Jeff Green throws down two monster dunks on the Magic (VIDEO)
Feb 2, 2013, 6:30 PM EST
Despite the recent troubles in Boston, where the Celtics have seen Rajon Rondo and Jared Sullinger go down in the same week with season-ending injuries, the team managed to keep it together enough to take care of a slumping Orlando Magic team on Friday.
The play off Jeff Green was a huge reason why.
Green played 33 minutes off the bench and led his team in scoring with 17 points on 8-14 shooting. Of course, it's easy to shoot a high percentage when two of your buckets come on thunderous slam dunks in the half court set.

text: NBC's 'SNL' Spikes Skit Mocking Obama for Spiking Football on Bin Laden Raid Print article Send a Tip by Christian Toto 6 May 2012 post a comment Any news parody show worth its salt would make hay out of President Barack Obama spiking the football over the raid that killed Osama bin Laden. And "Saturday Night Live" dutifully wrote a skit on the presidential's boastful actions intended to open the program. Only the show ended up spiking the skit, according to The Daily Caller which got a leak of the planned script for the sketch. The bit had Fred Armisen's Obama extolling the glories of Killing Osama bin Laden day and telling American citizens the best way to celebrate both the day and his "gusty call" to order the strike. What did the NBC show replace the Obama sketch with, you ask? Another bit trashing "Fox and Friends" for being dumb, biased and racist. The move certainly raises plenty of questions. Why was the sketch scrapped? Did NBC or the show itself feel any pressure to swap the sketch out for something that wouldn't offend President Barack Obama? Did some cast members raise objections or refuse to do the skit? Many former "SNL" performers have discussed the creative process behind the show. And it's routine for sketches to be trimmed or eliminated for a host of reasons before show time. But this particular sketch was extremely time sensitive and political in nature, two elements that matter to a satirical program like "SNL." "SNL's" Sarah Palin parodies help define the Alaskan governor to the nation. And the show clearly doesn't want to use its humor to damage the current White House occupant in an election year. That becomes more clear every Saturday night. Big Hollywood has been relentless in mocking today's comedians for either ignoring Obama or serving as his unofficial palace guards, protecting him from criticism. It's a shameful state of affairs regarding how humorists approach the most powerful man in the world, and one that will surely end if Mitt Romney wins the November presidential election.

BRENTWOOD, Calif. (AP) - Prosecutors are considering criminal charges against a middle-school boy who police say forced a girl into sexual acts by threatening her with explicit photos of her on his cellphone.
The Contra Costa Times reports that Brentwood police were called to Adams Middle School this week to investigate reports that students were exchanging photos of themselves in various stages of undress.
Police say students between the ages of 12 and 14 from four area schools used electronic devices to share the pictures, and that one boy used one photo to force a girl to perform sex acts.
Students found with the pictures have been disciplined by the school administration.
Meanwhile, the Contra Costa County district attorney is deciding whether to file criminal charges.

NEW YORK, January 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
With the competition bringing in more powerful chips, new chips are seen as necessary to help QCOM maintain the top position for years to come.
Immediately after the announcement of rival chipmaker NVIDIA's highly anticipated successor to Tegra 3 chip, the six times as powerful Tegra 4, segment leader Qualcomm, Inc. (NASDAQ: QCOM) [Full Research Report](1) released its own set of quad-core chips with long-term evolution (LTE) support, coming as a surprise to some -the company's first offering of this kind.
For additional due diligence beyond the scope of this article, read our full featured research report on Qualcomm, Inc. including full detailed breakdown, technical analysis, analyst ratings and price targets - absolutely free of charge - available at: http://www.nationaltradersassociation.org/r/read_report/31e1_QCOM.
The new chipsets, Snapdragon 600 and 800 will be carrying the Snapdragon S4 Pro chip, which gives as much as 75 percent more CPU grunt and 50 percent better graphics than its predecessor, in addition to a doubling of GPU compute.
The chips are also based on last year's highly successful Krait architecture, which has been widely adopted by the smartphone industry. They are built on the same 28 nanometer (nm) technology, but they consume much less power despite the performance and clock speed boost.
Smartphone sales are skyrocketing, considering the macroeconomic environment, with 2011 posting 42 percent year-over-year growth rates and 2012 expected to be just as high, according to Forbes. Meanwhile, tablet sales grew at a whopping 250% in 2011, and are expected to reach 370 million unit sales come 2016.
With that, Qualcomm's market share is seen to grow from 65 percent in 2011 to 67 percent this year - according to Trefis - largely due to the company's aggressive plans to expand to emerging markets like China and India.
However, Trefis also expects higher competition from NVIDIA, Texas Instruments (TXN), and Broadcom (BRCM), opening the possibility of Qualcomm's market share to fall below 63% instead. The expansion plans to emerging markets meanwhile will continue to decline from 3.5 percent in 2011 to just 3.1 percent this year as the markets command lower rates.
This shouldn't be much cause of alarm though, as the world's two dominant mobile ecosystems, Google's (GOOG) Android and Apple's (AAPL) iOS will continue to have a place for Qualcomm's chipsets. They have also partnered with Microsoft's (MSFT) promising Windows Phone 8 platform, bannered by the Snapdragon-powered HTC 8X and Nokia (NOK) Lumia 920.
While Android and iOS have an 85 percent market near-duopoly, Microsoft's promising push with WP8 could quickly change that in an instant. Fortunately, Qualcomm has been named the sole chipset supplier for WP8 handsets, having covered that base as well.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons. In the IoT vision, every new "thing" - sensor, actuator, data source, data con...

Chariot Racing in the Ancient World
When you had covered the open stretch of the track, the part where it narrows and is enclosed by the long spina with its channel and lap counter caught you from our gaze. But when the turn round the far post restored you to our view, your second string was in the lead; your two opponents had passed you, and you were lying fourth. The two drivers in the middle hoped that the leader would swing out to the right on one of the turns and allow them to slip inside him and secure the inner berth. You kept your horses reined back, reserving your effort for the seventh lap. Sweat flew from horses and drivers, and the roar of the crowd grew louder ...
(Sidonius, Carmina XXIII, p360)
Once the horses had passed, officials hastened onto the course to clear it from debris before the chariots reappeared for the next lap and water was sprinkled onto the sand to settle it.

Green Cemeteries
Kinkaraco is a culturally and spiritually diverse company that cherishes the Death Rituals of Human Beings all over this Earth.Here is a brief collection of Burial practices and histories of peoples who incorporate BURIAL SHROUDS in their sacred practices as well as herbs and flowers .
What is a SHROUD?
Traditionally a shroud is a long piece of cloth, usually cotton or linen that is wrapped around a body after it has been ceremonially washed.
Jesus Christ was buried in a shroud. "It was Preparation Day ... So as evening approached,Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body ... With, Pilate's permission, he came and took the body away. He was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about 75 pounds. Taking Jesus' body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen. This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs." (John 19:38-42.) "Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut out of the rock. Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there. He rolled a big stone in front of the entrance to the tomb and went away." (Matthew 27:59,60; John 19:38-42.)
Jewish Shrouds are white and entirely hand-stitched. They are made without buttons, zippers, or fasteners. Tahrihim (the Hebrew term for Shrouds) come in muslin or linen, fabrics that recall the garments of the ancient Hebrew priesthood. There is little difference in appearance or cost between them; the funeral home may or may not offer a choice. Tahrihim come packaged in sets for men and women. Regardless of gender, they include shirt, pants, a head covering, and a belt. Men may also be wrapped in a kittel, a simple, white ceremonial jacket that some Jews wear on Yom Kippur, at the Passover seder, and under the wedding canopy.
This religion has a very clear set of protocols for dealing with the deceased. The body must be placed on its sides and washed with warm water and soap, generally by a member of the same sex, with the final washing having scented water. There must be an odd number of washings (a trend against odd numbers is also visible in the Hindu faith), some of the stomach's contents must be pushed out, and the teeth and nose must be cleaned on the outside as a form of ablution (spiritual cleansing). Then the body is dried, perfumed, and wrapped in white cloth or SHROUD. Burial prayers are then said facing Mecca before a silent procession takes the corpse to its burial, where al the attendants share in filling the grave with soil and a second pit with bricks while saying additional prayers. The body is to buried soon after the prayer. The wrapped body is to be laid directly at the bottom of the dug grave on its right side facing the direction of Makkah. A ceiling is attached to the grave and then covered with dirt. A stone may be used to mark the location of the grave, but no writings are allowed. Buildings or other forms of structures are not allowed on top of the grave. Charity, fasting, prayers, and pilgrimage is often performed on behalf of the dead. Visiting the graves is recommended for the living to remember death and the day of judgment.
HINDU FUNERAL TRADITIONS The Hindu belief in reincarnation provides the basis for its funeral rituals. Though these practices differ somewhat among social and economic groups, there is a common core of tradition.For married Hindus, men and women alike, cremation is the normal procedure for disposing of the body. There is no specific time element involved, but in most cases the rite takes place within a day of the death.Those who are unmarried may be buried.
Preparation of the body usually entails bathing, anointing with a mixture of water and sandalwood and daubing with turmeric powder and water. The body must be garbed with a new cloth or SHROUD. Flowers, incense and rose water enhance the bier.Priests, or Brahmans, chant ritual forms, called mantras, along with the family, and ritual offerings of rice and milk are made to the Brahmans. Soon the body is removed to the cremation grounds, usually on the banks of a river.By custom, the eldest son presides at the cremation in the company of a priest. The ashes are collected and deposited in one of India's holy rivers. For the next 10 days, family members are considered ritually impure and normally remain in the home. By the end of that time, the soul of the deceased is believed to have acquired a new body, and the consequences of the last life, its rewards and punishments, are unfolded.
The bodies were treated with spices, herbs and chemicals so that they became mummies rather than decomposing. The corpses were then placed in cotton cloth wrappings and put inside of a wooden case that was put inside of another case that was decorated with details of their life and a mask of their face. This was then placed in a coffin that was put in a sarcophagus. The largest and oldest monuments are the pyramids that served as tombs for their kings. However, the bodies of poor people were treated less elaborately, but on the other hand cats, sacred animals, were mummified. The powder of mummies was sold in the Middle Ages by apothecaries. Mummies were also produced in Incan cultures in South America and Aztec cultures in Mexico.
NATIVE AMERICAN burial shrouds
The Mysterious ANASAZI
The high desert of the Colorado Plateau, a region characterized by high mesas and deep canyons with springs & streams (that are often dry except for spring runoff and storms), has been home to native Americans for thousands of years. For most of history, the region was occupied by archaic foragers. Then around two thousand years ago horticulture (in the form of maize & squash) & villages of pit houses began to appear in the Four Corners area of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, & Colorado, signaling the beginning of the Anasazi tradition. Because the people of this time did not use or make pottery but relied on an extensive inventory of baskets they are called "Basket Maker."
Traditionally Anasazi history is divided into two large periods,: "Basket Maker" & "Pueblo." The former develops out of an archaic base, adding to the archaic peoples cultural inventory a wide variety of new elements including agriculture, permanent houses, careful burial, and long-term living in one spot.
Basket Maker II - A.D. 1 to 500 has much more elaborate basketry techniques & forms beautiful flexible bags woven of vegetable fibers - used for a multitude of purposes including as Burial Shrouds.

80th Division Helmet markings WWI
Posted 26 February 2009 - 09:28 AM
Posted 26 February 2009 - 09:41 AM
Second full paragraph on page 130 of History of the Eightieth Division, A.E.F., authored by Russell Stultz, and edited, enhanced and published by Dr. Anthony in 2004:
Previously announced, the distinctive symbols of the various units of the Division were
declared official on April 30th. For the four Infantry regiments, in their order beginning with the
317t h Infantry, they were a diamond, square, circle, and half-circle; the symbol of each unit's
Headquarters Company was colored red. white and blue, that of the Supply Company red and white.
and that of the Machine Gun Company red and blue; the battalion symbols were colored red, white,
and blue, in numerical order. The three Machine Gun Battalions were identified with a shield - blue
and white, red and white, and red and blue, in order, beginning with the 313M. Other units of the
command were assigned equally distinctive symbols, thereby enabling property and individuals to be
immediately identified by the markings required on the packing cases, wagons, helmets, and other
property articles.
Mr. Stultz was the official historian for the 80th Division in WW I, and spent years compiling data for his manuscript.The publication of the book in 2004 by Doc Anthony was not well received by the memorabilia community who claim to have "provenance" for certain markings, and insist that the Stultz data is wrong. However, Stultz was in the 80th Division, studied its history for many years following the War, and included official documents in his writing.
Stultz did not specifically identify lesser units (MST, Field Signal Bn, etc.) and I have seen a few other markings that obviously were utilized by these units.

" the distinctive symbols of the various units of the Division were declared official on April 30th. For the four Infantry regiments, in their order beginning with the 317th Infantry, they were a diamond, square, circle, and half-circle"
Fascinating and undeniably useful information; but I wonder if, perhaps during Dr Anthony's editing and enhancement, it has been somehow garbled. Taken at face value we have the attribution of the markings for the infantry, as...
317th Infantry-diamond,
318th Infantry- square,
319th Infantry- circle and
320th Infantry- semi circle.
So far so good; but information posted elsewhere in this thread suggest that the diamond was actually used by 319th Infantry; see, for example, the gas mask bag of Private Harrer and the helmet mentioned by "mars&thunder" .I think that most would agree with the attribution of the semi circle to 320th Infantry. The ebay guide, by "80thdivcollector", attributes the square to 318th Infantry and I see little reason to doubt that. So we now have...
317th Infantry-circle (?),
318th Infantry- square,
319th Infantry- diamond and
320th Infantry- semi circle.
The colour sequence seems correct and explains the marking sketched; size 60 by 35 mm, found painted on the left side of a 80 Division helmet.
I've not seen any helmets with painted discs attributed to 80th Division (can anyone post an example?), but I have seen one which seems to use the same system of a Company letter on a geometric shape; a red "F" on a white triangle. Perhaps coincidentally the Company letter and colour conform to the colour coding of the battalions; white for 2nd Battalion. Of course the marking may be nothing to do with 80th Division.
More problematic are the two helmets with shield shaped markings bearing the Company letters "D" and "E"; apparently both on green and definitely from 80th Division. Personally I think these are part of a later post war scheme; but I'll happily stand corrected.
My thanks to all who have contributed to this thread so far.
And for "VounteerArmory"; I/320 would have worn, on the left side of the helmet...

Generally, the only thing that matters in the first preseason game is how quickly we get to the final whistle and the health of all involved when it arrives. But this Bears team is different in a number of ways, and it's possible the preseason opener in Charlotte, N.C., will be, too.
It will be Marc Trestman's first time in the driver's seat on an NFL sideline, and I'm sure we'll form certain impressions that will stick with us for a while. Nothing is worth the ridiculous ticket prices NFL teams charge for these exhibitions, but it will be well worth our time to observe how the new sheriff in town runs the show.
More than that, though, what fascinates me about this team is that I can't remember the last time the Bears entered the preseason opener with so many starting positions up for grabs. Both guard spots, right tackle, third wide receiver, left defensive end, middle linebacker (because of D.J. Williams' injury) and nickel back all appear to be open.
Perhaps you have Earl Bennett penciled in as the third wideout and Williams as the middle linebacker, but my gut and my eyes tell me the powers-that-be don't. Clearly, the three offensive-line spots are being hotly contested, and while Corey Wootton and Shea McClellin will share time at left end, as well as in a three-man rotation with Julius Peppers on both sides, one of the two will emerge as the starter on the left.
The majority of these battles will take the entire preseason to play out, but it's possible the right-tackle, third-wideout and nickel-back jobs will be claimed against the Carolina Panthers.
How many times have we seen players make surprise showings early in training camp that stick with us and gain momentum? Right now, Eben Britton, Joe Anderson and Isaiah Frey are clearly the flavors of the month in Bourbonnais.
I could be in the minority, but I'm not even sure the third-wideout spot is a competition. Bennett is out with a concussion, and Anderson has been gaining ground all offseason. With Brandon Marshall rehabbing the hip he had surgery on, Anderson got a ton of work in OTAs and minicamp with the first and second teams and played well consistently.
There are few veterans who can be replaced by equal or better talents and provide significant salary-cap relief by leaving, but Bennett is one. I'm not saying he's gone, but a big game against the Panthers for Anderson could be too much for Bennett to overcome.
Nobody saw Britton coming. He was just a guy the Bears added to compete somewhere on the O-line, and they had him at guard during the offseason. But he clearly was more comfortable at right tackle in Jacksonville. When Jermon Bushrod and backup Jonathan Scott went down in practice, Britton was the next man up, and he performed well.
That earned him a chance to compete with J'Marcus Webb on the right side when Bushrod came back, and Webb is clearly perceived as the weak link on this line. In successive post-practice media sessions this week, Trestman gave a lukewarm review of Webb, then some excited observations of Britton, indicating that a big game for Britton against Carolina could be the beginning of the end for Webb.
The only cornerbacks on the roster with NFL experience other than starters Charles Tillman and Tim Jennings after Kelvin Hayden went down are Zack Bowman and Sherrick McManus. Bowman already has been cut and re-signed once, and both are valued most for special teams. If Frey performs well at the nickel, the job will be his. If he stumbles, you can expect to see some new faces in Bourbonnais next week.

Why do women shed tears so easily ?

Answers (15)
how can u say this rukhsana ji, but since u have asked the ques. my reply is that men shed tears easily too but women cry easily becoz by nature they r more emotional and sentimental than men. most of the time they r supressed too both at home at work and when they get married at husband's place this makes them vernarable toemotions and when they see a situation similar to theirs or a let out they cry to lighten the heart. at other times they cry when situations go out of hands and they r pushed against the wll. but beliv me not all women are emotional taps they r strongand can face situations fiercely. but on the whole the felame species r much more stronger than their male artners , have u herd a woman getting a heart attach becoz her love left her or if fired from work they sulk 4 sometime then get ok but men they go into depression get hi BP etc. etc. but i will still feel women r the stronger speciesAnswered by Anand Sukumar, 31 Mar '08 10:35 am
It is a good weaponAnswered by mahavir sharma, 31 Mar '08 10:16 am
women have a greater propensity to cry (Lombardo, Crester, Lombardo & Mathis, 1983; Williams & Morris, 1996), cry more often (Frey 1983; Ross & Mirowsky, 1984; Williams & Morris, 1996) and also experience more intense crying (Bindra, 1972; Williams, 1982; Lombardo, Crester, Lombardo & Mathis 1983; Williams and Morris, 1996) than their male counterparts. Michael Gurian (2003) proposed that, on average, womens tear glands are 60% larger than mens. One evolutionary explanation for male and female differences in crying (Pease & Pease, 2002) is that if a man demonstrates emotions around other men, they would appear weak and become an easy target for others to attack him. Thus, men are rarely seen crying in public. On the contrary, women showing emotion to others, particularly other women, is seen as a sign of trust.Answered by DRSiva, 31 Mar '08 04:46 pm

Due to this, students and teachers alike are distrustful and intimidated by him. However, Hikaru is drawn to Asou after hearing a bell that he often carries with him and soon wants to get to know him and befriend him. Others attempt to dissuade Hikaru from having anything to do with Asou, as they think he will have a bad influence on her, but Hikaru wants to believe in the Asou that she sees and knows that he's not a bad person.Hikaru learns that behind his dangerous appearance, Asou is a kind person and as Asou begins to warm up to Hikaru, they gradually become closer.

SQL Karaoke, Volunteering and SQLPASS
Why do I volunteer for PASS?
Ive been asked more times than I can count why I spend so many hours working for an organization that doesnt pay anything other than thanks and smiles.
I work for a large company, and have a very small team of people. As such, it is often very helpful to have a sounding board outside of your sphere of influence to talk to people about ideas, issues and bacon, mostly bacon. Sure there has always been newsgroups and forums and they certainly have their place for this type of information exchange. However, when you know someone and have shared a dinner, a beer, a session, or even just a 5 minute hall discussion, they are more vested in you're outcome than some random stranger on an internet forum. The overall quality of the conversations and of the information that is exchanged in these groups is higher than the average internet sql community, if only by a little bit.
Payment (in the form of knowledge) for the work I do for PASS is 100% reaped by my employer, in the form of better database systems! Granted my professional knowledge is also increased but, whats good for me is good for them too right? This becomes a pretty easy sell at least in my head to know that I can put in some hours of work for a professional organization and in return they open up many conversation breakers between myself and not only the superstars of the SQL community but between myself and many of the rest of the community that is just as eager to share their knowledge.
So, with that in mind I give you a new friend that Ive twittered with for quite a while but,only just met at SQLPASS this year @mrdenny (blog). I think Denny may have had 1 too many Jaeger shots that night but, this rendition of eye of the tiger is #PASSAWESOMENESS
