Don't panic, it might take a little while, but things are bound to get better.
That's the advice to you- the investor, from CNBC commentator Greg Valliere.
Suby Von Haden and Associates invited Valliere to town to speak to investors in Madison Wednesday.
Valliere says to get things back on track, Congress first has to pass that financial bailout package.
But he warns, don't expect an instant turnaround when that happens.
"It would be naive to say the economy's going to turnaround immediately, once we get passage of the bailout bill. It's not going to happen. I think we go through the winter and possibly spring with the economy very soft. At some point, housing values will bottom. Once housing bottoms, I think things will turn around. It might be summer before it turns around. These cycles all have a pattern, and at some point next year, economy will start to look better," says Valliere.

Not Dead Yet! The Online Rebirth of WCBS-FM
By "Tom Webster":mailto:email@example.com, Edison VP
What has been lost amongst the brouhaha of WCBS-FM's departure is the fact that it didn't really leave…exactly. "Newsday":http://www.nynewsday.com/business/ny-bzradi0607,0,3474359.story doesn't mention it. "The New York Times":http://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/06/nyregion/06brucie.html?oref=login, and the "Daily News":http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/ent_radio/story/316312p-270623c.html don't mention it in their separate "eulogies" of Cousin Brucie. The Daily News's follow-up piece, "CBS Fans think they got Jack-ed":http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/ent_radio/story/316472p-270752c.html , barely gives it a sentence. Nonetheless, WCBS-FM, "The Greatest Hits of All Time", is still alive—at least for those of us who listen to radio on the Internet.
…the brand is not being extended as much as it is being evacuated from the path of the JACK tornado
"WCBSFM.com":http://www.wcbsfm.com is now a part of Infinity's "RadioMat":http://www.radiomat.com portfolio of stations, and is also being promoted as a future HD Radio multicast. In 2000, Edison and Arbitron presented the results of "The Side Channel Study: Extending Your Brand on the Internet":http://www.edisonresearch.com/home/archives/2000/12/the_side_channe_1.html and this appears to be what we have here—a side channel, though the brand is not being extended as much as it is being evacuated from the path of the JACK tornado. As it stands, WCBS-FM's abrupt departure from the airwaves has made a lot of Oldies listeners–and New York radio aficionados in general–fairly unhappy. For them, the new, "side channel" incarnation of WCBS-FM will provide little comfort. Had the switch been handled differently, the headlines might well be trumpeting the creation of a branded online Oldies channel as a spirited defense against the iPod barbarians at the gate instead of an endless source of "listeners got JACK'ed" headlines.
There are over a dozen stations already listed on Infinity's RadioMat (and they have similarly preserved WHFS and K-Rock 2 as exclusive online entities) so streaming unique content is nothing new for them. However, WCBS (along with fellow "retiree" WJMK) is the most prominent broadcast Oldies station to make the move to broadcasting exclusively online. Given the preponderance of 12-29 year olds on the Internet, what might an online Oldies station expect in terms of potential audience?
According to our most recent "Edison/Arbitron Internet and Multimedia Study":http://www.edisonresearch.com/homeimg/archives/2005/03/internet_multim_2.html, there is certainly great potential to reach the 45+ demographic that broadcast media has increasingly abandoned. Consider the following facts:
* Amongst persons 45+ with Internet access, 26% have listened to a radio station online.
* With this same group, 10% indicated that they use the Internet to hear the radio station that they currently listen to most, and 18% listen to stations outside their local area.
* The number one reason cited by Internet users 45+ for listening to online radio was "to listen to audio [they] cannot get elsewhere."
Since Oldies as a format is rapidly becoming "audio you cannot get elsewhere," one senses that moving WCBS-FM online is a risk, but not one without potential. Consider also that despite this demographic's diminished appeal on Madison Ave, apparently these Boomers didn't get the memo: 38% indicated that they had made a purchase over the Internet in the past month, and 45-54 year-olds also spent an average of $1209.00 over the Internet during the last 12 months, which is considerably more than the $524.00 that the "hot" 18-24 demographic spent. Even 55-64 year olds who had made Internet purchases over the last year spent an average of $838.00. As we have seen in our "series of Internet and Multimedia studies":http://www.edisonresearch.com/internet_studies.html over the years, streaming audio is widely used as a "soundtrack" for shopping online, so audio streams that cater to frequent spenders may prove to be lucrative channels for online advertising.
So Oldies has commercial potential as an Internet-only format, and perhaps even more as an on-demand/subscription content stream. After all, in the early days of XM, lots of people signed up solely to hear the all-reggae or all-blues stations. A compelling, well-produced Oldies stream might be one of the enticements to taking a chance on HD Radio. Certainly, the fact that the satellite radio operators are now targeting Oldies fans in New York and Chicago indicates that they are all too aware of the power of the format–and of the demographic it delivers.
Execution matters here, of course. Although RadioMat is fairly new, Internet Radio has been around a while. There are a _lot_ more people listening to Internet-only audio streams than there are subscribers to both satellite radio services, and some of the stations they are listening to have been around for almost a decade. Infinity has a great deal of catch-up to play here, and it shows. For instance, although I have already registered at RadioMat to hear KYOU, I had to re-register to listen to WCBS – hardly an integrated user experience (and a detail that might turn off some listeners, wary of receiving their SPAM in triplicate.) The fact that the WCBSFM.com website itself consists of a brief letter and no fewer than _sixteen_ banner ads only reinforces that perception.
There are also lots of niggling little typos and inconsistencies on the site that add up to create the impression that the station was launched on the fly, and not as part of an integrated marketing strategy. Even the player itself brandishes a logo for "WCBS FM 101.1 (a now meaningless and confusing frequency) The Greatest Hits of All Time," while the actual audio stream is labeled "The Greatest Hit's [sic] of the 60's and 70's." Picayune? No, just some of the many shelves left undusted even as the "Grand Opening" banner is unfurled.
When Broadcast Radio dips its toe into the Internet audio space, its competition goes way, way beyond the other 20 or so signals in their individual markets who may also be streaming. Look at this online-only "radio station from Poland":http://www.radiosfera.pl/ for example. They may only be a handful of twenty-somethings in a Warsaw garage somewhere, but it's a pretty well-designed site, even if you don't speak Polish. The more broadcasters continue to launch "under construction" sites, the more they miss an opportunity to excel and create a valuable, positive first impression. Design is as integral to the package as content. To paraphrase noted usability consultant "Steve Krug":http://www.sensible.com/, all you have to do when designing a site is ask "What would Amazon.com do?" Then do that thing. People will keep coming back.
Infinity is being vilified in the New York press for "killing Cousin Brucie," but I take them at their word and hope that many of the great personalities of the station do return to its online incarnation and provide the "Good Times" that must accompany "Great Oldies." Then, and only then, can broadcast radio flex its real muscle and demonstrate its competitive advantage over five guys in a Warsaw garage. Radio, however, _must_ get its Internet production values in line with its on-air production values.

PROVIDENCE --- Woonsocket High earned the dual-meet crown in the Dwyer Division with a sweep of Ponaganset and West Warwick. The Villa Novans, last year's divisional champions, concluded a perfect 8-0 season in the league.
"One of the goals this year was to try and go undefeated," said WHS coach Dan Richard. "I am not sure a Woonsocket girls' team has ever done that in indoor. That was one of the goals. We got some new girls out this year that helped. It's been a good year. They worked hard in practice and stayed focused on what we needed to do."
WOONSOCKET --- Sophomore Cody L'Heureux had one of the best games of his young high school career on Monday night, as he scored 18 points in a losing cause in Woonsocket High's 73-56 defeat at home to Cranston West High.
Jabree Roberts added 13 points and Jarome Robinson also tossed in 11 for the Villa Novans, who are 1-12 in Division I play and 4-14 overall.
WOONSOCKET --- After cruising to a pair of lopsided Division I victories over the weekend, Mount St. Charles Academy got just what it needed on Monday night -- a competitive contest against one of the top public school teams in Eastern Mass.
The Mounties turned in one of their best games of the season and received strong contributions from all three of their lines and goaltender Dan Foster in a closer-than-it-appears 5-0 win over Needham High at Adelard Arena.
WOONSOCKET — Having lost the use of his legs, Donald Paterson doesn't leave his third-floor apartment at Kennedy Manor as often as he'd like these days. But tomorrow, his wife, Trudy, will help him into his wheelchair, jostle him into their minivan and take him to meet someone he's been waiting a long time to see: the boy who left him a cripple.
More than nine months after he was stabbed in the back, Paterson expects to confront his alleged attacker in Family Court.
It will be the first time the 74-year-old retired machinist has ever seen the boy.

National Transportation Safety Board
Office of Public Affairs
The following is an update on the National Transportation Safety Board's investigation of US Airways flight 1549, which ditched into the Hudson River on January 15, 2009.
The left engine, which had separated from the aircraft during the ditching, was recovered from the Hudson River on Friday afternoon, January 23, 2009. The initial external examination of the engine revealed dents on both the spinner and inlet lip of the engine cowling. Five booster inlet guide vanes are fractured and eight outlet guide vanes are missing. A visual examination of the engine did not reveal evidence of organic material; there was evidence of soft body impact damage.
Both of the engines will be boxed and shipped to the manufacturer in Cincinnati where NTSB investigators will oversee a complete tear-down of each engine. Advanced technology will be employed to detect any organic material not apparent during the initial visual examination.
Several NTSB investigators remain on-scene and are supervising Airbus technicians as the aircraft wreckage is prepared for long-term storage. This process includes removing the wings and the horizontal and vertical stabilizers. The aircraft wreckage will be shipped to a secure storage facility where it will remain available to the NTSB throughout the course of the investigation.
The NTSB wishes to acknowledge the support and cooperation of the numerous federal, state and local agencies that worked so closely with Safety Board investigators and were of great assistance throughout the entire on-scene phase of the investigation.
NTSB Office of Public Affairs: (202) 314-6100
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is an independent federal agency charged with determining the probable cause
of transportation accidents, promoting transportation safety, and assisting victims of transportation accidents and their families.

More about this product
Reduce irritation and strengthen problematic and sensitive skin with this calming and toning mask that also charges the skin with vitamins.
Average rating: 4 out of 5 hearts
By Sd on August 28, 2011
Appears to work wonders
I used this mask the other day when I felt like I was getting a breakout. It felt very tight on my skin after about 15 minutes, and then I went to wash it off with a damp face towel. While I can't attribute the subsequent healing of my skin to this mask alone, I can say that the redness and bumpiness were gone the next morning. The only potential negative thing I have to say about this mask is that it seemed inordinately hard to get off. I really had to scrub (gently) with a wash cloth to get rid of all traces of the mask
By Kim on March 23, 2013
Calming and toning mask
I am new to trying Ilike products but so far the few I've tried have been pretty great, including this one. After using this mask my face feels very calmed and toned. I chose this mask in particular to help with red and sensitive skin. I've used it a few times now and I really like it. Looking forward to trying more Ilike products, specifically the ones with rosehip.
Directions for use
For optimal results, apply to cleansed skin over entire face and neck area and leave on for 15-20 minutes. Remove with a damp face towel. Use 1-2 times per week or as otherwise directed. Exfoliation increases the effects of masks.

Legislators are seeing orange over hunting issueBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press BurEau | February 10,2013Vermont Fish & Wildlife Photo
John Michael Grab, clad in a blaze-orange vest and cap, poses with his first deer in 2010. The question of requiring hunters to wear blaze orange is a political hot potato.MONTPELIER After grappling for more than two decades with the thorny issue of hunting attire, lawmakers this year may punt a longstanding controversy over blaze orange to a 14-person board.
The topic has dogged lawmakers since 1993, when Vermont hunters flocked en masse to the well of the House to decry a bill that would have required them to wear fluorescent orange while in the field.
Most recently, the Vermont Senate in 2009 sought to institute a blaze-orange mandate after an accidental shooting in Granby. But vocal opposition again killed the measure, and Vermont retained its status as one of only 10 states without a blaze-orange requirement.
Now, the Shumlin administration wants to shift authority over the issue away from lawmakers and into the hands of the Fish & Wildlife Board.
Fish & Wildlife Commissioner Patrick Berry told lawmakers last week that the 14 members serving on the panel are ideally suited to evaluate the issue.
This is such a hot issue in the Legislature, Berry said. And the 14 board members are all hunters who are much closer to this issue and who understand it better.
Brian Ames, president of the Fish & Wildlife Board, which is made up of one gubernatorial appointee from each county, said he agrees with Berry.
I do feel that if the conversation is going to take place, it should take place at the board level, where it will be handled by the people who are most affected by it, said Ames, who represents Windham County on the board. Whether or not the board will have any inclination or desire to pick it up, Im not sure.
Ames said that in his view, it is time for Vermont to revisit the blaze orange mandate. Ames said he cant speak for the board, and hasnt polled its members, but that he personally thinks hunters should have to wear blaze orange, at least during firearms season for large game.
To me its a commonsense issue, Ames said, But Vermonters are a very free-spirited lot, and some truly dont appreciate being told what they have to wear while afield.
The blaze-orange measure, which has the support of key lawmakers, is one of several provisions in a wide-ranging hunting and fishing bill that looks to keep wild pigs out of Vermont, boost ice-fishing numbers, expand the amount of huntable acreage in the state, and give terminally ill adults access to moose-hunting permits.
Cautionary tales from neighboring states, Berry said, are prompting new efforts in Vermont to keep feral hogs from gaining a foothold in the Green Mountains. The proposed legislation would ban all importation of wild boar, a provision that would affect the one captive hunting facility that now offers paying clients the opportunity to hunt them.
Theyre incredibly destructive, they bring with them all kinds of viruses and diseases, and they are such tough critters that once theyre out there and able to reproduce, they are really hard to eradicate, Berry said.
Another section of the bill would add another free fishing day to the calendar, this one in winter. Berry said its part of an effort to boost interest in hard water fishing.
It creates an incentive to get folks out there ice fishing, Berry said. We recognize maybe theres a small hit in terms of lost fees, but the hope is that people who wouldnt otherwise try it go out there for a day, have a ball, and then go out and buy a license.
The legislation also aims to find a middle ground in land-posting laws, something Berry said might open up more privately owned acreage to hunting. Under current law, posting is an all-or-nothing proposition that requires landowners to decide whether to give blanket access or impose a blanket prohibition.
Given the opportunity, Berry said, many landowners would choose a by-permission-only standard, something that would give them discretion over whos allowed to hunt and who isnt.
The proposed legislation would create a new tier in land-posting statute, giving residents control over who gets access to their land and who doesnt.
Vermont already sets aside five special moose permits annually for terminally ill children and war veterans. But Berry is asking lawmakers to create two more slots for avid adult hunters near death. Berry said the request comes in response to pleas from lifelong hunters diagnosed with a terminal illness.
For many hunters, winning a moose permit is the equivalent of winning Powerball. And for folks with a life-threatening disease, this is all theyve wanted to do, they havent ever won a permit, and we have absolutely no room to move with regard to existing regulations to do anything about that, Berry said.MORE IN This Just InRutland City Police said Friday evening the department's phone lines were down.

The experimental, amateur-built airplane was in the Phase 1 flight test phase and had accumulated about 4 hours flight time when the accident occurred. The pilot reported that he had noticed low fuel pressure during the accident flight. He activated the fuel boost pump, which returned the fuel pressure to within normal limits. As the airplane approached the intended destination airport, the pilot smelled smoke and observed a fire in front of his right foot. He discharged a fire extinguisher, which put out the fire; however, the cabin filled with smoke. He closed the fuel valve and opened the pilot's side door. The door separated and some of the smoke dissipated. The pilot observed a pasture off to the left through the open door. He subsequently landed on an uphill slope, causing substantial damage to the fuselage and right wing. A postaccident examination of the engine revealed a loose fuel line fitting at the mechanical fuel pump. The fire occurred along the lower fuselage skin in the center console area, which ran forward to aft between the pilot and copilot seats. The lower fuselage skin was burned through as a result of the in-flight fire.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

It's fair to say my GSX-R750 has lived most of its short life with the rev needle pinging against the redline on track. It's a sensational-handling bit of kit, devilishly fast and intoxicatingly involving. But most surprisingly it's really good at long journeys, too. So far I've been to Le Mans, travelled over to the TT and been to Le Touquet. ...

Like the new Suzuki GSX-R600, which rocketed to the top of the supersports pile in our recent group test, the new GSX-R750's rolling chassis and bodywork is completely new. But it doesn't get the 600's radical engine overhaul and the resulting 1kg extra weight reduction. MCN's Michael Neeves rode the new bike at the Monte Blanco circuit. brightcove.createExperiences();

Back in my golf writing days, I heard stories of the occasional mugging in remote corners of the Van Cortlandt Park Golf Course in the Bronx, the country's oldest public golf course, but I never knew if it was urban legend or true.
Unfortunately, South Florida golf lore now has a real criminal incident that tops it.
A golfer at Deerfield Country Club in Deerfield Beach was shot during a robbery attempt on Thursday. (UPDATE: The Broward Sheriff's Office has reported that the victim died on Friday at the hospital.)

WASHINGTON – After a tortured day of bargaining, setbacks and speech-making Sunday, Republicans and Democrats had yet to reach agreement to avert the fiscal cliff. That left them barely a day to strike a deal, and then pass it through both the Senate and the House.
If that doesn't happen, a set of painful tax hikes will begin to kick in Tuesday, followed soon after by deep cuts in government spending.
On Sunday, there were some small reasons for hope. Negotiations shifted to the capital's two unofficial closers – Vice President Biden and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who together had resolved past crises over tax hikes and the limit on federal borrowing.
And Republicans also dropped a demand that had briefly become a major sticking point: that Democrats agree to a cost-saving, but politically sensitive, reduction in Social Security benefits. The demand, which involved using a less generous measure of inflation called chained CPI, would effectively reduce the cost-of-living increases in Social Security benefits over time.
Previously, the GOP had demanded it in exchange for President Obama's request to extend emergency unemployment benefits and cancel deep cuts to the Pentagon and other agency budgets. A Democratic aide close to the talks described the request as a poison pill.
Even after that demand was set aside, the broader talks remained hung up over the same issues that had stalled them for months. Republicans and Democrats could not agree on how many taxpayers should see their tax rates go up, or about whether to put off a massive $100 billion spending cut called the sequester.
By the evening, the best thing that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., could say about the talks was that there were still talks going on.
There's still time left to reach an agreement, and we intend to continue negotiations, Reid said on the Senate floor. The chamber will be back in session at 11 a.m. today.
It is a time-honored congressional tradition that any deal must be preceded by hours of doomsaying and pessimism. It's easier to sell a deal, of course, if you've first conditioned your colleagues and the public to fear there will be no deal at all.
On Capitol Hill on Sunday, even lawmakers seemed confused about whether they were watching another round of that familiar late-stage political theater – or whether, this time, the pessimism was genuine.
The two parties are so close that they can't afford to walk away, said Sen. Mike Johanns, R-Neb., calling the fits and starts of this weekend just normal posturing in high-level negotiations. I continue to be optimistic.
But, as optimistic as Johanns was, other senators were gloomy.
I think we're going over the cliff, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., wrote on Twitter.
It just looks like we can't govern, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, said on the Senate floor. She said she was horrified that the last few days before her retirement would be spent on a complete meltdown.
The fiscal cliff includes the expiration of Bush-era tax cuts, plus the sequester that Congress set up during the 2011 debt-ceiling fight. Lawmakers believed, back then, that these cuts were so big, and so broad, that even this gridlocked Congress would have to come back and figure out a better solution.
On Sunday, it looked as if they were wrong.
On Capitol Hill, Sunday's events revealed a new – and troubling – dynamic in these negotiations. It had been assumed, beforehand, that the most difficult part of averting the fiscal cliff would not be striking a deal. Instead, it would be passing that deal through the fractious, GOP-led House.
On Sunday, however, it seemed that the Senate, and the Democrats, would also be an obstacle. Reid said in the afternoon that Democrats were unwilling to respond to an offer that McConnell had delivered to Reid's office Saturday evening – nearly 19 hours earlier.
McConnell, then, reached out to Biden – with whom he brokered deals to end standoffs over tax hikes in late 2010, and over the debt ceiling in August 2011.
President Obama has sought to keep the pressure on Congress to act, including taping his appearance for Meet the Press.
What Congress needs to do, first and foremost, is to prevent taxes from going up for the vast majority of Americans, Obama said on the show.
Failing to reach a deal for funding the government will slow the economy and harm most families, he said. He has advocated a plan that would raise taxes on the wealthiest 2 percent.
There is a basic fairness that is at stake in this whole thing that the American people understand and they listened to an entire year's debate about it. They made a clear decision about the approach they prefer, which is a balanced, responsible package.
They rejected the notion that the economy grows best from the top down. They believe that the economy grows best from the middle class out. And at a certain point, it is very important for Republicans in Congress to be willing to say, We understand we're not going to get 100 percent. We are willing to compromise in a serious way in order to solve problems.'
McConnell's spokesman Don Stewart responded Sunday by saying, While the president was taping those discordant remarks yesterday, Senator McConnell was in the office working to bring Republicans and Democrats together on a solution.

Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville: The Dare Mark Campaign
By Daniel E. Sutherland
Even the most massive battle is only part of a larger campaign. From the winter of 1862 through 1863, the Confederacy experienced major victories at Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville, showing up the Union's weaknesses in strategy and preparation. As to the title, a Confederate soldier referred to the Rappahannock River as "the Dare Mark" as it was a strategic point that must be controlled, and the campaign described here reflects that conflict.
This book is part of the Great Campaigns of the Civil War series.

The highly publicized hacking of the iCloud accounts of dozens of celebrities was disclosed over Labor Day weekend and has raised larger, more serious concerns regarding the security of personal and corporate data held in the cloud.
Several explanations for how the hack was achieved have been offered, with some initial pointing the finger at potential flaws in Apple's security system. In a press release on Tuesday, Apple denied that the hacking stemmed from "any breach in any of Apple's systems," and pointed to "a very targeted attack on user names, passwords and security questions,… More

The Capel coaching family is savoring every NBA playoff win by the Philadelphia 76ers.
Jeff Jr. is an assistant with the Sixers, who are on the verge of eliminating the top-seeded Chicago Bulls in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. He has two sons in college coaching - Jeff III is an assistant at Duke and Jason is head coach at Appalachian State - and both are able to keep a close watch on their dad's recent success during their offseasons.
"This is my first win in the playoffs (in Game 2) so I was really excited the other night," Jeff Jr. said. "Both my boys called me and congratulated me on getting my first win in the playoffs. We talk every day pretty much, the three of us bouncing ideas off each other. As much advice as I give them, I get from them. It's really good."
His first trip to the NBA playoffs came with the Charlotte Bobcats two years ago; he was an assistant on Larry Brown's staff. That trip ended quickly though - the Bobcats were swept in the first round by the Orlando Magic. However, the eighth-seeded 76ers are up 3-1 against the Bulls in the best-of-seven series and can advance to the conference semifinals with a win in Chicago on Tuesday night.
Few people can understand Jeff Jr.'s emotions during these playoffs quite like his sons, who go through the same thing from November through March with the Blue Devils and Mountaineers.
"The thing is we don't take it for granted, that's the big thing," said Jeff III, who was also head coach at VCU and Oklahoma. "We're excited. We know this is a very hard profession that we've chosen that has very high highs and really low lows.
"One of the things dad tried to teach Jason and I as we were growing up is it's always somewhere in the middle. Your highs can't be too high and your lows can't be too low ... but we're excited right now."
They haven't made it to a game in person yet, but they'll get more chances the longer the Sixers keep playing in the playoffs.
"It's awesome because in the coaching profession, nothing's ever promised," Jason said. "We're all really proud of him and I'm definitely glued to the television, cheering on the Sixers. I'm even cheering on Elton Brand, who kicked my butt a few times when he was at Duke."
Jeff Jr. spent 12 years as a college head coach at Fayetteville State, North Carolina A&T and Old Dominion. He also was a head coach in the NBA Development League before becoming an assistant for the Bobcats in their inaugural season in 2004-05 and remaining with the franchise until Brown's firing in December 2010.
He joined Doug Collins' staff with the Sixers in November. Doug's son, Chris, is an assistant alongside Jeff III with the Blue Devils.
Both Jeff III and Jason grew up watching their father work the sideline first in high school and then in college, including when they were Wake Forest ball boys while their father was an assistant there in the 1980s. In fact, an 11-year-old Jeff III appeared on the cover of Wake Forest's 1986-87 media guide alongside Demon Deacons star and eventual NBA point guard Muggsy Bogues.
Once they reached college, both sons were starters on teams that reached the Final Four. Jeff III was a freshman starter for Mike Krzyzewski at Duke in 1994, while Jason was a junior starter for North Carolina in 2000.
Yet when the sons looked to follow their father into coaching, Jeff Jr. tried to sway them to do something else. He even tried to persuade Jeff III to go to law school before ultimately giving him a job as his assistant at Old Dominion.
""It's a tough way to make a living," Jeff Jr. said. "When you're a coach and in a bad stretch, everybody suffers. Everybody suffers around you - your wife, your kids, your dog, everybody. I didn't want them to go through that, but it's a passion they have, it's ingrained in them, just like me."
Maybe that's why these days are so special to the family.
"They followed us around, taking us to tournament after tournament during our lives," Jason said. "Now's a time when we can focus and cheer on dad and cheer on his team."
AP Basketball Writer Dan Gelston in Philadelphia contributed to this report.

Joyland by Stephen King
Joyland by Stephen King
Publisher: Hard Case Crime
About the Book:
Set in a small-town North Carolina amusement park in 1973, Joyland tells the story of the summer in which college student Devin Jones comes to work as a carny and confronts the legacy of a vicious murder, the fate of a dying child, and the ways both will change his life forever.
Note From the Publisher and the Author:
Charles Ardai, editor of Hard Case Crime, promises a layered, genre-crossing story. "Joyland is a breathtaking, beautiful, heartbreaking book," he said. "It's a whodunit, it's a carny novel, it's a story about growing up and growing old, and about those who don't get to do either because death comes for them before their time. Even the most hard-boiled readers will find themselves moved. When I finished it, I sent a note saying, 'Goddamn it, Steve, you made me cry.'"

► The number of credit cards compromised in the Target security breach has moved from approximately 1 million to 40 million, reports The New York Times. The company is currently working with a forensic team from Verizon to investigate the breach, "but there was no word as to who was behind the attack, how they got in, or what the total cost to Target may be." Investigators determined that cybercriminals targeted the company's point-of-sales system to steal customer names, credit or debit card numbers, expiration dates, and three-digit security codes, which can then be used for a number of purposes, including selling the information on the black market.
► Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS) released a statement commending the work the Review Group on Intelligence and Surveillance Technologies conducted on the programs of the National Security Administration (NSA). The group issued a review that was declassified by the White House Wednesday afternoon, making recommendations for further oversight and changes to the NSA's metadata collection program, which has come under scrutiny after leaks from former federal contractor Edward Snowden about the scale and impact of the program. "The report issued on Wednesday outlines several recommendations and it's my hope that Congress takes notice and acts quickly to amend Section 215 of the Patriot Act and enacts legislation that ensures oversight of the intelligence community," Thompson said.
► President Obama may extend the December 31 deadline given to Afghan President Hamid Karzai to approve a security agreement allowing the U.S. to place troops in Afghanistan beyond 2014. "Some in Obama's inner circle are so exasperated with Karzai that they are willing to wait until the Afghan presidential election is held April 5, as Karzai has demanded, hoping his successor will then sign the pact," reports The Los Angeles Times. This is not the preferred approach and the White House has said that if Afghanistan's leadership doesn't approve the security agreement, it will withdraw all U.S. forces from the nation.
► Part of an Edwardian theater's ceiling collapsed Thursday night in London during a sold-out performance, seriously injuring seven people and harming 81, according to The New York Times. "A large part of the ornate plaster ceiling came down around 8:15 p.m., just before the first intermission in the packed Apollo Theater on Shaftesbury Avenue, a four-story Edwardian building with three interior balconies that opened in 1901," the Times reported. The collapse brought down lights and rigging and "witnesses described a tapping or cracking sound, which many thought was part of the play" before the ceiling fell. The cause of the collapse is under investigation, although some speculated that it was a result of recent heavy rain and winds in the London area.
► In other news, a third firm that provides services to the Navy's fleet has put one of its senior executives on leave, Russian President Vladimir Putin pardoned one of his most powerful critics and released him from prison, and South Sudan is on the "precipice" of civil war.

Experts Extol Economic Benefits of Immigration Reform
Released on Sun, Apr 12, 2009
During an event hosted by the Immigration Policy Center (IPC), economic and labor experts affirmed the benefits of comprehensive immigration reform in the wake of a renewed commitment from both the White House and members of Congress to introducing immigration legislation this fall. Today's speakers asserted that now is the time to bring undocumented immigrants out of the shadows and level the playing field for all workers -- fair and square.

Long Beach, CA 90803
Category: Bars and Clubs
Region: Long Beach
Just as everyone is desperately holding on to these last few weeks of summer weather and sleeveless evenings, Ripples brings back their notorious Wednesday night happy hour, Humdinger Night. The waterfront LGBT club ("club" sounds so drab..."continual soiree," perhaps) hosts a weekly barbeque on the patio with burgers and sides from their new chef. Make sure to get a good, solid sponge in there because the rest of the night is pure Ripples: tequila shots, vodka drinks, rum cocktails, long island iced teas, karaoke, dancing, drag shows and scantily clad go-go boys. This Wednesday night party is one hell of a humdinger—and it's probably safe to say that hangover Thursday morning is one, too.

HARRISONBURG, Va. -- Harrisonburg police are continuing their search for a man who impersonated a police officer and entered homes.
The previous suspect was wrongfully arrested after he was identified by witnesses and matched the physical description of the reported suspect. He also had items in his possession that matched descriptions provided by victims.
During the weekend, police received calls about a man who was trying to get into homes by posing as a police officer. One of those incidents happened on the night of Friday, Jan. 11th.
The police confirmed that the arrested man was out of the area at the time of the incident on Friday.
On Jan. 14th, the Harrisonburg Police and Commonwealth Attorney's office moved to have the charges dropped. The man has since been released from jail.
Police continue their search and ask the community for any information about these incidents. The offender is described as a white male who is 40 to 50 years old, about 5 feet 8 inches tall and of medium stature. The suspect has been identified as having a tattoo on his neck.
The first reported incident occurred when an unknown male entered a South Mason Street home on Jan. 11th around 7 p.m. A second home on West Water Street was entered by a man on Jan. 12th at approximately 8 p.m. There have been other reports of a man trespassing in nearby homes around these times.
Anyone with information about the suspect is asked to contact the Harrisonburg Police Department. Those who wish to remain anonymous can call Crime Solvers at 540-574-5050.

It was just the two of us for Easter this year. After church and a refreshing walk around a blue lake with our eager beagle, we enjoyed a simple herb roasted chicken with a side of maple-glazed brussel sprouts and this savory pilaf. Juicy lemon-roasted chicken, brussel sprouts with maple and toasted walnuts, wild rice with wine and mushrooms: the meal had a pleasant balance of flavors and textures.
For dessert, we had buttery, raspberry linzer cookies from this wonderful bakery in Cambridge. Stress-free, simple eating on a relaxing holiday weekend is a plus in my book.
Easter is a time of rebirth and renewal. Flowers bloom, forests turn from a barren-gray to lush-green. There's new life everywhere. Forests make me think of mushrooms. So there you have it, the inspiration for serving wild rice pilaf at our Easter dinner. Plus, wild rice pilaf has been special to me ever since I worked for a brief time at a gourmet store in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The shop had a wonderful selection of cheeses, pates and prepared foods. Each day, the chef would prepare new dishes that hungry customers would pick up on their way home from work. I loved the taste and aroma of his wild rice pilaf. He'd bring out huge platters of it, accented with sweet red grapes and served with burnished-brown Cornish game hens. It sold out very quickly.
If you want to replace the mushrooms in this recipe with red grapes or dried cranberries, that would be a fine idea too. If you're gluten-free, keep this pilaf in mind for Thanksgiving and Christmas too. It's a festive, flavorful side dish.
|Cambridge Market Roses
Serves 4
Some Notes:
Marsala and mushrooms will always be a classic and delicious Italian combination. There's a good amount of both in this pilaf to ensure maximum flavor. The complex, perky, smoky flavors of the wine compliment the earthy mushrooms. Herbs add a fresh finish.
I use Lundberg Farm Organic Wild Rice Blend which is a blend of long grain brown rice, sweet brown rice, Wehani®, Black Japonica™ and select wild rice pieces.
This blend has contrasting tastes and textures that I love in a wild rice pilaf. It's gluten free too. I think it's important to use a blend because wild rice pilaf made with just wild rice can be a bit too one dimensional.
You can make this vegan by using Earth Balance in place of the butter.
Extra rice pilaf can be stored in the fridge for a day or two. During the workweek, heat and eat for whole grain, rice bowl lunches with some toasted almonds or walnuts for crunch and protein.
- 1 cup wild rice blend, cooked according to package directions. I use Lundberg Organic Wild Blend (see notes).
- 6 shallots, diced
- 1 16 ounce package of whole baby bella mushrooms, sliced.
- 3/4 cup Marsala wine
- 3 tablespoons of butter
- olive oil for cooking the shallots
- sea salt or kosher salt to taste
- fresh cracked black pepper to taste
- a few pinches of dried thyme
- To Serve: freshly chopped flat leaf parsley, finely diced chives or scallions and/or toasted nuts
Cook the rice according to the package directions with a bit of salt.
Meanwhile, add some olive oil to a large skillet and saute the shallots with salt, pepper and a pinch of dried thyme until soft. I use my trusty nonstick, eco-friendly Scanpan for this recipe. Once the shallots are soft, add the mushrooms, butter and a pinch more salt, pepper and thyme. Cook until the mushrooms are starting to soften and add the wine. Add a pinch more salt. Turn up the heat and bring to a boil. Then turn down the heat and simmer, uncovered on low heat, until the liquid has evaporated. Stir the cooked rice into the mushrooms. Freshly chopped parsley, chives, scallions and toasted nuts are serving options. Enjoy!

Most people would imagine that a person who has dementia is not capable of making, or even changing, a will. However the fact is that in some cases even a person with dementia can still be able to make their will or have testamentary capacity.
The legal test as to whether a person has the capacity to make a will comes from the old English case of Banks –v- Goodfellow (1870) 5 QB 549. In this case the deceased person was suffering from delusions; chiefly that his butcher was trying to kill him, even though this butcher had been dead for 11 years. In coming to its decision the court determined that for a person to have capacity to make a will there are five things which need to be established:
(i) The person making the will understands what a will does;
(ii) They can recall what property they have;
(iii) To remember those people that the person would ordinarily provide for under a will;
(iv) To give consideration to those people who would normally benefit under the will;
(v) The person does not suffer delusions about any person who would expect to receive an entitlement under the will.
The result in the case was the deceased did have capacity to make the will in question because the delusions he suffered were not about a person who would have normally benefited under his will, i.e. people don't usually leave part of their estate to their butcher.
Moving forward to the 21st century and putting this case into perspective, we see the case law has evolved. The legal position now suggests that just because a person suffers from dementia, it will not automatically mean they are unable to make a will.
One of the most recent NSW cases dealing with this issue is cited as Apice v Gutkovich – Estate of Abraham (No . 2) [2010] NSWSC 1333 (22 November 2010). This case was about whether a 93 year old lady, Irene Abraham who had suffered from dementia for 5 years, had the capacity to make a will. At the time of making a will she was subject to Guardianship Tribunal Orders (orders that someone else should manage her financial and lifestyle decisions, because she was under disability).
Interestingly in the 15 months before her final will, the deceased made four other wills and codicils (an amendment to an existing will). On some of those occasions Ms Abraham's doctor said she did not have the capacity to make any such will.
Nevertheless Ms Abrahams health improved somewhat and her doctor changed his opinion, while her solicitor was also of the opinion that she now had the capacity necessary to create a will. This evidence ultimately led to the court finding that she had capacity to make her will.
There are some very interesting parts of this case, which include finding that even though a person connot manage their day to day affairs and do not have capacity to make decision regarding their finances and lifestyle choice, they can still make a will. If you would like to read the whole case it can be found at using this linkhttp://www.austlii.edu.au/au/cases/nsw/NSWSC/2010/1333.html

Today's dharma quote is yet another from the Vidyādhara, Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche (1939-1987), whom I first quoted and wrote a little bio for here. This is it:
Developing confidence is like watching the sun rise. First it seems very feeble and one wonders whether it will make it. Then it shines and shines. Confidence is not about arrogance or pride. It is a natural unfolding process. It's not a question of needing confidence or not needing it. It's naturally there. In fact, we actually don't have to develop confidence. It's more that we have to acknowledge the confidence that already exists.

De La Soul Says New Music Is On The Way
De La Soul's Posdnuos and Dave speak on the group's plans for the near future.
Posdnuos and Dave recently teamed up for First Serve as Plug Won and Plug Too, but they're getting back to the essence. During an interview with OkayPlayer at the Roots Picnic, the duo addressed plans for another De La Soul project, stating that they've got some songs knocked out and that fans can expect to hear new music in the near future.
"With the De La album, we've always been blessed because we always constantly create music. We have a few things - more than a few things, we have a lot of things in the can, a lot of ideas," said Pos. "I know we're living amongst an industry and time where you feed into it. That's what we're trying to do, tease you. Start putting more stuff out. Looking at dropping some stuff to radio in the next few weeks."

About 12 hours ago, AMD Released a new 12.11 Beta driver (beta 11) and a new Catalyst Application Profiles (CAP), which consists in only one profile for Far Cry 3. The new profile improves single GPU performance with Far Cry 3 but only when MSAA is enabled.
Even though the 12.11 Beta 11 driver does not contain any fixes for this particular game, in its description it's stated that:
Improves performance in Far Cry 3 (up to 25% with 8xMSAA, SSAO enabled @ 1600p, and up to 15% with 8xMSAA, HDAO enabled @1600p) (AMD Catalyst 12.11 CAP2 must also be installed).
I can't find a reason for anyone to run a game at 1600p (2560 x 1600) and use 8xMSAA. Anyways, remember that you need 12.11 CAP 2 installed in order to benefit from this gain. Also, remember that CAPs work with any driver newer than 10.2; you don't need to use the latest driver to get the performance boosts available in CAPs.
I just re-ran a few of the tests from the Far Cry 3 Benchmark (same methodology, see the linked article for details) I did a few days ago out of curiosity.
I had a issue where the whole system would crash if I ran Far Cry 3 in DirectX 9 with the GPU overclocked, this problem is only present in 12.11 Beta 8 and it was fixed in 12.11 Beta 11.
The results speak for themselves, the GPU usage increased by 2% on average, which translates in just one FPS added. With the new driver and CAP, DirectX 9 shows 99% (was 97%) GPU Usage and DirectX 11 97% (was 95%).
|DirectX 9
|DirectX 11
|DirectX 11 MT
|GPU Usage
|GPU Usage
|GPU Usage
|12.11 Beta 8
|12.11 Beta 11
MSAA's performance hit does indeed decrease with the newest CAP, on my machine there is a 15% improvement while using 8 samples (8x). In DirectX 11, with alpha to coverage aka transparent anti-aliasing for foliage you really don't need to use any other kind of AA in Far Cry 3; In DirectX 9, MSAA is disabled for whatever reason and I tried forcing MSAA through the Catalyst Control Center and unfortunately it does not work.
Again, DirectX 11 Multithreading (more info) is not supported by AMD's drivers, 12.11 Beta 11 does not add it either. My guess is that we will never see it implemented unless more games will use it, thus forcing AMD's hand in the constant skirmishes with nVidia.

the side you dont agree with is BADDDDDDDDDDD and has no excuse, its not possible to feel that its not worth it due to how many suicides it cause, its not possible to feel its not worth it to worry about the mount that die by std s or what not*
*I'm not say these ARE exucses and should be used, just that you are not willing at all to listen to their side, they are wrong no matter what they MUST be 100% ok with it or else they are wrong/
Your doing the same thing, YOU dont like the life choices they make
He was NOT being disrespectful, he told them what he feel and his opinion, just like you say yours, but his is evil and wrong, and should be hatted for being diffreint
wait hated because they dont follow what you do? is that not the definition of Bigotry?
a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially: one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance
you are doing all of that, hating a bigot for being a bigot makes you a bigot
Bigotry may be based on real or perceived characteristics, including age, disability,
dissension from popular opinions,
socioeconomic status, ethnicity, gender identity, language, nationality, political alignment, race, region, religious or spiritual belief, sex, or sexual orientation. Bigotry is sometimes developed into an ideology or world view.
You hate this group for not liking another, and by doing so becoming a bigot your self, hating a bigot don't make you imune to being one. it makes you the same as them.
Just because christian may have " intolerance" to someone dont mean you doing the same to them don't make you what they are
By definition you are doing what they are, maybe you think yours is justified? so do they.

Divina, a 15 year old girl who wishes of becoming a teacher.
Divina is a shy but intelligent Mangyan child in Mindoro.
The Mangyan is a tribal minority who live in the mountains. They are very poor and don't have easy access to medicine and education. But Divina is a very persistent, driven young girl. Though she has been laughed at and discriminated several times by her classmates -- they call her "taong-bundok" -- Divina remains strong and continues to study. She dreams of proving to others that Mangyan people can also excel.
Divina is now a 1st yr college student at MINSCAT College. She is supposed to take Education as her course but her average is not enough in order for her to be accepted or have that course. She is currently enrolled in an IT course and hopes to shift in the second semester by maintaining good grades.
We can help her fulfill her dream.

Fujitsu creates readable, writeable 'nanohole' hard drive
Fujitsu's scheme to produce hard drives that can hold a terabyte of data in each square inch of recording surface has taken a step closer to realisation. It has made a 2.5in disk made of its proposed 'patterned medium' and verified the disc's read/write capability. Fujitsu's approach uses anodised aluminium to create a pattern …
So what was the capacity
So what was the capacity / data density of the drive that they created and verified?
Was it greater than currently available drives?
I know that a prototype prrof of concept drive isn't commercially viable, but I'm interested now!
Re: So what was the capacity
Exactly what I was thinking
It's roughly 400GB
Using the following assumptions:
* 2.5" diameter platter - roughly 2.2" of usable area
* Single-side
((2.2/2)^2)*Pi) = rough area in inches = ~3.8 sq. in.
13nm density = ~1TB/sq. in.
100nm = ~current density = ~130GB/sq. in.
130GB/sq.in. * 3.8 sq.in = 494172524409 bytes
or roughly 400GB usable. About the same as the latest high-density 2.5" drives.
Hope this helps...
about 280-560x more than current technology
Midway down the page ..
Current capacity (lots of math)
1 Inches (in) = 25400000 Nanometers (nm)
so... 1 square inch is 645160000000000 square nm
so now divide that by capacity they're shooting for (1TB - which is 1 followed by a bunch of zeros as far as the hard drive companies are concerned)
so... 645160000000000 / 1000000000000 = 645.16 square nm
now take the square root to find the length that the 13nm pits take up.
this is 25.4nm (which is probably correct since the 13nm pits need some area around that isn't a pit to support the structure and provide that magnetic shielding)
now... do some algebra... 25.4 / 13 = N / 100
13 is the target, 100 is the current working prototype.
N is 195.384615... lots more decimal places... anyhoo...
square this...
we get this...
38175.147928994... again... lots more decimal places... now divide the nm area by this and we have the capacity in bytes.
645160000000000 / 38175.147928994... = 16900000000
16.9 GB. Far cry from 1 TB, but it's getting there.
and hopefully I didn't miss copying a zero somewhere.
Another advantage not mentioned
Because the magnetic domains are regularly arranged and all very close to the same size, magnetization is more quantized. In traditional drives, magnetic domains vary in size, and so the net magnetization per unit area can be quite variable, resulting in readout noise, which limits density.
Carnegie Mellon University, I believe with funding from IBM mostly, is working on a similar technology to this one, using magnetic nanoparticles, rather than nano-holes. Both are promising.
So what was the capacity?
I may just be being dense, but I'm still waiting for a figure, e.g. If they released a 3.5" IDE drive (for example's sake) at 13nm, you could store 84TB on your computer, etc.
Am I being dense or is there a figure like that?
Guys... You know that there's more than 1sq/in on a drive. You know that the stated (new density) is 1TB/sqin. So don't tell me that the capacity will be 16GB.
Also. Brett. Mate. I think you just multiplied the current density, by the area, to get current capacity. I like your thinking though. So lets try again
density * area = capacity
1 (TB per sq in) * 3.8 (sq in) = 3.8 TB. Better I think.
Now - for a multi-platter, multi side arrangement, we might expect four times that.
RE: Current capacity (lots of math)
Wow! - you made hard work of that. How's this:
(a) they hope to fit 1TB/sq in using 13nm holes. They can currently make 100nm holes.
(b) A 100nm hole is (100/13)^2 ~= 59 times the size of a 13nm hole (forget all the meaningless additional digits which)
(c) If 13nm holes allow 1TB/sq in, we can assume that 100nm holes give roughly 1/59 as much capacity, or 17GB/sq in.
Roughly speaking, a 2.5" platter gives a ring with inner diameter 1.25", outer diameter 2.5" of usable space. The area is thus PI x ((2.5/2)^2-(1.25/2)^2) ~= 3.7 sq in.
For a 3.5" disk this increases to 7.2 sq in per platter-side.
So each 2.5" platter should be able to fit 3.7 x 17 = 63 GB per side at current densities, increasing to 3.7 TB ultimately.
A 5 platter 3.5" drive using both sides should yield 5 (platters) * 2 (sides) * 7.2 (sq in / side) * 1 (TB/sq in) = 72 TB.

Hi Slash,
My name is Yuval, I am 35 now and I living in Tel Aviv.
I want to inform you that the elemetry school across the street has a wonderful education and uses the begining of Sweet Child of Mine !!! is their bell.
Hope you will come back some day.
The show you had here back then on 1994 was a little low volume and we cound hear it:(
Happy birthday also to me too:)
Slash performs good, I'll be seeing: D
slash im a big fan from brasil. im going to pass 3 months in london, in a hause at i dont now anyone, just to maybe see you in a consert. please my dream is met you. you are one of the persons at inpire me in my life, you jimmy page and others. here in brasil any one listen to rock, blues or hard rock. but i dont care for this people. im i and the others are others. if you read that please write in my page in face book (this gona be a smal dream been realised)
Hey Slash! Im 14 years old and I've been a big fan of yours since I was eight years old. Im from New York, so its the complete opposite side of the United States. I've been playing guitar since I was six years old and I love to play Sweet Child o' Mine and Paradise City. My dream is to meet you and you teach me really good solo tricks and cool riffs. I wanted to get a '59 Les Paul so I can play what guitar you play, but they are too expensive for me. I currently have a Les Paul Studio Deluxe and its a good guitar. I also like your signature wah pedal because it sounds really nice, especially for Civil War. I hope you read my comment and keep rocking on as my favorite guitar player. I will always be your number one fan in my book. -Brandon
