Connecticut responds to Newtown with groundbreaking gun control lawsSubmitted by meekandmild on Tue, 04/02/2013 - 18:39
Less than four months after the tragic shooting in Newtown, Conn., the Connecticut legislature is expected to enact a new law on Wednesday that will give it one of the toughest gun control laws in the nation.
"There is a real mobilization of the public," she says. "They are giving the gun lobby a run for their money."
My opinion- I don't think the Public is trying to enforce people (gun) control it is the government employees, the congress-critters of each state and the Federal government.

This is being voted on today
This should really be on the front page.
I am suprised more people are not concerned.
This law is crazy - ONE GUN PER YEAR!!!!!!!!!
Registration just to buy ammo
Registration of magazines
and on and on
It will also proably drive thousands of jobs from our already broke state.
OF Mossberg
Just to name the big three here that make ar-15 style weapons.
If would expect a major bouycott of their weapons if they did not announce immediate plans to leave.
Do people even realize - the legislation is NOT available to the public to view BEFORE it is voted on. Who knows what else is in it.
"Groundbreaking" Gun Control
...just leads to further "groundbreaking" for the inevitable increase in caskets going under the ground as a result. Idiots.
"The Connecticut legislation will also limit the purchase of guns to one every 12 months."
What tha faaaaa?
Chilling and Orwellian:
"Laura Cutilletta, a senior staff attorney at the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence"
You are no pacifist Laura. You support the unlimited gun violence of the state, which enforces ALL of its prohibition laws, including those regarding guns, WITH GUN VIOLENCE!

Two Improvements Coming to INSIDEtracc
Thursday, January 17, 2013
PG&E's California Gas Transmission is pleased to bring you two improvements to your INSIDEtracc experience. The first relates to modifications to the 502 Report, "Activity by Customer." At your request, we have added the Source customer code and customer name, and the Destination customer code and customer name. We have also put scheduled volumes for the entire month on one page, as opposed to splitting the month up over two pages.
The second improvement is even better! Currently, you must go to one screen to see a list of reports, and run a report from that screen. You must go to a different screen to actually download or print the report.
We have now combined all report functionality into one page! Under the "Reports" tab, the first choice will be "Reports." This will take you to a page from which you can choose a report, enter the required parameters, be able to see when the report is finished running, and then view or print the report, all from the same page. (The page will refresh every 30 seconds.) Please note that, unlike today, you will no longer be able to delete reports from the "Results" table. Rather, after two weeks, reports will automatically delete from the table. This will help keep your Results list uncluttered.
We hope you find these improvements beneficial. Please call your CGT Account Manager or Gas Scheduler if you have questions.

I don't want to be negative, but I really think you need to talk to a professional about these feelings.
Yeah I know I need to see someone but unfortunately my therapist is away. And what you guys are saying isn't helping me. Another person asked this question before and people were much more supportive.
It's alright, it is just the anxiety talking. The fact that you fear hurting your family means it's anxiety. I have similar thoughts too. Just recently and I had a panic attack after that it went away but I'm guessing it will be back soon. I think it would help to see a psychiatrist. She could at least prescribe you something to give you immediate relief so you two can work on your totally curable disorder together. - Janna Rae 2 weeks ago
I think it's because we don't actually know what to say to something like this, as we aren't professionals. And for me, personally, you saying these feelings don't usually last this long and whatnot - that tells me that it's worse than it's been before, therefore it could become even worse, and you could actually act on the thoughts. When someone's safety is at stake - you need to see someone. Even if it isn't your own therapist...there has to be someone "on call" to sub in for him/her, or an urgent crisis centre or something.
I'm sorry you don't think we're being supportive, but again I agree with Asho. I really don't know what to say because I've never experienced it and I don't understand it whatsoever, and I just can't give advice about something I don't understand. So, sorry if "get help" isn't what you wanted to hear but that's the best we can do. You need support way beyond what anyone on here can say and I think it's urgent you do that, because not getting help is putting you and your family's safety in jeopardy.
I do hav intrusive thoughts but not those kind. My thoughts tend to be more self centered. As in I worry about what people are thinkning of me and stuff like that. I can relate to intrusive thoughts but I can't relate to the type you're having. None the less they can be very stressfull and only add to your anxiety. I hope you find the help and support you're looking for. I am going to have to agree with the two others and suggest that you try and talk to anyone who will see you. At one point in my life I was having audio hallucinations and the only thing I could do was seek immediate help from the local psychiatric facility. Some things require a more immediate response than others when dealing with anxiety, depression and the related issues. I think this is one of those things. Good luck and I really hope you find the help you need.
Thanks everyone! I was finally able to see my therapist. She told me that it was good that I was talking about it with not only my family and her. She had that if I really had those intentions to hurt my family, I wouldn't have mentioned it to anybody. I was a bit scared to taking medication for my anxiety because I'm only 17 and I don't wanna have to rely on it but both my mom and I decided that I should try it for a month and see how it goes. This saturday, I just started on Fluvoxamine. Here's to hoping that it will help.
Hi Nat. I was having the same problem only different kinds of intrusive thoughts. They were really starting to increase my anxiety and the more my anxiety increased the more intrusive thoughts I was having. I am too on Fluvoxamine and it seems to be helping a lot. It was almost like the thoughts were becoming an OCD behaviour. Hope all is going well with your meds.
I agree with Asho. It's imperative that you seek help because that is not normal thinking, and can turn into an ugly reality. Please seek help.
That's really good advice Andy
i had written a long response to this....where did it go?

The world's financial situation isn't exactly peachy keen just yet, but the global population appears to be up for traveling. Both luxury and budget brand hotels are popping up across the world.
Starwood Hotels & Resorts, which came in at the top of its category in the recent 2013 Harris Poll EquiTrend, "expects to have enough cash in the next three years to add another global luxury brand bringing their total to ten."
Mitzi Gaskins, VP/global brand manager for JW Marriott, noted that the "luxury space is growing a lot" and is "anticipating 50 percent growth over the next four to five years with 79 JW hotels up and running by 2015." Less than half of the 30 or more hotels that the brand has in the pipeline are in the United States. Gaskins told Fortune that the luxury markets that are growing fastest are "top tier destinations and gateway cities," noting that the JW brand was opening soon in Cabo, Turks & Caicos, Macao and Hanoi, and had "just launched" in Venice.Continue reading...

Inter IKEA, the parent of IKEA, announced last summer that it was partnering with a hotelier to create a new hotel brand that oddly wouldn't feature any of the Swedish furniture maker's products. It's now been confirmed at the Berlin International Hotel Investment Forum that Marriott is the partner and Moxy will be the name of the new affordable hotel chain, which plans to open 150 locations across Europe in the next decade.
"Moxy Hotels is the essence of the next generation traveler, not only Gen X and Y but people with a younger sensibility, for whom contemporary style is paramount," said Arne Sorenson, president and CEO of Marriott International in a press release. "Every aspect of the hotel was thoughtfully researched and crafted to reflect and deliver on the changing lifestyles and expectations of this fast-growing customer segment."
According to TravelBite, this will be Marriott's first budget brand in Europe. Fifty of those locations should be up and running in the next five years and Inter IKEA will be ponying up $500 million to help out, the Wall Street Journal reports. While the hotels won't use IKEA furniture, the company has found a way to keep construction costs down in a different way: "Many of the hotels will use rooms prefabricated offsite and then assembled like IKEA furniture, a modular type of construction that is new for Marriott."Continue reading...

Toddlers and kids love their squeezable food and marketers have taken note. What better way to serve up products to America's on-the-go adults? Mr. Whipple may have wanted to keep you from squeezing the Charmin but that's all these companies want you to do with their products. Welcome to Squeezable Nation.
You've got your squeezable hummus, your squeezable sour cream, your squeezable condensed milk, salsa, cheese, pizza sauce and squeezable Dr. Pepper Cherry Dessert Topper. In other words, you've got pretty much whatever you want in squeezable form and you shouldn't be surprised when all-squeezable restaurants start popping up.
OK, maybe not a full-on squeezable restaurant, but at least—as Saveur points out—a much more exciting condiment tray in your fridge: squeezable sun-dried tomato pesto and garlicky tzatziki from Canada's Maison Le Grand get a shout-out from the publication.

KFC has more than 4,000 outlets in China and it counts on them to come up with more than 40 percent of its overall revenue. That overreliance on cash-flow from the world's most populated nation took a massive hit back in December when Chinese state television let the world know that "some suppliers violated rules on the use of drugs to fatten chickens," which led to January sales dropping a customer-estimated 37 percent, according to the Associated Press.
The word from the Shanghai Times was that Chinese authorities were investigating the business practices of "Doyoo Group, a poultry company that reportedly bought sick and dead chicken from farms, then resold the sick ones to fast food restaurants such as KFC and McDonald's and processed the dead ones into animal feed."
Though the company was never fined by China food safety authorities for the incident, it caused KFC owner Yum! Brands to reconsider its overall 2013 profit outlook and now has it attempting to show the people of China that nothing quite like what happened last year will ever happen again. It t is promising "to test meat for banned drugs, strengthen oversight of farmers and encourage them to improve their technology," the AP notes. Plus, KFC is saying that more than 1,000 small producers that its 25 poultry suppliers use have been axed. It is still planning to add 700 new locations in China this year. Continue reading...

I am an addict and alcoholic working every single day to repair and make the best out of the life I have left. I make mistakes, like that comment, but my recovery has been amazing. Jim does not know this Jake. Without realizing or intending to, I fired the first shot and will take Jim's response without any negativity towards him. I apologize and am putting behind me."

The Dallas Cowboys were able to keep their playoffs hopes alive with a comeback win against the Washington Redskins, so Alex Riley took the opportunity on Twitter to remind everyone that Tony Romo was the reason why they won.
WWE sent Alex Riley to the game between the Dallas Cowboys and Oakland Raiders on Thanksgiving Day. He was on the sidelines with his girlfriend.
Alberto Del Rio won Royal Rumble 2011 by last eliminating Santino Marella.

Painting, Pottery and Craft
1st Floor30 Georges St ArcadeDublinPO Code: Dublin 2Republic of Ireland
Our studio is housed in the landmark location that is the Georges Street Arcade, we have the only loft studio in the arcade. In our studio the makers are always present to discuss the inspiration behind the work that is on display or to discuss a commissioned piece. As our studio is both an open plan workshop and showrooms visitiors have an opportunity to watch whilst a piece is being created at the bench. We make pieces in all metals from silver to platinum and using both precious and semi precious gemstones.The studio is within a arcade setting so there are cafés and toilet facilities available.
Learning: We create a considerable amount of bespoke wedding rings for couples and offer them the opportunity to participate in a stage of the making of their rings. This often involves an afternoon where the couple come to the studio and are taught some of the basic skills and then give a task to do as a stage of the making of their rings.

The importance of understanding 9-11
An interview with Eric Hufschmid (3.8 MB video):
Open Thread
Slow 9/11 weekend, got a few things to post tommorrow, what have I missed?
Have at it.
How Does the Israeli Government Tie to 9/11?
Israel - By Paul Thompson
This is basically a run down of all of the Israeli references from Paul Thompson's book The Terror Timeline.
Earlier today, I had a thought. "Where is the Israeli 9/11 Truth Movement"? You would think the people of Israel are aware of the allegations towards their Government regarding 9/11. Aren't they curious as to why? After that thought, I, myself, wanted to see everything regarding Israel and 9/11. Aside from the "Dancing Israelis". So, I picked up Paul's book. I'm posting this so everyone has a clear understanding as to why Israel and 9/11 are often mentioned in the same breath.
Who's really behind 9/11?
Who's really behind 9/11?
52 great points of interest surrounding 9/11 in this article on a new blog.
9/11 was one of the most shocking events ever, any loss of life is tragic and especially in the horrific circumstances that arose on 9/11.
Following the immediate aftermath governments around the world along with the media instantly lay the blame in the mountains of afghanistan, with the Al-Qaida group.
This is all common knowledge, I was disgusted at the attacks. I too believed what I saw on the news. Yet the more you read and the deeper you look at that day, the darker it becomes.
Mujca 1st Anniversary - Event in Madison Tonight
Just got an email from Kevin Barrett about an event tonight (10/29) in Madison, WI.
Check it out:
The Muslim-Jewish-Christian Alliance for 9/11 Truth will celebrate its first anniversary on Sunday, October 30th--the night author Sander Hicks is coming to Madison (see below for details). That is the holiest day of the Islamic calendar, the 27th of Ramadan--the probable Night of Destiny, when the Qur'an descended to the Prophet Muhammad, peace upon him. On that night last year, US forces began turning the City of Mosques, Fallujah, into Iraq's Guernica. The horror of that event became the painful birth-pangs of MUJCA-NET.
Harriet Miers Accompanied Bush on 9/11?
Why did he give a speech an hour later at a known location?
Why wasn't he picked up and whisked away like Cheney?
Did the Secret Service know he wasn't a target?
If you do a quick search on 'Harriet Miers', or listen to much liberal talk radio right now you will constantly hear the term 'cronyism'. Cronyism is pretty readily visible in the Bush administration, especially when looking at those who were in a position of importance on 9/11. Some quick examples of this include George Tenet from the CIA receiving the medal of honor and Richard Myers becoming the Chairman of the Joint Cheifs of staff, both of which were in positions of power (and failed miserably) before and during 9/11.

Former UN Weapons Inspector: Don't Rule Out Staged Government Terror
Ritter says Neo-Cons are embattled, surrounded, could resort to desperate measures to further global domination
Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones | October 24 2005
Former United Nations weapons inspector and Marine Scott Ritter appeared on The Alex Jones Show and stated that he wouldn't rule out the possibility of the Bush administration staging a terror attack in order to jolt a wavering foreign policy agenda back on track.
Conspiracy Theories
Canadian television discusses the 9/11 conspiracy theories. Download the video here:
A Critical Review of WTC 'No Plane' Theories
Are people still arguing about this?
With the amount of attention that the Pentagon no-plane theories have received, it shouldn't be surprising that some would also make the bizarre claim that no 767s hit the World Trade Center, despite voluminous video and photographic evidence to the contrary. My previous articles dealt with the core of these theories at length. These articles were lengthy, so the purpose of this summary is to provide a somewhat condensed and updated summary for those new to the subject or lacking in the time to delve into the details of the image analysis.

Retired USAF Lieutenant Colonel Has Questions About 9/11
Ten Questions and Answers- An interview with Karen Kwiatkowski
Q. There exists controversy surrounding the events of 9/11/01 both as to cause, responsibility, and American responses. Have you any theories as to who is responsible for 9/11/01 and how American government responded to the attack?
A. I am not sure who is truly responsible for 9-11, or for our ostensible response to it domestically (PATRIOT Act) and internationally (toppling the Afghan and Iraqi governments). Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda were publicly blamed for the attack, but I don't recall that they actually claimed credit – and one would think something that "successful†against the "Great Satan†would be claimed by someone.
Final NIST Report on WTC 'Collapses' Issued Today
Today the NIST released their final findings in the collapses of WTC 1 and 2. Apparently their report on WTC 7 which was initially to be released in December has been pushed back to spring of 2006. It is also worth noting that they plan to make all of the 500+ public comments received during their review period public on their website soon. I hope that will include mine, Jim Hoffman's and a bunch of others who do not find their report to be conclusive or fully encompassing.
Here is the email they sent out today:
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) today released the final reports from its building and fire safety investigation into the collapses of the World Trade Center towers following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The reports, which were released at a hearing held by the House Science Committee on the NIST investigation, feature 30 recommendations to improve the way people design, construct, maintain, and use buildings to increase building, occupant, and emergency responder safety.
Bravest fume at FDNY
Where did all the money that was donated for 9/11 relief go??? Why can't the firefighters that can no longer work get a decent pension? This reminds me of how billions of dollars were sent for Katrina relief, and yet all the survivors were crammed into gymnasiums for weeks on end. Why weren't the put up in hotels???

Join the nationwide campaign to pressure the New York Times to print the truth about 9/11 NOW. The Times is under fire for letting Judith Miller work as a member of the White House Iraq Group to spread disinformation, and then covering up Miller's role and refusing to fire her. It has become obvious to fair-minded observers that the Times has been part of the Iraq disinformation campaign.
Icelandic Green-Left Party Demands International Inquiry on 9/11
Thanks to Jon Gold at yourbbsucks.com for the heads up on this one:
From: Elias Davidsson
Date: Sun, 23 Oct 2005 17:27:45 +0000
Subject: Good news
Dear friends,
I have good news to announce.
The Biannual Congress of the Icelandic Green-Left Party just closed. About 400 delegates attended. The Congress passed a resolution on 9/11. It was passed by the General Assembly of the Congress by acclamation, without opposing votes. I urge you to disseminate it to Green and Leftist organisations and parties wherever possible, as well as within the 911 movement.
Osama Bin Laden Is Dead And Buried: Multan Newspaper
Osama Bin Laden Is Dead And Buried: Multan Newspaper
A Pakistani newspaper Ausaf published from Multan has reported that Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden died four months ago in a village near Kandahar of severe illness.
According to the newspaper report, Bin Laden was campaigning at Bamiyan, fell very ill, returned to Kandahar where he died and was buried in the Shada graveyard in the shadow of a mountain.
The controversy continues to surround Osama bin Laden and while US and Pakistan officials have often been quoted by the media as saying that his mortal status was just a matter of detail, the hunt is still on and the issue remains a topic of great interest for the media and governments alike.
PTECH, 9/11, and USA-Saudi Terror -- Part II
It's not that Norad and the FAA didn't respond that day, they couldn't:
PROMIS Connections to Cheney Control of 9/11 Attacks Confirmed
* The FAA & Ptech
* Debriefed by Secret Service - looking for a PROMIS
* Muslim Brotherhood, Christian Cultists, and Nazis
Whoever plotted 9/11 definitely viewed the FAA as an enemy that morning. Overriding FAA systems would be the most effective way to ensure the attacks were successful. To do this, the FAA needed an evolution of PROMIS software installed on their systems and Ptech was just that; the White House & Secret Service had the same software on their systems - likely a superior modified version capable of "surveillance and intervention" functions.
Bloomberg Says Silverstein Should Be Removed From WTC Role
More than four years into the rebuilding of the World Trade Center – and with little to show for the effort – Mayor Michael Bloomberg says developer Larry Silverstein should be booted from the site.
In an interview in the Daily News, Bloomberg says it would be in the city's best interest if Silverstein, who leases the site, were removed.
However, says the mayor, "nobody can figure out how to do it."
Silverstein has made it clear in the past that he has no intention of giving up his lease on the site, for which he pays $120 million a year in rent.

Zoo celebrates 100th anniversary
Updated On: May 11 2014 11:20:00 PM EDT
Sunday marked the 100-year anniversary of The Jacksonville Zoo.
Visitors to the zoo could see just about any animal they wanted to including flamingos and parrots.
Tyler McLendon visited with his mother and his grandmother Betty Ann Tomlinson.
His grandmother says she's been coming here for years.
"I'm 70 years old and I came the first time when I was 4," said Tomlison.
"I'm Just spending time with my mom and my son. Just quality family time," said Katy McLendon.
That family time included seeing one exhibit, which seemed to be a favorite on Sunday.
"I like watching the tigers eat," said 10-year-old Jake Brown.
"I haven't seen the tigers before. I haven't really seen them that close," said Kaden Brown.
One of the things that people say they like about the zoo is recent changes that allow people to get closer to the animals and give them a more interactive experience. Staff at the zoo say over the past year they've been celebrating and having special events.
"100 years, That's special. That shows the community has invested in the zoo. The community loves the zoo. We want to keep this place not just going but growing and getting better every year," said Tony Vecchio, executive director of the Jacksonville Zoo.
Zoo officials say not only have they been entertaining people with the animals, but they've become more animal-and-people friendly over the years.
The zoo completed its first stage of its Asian expansion with the Asian gardens.
The second stage was the tiger exhibit. It hopes to have a third stage complete with
orangutans in the future.

Tyler Moore Rumors
Latest On The First Base Trade Market
First basemen who "are available" to be traded include the Yankees' Kelly Johnson, the Phillies' John Mayberry Jr., the Nationals' Tyler Moore and the Pirates' Gaby Sanchez, sources tell Gerry Fraley of the Dallas Morning News. Johnson and Sanchez are new additions to the rumor mill, while Mayberry and Moore have both been recently cited as possible trade chips.
The quartet is cited in the context of Mitch Moreland's season-ending ankle surgery, leaving the Rangers dealing with yet another major injury. Despite losing a host of notable players to the DL, Texas is still just 2.5 games behind Seattle for the last AL wild card slot, and could still be looking to make additions down the stretch. Texas had previously had exploratory talks with the Nationals about Moore, though MLB.com's Bill Ladson noted those talks weren't serious.
Johnson has played 23 games at first for the Yankees this season, though he has spent the large majority of his career as a second baseman (plus some time at third and in left field). Despite Yangervis Solarte's emergence, the Yankees' infield depth is still thin, so it would be somewhat surprising to see New York move a versatile player like Johnson elsewhere. Johnson is still owed roughly $1.845MM from the one-year, $3MM deal he signed with the Yankees last winter.
Sanchez was the subject of some trade rumors last year, though he remained with the Bucs as the right-handed hitting half of a first base platoon. While he has a solid .255/.303/.510 slash line with five homers in 109 PA this year, Sanchez has made almost twice as many plate appearances against righties as he has against lefties since the Pirates have faced an unusually large amount of right-handed starters; Pittsburgh hitters as a whole have made only 366 PA against lefties in 2014, by far the lowest in the majors. Sanchez has a career .903 OPS against southpaws against just a .700 OPS against righties, so he could certainly provide a contender with a useful part-time or bench bat.
Rangers first basemen have combined for -0.9 fWAR this season, and five other teams (the Twins, Astros, Indians, Royals and Mariners) have also received sub-replacement level production from their first basemen.

East Notes: Beckett, Franco, Moore, Santana
Josh Beckett, who has undergone surgeries for thoracic outlet syndrome and a torn meniscus in his left knee within the past 10 months, tossed his first career no-hitter and MLB's first of the season as he and the Dodgers shutout the Phillies 6-0. Beckett struck out Chase Utley looking on his career-high 128th pitch for the 24th no-hitter in Dodgers' history and the first for the franchise since Hideo Nomo 18 years ago. This is also the first time the Phillies have been no-hit since the Cardinals' Bob Forsch turned the trick in 1978 and the first time they have been held hitless in Philadelphia since the Montreal Expos' Bill Stoneman did so at Connie Mack Stadium in 1969. MLB.com's Todd Zolecki noted on Twitter the Phillies have now been shutout five times in their last ten home games and six times in their last 18 games overall.
In other news and notes involving the Phillies and baseball's East divisions:
- Could offensive help be on the way for the Phillies in the form of top prospect third baseman Maikel Franco? GM Ruben Amaro Jr. told reporters, including Matt Gelb of the Philadelphia Inquirer, it is a possibility. "We'll see whether it's the right thing for us and the right thing for him," said Amaro. "We'll kick it around." Franco, ranked as the game's 17th best prospect by Baseball America and 23rd by MLB.com, is hitting .301 in May with an OPS of .871.
- In the wake of Prince Fielder's season-ending neck injury, the Rangers have inquired about Nationals first baseman Tyler Moore, a baseball source tells MLB.com's Bill Ladson. The source indicated to Ladson nothing is serious and Moore is one of many first baseman in which the Rangers have an interest.
- Johan Santana has a June 1 opt-out in his minor league deal with the Orioles, but Executive Vice President Dan Duquette says that date is not a concern, reports Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun. "That's open for discussion," Duquette said. "It's a fluid situation." Santana remains in extended Spring Training and has not pitched more than four innings in an outing, but Duquette says the 35-year-old left-hander "is making good progress, he is throwing his pitches."

Astros Inquiring On First Basemen
While the Pirates have been linked to nearly every first baseman on the market, ESPN's Jayson Stark reports (via Twitter) that the Astros are also calling clubs about potentially available first basemen. Stark says Houston has placed calls on Mike Carp, John Mayberry and Tyler Moore, though he classifies each of the three as an "unlikely fit."
That the Astros are seeking a first baseman is a bit curious, given top prospect Jonathan Singleton's presence at Triple-A. He figures to be their long-term solution at the position, though none of the three listed by Stark is exactly the type of player who would block Singleton once he's ready for the Majors. This isn't the first we've heard of the Astros looking for first basemen this winter, however, as James Loney said that Houston made him a similar offer to the one he accepted from the Rays.
Carp was a key part of Boston's roster with a strong 2013 in which he slashed .296/.362/.523 with nine homers in a platoon capacity (he has long struggled against left-handed pitching). The Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo recently pegged him as a trade candidate, however, given a possible roster crunch. Mayberry and Moore seem like the types that would be more available in a trade, as neither has a clearly defined role on his respective team. In late January, it was reported that Mayberry could be moved in Spring Training. Going further back, FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reported in December that the Astros could be interested in Moore as a first base option.
For the time being, some combination of Jesus Guzman and Chris Carter figures to hold down the first base job in Houston while Singleton develops. The club also has Japhet Amador in camp as a non-roster invitee.

AL Notes: Rays, Garza, Ibanez, Astros
On this date in 1980, the Yankees made Dave Winfield the highest-paid athlete in all of sports with a ten-year, $16MM contract. In the intervening four decades, a ten-year MLB contract is now worth something in the neighborhood of $240MM (Robinson Cano and Albert Pujols) to $275MM (Alex Rodriguez). Meanwhile, $16MM will only buy you one year of Hiroki Kuroda or two years of Marlon Byrd this offseason, per MLBTR's Transaction Tracker. As you rush out and buy your child a bat, a glove, and every baseball instructional video ever made, here's today's American League news and notes:
- The Rays feel justified in giving James Loney the most lucrative free agent contract during Andrew Friedman's tenure, reports Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. The Rays value Loney's defense, quality at-bats, clubhouse presence, and his left-handed bat which balances a predominantly right-handed lineup.
- Also from Topkin's article, the Rays will now turn their attention to adding bench and bullpen pieces with catcher Jose Lobaton and outfielder Matt Joyce as possible trade chips.
- The market for Matt Garza is strong because of his 2013 season, AL East pedigree, and not being attached to draft pick compensation, tweets CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman.
- The Angels believe they can sign both Garza and Raul Ibanez and still fall below the $189MM luxury tax threshold, writes FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal. Rosenthal notes the Angels' interest in Ibanez stems from his career slash line of .349/.407/.522 in 327 plate appearances at Angel Stadium.
- Also from Rosenthal, the Astros are still in the market for a first baseman and could turn to the Nationals' Tyler Moore.
- Despite the signing of Joba Chamberlain, the Tigers' preference is to have Bruce Rondon set up closer Joe Nathan, according to John Lowe of the Detroit Free Press.
- The Royals are to be commended not just for signing Omar Infante away from the Yankees, but also strengthening their ballclub immediately at a reasonable cost, opines Fangraphs' Jeff Sullivan.

MovieMaker 6.0 in Win 7?
Seeing as how the Windows Live Movie Maker doesn't quite cut it, I thought I'd try Vista's version. Surprisingly, it seems to work simply by copying the Movie Maker folder from Vista's Program Files over to Win 7's Program Files folder. I didn't have to register any .dll's, it just worked...
With one exception. Titles. The Titles with effects like Fly in, fly out, etc. They smear the text horribly. I think it is video driver-related, since the same thing happens in my Vista installation with the latest nVidia drivers, but not with the driver supplied by Windows Update (18.104.22.16850).
Unfortunately, I can't find an nVidia driver for Win 7 that works. I know that MM 2.6 works for lots of people in Win 7, but I'd really like to get MM 6.0 to work. Any hints?
Thanks in advance...
System specs in the usual place.
|My System Specs
|31 May 2009
Ok, update time.
I installed Win 7 RC x86 and copied Vista's 32 bit Movie Maker 6.0. Using the nVidia driver installed during Win 7's installation (no updates yet) it worked! I can import movies from my Sony Mini-DV camcorder, edit them, add titles, etc. I did have to register a bunch of dll's to get the "Publish" function working but I am able to "Publish" an hour long movie to the PC and burn it to DVD using Win 7's DVD Maker.
I then gambled and let Windows Update install a new nVidia driver and...
the titles stopped working. I rolled back the video driver and it worked again.
Encouraged by this I re-installed the 64bit version of Win 7 and got the same results. It works with the first video driver from the Win 7 install disk, but any newer drivers break the titles.

Well, at least I'm not alone...
Saw a post on the nVidia forums with the same problem. It seems the latest nVidia drivers have a bug.

But what's most visible in the movie is the engaging acting. Murphy and Aykroyd are perfect foils for each other.
It's easily the best of the movies I've seen by the various "Saturday Night Live" alumni, and part of the reason it's funny and satisfying is that it doesn't strain. [09 Jun 1983]
Saturday Night Live activist Murphy, capitalising on the promise he showed in "48 Hrs.," steals the show as the quick-witted Billy Ray Valentine in what is certainly more mainstream fare than the earlier SNL staffed capers.
[Murphy] makes Trading Places something more than a good-hearted comedy. He turns it into an event.
Trading Places is a light romp geared up by the schtick shifted by Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy.
Although it tends to rely heavily on slapstick in the second half, the movie provides plenty of laughs and is one of director Landis's best efforts.
Trading Places, which is wildly funny at times, is Murphy's film. [10 Jun 1983]
Directed by John Landis with a surprising amount of class, though he lets some of his old ''Animal House'' vulgarity slip ostentatiously into the action.
Director John Landis is so deficient in basic storytelling skills that he must spend hours explicating the most elementary plot points while and Murphy are sidelined.

PatC.Jun 14, 2007The ease in which the hilarity oozes from this movie obscures its greater achievement, which is the deft way it presents its plot. It takes a broad spectrum of characters and plays them off each other in a merciless mix of outrageousness and serious restriant. This is textbook on how to tell a story. Top drawer comedy.… Full Review »
May 25, 2014Trading Places is such a great movie i dont see how this is not rated higher here on listal. Its really one of the only watchable Wall Street movies as most of them are rather boring but this with its different take on it and making it a comedy was a nice change and it pays off. Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy play off each other very well and their comedy was pure gold like when Aykroyd is on the train dressed as Santa eating the fish drunk as hell and Murphy when throwing away all the drugs and talking bad about them ends up taking a joint and smoking it later those two parts are just a few of many great moments in the movie. Jamie Lee Curtis as a hooker was funny and she did have a pretty great body back then also Paul Gleason again does a great job being a big A-hole he is like that in all his movies he is just too good at it. I think the best thing about this movie is that it all comes down to frozen orange juice its just so random.
Overall i give it a 7.7 This is one of the movies i never get tired of watching its just that great of a movie… Full Review »
May 20, 2014Trading Places is a very successful comedy as well as a very successful drama rolled into one. The comparison between rich and poor and the way the movie portrays it is well-executed. Some moments feel a bit manufactured and manipulative, possibly even overwrought, but the pros outweigh the cons here. It is just high entertainment of the first degree, with great performances from Akroyd and Murphy and smooth transitions in the story.… Full Review »

Turkey keen to grow Islamic finance: Borsa Istanbul chief
Tuesday, March 04, 2014
ISTANBUL – The global financial crisis has highlighted the potential for Islamic financial products, an industry which has achieved the rapid growth in the last decade, the head of the Istanbul Stock Exchange said on Monday.
Ibrahim Turhan, head of Borsa Istanbul claimed that the global Islamic finance industry`s assets were estimated to have reached $1.6 trillion in 2012, and that "structural problems" in international finance could be addressed by using Islamic banking practices.
Turan was speaking at a conference on Islamic finance organized by Borsa Istanbul with the collaboration of the World Bank, the Islamic Development Bank and the Turkish Central Bank, among others. Despite the industry's growth Turan said that Islamic finance currently constitutes only 1.6 percent of total assets of world finance.
"Some structural problems of financial markets were uncovered in the global financial crisis. At this stage, the world financial market has rediscovered Islamic finance's asset-based features and … thinks that the increasing gap between capital markets and real markets can be bridged in Islamic finance," he said.
He also said that the Islamic finance industry`s assets are projected to amount to $6.5 trillion by 2020. Adding that 18 Islamic sukuk (bonds) worth $7.2 billion have been issued in Turkey since 2010, Turhan claimed that the country wanted to make Istanbul the most important center [in the non-interest financing field] of Western and Eastern Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. There are three indexes and four funds consistent with Islamic rules already operating on Borsa Istanbul and the World Bank opened a Global Center for Islamic Finance in Istanbul in October 2013.
Also speaking at the conference was the vice-president of Islamic Development Bank, Abdul Aziz Al Hinai who said: "The developing countries need to have new strategies after the US Federal Reserve decided to cut its controversial bond-buying program."
"Capital structure based on Islamic finance is much more stable than capital based on interest rates."
Experts in Islamic finance have said that despite the positive developments, moving forward in the deteriorating global economic environment, added to a shortage of education and product awareness in some jurisdictions plus legal and tax issues are just some of the challenges facing Islamic banking.

|Katy Perry gets a Tap Tap Revenge game for iPhone

Disney subsidiary Tapulous has launched its latest premium Tap Tap Revenge music game for iPhone – Katy Perry Revenge.
The game features ten of Perry's hits to tap along to, including California Gurls, I Kissed a Girl and Hot N Cold.
It also offers news, photos, chatrooms and Facebook Connect functionality so players can post scores to the social network.
The $4.99 game is launching the same week that Perry's new album is released.

|'Circle The Drain' is on iTunes!
|autor: | August 11th, 2010 | add comment | Audios ,Gallery Updates ,Media ,News ,Others ,Releases
The good news for Katy Perry fans, in the lead-up to the release of her sophomore album, Teenage Dream, is how generous the "California Gurls" singer has been with her new music. Rather than having to wait for the official release date (gasp!), Perry's been steadily releasing songs over iTunes — dropping "Teenage Dream" and "Not Like The Movies" in quick succession.
Like I said, it's great news for Katy Perry fans. Not such great news for her exes, like, say, Travie McCoy, who some fans speculate might be the subject of her latest song, "Circle The Drain."
This serrated, edgy rock number, produced by Tricky Stewart, finds Perry taking aim at an ex-lover with a pill problem, with lyrIcs like, "Thought I was the exception/I could rewrite your addiction/You could have been the greatest/But you'd rather get wasted."
You can listen to the fabulous song here and don't forget to buy it on iTunes now by clicking HERE. Katy's new album "Teenage Dream" is out August 24.

Man faces 10 years in state prison in state prison.
The 29-year-old Murdock man has been incarcerated since running a highway stop sign on February 2nd and T-boning another vehicle.
Andrew L. Zeorian will be sentenced June 23rd. He pled guilty yesterday to leaving the scene of a serious injury accident, a Class III Felony and to driving under the influence, third offense, a Class W Misdemeanor. The pleas were part of an agreement in which a felony DUI count involving an accident with injuries was amended to the misdemeanor.
The agreement also included Zeorian's acceptance of the "habitual criminal" enhancement on the Class III Felony conviction. Cass County District Court Judge Jeffrey Funke explained that the enhancement means the 5 to 20 year possible sentence is increased to a mandatory minimum of 10 years on the low end with no 'good time' credit accruing until Zeorian has served a full 10 years in the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services system. (The DUI felony charge that was amended had also carried the habitual criminal enhancement.)
Deputy Cass County Attorney Steve Sunde said Zeorian's prior two Class IV Felony convictions for theft in 2003 and criminal mischief in 2004, and his Class III Felony burglary conviction in 2005, make up the basis for the habitual criminal enhancement.
On Sunday, February 2nd of this year Zeorian was the driver of a westbound pickup on Highway 1 that ran the stop sign at Highway 50 and struck a northbound taxi service van with two occupants broadside. The two individuals suffered serious upper body injuries.
There was a witness to the accident.
Zeorian left the scene and did not summon help or render aid, said Sunde. Instead he drove to his residence in Murdock and 45 minutes later called Deputy Billy West of the Cass County Sheriff's Department. Sunde said the deputy responded detected the odor of alcohol on Zeorian and there were open containers in the pickup truck. At the hospital, Zeorian's blood alcohol content tested at .160, twice the legal limit. He was placed in custody that night and bond was later set at $100,000.

As you know, my car has been giving me trouble, and I've been getting more and more frustrated with it. When my repair shop told me last month I'd have to get some very expensive repairs to keep it safe, I was ready to throw in the towel. I took it to a different shop for a second opinion, and boy was it an interesting experience. They didn't find anything wrong with the car. The parts that the first shop said I needed to replace were in good condition. Are you sure you didn't mishear them? They said. Yes, I was very sure, because I took good notes.
So I think the first repair shop was trying to rip me off. The good news is that I've avoided unnecessary, expensive repairs. The bad news is -- how much has the first repair shop robbed me of over the last two years? They just kept finding repairs to do on my car. So that's the bad news.
I think I'll always get a second opinion on my car repair from now on.
