Kevin Pietersen is still the butt of our jokes, says Graeme Swann
Graeme Swann was last night at pains to stress that Kevin Pietersen is still the butt of his fair share of jokes in the England dressing room and that the batsman's "reintegration" process is going well.
The England spinner was depicted in many quarters as one of those with whom Pietersen needed to make his peace before belatedly signing a new central contract and then being added to the squad for this tour. "Kevin's reintegration has been a seamless process," Swann said, "and it needed to happen. Everyone was wondering how it would go and whether it would be as easy as it has been.
"In the changing room, no one is safe from the humour that flies around – and he's the butt of as many jokes as Cooky [Alastair Cook]," added Swann. "He takes it fine. It's been great.
"A lot of credit has to be given to Kevin for the way he has come in. The dressing room is a very happy place this week. That's what we need to be; if we are going to have a chance of beating India over here."
As for Swann's own well-being, he knows he will have to deal with match-winning expectations in these conditions but also be patient at times too. "There's always pressure on the spinner when you play in India, because people assume in the subcontinent all the wickets will be big turners," he said.
"You've just got to deal with that in your own way, because we know that a lot of the wickets over here are exceptional batting surfaces – at least to start, and then turn later.
"Often in the first innings you have to take a more defensive role and support the seamers and then later on, if there is turn and bounce, you come into your own."
He is hoping for a happy return to the country where, after several years outside the England reckoning, he marked his debut with two wickets in his first over. Since that entrance in Chennai, he has rarely looked back – and is now just one short of the great Jim Laker's career tally of 193 Test wickets, the most by any England off-spinner.
Stuart Broad was set to captain England for the first time since his elevation as Cook's Test deputy in England's second warm-up match which gets under way this morning. Cook is being rested as the other batsmen are given a chance for time in the middle.

What? No comments?
Just diversifying a little bit.
But I still like both.
TSLA has been and continues to amaze.
I consider TSLA an "emerging market" stock since the product sold is an emerging market product.
I know that foreign markets, with fast growth, are considered emerging markets.
Those can be called emerging markets as well.
Buy you can lose all of your EM gains on currency devaluations so, look-out below, for those "sound good" foreign investment ideas. Just remember why I just bought BAMM.
Happy investing to all.
& Don't slip in all of that fresh snow.
I liked PCLN at .70 cents many years ago and am a good customer.
It's great to trade investing ideas in here.
This is why these message boards exist.
BKS is looking better and a rising tide floats all boats.
I like book sellers, in general, now.
Time will tell.
BAMM competes with Costco, as far as book sales and videos, & games go.
I like Costco and highly recommended it.
Time will tell. So I bought some BAMM recently.
They are attempting to get some "new technology" going.
Are they really going to trade this one on a Saturday?
Oh no.
What is a money order?
I like trading this dropping old junk.
Too bad I need to take away all of your money.
Shares of BOX will go as low as $14.88 TODAY.
Will later close near the high of the day.
(in my opinion)
Sentiment: Buy
You said "You're in a trap but you can still get out. In a few months, it's going to hurt a lot worse."
That message is for yourself. Go look in the mirror and say it loudly.
This is what makes the stock market.
Thanks for buying my sell order.
We'll see now, won't we?
Going below $4.00 next...
More "Up-Side" potential.

Latinos want gov't to look into LA County voting redistricting
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Obama administration is aggressively pursuing lawsuits over minority voting rights in Texas and North Carolina, but the Justice Department has not moved on evidence that the latest round of redistricting in Los Angeles County unfairly reduces the influence of Latino voters.
Nearly half the 10 million people in the nation's largest county are Latino. But political boundaries redrawn in 2011 make it possible for Latino voters to elect just one of the five supervisors.
The administration has resisted calls to sue the county, despite the county's history of discrimination against Latino voters in earlier redistricting efforts.
The inaction rankles some Latino activists who count themselves as strong backers of President Barack Obama.
"I support the Obama administration and the president, but frankly, Obama and the top people around him seem to be unaware on this issue. Obama is somewhat blind to the issues of Latinos," said Cruz Reynoso, a former California Supreme Court justice and member of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. Reynoso said the administration seems more attuned to voting rights complaints of African-Americans.
He said the administration also appears reluctant to pursue a complaint against a jurisdiction that is dominated by Democrats. "Most of the folk in Los Angeles have been supporters of the president, so why make them unhappy despite the fact that, from my point of view, there is great injustice going on," he said.
In the wake of a stinging U.S. Supreme Court defeat in June that rendered useless an important enforcement provision of the Voting Rights Act, the administration has focused its voting rights resources on Southern states that are controlled by Republicans.
The Justice Department has initiated or joined suits targeting voter identification laws and redistricting plans in North Carolina and in Texas, where Republican Attorney General Greg Abbott began moving to put the state's tough voter ID law into effect just hours after the high court's decision.
The suits were filed under other provisions of the voting rights law that were not part of the Supreme Court case.
The situation in Los Angeles County predates the high court decision and the passage of the laws now being challenged in North Carolina and Texas.
The Justice Department acknowledges it is looking at the situation in Los Angeles, but otherwise declined comment.
"We have received significant amounts of information from the county and others about the issue and the matter is still under review," said Justice Department spokeswoman Dena Iverson.
Matt Barreto, a political science professor and voting rights expert at the University of Washington, said the evidence against the county is overwhelming and includes a history of racially polarized voting that has hurt Latinos.
"My perspective is that this is one of the easiest cases to be made nationally," said Barreto, who has worked for the group of Latinos that includes Reynoso. Barreto also served as a consultant to the California Citizens Redistricting Commission, a voter-approved independent board that draws the state's congressional and legislative districts.
Counties, though, retain the authority to devise their own districts. Nowhere is there more power and money at stake than in Los Angeles, where each of five supervisors represents nearly 2 million people and the county's annual budget tops $26 billion.
Following the 2010 census, the board adopted districts in 2011 that made relatively few changes even though two supervisors cautioned that their colleagues were exposing themselves to a voting rights lawsuit.
Gloria Molina, the only Latina ever elected to the board, and Mark Ridley-Thomas, the board's lone African-American member, supported maps that would have created a second district with a majority of Latino residents. But the two members could not persuade their three white colleagues to join them.
"Today this board had an opportunity to make history, not repeat it, but all signs indicated that they would repeat history, and unfortunately, they did," Molina said in 2011.
Molina was elected after a federal court documented political discrimination against Latinos dating back to the 1950s and drew a map to ensure Latinos would be represented.
Yet since that vote, Molina has not aligned herself with the loose association of activists and voting rights experts who are pushing for greater Latino representation. Her spokeswoman, Roxane Marquez, said Molina continues to back two majority Latino districts, but otherwise had no comment on possible Justice Department intervention.
Ridley-Thomas told Bill Boyarsky, a columnist for LA Observed, that he wants the Justice Department to get involved.
The map Ridley-Thomas proposed in 2011 would have increased the chances of making the Los Angeles board more diverse, said redistricting consultant Alan Clayton. Ridley-Thomas' map would have preserved his district, created a second district likely to elect a Latino and increased the odds that an Asian-American candidate could be elected, Clayton said.

George Takei's Hopeful Words For Detroit: 'More Power To You!'
By Chris Azzopardi
Originally printed 7/11/2014 (Issue 2228 - Between The Lines News)
George Takei isn't foreign to the alien kind. As Sulu on the original "Star Trek," he fended them off. Now, Takei's taking on a different kind of outsider - the Motor City - and he's glad to see a new generation of human inhabitants safeguarding it.
"Detroit is the urban basket case of America," Takei told me in our recent chat to promote his documentary, "To Be Takei." "There are people like you who really believe in the importance of not losing Woodward Avenue and its great public monuments. Like the Roman ruins, I see evidence of a once great city."
Dropping area lingo like "Michigander" (impressive, Sulu!) and even mentioning the Renaissance Center, the actor's no stranger to the city. In 2012, his inimitable speaking voice accompanied the Detroit Symphony Orchestra for "A Sci-Fi Spectacular."
Takei recalls his many visits to the Motor City, particularly time spent at the RenCen: "If they want to revitalize that area," he thought at the time, "they made the absolute wrong decision. Here's a beautiful complex, and then you put Fort Detroit around it - the utilities were built into a wall surrounding the complex - and so if the savages are on the other side, you wanna be on the inside, and you can't get the ripple effect of revitalization. There should have been retail pedestrian life so that the investment being made in that Ren complex would ripple out to the rest of the city. But when you build a fortress wall around it, that's not gonna help at all.
"You know," he continues, reflecting on the city as a whole, "there have been so many wrong decisions made."
Though he's aware Detroit filed for bankruptcy in July 2013, the actor says he's hopeful the area can seek out new life. Takei is already observing change, and he specifically notes business entrepreneur Dan Gilbert, who's purchased downtown establishments in an effort to help the city live long and prosper.
"Trying to get young people to live in the city and bring 24-hour life to Detroit - I think it's fantastic," he says. "And you're one of them. Congratulations, and thank you to you. I'm hopeful and I appreciate people like you putting up the good fight there. I think now that you've reached nadir, it's gonna be all uphill. The real pioneers, the early pioneers who are starting to revive Detroit - more power to you!"
You hear that Detroit? The power of Sulu is within you.

Santa Cruz Home's 'Bale Raising'
For "Gotta Bale," the Off the Grid story in our October 2012 issue, we visit the Santa Cruz, California, home of college professors Bernie Tershy and Erika Zavaleta. Though there's a lot that makes this Arkin Tilt Architects–designed home green, a key feature is the staw-bale insulation on the street-facing wall of the home. Arkin Tilt has a score of straw-bale houses under its belt and the firm shared a few behind-the-scenes shots with Dwell to help us understand just how Tershy and Zavaleta's house came together.

'Feast in the House of Simon' Series
With its powder-coated frame, subtly beveled top, bright hues, and no-frills minimalist feel, the Feast in the House of Simon table is firmly planted in the present day. It might surprise you to learn, though, that it traces its roots to a c. 1475 oil-on-wood painting by Dutch artist Dieric Bouts.
Architect Marcel Beaudin
Vermont-born architect Marcel Beaudin never planned to design buildings. Trained as a draftsman for the monuments his family's granite-quarrying business produced, Beaudin was working as a junior designer of tombstones and mausoleums in New York when a fellow sculptor introduced him to Le Corbusier, who was in New York designing the United Nations headquarters at the time. Thirty seconds in Le Corbusier's studio convinced Beaudin to drop his pursuit of sculpture and enroll in the School of Architecture at Pratt Institute in 1949.

Knoxville 'so happy' he was drugged at UA frat house
While at the University of Arizona filming a promo for his new prank-style movie "Bad Grandpa," "Jackass" star Johnny Knoxville says he was drugged, according to The Huffington Post.
I was dressed as Irving (the "Bad Grandpa" character) and was sitting in the audience with the students, and people kept handing me drinks and someone dosed me with Ecstasy. About 30 minutes into the screening, my heart starts racing and I'm like, 'I am X-ing right now, someone dosed me.' I was so happy, because I haven't done X since my 20s. For the rest of the shoot I was just a train wreck, and we got a lot of funny stuff.
Knoxville may have gotten "a lot of funny stuff," but he also got an injury.
The actor ruptured a tendon in his left hand when he attempted to do a stunt while still high on the party drug.
Knoxville even tweeted from the UA campus, posting a photo of him as "Bad Grandpa" Irving Zisman being hoisted to a basketball net by a large group of students.

— Johnny Knoxville (@realjknoxville) September 7, 2013
TMZ caught up with Knoxville as he returned to the States and he revealed how "awesome" the drug-induced event was.

While Remy Ma is starting her prison bid and Foxy Brown was just recently released from hers, fellow female MC Lil' Kim is gearing up to release a new album. Not heard from on a mainstream music tip since her September '05 album, The Naked Truth, the Queen Bee has leaked the first potential track off her forthcoming, currently-untitled LP. Respirator, which encompasses Kim's infamous sex appeal, that damned voice-box effect and some Storch-esque Indian drums, sounds more like an experimental voyage than a radio-ready smash. Regardless, once this makes its rounds in the music game, Kim will likely figure out whether or not her career is on life support.

Surgeons must help in death investigatons
The move to tighten monitoring of hospital death rates was announced by Baroness Jay, a health minister, in the first official response to the Bristol heart surgery case currently being considered by the General Medical Council.
The announcement surprised officials at the unit that monitors deaths after surgery, who warned that making participation by surgeons mandatory could lead some to lie.
Ron Hoile, of the National Confidential Enquiry into Perioperative Deaths (deaths within 30 days of surgery) said: "The point [of having a voluntary system] is that we hope people will be honest. We are concerned that coercion will produce untruths."
There are about 18,000 deaths a year following operations, of which one in ten is investigated.

Brewer also will have to convince the Legislature, whose Republican leaders are leery of the proposal.
"We're not going to just push it out the door," House Speaker Andy Tobin said Wednesday. "She's the executive and she has her plan. But a lot of members have great concern about how this actually rolls out and how it affects the budget."
Brewer plans to pay the state's share — $154 million in the 2015 budget year — by assessing hospitals using the bed tax. The idea is that hospitals that now have millions in uncompensated care will pay the tax and receive much more than that in insurance payments by treating the newly insured. Federal payments that year are estimated at $1.6 billion, or $1.9 billion if childless adults who lost coverage following recent state rule changes are reinstated, according to Brewer's office.
Some hospitals that serve fewer indigent patients have objected to such taxes in the past, but Brewer said she had an unspecified plan to get their backing.
"We understand that there are some hospitals that are not serving that population," Brewer said. "That doesn't mean that they're not on board with what we are doing in regard to the Affordable Care Act."

Friday 11 October 2013
Four years on from their last outing and nearly 25 years after forming in Seattle, the grunge survivors deliver their 10th album – and it is a work of contrasts. Openers "Getaway" and "Mind Your Manners" are gutsy, full-blooded blasts, but these soon give way to several soft, contemplative ballads.

It is getting very hot in the QSR breakfast space, with Taco Bell's extensive menu launch last week, Dunkin' Donuts' recently released version of Eggs Benedict and McDonald's two-week offer of free coffee underscoring the battle.
Now White Castle is hinting at an impending launch that could be the ultimate in breakfast mash-ups — waffle sandwiches.
A day before April Fools' Day (take it with a grain of salt, in other words), the brand updated its Facebook cover photo to showcase the three new offerings ("coming soon"). They include a sausage, egg and cheese waffle sandwich, a chicken and waffles sandwich and a bacon, egg and cheese waffle sandwich.
These items are just as they sound — with everything served inbetween two waffles acting like a bun. That's all the information available at this time.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Men's mouth-watering love of shiny things explained
I have come to the conclusion guys have a lot in common with crows.
It's not that we are harbingers of doom, although that may be true of certain guys. I'm talking to you, Justin Bieber and Rob Ford.
It's more that, like crows, we just can't resist collecting shiny objects.
I am a typical guy in that regard. A few years back, for example, I bought my wife what I believed in my heart was the perfect Christmas gift -- a skintight silver-sequin dress that was so shiny your retinas would burst into flames if you looked at it without wearing sunglasses.
My wife, however, was immune to the hypnotic appeal of this shiny frock. After unwrapping the dress, she scrunched up her face the way you would if your puppy had just had an accident on the living room carpet.
She squeezed into the shiny dress once, shimmied into our den, executed a death-defying spin, then scowled and sniffed: "I look like a (bad word) disco ball!"
It was the one and only time my wife has risked our lives by venturing into the sea of mall-shoppers on Boxing Day to return an unwanted gift.
Unable to learn from my mistakes, last Christmas I gave my wife another present I believed any woman in her right mind would die to possess -- a pair of metallic silver high heels with a mirror gloss finish.
I have seen lots of shiny things in my life, but I had never seen anything as remotely shiny as these silvery stilettos, which had heels the length and sharpness of Olympic javelins. When you looked directly at these incandescent shoes, you saw your own moony face staring back at you from their gleaming surface.
Out of politeness, my wife tried them on and, after nearly sustaining a crippling pelvic injury while tottering shakily around the living room, banished the shiny shoes back to the store from whence they came.
Today's sociological point, however, is my intense crow-like attraction to shiny objects pales when compared with that of a shining star named Attila Bassett, who is a guy and the owner of a nightclub in Victoria, B.C.
According to a news story I just read in the Victoria Times Colonist, Bassett bought himself a $200,000 Ferrari F430 Spider, then, because the car just wasn't shiny enough for a guy like him, spent another $13,000 to have the sports car (why not?) wrapped from top to bottom in mirror-like chrome.
"I am head over heels happy with the results," he chirped to the Times Colonist. "I like to step outside the box. I know it isn't for everyone, but if you spend your life worried about how everybody thinks, you will never live your dream."
Yes, whereas my car has shiny chrome door handles, every (bad word) inch of Bassett's Ferrari is covered in a blinding chrome finish. I have stared with unvarnished envy at photos of this vehicle, which looks like the world's largest Hot Wheel, one of those shiny metallic toy cars that drove guys like me wild with desire in the '60s.
What's even more exciting is a team of Belgian scientists -- in a shining example of scientific coincidence -- have just figured out why guys of my gender are genetically obsessed with shiny things.
According to a story in Britain's Daily Mail I read and partially understood, this team of scientists -- we will assume they are mostly guy scientists -- discovered shiny things remind us of our inbuilt desire for water.
You will think I am making this up, but I am not. These scientists conducted a series of experiments, including one wherein they divided 126 volunteers into three groups: One group ate a bunch of crackers without any water; another ate the crackers but also drank some water; the third group did neither.
When the test participants were asked to rate eight photographs -- half of which were on glossy paper and half on matte (non-shiny) paper -- all three groups preferred the glossy photos, but the groups that had eaten the crackers rated them as much more attractive.
The more crackers they ate and the thirstier they got, the more they liked the glossy pictures, which led one of the scientists to reach the following conclusion:
"It is humbling to acknowledge that despite our sophistication and progress as a species, we are still drawn to things that serve our innate needs -- in this case, the need for water."
So there you go, guys who love shiny things. It all comes down to our primal need for water. I know some of you think the whole thing is crackers and, scientifically speaking, hard to swallow.
Call me a typical guy, but I can't help thinking it's really something to crow about.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — It was a new day in Minnesota basketball, with Ricky Rubio throwing lob passes and Kevin Love stuffing the stat sheet in front of sellout crowd after sellout crowd.
And just when it appeared the Timberwolves had finally turned the corner from one of the league's most woeful franchises to an exciting, up-and-coming group, Rubio's left knee buckled, and so did one of the most exciting seasons in the franchise's mostly nondescript history.
A 21-19 start gave way to a 5-21 finish, and now the Timberwolves plunge headlong into a crucial summer with Love and coach Rick Adelman telling anybody who will listen that big changes have to be made.
Team president David Kahn said Friday he plans to be aggressive this summer in trades and free agency to supplement a promising young core with veterans, and he made it clear that only Rubio and Love are untouchable as he tries to bring an end to a seven-year postseason hiatus.
"They're cornerstones of what we're doing here, and my fervent hope is that each of them retires here," Kahn said of Rubio and Love. "But after those two, and not that anybody else needs to be on watch, and there are a lot of other players on the team that all of us, coaches, management, front office, everybody likes. We just have to be very aggressive this year to make this team all that it can be and satisfy ourselves that we've done everything possible to do that."
That Kahn did not include center Nikola Pekovic or No. 2 overall pick Derrick Williams in that group of untouchables speaks to his openness to consider all options. Pekovic had a breakout season, averaging 13.9 points and 7.3 rebounds to emerge as one of the top offensive centers in the league. Williams showed some promise as a scorer, but wore down as the season dragged on and both players are on the books for an affordable $9.6 million combined next season.
"I think we have to be very aggressive in what we're doing," Adelman said earlier this week. "You can't wait. You hope your young people get better. But that's not a given. Other people in free agency and trades are givens. We've got to be aggressive in all those areas."
Rubio had surgery to repair torn ligaments in his left knee in March, and the team is hopeful that their precocious rookie point guard will be ready to go by the start of next season. In his first season after coming over from Spain, Rubio was everything the Timberwolves hoped for and more, setting the tone on both ends of the court, becoming a major box office draw and injecting the team with some much-needed charisma and energy.
"I think that's the one thing that I underestimated when he got hurt," Adelman said. "You knew you were going to be missing something, but he had a huge impact on the way our team was and their personality and the way they played. Just the way he was, I did not realize how much we'd miss him and what a gap there was all of a sudden."

Fast-growing data miner ClickFox raises $18M
- Urvaksh Karkaria , Staff Writer
An Atlanta-based software company that helps businesses improve customer experience has raised about $18 million from Morgan Stanley and other investors.
ClickFox Inc. helps Fortune 2000 firms analyze customer interactions — whether they occurred at a store, online or over the telephone.
Using that data, corporations can improve the customer experience, helping boost satisfaction, reduce churn, lower costs and boost revenues.
The fast-growing Georgia Tech spin-off plans to expand into Europe and roughly double its workforce.
Customer experience is critical for corporations, ClickFox CEO Marco Pacelli said. "It's all about retaining the customer and lowering the cost." ClickFox has saved a major global bank more than $2 billion over the past five years, Pacelli said, declining to identify the company.
Through a software subscription service, ClickFox collects and analyzes data on customer interactions from multiple departments in a company.
For instance, ClickFox analyzes the experience a bank customer has in a retail branch, when he makes a follow-up call to the bank's help line, or initiates a Web chat with an agent. The data is analyzed for patterns and potential customer service problems that the bank can improve upon.
ClickFox technology also uses behavioral analysis to predicts future customer experience.
"Everybody has data on everybody," Pacelli said. "But, no one can make sense out of the data. It has no value, because there's too much of it and you can't figure out how it ties together."
"As Morgan Stanley put it, we have found the holy grail that makes data valuable," Pacelli said.

What do you think of the photo?
Relevant offers
When Danu Sefton showed someone a photo she had taken of her 7-year-old daughter Madeleine in a bathtub, she hardly expected to get a knock on the door from the police.
The image also struck a chord in the photography industry, with the Palmerston North UCOL student taking out a silver at the New Zealand Institute of Professional Photography Awards.
But not everyone was on the same wavelength, calling it a depiction of child abuse.
"Some people in my class said I needed to stop what I was doing.
"I have been held and shaken because of it."
Some had asked if Madeleine understood about consenting to be in photographs.
Sefton said her daughter was always more than happy to be in photos. "She's been in theatre since she was 4 - she understands make-believe.
"If she wasn't competent at understanding those things, I wouldn't have asked her to be in a picture."
The bathtub was full of warm water at the time and her daughter was fully clothed.
"What kid doesn't want to be told to put their clothes on and jump in the bath?"
Sefton, in her second year of a bachelor of applied visual imaging at UCOL, said she had the idea for the image in her head for some time.
She took the photo during a semester break to "capture that in-between state" between life and death.
Several people came to understand where Sefton was coming from, but one person had not and had complained to the police.
So they knocked on the door, asking to see any pictures of Madeleine that were online.
"It was on a Saturday before ballet and we were having pancakes, but we both weren't feeling too good, so we were in our dressing gowns and they knocked on the door," Sefton said.
But they immediately saw there was nothing to worry about.
"They saw it and said 'oh, that's art'," she said.
"It's nice to know the police are art literate as well."
Despite the police presence, Sefton said she always knew she would be all right.
She had books of research about the photography style she was trying to emulate and had not gone out to harm her child.
"I felt secure that what I had done wasn't wrong."
There were far worse pictures that people put online or in the public sphere, she said.
"What about kids naked running around the garden?
"I'm not responsible for people who have bad motives."
The picture had a meaning for Sefton, but she said she tried to keep that out of it.
"Everybody has their own story about that picture."
She said she was not concerned someone had called the police.
"Imagine if it was a case where something was going wrong."

Are they partially dehydrated? Or maybe seasoned with some kind of chemical? I mean the shredded kind that come in boxes, not the deep-fried QSR formed hash brown.

Are My Black Potatoes Still Good To Eat?
Monday, November 25th, 2013Q. I cut up vegetables and put them along with a chuck roast in a freezer bag, to have a meal ready for the crock pot when I had surgery. I took the bag out of the freezer last night, dumped the ingredients in the crock pot and refrigerated until this morning. It has been cooking on low for 5 hours and all of the potatoes are black. After researching, I found I should have blanched them first. Are they still good to eat?
