Second Invisible Web Class to be Offered
It seems that the Conquering the Invisible Web class which I'll be teaching next week at the Wisconsin State Law Library was overbooked, so we've decided to offer a second section next month.
The new section is scheduled for Wednesday September 21, 2005 10:00-11:30 a.m. and openings are still available. The course is based on my article, Searching Smarter: Finding Legal Resources on the Invisible Web, Wisconsin Lawyer, September 2004.
For more information on this and other classes offered by the State Law Library, see their Classes and Tours page.

Company continues to be ranked among top 20 businesses overall
SAN DIEGO, January, 2010 – The highly anticipated annual Entrepreneur® "Franchise 500" has once again placed The UPS Store® at the top of the postal and business services category. This marks the 20th consecutive year the company has earned the honor. In addition, the company continues to rank in the top 20 of the overall listings.
"As we begin our 30th year in business, our franchisees continue to provide the personalized service that has made us the industry leader," said Stuart Mathis, president of Mail Boxes Etc., Inc. (MBE), franchisor of The UPS Store. "We see this honor as a testament to our ability to adapt to the marketplace and the changing needs of our customers, small-business owners in particular."
The company has achieved unit growth despite the recent economic downturn. This is attributable, in part, to the company's participation in the International Franchise Association's (IFA) VetFran program, which provides financial incentives to veterans interested in opening a franchised business. Last year, MBE increased its incentive to $10,000 off the $29,950 franchise fee for opening a new franchise location. Additionally, with the new VetFran incentives, veterans will only pay $3,750 of the original $15,000 initial application fee, which is applied to the franchise fee.
Another aspect of the company's growth has been a focus on special-venue locations, such as hotels and convention centers, colleges and universities, and military bases. In 2009, the company opened 19 special-venue locations and expects to exceed that number in 2010.
At the unit level, same-store sales have been supported by a strong corporate retail solutions program that provides retail products and services designed to help companies operate more efficiently. These business solutions integrate UPS® technology and systems with The UPS Store retail presence to provide business services, returns and exchange programs, and alternate delivery locations, among other offerings.
The introduction of an online printing program in 2009 further enhanced the service offerings available to consumers and small-business customers. With nearly 4,400 locations, its size and accessibility position
The UPS Store as a leader in the online printing arena.
Individuals interested in joining The UPS Store network will find more details at www.theupsstore.com/franchise. For more information on the IFA's VetFran Program, visit www.franchise.org.
With approximately 4,800 locations in the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada, The UPS Store and Mail Boxes Etc.® network comprises the world's largest franchise system of retail shipping, postal, document and business service centers. In the United States, The UPS Store and Mail Boxes Etc. locations are independently owned and operated by licensed franchisees of Mail Boxes Etc., Inc., a UPS subsidiary. In Canada, locations are independently owned and operated by licensed franchisees of master licensee MBEC Communications, L.P.

Product Details
Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images?
One of the most influential guitartists of the 20th Century, B.B. King has achieved icon status, along with his guitar Lucille. Truly the blues greatest ambassador, B.B. continues to electrify audiences and spread the gospel of the blues.
What's surprising is how well King's singing and playing continue to resist the years, especially when he unfurls his hearty voice on "All Over Again" as Mark Knopfler's guitar plays equally soulful foil. And Gloria Estefan is richly colorful duetting on "There Must Be a Better World Somewhere." What's disappointing is the perfunctory quality of King's match-ups with Roger Daltrey ("Never Make Your Move Too Soon") and Elton John ("Rock This House"). Van Morrison, Glenn Frey, Sheryl Crow, and Bobby Bland complete the guest list. --Ted Drozdowski

Improving patient safety in the U.S. health care system
The U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has a mandate to help health care providers reduce medical errors and improve patient safety. To achieve these goals, AHRQ should create a national patient safety data repository, try to balance research and adoption activities, and more.

Are African Americans less willing to use health care?
In accounting for treatment disparities, prior research has assumed that African Americans are less predisposed to seek treatment or are more skeptical of the care they receive. A recent study finds the opposite to be true.

Cost of an emergency room visit higher than generally believed
How and when to deliver non-urgent care in an emergency department merits careful review.

ACI`s World Elastomer Summit 2013 will provide in depth analysis of today fundamental shift of global C4 olefins and elastomers markets. Globally, trade patterns for butadiene and related products will continue to shift as production of end-use products relocate to developing countries, mainly to China.
The emergence of China and the rest of the developing world as significant players in the automotive markets is causing much of the rapid demand growth for Butadiene and its derivatives.
Butadiene & derivatives are growing faster than feedstock supply so alternative production sources are emerging as on purpose butadiene production will start to become a major market driver later in this decade.
Finally, the event will address the latest technological advancements of S-SBR, PBR EVA production and investigate the impact of tyre labelling on the synthetic rubber market as a result of a more performance conscious market.

UnitedHealthcare Opens New Comprehensive Health Benefits Store In New York's Chinatown
UnitedHealthcare today opened its newest health benefits store at 168 Centre St. in Chinatown, New York, continuing the company's nearly 20-year commitment to serving local residents with comprehensive and personalized customer service. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held today with elected officials, community leaders and UnitedHealthcare executives.
The new UnitedHealthcare Asian Plaza in Chinatown replaces the company's first-ever retail-like customer support center that opened in 1994. This latest storefront is the 23 rd to open in the United States and was modeled after the successful design used at the company's Queens store. On average, more than 3,000 people a month have visited the Queens store since it opened in 2011.
With a focus on serving the Asian-American community, the new UnitedHealthcare Asian Plaza in Chinatown will provide residents with information and customer service on all UnitedHealthcare benefits plans, including Medicare, Medicaid, small business and individual, while also offering health and wellness services, and free public health education programs.
"UnitedHealthcare is opening this newest storefront in Chinatown in order to provide individuals and businesses with simple, personalized information about both their benefits coverage and health and well-being," said Chris Law, national vice president, UnitedHealthcare's Asian Initiatives. "We are honored to join with local elected officials, community leaders and residents to open our new store to the community."At the new 11,000-square-foot consumer-support center in Chinatown, visitors can sit down with customer service professionals and discuss their health benefits in their native language, ask questions about claims or billing issues, and seek assistance on other health insurance-related matters. Specially trained staff are also available to help local residents, including those who are not UnitedHealthcare customers, identify and apply for more than 15 types of state and federal social service programs, including the Elderly Pharmaceutical Insurance Coverage (EPIC) program, Medicare Savings Program (MSP), the New York State Food Stamps program, and heat and electric subsidies.

They can be creepy. They can be disturbing. They can obviously be gross, gory and gruesome. On rare occasions, they can even be shocking enough to make you jump out of your seat... or at least shift unexpectedly from one well-formed couch groove to another.
Are videogames, however, really that scary? Not superficially, but deeply and viscerally? Do they force you to cover your eyes like a good horror movie? Do they inspire nightmares like a midnight ghost story? Do they torment your imagination the same way a walk through the woods or a cemetery could? Do videogames truly, honestly frighten you?
I don't think so, and here are 13 reasons why. Agree? Disagree?
Share your thoughts in the comments below.
#1 You can't die. Not permanently, anyway. The awful finality of death, and the terrifying unknown of what lies on the other side, is the only reason anything in life is scary. If all we had to do to survive is hit the reset button or wait through a quick load time, we would fear absolutely nothing... with the possible exception of boredom.
#2 You don't care about those who can die. Obviously, you can't be killed in a horror movie, either – the characters are the ones who die. On the big screen, however, we empathize with even the least talented extra or C-list actor, simply because we recognize them as fellow human beings. When a knife stabs through their flesh, we subconsciously imagine how we would feel if that knife stabbed through our flesh. The characters in games are usually too underdeveloped, both in personality and physicality, for us to view them as real people.
#3 The consequences are wrong. We don't avoid Pyramid Head and Big Daddy because they can disembowel us with large sharp objects; we avoid them because that disembowelment would cause us to lose five to ten minutes of progress. When they attack us, we don't scream out of pain; we curse out of anger that we might have to replay the level all over again. The dominant emotions experienced during horror games are anger, frustration and confusion, not fear, panic or anxiety.
#4 The priorities are wrong. When confronted with a mass murdering monster, your natural instinct should be to run like hell. In movies, books and campfire tales, the protagonists do everything in their power to escape the threat before finally, when no other option is left, facing down the threat. Since the very nature of gaming requires us to fight these bogeymen on a regular basis, we instead learn to set traps and detect weaknesses. The monsters become our prey, not our predators.
#5 The settings and situations are unbelievable. What's scarier? A monster stalking an abandoned space station or a monster stalking your own neighborhood? A killer with a silly pyramid on his head or a killer in a generic mask from the local department store? A comically oversized drill or a basic kitchen knife? Jason X or the original Friday the 13th? Videogames strive hard for creativity and escapism, but forget that a slightly twisted sense of the familiar is far more frightening.
#6 The heroes and weapons are unbelievable. Let's compare and contrast again. In the first Halloween film, an ordinary high school student is forced to fight Michael Myers with nothing but a metal coat hanger. In Dead Space, an armored engineer fights intergalactic zombies with plasma guns, flamethrowers and "supercollider contact beams." Sound like a fair fight to you? Overpowered protagonists and arsenals are fun to play with, of course, but they obliterate sensations that are crucial to creating fear, like helplessness and exposure. Plus, how can we project ourselves inside the scary experience if our avatar is so completely, drastically different from us?
#7 Technology isn't good enough. Hold up the most advanced game on the market and it still won't look as real as the oldest, grainiest, cheesiest horror movie. It won't match the mental images you conjure while reading a book or listening to a ghost story, either. The graphics are clearly just that – graphics. The animations may be "lifelike" and the sound effects may "surround" you, but those things grow less and less convincing the more and more you see or hear them. Don't forget the age factor. Nosferatu, a 1922 silent film, still freaks out modern audiences; Resident Evil, a 1996 videogame, couldn't scare babies a mere decade after release.

I have had my dreads for a touch over a year. They have not tighten up all the way yet. Still a ways to go (years) before they are where I would like them. But I am happy with them thus far. I have had a lot of complements on them too. From younger folks to those who I would least expect to even or ever say any thing to me about them. Many folks that are in their 60's saying who cool it is, asking me if it is all my own hair, asking questions on how to care for them or how did I get them to look that way...I love it. It educates them on dreads, gets them away from stereo typing those with dreads. Which is fun for me and I like talking dreads. My son just cut his all off after 7 years :-(, but each their own, I will keep him anyway :-}, Now it is just me, his momma with dreads. I have pictures of his on my page if you want to take a peek. My journey has been very warm and pleasant.
you take care
BleeckerBetty, those are some serious dreads!!! Wonderful looking. How long have you had them?
peace from momma has dreads

A special present tied up with beautiful ribbons of cerulean blue…A Victorian pendant is comprised of three elements—a top bale, a middle body and a suspended drop. The surface is ornamented in a heavenly blue enamel basket weave pattern. At each enamel juncture is an old mine or cushion cut diamond.
The top is surmounted by a diamond encrusted ribbon that wraps around the bale. Three (3) diamonds are set in the bale; eight (8) in the ribbon surmount and nine (9) in the center oval. The old mine and cushion cut gems are beautifully and deeply cut. The center stone is approximately .33 carats and the total estimated diamond weight is over 1.25 carats. The pearl drop has six (6) rose cuts in the top cap. The pearl is possibly a replacement as it is a cultured pearl. The mount is gold topped silver and yellow gold.
The reverse has a locket back that can be opened by a jeweler. The compartment is now empty with a paper insert.
Condition: Very good; patina in crevices; possible replacement of pearl drop; original locket contents lost to time. Enamel and diamonds are in excellent condition.
Measurements: More than 1-5/8 inches (4.4 cm) in length by more than 5/8 of an inch (1.7 cm) at the widest. It has a weight of 6.8 grams.
Date: Circa 1880
Note: All diamond weights are approximate since the stones were not removed from their mounts to preserve the integrity of the setting.

Receiving Email and Username Problem
I tried to create an email account with the name email@example.com. On ISPConfig - User &Email, the username is prefix as web1_ . Is there anywhere I can fix this not to have a prefix? I just need username as dstme instead web1_dstme. Please help, thanks again.:)
I have another problem, I tried to test sending email from one account to firstname.lastname@example.com but failure notice return. But there is no problem sending out from email@example.com using ISPConfig. Any thing that I set wrongly on ISPConfig?
1st Question if you go to the management tab on the main menu and then to settings, there is an option on one of the tabe for what the prefix is. You can delete it out of there and then you wone have it in front of any new e-mail accounts you create.
2nd: try send it to web[id[email@example.com and see if that works.
Thank mphayesuk! Got it.
For everyone it is: Management>SystemConfig>Settings>ISP Manager
But another problem. I delete the email account so I can recreate without prefix. It does not allow me to recreate, error message " The username is already in use." Any help please.
Try emptying the "trash can" and then wait for a couple of minutes... it should then allow you to re-create with same name.
I did empty Trash many times and also delete the whole site account and recreate. The error still pop up when I add new email with same username. Any other way?
Also, I look at the database, it start with "web2_". I deleted as above but database still with the prefix. Can it with the prefix with account username?
Is the trash empty after you emptied it? have you emptied the trash of the correct reseller? Every Reseller and the admin have their own trash.
Have you emtied the web prefix field under: Management > SystemConfig > Settings on the tab ISP Manager? If so, you can enter every username without a prefix, but its not recommended because the username may collide with usernames from other sites.
Hi Till,
I created the client and site accounts which is shown under Site and not reseller or Client. Trash was also emptied.
Anyway, I have deleted the whole account again and and tried again. And I make sure emptied the web prefix field under: Management > SystemConfig > Settings on the tab ISP Manager. Now, I have create a client shown under Client and website under Site. Same error message "The username is already in use".
Also, I try to create the db, and this time database is web3_db1 and Database User: web3_u1.:confused:
Hi Falko,
For DB, can I reset it and not use web1_. Can I use username instead?
For the email, I still unable to create with the same username. Anyway to delete it permanently and recreate again?
Also, when I emptied the prefix, I can't seem to login to FTP.

for REGISTRATION!
Click on the word "registration" and a new window will open with all of the details. I am totally and completely excited about this session for 5 reasons:
1. This is the 5th year I am teaching this course — FIVE YEARS!
2. I have refreshed and reorganized the content of Library of Memories (LOM for short) and am recommending new tools and processes that make things easier and more efficient as we all navigate our way through the digital revolution. In other words, with the help of Kayla Lamoreaux, Library of Memories now fully embraces both traditional and digital scrapbookers (as well as all of us somewhere in the middle.)
3. We are adding a new feature to the LOM classroom that will enable me to adjust my teaching to the needs of the current group of students — that's all I'm saying for now, but trust me, it's cool!
4. I love preparing to teach this class. I am having a great deal of FUN with my personal system right now and that is such a great and energizing feeling.
5. I absolutley love meeting a new round of students each year and I love becoming reacquainted with friends from past sessions.
If you have questions as you read through the class description (be sure to read both pages and listen to my audio) and review the supply list and syllabus, leave me a comment or email me firstname.lastname@example.com and put LOM QUESTION in the subject line. I will address all of your questions here, on my blog.
The MOST IMPORTANT thing you need to know is that the LOM pre-classroom is full of information. As I have reviewed the content and surveys from past years I have decided to give people the opportunity of taking full advantage of the registration period to get started on assignments that used to be part of the first lesson. If you are planning to join me in this session of Library of Memories, sign up AS SOON AS YOU CAN, because there is much to get started on.
I am fully aware that Christmas is on Friday, but … I'm also aware that the days between Christmas and New Years and into the early part of January are often perfect for starting new projects.
I want to thank you for your comments and emails following my last post. I am still sick, but we had a wonderful weekend and while I am still so sad inside I am also at peace with the situation. My kids are all home (except Clark who is snowboarding) and I love it. We've got our neighborhood cookie party tonight. I'm working for a couple of hours today and then headed upstairs to make cookies.
Life is good.

The birth of the spy satellite
When the first American spy satellite failed in January of 1959, no one knew exactly what happened. There hadn't been a pilot on board, so engineers had nothing but telemetry to use to try and fix the problem. And the pressure was on. The missile gap between the United States and Soviet Union was thought to be increasing, and the American government was keen to see for itself just what was going on on Russian soil. This had been the goal of the failed satellite: it was meant to be the first orbital photoreconnaissance mission in the Corona program.
Orbital Reconnaissance
America's first aerial spy program was the U-2 airplane. Conceived by Lockheed Martin in the early 1950s and introduced in 1956, the U-2 could cruise at 70,000 feet and take pictures of enemy nations safely (it was thought) out of range of any anti-aircraft missile systems. The first U-2 flight over the Soviet Union was on July 4, 1956, and the aircraft was spotted right away. The Americans had lost the element of surprise in aerial reconnaissance. So while the U-2 returned a wealth of valuable information, the Americans were keen to develop a successor to the high flying airplane that would be harder to track and truly impervious to ground or air-based missiles. The space age presented the perfect solution.
Right around the time the U-2 made its first flight, the US Air Force began researching the possibility of a satellite-based reconnaissance system. It already had a rocket: the Atlas intercontinental ballistic missile was at that point under development as a high priority, and if it could launch a mid-sized warhead across an ocean, it could launch a small satellite into orbit. Investigating the concept fell to the Ballistic Mission Division of the Air Force's Air Research and Development Command.
The spy satellite program gradually took shape, and was formally approved in July as project WS-117L. It was to be a three-phase program: phase 1 would be a series of test launches on Thor missiles; phase 2 would focus on Atlas-boosted test launches; and phase 3 would be the operation phase. Slated to begin sometime in 1960, the operational phase was similarly divided into stages marked by increasingly sophisticated reconnaissance systems.
In the interest of speed, and spurred in part by the U-2 situation, the military sought to fast-track a photoreconnaissance program. The photographic aspect of the WS-117L system was separated and developed on its own as an interim system. This new program was called Corona, and it was run jointly by the Air Force, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of the Department of Defense. It was the same managerial arrangement that had yielded the U-2.
A reconstructed camera of the kind launched on Corona missions in the late 1960s.
Developing the Mission
The Corona mission was intended to be simple. A spacecraft would launch on a two-stage rocket (a Thor for the first stage and an Agena for the second) on a polar trajectory from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. Once in orbit, the Agena would flip 180 degrees to put the spacecraft in a rear-facing orientation. The orbiting, unpressurized satellite would stabilized around its three axes with respect to the Earth, keeping the camera pointed towards the same spot on the ground as it took pictures. The resolution of returned images was expected to be poor, but it would at least show the American government a previously unseen area of the Soviet Union.
Recovering the pictures was a much more difficult matter. Sending the information to Earth via radio signals wasn't sufficiently secure; if the Soviets interrupted a transmission, it would negate the reconnaissance gains. It was safest to recover the film manually, in a special recovery canister, as it fell from orbit.
The recovery canister, with the film sealed up inside, would be jettisoned from the Agena over the ocean. A heat shield would keep it safe during the first stages of reentry, and then a main parachute would deploy, slowing the canister for the most difficult part of the mission: an airplane flying over the canister would snag the parachute shrouds with a trapeze-like hook. From there, the canister could be pulled on board and flown to a secure location where the film would be developed and read.
If the mid-air recovery failed, the canister would float long enough for an attempted helicopter recovery. Then it would sink into the ocean to avoid falling into enemy hands.
Testing showed that this recovery method was, at best, difficult. Just 49 of 74 test canisters were recovered when they were slowed with a larger, personnel-type parachute, and only four of 15 canisters were recovered when an operational parachute was used. Modifications finally delivered a parachute that could slow a recovery canister's fall enough for an airplane to have five chances to snag it from mid-air, making multiple passes if necessary.
A Discoverer satellite, snagged in mid-air.
The Cover Story
The Corona program was never formally approved in writing, save for a note scrawled by President Eisenhower to General Cabell, Deputy Directory of Central Intelligence, on the back on an envelope. The contract and work order for Corona's construction were delivered to Lockheed on April 25, 1958. The contractor began designing the satellite's systems on the 28th, and had a complete mockup finished on May 14. To keep things moving, the design was frozen on July 26.
Progress was swift throughout 1958, but Corona wasn't without its setbacks. Costs steadily increased, forcing program managers to appeal to the President directly for more money. There was also the issue of devising and planting a believable cover story, since no one involved in Corona was under any illusions that the launches would go unnoticed by the rest of the world.
The program's fake details were presented in a press release issued on December 3, 1958. It explained that the early launches would be simple tests of a launch vehicle, while later launches would carry small probes into space to return data on the unknown environment. It also mentioned biological launches, like mice and primates, that would return important data for manned missions. ARPA's involvement was explained by the agency's need to develop a radiometric payload package to study navigation of space vehicles and test early warning systems. Interestingly, ARPA did develop such a system, though it was never part of Corona's real plan.
Trying to Take Flight
The first Corona payloads were the Discoverer series of satellites, and the first launch attempt came on January 21, 1959. It was a test flight of the Thor-Agena launch vehicle, and it failed disastrously. An hour before launch, controllers applied power to the Agena stage. It inexplicably sprang to life and started going through its orbital activities while still on the launch pad. Explosive bolts detonated and small maneuvering rockets fired. The Agena fell straight down and settled into the faring on top of the Thor stage. The vehicle didn't fall over, but it was badly damaged.
Controllers were able to find and fix the problem, but not before finding more deficiencies. This was the way of things for Corona's first year. Between April 1959 and June 1960, the program failed over and over. Three satellites failed to reach orbit while two entered into highly eccentric orbits. One recovery canister ejected from its orbital carrier far too early. In one instance, retrorockets malfunctioned, and one spacecraft was lost when it experienced damagingly low temperatures. There were also issues with the spin-stability system: designed to control the canister during reentry, the gas had a tendency to explode. Twice the onboard camera sprang to life but only worked briefly before failing, and one camera failed entirely. Those cameras that did work were plagued by film problems, as the acetate-based film had a tendency to tear in the vacuum of its capsule, jamming the camera's mechanisms.
The recovery profile for a KH (Key Hole) spy satellite mission, a class that flew after Discoverer.
Engineers found fixes for all the problems that dogged the Corona Discoverer mission; they introducing a cold gas into the stability system and changing the acetate film for a polyester-based type. Pushing them inexorably forward was the overwhelming need for intelligence at the time. By 1960, the United States knew that the Soviets had missiles that could reach targets 5,000 miles away. The "missile gap" was fast becoming a very real concern.
In August of 1960, Corona found success with the Discoverer XII mission. It was a diagnostic flight without a camera on board, and though it landed some 250 miles away from its planned target, it was generally a success. All the fixes developed over the previous year had worked. The next mission, Discoverer XIII, launched on August 10 and was another success. Recovered from the ocean rather than grappled in mid-air, it was the first time a payload was recovered from orbit.
The first true success came a week later with Discoverer XIV on August 18, 1960. The camera sprung to life and exposed its full 20 pound load of film before transferring it into the recovery canister. The canister was ejected perfectly during the 17th orbit, and it fell to Earth right over its planned recovery zone. Captain Harold E. Mitchell of the 6593rd Test Squadron flying a C-119 snagged the canister's parachute with his hook as it fell. The film was flown directly to a secure location where it was developed and studied.
The resolution of these pictures was lower than what the CIA could get from U-2 flights. The images were also damaged. Fittingly, an electrostatic discharge known as a corona had left density bars running across all the images. But they were valuable nonetheless, showing American leaders previously unseen details of the Soviet Union.

In the End
Corona was never expected to be a long-term program; it was always intended as a short term, high risk developmental program to meet the immediate need of photo reconnaissance. There was also the obvious drawback that orbital photography is much more limited in range than reconnaissance gathered with a piloted vehicle. The last Discoverer satellite, Discoverer XXXVIII, launched on April 18, 1962. But the Corona program continued with a variety of different reconnaissance payloads.
The Corona program was a milestone in US history. Those who developed the film-return photoreconnaissance satellite met and overcame a host technological challenges early in the space age and set the standards for all similar missions that followed: both physical recovery of film and spin stabilized reentry have been used on photoreconnaissance missions since.
The 145th and final Corona mission launched on May 25, 1972 and the final recovery came six days later on May 31, 1972. Over the course of its lifetime, Corona provided photographic coverage of about 750 million square miles of the Earth's surface. These missions returned a significant amount of intelligence, including the truth about the missile gap, which was that there wasn't a gap at all. Without these insights, it's possible the United States might have unwittingly entered into a Third World War.

With most Knicks fans down in the dumps, TOK is not only offering you a shoulder to cry on, but also attempting to brighten your spirits by reminiscing on the good times. Just like last week, we're revisiting 1999.
14 years ago to the date, the New York Knicks made NBA history by joining the 1994 Denver Nuggets as the only eight-seeds to upset a number one. The best-of-five format made pulling off the unthinkable much more feasible in those days, but a gritty Knicks squad featuring the late game heroics of Allan Houston was able to get the job done. I remember celebrating this shot with "Knicks fans" who all jumped ship when the going got tough just a few years later.
The Heat are bound to cruise to a championship this year, so if nothing else Knicks fans can find some joy in seeing Zo and company at one of their lowest moments.

Well hello, gorgeous! If you've got kids, I probably don't have to explain what "Parents Need to Eat Too" means. But I will anyway: I make food for grownups that also pleases even the earliest eaters (as in my cookbook, all the recipes here end with instructions for using what you've cooked as baby food).

Potato Skins Bar: Super Bowl Picky Eater Special

Yeah yeah yeah, my kid's picky. Cry me a river, right? I've figured out exactly one trick that entices Harry to eat what I cook: Customization.

Picky Eater Special: Individual Pot Pies
By Debbie Koenig on January 29, 2013 | 10 Responses
The picky thing, it gets worse. I suspect Harry's getting bored with his extremely limited list of acceptable foods, because lately he's balking at some of the most basic gimmes I've got. Trader Joe's yogurt and frozen meatballs: gone. Three out of four acceptable flavors of Wallaby yogurt: nixed. Plain pasta and rice: nu-uh. […]

Bahraini anti-government protesters react to tear gas fired by riot police during clashes in Daih, Bahrain, on Thursday, Feb. 14, 2013, the second anniversary of the start of a pro-democracy uprising in the Gulf island kingdom. Protests began at daybreak in opposition areas nationwide as protesters attempted to return to the well-barricaded main site of the uprising. (AP Photo/Hasan Jamali)
MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) — Security forces in Bahrain clashed on Thursday with anti-government protesters in street battles that left at least one boy dead amid high tensions on the second anniversary of the uprising in the Gulf nation, activists said.
The demonstrators also included groups chanting against talks aimed at easing the Arab Spring-inspired unrest in the country, showing the deep divisions even among opposition factions over whether to negotiate or escalate the unrest.
Bahrain's Shiite majority is seeking a greater political voice in the strategic Sunni-ruled kingdom, which is home to the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet.
More than 55 people have been killed in the two-year unrest, which began with massive marches on Feb. 14, 2011. Some activists place the death toll higher.
The latest death was a 16-year-old boy killed by police bird shot fire early Thursday in the mainly Shiite village of Dih, west of the capital, Manama, said Yousef al-Muhafedha, a rights activist. The main Shiite opposition group Al Wefaq also announced the death.
A government statement said authorities had opened an investigation into the teen's death, but there was no immediate cause of death given.
Street battles broke out before dawn in some Shiite neighborhoods, but opposition groups also have called for a nationwide strike to mark the anniversary.
Al Wefaq and other main Shiite factions opened talks with government officials and Sunni envoys last week, but some hard-line Shiite groups oppose dialogue amid fears it will not weaken the monarchy's hold on power.
Opposition groups have demanded that the ruling dynasty relinquish much of its sweeping authority over the country's affairs, including picking all key government and military posts.
Sunni leaders have made some concessions, including handing more oversight power to the elected parliament. But many Shiite protesters say that falls short of their goals for deep reforms in how Bahrain is governed.
The U.S. has supported dialogue and has stood by Bahrain's leaders so as not to jeopardize critical military ties and its relations with other Gulf Arab nations, including neighboring Saudi Arabia. But Washington has increasingly criticized tough measures by Bahraini authorities, including stripping 31 Shiites of citizenship and keeping other opposition leaders behind bars.

The Obama campaign announced today that it will run an ad featuring Caroline Kennedy in NYC, Boston, LA, SF and on national cable.
The Obama campaign announced today that it will run an ad featuring Caroline Kennedy in NYC, Boston, LA, SF and on national cable.
Ever find any news about Republican ads?
Come on TU-think outside the liberal bubble.
Come on, TUReader, have the Republicans every had an ad that talked about Inspiration? Watch – you will see the Repubs go very negative, very quickly in their ads. They have NOTHING to run on but fear, jingoism, & tribalism. Obama has a promising vision for America. Not an America of war without end, of further divide between rich & working class. I see a President Obama challenging Americans to develop Clean Energy (central to an economic revitalization, a clean environment, & a peaceful future) just as President Kennedy challenged us to put a man on the moon.
Bush said he was a uniter, but was the biggest divider we ever had. A President Obama could be a real uniter.
Nice Ad!
People need to respect Senator Obama not only for his message but for his unselfish devotion to the well being of our nation.
Senator Kennedy and Caroline Kennedy are smart to remind Americans of the tremendous impact that hope and a message of unity expounded by President Kennedy had on this world.
Almost every country in South America has a street or a building or a neighborhood named after President Kennedy.
The respect that President Kennedy drew from nations and foreigners should make all Americans proud. Senator Barack Obama will do the same.
The truth shall set us free. Its time to tell the Clintons that this nation needs to move beyond their self-serving politics.
New Majority, while I agree with some of your points, I doubt JFK would fit in with the ultra liberals in todays democratic party. We could only hope for someone like JFK in any party.
"And so, my fellow americans: ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man"… just doens't fit in with todays ultra liberal dogma.
So! The Kennedy family is still able to deliver the Massachusetts' delegation to the 2008 Democratic National Convention.
As well as all of the Massachusetts' electoral votes in November.
Shades of 1972 and George McGovern.

The Straits to play Charity
Fundraising Show at O2
Shepherd's Bush Empire
Fresh from their successful European tour, which included sold out shows in Lisbon and Paris, The Straits are pleased to announce a Charity fundraising show at legendary West London venue, O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire. This one-off event on Thursday 21st June will raise awareness for the Sarah Greene Breakthrough Tribute Fund – part of the Breakthrough Breast Cancer Appeal – with all profits donated to the charity.
The Sarah Greene Breakthrough Tribute Fund was established in 2008, in memory of Sarah who sadly lost her courageous battle with breast cancer in 2006. The fund is raising monies towards further research into the aggressive 'Triple Negative' breast cancer suffered by Sarah, which desperately requires newer forms of treatment, and endeavours to find a suitable drug to fight this particular type of cancer.
The Straits are comprised of former Dire Straits members and give fans the chance to experience the band's music live, performing classic hits; including Sultans of Swing, Romeo And Juliet, Tunnel Of Love, Private Investigations, Money For Nothing, Walk Of Life, and Brothers In Arms.
This very special evening not only gives all who attend the chance to witness a fantastic live band, but at the same time, the opportunity to make a real difference to someone's life. It promises to be a wonderful event for a really great cause.

In Texas a teenager has been caged since March and is facing a further eight years behind bars after he joked about committing violence, while in California a man is to be caged for 32 months after he grabbed a boy and "sniffed" his arm. Both cases include charges of terrorism.
Bob Brenton writes:
Thank you for bringing this case to light. I play that same game as our unfortunate texas youngster (League of Legends), and while his comment was a little over the top it is hardly unusual in that community. In fact, that game has a tribunal system for combating 'toxic' behavior and language, where you can report a player after a match. If you are a frequent offender you get judged by a jury of your peers who read over the chat logs of previous games in which the offender played. This may result in chat restrictions or temp / permanent bans from the game. The games designers use this tribunal system as a giant social experiment to remove toxicity, and help make players better (nicer) people. Contrast this with the government solution of locking up non-offending people with truly bad individuals, and you see why League of Legends actually can modify players to be better people, while prison modify people to be worse.
To be honest, without context and given that he said 'lol' and 'jk' after his comment – I probably wouldn't have reported him for tribunal review. Most people who play League of Legends aren't motivated enough to be terrorists.8:23 am on June 28, 2013 Email Travis Holte

The independent suspension at the front features a lightweight spring-strut axle with longitudinal and transverse links and cross members that have been refined for stiffness. Each front wheel is precisely located, ensuring excellent directional stability, superior handling and reduced pitching under braking, and the wide track optimises turn-in.
The rear axle is equipped with a motorsport-derived multi-link suspension and chassis subframe. Refined axle kinematics for improved longitudinal damping reduce acceleration squat and increase comfort. Lightweight spring struts further enhance agility.
The high proportion of aluminium used in the construction of the axles reduces the weight of the vehicle and of the unsprung masses, helping to improve fuel economy, comfort and agility.

Hundreds Hired by Hy-Vee
Updated: Saturday, April 19 2014, 05:15 PM CDT
With the announcement of the new Hy-Vee grocery store in Springfield came hope for new jobs. First came the construction jobs, with most of the workers from Springfield. Now there is hiring for jobs within the store once it opens.
Working together on the project, Store Director Kyle Thornsbrough and the ward's alderman, Joe McMenamin, became fast friends.
"The job market's hard out there, and I got that. We went into all the schools, the churches, recruited high school people and just anybody and everybody that we came across with a smiling face," Thornsbrough said.
He says most employees will make just above minimum wage. 550 will be part-time, and another 130 full-time.
"I was working for the school district doing noon hour supervisors. I was working two hours a day, and then all of a sudden they moved me down to one hour a day," new Hy-Vee hire Heather Singer said.
The Springfield mom of one will work full time at the store for $9.50 an hour. Singer says that after six months of looking for work, she applied online for this job and aced the in-person interview.
"Just come in there with a good, clean cut and well-dressed and a good interview and just answer the questions they ask you," Singer said, offering advice to anyone who is asked to come in for an interview.
Two things you need to know:
- Apply online and be prepared to wait once you're called. The only way to get an interview is to complete an online application at www.hyvee.com. At this point there aren't a lot of jobs left, but the job seeking is competitive because of the large number of applicants.
- You don't need a high school diploma. In fact, the company has a policy where any employee who earns a diploma or GED qualifies to earn another dollar an hour.
The store opening is planned for this spring.
