Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Jack Landsman faced a mystery worthy of the ex-cop he is. The vice-president for key accounts at Utz Quality Foods Inc., the nation's No. 3 maker of salty snacks, had arranged a pre-Super Bowl blowout at Safeway supermarkets: $4.99 barrels of party mix, cheese balls, and pork rinds displayed just inside the door of 127 stores near Baltimore and Washington. In a town painted Ravens purple, it was a guaranteed hit. But on Jan. 18, three days into the promotion, Landsman had a problem. Daily figures for three Safeways in Columbia, Md., showed that two of them had sold 25 and 40 barrels of cheese balls, respectively. But the third store showed a string of zeroes. No cheese balls. No pork rinds. Just an incomplete pass.
Landsman solved the mystery of Store No. 1370 with a tool he didn't have while walking a West Baltimore beat: the Internet. Store No. 1370, and about 10 others, had no barrels: Landsman hadn't ordered enough. As simple as the problem was, Landsman wouldn't have spotted it until after the Ravens' victory parade if not for the UtzFocus sales-tracking system, installed in 1999. With UtzFocus, all he had to do was use his Web browser to check overnight sales reports stored on a server. After that, he called a supervisor to find out why his drivers hadn't made the delivery. "We're kicking butt for a reason," says CEO Michael W. Rice's son-in-law, Dylan Lissette, 29, the company's marketing manager. "We know what's going on in the stores."
The lesson of Utz is simple: A company need not be a giant to get a giant boost from the Internet. Spending about $30,000 on software to create UtzFocus, and hiring one new person to run it, has made Utz a savvier chipmaker. The $200 million family-owned company is gaining share in segments dominated by Frito-Lay, whose North American sales of $12.7 billion command a market share of 59%--and rising. Utz's 12% jump in sales to supermarkets and convenience stores last year was about three times the industry's growth--and 1 1/2 times Utz's own growth in the late 1990s. Chief Operating Officer Rick King says half of the acceleration in Utz's 2000 growth, or about $2 million in sales, is due to the Net.
For years, Utz executives confess, a culture so cost-conscious that even the executive suite has linoleum floors forced them to put off investing in technology. Instead, they tried to keep up with Frito by buying new fryers and faster packaging machines. Rice didn't have a computer until 1996, and secretaries made do with typewriters whose sole concession to the New Economy was screens that displayed a sentence of text at a time to fix mistakes. Rice, 57, is the grandson of Bill and Salie Utz, who founded the company after Bill quit a job at Hanover Shoe Co. in 1921. But the company's real info-tech apostle is Lissette. "We're a Pennsylvania German-Dutch company where there are certain things we've always done," Lissette says. "And there's a fear of technology, until you find someone who will shepherd it."
In Utz's case, new technology is about taking information the company already had and letting more people use it easily. Since 1982, the 500 driver-salesmen who deliver Utz's snacks to stores have used handheld computers to upload daily sales data to headquarters. But the only department that used the information on a daily basis was accounts receivable. Sales got sketchy reports weekly but received detailed data only once a month. What did people know in between? "Not a lot," Rice confesses.
Lissette and Vice-President for Sales and Marketing Tom Dempsey convinced a mostly fiftysomething management team that better, faster business information was as essential as making cheaper chips. The duo insisted they needed to create UtzFocus to give daily sales breakdowns, product by product and store by store. They needed reports that were easy for computer-fearing sales people to fetch from a database with a Web browser and easy for executives to tailor for client presentations. And they needed the reports by 2 a.m., in time to let warehouse supervisors fix problems with drivers who arrive as early as 3:30 each morning.
Now, from North Carolina to Massachusetts, the drivers who deliver Utz's chips and pretzels are being more closely watched. As a result, missed deliveries can be corrected, and laggard stores can be targeted for special attention. Smart promotions can be repeated, while losers are quickly winnowed. And poor coordination between sales and production can be tracked down and fixed in a flash--as Landsman did with Store No. 1370.
As Utz executives rarely tire of saying, theirs is a pretty simple business. They make a small number of products--potato chips alone account for almost 65% of revenue--and they have only a few major tactics to goose sales. There are supermarket circular advertisements, on which Utz spends 4% to 6% of sales. And there are "endcaps," the industry term for big displays at the end of a supermarket aisle that draw impulse buyers. It can cost nearly $10,000 to rent endcaps throughout a grocery chain for a week. And when Utz has the endcap at a chain such as Safeway or Giant, the leaders in its core Washington-Baltimore market, sales in each store can rise by as much as 40%.
Making sure that this happens is the job of UtzFocus. The system gives the managers a tool to ride herd on Utz's drivers, whose execution of sales promotions is vital to company strategy. "When something isn't working, it's usually not the store. It's usually our person," Lissette says. "A lot of times, it's: `I didn't know a Safeway promotion was going on.' Or: `I didn't have any on my truck."'
The difference is felt all the way to the bottom of Utz's organizational chart. Employees like Gene Alvarez, a Pine Brook (N.J.) supervisor who fills in on routes when his charges are out, says the Net system generates more questions than ever from management about why sales in specific stores aren't better, and about how drivers are doing their jobs. "I don't like computers," he jokes. "Too incriminating." On the bright side, the drivers' pay is a 10% commission on sales, so they have a stake in the system's success.
Even though the system's original function was to keep closer tabs on the drivers' day-to-day execution, Utz quickly found other ways for technology to help them. Since competition for space in store circulars and endcaps is keen, quick sales data help execs adjust. If Utz can't get a chain to advertise a special on its flagship product--the 5.5-ounce bag of chips--the data let managers craft counterproposals to promote pretzels in weeks when Frito-Lay commands the potato-chip spotlight.
Or Utz can take a more innovative approach. The snack food company, like its competitors, is trying to persuade supermarket chains to give it space in circulars for a percentage of the sales a promotion produces--rather than a flat fee of up to $10,000 a week. That helps Utz cut the risk it takes in choosing sales tactics and helps keep spending on circulars close to 4% of sales. The key: UtzFocus lets sales executives generate data to persuade supermarkets they'll make more money sharing risk with Utz than by taking the up-front fee. Acme Markets is testing risk-sharing promotions now.
With sales info getting better, now Utz is trying to improve its command of production data. Since the mid-1990s, Utz has been buying machines equipped with monitoring capabilities to slice, cook, spice, and bag potatoes. The company is getting ready to hook it all up to its in-house intranet. The new system will zap a report to managers every minute--compared with the previous once or twice in a 12-hour shift--giving them details such as how many chips the main factory's seven lines are making, the usage of potatoes and flour, and even how close the chip-slicing machines are coming to the ideal thickness of 0.057 of an inch.
One big goal of automating the factory: to trim costs from excessive inventory of plastic bags. Utz spends 5% of sales on bags alone. Tying production more closely to UtzFocus data will let the company keep down inventories of bags that can reach several months' supply. Since finished chips rarely stay in Utz plants more than a day, inventory gaps like that stand out like cheese powder on a white shirt.
Even a smarter Utz won't dominate like the Ravens' defense while Frito-Lay is around, but Web-savvy management gives this underdog better odds. And you need not be a detective to figure that out. By Timothy J. Mullaney

Butch's Bore Shine™ Bore Cleaner
Developed by Charles L. "Butch" Fisher (1947- 2007), one of our country's best and most well known Bench Rest Shooters, this non-abrasive chemical solvent removes all forms of bore fouling - including copper - with a minimum of effort and no damage. Quickly removes carbon build-up in difficult to clean areas like the chamber throat. Removes lead, wax, and plastic shotgun wad buildup.
Butch's Bore Shine™ Bore Cleaner 3 3
Pretty Good Put two scent holders up early morning. About 15 minutes later a 6 point and a 4 point came looking for a rumble. Watched them dual for 20 minutes. Will let you know when the 13 point beast comes looking. October 21, 2013
Good product I have been using this for several years. I like the way it cleans the bore and other places that brass and copper fowling appear. To be truthful I finish up with a swabing of #9. I am just stuck in my old ways I guess and the familiar smell of #9. I have watched my father clean his gun after a hunt since before I was old enough to hunt. He used Hoppe's #9 then and I am 75. October 16, 2013
Great bore cleaner. I recently bought a new bolt action rifle in .22 WMR, and picked up some of Butch's Bore Shine as well. I spent the day breaking-in the barrel this weekend, and this product works really well at removing both powder residue & copper fouling. Not only does it make cleaning to bore fast and easy, but when I got home & did the final cleaning, the bore looked like the rifle was never fired. Great product, I reccommend it and will continue using it. January 13, 2013

St. Joseph's Hospital Offers Resources for Cancer Patients

St. Joseph's Hospital Offers Resources for Cancer Patients
TAMPA, Fla. (Dec. 10, 2013) – According to the American Cancer Society, more than one million people in the U.S. are diagnosed with cancer each year. "Usually a patient's first thought is, 'Am I going to die?'" said Ronda Buffington, community outreach resources coordinator, at St. Joseph's Hospital's Cancer Institute. After the initial shock wears off, a patient's concerns turn to more pragmatic issues, such as, "Will my insurance pay for this?" "How will I get to my appointments?" "Where do I get a wig?"
To help patients navigate through the health care system, St. Joseph's Hospital created a 20-person navigation team and a program entitled, "Cancer Orientation: Resources and Financial Information to Assist You." The next session takes place Feb. 11, 6 p.m., at St. Joseph's Hospital Medical Arts Building. Each program session is offered in English and Spanish, concurrently. "There's no way one or two navigators can take care of the large population of cancer patients," Buffington explained. "By having a multi-disciplinary team, we don't have to pass people off to someone else when they have questions." Each member of the team is co-educated so that they have knowledge of the resources available. "A patient may come to us through our Radiation Therapy Center or our Infusion Center, or even from another hospital or physician. Each member of the team has a master resource list for reference."
Topics covered in "Cancer Orientation: Resources and Financial Information to Assist You," include:• Cancer treatments (surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy) • Managing employment, insurance and financial worries • Communication with the medical team, family and children • Managing side effects • Nutrition issues • Coping and psychosocial matters • Handling daily living concerns.
The class is free and is open to all cancer patients and their families. Patients can have any cancer diagnosis and be from any hospital or physician office. "The class will empower patients with information and resources they need to assist them on their cancer journey and help them navigate the health care system," Buffington said. The class runs for two hours. To register or receive more information, call (813) 443-3078 or go to BayCareEvents.com.About St. Joseph's Hospital Founded as a mission by the Franciscan Sisters of Allegany, St. Joseph's Hospital has served the health care needs of Tampa since 1934 and today is the largest not-for-profit health care provider in Hillsborough County.

International Museum of Women Presents Land of the Unconquerable: The Lives of Contemporary Afghan Women
The International Museum of Women and the Global Fund for Women are pleased to present an event to mark the publication of Land of the Unconquerable: The Lives of Contemporary Afghan Women, featuring co-editor Ashraf Zahedi and contributor Amina Kator.
Reaching beyond sensational headlines, Land of the Unconquerable: The Lives of Contemporary Afghan Women offers a three-dimensional portrait of Afghan women. In a series of wide-ranging, deeply reflective essays, accomplished scholars, humanitarian workers, politicians, and journalists-most with extensive experience inside Afghanistan-examine the realities of life for women in both urban and rural settings. Eschewing stereotypes about the burqa, the contributors focus instead on women's empowerment and agency and on their struggles for peace and justice in the face of a brutal ongoing war.
Event details: Wednesday, July 27. Check-in and wine reception begins at 5:30 p.m., program begins at 6:00 p.m., followed by book sale and signing, supported by Book Passage. Russ Building, 235 Montgomery Street, 12th Floor, San Francisco. Tickets are $5 for members, $10 for non-members.
Ashraf Zahedi is a sociologist and scholar at the University of California, Berkeley and is a former IMOW board member. Amina Kator is a recent graduate of the University of California, Berkeley and has authored the essay, "Hopes and Dreams: Interviews with Young Afghans" included in Land of the Unconquerable. Ashraf coedited the book with Jennifer Heath and contributed an essay entitled, "When the Picture Does not Fit the Frame: Engaging Afghan Men in Women's Empowerment."

PETA's Thirteenth Amendment lawsuit risks trivializing both slavery and the question of animal rights
Some might think this photo depicts a slave laboring as its master watches on (milan.boers/Flickr)
"When the Founding Fathers created the Constitution of the United States," thunders Marina Sirtis in a remarkably strange recent movie, "it was to protect the rights of human beings, not octopi."
The movie is InAlienable, produced and sent direct-to-video in 2008. The film portrays a research scientist (Richard Hatch) who (never mind how) manages to give birth to a human-alien hybrid creature. The alien baby is immediately seized by government agents and hustled off to durance vile. This being America, Hatch retains counsel and sues for a writ of habeas corpus, setting off the courtroom confrontation between his whimsical lawyer (Erick Avari) and the "deputy attorney general" played by Sirtis. (For those scoring at home, Sirtis was Counselor Troi, the beguiling Betazoid therapist in Star Trek: The Next Generation; InAlienable also features cameos by Walter Koenig -- Mr. Chekhov in the original Star Trek -- and Tim Russ --Tuvok in Star Trek: Voyager. For Con Law trivia fans, the film also grants a speaking part to Randy Barnett, star Georgetown Law professor and currently a member of the team challenging the Affordable Care Act.)
"PETA is good at grabbing headlines, but often offers people a chance to deflect its genuine concerns by expressing them in gimmicky and distasteful ways"
We never get a ruling in the case, I suspect because Koenig, who also wrote the screenplay, couldn't figure out how to resolve things. But at film's end, Hatch is morosely back at his previous scientific labors -- infecting laboratory monkeys with HIV. Remarkably, no one in the film seems to notice the irony.
InAlienable came to mind when I read that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals had filed a lawsuit in federal District Court charging that Sea World Parks & Entertainment had violated the Constitution by holding orcas (killer whales) as performers in their Florida and California theme parks.
This captivity, PETA charges, violates the Thirteenth Amendment, which states that "[n]either slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
Reaction to the lawsuits has mixed ridicule with outrage. "PETA's comparison of SeaWorld and slavery insults the remains of hundreds of thousands of slaves who are buried across the American South," said Deroy Murdock, a syndicated columnist and chair of the Project 21 black leadership network sponsored by the venerable National Center for Public Policy research. Elie Mystal, writing in Above the Law, began with outrage:
Animals are not people. If a PETA person had been sitting next to me when I wrote that, he'd smugly say: "You know, some people said the same thing about black people 200 years ago." At that point, I would grab the PETA person by the neck with my left hand, pimp slap him across his face with my right hand, throw him down on the ground, and then bellow: "How dare you, sir!"
She then segued to ridicule -- "'Cause, let's be honest here, you know what an orca would like to be "free" to do to his PETA lawyer Jeffrey Kerr? Eat him. His clients would like to make a Jeffrey Kerr freaking sandwich." (Orcas in packs, by the way, have been known to hunt and kill great whales to eat their tasty tongues, but they have never been known to eat humans, with or without rye bread and a pickle.)
I'm not sure either reaction is quite right. The PETA lawsuit raises no viable legal issues at all--PETA's counsel will be lucky if the federal judge says "Throw that man a fish!" before dismissing the case. But the task of understanding the Thirteenth Amendment is part of our unfinished business as a society; so, too, is the question of human responsibility toward our fellow creatures. They are both important questions, and quite distinct. Blurring them isn't going to move us forward in any way.
Start with the amendment. In many ways, it's the most radical and humane provision ever written into our fundamental law. Most of the Constitution is focused on what government can and can't do. Congress may appropriate funds and the executive can spend them; Congress and the president can't ban freedom of speech. Beyond the Constitution's reach is a vast realm of private dealings between citizens. But under the Thirteenth Amendment, slavery and involuntary servitude "shall not exist." When one citizen holds another in slavery, whether by law or not, the slavemaster is directly violating the Constitution; and government has both the duty and (under Sec. 2 of the Amendment) the power to halt this private crime.
"Animals can't be 'equal' to human beings, not because humans are 'speciesist' but because the very idea of equality is meaningless in that context"
That to me is the problem with attacking PETA for "insulting" the memory of enslaved African Americans. The Thirteenth Amendment was inspired by their suffering, but it's not about memory. "Shall not exist" is forward looking; to confine its command to history understates our responsibility today. The fight against enslavement and involuntary servitude is far from won. Serious people are trying to apply the Thirteenth Amendment to contemporary problems like human trafficking, exploitation of children, and migrant farm labor. If the Thirteenth Amendment is only about American chattel slavery, then defenders of the status quo can dismiss and ridicule those arguments.

The six pieces are made from the highest quality materials, with two tracksuits – a lighter one and a heavier one from winter – a 12oz canvas sport duffle, and a hand-stitched soccer ball made from full grain leather that comes with a ball bag and pump.

Item of General Interest
I added three items to the Presentations/ Podcast page:
1. A link to a write-up and interview on Nov. 12 on NewsMax TV with Ed Berliner regarding the US-China Climate Accord.
2. A video discussion that I participated in on November 9 on Low Oil Prices with Doomstead Diner folks, plus Ugo Bardi, and Steve Ludlum (aka "Steve from Virginia").
3. A PDF version of my presentation at the UNED Conference in Barbastro, Spain on October 10. It was called, "Energy and the Economy: Twelve Basic Principles in a Finite World."

(CBS/AP) YORBA LINDA, Calif. - Another moderate earthquake has shaken a wide area of Southern California.
The U.S. Geological Survey says the 9:33 a.m. Wednesday quake was centered two miles northeast of the Orange County city of Yorba Linda.
The quake was initially measured at magnitude-4.5 but seismologists have since lowered the magnitude to 4.1.
There had been no immediate reports of damage or injuries, according to CBS Los Angeles.
A magnitude 4.4 quake centered in the same area struck late Tuesday night. No damage was reported.
"They're definitely a related sequence," Lucy Jones of Caltech told KNX 1070 NEWSRADIO. "Five percent of the time you get something bigger, here we hit it exactly on the same."
Yorba Linda is about 35 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles.

This iReport is part of an assignment:
Pint-size entrepreneurs
ebay helps the little sellers NOT!
Webmasters create a program: (nasty little guys and gals)
1. Program opens the door to giant businesses to join ebay.
2. Gives them the run of the show
3. Provides them with best advertising "TO" their store (of course because they can afford it and they have the most expensive product, which attracts big pocket customers).
4. Web "misers" give the new "global community" a way to master and take over.
5. Smaller, individually owned stores look like a bleep in the universe and can barely be seen, redirected there, or be advertised.
6. In addition, the webmasters set the program up, where these giants can cheat till hell freezes over. They can just come into your store, without asking, and advertise "their store items" in so called "collections" in big bold pictures, right under your listing in "your store"! Wow, that takes guts and total disregard for that person's store!
7. ALSO, WITHOUT PAYING YOU A CENT. Advertising on ebay from other companies use to cost them money. You know, the ones that are always there. It's ok, they pay for it. And really, are not intrusive.
8. BUT now, they don't have to ask or pay, they just "DO".
9. Now, let's say you would like to opt out of this free intrusion. IMPOSSIBLE. It's set in stone. In addition, if you are even remotely successful at getting rid of that, or part of it, you are punished by becoming invisible to the public.
I've been buying on ebay for 3 years, and selling for 2 years. I have slowly, with a lot of hard work gained customers and grown to best seller status. Whooopeeee dooo! It means nothing. It only means that any customer can leave a bad feedback because they were in a bad mood or just unreasonable, unfounded complaint, or just plain nutty and you can get your store suspended before trial, or investigation. Just like that. They will take the word of the customer first, instead of the seller who might have been there for as long as 15 years, who should be treated with a little more benefit of the doubt. Ask the seller for an explanation first? Honestly? Is there no more humanity left?
I think that the internet has grown so much, that it's frying people's brains, looking at humans merely as numbers, dollars, members, followers etc. Not someone who is a living being trying to make a living every day.
So, a seller leaves ebay, whoopee, who cares, we got better ones! Pretty much, that is the attitude growing each day among business community such as ebay.
I will bet 99% of the management has never been a seller for an extended amount of time in anything. However, they love to tell us sellers, who've been selling and buying for years, what's good for us.
They're twisting the words to convince you that the change is for your benefit, but what they really mean is "we're making this change because it's good for EBAY, NOT YOU". We're not improving anything to help you, only to help us. That's the silence between the lines you don't hear.
Now, honestly, anyone has a right to join ebay, big or small, but why kill us? We came to ebay to provide for ourselves and our family, we're not making millions a year, why punish us for that?
I'm soo soo tired. My selling has been pretty steady and growing. However, since a few weeks, when this new change started, I have sold maybe 3 items. I know what the management will tell me. Well, you know there's down times in sales, etc…..as if I was an idiot and didn't know that. The two empty weeks, with no existence of any customers showing up, is not one of those "down times in sales".
I don't know what to do? Anyone can help, suggest, just put me out of my misery? Anyone?
This is one of the listings under mine. I do not own this item nor am I selling it. In fact, I wouldn't buy it for 99cents let alone that price.

In addition guess who is joining in this global expansion? Goodwill. I thought their motto was to create jobs, not take free donated items and sell them on ebay.
If people don't get tired of being used and thrown away like trash, and do something about it, they will take it all. Let me just say, Mr. Donahoe's life is not more worthy than mine. If I was in his place, I would do everything possible to help the ones that are struggling not the ones that are already million dollar corporations. This is turning into a vicious mean spirited world.

It's that time again, "back to school" time! Parents and children are gearing up for another exciting year with mixed emotions. Some of you may be excited and others may be nervous, but one thing is certain, TRICARE has you covered. From back to school physicals, immunizations and dental care, make sure you take the time now to get health-ready for school.
It's a good idea to get a physical and immunizations completed before school starts. Most schools require that your child's immunizations are up-to-date. Be sure to check with your school districts rules and requirements.
TRICARE covers school physicals for children age 5-11 and age-appropriate doses of vaccines as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). You can get required vaccines from any TRICARE-authorized provider and many are also available at participating retail network pharmacies. >>Learn More
In addition to school physicals and immunizations, it's a good idea to get eye exams and dental check ups before school begins. Children of active duty service members are eligible for annual eye exams. TRICARE Prime-enrolled children of retired service members are eligible for comprehensive eye exams every two years. >>Learn More
TRICARE offers dental coverage through two plans for children, the TRICARE Dental Program and the TRICARE Retiree Dental Program. If enrolled, schedule an appointment for a check-up and cleaning before school starts. If not enrolled, you can enroll your children at any time.
Some children are excited to get back to school with their friends, but for others, it could be overwhelming. Many children may be nervous or scared about meeting new friends and teachers. Others may be heading to a new school because they are entering a new grade or because they have moved. It's important to watch for signs to make sure kids are adjusting. Usually, these feelings subside quickly as kids get involved in school, but remember that TRICARE covers mental health services for kids and families who may need some extra help adjusting. >>Learn More
Parents can help children make healthy choices each day:
For older children who are going to college, there are new decisions to make. Children are eligible for regular TRICARE benefits while enrolled in college until their 23rd birthday or until they graduate, whichever comes first. After that, children may qualify to purchase TRICARE Young Adult. Your child's 'student status' must be entered in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) to remain eligible past age 21. Check with DEERS to see what information is needed.
Health care options for college students depend on where their school is located. >>Learn More

Guess I should clarify. He's great in contrast to todays' players, I meant all time great.

Posted by ReauxlTide222 on 2/13 at 10:11 am to dukke vLBJ is so efficient it's mind blowing. When you can get your 30 in 7-10 less shots than any other player your team is going to really shine. Kobe has proven that he can't get his points AND be a good teammate. LBJ makes it look very easy.

Posted by GeauxWarrior12 on 2/13 at 12:35 pm to WITNESS23Huge LBJ fan here but MJ is still the best ever. One thing that gets overlooked about both of these players is their defense. We are talking about maybe the best 2 perimeter defenders of all time.

Posted by EyeoftheEldrick12 on 2/13 at 4:24 pm to JohnnyKilroyDude all the best players of their time eventually went with the bald look. Think of Michael and Kobe, and it seems like that just another thing haters have against Lebron. Who gives a fuq about a persons hair when he is dominating the entire sport. No one could stop him if he was bald or even if he had dreads like Lil Wayne. He's the best end of story.

Posted by tigerbait4444 on 2/13 at 5:12 pm to EyeoftheEldrick12Tough to compare eras. Lbj is the best athlete the league has ever seen. He cost himself quite a bit by waiting 8 seasons to find himself as a Player. He should have been in the post years ago. Too many jumpers cost him multiple rings early on IMO. Gonna come down to his ability to recreate himself once his speed is gone. I'd say he ends up top 5, with his haters saying he didn't win 5 rings so he's no Kobe or mj. His lovers will disregard and put him tops. I hate that none of his coaches had him on the block earlier. That will prolong his career, ala mj.

Lebron has the clear advantage in assists and rebounding and is a slightly three point shooter and defender. Jordan has the edge in every other category. The WS/48 stat shows that Jordan had a bigger positive impact on the game. Jordan's offensive advantage over Lebron is much larger advantage than Lebron's defensive advantage over him. At the end of the day, that's what ultimately makes Jordan a better player than Lebron.

Will This Downgrade Hurt BOK Financial (BOKF) Stock Today?
NEW YORK (TheStreet) --BOK Financial Corp. (BOKF) was downgraded to "underperform" from "market perform" at BMO Capital Tuesday because the firm believes the bank will encounter near-term earnings pressure.
Currently, BMO has a $61.00 price target on the stock, which points to a potential downside of 12.12% from the financial holding company's current price.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 10 Favorite Growth Stocks
STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more.TheStreet Ratings team rates BOK FINANCIAL CORP as a Buy with a ratings score of B+. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate BOK FINANCIAL CORP (BOKF) a BUY. This is driven by a number of strengths, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its expanding profit margins, good cash flow from operations and increase in stock price during the past year. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had somewhat weak growth in earnings per share." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:
- The gross profit margin for BOK FINANCIAL CORP is currently very high, coming in at 98.34%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 22.10% significantly outperformed against the industry average.
- Net operating cash flow has increased to $167.36 million or 16.86% when compared to the same quarter last year. Despite an increase in cash flow of 16.86%, BOK FINANCIAL CORP is still growing at a significantly lower rate than the industry average of 409.51%.
- Regardless of the drop in revenue, the company managed to outperform against the industry average of 12.1%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 7.5%. Weakness in the company's revenue seems to have hurt the bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- Compared to where it was 12 months ago, the stock is up, but it has so far lagged the appreciation in the S&P 500. The stock's price rise over the last year has driven it to a level which is somewhat expensive compared to the rest of its industry. We feel, however, that other strengths this company displays justify these higher price levels.
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Commercial Banks industry and the overall market on the basis of return on equity, BOK FINANCIAL CORP has outperformed in comparison with the industry average, but has underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500.

It begins with Me!
This week marks a turning point in my life. I have decided to embark on a journey of self-discovery, and along the way hope that i can make a positive difference not only in my life but also in the lives of those around me and my sphere of influence. I have read the various journals posted and i was inspired by the women in this group, especially the journal of Blossoming Cactus by jmaruru.
Im normally so afraid of sharing my deepest thoughts but here goes;
This past week has been a week of deep reflection for me. I feel like I am at a turning point in my life and needed to have a serious evaluation of where it is I am headed in life. I am trying to understand my own values because if I don't define and understand it, there is a 100% chance that nobody else will either.
Up to this point all I have had to think about is completing my immediate short term goals, which I am and continuously do but as I told my better half the other day I have been running a marathon, I have not really had time to take stock of what I want to do with my life or where it is I am headed. While I have an idea, I cannot tell you for sure how I hope to attain it, or how to get there. So for me, this reflection was deeply needed.
We live in a society in which if you do not watch out, you end up running a rat race and 20 years down the line, you wonder how in the world did I end up here and asking yourself what exactly have I accomplished?
One of the things that kept ringing in my head this week and just seemed to get on my last nerve was that everywhere I seemed to turn, someone would be trying to put me in a box, or would be trying to label me or define me. I guess it did not just happen this week but ultimately its happened since I could remember, and I think is just part of our society. It seems that when we meet new people, we have to immediately identify what groups or philosophies we associate ourselves with and once we receive a label, people expect us to act like whatever the particular label implies.
Well I guess the alternative to being defined is to define which is what I sought to do this week. I started thinking when was the last time I made a decision, completely on my own? I know ME better then anyone else. I understand my likes, dislikes and know what makes me tick.
I have not just began this journey to self discovery, but I have had a very limited amount of time to sit back and take in where it is I am now in my life and where it is I want to go and along the way I have discovered this society is constantly trying to define who I am and spell out for me what they think i will never be able to accomplish. Well, I have decided to ignore each and every person who tries to do this anymore. Instead I am learning to listen to my own heart. It will be hard, but I believe it is truly the key to pursuing my dreams. Actually my worry in life is not finding that next great job, but about finding my passion. There are many paths to success and defining success on my own terms is one of my goals and is far more important than how much money I end up making.
So I drew this conclusion no matter what my situation is, being ME is most important. That is, I do not want to be that individual that allows friends, family, co-workers to define and dictate who I am. And when others do try and tell me what I can or cannot accomplish, I will try and remember that my ability to make things happen has nothing to do with anyone else's opinion of what I am capable or incapable of doing.
I don't ever want to become someone else's brand. I want to be my own brand, The Brand Called ME. I am therefore celebrating the fact that I am not like everyone else. I am special! I am unique! I am the product of 23 chromosomes from my father and 23 from my mother. Scientists say there is only one chance in 10/2,000,000,000 of my parents having another child like me. The combination of attributes that I have cannot be duplicated. The need to explore and develop my uniqueness is a matter of high priority that I am and will continue to work on.
Most important of all, my worth is not found in being different or the same as others, it is found in God. Who am I? I am precious, created in my mother's womb by God's own hand. I am not an accident. I am valuable, I have worth, I am gifted, I am talented and I have purpose.
Celebrate your unique beauty and know that we all celebrate all the wonderful things that make you, you!
Boxes, indeed!
Dear Tumaini,
yes, the world does seem to constantly categorize and put people in boxes, doesn't it? and sometimes, we internalize those labels and forgot that the individual self is a changing, shifting thing of beauty that cannot ever be captured in a simplistic box! Best of luck with your effort in finding and celebrating and being yourself!
Excellent! You are on your way to becoming a strong, independent, free thinking woman! Way to go!!
You are so wise at such a young age.

GE Hitachi, Westinghouse Could Benefit From India's Shift on Nuclear Energy.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy, a partnership between General Electric (GE) and Hitachi (HIT), and Westinghouse Electric, a Toshiba unit are likely to benefit from the recently approved Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Bill in India.
On Monday, the Indian Parliament approved the compensation bill for nuclear accidents subsequent to tougher provisions on supplier liability. This move would end the two-year nuclear ban on India, whose atomic energy market is estimated between $150 billion and $175 billion.
It would enable U.S. companies to compete and invest almost $100 billion to $150 billion in India's nuclear power industry. Additionally, these companies would compete with European state- run rival companies as India boosts nuclear power generation to increase thirteen-fold by 2030 to spur economic growth.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and the Congress government had to rewrite the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Bill to accommodate all concerns and views of opposition parties as it seeks to ensure the passing of the bill before U.S president Barrack Obama visits India in November. The new law might lead to a significant increase in nuclear energy contribution to India's current power supply, which currently accounts for a meager 3%.In order to gain adequate votes for passing the bill, the Indian government inserted a clause capping payouts for compensation claims by the Nuclear Power Corporation of India at $322 million beyond which the government would be responsible. After paying compensation, Nuclear Power Corp. can seek money from suppliers for defective equipment or materials, according to the bill. However, analysts believe that such clauses would not be accepted by suppliers world-wide and would hamper the growth of the nuclear manufacturing industry in India.

.- On Friday, the Archdiocese of Denver defended its decision to not readmit a local same-sex couple's child into a Catholic school, saying, "Parents living in open discord with Catholic teaching in areas of faith and morals unfortunately choose by their actions to disqualify their children from enrollment."
Local channel 9NEWS reported that the Sacred Heart Church in Boulder, Colorado recently held a meeting to discuss the situation of a preschool student whose parents are two women. School staff members were told Tuesday that the child would not be allowed to re-enroll. According to the station, certain anonymous staff members reacted negatively and were "disgusted" by the archdiocese's decision.
The Denver Archdiocese responded to the situation in a statement Friday, explaining that a "principal reason parents place their children in Archdiocese of Denver Schools is to reinforce the Catholic beliefs and values that the family seeks to live at home."
"To preserve the mission of our schools, and to respect the faith of wider Catholic community, we expect all families who enroll students to live in accord with Catholic teaching," the statement asserted.
"Our admission policy states clearly, 'No person shall be admitted as a student in any Catholic school unless that person and his/her parent(s) subscribe to the school's philosophy and agree to abide by the educational policies and regulations of the school and Archdiocese.'"
"To allow children in these circumstances to continue in our school would be a cause of confusion for the student in that what they are being taught in school conflicts with what they experience in the home."
The archdiocesan statement concluded by saying, "We communicated the policy to the couple at Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic School as soon as we realized the situation. We discussed the reasons with them and have sought to respond in a way that does not abruptly displace the student but at the same time respects the integrity of the Catholic school's philosophy."

Wm Morrison Supermarkets Plc (MRW) stepped up the battle against discounters and its larger U.K. supermarket competitors by cutting prices on 1,200 products from fruit scones to baby wipes.
Prices on the items will be reduced by an average of 17 percent starting today, the Bradford, England-based grocer said in a statement, the second round of cuts since Morrison said on March 13 that the strategy will cause profit to plunge.
"This is a defensive and an offensive play," Morrison Chief Executive Officer Dalton Philips said at an embargoed briefing yesterday. While the grocer may not be able to match discounters Aldi and Lidl on every item, "our competitive pricing, the quality of the fresh food we make ourselves and the level of service will be a compelling proposition."
Aldi and Lidl, both based in Germany, are increasing their share of U.K. supermarket spending as their low prices and improving product quality win favor with shoppers. Morrison's biggest domestic competitors Tesco Plc (TSCO) and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT)'s Asda have responded by reducing prices.
Morrison's price cuts, including a 60 percent reduction in the cost of a pack of Huggies wipes to 1 pound ($1.69), mean that same-store sales "are unlikely to improve any time soon," Philips said yesterday. "Our lower prices automatically and inevitably reduce the actual sales going through the till."
The price cuts will be supported from today by a television advertising campaign under the strapline "I'm Your New Cheaper Morrisons," according to the company.
Philips also said he expects Morrison's new online business and the embryonic convenience-store unit to contribute 500 million pounds to annual sales by the end of the year. The retailer had annual revenue of 17.7 billion pounds last year.

variable not ending up with assigned value:
Hey everyone. I'm new here and so if i make a mistake or two please forgive me, but i'll try my best to make this post coherent :)
Ok so I am attempting to make a quiz type arrangement, using arrays to store questions and answers. The idea is to select a random question and put it on the screen. I have done this properly as far as I can tell, but where I seem to keep falling down is calling the variable to put on the screen. Having tested it as thoroughly as I know how what I am seeing is that the variable I have assigned to have the value in the array I want to display is either coming back undefined or empty (it was set to empty at the beginning of the script as I am calling it in a couple of different functions). I would appreciate any help on how to get this variable to have the actual value i assigned to it. I'll link the appropriate code below:
<button type=\"button\" onclick= \"createNewQuestions();\">Start Quiz</button>';//this starts the ball rolling
function createNewQuestions()//this is used to get a random question from my array's. The array values are all set and I don't think i need to show them here. The key may be the order in which I have placed these functions coming up. It is linked exactly as it is in my .js file, although I made a conscious effort not to have functions firing ahead of time. anyway, the next function isn't called next but i have written it next:
var totalQuestion= 6;
var question1;
var question2;
var question3;
question1= Math.floor(Math.random()*totalQuestion);
if(question1 != null)
question2= Math.floor(Math.random()*totalQuestion);
while(question2 == question1)
question2= Math.floor(Math.random()*totalQuestion);
if(question2 != null)
question3= Math.floor(Math.random()*totalQuestion);
while(question3 == question1 || question3 == question2)
question3= Math.floor(Math.random()*totalQuestion);
createCookie("question1", question1, 3, "", "", "");
createCookie("question2", question2, 3, "", "", "");
createCookie("question3", question3, 3, "", "", "");
var qc1= readCookie("question1");
var qc2= readCookie("question2");
var qc3= readCookie("question3");
var first= questionSet[qc1];
var second= questionSet[qc2];
var third= questionSet[qc3];
var question= first;
function createQuizDisplay()//this function basically asks my questionSet array what type of question it is, and depending on the value it gets will display a different format. This particular function has a lot wrong with it and I haven't really ironed out the kinks, but it should still show a messed up version of what I want despite not the exact values (i.e it should show gobbeldygook on the screen, but random gobbeldygook depending on what random value I got from my math.random function earlier)
if(question[0]= 1)
template = '<input type=\"radio\" id=\"1temp1\" name= question[0] value= question[2] />question[2]
 <input type=\"radio\" id=\"1temp2\" name= question[0] value= question[3] />question[3]
 <input type=\"radio\" id=\"1temp3\" name=question[0] value= question[4] />question[4]
 <input type=\"radio\" id=\"1temp4\" name= question[0] value= question[5] />question[5] </fieldset> </form>'
else if(question[0]= 2)
template= '
question[1]
 <form id=\"questionTemplate2\" action=\"\"> <fieldset> <input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"2temp1\" name= question[0] value= question[2] />question[2]
 <input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"2temp2\" name= question[0] value= question[3] />question[3]
 <input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"2temp3\" name= question[0] value= question[4] />question[4]
 <input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"2temp4\" name= question[0] value= question[5] />question[5] </fieldset> </form>'
template= '
question[1]
 <form id=\"questionTemplate3\" action=\"\"> <fieldset> <legend>question[2]</legend> \"Answers:\"
 <input type=\"text\" id=\"3temp1\" size=\"50\" name= question[0] /> </fieldset> </form>'
the next function is where it seems to break down:
function displayQuiz()//now, this function is used to put what i want on the screen, and when it is run, It will consistently give only the answer from the first if statement in the last function. However this should be throwing a random result on the screen each time from 1 of the 3 possibilites, if, if else or else.
document.getElementById("main").innerHTML= template;
Upon trying to find out where it became unstuck, I found out that question has a value of "" or nothing, if it is put on the screen (
.innerHTML = question;) I did this to see if there was an error in my
createQuizDisplay()function (of which there are plenty) BUT, the particular error which is tripping me up seems to be elsewhere, I assume in the
createNewQuestions()function as question is supposed to be given a value of an array (
var question = first;). But on testing question is null. I also made first a global variable, instantiating it with a nothing value (
var first= "";) and when i tried to display this on screen to see if first was where I went wrong I got the same result (an empty screen, meaning first still carried a value of ""...I think)
Where I think the problem lies is that somehow
questionis keeping it's initial value which has been set to empty (
var question= "";).
I don't have any other idea's, so if anyone could shed any light that would be a massive help :) I just need
questionto have the value of the array that I asked it to have in
createNewQuestions()and I will be good to go.
Thanks in advance. Sorry for such a long post.
Here is some stuff that may have been confusing:
is an array containing array's, so
var first= questionSet[qc1];should ideally return an array.

It will be a lot easier to see the markup and scripts involved in complete settings unaltered.
