Aetna Foundation Gives $25,000 To Help Latino Families In The Bronx Live Healthier
The Aetna Foundation has awarded a $25,000 grant to The Committee for Hispanic Children and Families, Inc. (CHCF) to help Latino families in the Bronx adopt healthy eating habits and exercise regularly. The funds support "Healthy Living," the organization's nutrition and fitness program for students and their families at P.S. 279 Captain Manuel Rivera, Jr., in the Fordham Heights neighborhood.
CHCF's "Healthy Living" combines Latino culture with fun activities for the whole family, such as dancing, cooking classes and games. The free 10-week classes meet Saturdays at P.S./M.S. 279 at 2100 Walton Avenue.
Elba Montalvo, president and CEO of CHCF, says that "Healthy Living" aims to reverse high obesity rates and diet-related health problems among Latino families in the Bronx. Program participants, she notes, often suffer from diabetes, asthma or high blood pressure.
"Our participants work long hours, often at non-traditional times, which puts a strain on them and makes planning healthy meals and exercise a challenge," said Montalvo. "Buying healthy food can be especially difficult. Full-service supermarkets are scarce. Many families have very limited incomes and are forced to choose cheap, non-nutritious food, resulting in both malnutrition and obesity. 'Healthy Living' shows another way. We appreciate Aetna Foundation's support."Sharon Dalton, vice president of the Aetna Foundation and director of its regional grant making, said, "Our mission is to promote health and wellness, particularly in underserved communities. By bringing together families and incorporating Hispanic traditions, CHCF's program is a great way to make healthy new habits stick." Since CHCF launched "Healthy Living" in 2004, more than 800 people have taken classes. The program's culture-based approach uses Latino traditions and values, such as traditional foods, Spanish seasonings, promenading in the plaza, dancing and music. The program includes field trips to farmers' markets, tips for grocery shopping on a budget, and cooking classes that recreate favorite traditional dishes with less fat or sugar. The program is run by bilingual, bicultural staff members.

At bottom every man knows well enough that he is a unique being, only once on this earth; and by no extraordinary chance will such a marvelously picturesque piece of diversity in unity as he is, ever be put together a second time.Friedrich Nietzsche
We all have big changes in our lives that are more or less a second chance.Harrison Ford
In the stories about life and death, the soul often floats above the goodbye moment, hovering over police cars at highway accidents, or clinging like a spider to hospital room ceilings. These are people who receive a second chance, who somehow, for some reason, resume their place in the world. Eddie, it appeared, was not getting a second chance.Albom, Mitch
Anything is possible. You can be told you have a 90-percent chance or a 50-percent chance or a 1-percent chance, but you have to believe, and you have to fight. By fight I mean arm yourself with all the available information, get second opinions, third opinions, and fourth opinions. Understand what has invaded your body, and what the possible cures are. It's another fact of cancer that the more informed and empowered patient has a better chance of long-term survival. What if I had lost? What if I relapsed and the cancer came back? I still believe I would have gained something in the struggle, because in what time I had left I would have been a more complete, compassionate, and intelligent man, and therefore more alive.Lance Edward Armstrong
Its feeling like the second chance and its the first impression.Drake

Tech Weekly: RIM's Rocky Results
Story updated with new Nortel patent auction date.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Research In Motion's (RIM) shares went into a tailspin this week after the handset maker reported less-than-stellar first-quarter results after market close on Thursday.
Investors also balked at RIM's dismal outlook and news of headcount reductions, pushing the company's shares down 21.45% to $27.75 by Friday's close. Questions were also being asked about the effectiveness of the company's co-CEO management structure in the aftermath of the results.
|RIM's first-quarter results sent the handset maker's shares into a tailspin this week.
IBM (IBM) was also in the news on Thursday, but for a very different reason, as the tech bellwether marked its centennial. The company's CEO Sam Palmisano celebrated the event by ringing the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange, and IBM also released a book titled Making the World Work Better: The Ideas That Shaped a Century and a Company. Founded by Thomas J. Watson Sr. in 1911, IBM is now one of the world's best-known tech brands, bringing in revenue of $100 billion a year. IBM's shares ended the week up 1.09% at $164.44.
The tech sector's run of IPOs continued this week, with online music specialist Pandora Media (P) making its debut as a public company on Wednesday. Pandora's shares surged more than 63% in their market debut, as strong investor interest in the social media sector continued. But while the stock hit $26 at one point during morning trading -- which valued the company at more than $4 billion -- shares later fell to close at $17.42, and also sold off sharply on Thursday. Pandora's stock added 1.1% on Friday to finish the week at $13.40.

Anticipatory grief is similar to the normal process of mourning, but it occurs before the actual death (in anticipation of the death).
While mourning is usually discussed in context of the family and loved ones of a dying person, anticipatory grief can be experienced by the family, loved ones, and the child dying. Anticipatory grief occurs before death, often as a result of a terminal diagnosis or a life-threatening illness, when death is a possibility. This grief has some common stages among people in the same situation; however, every individual and family is different and experiences grief, death, and illness in their own unique way.
Grief and mourning do not have specific volumes or time restrictions. Each individual expresses his or her grief and bereavement in his or her own way and time. Anticipatory grief may include the following phases, though not exclusively in this order. Grief is often an expression which includes each of these phases or stages in multiple times, intensities, and orders:
Phase I. In this stage, an individual realizes that death is inevitable and there is no expectation for a cure. Sadness and depression are often associated with this first stage of grief.
Phase II. The next phase of anticipatory grief is concern for the dying person. Family members may regret arguments or disciplining the dying child. For the dying child, concern may be increased for himself or herself and his or her own fears of death, or because of the emotions expressed by loved ones around him or her.
Phase III. In this phase, the actual death may be "rehearsed." The physical process of death and what may happen after death are concerns in this phase. Funeral arrangements and saying good-bye to loved ones may occur as a result of some anticipatory grieving.
Phase IV. In the last phase, loved ones may be imagining what their lives are going to be like without the person that is dying. Parents may be thinking about the unused toys left behind, missed proms and birthdays, or even what they are going to tell the child's teachers when school is missed. Siblings may wonder what it will be like to lose their brother or sister.
The person dying may think about life after death. The person dying may also try to imagine what it will be like for his or her loved ones to live without him or her.

Here's the chart from the state Division of Financial Management on the April state tax revenues, though, as the chart notes, it's "incomplete preliminary data." It shows that individual income tax in April came in $47 million below projections, and corporate income tax $11 million below, while sales taxes were $2.6 million above projections and product taxes and miscellaneous revenues were right on projections. That means an overall shortfall, compared to projections, of $55.5 million for April, due in part to higher-than-expected income tax refunds; but what that means overall for the state, compared to already-set budgets, is a $13.5 million deficit heading into the final two months of fiscal 2010. Gov. Butch Otter says he has the tools, including reserves, to make that up and doesn't plan to call a special session of the Legislature.

Forbes magazine recently released its list of "The Most Disliked People in Sports" a survey of 1,100 people age 13 or older who are active in sports as either a player, coach, manager, broadcaster, agent or owner.
Before we go further, let's keep this honest. It's the "most-hated" poll. It is what it is. Don't get tripped up and tricked by the euphemism of "dislike." These are athletes that evoke visceral responses, as is evidenced by their "strong dislike" quotients below.
The respondents had to be actively involved as to eliminate the multitude of those who might only know of Vick through his dog-fighting arrest and nothing more. Before we go any further, let's take a look at the full list with the percent of "Strong Dislike" in parentheses.
1. Michael Vick (69%)
2. Al Davis (66%)
3. Ben Roethlisberger (57%)
4. Tiger Woods (53%)
5. Jerry Jones (53%)
6. Mark McGwire (48%)
7. Terrell Owens (47%)
8. Alex Rodriguez (45%)
9. Allen Iverson (45%)
10. Gilbert Arenas (44%)
Today is only going to ask questions. Some are rhetorical, others are interrogatives actually in search of an answer. But today, it's going to be more about questions than anything else. This survey is supposed to be the answer to the question of "who is the most 'disliked' in professional sports?" The list above is your answer.
Mo'Kelly could extrapolate out and write a scathing editorial on how troubling it is that even the "more informed" (i.e. sports enthusiasts) still have a disproportionate amount of contempt for Michael Vick than anyone else, but no…not today. Mo'Kelly could theorize the implicit role of race in the perception of athletes, but no…not today. Mo'Kelly only has questions, you the readers will have to provide the answers.
- How is it that Michael Vick is still the "most-disliked" in all of sports when he's been a model citizen since he's been out of jail for more than a year?
- Why is it that Michael Vick tops this list and Ben Roethlisberger who has been accused of rape TWICE is nowhere close in percentage to Vick?
- Should Mo'Kelly make the leap that killing my neighbor's dog 3 years ago is somehow socially less acceptable than (allegedly) raping the same neighbor's daughter 3 months ago?
- Why is Terrell Owens as "disliked" as much Mark McGwire and more than Alex Rodriguez, when of the three, he's the only one who didn't cheat in his sport (or on his wife for that matter)?
- Did these people somehow forget that Mark McGwire's career was a fraud and he in essence "pleaded the 5th" before Congress?
- Don't these people know that being a fraud for your whole career like McGwire is probably worse than making a career of creative endzone celebrations like Owens…and the two shouldn't be equated on any level…ever?
- How did Gilbert Arenas make this list and not Plaxico Burress? (Is that because since he's "in" jail, he's not "in" sports…i.e. ineligible?)
- If Michael Vick were never to have played in the NFL again, (despite not being eligible for the list), Mo'Kelly wonders if people would still dislike him as much…i.e. less jealousy/contempt?
- Why is Tiger Woods so much more "disliked" than A-Rod when Tiger's never been caught cheating in his sport and arguably equally as unfaithful as Alex Rodriguez?
- Does that mean cheating on your wife with a married Madonna (and presumably plenty others) is somehow socially more acceptable than cheating on your wife with porn stars and cocktail waitresses?
- Or let Mo'Kelly ask the same question slightly differently. Why is cheating on your wife (as a superstar golfer) comparable in "dislike" to being accused of raping two women (as a superstar NFL quarterback) and more "reprehensible" than the superstar baseball player who cheated on his wife AND cheated in his sport?
What did Jerry Jones do to deserve to be on this list? Al Davis, I get it. But Jerry Jones?
- How many people tried to write in OJ Simpson's name, even though he's not eligible for this list?
- Is Mo'Kelly the only one who wonders what "other" criteria was considered by the respondents…be it consciously or subconsciously?

If The Mo'Kelly Report has been anything over the years, it has been both consistent and fair. For every story Mo'Kelly has written in derision of a John Mayer, Michael Richards or even Dog the Bounty Hunter, you will also find one equally critical of Gilbert Arenas/Plaxico Burress, the Duke Lacrosse accuser and Nas the rapper.
No one has ever received a pass on the issues of race here, irrespective of their race. When heaping praise and critique, there is no double-standard now and there won't be in the future in this column.
Right is right and wrong is wrong.
Unfortunately, the reality is that we do not live in a post-racial society, despite the fact that Barack Obama lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. We do live in a post-legislated racism (i.e. post Jim Crow) society, but the issues of race persist.
Black farmers were recently awarded 1.25 billion (with a "b") in a civil discrimination suit. That is not a figment of my imagination. The FBI is presently investigating the police beating of Pittsburgh teenage violinist Jordan Miles in January of this year. If that weren't enough, the organization 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement called on NY Attorney General Andrew Cuomo to investigate racial profiling after "stop and frisk" statistics went through the roof…reflecting the disproportionate detainment of Blacks and Latinos.
Post-racial society? Hardly.
But speaking of racial profiling, it's the perfect entry point into the discussion of the newest member of the New York Jets, Antonio Cromartie…the troublesome Antonio Cromartie. Cromartie came to the Jets by way of a trade with the San Diego Chargers. Yes, that would be the same San Diego, home to the "Compton Cookout" controversy on the campus of UCSD. Yes, that would be the same "Compton Cookout" where "educated" college students took to ridiculing the worst of Black stereotypes in "celebration" of Black History Month.
I know what some are you thing…"where is he going with this?"
Here's where…
Antonio Cromartie signed a 5-year $12 million contract with the San Diego Chargers in 2006, 7.35 million of which was guaranteed.
Four years later, the New York Jets had to ADVANCE Cromartie $500,000 to enable him to address his "paternity issues."
Yes, "paternity issues."
Cromartie at age 25 has 7 children, by 6 different women across 5 states and is behind on child support by at least $25,000. All of the children are age 6 or younger. According to court records Cromartie has failed to appear in court on two different occasions regarding moving violations and his driver license status is in doubt. Specifically, he tried to get a California license in 2006 (to replace his Florida one) but could not pass the written portion then and has not since.
But wait, there's more…
Cromartie has been named in "at least" five paternity suits in the past three years alone, meaning the official tally of how many kids are his is legally still in doubt and may rise considerably.
Yes, "at least" five. Could be six, could be eight, who knows? But "at least" five.
Antonio Cromartie is 25, broke and the embodiment of many of the worst that Black stereotypes have to offer.
The question today is whether we as African-Americans should be more upset at the racist stereotypes being "celebrated" at a college frat party or at the behavior of those like Antonio Cromartie which feed into them? This is not an either-or postulation, there's room to be mightily offended by both.
Let's remember, social capital is a finite resource and how we spend it on the issues of race invariably matters. There's room to attack both of these issues simultaneously, but I take particular exception to individuals like Antonio Cromartie.
Some 12 million Cromartie dollars later, we have at least 7 more children of color with neither an emotionally available father nor the financial support system in which to raise them. That is shameful.
The "Compton Cookout" was hideously offensive to be sure…but this pains Mo'Kelly far worse.
Far, far worse.
Wide receiver and father Plaxico Burress…jail. Star guard and unwed father (2 children) Gilbert Arenas…on his way to jail. Rapper Lil Wayne, unwed father of 4 children (two born simultaneously to different women)…just finished tucking himself in…you got it, prison. Black male pathology is in full swing. It's not funny and it's not a figment of one's imagination. It's true and we should recognize it for what it is.
It is unacceptable, that's what it is. There will be no "partridge in a pear tree jokes" today.
As sorry of an individual Antonio Cromartie must be to father 7 children with 6 women across 5 states, how sorry is our community to neither put a stop to individuals such as him or condemn the behavior with the same veracity we condemned the "Compton Cookout?"
Mo'Kelly doesn't want to see African-Americans mocked on college campuses or having nooses dangled in derision. At the same time, Mo'Kelly especially doesn't want to see the likes of Antonio Cromartie breathe life into the worst of those same Black male stereotypes.
I don't want to hear any excuses and I definitely don't want any "explanations" as to why Cromartie gets a pass (no football pun intended) and Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity doesn't.
Neither should.
To have seven children (proven thus far) with 6 women across 5 states by age 25 isn't funny, isn't acceptable or explainable in any way. For all the protests and outrage (rightfully) directed at UC San Diego and Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, some should have been directed at Cromartie too. I mean, it's the same damn city.
The troublesome Antonio Cromartie…
Both have measurable and deleterious effects and must be addressed if we as a society are ever to overcome the issue of race. We in the African-American community must approach the Antonio Cromarties of the world with the same righteous indignation we do a "Compton Cookout." Otherwise, in the not-so-distant future we will have bankrupted our social capital account and impugned our moral authority once and for all.

The Cole and B-Rich Show was kind enough to allow Mo'Kelly to stay for the entire program. With that in mind, the audio has been separated into three parts, just in case you may not wish to hear the full 90 minutes. The dialogue was rich, so you just might.
But this way, you have a better idea just how long the conversation lasted instead of listening to one long file.

Few debates in all of my years of editorial journalism have been this simple. For all the usual pushback Mo'Kelly would get in the discussion of guns within the African-American professional athlete community, the opposition is largely silent these days.
No surprise there.
With the death of boxing champion Vernon Forrest, murdered while chasing after a robber and his stolen Rolex; gun enthusiasts twisted the truth arguing that his social status and success made him the target. The truth of the matter was much less convoluted. Forrest's gun only ensured his murder. If Forrest isn't carrying a concealed weapon, he does not chase after armed robbers down a dark alley.
Barring any future unforeseen circumstances, Vernon Forrest would be alive and well today.
Last week, Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas pleaded guilty to felony gun charges in relation to bringing four guns to the Verizon Center. It is his second gun-related offense, meaning he's had more than one opportunity to act with good sense. While awaiting sentencing, Adidas dropped Arenas from his $40 million dollar endorsement deal and the Wizards are presently working to void his contract in full.
Guns just might have ended Arenas' career, destroyed any level of marketability and most importantly may take away his freedom for an extended period of time.
Yes, guns have done a wonderful job protecting the life and livelihood of one Gilbert Arenas.
But wait, there's more.
Former NFL wide receiver Marvin Harrison is presently being investigated, under suspicion of murder. Depending on which reports you read, charges are on the way. Yes, guns have done a yeoman's job in protecting athletes and their interests.
That's not including former Tennessee basketball player Tyler Smith. Guns likely have ended his professional career before it even began.
Plaxico Burress anyone? Normally I would hope he reads this, but Mo'Kelly doesn't think Plax will get to check his email from jail. Even if he does, he probably doesn't want to hear from Mo'Kelly on this subject.
Usually there is one exception and they also say the exception proves the rule. As it stands, there is no exception here. Guns outside the home, obtained or transported illegally have not made athletes safer and its a specious argument that needs to end. Guns are ending the careers of African-American professional athletes, not protecting them. Mo'Kelly can't find ONE example of how concealed weapons have protected the professional athlete carrying it.
Not ONE.
How many more must lose everything before we get the message?
Yes, "we."
Given the prevalence and persistence of these issues amongst Black athletes and not White ones it must come down to a difference in choices. Black athletes are not "more" likely to be targeted than White ones, only seemingly more likely to make choices in which put their safety in doubt.
The worst part of all of this is that these athletes are willfully contributing to the negative stereotypes of Black men that the whole of our community must deal with incessantly. Gilbert Arenas puts Mo'Kelly in danger. Marvin Harrison puts Mo'Kelly in danger. Plaxico Burress puts Mo'Kelly in danger. Society treats Black men relative to incidents like these. Legislation is created in relation to incidents such as these.
Thank you guys for helping legitimize the stereotypes of Black men as being violent and felonious, irrespective of educational or financial status. Their collective criminality affects all Black males, not just the ones who willingly gave away their careers (and lives) for the sake of faux machismo.
Few debates in all of my years of editorial journalism have been this simple. For all the usual pushback Mo'Kelly would get in the discussion of guns within the African-American professional athlete community, the opposition is largely silent these days.
The truth of the matter is that there is no "other" side to this discussion. There is no opposition. It is a figment of one's imagination. There is no good reason for professional athletes carrying concealed weapons when legal, private security exist as an affordable option. For all the entourages and worthless "associates" on athletes' payrolls, it's even more ridiculous why some African-American athletes can't make the right decision. Affordability is simply not an intelligent excuse.
The desire to carry a concealed weapon is nothing more than misguided machismo wrapped in stupidity. The actions of Arenas, Burress, Harrison et al. don't only endanger lives of those carrying the guns, but the collateral damage impacts the perception and safety of all Black men.

NEW YORK — NBA commissioner David Stern has indefinitely suspended Gilbert Arenas, saying the Washington Wizards guard is "not currently fit to take the court" for a game.
(Mo'Kelly – BRAVO David, BRAVO)
Stern says in a statement Wednesday that Arenas' actions will "ultimately result in a substantial suspension, and perhaps worse."
Because Arenas violated NBA rules by bringing guns into Washington's locker room, Stern decided to punish Arenas now. He said the suspension begins immediately.
Stern says he originally planned to wait for the criminal investigation to be completed before taking action, and directed the Wizards to do the same.
Every game Arenas ends up missing during the suspension will cost him $147,208.
The suspension comes after multiple media reports over the weekend said that a dispute over a gambling debt led to a conflict between Arenas and teammate Javaris Crittenton.
Multiple sources told ESPN.com that an argument commenced during a card game on the team's overnight flight back to Washington from Phoenix on Dec. 19 and escalated into a heated exchange between Arenas and Crittenton. The Wizards had Dec. 20 off, but sources say hostilities between the two resumed Dec. 21 in the locker room on a practice day.
Sources say that Arenas, in response to what was said on the flight, placed the three guns on a chair near Crittenton's locker stall and invited him to pick one before practice on Dec. 21. Sources said that Crittenton subsequently let Arenas know that he had his own gun.
The Washington Post reported in Sunday's editions that Arenas, according to sources, was expecting Crittenton to see the guns on his chair as a joke based on the earlier back-and-forth on the plane, during which Crittenton allegedly said that he would shoot Arenas in his surgically repaired knee. But Crittenton, according to Post, reacted angrily and tossed one of the guns to the floor, saying he had his own.
In his statement, Arenas confirmed that the guns were brought out at the Dec. 21 practice.
"As I have said before, I had kept the four unloaded handguns in my house in Virginia but then moved them over to my locker at the Verizon Center to keep them away from my young kids," the statement read. "I brought them without any ammunition into the District of Columbia, mistakenly believing that the recent change in the D.C. gun laws allowed a person to store unloaded guns in the District. On Monday, December 21st, I took the unloaded guns out in a misguided effort to play a joke on a teammate.

NBA star Gilbert Arenas didn't have a license to possess the guns he stored in his locker in D.C…. law enforcement sources tell TMZ.
We're told there were four guns in Arenas' locker that were turned over to police, including a gold-plated Desert Eagle — a gigantic handgun.
Arenas could be charged for "CPWL"– carrying a pistol without a license.
As we previously reported, Arenas could also face assault charges stemming from the alleged gun-toting standoff with a teammate on Xmas Eve.
D.C. cops plan to bring in Washington Wizards coach Flip Saunders today for questioning. GM Ernie Grunfeld will be brought in later this week.

"I appreciated the opportunity to meet with law enforcement officials today. As the person who caused this trouble in the first place, I thought it was my duty to be the first witness to come forward and meet with the prosecutors and detectives. I told my attorney I wanted to get in for an interview as soon as we could arrange it, and that was today.
I told the detectives and prosecutors the whole story about my storing the unloaded guns at the Verizon Center and what I was intending to do when I took them out of my locker on December 21st.
As I have said before, I had kept the four unloaded handguns in my house in Virginia, but then moved them over to my locker at the Verizon Center to keep them away from my young kids. I brought them without any ammunition into the District of Columbia, mistakenly believing that the recent change in the DC gun laws allowed a person to store unloaded guns in the District.
On Monday, December 21st, I took the unloaded guns out in a misguided effort to play a joke on a teammate. Contrary to some press accounts, I never threatened or assaulted anyone with the guns and never pointed them at anyone.
Joke or not, I now recognize that what I did was a mistake and was wrong. I should not have brought the guns to DC in the first place, and I now realize that there's no such thing as joking around when it comes to guns — even if unloaded.
I am very sorry for the effect that my serious lapse in judgment has had on my team, my teammates, the National Basketball Association and its fans. I want to apologize to everybody for letting them down with my conduct, and I promise to do better in the future.
I also want to thank the detectives and prosecutors on the case for the professionalism and courtesy they showed me during the interview today. I stand ready to continue to give my full cooperation to them and to the League as they investigate this incident."

Acclaim has officially launched The Chronicles of Spellborn in North America, and to mark the occasion, premium subscriptions are totally free for people registering before the 7th of May (and for existing accounts). The issue of needing "Acclaim Coins" to purchase subscriptions has been fixed in time for the launch, and when the free subscriptions run out, players will be able to keep them going using their credit cards directly.
As we had confirmed for us last month, Spellborn will be using a monthly paid subscription business model, however, a small portion (three areas) of the game's content will be available for free in perpetuity. Upon reaching a certain level, all further character progression is blocked. This is really more of a free trial than an actual "free-to-play with premium for-pay bits", so to see what the full game is really like, the best option would be to try it out now while the flood gates are opened all the way. If you decide to give it a go, be sure to let us know what you think about it.

i think thats a pretty clever move from acclaim, especially if they back it up with some advertising.
i have been enjoying to play tcos for some month now on the european server and while its not yet the "you must play it its the best" wow killer type of game, its really fun and gets better month by month

I haven't played Spellborn, but I like the idea of a free trial with no hard time limit. I find traditional 7- and 14-day trials short, especially 7-day trials. It's really hard to get a grasp on the game world in such a short time period.

I was really excited for this game then So i downloaded the open beta only to find they where using game guard and it did not play nice with windows 7

This is a great game, with actual real-time dodging in combat and a great artstyle for the world. Only problem, game guard, like Nimb said. A lot of good MMOs never get played for that reason (thinking Phantasy Star, City of Heroes, Albatross18, etc).

Did anyone else get a virus warning popup when they launched it for the first time? I had four files come up as Win32/Devir (specifically from SBGame.dll and Engine.dll) the first time I ran the game after installing it.

Boston Celtics discuss Tim Donaghy's allegations
Tim Donaghy is coming at the NBA hard with allegations of a crooked referree corps that throws games, influences otucomes, and holds grudges against certain players and coaches. He's trying to take the league down with him, all so he can get a little bit of money through selling his tell-all book.
Should he be trusted? I don't think so. How can you trust a man with his back against the wall, who has proven to be a snake, a thief and a liar, who is clearly trying to gain whatever monetary profits he can off his immoral decision to bet NBA games? I just don't think he holds any credibility at all, or that we can trust a single word that come out of his mouth.
At the same time, I'm positive some of the things he will say, has said, are true. Just like in any other profession, I'm sure there are some unethical NBA referrees, and I'm sure some guys do hold grudges, and other guys have probably bet on games. The only problem is, we don't know which parts of Donaghy's stories are bullshit and which parts are real. We can't trust a single word coming out of his mouth, but some of it has to be true, right?
Rasheed Wallace thinks so (via the Herald):
Rasheed Wallace said tonight he believes the Tim Donaghy scandal will eventually get deeper. He predicted a major problem for the NBA when all the facts come to light.
"I always said to myself and had the thing that there's no way that the things that he did he could do them by himself," Wallace said. "I always said that. It's virtually impossible. The things that he's been accused of, there's no way, to me, in my opinion, he could have done those things by himself."
I'm with 'Sheed. How could he do these things by himself? And, if he did do it by himself, don't you think there's some other scummy ref out there who did the same things?
But I'm also with Doc, who doesn't think he can trust Donaghy at all (via ESPNBoston):
"My buddy," Rivers joked when Donaghy's name was brought up by reporters before Tuesday's game against the Bucks. Asked if he had heard Donaghy's comments about Rivers trying to persuade refs, Rivers challenged the credibility of someone who admitted to betting on NBA games.
"I've been trying to get on younger players for a long time and persuade them to do things as well," said Rivers. "I don't know, I'm so sick of that guy right now, I really am, for our league. I love our league, and I hate what's going on, that we're giving a guy like him credibility."
It's a tough line to straddle. Clearly, what Donaghy says probably has some merit but, at this point, I probably wouldn't even trust him if he told me Tony Allen has a low basketball IQ. That's how much credibility he's lost.
Ray Allen has a more balanced view on things, saying that while Donaghy makes some points that might be valid, it's hard to trust a man in his position, a man with his reputation (via the Globe):
In the wake of the Tim Donaghy scandal and its recent fallout, Ray Allen said NBA referees need to be held accountable for their actions, but he stopped short of saying he believed everything Donaghy had to say to the media in recent days.
"He made a very strong case," said Allen. "I can't say that he would do anything to jeopardize — he went to prison, it's hard to say whether or not he would lie or make something up of that nature. "
So what is the real deal? What is true about Donaghy's allegations, and what isn't?
I just don't know, and I don't know if we'll ever really find out. I still find it hard to give weight to his words, but it's also tough to discount them.

So I made a SunCal kit "merlot type wine" what I did was add the grape juice the kit came with, 6.5 lbs of gradulated white sugar, grape tanin, acid blend and some yeast nutrient. Never added the campden tablets (nowhere in instructions) I waited 7 days (should have only done 5) The wine was foaming pretty good with CO2 at this point. I assume this why you degas the wine at various times. The instructions never told me to degas anything; it simply said rack after 5 days, then again at two week and again in two months. It never mentions anything about adding finings or degassing.
Well when I racked last night (at 7 days in primary) I decided to degas it via hard stir with paddle. this made the top really foamy so I just scooped most of it out with my funnel.
So my questions are these (lots of them):
-Was I right to degas? How often should I degas?
-Should I have added finings? When are finings added? What the the specific names of finings. The kit came with containers called "acid blend" Grape Tanin" "Yeast Nutrient" and campden tablets. Out of all those things I have only used nutirent before this batch (Apfelwein)
So bacially I would like to know if the next time I rack I should add "finings" and also do I degas? Also, the things that I did not inclue: pectic enzyme, absorbic acid and stabilizer; when do I add these? (if I even should)
Also have I done anything wrong so far?
Thanks all!!
Im justing looking for some guidance on general procedures...nothing earth shattering going on here
So you only need to degas if you are not bulk aging?
Generally, yes. If you plan to bottle within a couple of months it'll likely be gassy. The degassing process is usually done after fermentation is complete and at the time of stabilizing.
I am a newbie here, thanks for your help.
next week I am supposed to rack to a different container for two months. Is this when I add the sulphites?
If I was going to degass, which if the kit doesn't call for it I wouldn't, I think I would wait until it is done fermenting. I'm not sure it would be done fermenting in 7 days, but that only my opinion.

Very easy setup!
This review is from: BYTECC BT-1324 13" - 24" LCD Wall Mount, Max load 35lbs
Pros: -It's very easy to set it up
Cons: -NONE
Did you find this review helpful?
Does what you'd think
This review is from: BYTECC BT-1324 13" - 24" LCD Wall Mount, Max load 35lbs
Pros: Good price, Seems decently sturdy. Easy to install. Comes with all hardware to put it right up. Had my monitor up in about 10 mins. Even has little rubber covers for the bolts. And who doesn't love "anti-rusty" paint?
Cons: Can't think of any
Other Thoughts: Went right up on the wall and seems sturdy enough. Probably would hold it's rated weight, but if you try it, make sure you use those anchors or find a stud. Does the job. Can't complain. Left the bolt for the left and right movement slightly loose and now I can move the monitor from right to left depending on what side of my work bench I'm working on.
Did you find this review helpful?
Good for the price, but light duty
This review is from: BYTECC BT-1324 13" - 24" LCD Wall Mount, Max load 35lbs
Pros: Cheap, mounting hardware included, simple adjustments.
Cons: You have to really tighten the adjustment bolts for these to hold their position and not slowly droop. It only takes a tiny bit of slip in the joints to equal one monitor being very far out of alignment to the others.
Other Thoughts: Good buy for the price.
Did you find this review helpful?
This review is from: BYTECC BT-1324 13" - 24" LCD Wall Mount, Max load 35lbs
Pros: Works like I need it. Perfect for both work station and screens. Bought two for tens dollars each, great buy.
Cons: A little flimsy but since I've set the Monitors to the angle I need them their fine.
Did you find this review helpful?
Seems to be working great!
This review is from: BYTECC BT-1324 13" - 24" LCD Wall Mount, Max load 35lbs
Pros: - Light weight
Cons: None that I can think of really. It is quite tight when trying to adjust the swivel / tilt features, but easily solved with the included wrench.
Other Thoughts: I bought two of these mounts. One for a 20 inch TV and one for a 24 inch TV. I have only had a chance to mount the 20 inch with this mount and so far it seems to be working great. I was a little worried about its durability because it does not say whether you need to mount it to a wall stud or not. Using the provided wall anchors for the screws, I went ahead and mounted the TV between studs and it seems to be pretty sturdy, even with the weight of the TV. I can easily tilt and swivel without feeling like I am about to pull the mount out of the drywall, hahah.

Newry is 'bursting with pride' again
Tuesday, 2 September 2014
This year's Pride in Newry Festival has been declared an incredible success, according to organisers.
The third annual festival came to a close on Saturday after attracting visitors from all over Ireland and the UK.
Festival-goers were treated to plenty of entertaining events including the Pride in Newry Parade and Concert, a fun filled family area, a comedy night, street theatre and music by the best in local bands.
Difficulties faced by members of the LGBT community were also discussed during a trade union event and political events organised by Sinn Fein and the SDLP last week.
Some pupils from St Paul's High School took part in Saturday's Parade for the first time, alongside the school's Principal Jarlath Burns. The school's participation has been described as a very good indication of how far Newry has come in the push for recognition and equality for the LGBT communities. It is thought that it was the first time a school has taken part in any Pride parade anywhere on the island of Ireland.
Rory Rafferty, Chairman of Newry Rainbow Community said: "The Pride in Newry Festival has built itself up to become, ok perhaps not the largest, but definitely the most progressive and inclusive Pride on the island of Ireland. "Last year in what some people would regard as a nationalist city members of the Progressive Unionist Party walked in the parade. This year St Paul's High School has proudly stood up for equality and took part in our parade. Speaking on behalf of the members of the Newry Rainbow Community, It makes me really proud to be from Newry, a city where small changes are making a big difference."
Saturday's guest speaker was international human rights activist Peter Tatchell, who welcomed advances made for LBGT rights. He also said: "Of course we haven't still won everything. There's still the blood ban, here in the north of Ireland, there's still the ban on same sex marriage and we must never ever give up that fight to ensure that every LGBT person in this province has equal rights.
"In so many countries around the world today, even the right to be LGBT is under threat. With nearly 80 countries criminalising same sex relationships. More than half of these countries are members of the Commonwealth. Forty-two of the fifty-three Commonwealth member states criminalise homosexuality with penalties ranging up to life imprisonment and even execution in parts of Nigeria and Pakistan. Let's spare a thought for those people in those countries who don't even have the right to be who they are without the threat of jail or worse." Mr Tatchell added.

Column: Mesa's earliest hotels are lodged in pioneer memories
One thing that hasn't changed in Mesa's 136-year history is our wonderful winter weather.
Ever since folks discovered Arizona as an escape from cold, snowy weather, the area has been a haven for what we now affectionately call "snowbirds."
Long before self-contained lodging like motorhomes and recreational vehicles, visitors needed a place to stay.
Historians are still debating Mesa's first hotel. Unfortunately, when a new community is busy establishing itself, pioneers don't have much time to accurately record its history.
More than a dozen years elapsed after Mesa's founding before the community began printing its own newspaper in 1891, leaving uncertainty about what came before.
Because of the challenges of travel, early hotel guests enjoyed extended stays in lodgings that were generally more like boarding houses. Although we can't identify for certain Mesa's first hotel, we know that a handful were operating around 1885.
Family histories provide early accounts, but the first hotel varies by the telling. One of the earliest was operated by a Mesa founder.
George W. Sirrine, we are told, "established his (adobe brick) home … on the north side of Center and Sirrine … where he made accommodations for travelers, both food and shelter."
In her history of the Talmai E. Pomeroy family, daughter Leona Pomeroy Huber said her parents were "keeping a little hotel" on their property at Macdonald and Main Street.
The Hakes Hotel, situated on north Main, was described as a 21-room facility. Like the others, family members claimed it the first in Mesa.
Another early contender was William A. Kimball, who arrived in June 1878. He built his residence/hotel west of Macdonald on the north side of Main. Edward Stevenson, a leader in the Mormon Church traveling from Salt Lake City in 1896 stayed at the Kimball House.
"One of the present evidences of the thrift of (Mesa) is the Kimball hotel, of thirty-two rooms, elegantly furnished," Stevenson wrote, "and its parlors would do credit to any metropolitan hotel in the land. It is customary in this hot climate for people to have verandas surrounding their habitations. This is the case of the Kimball house. The edifice cost $11,000."
In 1898, the Kimball House became one of the first commercial buildings to use electricity. Two years later, in April 1900, electricity spelled its demise. The Arizona Gazette reported "Kimball House Burned — Mesa Fine Hotel Entirely Destroyed."
Stevenson concludes by mentioning another pre-20th-century hotel, "The Alhambra at a cost of $4,000."
Today, the Alhambra, on Macdonald south of Main, is the only early hotel still standing, although it was reconstructed after a fire in 1921.

Spring 2014 Undergraduate Creative Writing Awards
Judge: Margaret Luongo
Margaret Luongo, this year's judge, teaches creative writing at Miami University. Her short stories have appeared in Tin House, Jane Magazine, The Cincinnati Review, Granta.com, Consequence Magazine, North American Review, The Pushcart Prize anthology, and other publications. She was a Walter E. Dakin Fellow at the Sewanee Writers Conference and a recipient of the Ohio Arts Council Individual Creativity grant. In 2008, her first story collection, If the Heart is Lean, was published by LSU Press.
Forty-eight writers submitted stories. Below are the winners and the judge's comments.
John L. Rainey Prize, $1,000 (sponsored by Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity): Maryam Ghafoor, "Spider Wasp"
Ambitious in content, emotion, and form, "Spider Wasp" depicts a Pakistani family and its extended community in America. This family story conveys what it means to be an immigrant with strong ties to the religion, culture, and country from which one comes. Hope competes with doubt, sorrow, and guilt.
Charles and Susan Shattuck Prize, $500: Devin Borgman, "I Remember"
This story powerfully conveys, through voice and tone, the turmoil of a character living with the lingering shame she feels over a forced sexual encounter. The narrator uses the metaphor of a bear to represent the presence of this trauma in her life: the bear as a lumbering protector, as a reminder to be on guard. The voice is suitably and simultaneously oppressive, smart, insightful. The emotionally complex ending rings true, providing a believable sense of closure, healing, and progress.
Josephine M. Bresee Memorial, $400: Amanda Toledo, "Observing While Blue"
A lonely man finds comfort--and then distress--in his clandestine observation of a pair of strangers. The situation and level of detail highlight perfectly the protagonist's problem--his isolation and loneliness, his separation from his daughter. In the end, the protagonist's perception has changed just enough to improve his life--slightly--and to give him a modest (and heartbreaking) sense of hope.
Leah Trelease Prize, $300: Dylan Knox, "Ether"
The world is disappearing--people, things, animals, houses, the lines painted on roads--leaving behind nothingness. Throughout, the point of view character, Ryan, has some interesting thoughts. He's mostly unaffected, until his thoughts roam to his father. In the end, losing everything around him enlarges his sense of generosity for his fellow humans. His motorcycle ride through the atmosphere feels redemptive and transformative.
Honorable Mention: Brett Benischek, "The Secret Life of a Dinner Plate"
What do Martin Buber and a dinner plate have in common? A strikingly similar take on human existence. This is a story that should not work, but does—with charm and wit it asks the major existential questions. Are we, like Schrodinger's cat, stuck inside boxes that are only halfway killing us? Do we understand that other humans are alive (or dead) just like us?
Honorable Mention: Alyssa Davison, "Trace a Line Black on Black"
This surreal story shows the very mundane dissolution of a relationship: a couple grows apart in the ways that couples typically do. The dream-like elements convey Steve's passive-aggressive hostility toward his mate—he sees the impending disaster, he could change, but he won't. Eerie and compelling, complete with a toxic pond sprouting two-tailed tadpoles.
Honorable Mention: David Huettner, "First"
Frenetic and evocative, this unusually structured story offers a fresh look at The First Time.
Honorable Mention: Dylan O'Hearn, "In Clover"
A beautifully composed piece that conveys the sense of mindlessness, repetition, and oblivion a group of Marines experiences.
Judge: Katherine RiegelKatherine Riegel is the author of two books of poetry, What the Mouth Was Made For and Castaway. Her poems and essays have appeared in a variety of journals, including Brevity, Crazyhorse, and The Rumpus. She is co-founder and poetry editor for Sweet: A Literary Confection. She received her MFA from the Iowa Writers' Workshop, and the University of Illinois is her undergraduate alma mater. She teaches poetry at the University of South Florida in Tampa. .
Sixty-four writers submitted poems. Below are the winners and the judge's comments.
Folger Adam, Jr. Prize, $1,000 (sponsored by Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity): Jessica Sung, " Pickets"
"Pickets" is a mysterious, emotionally raw and evocative poem in which the speaker navigates between real and imaginary worlds, neither of which is straightforwardly positive or negative. In mistaking red flower petals for the blood of a rabbit, the speaker shows us the nightmare possibilities of the imaginary, but it is also the impossible neighbor, the one who isn't there because "no one lives there anymore," who offers up some kind of hope at the end of the poem. This poet shows a comfort with paradox and complexity that is at the heart of what poetry does, saying the unsayable with imagery and fresh language to give readers a glimpse of what it's like to be human.
Thatcher H. Guild Prize, $500: Natalie Declerck, "Scrolling Through Images of Sterile Sunsets"
"Scrolling Through Images of Sterile Sunsets" is a wonderfully disjointed-seeming poem, with the indented lines serving to heighten the sense of disorientation created by the line breaks and the surprise of the half sentences of the next lines—sometimes syntactically challenging, but continually fresh. The poem uses computer imagery in natural ways, commenting on the relationship between human and screen. The poet juxtaposes imagery and ideas from different time periods, including the line "The ceiling fan throws hex," and doesn't hold back sharp, smart expositional lines.
American Academy of Poets Prize, $100: Laney Ontiveros, "Raw Meat"
"Raw Meat" uses the poetic tools of compression, spacing, and experiment with capitalization and punctuation in very adept ways. There is very powerful emotion in this concise, ambiguous poem; the poet makes excellent use of connotation and tone so that a single word carries a number of meanings. The speaker is vulnerable, both lamb ("the bleating") and baby ("the teething"), and also literally squeezed by worry (the hands are "wrung & wrung"). Strong, raw imagery makes this poem memorable.
Honorable Mentions
Scott Blinkensderfer, "Raining on Their Three O'Clock Parades"
Sophia Ege, "We Sway at Fullerton"
Maryam Ghafoor, "Lalamusa"
Muriel Kenfield-Kelleher, "Unknown Lake, Washington"
Angela Nostwick, "Orange Hospital Jellow"

Old Pentium 4 computer Dont Throw away
Hi all
I've just upgraded an old P IV laptop computer to W7 x-86 and it REALLY FLIES. (Sony VAIO PGC 816)
(2GB RAM Full Pentium IV (not Celeron) 2.8 GHZ.
This gives some of the more modern laptops a real run for their money -- of course a full P IV is not a sensible choice these days for a laptop as the power consumption is Humungous -- you are lucky to get 90 mins of battery time with this one - especially with the HUGE screen and it weighs a ton.
However as an extra computer it's worth it (glad I never chucked it -- I added 1GB of RAM to it - it has 2 slots).
I just can't believe how FAST this old dynosaur is -- still has a beautiful screen so I'm using this one also as my TV / DVD viewing machine now.
I upgraded via XP home===> vista ultimate x-86 (non activated) ==> W7 RTM x-86 (from technet).
All the drivers were found.
Very happy with this although I wouldn't take it on the road - much to big and heavy.

Win7 Ultimate x64
All my friends are still using XP (and some on some really crappy computers). They wouldn't move to Vista because they heard it was so bad. I've been using Vista happily for a year now. The moment I opened up Win7 though, I knew it's their next upgrade. I'm hoping I can get them all to use Win7 (with MSE) on their mediocre systems, it's not only nicer, safer, and more powerful, it also performs better than XP.

Same here. I installed the Home Premium RTM on a P4 2.4 with 512 megs of RAM, tweaked it a bit and now it boots from the BIOS splash to the desktop in about 45 seconds.
Now if I could only undervolt this processor, this thing would be perfect! It's idling at 42C (20C room temp) right now but shoots right up to 70C if I give it the beans.

Hi there
also an interesting topic - note I was doing UPGRADES XP HOME==>VISTA Home Premium===>W7 Ultimate.
"C" Drive amount of data used on W7 -- 10GB, on Vista was 17 GB. Can't remember what XP used but W7 certainly is leaner and meaner tha VISTA.
I'm very pleased I've got a really useful extra machine. I was on the point of taking it on a one way trip to the tip.

I just finished setting up an old Celeron 3.2ghz with 1.5 gb of DDR1 400 ram, Gigabyte GA81848-G P775 MB with an AGP Nvidia 7300GT Video Card.
Storage is by 2 off 40gb IDE HDD's.
I installed Home Premium and was pleasantly surprised at the WEI ratings.
4 for both CPU and RAM, 4.5 for the video card and 5.4 for the drives.
Not too bad at all, it is reasonably quick, will do everything needed of it etc.

All men always act like Martians and all women always act like Venusians, right? Wrong.
Of course men and women are different but to always rely on gender specific labels in relationships can also be a way to justify bad behavior and poor communication. " Oh yeah all men don't feel, women feel too much, men run to caves, women can't receive, that's just the way it is. They just can't help it." I find as a relationship counselor that this type of gender thinking can keep you stuck and fighting over who the biggest victim is.
That's why I offer the sperm and egg metaphor to help you understand your relationship dynamic not from masculine and feminine labels and behaviors but from an energy perspective since we are all energy and we each have a unique energy system that feels, broadcasts and receives differently in every moment. And we know for a fact we all biologically come from a sperm and egg uniting and the sperm and egg contain certain energies.

The Saline County Striders will host its third annual Run with the Dogs 5K at 8 a.m. Saturday, April 21, in the Hurricane Lake Estates subdivision of Benton.
A one-mile Dog and Jog will follow at 9 a.m.; all proceeds benefit the Humane Society of Saline County.
"This is a great partnership we have with the Humane Society because we are able to get the word out, and they can use the funds the best way they see fit to help the animals of Saline County," said Jayme Butts-Hall, Strider and race co-director.
Highly decorated Korean War veteran Walter Rhodes of Saline County is now serving as the chaplain for the Military Order of the Purple Heart Association of Arkansas.
Rhodes recently spoke about his military experiences for a meeting of Provincia de la Sal Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution.
He retired with the rank of lieutenant after serving in Korean and Germany.

Earlier this year, as you guys know, I met a guy, he asked me to go to a dance and then we were together at another event. Then I got the email that he liked me only as a friend and was dating someone else.
So I have been going to this outdoor salsa dancing for 3 weeks now. I found out about it through a meetup group. the guy who is the organizer described himself as a "fun loving lawyer" so the 1st night I went, I introduced myself to him as another fun loving lawyer. The 2nd week we talked a little more and he gave me hugs hello & goodbye. The nights start with a lesson and he starts out dancing with me, but the teacher makes everyone rotate partners. So this week is the 3rd week--we ended up dancing more together at the end of the night and practicing. He's much more of a beginner than I am and he thanks me for being patient and willing to practice with him. So then he says "Do you have to go right home? Want to hang out?" It took forever to actually get out of the park where the dance is held cause he's like Mr. Social who knows everyone and keeps saying hi and talking to people--but he does introduce me to everyone. so I was thinking hey, maybe he likes me. I work in a very yuppie neighborhood and most of the places are very upscale restaurants--so we ended up in a pizza place--not exactly dressed fancy. We talked for a while--he's very funny and we have a lot in common besides being lawyers. then he throws in that he started dating someone and has no idea where it will go--well that was definitely not something that I wanted to hear. I thought it might be a long shot since I figured out right away that I'm older than him--I thought 10 yrs, but it's actually 8 yrs (he doesn't know how old I am). Even if we don't date, I still want to keep him as a friend because he is a fun nice guy and it would be fun to be with him--but it sure would be nice if he was interested. Objectively I don't even know if we would be a match, but it would just be nice to be the object of someone's affection.
