A good many women now succeeding in the law and elsewhere are unaware or even dismissive of their debt to their predecessors, including Ms. Povich and others like her, whose courage and determination started breakdowns in the old barriers and made it possible for the generations following them to progress as they have. I hope that books like Povich's and posts like the one above will help to fix that lack of understanding.

I was a police reporter at daily newspapers before I became a lawyer - trust me, the Old Boys Club is still alive and well in both professions. Lawyers just pretend to be more enlightened about it.

Ms. Esq. is right, of course. But it used to be worse.

Steady Howell solid at Tshwane Open (From This Is Wiltshire)
Steady Howell solid at Tshwane Open
4:21pm Friday 28th February 2014 in Sport By Michael Reeves, Sports reporter, email@example.com, @michaelreeves78
DAVID Howell had another solid round at the Tshwane Open today.
The Broome Manor pro carded another three-under-par 69 for the second round in South Africa to take him to six-under for the tournament after day one saw him go around without dropping a shot.
Howell got off to a fine start in Centurion, as he scored a birdie two on the third hole, but a bogey six at six blotted his copybook slightly, before birding the seventh, 15th and 16th.

Scotty, there was a bug in the search software. Dennis has it fixed now.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
Also know that the newer versions of PhPBB software include the capability to prevent "search flooding." this is done by imposing a madatory delay between searches. Spambots will often flood search to probe for weaknesses, e-mail addresses, etc.
My guess is that Dennis has enabled this feature.
Right on Lildog, it is enabled. Normally, it does not cause a problem for most searches. Just wait a little bit between searches.

As an addition to Lil Dog and Dennis' replies.. I have also encountered that problem, but usually when ever there is a problem in finding the host... sometimes that can be related to DOS critters.. Denial Of Service viruses or whatever they are....
It comes and goes... but usually it is fixed rather quickly..
Irritating, but goes with the territory now.. too many weirdos with too much time on their hands, access to virus lab programs, and NO CUBS IN THEIR LIFE
And I like your sig line.. nice addition

The designer is releasing a capsule collection of 20 shoes and six bags in honor of the event, all of which you can preview on the brand's Facebook page. Like what you see? 'Like' it to be one of the first to shop the collection. (Telegraph, Christian Louboutin Facebook)
• Holland's Next Top Model winner Ananda Marchildon is suing Elite Model Management for withholding her prize money after the agency allegedly told her she was too fat to get any runway work. Her three year contract was cut short after only two years when she could not get her hips down to the required 90cm (Marchildon's hips measure 92cm). According to her, she was told by one of Elite's lawyers that "although she has a nice face, she has a fat arse," and "She never had it in her to become a top model because she was unsuitable for catwalk work." Welp. (UK Guardian)
• PETA is gearing up for fashion week, sending out a slew of ads scolding the fashion industry for its use of animal products. Stella McCartney is the latest to show her support, appearing in a short film for the organization. She pleads, "Please join me in exploring the huge variety of fashionable shoes, belts, purses, and wallets that aren't the product of a cow's violent death." Last week, a PETA ad featuring Penelope Cruz conveniently popped up in the Garment District. The poster reads "Give fur the cold shoulder," which is exactly what would happen were I to take off this vintage fur stole keeping me warm. (Huff Post)
• In honor of London Fashion Week (which starts next week), Topshop is celebrating their ten-year affiliation with the British Fashion Council's NEWGEN designer program. The two have rounded up some of NEWGEN'S most noted alums (Christopher Kane, Mary Katrantzou, Erdem, Meahdam Kirchhoff) to each design a t-shirt as part of a capsule collection for the reatiler.

Karl Lagerfeld looks half dead…like he's pulling a "weekend at Bernie's" on us :-/
PETA= People for the Eating of Tasty Animals! Like, what else am I supposed to do with a chinchilla or a mink? You know how rodents breed, I'm just doing my part to keep the population under control…
I try to wear the least of animal-killing clothes/shoes, I just have one or two pair of leather shoes (in a closet of 30 pair!) which are both gifts. I don't understand why people should wear real fur (i'm not saying anything about the people living in icecold-temperatures like north Russia) if fake fur can be made so well the latest years that it looks real. No offense on your vintage stole, Jihan. Buying real fur these 'modern times' now is just WRONG.
Hold the hell up? CM's do they have any idea what a difference that doesn't make. She needs to sue them for that. If she won the contest then she needs to get her money period!
I can't deal with Peta…they are pretty tacky and violent to me.
Those Louboutins are crazy, what a pair of showstoppers:)
LOL @stickynsweet. Top Model needs to quit playing and pay up! I wonder what Tyra has to say about this mess…
I agree with Marthe. Peta tends to go overboard, but there is no reason to drape yourself in a dead animal unless you live in Alaska or you're a cave woman.
I agree that PETA goes overboard however I do believe that in this day and age it is unnecessary to kill animals just to wear their skin and fur. I really think that if some of the people who wear fur stopped and watch a video of how these animals are slaughtered for their skin and fur they would re-think it. I love me some fashion but I really think that we can look so fly in faux materials.
PETA goes overboard and people need to educate themselves on both sides of the story. Do you know how synthetic fibers are made? Have you every been in a chemical factory? Do you know what effect the emissions and waste from those plants has on people and the environment? Why do you think we see an increase in cancer, allergies, etc. I am tired of people fight more for animal rights then the rights of human beings. Animals were originally meant to be used for food and clothing and just because there is a different why to make clothes doesn't mean it is a better way.
@Jazzy I assume that you haven't educated yourself before you placed this comment, I am perfectly aware of the harmful effects on the chemicals used for synthetic fibers however are you aware of the disease ridden animals that you eat. I don't think there is anything wrong with eating meat however I have been involved in undercover investigations for the treatment in slaughter house and factory farms where 98% of our meat at local grocery stores comes from and if you were to see what the "FDA" deems eatable then you would truly be disgusted. I have seen cows that were sent to slaughter for human consumption that have large open soars with green puss and rotting around there eyes, pigs that have became so ill and sick that they cannot even walk off the slaughter truck and are dragged by a rope. Not to mention what the FDA allows these animals to be injected with (everything from hormones to steroids and more) There have been direct linkage between the high amount of cancer and the meat that we consume. Not to mention the horrible effect that consuming meat dose to the environment, since you're so concerned here are some facts you may like to read. I am not against anyone eating meat however I think that as a society we have became so over indulgent that this need to reproduce animals for consumption at such a rapid rate is appalling. So Jazzy before you say that it's so bad for the environment to wear synthetic fur maybe you should take a look what's on your plate 1st and see which is worse.
For Your Health
Some of the leading killers in America today, including heart disease, cancer, obesity, and strokes, are directly linked to meat-based diets. Heart disease is the number one cause of death in America today, and it can often be caused by the build-up of cholesterol and saturated fat from animal products in our arteries.
The only two doctors in human history who have successfully reversed heart disease have included an exclusively vegetarian diet as a part of their programs. The average vegan cholesterol level is 133 (compared to 210 for meat-eaters); there are no documented cases of heart attacks in individuals with cholesterol under 150. Other health problems tied to clogged arteries, like poor circulation and atherosclerotic strokes, can be virtually eliminated with a vegan diet.
Vegans are approximately one-ninth as likely to be obese as meat-eaters and have a cancer rate that is only 40 percent that of meat-eaters. People who consume animal products are also at increased risk for many other illnesses, including strokes, obesity, osteoporosis, arthritis, Alzheimer's, multiple allergies, diabetes, and food poisoning. Learn more about the health benefits of a vegetarian diet.
For the Environment
America's meat addiction is poisoning and depleting our potable water, arable land, and clean air. More than half of the water used in the United States today goes to animal agriculture, and since farmed animals produce 130 times more excrement than the human population, the run-off from their waste is fouling our waterways. Animal excrement emits gases, such as hydrogen sulfide and ammonia, that poison the air around farms, as well as methane and nitrous oxide, which are major contributors to global warming.
Forests are being bulldozed to make more room for factory farms and feed crops to feed farmed animals, and this destruction causes soil erosion and contributes to species extinction and habitat loss. Raising animals for food also requires massive amounts of food and raw materials: Farmed animals consume 70 percent of the corn, wheat, and other grains that we grow, and one-third of all the raw materials and fossil fuels used in the U.S. go to raising animals for food. In short, our country's meat addiction is wrecking the earth. Read more about factory farming and the environment.
@lanenabuena you should never assume anything. You know the saying if you assume you will make an ….. out of yourself
I am a chemical engineer and I am very well educated on all types of food processing. I know about farming for human and animal feed as well. I have taken hands on courses about crops and soil erosion.I have worked in the poultry industry. I have been on a turkey farm, a chicken farm, a diary farm, a soybean field, a corn field, in a poultry processing plant, in a plant that makes soups and yogurt, etc. I also have friends that work in food industry, cosmetics, etc.
Human beings account for more destruction of forests and causes of soil erosion than farms and feed crops. Our need for energy, bigger houses, transportation infrastructure, excess in general is wrecking the earth more then anyone's addiction to meat. Have you really looked at the break down of were gases that contribute to global warming come from? The numbers for farms are significantly lower than what the chemical industry produces or the damage we are doing with just our waste we send to landfills. So 1/3 of our resources are going to food period not just for raising animals for food. And you have a problem with that when we still have to import food to feed the population and we spend more energy and resources on excesses we don't need like multiple cars. And you say I am the one that needs to educate myself????
@lanenabuena as far as health is concerned its called everything in moderation
I never said it was the #1 cause of global warming, human beings as a race are exactly what are killing this earth however like I stated above the meat industry is the cause of excrement emits gases, such as hydrogen sulfide and ammonia, that poison the air around farms, as well as methane and nitrous oxide, which are major contributors to global warming. Also we use 70 percent of the corn, wheat, and other grains that we grow to feed farmed food animals alone, think about how many hungry people we could feed with this food if it wasn't given to animals for us to eat, it takes up to 16 pounds of grain to produce just 1 pound of meat, and even fish on fish farms must be fed up to 5 pounds of wild-caught fish to produce 1 pound of farmed fish flesh, and one-third of all the raw materials and fossil fuels used in the U.S. go to raising animals for food. Now back to the topic at hand I just found it very offence to hear you say that in retrospect its better on the planet to wear real dead animals then faux furs, If you, which you sound like an intelligent lady have seen the videos of what takes place on factory fur farms (which 90% off all animal hid and furs come from even designers such as Gucci and Prada, it can said Italian leather if it was put together in this country it doesn't mean that the animal hides and furs weren't purchased from another region/country) It is really so sad and repulsive to see what takes place not to mention that our economy is suffering so bad in the United States and we are still funding billions of dollars to china for this barbaric product makes me sad. I don't know you Jazzy and I don't hate or dislike anyone because of the life style they make by eating meat or wearing fur but I just want people to be aware of the horrific conditions that these animals go thru for us to wear and I hope that as a human race we can stand up and stop this from happening in the future. I have said more than enough on this topic and I don't knock anything you said about the environment you sound like a very intelligent women and I hope that you can see my point of view as well when it comes to the suffering of these animals. Enjoy your weekend.

News: Pusha T Puts Malice On His Back "Just To Ensure Clipse Fans Are Satisfied"
Wednesday, Mar 20, 2013 9:35AM
G.O.O.D Music's Pusha T recently discussed his upcoming My Name is My Name solo debut and why it is vital to represent his brother/Clipse sidekick No Malice on the long-awaited project.
In Pusha's perspective, Malice has always represented the more level-headed and conscious one in the Clipse.
"I think that My Name is My Name is definitely going to highlight just my perspective and my thought process," Pusha told MTV Hive while on the carpet for mtvU's 2013 Woodie Awards, where he performed last week in SXSW. "Being in a group, I think Malice always took the role as the conscious MC and more like the voice of reason and I was always the brash, more witty, slick talker type." (MTV Hive)
With fans eagerly awaiting his first shot at solo album success, Pusha said he will now have an opportunity to show Clipse lovers a side of him they may have only noticed with Malice.
Now, without his brother to rely on, Pusha will offer a different side of himself on MNIMN and ultimately deliver more balance. "I feel like I have to take on some of his characteristics, just to ensure that the Clipse fans are satisfied," he said. "I think my perspective is one to be heard." (MTV Hive)
Back in December 2011, the Virginia native publicly announced another Clipse project would follow 2009's Til the Casket Drops.
Last night at a show hosted by the good folks at Rap Radar, G.O.O.D. Music rapper Pusha T entered to "What Dreams Are Made Of" setting off a blast of energy in NYC's Gramercy Theater. Push A Ton kicked most of his recent work--a notable exception is the "Sweet Freestyle," which is thought to be a Drake diss--as well as a few older records. Rocking out to a packed house, Pusha decided to make some announcements towards the end of his set. "2012 G.O.O.D. Music Album...2012 Pusha T Solo Album...2012 New Re-Up Gang Music...2012-2013 New Clipse Album, yeauck," Push told the packed audience. (Hip Hop Wired)
While Pusha puts together his debut for release later this year, No Malice recently talked about what fans could expect from his own solo effort.
He hopes his solo album, Hear Ye Him, sheds more light. "The first song from that project is entitled 'June,'" No Malice told XXL at the All Access Music Conference in New York City's Webster Hall, where he was signing autographs in support of his Wretched, Pitiful, Poor, Blind And Naked book that he dropped last year. "The video just came out, so ya'll check for the video. And my second single, 'Unforgettable,' is also out. My next single is, 'Bow Down No More' and it's featuring Bun B." "I'm just trying to bring awareness to what I got going on," he said. "Just trying to do my thing right now. I can't look left or right...focused." (XXL Mag)

Frank from Pensburgh was nice enough to accept our request to come in and answer seven fantasy questions about the Penguins, including one of the most important fantasy Q's this offseasons... What's the deal with Crosby.
Check out Frank's answers below and make sure you pay a visit to Pensburgh. You might find this post on potential Penguin breakouts particularly interesting.
Click here for more Blogger's Breakouts.
If you're interested in FHS' breakout picks and fantasy take on the Pens check out our draft kit which includes The Breakout Bible, the Fantasy Scouting Report (with SuperStats included) and our Fantasy Prospect Database.
Q1) Penguins Breakout of the Year?
In a way I'm hoping it's James Neal. I know he's been in the league for a little while now and probably can't fall into the "breakout player" title, but for a guy who only scored one goal and added five assists in 20 games, I feel a lot of Penguins fans would like to see a little more production from him.
Q2) Darkhorse Breakout on the Penguins?
I guess Dustin Jeffrey would fall into this category. The guy had a chance to gain some valuable NHL time last season but was unfortunately derailed by a knee injury. It was his first shot at sticking at the NHL level too. To his credit the Pens front office took notice and re-signed him to a two-year deal this offseason that is two-way for the first year and one-way for the second. The structure of that contract alone proves the front office is willing to be patient with him in his recovery, but if his health improves sooner rather than later they're likely going to give him the promotion.
Q3) League-Wide Breakout of the Year?
I'm going to go with Taylor Hall, if a 22-goal, 20-assist rookie season isn't considered a breakout season.
Q4) Player likely to Breakdown on the Penguins?
A guy like Chris Kunitz runs a high risk of physically breaking down because of his style of play, so I'd imagine he'd be a pick for this sort of title. But honestly, if I had to pick, I'd prefer to say "none of them." Especially after last season with all of the injuries that mounted, the fans would love nothing more than to see a healthy team.
Q5) Best Fantasy Prospect on the Penguins?
I don't see many Penguins prospects having a big fantasy impact this season. But if you are asking me who will be a solid consideration for next season, then I'd have to say Simon Despres. Granted he's a defenseman, but the kid has some offensive skills and moves the puck well. I'm actually really excited to see how he pans out with the AHL club this season because he was absolutely dominant with the St. John's Sea Dogs last year. Outside of Despres, I guess it's still worth keeping an eye on Eric Tangradi as well, but his progress with the team has been slow and steady and I don't see how he's going to receive top-line minutes this season (or perhaps at all with the Pens over the next two years or so).
Q6) How do you see the Penguins Goalie Situation playing out this year?
It's Fleury's job, and not Fleury's job to lose. Brent Johnson is a great backup to have on hand and all, but Fleury is the starting netminder on this team and that's not going to change anytime soon.
Q7) You're probably sick of thinking/answering this but we really need to know... is Sidney Crosby going to be ready for the start of the season? How many games do you think he misses this year? What about Evgeni Malkin?
At this point, with all of the reports - which unfortunately you have to try extremely hard to filter out through even more rumors - I'm going to go with the majority and say we shouldn't expect him back on the ice to start the season. I'm not basing that off anything more than a hunch, which just so happens to be just about all you can rely on right now when it comes to fact or fiction and Crosby's status.
Man, after last season I'd love to say zero games missed for both of those guys. Hard to say on Crosby since the season may start with a few missed games. As for Malkin, the word coming out of Russia (including that of former Pen Sergei Gonchar) is that Evgeni spent the entire offseason rehabbing his knee. The hope is that he'll come back stronger than before, but the previous version of Malkin wasn't too shabby either.

More poinsettias are sold during the holiday season than any other time of the year. And local nurseries are selling out of them fast. "Christmas is just what we live for all year long," says Ann Holland with Holland Gardens.
She says the luxurious leafy plant is their biggest seller this time of year. "People are just really excited about poinsettias and the other things of Christmas that are so bright and cheerful," says Holland.
A native of Mexico the poinsetta was discovered by a french officer named Poinsett. Our of all 50 states, Texas ranks number three in poinsetta sales. Local nurseries say sales are up at least 40% from last year. With 20 different varieties of sizes and colors, the poinsetta makes an attractive addition for any holiday occasion.
Greenhouses like Ivey Gardens spend half the year growing poinsettas for the holiday rush. "We've grown about 27,000 and we've sold almost completely out," says Mark Ivey with Ivey Gardens.
Even though poinsettas are most popular during the holiday season you can actually enjoy their beautiful blooms all year long both inside and outside your home. "You can keep a poinsetta all year long and have it re-bloom next year," says Holland.
Poinsettas are a tropical plant that should be kept inside during the winter months and planted outside during spring and summer. With proper care their brilliant color can brighten your home for years to come.
Here are a few hints to help your poinsetta stay blooming and bright.
Contrary to the myth poinsettias are not poisonous. But the milky liquid inside the stalks can cause some allergic reactions if touched.

I remember having the first fight so close at the stoppage, that it will be good to see Cotto get his rematch and REVENGE!
This will be a beating! Cotto TKO 9. It will send Cheato into retirement. What about Cheato's eye issue anyway?

I see that a lot of people are saying Margarito will win this fight...I disagree. I don't feel Cotto is as washed up as some people have posted. Margarito took a worse beating last time out in my opinion. Cotto will be highly motivated for this one as will Steward. I'm not saying Cotto will dismantle Margarito, but that would be nice. If I had to pick I would say Cotto by decison. I'm actually more interested and excited for this match than Mayweather-Ortiz or Pac-Man-Marquez. Cotto is a great fighter to watch and a class act. He deserves this and will get it done.

Margarito is going to destroy Cotto again. There is absolutely no proof he fought with loaded gloves in that first fight, just assumptions. I watched FNF last night, and Wolak and Rodiguez were going off about how Cotto traded with Tony...WTF? Cotto tried to box Margarito and had success doing it even.
The problem is, Cotto can't fight backing up. That was evident back in 07 against Mosley. This isn't a secret that Cotto can't fight backing up. Hell, Mayorga was competitive with Cotto, so where the hell is this new and improved Miguel. Did yall see Mayorga's fight against Mike Walker to see how washed up Mayorga really is? Mike Walker is a journeyman midwest fighter, and he laid hands on Mayorga. Cotto is more washed up than people think, and Yuri Foreman ain't all that.
Margarito doubled Pac over with a body shot, and he still has that power. He backed Pac up, and Pac didn't like it when Margarito laid hands on him. Mosley ran away after getting hit by Pac, Tony kept coming forward. Anybody really think Cotto is going to hit Tony harder than Pac? The second Cotto realized that he can't hurt Margarito, can't back Margarito up, and can't run all night, which will be the 1st round, this fight is over. The mental image of what happened in 08 will come back. People can hype it all they want, and make whatever assumptions they want, but when they're in the ring that night, Margarito will ruin Cotto again.
If Cotto is assuming that Margarito had loaded gloves back in 2008, and that's the reason he lost, he's in a lot of trouble in December. Can't wait for this fight, as Tony will be back on top.

'Rape' accuser denies claims against Haslingden woman are fantasy
11:01am Friday 18th January 2013 in News
A WOMAN who said she was raped by a top choir director was a fantasist who told 'a complete pack of lies', a jury was told.
The alleged victim of Michael Brewer and his ex-wife, Hilary Kay Brewer, who was said to have encouraged the rape, was 'indulging in the realms of fantasy', a court was told.
She also claims the former music director at the prestigious Chetham's School of Music in Manchester indecently ass-aulted her as a pupil in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Under cross-examination in giving evidence at Manchester Crown Court, the complainant denied she made up the allegations.
She had previously detailed how the relationship with her teacher, Mr Brewer, progressed at the age of 14 from hugs in his unlocked school office to kisses, intimate touching and then full sex.
Their trysts would also regularly take place in unlocked practice rooms at Chetham's, in his camper van. He also abused her at his family home in Chorlton while his wife and four children were asleep or away from the house, she said.
Kate Blackwell QC, representing Mr Brewer, said to her: "You are indulging in the realms of fantasy."
She replied: "No, I am not in the realms of fantasy and I really understand why so many cases do not come to court."
The rape was said to have taken place at the Brewer family home when she was aged 18.
She has claimed that Mrs Brewer, of Knowl Gap Avenue, Haslingden, indecently assaulted her before leading her upstairs to the bedroom where she demanded Mr Brewer have sex with the complainant because she 'owed her'.
The jury was told that her evidence was that they all stayed in the same bed together for the rest of the night.
Miss Blackwell said the alleged victim had spent the night at the Brewers' house with her own husband and children before catching a holiday flight.
Brewer, 67, of Swarthmore Road, Selly Oak, Birmingham, denies rape and 13 counts of indecent assault.
Hilary Kay Brewer, also 67, denies one count of indecent assault and aiding and abetting rape.

Updated: September 11thGreenville police arrested Sergio Latimer Wednesday morning. Detectives were serving warrants in the Nicholtown community and received a tip that Latimer may be a suspect for the strong armed robbery of a teacher outside Sterling School earlier this week. Detectives found Latimer had outstanding warrants. They went to his house and arrested him on those warrants. After further investigation he was charged with strong armed robbery. Greenville Police are looking for the person responsible for a strong armed robbery that occurred Monday morning outside Sterling School.
Investigators say a teacher was pushed down and her wallet was taken in the school parking lot on John McCarroll Way. It happened between 6:40 and 6:50 a.m. according to the school district.
The teacher suffered minor injuries according to Oby Lyles with the Greenville County School District. Greenville Police were on the scene in minutes because an officer was in the area.
Sterling School doesn't have a school resource officer according to a GPD spokesman, but there was increased security Monday morning following the robbery.
Lyles says there were other adults on the Sterling School campus at the time of the robbery.
Investigators say the man was wearing a red shirt, black hoodie and jeans.

Stage 3 with Vennell and Jacques-Maynes At Elk Grove
Posted on 02. Aug, 2010 by lyne in interviews, race, video
Post-stage interview with Jeremy Vennell and Ben Jacques-Maynes, both of BISSELL, after stage 3, the Gullo International Criterium at the Alexian Bros Tour of Elk Grove.
Vennell and his teammate Daniel Holloway spent about half of the 60-lap race as part of a dangerous 6-man break which held the pack at bay. Teams were burning riders trying to chase them back but finally they were caught with 7 laps to go. Jacques-Maynes took a solo flyer in the final laps but was also caught.
Vennell finished 5th overall and BISSELL won the team classification.

Apparently, everybody's favorite original baby faced bald first baseman has admitted to taking steroids. Joyner got them from Caminiti. The report will show up in ESPN the Magazine. Who would've thunk Wally of all people on the juice? What in the Wally World is going on here!?
Caminiti, who admitted to using steroids himself in 2002, did honor the request and Joyner ingested pills for some time before throwing them away after regretting what he did.
Also, I've got my eye on Mark Sweeney. I don't trust any bald headed baby faced first basemen any more!
Thanks to secret source, aka Emcee Emmerson, for pointing this out to us.

We forgot to post about this last month. Four climbers died last month in the second largest single day accident on K2. The four, Yuri Uteshev, Alexander Foigt, Piotr Kuznetsov and Arcady Kuvakin were part of a Russian led team hit by an avalanche on August 13th:
The team was in Camp 4 intending to descend. But the weather suddenly improved the next day, and with the top being so close, they made a summit push on August 13 divided in three teams. The avalanche caught the first and the second group, leaving out the last party of Serguey, Irish climber Banjo and Polish climber Jacek.

Tom Haverford and Jean Ralphio's swagtastic business venture is easily my favorite sitcom subplot going right now. As much fun as the "Tammy One" experience was last week I didn't want the Ben visiting Entertainment 720 scenes to end. Just relentless comedy. I'm desperately pushing for the UPROXX overlords to consider the 720 biz model going forward. A coin graphic with my and Cajun Boy's likenesses is one way to start.
I of course am not alone in my appreciation for being flush with cash. Combine the Tumblr action out there with all the good times media on the official Entertainment 720 website (do yourself a favor and check out the pro forma income projections) and you've got yourself a Best Of # where dreams come to come true. Note the assorted 720 swag peppered throughout. I call dibs on the Rubik's cube and boxer briefs.
Alright, enough words. Take me there!

Along with shining light on his music career, the network will also feature his 1990's feature film, Juice.

The network is known for its hip-hop programming and, most recently, airing Snoop Dogg's exclusive tell-all interview last January.
Fuse, Madison Square Garden's national music television network, is getting up close and personal with hip hop icon and record producer Snoop Dogg in its interview series "On The Record with Fuse." The show provides exclusive and revealing conversations with the biggest and boldest names in the industry, diving deep into the lives of the hottest artists of the moment.

I was watching College Football Today on ESPN 2 today. The panel consisted of none other than TTU's new 'favorite' college talking head, Craig James. In the same vein of Old School Raider's previous post, I was wondering how we could get him to stay off these programs.
Then it occurred to me: If Tubbs leads us to a 10, 11, or undefeated season, Tech will be a major topic on all college football shows. If the WWL keeps to its promise that they will keep Big Daddy away from all things Tech, then he could find himself with a whole bunch of time on his hands.
He would find himself a victim of his own coniving circumstances. I think John Lennon put it best: "Instant Karma's gonna get you!"

Town Square
Editorial endorsements: Atherton City Council
Original post made on Oct 25, 2012
Read the full story here Web Link posted Wednesday, October 24, 2012, 12:00 AM
on Oct 25, 2012 at 8:29 am
About 15 people are working hard to pass Measure F to build a new county library in Atherton. Three members of the Council endorse the library concept, Widmer, McKeithen, and Dobbie.
Denise Kupperman, a candidate for city council, has chaired the committee to place a 10-13,000 square foot county library in the middle of Atherton's only park.
There is strong opposition to this plan. Those opposed have sighted many reasons. A new reason just re-opened last week- Kepler's.
Kepler's is a great book store and walking distance to the Atherton Library. In the new Athertonb library location, the Menlo Park Library will be walking distance as well.
Will an author want to speak at all three? Probably not. Is there a need to have a children's story told at all three probably not.
Kepler's has struggled over the last few years and the Menlo Park Library always has 30-50% empty chairs. Why does the Yes on F group believe the Supersized Atherton Library of will not be empty?
Ten years from now the energy of those that fought to build the library and create events to justify it will be gone.
Will the library become a White Elephant?
Over the years numerous other groups have lobbied to place their project in the park. In time the town's interest has dropped.
1. The 6 tennis courts were donated, however now numerous other courts are in town, and so usage has dropped from the peak in the 1970s.
2. The Art Committee placed two modulars in the park years ago, which are now rentals for a pre-school.
3. After many years Day in the Park, the Town Bar-B-Que, and the Summer Jazz Concert programs have ended.
The Yes on F Campaign's web site states that the county library can be built with no additional taxpayer dollars. And they claim that the millions in reserves can only be spent on library needs.
But they do not know for certain if putting in traffic lights and turn lanes for the extra traffic the Library will bring to town can be paid for by the Library fund.
Once the park land is turned over to the library, there is a strong possibility that state law and the County JPA Agreement will not let Atherton convert the land back to park land and reduce the size of the library.
So what happens if the building usage does not materialize?
What happens if the County does not approve the use of Library funds for the Traffic Light and turn lane?
Council members have often stated that Atherton needs to be run like a business. Would they invest $8M in a bookstore in the Atherton Park?

Editor to write:
"The council dissension over the library, which will be financed by Atherton contributions to a county library fund that will reach $8 million in a few years"
Is questionable-- There has been no ruling by the JPA that the The Traffic light and turn lane will be covered.
Will the extra traffic from the new office buildings- coupled with the Library add to the accidents at Watkins?
"Another issue was added to this already volatile mix when the Atherton Police Officers Association sent out a robocall endorsing Ms. Lewis and Mr. Weist, implying that the other candidates might favor outsourcing police services to the county sheriff. Some residents, including council member McKeithen, considered the actions threatening, and have denounced the association's intrusion into the council race."
This is an oxy-moron. Residents are writing letters to the editor of the paper and speaking at council meetings on the topic -- yet these resisents are afraid to state they endorse Kupperman and Conlon for fear the police will be less professional when servicing them-- and these residents had waited more than two months to give those endorsements. The campaign started in August and the APOA announcement was late September.
The police are concerned because Widmer, McKeithen, and Dobbie have stated they do not favor renewing the Parcel Tax, which funds Police Services. WMD are supporting Kupperman and Conlon- the police feel that Kupperman and Conlon will have to support the policies of Widmer and Dobbie.
on Oct 25, 2012 at 9:55 am
I'd like to congratulate Denise Kupperman for earning the Almanac's endorsement in the wake of threats to pull advertising that were published in these very blogs some weeks ago when the first robocalls came out.'
Denise will make a great council member.
Anyone who is confused on the police/APOA/robocall/flyer issue, check John Ruggeiro's letter to the editor in the same paper. As a former police lieutenant in San Francisco who managed ten times the police force that Atherton has ever had, and with a son who's a cop, he's certainly pro-police. But he's very much against the aggressive, crude, and offensive strategies employed by the APOA to snatch every benefit they can from Atherton residents.
Let's also recall another esteemed law enforcement chief, Richard Moore. When Dick ran for council four years ago, the APOA/Teamsters sat him down and said here's what you need to commit to in order to get our endorsement. Since Dick has impeccable integrity, he told them to pound sand and walked out. Just ask him about this. That's why the APOA didn't endorse Dick Moore. By the way, it's because of Dick Moore that the Atherton P.D. enjoys a high approval rating from residents. His tenure as chief, and Leroy Hubbard's, built the reputation of the Atherton P.D. to such an extent that even with the numerous scandals over the past several years, just some of which John Ruggeiro outlines in his letter, it was able to endure.
Peter Carpenter, shame on you for flipping on this issue so quickly, and in the wrong direction. This is as blatant as it possibly can get in terms of union misbehavior and candidates accepting endorsements with strings attached.
To the last poster, "No Need for County Library in Atherton," if Widmer and Dobbie support Kupperman and Conlon, and the cops feel that Kupperman and Conlon will have to support their policies in return, doesn't that hold even more for Wiest and Lewis, who are taking money from the cops now? You're also just ranting and raving, and make no sense.

Oracle has released version 7.2.4 which they claim is greatly improved in throughput with redundancy. The thing is huge with a .deb package of 300 MB.
This looks like the kind of product a website might use to scale up LAMP while increasing reliability. The benchmark Oracle ran on 8 servers provided 1 billion queries per minute and could do 110 million updates per minute from RAM.
"In 2002 we passed the limit of 1M reads per second. Now we've passed the milestone of 1B reads per minute. We achieved 1.05BN reads per minute on an 8-node cluster using MySQL Cluster 7.2.5."
The scalability has been greatly increased:
"We're very proud of those scalability enhancements that have made it possible to scale CPU usage per data node to more than 5x of what is possible in MySQL Cluster 7.1. In addition we've removed a number of bottlenecks making it possible to scale per data node performance by even more than 5x. Comparing our benchmark numbers for MySQL Cluster 7.2 we can see that we achieved 2.1M reads per second on 7.1 and we've achieved 17.6M reads per second, both on 8 data node set-ups using the same HW. Thus more than 8X better performance per node for MySQL Cluster 7.2 compared to 7.1."
Even those who just add a second server for reliability might find it useful. Anything that increases throughput is useful because it doesn't take a very complex query to bog down a single server. Perhaps the acquisition by Oracle may actually make the world a better place… Too bad they didn't treat Java and OpenOffice.org with the same loving care.

That's a valid means of making a living producing FLOSS
Wait, wait, isn't FLOSS about free software? Since when does selling software for money account as "free"?
they could still sell support and provide the Manager for $0 as well.
No, they don't. They sell MySql, and only they give you some nice, rather important instruments:
"Oracle Premier Support for MySQL is included in Annual Subscriptions (no extra cost)"
In other words, you buy MySQL and receive free support. Support itself gives no tools.
Btw, I am really glad that Oracle took over MySql and are doing something about it. Since 4.0 MySql is only degrating. All new features come at the cost of lessened performance and reliability.
The community could do that by configuration
Except that they didn't. Despite the numerous reports that MySQL was not scaling well. Only Google delivered some patch for 5.x which improved things a little bit, but nothing spectacular.
And lets not forget that MySql Cluster Manager is available only in the paid version. How do like that?
See Pogs? It takes a corporation to their act together and put some paid resources to achieve something good. While in the hands of the community, MySql's scalability was a laugh.
Ah, and MySql Cluster Manager is available only in the paid version: http://www.mysql.com/products/
How does that compare with PostgreSQL?

Score Big With Our Cheap Bowling Balls
Hello and welcome to Kingpin Bowling Balls - the site with balls. Are you ready to stop using house balls and purchase your own new or used bowling ball? Perhaps you want to take your game to a higher level? This is a great idea, and we have some great cheap bowling balls from the major manufacturers such as Columbia, Ebonite, Hammer, Track and Storm, but before you pick one out, there are a few things you should consider.
For instance, it's a good idea to have a bowling ball for oily lanes and one for lanes that are dry, because this affects performance. You'll want to make sure you have a ball that's excellent for strikes, and one that's better for picking up spares.
It's also important to get the correct weight for you, since balls range from as little as six pounds to as much as sixteen. However, you may find that you're able to handle more weight in a custom ball, since one that properly fits your hand will allow you to manage it more easily. This is why it's important to get the holes in your personal ball custom drilled for your hand.
Bowling balls may seem expensive, but with the cheap bowling ball for sale on our site, you can save money and still pick up a great ball. Also consider buying a used bowling ball as you can save quite a bit money and then have the holes plugged and re-drilled relatively cheap at your local pro shop.
Before you buy, you'll want to decide what kind of material your ball will be made of. Polyester bowling balls are the least expensive, and are what most house balls are made of. These durable balls skid more and hook less. They're good for picking up spares involving the 10 pin if you're right handed or the 7 pin if you're left handed.
Urethane bowling balls are softer, so they have a greater potential to hook. To remove or up the hook potential, sand or buff the ball. These balls are more expensive than polyester, but not the most expensive ones out there.
Reactive urethane or reactive resin bowling balls are the more recent type of balls. They're tackier and make for a better grip on the lane, producing a greater potential for hook. These balls can skid on oil, but have a very strong hook on dry lanes. If you have the experience, you can use this kind of ball effectively under extremely different lane conditions.
Another kind of ball that's excellent for people with experience and an interest in the potential for power is the particle bowling ball. These contain small particles of other substances in the cover stock, including ceramics, glass, and other resins. These are extremely controllable if you know what you're doing, and offer the greatest hook potential of all ball types. They're very popular with professional bowlers.
Remember to do a little research before buying your next ball, and know as much as you can about the conditions you'll be bowling under and what you want out of the ball. This will help you choose the right bowling ball for your budget and bowling style. When you're ready to but and want to save some money, make sure to look over our cheap bowling balls listed throughout the site.
We list the deals we come across by brand, weight and weight within brand. For the weight within brand bowling balls we mainly list 14, 15, and 16 pound balls as those are the most desirable for bowlers, especially league bowlers, but you can easily search for a specific lighter weight and brand using our search feature.
Thank you!
Please note: We update the deals we come across on a daily basis so you'll want to bookmark this site to be kept up to date on all cheap bowling balls for sale.

Hello everybody
I want my custom control to fill all the client area of the dialog. But the control's window origin (0,0) is slightly - somewhat 5 pixels - lower that dialog's window origin, and also clipping occurs (I tried to make my control's position negative).
Can I disable this clipping somehow or set control's window size to whole dialog's window size?
Thanks in advance

FORT MYERS: A 46-year-old man was arrested on Friday evening and charged with one count of trafficking cocaine.
According to Lee County Sheriff's Office officials, the man, Constantino Lorenzo Herradon, was stopped on I-75 in Fort Myers for following too closely, speeding, illegal window tint, failure to wear a seatbelt, and having an obstructed registration plate.
Herradon and his passenger were reportedly traveling from Miami to Cape Coral in a 2002 GMC Yukon Denali.
Further investigation included a search of the vehicle and the discovery of a large compressed brick of cocaine sealed in electrical tape, and an additional bag wrapped in aluminum foil.
Detectives say the cocaine was destined for a location in Lee County.
Herradon had previously been charged for illegal narcotics trafficking.

The three were attacked and killed as they sat in a Jeep shortly after dropping off the friend.
Investigators said it is believed the men were trailed from a club in Brooklyn where they attended a party, and where a dispute over a woman reportedly took place.

Credit card interest scam
Credit Card BS
I received a call from this number, when I answered it the recording said; "For lower interest rates on your credit card, please have your information ready and press 1 now." I listened to the end of the message for an option to be taken off the caller list. When there was no option in the prerecorded message, I pressed 1. A receptionist came on the line and said "Hello, how are you today." And I said "Fine thank you, I was just wondering what do I have to do to have my phone removed from your calling list?" He responded by saying, "That's very simple mame, just shove your phone up your ass so you won't hear it when it rings." Then he hung up. I tried to recall the number so I could complain to a manager, but when dialing the number I was informed by a recording from Verizon that the "number can not be completed as dialed". At no time did the recording or the receptionist ever mention the name of the company, or the name of the caller. I have no idea who is harassing me on my private phone line.
will not hang up on you

The Dodgers were able to pull out a comeback win on Sunday afternoon, a 2-1 extra-inning triumph over the Chicago White Sox at Dodger Stadium. With the win, that lessened the blow of an earlier call that took a run off the scoreboard for the Dodgers.
Trailing 1-0 with one out in the bottom of the sixth inning, catcher Matt Treanor scored from third base on a sacrifice fly to right field off the bat of Elian Herrera. However, on appeal, Treanor was called out by third base umpire Jerry Meals, who ruled Treanor left the bag too early.
Matt Kemp and bench coach Trey Hillman ran to the video room in the clubhouse to see a replay, and told manager Don Mattingly that Treanor didn't leave early; in fact, Mattingly later said replays showed that Treanor was on third base for roughly 1.3 seconds while right fielder Alex Rios still had the ball.
Meals yelled something in between innings at Kemp, who was chirping from the dugout, a no-no for players on the disabled list.
"I really went out there just to protect Matt, not to argue the play."
Mattingly did not like the explanations he was given by Meals and crew chief Gary Darling, the home plate umpire, and took part in a lengthy and animated argument, to the delight of the crowd. And the team.
"As far as I'm concerned, Donnie had my back right there and he had the team's back. It wasn't an individual appeal, it was a team thing," Treanor said. "He stood up for all of us, and he showed us he does have our backs."
Upon seeing the replay himself later, Mattingly was more dismayed.
"(Meals) was lined up, but he wasn't even watching. I saw the video, and his head was looking in the outfield," Mattingly said. "That's what's irritating. When they tell you they got it 100% right, it's hard to buy it when it costs you a run."
Is Mattingly in favor of instant replay on calls like this? "I better not answer that right now," he said after the game, laughing.
Treanor called Mattingly's argument "fantastic," and said he had never seen his manager so animated.
"I don't care to be in his office when he's like that," Treanor said with a smirk. "I'll let him do that with the umpires."
Pitching Duel
Sunday's game was a fantastic pitching duel between Chris Capuano and Jose Quintana. Luckily for the Dodgers, Quintana was pulled after just 77 pitches in his eight scoreless innings, and they were able to score runs in the ninth and 10th innings to pull out the win.
"The story of the day was obviously Quintana. He was very impressive, really efficient," Capuano said. "The way he was throwing, we didn't feel like we'd get any daylight there. It's just great to come back and steal one in the end."
Capuano struck out 12 and walked just one in a season-high eight innings, a nice turn around from his three previous June starts, in which he allowed 13 runs in 15 1/3 innings.
"I felt really good the first two months of the season, then in the last couple of weeks I struggled with mechanics. I had a lot of trouble putting the ball where I wanted," Capuano said. "But my last couple bullpens, then today, felt much better with the location of my pitches. It was a lot more fun out there today than it has been the last few."
Capuano on the season is 8-2 with a 2.71 ERA, with 80 strikeouts in 86 1/3 innings.
Up Next
The Dodgers are off Monday, then open a nine-game road trip on Tuesday night in Oakland. The Dodgers will send Aaron Harang, who started his major league career with the Athletics in 2002, to the mound in the opener, marking the first time he will have pitched in Oakland since leaving the A's in 2003. Brandon McCarthy starts Tuesday for Oakland.
Kemp and Mark Ellis, both on the disabled list, will travel with the team to Oakland.
"Matt and Mark are going with us on the road, mainly because they're doing a ton of baseball work," Mattingly said on Sunday. "They're on the field taking BP now, they've been able to do a lot more stuff on the field."
Mattingly also said one of the team trainers will stay in Los Angeles while the team is in Oakland, to work with Ted Lilly, Matt Guerrier, Javy Guerra, and Justin Sellers. That quartet of players on the disabled list will not make the trip to the Bay Area, though Mattingly said Guerra might join the team in San Francisco next week.

Ralph reports from the announcement from Rose Bowl renovation plans including comments from Dan Guerrero and IMHO the greatest (or at least my favorite lol) QB of all time. GO BRUINS.
I never get tired of watching this clip. A perfect example from number 18 of going all out to get a win. 103 more days to go till kickoff at the Rose Bowl. GO BRUINS.
Cade McNown leaving everything on the field. lol The guttiest performance by a UCLA athlete I have ever seen in my life time of following Bruin football and basketball. At that point we all knew we were not going to lose that incredible game. We ended up winning it in OT (41-38). GO BRUINS.
Here is another piece of video for anyone who might be a little "down" about UCLA starting the season with a brand new quarterback. Yes, that's a true freshman playing QB for Bruins and yes that's a Bruin team beating up on (Rose Bowl bound) Trojies on their field. Once again: our (true) freshman QB - their home - our winning team. 10 more days. GO BRUINS.
Speaking of a freshman Bruins QB with wheels - a little highlights from 95 when a fearless no. 18 went into South Central and took care of Rose Bowl bound TrOJans. Craft, Forcier, Prince, Rasshan ... whoever gets the nod ... needs to be fearless ... just like Cade. 21 more days. GO BRUINS.
One more exhibit in support of Cade McNown being the face of UCLA football: highlights of the greatest come back in the history of UCLA-Southern Cal football game (1996).

MADISON, Wisconsin (AP) - Gov. Scott Walker's administration is recommending a 1% pay raise for state and University of Wisconsin workers in each of the next two years.
The pay plan proposal was laid out in a letter provided Tuesday to The Associated Press. The letter from Walker's administration was delivered to the eight lawmakers on a special legislative committee set to vote on approving the pay plan on Wednesday.
The UW Board of Regents earlier this month voted to ask that UW System employees' pay raises be the same as those given to state employees. The last system-wide pay increase came in 2008 when faculty, staff and other UW System employees got raises of 1%.
State workers got no across-the-board increase in pay over the past two years.

Three orbs were seen in the skies in Sherman Oaks and Van Nuys three different times since Feb. 24.
The Mutual UFO Network, MUFON, opened a case on the sighting (MUFON Case: 45954). Steve Murrillo, the chief investigator of the Greater Los Angeles MUFON, said that a lot of sightings in the Studio City and San Fernando Valley areas have been attributed to Chinese lanterns lit off during holiday seasons.
See some of the reports below, and footage.
Real UFOs also collected the information.
The filmers comments include:
I was in a parking lot across the street from Burger King eating some food. About 20 mins before I started eating, I was driving, left work listening to the radio when I heard a report on kfi-am640 about calls coming in about lights in the sky, then I heard something about a meteor shower. When I saw the lights in the sky I assumed they were meteors. Thats when I noticed they were moving slow. I grabbed my phone and began recording. There were 3 (looked like) orbs that were a glowing red/ orange. In the video there are 4 lights that appear. The light on the far left is a star. I thought I could use it as a reference. Thats when one of the orbs began disappearing. Then another faded away when I heard a helicopter and looked up and saw another red glowing light. The 4th one then disappeared about 2 mins later. I stayed in the same place for another 10 mins or so looking up but I didnt see anything after that.
This report is filed at MUFON.

I am sort of getting belatedly informed on the controversial deal. Disclosure is one thing, transparency is another. Why is there no transparency about this deal? Surely a why statement was in order, given the peculiar details. Conflicts of interest are not avoided by disclosures, but by transparency…and this does not require details of the business. A mere mention of the strategic aim should be enough. Has that been done? I would even argue that by "disclosing" the Google pedigree of the deal, a higher valuation may be rigged up from investors in a Series B\/Second round or whatever you call it in the Valley!

Ego of the Week: Simone Stolzoff
This week, we got up close and maybe a little too personal with Simone "Simo" Stolzoff, a modern–day Lord Byron who slams poetry almost as well as he slams Natty.
Street: What's your deal on campus?
Simone Stolzoff: I am president of the Excelano Project, I'm on the Ultimate Frisbee team, I'm a Beta bro and I'm in Sphinx.
Street: What's the weirdest thing you've ever written a poem about?
SS: My penis. The first time that I performed it was also the first time my dad heard me read poetry.
Street: What did he think of it?
SS: He wished it was longer… That was a joke.
Street: How did your first slam go?
SS: So the guy before me did a poem about his brother getting shot. And then I did a poem about the plight of the college admissions process…The last line was like, "And you can suck on my transcript!" And I just, like, walked off stage.
Street: If you can't snap, do you have no place at a spoken word show?
SS: Nah, I mean, I'm really inappropriate and I yell shit, like full sentences. I try and have conversations with the performer. It doesn't go over too well.
Street: Do you slam in the shower?
SS: A little personal to ask in an interview, dontcha think? Just kidding. Of course. It helps me work on fake tears.
Street: What's your most embarrassing top–played jam on iTunes?
SS: "Say My Name" by Destiny's Child. Talkin' about shit I do in the shower…
Street: Who's your alter ego?
SS: The Cookie Monster. I'm obsessed with chocolate chip cookies. I have a chocolate chip cookie every day. It's my favorite food. They're like Beatles songs. Even the shitty ones are pretty good. I'm an aficionado.
Street: If you had a superpower, what would it be?
SS: You know when you go to the beach, and you go swimming, but then you get out of the water and all the sand sticks to your feet? If I had the power to not have the sand stick to my feet, that would be it.
Street: If you were a character on "Friends", which would you be? Or do you hate "Friends"?
SS: I've seen more episodes than I'd care to admit. Joey, I guess. The Italian. "EYYYY!"
Street: If you were a type of pasta, which would you be?
SS: Farfalle (bowtie), 'cause it says, "I wanna be formal, but I'm here to party, too."
Street: What does your PennCard picture say about you?
SS: That I should have been an 18–year–old Elvis impersonator.
Street: What little things will you miss about Penn?
SS: Kelly Writers House second floor bathroom. The one on Locust with the bathtub. And food trucks. I love food trucks.
Street: If you were a Penn food truck, which would you be?
SS: Koja. I like fusion. If I were to open up a club, it would be only for mixed people. And mixed foods.
Street: Do you have a favorite line of poetry you keep in your head at all times?
SS: So I got one off my friend Eric's "About" section on his Facebook profile, and I thought it was just a famous quote, so I took it and put it in my Facebook profile. And one day, Eric came up to me and was like, "Um…why did you steal my grandfather's quote for your Facebook profile?" It's "If you can realize the relative unimportance of everything you do, you can always go through life with a smile."
Street: If you could get with any Disney Princess, who would it be?
SS: Jasmine. She's bad. She could come to my mixed club.
Street: There are two types of people at Penn…
SS: People that make shit happen and people that watch shit happen.
