AIKEN, S.C. – The second Live Evaluation Period of July tipped off on Wednesday night and NBE Sports was in the building at USC Aiken for the Peach State Summer Showcase.
While the tournament might not get as much hype as Nike Peach Jam does, Peach State is also loaded with talented prospects. Several of those players stood out on opening night and NBE Sports caught up with a few guys as well.
John Egbunu might not be 7-foot like he is listed, but the future South Florida Bull is an impressive player nonetheless. The Class of 2013 center out of Eagle's Landing (GA) is a rugged interior presence who simply gets things done around the cup. Egbunu turned in an impressive performance for Douglas Brothers Elite in a victory over Birmingham Ice Xpress and was extremely difficult to defend in the low post. He finishes well and does a great job of grabbing offensive rebounds and then putting the ball back in the cup for an easy deuce. Possessing strength and power, Egbunu is also capable of throwing down a big-time dunk, as he most certainly showed on Wednesday night.

Saturday in Indianapolis was all playoff action at the Adidas Invitational and with higher stakes came stronger performances. All three age groups (15U, 16U, 17U) were represented at the main gym and players from all ages and all places managed to stand out. Here's a sampling of who impressed.
Top Performers of the Day:
Daniel Hamilton (Dream Vision 2014) – The younger of the pair of brothers on Dream Vision's 17U squad, Daniel is two inches taller and significantly longer than his older brother. While Daniel's set of tools on the offensive end is not quite as refined as Isaac, he does have the middle game down to a science. He's best scoring on runners or floaters going in either direction often using the back board from unusual angles. Hamilton has range out to the 3-point line but is consistently more successful when he puts the ball on the floor and pressures the defense off the dribble. Added strength, improved ball handling skills, and better shot selection can spring board Hamilton's game to the next level.

Clearing out the notebook from some recent updates we have gathered from players in the Class of 2013. We have updates below on Josh Brown, the Sports U/St. Anthony's (NJ) point guard that recently de-committed from Temple, Terrence Samuel, a NYC point guard who has been hearing the most for a couple schools since June 15th and Sam Singer, a scoring guard out of Florida who has a long list of schools looking to track him this summer.
Read on below for the lastest on each…
When news circulated that Josh Brown was backing off his verbal commitment to Temple which he made last Fall, we knew it wouldn't be long before his recruitment started to take off. Brown had been very impressive every time NBE saw him during the season at St. Anthony's as well as on the spring AAU period with Sports U. When we caught up with Brown yesterday he shared with us the schools that have been in contact with him since his decommitment, which also coincided with the June 15th opening of the unlimited contact period.

Over the last several years much has been written on the shortcomings or pitfalls of the fly-by-night prep schools that seem to come out of the woodwork each year across the country. Some are termed diploma mills or accused of funneling their players to certain programs or conferences.
At the complete opposite spectrum of the schools that operate in the gray areas of the sport is Northfield Mount Hermon. If anything, the program could be accused of funneling its players to a certain conference…the Ivy League!
A tremendous mix of academics and athletics makes Northfield Mount Hermon special. In the last several years the program headed by John Carroll in Northfield (MA) has been a virtual factory of Ivy League basketball players. NMH is considered the best combination of academics and basketball in the United States and in the 2010–2011 season eight NMH alums were in the Ivy League, more than any other school in the nation. That number contines to rise with players like Evan Cummins, Joe Sharkey, Jvonte Brooks and Armani Cotton in recent years following the path and will continue to attract players to the program, like Anthony Dallier, who are looking for similar opportunities.

Andrew Chrabascz, a 6-foot-7 forward weighing 235 pounds out of Cushing Academy in Massachusetts, enters the summer AAU and camp season with plenty of eyes on him. Top mid-major programs galore have been recruiting Chrabascz and will hold their breath as he hits the AAU trail with powerful BABC for the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League championships at the Peach Jam and end of July events in Orlando (FL). High major programs continue to track the multi-faceted game of Chrabascz, who is a skilled power forward.
One thing is certain, Chrabascz will produce. He is almost like a Georges Niang-lite, whose production last year with BABC on the AAU trail pushed his recruitment from the mid-major range to a schoalrship to Iowa State with plenty of other programs in hot pursuit when he made his decision. On the Oakland leg of the EYBL regular season, Chrabascz showed he is continuing to work towards being an effective face-up 4, and his shooting out to 17 feet or so is worthy of such a position. He was also willing to go inside and mix it up, effectively working on the glass at both ends and also finishing in traffic.

Parker vs. Randle highlights day
By Raphielle Johnson
Nike saved the "best" for its final regular season session of Nike EYBL, with the top two players in the class of 2013 facing off on Sunday afternoon. Jabari Parker and Mac Irvin Fire went toe-to-toe with Julius Randle and the Texas Titans, but a furious second half rally for the Chicago-based team fell just short. Behind 23 points and 13 rebounds from Randle and Matt Jones adding 19 and eight rebounds, the Titans won 63-59 to move into a tie for third in Division C with Mac Irvin.
That was a big win for the Titans from a Peach Jam standpoint as well, as the result guaranteed them a berth in the 24-team tournament to be held in July. A loss would have dropped them into a three-way tie with CPE and E1T1 Elite, and while all three would most likely advance (four at-larges join the top five in each division) it's better to simply take care of business yourself instead of relying on help.
Jones had the assignment of guarding Parker in the first half while Jackson Forbes helped out in the second, and the nation's top-ranked player seemed to settle for perimeter jumpers a bit too much. But he did guard Randle on the other end in the first half, and to be frank both seemed to be pressing in the first 16 minutes. But Randle's teammates, most notable Jones, came up big as they led by as many as 18 in the first half.

Sam Singer, a 6-foot-4, 190-pound guard from Ransom Everglades High School near Miami (FL), has been turning heads on the AAU circuit all spring with Gold Coast AAU. Known most for his ability to score off the ball, NBE saw Singer on Day Two of the Hoop Group's Pittsburgh Jam Fest where his ability to play on the ball helped spring an upset over Philly Pride in an exciting contest. Singer has very intriguing size for a back court prospect which he uses to get into the line and finish or draw many trips to the free throw line as well as a nice looking shooting stroke that is improving out past the three-point arc. What NBE saw from him in Pittsburgh was what he felt were his greatest strengths are as a player.
"I'm a true combo guard and my ability to make shots and create for others and basketball IQ are my strengths," he said. "I'm working hard this offseason on my athleticism and defensively."

The Hoop Group's Pittsburgh Jam Fest came to a close Sunday with some very intense semifinals and championship games. Many of the usual suspects who had been playing well all weekend continued to do so on Sunday but one squad of 2014 players in particular stepped its game up an extra notch and NBE has the rundown.
Caleb Martin and Cody Martin (Team Loaded NC 16U, 2014, Davie) – Even more so than the Harrison brothers in the grade above them, these two 6'6" wings have extremely similar bodies and games. In fact, at this point in their development, they play almost exactly alike. They're both fairly slender but appear to have the frame to really add strength and muscle. In leading Team Loaded (NC) to the 16U championship on Sunday, the two uber-talented North Carolina natives showed off a nice mix of skill and athleticism and played very well off of each other. Both are good passers that like to work in the high post and on the wing slashing to the basket. They also attack the glass and are active on defense. Their jump shots are decent right now but could certainly improve. In a competitive quarterfinal game against a solid Team Work (OH) squad in the morning on Sunday, Cody finished with 14 points, a handful of rebounds, and a couple of steals while Caleb put up 19 points including a couple of threes and several boards as well.
Also like the Harrisons, Caleb and Cody are 100 percent a package deal as far as their recruitment goes. Still early for the rising juniors, they already have offers from North Carolina State, Wake Forest, and Virginia Tech and are hearing from the likes of North Carolina, Texas, Tennessee, Xavier, Clemson, Kansas, and Georgetown. Both said they can see themselves in the ACC but that they'd like to wait and take as much time as they can before making their decision.

The big news of the college basketball recruiting world was delivered by St. Anthony's senior guard Kyle Anderson who ended the speculation of his college destination with a simple announcement via twitter:
RT @KyleAnderson5 -Had a great family meeting. I've decided to be a UCLA BRUIN!!
Anderson's announcement came on the eve of his birthday, the planned date of his college decision. Seton Hall (tickets) head coach Kevin Willard had made one last pitch to Anderson and his family with an in-home visit, but it was not enough in the end for the Pirates to land the recruiting coup of the early Fall.
While the Anderson story was unfolding, NBE was also able to get recruiting updates on '12 forward Anthony Bennett, '13 big man Chinonso Obokoh and '15 point guard LaMonta Stone II.

It was a big weekend on South Bend (IN) with the Michigan State football team coming to town to face the Irish. Notre Dame (tickets) head basketball coach and staff took advantage of the big football weekend to host some key recruiting targets, including Jamesville-Dewitt (NY) High School forward Tyler Cavanaugh.
"The experience and environment on campus was amazing," Cavanaugh told NBE's Matt Whitfield by text this morning.
When talking about face-up four men in the Class of 2012, Cavanaugh is one of the first names that should come to mind. The 6-foot-7 power forward is a knockdown 3-point shooter with a smooth stroke and he is also a superb finisher around the basket. Cavanaugh has a great basketball IQ and rarely makes bad decisions with the ball. He is tough defensively and his motor is always running at full force. A good enough athlete, Cavanaugh can handle the ball and get to the hoop off the bounce. A great teammate who does all the little things, Cavanaugh is truly talented player. If he improves his quickness and agility, he could develop into a big-time player – traits that all have attracted the Irish staff and earned Cavanaugh a scholarship offer from Notre Dame (Irish Fan Gear).
"They say I am a basketball player not locked in a position at this time," Cavanaugh said. "I was very impressed by the opportunity."
Cavanaugh has also previously told NBE that he plans to take official visits to Wake Forest, George Washington and Davidson. Syracuse (tickets) also recently offered and he was expected to visit the Orange campus as well this fall. Next weekend Cavanaugh plans to take an official visit to Wake Forest.
There was some talk that the recent verbal by Jerami Grant could impact the recruitment of Cavanaugh with the Orange. Cavanaugh refuted that notion and is till very much considering the home town Syracuse (Orange Fan Shop) program.
"Yes, I am still considering SU because Jerami is a different player than I am," said Cavanaugh. "We are players that could play beside one another."
NBE will continue to closely follow the recruitment of Jamesville-DeWitt's Tyler Cavanaugh as he continues the visit and recruiting process this Fall.

Pushing 6-foot-7, Brannen Greene is a mismatch on the wing due to his height and refined skill set. The Monroe (GA) native is a solid athlete with a good build who can do quite a bit with the ball in his hands. Greene has a high basketball IQ and good court vision, allowing him to hit the open man in position to score. His handle is superb and he can get through the defense on the way to the rack. Greene finishes pretty well at the rim and is crafty down low against the big bodies. He has nice form on his jumper, though he has yet to become a truly consistent shooter from deep. Greene puts in effort at the defensive end and can cause problems on the perimeter due to his length.
Greene has seen his stock explode as much as anyone in the Class of 2013 this summer and he a school list to prove it. He said that he has offers from Louisville, Georgia Tech, Georgia, Alabama, Marquette, Florida State, Florida, Connecticut, Kansas, Ohio State, Memphis, South Carolina, the equivalent of such from Harvard as well as "a lot more."

By the end of the last college basketball season it was best to simply expect the unexpected. The same could be said for this weekend in Las Vegas, which has produced an unexpected champion in the Kansas City 76ers. The 76ers won the Las Vegas Fab 48 by beating Team Breakdown (Florida) in Monday night's title game.
While the stands weren't filled to brim as they were last summer (Oakland Soldiers tend to bring out the crowds), there were a few college programs represented in the coaches area with 2013 wing Ishmail Wainright the primary focus.
Ben Howland (UCLA) and Steve Lavin (St. John's) were both there to watch Wainwright, who considers Earl Watson (who has connections to both as he played at UCLA under Lavin) to be an older brother and mentor. Other programs represented include Western Illinois, George Mason, Kansas, Missouri, UC Irvine, South Florida, Cal Poly, Nebraska, UM-KC and Creighton.

Could Andre Drummond be on a college campus next fall? Possibility was not ruled out on Saturday
By Brian Bosworth
After the Bob Gibbons' Tournament of Champions field was trimmed at the last minute, many teams were left scrambling for a new home for Memorial Day Weekend. Thankfully, the NERR Invitational sprung together quickly and some of the nations' top amateur players had a venue to display their talents. Saturday's action was chock full of future college stars as high profile programs Connecticut Basketball Club (CBC), NE Playaz, Mass Rivals, New Heights, Team Philly, and a host of others were in action. A few players proved themselves to be a cut above the rest and they are outlined below.
Andre Drummond (CBC 2012) – Drummond stands at 6'10" 275 pounds and he is the best high school basketball prospect in the country regardless of class. While often criticized for inconsistent play and a lack of dominance neither issue showed itself on this day. In an afternoon contest with Drive 4 Stardum Drummond had 20 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks, and 7 rim shattering dunks. He showcased his full arsenal of skills and truly punished the opponent with his incredible force. Three of his monster dunks came on offensive rebound tip-ins but to simply call them tip-ins doesn't do them justice. Drummond rises above everyone else on the floor in traffic with his hand easily above the box, grabs offensive boards, and hammers them down all in one fluid motion. It's the kind of play that maybe 20 people on the planet could pull off and Drummond is an 18 year-old kid who just finished his Junior year of high school.

The Tulsa Shock has announced a special offer on season tickets for the 2011 season.
The offer includes 17 games for just 99 dollars -- that's less than six dollars a game. That compares to the WNBA average lowest ticket prices of $171 dollars.
"Our market research, in depth conversations with single-game buyers, various market segments, our strong season-ticket base and a full season in Tulsa has convinced our organization that this is the optimal ticket offer for all fans," Tulsa Shock President Steve Swetoha said. "This season-ticket offer provides the best entertainment value in the summer time for residents of Tulsa and the surrounding regions."
Swetoha says the team is off to a great start to reach its season-ticket renewal goals for the 2011 season and feels with the new offer, those numbers will continue to climb.
"Our goal is to provide the greatest value of entertainment and fun in the summer months across the region," he said.
For tickets, fans can call (918) 599-WNBA or e-mail the Shock at email@example.com.
The Shock return home Tuesday night to host the Seattle Storm, which boasts the WNBA's best record at 22-and-3. Tulsa comes into the game at 4-and-22 and riding a seven game losing skid.

Sony Michel has been one of the most sought after football players in South Florida since he was in the eighth grade.
Isaiah McKenzie, on the other hand, has become the most coveted Broward County athlete in the past seven weeks.
Both Plantation American Heritage All-American players decided they would like to continue their close friendship and attend college together, signing National Letters of Intent on Wednesday to play at the University of Georgia.
McKenzies announcement delivered the most intrigue among South Florida players. The four-star slot receiver and special teams returner picked Georgia over West Virginia, Florida and Mississippi after receiving an offer from Bulldogs coach Mark Richt on Monday despite never visiting the school.
Michel, a five-star running back who has been committed to Georgia since March, stood up from his seat on stage in the schools auditorium to give his Georgia hat to McKenzie, who had caps from Ole Miss and Virginia Tech in front of him before announcing.
[Michel] told me a lot of things about the school, and everything he told me seemed great, said McKenzie, who had 35 catches for 823 yards and seven touchdowns during his senior season. If Sony Michel can get along with the coaches and the players, I can too.
Forty-seven student-athletes in 16 sports were honored at St. Thomas Aquinas with nine of the 12 football players heading to Division I programs.
Two players who will play close to home at the University of Miami are offensive lineman Nick Linder and defensive end Anthony Moten.
Im so pumped to be a Cane, Linder said. Its a dream come true.
Added Moten: [The University of] Florida was right there, but like I said my family came into the picture. I wanted them to be at every game possible.
Quarterback Wade Freebeck, who passed for 1,862 yards and 20 touchdowns, will play at Vanderbilt after flipping from Pittsburgh on Tuesday. Corey Holmes, a four-star wideout, is headed to Notre Dame. Running back Madre London signed with Michigan State. Offensive lineman Ryan Crozier travels to Connecticut, offensive guard Tyler Dever signed with USF and cornerback Al Harris Jr. will attend South Carolina.
Before announcing his own commitment to the Gamecocks, Chris Lammons thanked friends, family, coaches, teachers, and even the cafeteria ladies at Plantation High.
I was just trying to find a place where I could go and play early, said Lammons, the Colonels quarterback who will play cornerback in college. And a place I just felt comfortable at with a good coaching staff. And I felt like South Carolina would be that for me.
Defensive lineman/linebacker Richard Yeargin III was the only player among 20 student athletes left to publicly announce his college decision at Davie University School, picking Clemson over Notre Dame and Texas.
Cornerback Quincy Wilson (Florida) and quarterback Sean White (Auburn) both hope to get their teams back to the national championship status.
[Auburn] is my dream school and I just cant wait to get there, White said. I know coach [Gus] Malzahn will use my strengths in the offense and is going to make me a really good quarterback.
Former football coach Roger Harriott, who now serves as an assistant head coach at FAU, did not attend the ceremony because of his new signing day obligations.
Speaking of coaching changes, Charlie Strongs departure from Louisville to Texas left Cardinal Gibbons wide receiver George Rushing scrambling for information.
When I committed to Louisville, Wisconsin was No. 2 on my list, Rushing said. I like the tradition, I like the things they do there. Its a football town. The town is built around football and winning and going to the Rose Bowl.
The quarterback who threw to Rushing for most of his career at Gibbons, Peyton Bender, also wants to win a Rose Bowl. But he will try to satisfy that quest while playing for Washington State.
In addition to Rushing, Trevon Lee signed with Duke, and Christian Blake faxed in his paperwork to Northern Illinois.
At Dillard High, star safety Randy Ramsey said University of Miami coaches were too late making a late push for his services, sticking with the University of Arkansas.
Ramsey shared the stage with two FIU signees, quarterback Lee Bud Martin and wide receiver Dennis Turner.
Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna had four of six student athletes sign National Letters of Intent to play college football with All-American defensive tackle Khairi Clark headlining the group of signees, making his commitment to UF official.
Cypress Bay saw eight student-athletes sign letters with Marquese Dudley-Gordon (FAU) and Kadeem Goulborne (SMU) leading the group. Offensive lineman Justin Goldberg and kicker/punter Jonathan Semerene will play for the Hurricanes as preferred walk-ons.
Thats why you coach, Cypress Bay coach Mark Guandolo said. These young men and have an opportunity. Thats what it is, an opportunity. Hopefully they take advantage of it.

G.O.O.D. Music's Big Sean may be following in the footsteps of mentor Kanye West, revealing how close he came to potentially dropping a sex tape based on his latest mixtape's performance.
Sean jokingly said if all things turned sour with Detroit, a sex tape may have been a strong back-up.
Making an appearance at Temple University's Homecoming, rapper Big Sean stopped by Philly's Hot 107.9 to talk about the recent release of his new mixtape, Detroit. Prepping for his second studio album, Hall Of Fame, the G.O.O.D. Music star claims he doesn't care about meeting other people's expectations when it comes to his music, but joked that he would've taken X-rated measures to promote himself if his mixtape hadn't performed well. Thankfully, it did. "If it didn't do good, which it did, I was just going to drop a sex tape. Because sex tapes are the new mixtapes," explained the rising hip hop celeb. The performer also debunked rumors that he had a sex tape with Nicki Minaj. (BET)
Last month, Kanye West's stolen sex tape heated up music and gossip blogs.
Canada-based porn company Sex.com has just increased their offer for Kanye West's highly sought-after sex tape to $5 million. This comes after earlier reports that the Chicago rapper possibly has two X-rated home videos on the market. The official statement from Sex.com states, "By purchasing both tapes, Sex.com will bolster a Celebrity section like no other free, adult entertainment website. Upon purchase, Sex.com will exclusively host both videos for free in the Celebrity section and then begin packaging the sex-tapes together for a DVD release." (XXL Mag)
West allegedly used his current girlfriend Kim Kardashian's leaked tape as steamy motivation in the past.
Before Kanye West was nailin' Kim Kardashian ... he used to nail other chicks while watching Ray J nail Kim Kardashian. Multiple sources with first-hand knowledge of the situation tell us ... Kanye used the Kim K sex tape in the bedroom to get him in the mood ... and it always worked. As we previously reported, Kanye has had a thing for Kim dating back several years ... and even tried to get her to break up with Reggie Bush in 2009 so they could get together. We know he loves the sex tape ... he even raps about it on his upcoming album. Now, Kanye doesn't need the sex tape anymore ... he has the real thing ... and once again, Ray J becomes irrelevant. (TMZ)
Last year, The LOX's Sheek Louch spoke on the growing popularty of x-rated celebrity videos.
"['Picture Phone Foreplay'], that's for the chicks that's sending me them pictures," Sheek said in an interview. "Word. That's for them. They go hard on that camera phone...Nah, I'm not with it. Especially right now with how sh*t is, you send it to her and she puts it on all these sites and all that sh*t. I don't think that's cool. I don't do that. Keep your sh*t to yourself until you're with that girl. That's it. Sextapes and all that sh*t is not healthy right now!" (Hip Hop Game)

The initiative aims to increase the community presence of supermarkets and food hubs supplying locally grown food
MOBILE, Ala., June 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ – The Emerging ChangeMakers Network ("ECN") today announces its new collaboration with healthy food activists at PolicyLink, The Reinvestment Fund, and The Food Trust, as it seeks funding for a healthy foods initiative in Alabama.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130617/PH32421)
"Alabama has a rich heritage of growing healthy food and feeding our own communities," said Jessica Norwood, ECN Founder and Director. "Right now, Alabamians spend $2.2 billion to purchase food from outside the state. That's 92 percent of all food dollars leaving our community. If we can reclaim a portion of this, we can help bring real wealth into the hands of Alabamians," Ms. Norwood said.
"We are embarking on a mission to create food hubs for distribution, more supermarkets, food cooperatives–even small food trucks– so that people in our underserved communities will have healthy food, grown locally. ECN is delighted to be the new Alabama stakeholder in this network of activists," she said.
These nonprofit organizations support the federal Healthy Food Financing Initiative ("HFFI"), created in 2011 to fight the growing number of food deserts in the U.S. "Food deserts" are communities–predictably, low-income areas–where residents do not have access to affordable and healthy food. Both the House and Senate versions of the 2013 Farm Bill contain directives for $35 million in funding for HFFI, as well as additional incentives through the New Markets Tax Credit program.
Ms. Norwood created ECN in 2007 to connect emerging leaders back to their communities in the rural South. It is now a 500+ membership organization in Alabama, working to address economic inequity by creating strategies to support investment in healthy food systems. The Ford Foundation has been a financial supporter of ECN as part of the Foundation's project, Wealth Creation in Rural America.
Jessica Norwood is a community activist, advocate for rural wealth creation, and a frequent speaker on community development and leadership, voting rights, and funding for agriculture production and distribution. She is a recipient of the 2012 "40 Under 40" award from Mobile Bay [Alabama] Magazine.

After last season's improvement, new ownership, and the acquisition of Vladimir Guerrero, the Rangers are primed for a breakout season. At least, Josh Hamilton thinks so.
We've got so much talent it's crazy," he told the Abilne Reporter-News on Friday, when he spoke at the Fellowship of Christian Athletes Victory Dinner at the Abilene Civic Center. "The key is staying healthy. ... If we can stay healthy as a team, we've got such a great lineup from 1-to-9, and then the pitching obviously stepped up big time last year with (new co-owner) Nolan Ryan coming in and (pitching coach) Mike Maddux. It was such a dramatic difference from '08 to '09, and even if we can improve just a little bit on that going into '10, it will be a great year."
lt won't be easy for Texas. Not only did they finish 10 games out of the division, they also are seeing rival Seattle open up their pocketbooks. The Mariners have so far acquired new ace Cliff Lee, outfielder Milton Bradley, and 1st basmen Casey Kotchman.
Hamilton only played in 89 games last season, hitting the D.L. multiple times. His .268 average with 10 home runs and 54 RBIs were just a fraction of what he accomplished in 2008. Last week, the slugger reached an agreement with the Rangers on a one year, $3.25 million dollar deal. He is expected to move to leftfield from center, to make room for Julio Borbon.
"I think they moved me to left – they haven't really told me," he told the Reporter-News. "We read it on the Internet. But I'm going to be somewhere in the outfield this year.
Hamilton will be entering his 4th season in the big leagues. He is a career .292 hitter with 62 home runs.

Here is the science fiction book
Overclocked: Stories of the Future Present
by Cory Doctorow. It replaces
I Robot
I Robot
is one of the stories in the collection.
Have you ever wondered what its like to get bitten by a zombie? To live through a bioweapon attack? To have every aspect of your life governed by invisible ants? In Cory Doctorow's collection of novellas, he wields his formidable experience in technology and computing to give us mind bending sci-fi tales that explore the possibilities of information technology and its various uses run amok. "Anda's Game" is a spin on the bizarre new phenomenon of cyber sweatshops, in which people are paid very low wages to play online games all day in order to generate in-game wealth, which can be converted into actual money. Another tale tells of the heroic exploits of sysadmins systems administrators as they defend the cyber-world, and hence the world at large, from worms and bioweapons. And yes, there is a story about zombies, too.

Musing over Inspiration
Posted by: donnafaber8 on Jun 06, 2011
Where do these beautiful images come from?
A special friend of mine, referring to my latest collage piece entitled "Your Guardian Angel", asked me this. Her questions are sincere and thought-provoking, as she is typically deep in thought. I find her perspective rather unique, as well. After thinking on it for a week, I've realized I can't answer without exploring my muses and inspiration.
So here I find myself musing over inspiration.
My art and writing, the personally critical act of creating, is about feeling. It isn't about the cutting sword of thought or intellect, which is why I'm convinced creating is so important to our emotional health. It is as essential as breathing. My creativity starts with a feeling, seeks to convey feelings, and, I hope, provokes feelings. It is my utmost hope that when someone looks at an image I've created, they feel something. I don't care if it's adoration or discomfort, as long as they feel. Concurrently, if I let my emotional energy get drained by stress or fatigue, I just don't have the juice. And if the juice isn't there, the feeling isn't either and so no drawings or collage work gets done.
Our greatest goal should be to create without concern for the outcome. And I am aware this is easy for some and hard for others. In other words, don't think "will my art make me money?" or "will people like me more because of this?". Don't worry about things like, "oh, no one will like this" or "what would anyone want this for?"
No. No. No.
There is nothing we can do to control the reactions of others.
Worries about acceptance, failure or reward are expectations we tag to the outcome of our creativity, and if that expectation exists, the creative spark is dampened. When we create for the sake of creating, and we do it enthusiastically and courageously, people will respond to what moves them. What matters, the only thing that matters, is that we create.
The rest happens on its own.
Say that we're into photography, cooking or sewing; or acting, singing, writing or underwater basket weaving, for that matter. We do more, and we get better at it. Perhaps one day when we're feeling more confident, we get it out there a bit on-line or at a craft show. We give a gift to someone special. We take a chance and share more of ourselves to see what happens.
So, where does it start?
For me, it starts with a muse and with inspiration. What happens thereafter is built on a feeling and then fertilized with plenty of my plus-sized, over-active imagination.
A muse is someone or something that inspires an artist to create. I have a few. First, there is that very insistent voice inside of me that I've named Francine. Francine is all about defiance, rage and loving without boundaries. She rails against the societal norm and wants to do things her way! There is a distinct difference between feeling the urge to draw and feeling Francine shake the cage I have her in. She can be very persistent.
There are people in my life who inspire me, and these are my muses. I'm not always sure why, but these individuals rile me up in a way I must outwardly express. Maybe it's chemistry or tension. Perhaps it's passion in one of its many guises. I go with the flow, remaining grateful for these people and the magic they bring into my life. I have a number of celebrity muses, the most prominent of which are Dolly Parton, whom I've adored since before I was a teenager, and Catherine Deneauve, who I find absolutely stunning.
From the muse springs inspiration, arousal of the emotions to a special activity or creativity. It manifests differently with each of my favorite mediums.
When approaching pen and ink, I may look to one of the many, many pictures I've pulled from magazines. Now and again these images inspire me alone, no muse required. I might begin with an image as a reference knowing the end product will take on a life of its own. I rarely have a preconceived image but rather let the imagine work itself out, which at times can be a struggle. My "Queen of Wands", for example, is an example of this.
In this creative process, my eyes, hands, and mind work in tandem, but the piece itself is mistress, and I am its servant.
Collage work, which I love, is very different from creating with pen and ink. A pen and ink portrait is a commitment that requires time and endurance. Collage work can be quick, with free artistic flow and immediate gratification Often, I begin with a picture in my head. This is my destination. The pre-made stickers and embellishments, all those marvelous little pictures, textures, and sizes become stepping stones on the path. I know where I want the creative journey to lead, what the end result should look like, but the embellishments and I work hand-in-hand to get there. I feel like I'm leading the charge, but there is a compromise between me, the artist, and the materials. It all happens rather quickly, and the process requires a less intense focus.
So, my friend asked "where do these beautiful images come from?", and my answer would have to be they come from many places. They come from inspiration, from pictures, from the world around me, or from the way I feel. They come from people, places and things, and all the different parts of me working in concert to put what I feel into a picture or portrait.
They come from breathing … because to me, creating is breathing.

Follow the movement of the 2011 free agents in this list, broken down by position.
Seattle coach Pete Carroll says that despite the Seahawks' decision to release Owens he still believes the 38-year-old wide receiver can play in the NFL||||||| Owens arrived at Seahawks camp in terrific shape and looked good on the practice field, but couldn't transfer it to the games. He had just two catches for 41 yards in two preseason games that were more notable for his drops. But Carroll said the team would not rule out looking at Owens later in the season if needed.
Terrell Owens posted on his Twitter account that he is "no longer" a member of the Seattle Seahawks, writing, "I'm no longer a Seahawk. I THANK the organization 4 the opportunity, I'm truly blessed beyond belief. My FAITH is intact & will NOT waiver."||||||| Owens signed a one-year deal with Seattle earlier this month, just days before the first preseason game. He played the second and third preseason games for Seattle, but caught only one pass. Owens did not play in the NFL last season. He has started 201 of the 219 regular-season NFL games he has played. He has 1,078 receptions for 15,934 yards and 153 touchdowns - the second most in league history.
Owens had a disappointing debut for the Seahawks in Saturday's win over Denver, failing to catch any of the five passes thrown his way.||||||| Owens is trying to show he's fully recovered from a knee injury that kept him out of the NFL for the entire 2011 season, but in his first NFL game action since Week 15 of the 2010 season with Cincinnati, he was out of sync with quarterback Matt Flynn.
Owens will make his debut for the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday night when they travel to Denver for a preseason game against the Broncos.||||||| Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Thursday that Owens feels good and will see some time in the Seahawks' second preseason game. Owens signed with Seattle on Aug. 6 and had just a couple of days of practice before the preseason opener against Tennessee. Carroll said he didn't think it was fair to run Owens out there that quickly, but feels he's ready after two weeks of work.
Owens was back in Los Angeles packing up some belongings while the Seattle Seahawks were on the practice field Tuesday morning. Even though he was away from his new team, Owens was still the talk of training camp.||||||| Owens agreed to a one-year deal with the Seahawks on Monday. He returned to Los Angeles late Monday night, was expected back at the team's facility later Tuesday for meetings and to be on the practice field wearing No. 10 on Wednesday morning.

DB Cooper: The Legendary Daredevil
The Jump
After takeoff, Cooper ordered Mucklow to the cockpit with the rest of the crew. The cockpit door had no peephole, and the jet was not equipped with the remote cameras and monitors now employed on many commercial planes. The crew was left wondering as Capt. Scott did his best to maintain the mandated elevation and airspeed against a bucking wind.
At 8 p.m., a red light illuminated on the instrument panel to warn of an open door on the aircraft—the aft stairs.
Over the intercom, Scott said, "Is there anything we can do for you?" The response was curt: "No!" It was the last word the crew heard from Dan Cooper.
At 8:24, Scott noticed the slightest dip in the jet's nose, followed by a correcting dip of its tail. He suspected the aft stairs had been lowered, causing the jet to genuflect. Scott marked the spot, near the Lewis River, 25 miles north of Portland. The crew considered the possibility that Cooper had jumped, but it had no choice but to continue to Reno since there was no way to confirm the suspicion short of disobeying his order to stay in the cockpit.
The plane touched down in Reno at 10:15 p.m. The crew waited nervously for five minutes. Capt. Scott spoke over the intercom. Receiving no response, he cautiously opened the cockpit door. The passenger cabin was empty. The hijacker was gone, and he had taken with him most everything he carried on board, including his hat, overcoat and the briefcase bomb. The cash and one set of parachutes were gone, as well.
The leap was a remarkable feat.
Cooper had ambled down the aft stairs wearing both backpack and chestpack parachutes. He had a bag of money the size of a chubby toddler lashed to his body with nylon cords cut from the spare parachutes. He was either carrying or wearing a suit jacket, hat and raincoat. On his feet were leather street shoes. He stood at the bottom step, buffeted by a stinging wind and icy rain, and confronted a blind leap into unknowable terrain on a dark, stormy night. The air temperature at 10,000 feet was an estimated 7 degrees below zero. At Cooper's moment of truth, the plane was traveling at slightly faster than his mandated airspeed—170 knots, or about 195 mph. Yet Cooper followed through on his plan. He took a dive into the inky darkness. Waiting to greet him were the spiked tops of 150-foot Douglas firs and the dangerous crags and crevasses of mile-high mountains.
Cooper, of course, was never heard from again. No one has been able to prove that he got away. But no one has proven that he didn't.

It's not always influenza that kills, part 2
Dengue Fever is headed to the United States.
From Bloomberg.com: http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aWqWwATk6DpA&refer=home
Dengue Fever Threatens U.S. as Tropical Bugs Spread (Update2)
By Catherine Larkin
Jan. 8 (Bloomberg) -- Dengue fever, a potentially deadly virus usually found in the tropics, could begin spreading widely in the U.S. as mosquitoes that transmit the disease move into more states, according to two leading epidemiologists.
The disease has already struck Hawaii, Texas and Puerto Rico after decades of absence in the U.S., Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and colleague David Morens write in the Jan. 9 Journal of the American Medical Association. They expect the threat to persist with increased air travel and urban development.
More than 760,000 cases of dengue and almost 20,000 cases of its deadly form, dengue hemorrhagic fever, were reported in the Americas in the first 11 months of last year, according to the Pan American Health Organization. With no specific treatments or proven vaccines to prevent the infection, an outbreak could overwhelm communities, Fauci and Morens said.
``This is an important problem, and our options for control and prevention at the moment are not very good,'' said Morens, Fauci's senior scientific adviser, in a phone interview today. ``It's easy to forget when a disease has been away for a long period of time.''
Dengue can be caused by four kinds of flavivirus, a family of viruses that also includes yellow fever and West Nile. The Aedes mosquitoes that transmit dengue have been around for hundreds of years and have re-emerged in greater numbers since efforts to prevent yellow fever waned in the 1970s, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Climate-Change Effect
Increases in rainfall, temperature and humidity caused by global warming also favor the spread of mosquitoes. These types of weather changes may more than double the number of people exposed to dengue worldwide by 2080, according to the United Nations' 2007-2008 Human Development Report.
The World Health Organization estimates that more than 50 million cases of dengue infection occur each year. The flu-like illness leads to about 500,000 hospitalizations, mostly in children, and at least 2.5 percent of patients die.
Symptoms include high fever, headaches, joint and muscle pain, vomiting and a rash. Usually people with dengue recover within two weeks, according to the National Institutes of Health. The infection can be life-threatening when it turns into dengue hemorrhagic fever, which causes bleeding from the nose, gums or under the skin, or dengue shock syndrome, which causes massive bleeding and shock, according to the NIH.
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, based in Bethesda, Maryland, allocated $33.2 million in the fiscal year ended Sept. 30 for research on dengue and the development of vaccines, medicines and tools to diagnose the disease, according to a statement released today.
To contact the reporter on this story: Catherine Larkin in Washington at email@example.com .
And from Reuters: http://www.reuters.com/article/scienceNews/idUSN0847856420080108?feedType=RSS&feedName=scienceNews
Tropical dengue fever may threaten U.S.: report
WASHINGTON, Jan 8 (Reuters) - Dengue fever -- a tropical infection that usually causes flu-like illness -- may be poised to spread across the United States and urgent study is needed, health officials said on Tuesday.
Cases of the sometimes deadly mosquito-borne disease have been reported in Texas and this may be the beginning of a new trend, said Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and his senior scientific adviser, Dr. David Morens.
A warming climate and less-than-stellar efforts to control mosquitoes could accelerate its spread northwards, they cautioned.
"Widespread appearance of dengue in the continental United States is a real possibility," they wrote in a commentary in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
"Worldwide, dengue is among the most important reemerging infectious diseases, with an estimated 50 to 100 million annual cases, 500,000 hospitalizations and, by World Health Organization estimates, 22,000 deaths, mostly in children."
They compared dengue to West Nile virus, which first appeared in New York in 1999 and has now spread to the entire continental United States, Canada and Mexico. West Nile killed at least 98 people in the United States last year.
Both viruses are carried by mosquitoes. Dengue can be carried by the Aedes albopictus or Asian tiger mosquito -- first seen in 1985 in the United States -- as well as the more common Aedes aegypti species.
Most people infected with a dengue virus have no symptoms or a mild fever. It can cause minor bleeding from the nose or gums, but can also cause severe fever and shock and without treatment can kill.
"The combined effects of global urbanization and increasing air travel are expected to make dengue a growing international health problem for the foreseeable future," Fauci and Morens wrote.
(Reporting by Maggie Fox; editing by Julie Steenhuysen and Todd Eastham)
Could Florida and the Southeastern United States be added to the list soon, because of the proximity to the Caribbean, cruise ship passengers being bitten and taking the virus home to their home states, combined with the resurgence of Dengue in Puerto Rico? Unknown but quite possible. Perhaps even likely. We certainly don't suffer from a lack of mosquito activity. And look at the epidemics of norovirus that rage routinely now on cruise ships everywhere. Maybe that DEET repellent should be required slathering when passengers disembark at tropical ports, especially San Juan, Puerto Rico.

It is a joy to have the opportunity to serve as Women's Ministries President in the great state of Western North Carolina. As we begin our journey I trust that we will experience a oneness in Christ. We as women of God have an awesome privilege to minister not only to those close to us but to those around the world. We want to be women of purpose, prayer and passion. Passionate about serving in the areas God has called us to serve. Passionate about our families and friends knowing our Lord and Savior. Passionate about our personal relationship with our Heavenly Father. Jesus served with passion and we can do no less.
Women's Ministries exist as an avenue to empower women for Christian service. Around our world dedicated women are making a significant difference by devoting their time, talents and financial recourses to accomplish ministry. To help achieve these ministry objectives we want to provide an atmosphere where women can:

Bradley Cooper Skipped the Boxers for White House State Dinner
He's a man of many talents, and Bradley Cooper had to improvise his way through a recent evening at the White House in a too-tight tuxedo.
During his interview on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," the "American Hustle" hunk explained that he's been gaining weight to play Chris Kyle in "American Sniper," therefore his formalwear was much more snug than usual.
Bradley confessed, "I'm getting dressed like 10 minutes before I was supposed to go, and literally the pants go up to like here."
"I just started laughing, actually. This is hilarious. I'm going to meet the president. So I had to go commando, number one, because there was no room at all."
And when Ellen inquired as to just how tight these trousers were, Cooper blurted out, "They were crazy-town tight!"
Thankfully Cooper had his gorgeous girlfriend Suki Waterhouse on his arm, so most likely no one was looking at him anyway!

I have a month old Nokia 710. My phone's body heats up excessively when 3G is on and in sometimes while talking. With 3G on, it is always. While on call, it happens sometimes. I have updated to latest using Zune. I am thinking this is a glitch in WP7 and can be fixed with a OS firmware update but maybe the handset is also at fault? Has anyone faced this at all?
Thanks guys

All phones will get warm during use., this is perfectly normal.
However, if you feel it is getting uncomfortably hot, you should take it to a Nokia Care point as it sound more like a Hardware issue
If this Post is helpful. A click on the White Kudos star is always Appreciated

I'd take it to your nearest Care point if this is the case. That is not normal and is unlikely to be a software issue

@Kevgallacher While it's commendable that you are trying to defend the indefensible (Nokia), I do believe that Lumia (both 710 and 800) are sub-standard smartphones, at least for their price in India. I bought my Lumia 710 over possibly better and certainly cheaper options because I liked Nokia a lot, and I really DID want to like this phone. But there are so many things wrong with it that I just cannot. I do love Windows Phone, and I do believe that if Nokia can sustain themselves then they will be the people who make the best ones for Windows, these two p.o.s just do not cut it. Not in 2012.

So many different opinions here, I've been very satisfied over my Lumia 800, in both build quality and customer service, the price was also pretty decent here in Europe, at least compared to the iPhone (really the only device I have used in the recent years).
So far, and I've had my Lumia since December, I'd not call it sub-standard by any means, in fact I think it's been better so far than other devices like Samsung or HTC/Apple.
Not trying to defend Nokia here or anything, I haven't used Nokia phone for ages since Symbian started to be the standard OS on their devices, because it was just pure **bleep**, but I've been anticipating the new WP7 phones very much.
Just my opinion.
08-03-2012 14:25 - edited 08-03-2012 15:03
I don't see how there are lots of things wrong with it the only issues I have with mine is battery life which funnily enough wasn't an issue until the January update but even then its nowhere near as bad as some people on here are saying, I get at least 24hrs off a single charge I remember it being a bit better before the update the other issue is the capacitive buttons not lighting up but this is getting fixed. The OS is fine in my opinion and is better than Android or iOS. I think this Nokia phone us much better than my previous HD7.
Also a little off topic how did a question about the temperature of the phone turn into a conversation about how its a sub standard phone, there was nothing subjective about my previous comment at all i wasnt defending the phone. All I was saying is that its not a common problem, this is the first I have heard of the Lumia feeling too hot.
08-03-2012 15:33
In Europe the phone is much cheaper, relatively speaking, than in India. It costs Rs 15,000 in India (after reduction, it was originally Rs 18,000 and I bought it at this price) which is about 225 euros (270 euros without reduction).
That is a lot of money in India, especially for someone like me who's just started his first job. For that price, I don't think its wrong to expect to get a Gyroscope, tethering from the word go, the simple ability to end calls (I am still shocked that a phone can clear the design process with such a basic flaw) and more than anything else, a phone that lasts the bloody day. I maybe have a piece that is more defective than most, but my battery life absolutely sucks, even with minimal usage. 1300 mAh is way too less, even if it gives me the option of replacing it at least.
I'm sorry, but I really think this phone isn't any good. The Lumia 800 may be a bit better, but even that is too expensive in India. I have high hopes from the 900 though.

Hello, kelvinluke.
Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions.
Your Nokia Lumia phone is a sophisticated modern smartphone with a powerful processor, graphics acceleration and many other advanced features to enhance your user experience; it is natural that in some usage scenarios it will become warm. Unless the performance and stability of your phone are seriously affected whilst the phone is warm, you should not have anything to worry about. There are systems in place to restrict power consumption to essential features if the phone does become excessively hot.

organ, in biology, a group of tissues in a living organism that have been adapted to perform a specific function. In higher animals, organs are grouped into organ systems; e.g., the esophagus, stomach, and liver are organs of the digestive system.
In the more advanced animals, there are usually 10 organ systems: integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine (hormonal), digestive, respiratory, circulatory, excretory, and reproductive. These systems appear gradually in the lower animals and attain their full complexity and functional specialization in the higher animals. In plants the primary organs are the stem, root, and leaf, all of which help to nourish the plant, and the reproductive organs (e.g., flowers, seed, and spores). As with animals, these organs are responsible for the basic life-sustaining functions of the organism.

Here's the thing about waiting until the last day of the year to seal up a playoff appearance: You're hoping the weird breaks of baseball all go your way. The Braves were three outs away from a one-game playoff. But after a Hunter Pence squib, the Phillies have a 4-3 lead going into the bottom of the 13th inning.
Braves reliever Scott Linebrink walked Brian Schneider with one out, and Chase Utley singled through the right side with two down. Pence then nubbed a ball to Dan Uggla's left, and the second baseman never had a chance.
After holding a huge September lead and looking like they were locks for the playoffs, the Braves have just about coughed up the Wild Card after coughing up a game they had in their grasp.
The Braves will have Chipper Jones, Dan Uggla, and Freddie Freeman up in the bottom of the 13th to save their season.

US forces tried but failed to rescue reporter James Foley and other US hostages held in Syria by the Islamic State (IS), officials and reports said a day after the militants released a video showing the journalist's beheading. The Pentagon and the White House did not say if the covert mission earlier this summer was to rescue Foley, who was kidnapped in northern Syria in November 2012 and whose murder has provoked revulsion and condemnation. The video of Foley's killing also showed a second US reporter, Steven Sotloff, being paraded by a black-clad IS militant who warned that he would also be killed if US President Barack Obama does not stop air strikes on IS positions in Iraq.
NEW YORK (AP) — Derrick Rose heard the fans chanting his name, and yes, he would've loved to give them what they wanted.

August 22
Today, a ridge of high pressure is anchored over the Eastern half of the nation. This is providing Northeasterly winds, clear skies and Less humidity (resulting in a pleasant feel, outside). This ridge of high pressure will remain anchored over the area until it begins to break down on Friday, in advance of our next weather maker. Elsewhere, there is a developing Low Pressure System in the Northern Plains
In the Tropics, eyes are fixed on three different areas of interest in the Atlantic Basin, to include T.S. Isaac & T.D. TEN.
To read our latest Hurricane Blog, follow the link (at the bottom of the page) to the Hurricane Center.
Today, pleasant conditions are abundant and will continue as we remain under the influence of this ridge of high pressure that has anchored itself over the viewing area. Expect low humidity values, clear skies (with a few clouds) and comfortable conditions to remain in the planner throughout the later part of the work week. Friday, we will see increasing clouds, rising rain chances and returning moisture, resulting in the warm and muggy summertime pattern that we are used to.
For the rest of the day
Expect plenty of sunshine with In & Out, light cloud cover, becoming partly cloudy at times. Rain chances will remain low through Thursday and begin increasing Friday afternoon. As we are on the southern periphery of a High Pressure Ridge, Easterly winds will continue today and begin shifting later on Thursday. This high pressure is also keeping the humidity values low and assisting our overnight temperature in getting much cooler than we have been seeing.
So, we will see Clear skies with a little cloud cover, Temps in the upper 80's and lower 90's, Low rain chances, low humidity values an comfortable conditions today and tomorrow.
For the rest of the 7day planner
A ridge of high pressure will remain anchored over the area until the later part of the week. We will then see increasing clouds, coupled with rising rain chances, as high pressure breaks down. With this being said, expect temperatures to also remain low, as well. Through the weekend, temperatures will gradually begin to rise and humidity values will rise as wind directions swing to the South & SE and the setup returns to a typical summertime pattern.
TODAY...Expect clearing skies through the morning, becoming mostly sunny to partly cloudy with in and out clouds and seasonal temps. Highs 89-95. East wind 2-10 mph.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...Fair sky and continued pleasant
conditions. Lows 64-70. Little or no wind.

New Mexico Occupy movement couldn't resist approaching me after seeing Wednesday's blogpost on Gov. Martinez' favoring this gun control legislation.
She does! @Gov_Martinez got elected by Democrat voters breaking away from corrupt @NMDEMS. Now she's moving back to center. @PolitixFireball—
Occupy New Mexico (@0ccupyNewMexico) February 14, 2013
I find it ironic that the administrator of the account implies that the New Mexico Democrat party is corrupt– of course it is, but the ties that link Occupy to the Democrat party make this a sweet comment. In truth, one part of the Democrat Party (Democrats of Grant County) taught a 'Teach In' on what the Occupy movement was about at the Western New Mexico University in the autumn of 2011. The flyer, which can still be found on the New Mexico Democrats website, reads as follows:
Why are they protesting? Why are they so upset? Why should we care?
What does this have to do with us?
WNMU/Community Teach In
on the Occupy Wall Street Movement
Tuesday, October 18th 6:30pm
Miller Library on WNMU Campus
Presented by WNMU Faculty and Community Leaders
Dr. Emma Bailey, Professor of Sociology
Dr. Mary Hotvedt, Chair, Grant Co. Democratic Party
Mr. Hueteotl López, Community Organizer
Dr. Kooros Maskooki, Professor of Finance
Dr. Felipe de Ortego y
Gasca, Scholar in Residency
Refreshments Provided
Sponsored by Miller Library, the Department of Social Sciences, MEChA, and the Democratic Party of Grant County
So the New Mexico Democrat part and the Occupy movement have clear ties and a very similar agenda to tear down our nation's founding principles.
Get real, my friend ~ Instituting background check for gun buyers is not "taking away rights." @PolitixFireball @Gov_Martinez @NMDEMS #nmleg—
Occupy New Mexico (@0ccupyNewMexico) February 14, 2013
Is it not taking away our Second Amendment rights and restricting them?!
@PolitixFireball Background check for gun buyers is already common gov't policy. Never been ruled unconstitutional by SCOTUS, has it? #nmleg—
Occupy New Mexico (@0ccupyNewMexico) February 14, 2013
@PolitixFireball ~ Yes but the #liberty of people to possess guns must be balanced with people's right to be free from #GunViolence! #NMLEG—
Occupy New Mexico (@0ccupyNewMexico) February 14, 2013
How do we figure that one? If you have a gun and you can protect yourself you will are less likely to be a victim!
When u join us to protest U.S. #Drone strikes & endless war abroad, we'll take seriously ur opposition to gov't overreach. @PolitixFireball—
Occupy New Mexico (@0ccupyNewMexico) February 14, 2013
I find no problem protesting the use of drones. I would actually be happy to do so, but I generally shower daily and may not be accepted…I have also been told I 'give Democrats nightmares' and as we have seen above, some Occupy groups in New Mexico are sanctioned and organized by the Democrat Party, so…I should probably stay clear of the Democrat sanctioned Occupy groups which plan to have drone protests…
If a criminal is going to rob a bank or murder someone will obtaining a gun illegally stop him/her? @0ccupyNewMexico—
Politix Fireball (@PolitixFireball) February 14, 2013
To which I did not receive a reply…so…
@PolitixFireball Your Q is a non sequitur & moot. We have ~300 million guns in America. At this point, anyone who wants can get them.—
Occupy New Mexico (@0ccupyNewMexico) February 14, 2013
What is the point of these gun show background checks?
@PolitixFireball Um. HB 77 restricts criminals who want to buy guns at gun shows. Honest people can still buy guns. UR very confused! #nmleg—
Occupy New Mexico (@0ccupyNewMexico) February 14, 2013
Which, once again doesn't make sense unless all people who attempt to by guns at gun shows are criminals.
@PolitixFireball U have not explained how it's "punishment" or "restriction" 2 submit 2 background check. Nothing 2 lose if UR not criminal!—
Occupy New Mexico (@0ccupyNewMexico) February 14, 2013
Bottom line. It is our RIGHT as guaranteed by the Second Amendment:
It is a restriction because our founders didn't intend for us to be under restrictions such as this. @0ccupyNewMexico #OriginalIntent—
Politix Fireball (@PolitixFireball) February 14, 2013
After a second blogpost on Thursday the admin for the Occupy New Mexico account returned:
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
- Second Amendment to the United States Constitution
* * *
Yet this Occupy group insists that this is not an encroachment on our freedoms?
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Benjamin Franklin
Liberty is of value. Once we lose it, we can rarely regain the same level of freedom.

Jimmy Fallon's Capital One Cash Credit Card Commercial
Jimmy Fallon's Capital One Cash Credit Card Commercial
Saturday, September 17, 2011 - 9:17 PM
Capital One Bank
The new Capital One commercial with Jimmy Fallon and a cute baby advertising the new Capital One Cash Credit Card is a good one. IMHO, it's better than those Venture Card commercials with the Visigoths and the one with Alec Baldwin (although Alec's last line when he's in the ****pit is a good one).
In this new commercial, Jimmy Fallon tries to convince the baby that he should want 50% more cash, but the baby isn't easy to convince. First the baby throws Cheerios into Jimmy's face. Then he throws a fire extinguisher.

I know it is a short notice, but I still wanted to throw it out there and see what you guys came back with.
Pretty much every blog on SBN has something of a similar game thread. You show the teams helments or logos, you give the date, time, place and channel and maybe you throw in some stats and a brief preview.
I was hoping to offer something different, something unique to WCG. Maybe it is just in the format or look or maybe it is a change of the info that goes up, but if you have any ideas or would like to take a shot at sending a design format or something in, I'd be interested in seeing it.

Learning The Business Through Video
Every businessman must always improve their business knowledge at all times. The need for business knowledge is essential in order to maintain and improve the sustainability of its business. There are three ways to obtain business knowledge, namely:
1. Through formal education or attending a seminar. This means that businesses owner should take the time to be in the classroom.
2. Learn on their own. Learn on their own can be through business books or download video in safari.
3. Combination of both. It means besides formal education, businessman is also keen to read books and watch videos about the business.
OK, forget for a moment about the business through formal learning (school or attending a seminar), because this is very easy, you just register at school and then attend the class or seminar. What we discuss now is about learning business through video.
Why learning business through video? Hey, wake up .. It is a multimedia era. All business activities including learning can take advantage from multimedia technology. Moreover, knowledge is more absorbed through video than reading a book.
Are there videos about business studies? There are so many! Ranging from free to paid video. Surely you know Youtube. Well, on this site you can get a lot of videos about business matter. You have to download and watch! To download videos from Youtube, I suggest you use safari video downloader.
Why? Because this software is very easy to use. After downloading and installing video downloader safari, it will automatically displayed download video button when you open a video on youtube through firefox. It's easy.
Additionally, safari video downloader enables the downloaded video can be converted to sound files in mp3 format. Obviously this is very useful. Business videos that you download and converted to mp3 file can listen when you're driving a car for example (obviously you cannot watch video while driving, instead).
You who have a tablet computer, the easiness to download videos in safari will be increasingly felt. Video you want to download can be done with a single touch of a safari download button on your tablet touch screen. I suggest, this software should always be in your business computer, laptop, iPad, or tablet computer.
No need to spend money to have a safari video downloader. This software is free, and this software will not harm your computer performance. There is no virus in it, 100% clean!

I just felt it's important to point out that sometimes people get the wrong impression regarding the results of first games. Sometimes, especially among teams with finesse offense (OU fits that category), it takes offenses more time to gel and develop as a cohesive unit. All you can really ask for is that a team improves from week to week, in that scenario.
Last night the Sooners looked...poorly...in their game against the UTEP Miners. Granted, UTEP played pretty hard in front of a home crowd, but most Sooner fans were pretty disappointed at what OU put on the field. I have this to say about that. First game impressions aren't important. Teams can play incredibly sloppy and still go on to a fine year. Case in point: 2004 KSU. KSU struggled to beat lowly Div1AA (at the time) Western Kentucky 27-13. Nobody could've expected much from the Wildcats and they finished strong at 4-7. Wait a minute....bad example. Hmmm. Okay, how about KSU 2011? KSU ground out a squeaker 10-7 over Eastern Kentucky, yet went on to finish 10-3. Hell, I think it would've been reasonable to expect KSU to finish 2-10 after their first game but they had a lot more success than anybody thought they'd have.
Anyway, I think it's obvious by now to most Sooner fans that we generally tend to start slow. Let's not forget the near losses to Alabama (Birmingham!) and lowly Utah State...and the straight up losses to TCU and BYU. OU tends to start slow out of the gate, and from that perspective I guess we shouldn't be surprised that the Sooners only beat UTEP 24-7. Plus maybe UTEP will be a lot better this year than anybody gives them credit for? We'll see....I can't help but think that game had to be a confidence builder for them.
Hopefully the Stoops Boys will kick the crap out of their unmotivated news clipping reading team. Just another disadvantage we'll have to live with...our boys are literate. If we were OSU or Alabama we wouldn't have to worry about our kids getting the big head from reading news clippings!
