the DAC unit of the CUBE works unaffectedly.
Coaxial Digital Output
The CUBE possesses a coaxial digital output. The output state depends on the condition of the output channel. This channel directly outputs current digital signals. When the ASRC on the front panel is switched off, the CUBE will output the original code such as AC-3, DTS and so on. When the ASRC is turned on, the CUBE will increase the sampling rate to 176.4/192 KHz. It is also very convenient to connect it with other digital audio equipment or AC-3, DTS decoders.
USB Driver
The CUBE's USB interface works without any extra driver under Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7, Linux, Mac OS X. However it does not support AC-3, DTS stream signal transmission unless an extra driver is installed. With the extra driver, Xear™ Virtual 3D processing and 10-band equalizer is supported.

Information about Enrolled Agents
1. What is an enrolled agent? (updated 11/8/11)
An enrolled agent is a person who has earned the privilege of representing taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service. Enrolled agents, like attorneys and certified public accountants (CPAs), are unrestricted as to which taxpayers they can represent, what types of tax matters they can handle, and which IRS offices they can represent clients before.
2. How do you become an enrolled agent? (posted 11/8/11)
Follow these steps to become an EA:
- Obtain a Preparer Tax Identification Number;
- Apply to take the Special Enrollment Examination (SEE);
- Achieve passing scores on all 3 parts of the SEE;*
- Apply for enrollment; and
- Pass a tax compliance check to ensure that you have filed all necessary tax returns and there are no outstanding tax liabilities.
*Certain IRS employees, by virtue of past technical experience, are exempt from the exam requirement.
Review the Candidate Information Bulletin (pdf) to get started.
3. How much does it cost to take the Special Enrollment Examination? (posted 4/25/13)
There is a $105 fee paid at the time of appointment scheduling. The test fee is non-refundable and non-transferable. Please refer to the Candidate Information Bulletin to read the policy on rescheduling appointments.
4. Is it possible to become an enrolled agent if I have or have had problems with my personal tax obligations? (posted 11/8/11)
Failure to timely file tax returns or to pay your taxes may be grounds for denying an application for enrollment. The Return Preparer Office will review all of the facts and circumstances to determine whether a denial of enrollment is warranted.
5. How can I check on the status of my enrolled agent application? (updated 11/25/13)
Form 23 takes 60 days to process. If you haven't received a response after 60 days, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com or call (855) 472-5540. Please be sure to include your full name and address.

7. Do enrolled agents have any continuing education requirements? (posted 4/25/13)
Enrolled agents must obtain a minimum of 72 hours per enrollment cycle (every three years). Additionally, they must also obtain a minimum of 16 hours of continuing education (including 2 hours of ethics or professional conduct) each enrollment year.
8. If I live outside the U.S. am I required to obtain a PTIN prior to becoming an enrolled agent? (posted 4/25/13)
Yes, all applicants must have a Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN) issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in order to register to take the examination. Obtain a PTIN at www.irs.gov/ptin.
SEE Content/Scoring
1. What is covered on the SEE? (posted 11/8/11)
The SEE contains three parts as follows:
2. How many questions are on each part of the examination? (updated 4/25/13)
Each part of the SEE contains 100 questions. 85 questions are scored questions. 15 questions are experimental questions and are not scored.
3. How do I prepare for the test? Are there any study materials? (posted 4/25/13)
In studying for the examination, you may wish to refer to the Internal Revenue Code, Circular 230, IRS publications, as well as IRS tax forms and accompanying instructions. Circular 230, IRS publications, as well as tax forms and accompanying instructions are online at www.irs.gov. This material is also available from the IRS in DVD format at a cost of $30. To order the IRS Tax Products DVD (Publication 1796) by phone, call 877.233.6767. There is an additional $5 handling fee if ordered by phone. To avoid the handling fee, the DVD can be ordered via the Web at www.ntis.gov/products/irsdvd.aspx. The Tax DVD has IRS tax forms, instructions and publications in an easy-to-use format, and includes a copy of the Internal Revenue Code and links to other Tax Research materials.
There is also a test tutorial that can be viewed at: www.prometric.com/see
4. What is the time limit for each part of the examination? (posted 7/17/06)
Each part is 3.5 hours long. The actual seat time is 4 hours to allow for a tutorial and survey.
5. What is the weight of each question? (posted 7/17/06)
Each item is weighted equally.
6. Do the questions change from year to year? (updated 4/25/13)
A new exam is introduced each May based on tax law through December 31 of the previous year.
7. Do you have to take each part of the examination in order (Part 1 first; then Part 2; then Part 3)? (posted 4/25/13)
No, examinations can be taken in any order. Each exam part may be taken 4 times per testing window, which runs from May 1 to February 28.
8. Is the examination offered year round? (posted 4/25/13)
The test is offered from May 1 to February 28 of the following year. The test is not offered during the annual blackout period in March and April. During this time the test is updated for the most recent tax law.
SEE Availability/Scheduling
1. After I register to take the Special Enrollment Exam, how long do I have to schedule an appointment to test? (updated 4/25/13)
Your examination appointment must be scheduled within one year of the date of registration. If space permits, you may register and schedule up to 2 days prior to your test date.
2. I previously passed parts of the exam, how long can I carryover those scores? (posted 11/8/11)
Candidates who pass a part of the examination can carryover passing scores up to two years from the date the candidate took the examination. For example, if a candidate took and passed part 1 on November 15, 2010 and passed part 2 on February 15, 2011, that individual has until November 14, 2012 to pass the remaining part otherwise he/she loses credit for part 1. On February 14, 2013, if that individual still has not passed all other parts of the examination, he/she loses credit for part 2.
3. How can I get more information or ask a question about the Special Enrollment Exam if I live overseas? (posted 2/5/14)
Phone numbers for candidates testing outside the United States can be found by going to www.prometric.com/see and clicking on "Contact Numbers-Including International Contacts", which is on the left margin of the page.
Test Center Environment
1. Will the tests be open book or resource assisted? (posted 11/8/11)
The examinations are closed book, so no reference materials, papers or study materials are allowed at the test center. You will not be able to leave the testing room with a copy of any notes taken during the examination. Some examination questions may contain excerpts from the Internal Revenue Code or Income Tax Regulations.
2. What should I bring to the test? (updated 4/25/13)
Please bring with you one unexpired U.S. government issued photo ID that includes your name, photo, and signature. Your first and last name must exactly match the first and last name used to register for the examination. Failure to provide appropriate identification at the time of the examination is considered a missed appointment. As a result, you forfeit your examination fee.
Paper, pencil and a calculator will be provided at the test site. Personal items are not allowed in the test room and must be stored in a locker. Persons not scheduled to take a test are not permitted to wait in the test center.
3. Why can't we have food or water in the testing room? (updated 4/25/13)
There are three reasons candidates may not bring in food or water into the testing room. First, it minimizes the opportunities for cheating. Second, it avoids possible damage to computer equipment from spillage. Third, eating and drinking can be a distraction to other test takers.
Test Results
1. How do I obtain my SEE results? (posted 11/8/11)
Examination results are available immediately upon completion of the examination.
2. Do I have to send my test results to the IRS? (posted 11/8/11)
No. They will automatically be shared with the IRS and IRS records will be updated accordingly.
3. If you don't grade on a curve and there is no predetermined pass rate, how do you determine if a person passes or fails? Do you have a predetermined passing score?
(updated 4/25/13)
Each item is worth one point. The passing score was determined by the IRS following a cut score study. The cut score study followed a modified Angoff method for establishing the cut score. A panel of subject matter experts composed of enrolled agents and IRS representatives developed a definition of the minimally qualified candidate. Using this definition, they considered each item on the base form and estimated the difficulty of the item for the minimally qualified or borderline candidate. The results of these estimates were analyzed and presented to the IRS for final decision. Once the passing score was determined for the base form, the test developer Prometric began using a statistical equating process to ensure comparability of scores on all forms. Scaled scores are used to report the scores. The tests have been developed to identify the passing candidate from the failing candidate. We do not use either normal distribution or a preconceived pass rate to establish the passing score.
4. How can I determine what the passing percentage is? Is it 60%, 70%, 80% or something different? (posted 11/22/06)
The purpose of a scaled score is to provide a standardized way of reporting test scores to failing candidates when multiple test forms are used. Passing candidates will receive notification of having passed because the test has been designed to identify those who should pass not to rank order the test takers.
Scaled scores are determined by calculating the number of questions answered correctly from the total number of questions in the examination and converting to a scale that ranges from 40 to 130. The IRS has set the scaled passing score at 105, which corresponds to a minimum level of knowledge deemed acceptable by those persons who will be practicing before the IRS. Failing candidates are provided a scaled score value so that they may see how close they are to being successful. Candidates that receive a scaled score of 104 are very close to passing. Candidates with a scaled score of 45 are far from being successful.
5. Once I have passed all three parts of the SEE how do I officially become an enrolled agent? (updated 4/25/13)
Submit a completed Form 23, Application for Enrollment to Practice before the IRS, along with a check for $30 to the address listed on the Form. Please allow 60 days for processing.

Trees are now covering 30 percent of Portland.
A Portland Parks and Recreation aerial imagery study shows that Portland's urban tree canopy has grown by 2.6 percent over the last 10 years.
The study is based on aerial images from 2000, 2005 and 2010 and reveals citywide and zoning class urban forest cover change.
Over the 10-year period, canopy increases were seen across all zoning classes.
Tree canopy cover increased by 3.4 percent in commercial areas, 1.5 percent in industrial areas, 1.5 percent in open space and 3.3 percent in residential areas.
The tree canopy now covers 29.9 percent of the city.
The city's goal is to reach 33 percent by 2030.
The next monitoring phase will happen in 2015.

Well Pasqolini is gone, took a college HC job.
From what I see on blogging the boys, the Cowboys are even interviewing Rob Ryan. Along with previous targets Manusky, and Fangio. Who apparently are both hired by other teams. Steelers secondary coach Ray Horton is another target.
Anyways, a Ryan in Dallas would be quite the circus.
Looks like Garrett is doing the interviewing, so it's a good test to see if Garrett can pick a good assistant.
It's good to see Jerry once again saving the cowboys by addressing the DC position though. Combined with a soft schedule I'm very high on the Cowboys for next year, granted Garret is not a great OC. He is a decent to good one though. I dunno if he's super bowl caliber, but he's 11-5 caliber. And you can always get lucky in the playoffs.
Also interesting fodder about how the Rangers and Texans remain totally irrelevant while Jerry has the Cowboys a bigger draw than ever: http://www.bloggingtheboys.com/2011/1/14/1934753/2010-nfl-season-is-most-viewed-ever-cowboys-remain-biggest-draw
The NFL has, of course, traditionally done well on TV, but this year's success is truly unprecedented: for the first time, an NFL game was the most-watched show among all programs in each of the season's 17 weeks. Five years ago, not a single game made it into the Top 15.
And the most watched team among the top 19 games? The Cowboys of course, despite or perhaps even because of their dismal 6-10 record. The top rated game? The Cowboys' Thanksgiving game against the Saints.
Also, thought this was funny given the media's bias towards the politically correct AFC, and jives with my personal preferences. Most times I'm much more interested in an NFC game (not always though, Balt-Pitt is the game of the playoffs).
At least one NFC East team played in 11 of the top 19 games, as did the NFC North. Only one game out of the 19 did not feature either a team from the NFC East or a team from the NFC North, and that was the 14th-ranked Jets v. Steelers game.
Well anyway, I'm guessing the Cowboys move quick on a DC. Poor Cahill, first the Texans proved me right by hiring a DC, now the Cowboys will be much better (probably) by bringing in a DC. A double whammy.
This posting software is just horrible. I blame George Soros. Or Fox News. It must be Fox News fault. Like global warming.

Just indicative of how the Grammy's, despite all the lipservice, are not really about 'music' but are about money and hype and not really about the art itself. I was disappointed, but not altogether surprised at the way they ignored BD's long overdue award. Thanks for putting this up so quickly so we could hear from his son.
For some perspective, bear in mind how the Beatles have fared at the Grammy's.
February 2nd, 2010 at 11:02 am
Well said! I saw a lot of overproduced production numbers on the Grammys, style over talent–but precious little in the way of honoring artists who have truly contributed to the musical landscape.

Pupils give reaction to voting age bill
A bill to lower the voting age to 16 in the independence referendum has been formally lodged in the Scottish Parliament.
The idea was agreed in principal last year and if it passes, it will be the first time in the UK a national poll has been extended to include 16 and 17-year-olds.
Pupils from Earlston High School in the Scottish Borders have been giving their views on the bill:
