NBA Draft: Down year for sophomores
Arizona's Andre Iguodala and Flordia's Christian Drejer lead an unusually thin group of sophmore NBA draft prospects.
"That class was pretty top heavy," one NBA scout said. "With the exception of Bosh and Stoudemire, there just weren't a lot of big men. Most of the really talented players left in the class are guards. That's a little disappointing, but there are some talented kids left."
Any given sophomore class is usually pay dirt for NBA scouts. Very few players leave after their freshman year, meaning the class is mostly intact. And, with two years of college ball under their belts, the really talented sophomores are usually ready to make the jump to the NBA and make an impact right away.
This year may be a little different. "The depth isn't there quite the way we like," one scout said. "I look at every player on this list and my gut reaction is for them to go back to school for one more year. I usually can point to two or three sophomores and say they're ready. It's a little tougher this year."
He's right. With the exception of Arizona's Andre Iguodala and Florida's Christian Drejer, scouts were split on almost every other prospect from the class.
Here's a quick look at 10 sophomores whom scouts will be watching this season.

Massachusetts Price Transparency Law Problematic
Massachusetts enacted a healthcare cost control law as of Jan. 1, in attempt to require hospitals and physicians to give patients procedure costs before they decide where to purchase care, according to a WBUR report.
Providers are still figuring out how to give this information to patients. Often a specific procedural code is needed for an accurate cost estimation. Also, once patients secure the average costs, they must still figure out what that means for their insurance deductible, co-pay and more.
The law also stipulates physician give patients the price of anything they will be responsible for paying within two days of a request. The state also does not have the authority to mandate physicians comply.

Bonne Semence 2 (2) Group
Valerie will use the loan to buy larges bales of used clothing from her supplier. In Congo, used clothing is sold to local vendors in large bales and then separated out to be sold individually. Her business strategy is to offer friendly customer service to her clients.
She has received 5 previous loans from HOPE Congo. She has a good repayment record. She wants her business to continue to succeed and make a large enough profit to enable her to travel abroad. She hopes her children will continue to work and be successful adults.
Additional Information
More information about this loan
Important Information
About HOPE Congo S.A.: HOPE Congo S.A. is a start-up microfinance institution located in Brazzaville, Republic of the Congo. As of 2009, the Republic of the Congo was the 136th-ranked country in the United Nations Development Programme's Human Development Index. The average life expectancy is in the low 50s and food insecurity poses a constant threat to ordinary people's well-being. Through the creation of community banks, HOPE Congo provides credit, savings, and training for entrepreneurs in Brazzaville. With their services, they aim to nourish a culture of saving and an independent community of responsible and self-sustaining entrepreneurs.
Please note that this Field Partner does not meet all of the minimum criteria for partnership with Kiva. HOPE Congo is a start-up MFI that is being fully backed by the HOPE International with an institutional guarantee. Because Kiva lenders are fully protected against institutional failure by the guarantee agreement, Kiva felt it was appropriate to override our minimum criteria in order to access this new market.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

The toughest decision I had to make so far this summer was probably track or volleyball for my sport this spring. I still don't know which one I'm doing. I really want to try out for volleyball, but I'm afraid I'll just embarrass myself by coming back and being moved to the lower group. If I don't make it, I HAVE to do track. With track I just didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would and most of the people who had a joined had their posse so it was hard to make friends and talk to people My coach last year and my Dad want me to join, but I'm just not sure.

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD That's a great idea, but my mom said she doesn't have the money. What else can I do beside help out in the house?
Hey GL girl! Ask your mom to tell her co-workers and friends if they need someone to babysit or dogsit; offering to babysit is a sure way to make some cash!

MOD MOD MOD MOD I recently found that my favorite artist(Hunter Hayes) will be having a concert in my home state. I really want to go, but it's in two weeks! I need money to convince my mom to let me go. What are some quick ways I can make some money??? I'm 13.
Hey GL girl! Asking your parents if you can help out with chores around the house (doing dishes, walking the dog, etc) is a quick way to make cash. If your neighbors or friends need help with something (mowing the lawn, for example), that's also a great way to make some money. Hope this helps, GL girl!

United Media Lays off Ted Rall
Chalk up one more wildly talented cartoonist to be victimized by the economy.
"I've been laid off," reads the headline on the blog of cartoonist Ted Rall, president of the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists. Rall, an editorial cartoonist for Universal Press Syndicate, has served as editor of acquisitions and development at United Media for the past two years.
"My job was finding new talent -- comic strip artists, columnists and writers of puzzles -- to syndicate to newspapers," Rall writes on his blog. "Considering the circumstances, I enjoyed remarkable success. ... I am proud of what I accomplished."
In that position, Rall helped bring to newspaper pages such strips as Tak Toyoshima's "Secret Asian Man," the first daily comic about Asian-Americans by an Asian-American cartoonist, Keith Knight's "The Knight Life," and Dan Thompson's "Rip Haywire," among others. He recruited Signe Wilkinson to draw "Family Tree," and oversaw the transition of R. Stevens' Web comic "Diesel Sweeties" into daily newspaper version (which has since ended). …

Unmitigated Beauty, by Hidden City Staff
Day Four of Furness Week brings us a luscious photo essay featuring one of Furness's remaining masterpieces, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Plus we took a side trip up to the attic above the skylights–it doesn't like Grandma's!

Independence Day plus 237
"Posterity! You will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it." — John Quincy Adams
Freedom is not the default position of humankind; otherwise more would be free. In much of the world, dictatorship, religious persecution and the suppression of women are the norm.
Freedom has a price. Its currency is the blood of those who paid the bill. They can be found at Arlington, Normandy and scores of other places of rest where Americans died so that others might live in freedom.
If a nation is unwilling to pay the price for freedom, freedom dies. As Ronald Reagan observed, "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
Threats to freedom come not just from foreign powers or domestic terrorists. Subtler enemies can enslave us. These come from a focus on self: my rights, my pleasures, my money, to the exclusion of what benefits the whole, or as the Founders put it, "promotes the general welfare."
Who in our increasingly fractured country speaks of the general welfare? We are now mostly subsumed into groups. Identity politics is replacing our national identity. We are hyphenated Americans, divided by language, gender, race, class and orientation. Few are willing to stand up and point the way to what should unify us by embracing what is objectively right and good. Any political leader who attempts to define right and good can be subjected to an attack ad and stereotyping.
We are hastily exchanging real freedom for license, which is unfettered morality and as dangerous as setting sail without a rudder.
At best, freedom ought to be about doing good for one's self, and especially for others. Sacrifice does not always require one to give up something. It can also lead to an investment in the life of another person, which collectively contributes to the health of the nation. It goes beyond paying taxes. It is, as John F. Kennedy noted, asking what you can do for your country.
What does that mean? At the least it should reflect the words from one of our great patriotic hymns: "Who more than self their country loved."
Find one poor person who wants help and liberate them from poverty. If you are pro-life, volunteer at a women's pregnancy help center to save babies and help women, freeing them from the difficult circumstances that cause many to seek an abortion. If you think government is too big, become more responsible for yourself and rely less on Washington. This means living within your means and investing wisely. It's called self-reliance, which is one's own declaration of independence.
That which constrains us from being seduced by our lower nature is what guarantees our freedom. For some it is Scripture. For all Americans it should be the Constitution. In 1878, British statesman William Gladstone called the U.S. Constitution, "the most wonderful work ever struck off at a given time by the brain and purpose of man."
That document flowed from the Declaration of Independence, which presumed the existence of "our Creator," the ultimate source of freedom and our rights. Abandoning these threatens freedom.
On this, the 237th birthday of America, we would do well to remember the meaning of freedom and why it must be renewed by every generation if it is to endure.

Title: Taking a cutting from Niagara grape in Warfordsburg PA
Answered by: Barbara Medford
How do I take a cutting from a Niagara grape plant, and then re-plant that cutting?ANSWER:
Start with this University of Minnesota Extension Growing Grapes for Home Use. You have to go all the way to the bottom to "Propagation," but it's worth the trip, because there is a very good illustration of how to handle the cutting. Next, go to eHow How to Propagate Grape Vines for a description of what to do next, after you have rooted the cutting.
According to the information we could find, "Niagara" is a variety of native grapevine Vitis labrusca (fox grape). We also learned that it is the result of a cross between the Concord Grape and Cassady grape. We're not sure how that will affect the result that you get from a cutting.
This USDA Plant Profile shows that Vitis labrusca (fox grape) will grow in Fulton County. south central Pennsylvania, USDA Hardiness Zones 6a to 6b.

Description The present invention relates to batteries with polymeric electrodes, and especially such electrodes having conjugated backbone polymers as the electroactive material coated with the product of reaction between reduced conjugated backbone polymers and an oxirane compound such as ethylene oxide or propylene oxide. Conjugated backbone polymers, e.g., polyacetylene, polyphenylene, polyacenes, polythiophene, poly(phenylene vinylene), polyazulene, poly(phenylene sulfide), poly(phenylene oxide), polythianthrene, poly(phenylquinoline), polyaniline, and polypyrrole, have been suggested for use in a variety of applications based upon their characteristic of becoming conductive when oxidized or reduced either chemically or electrochemically. The secondary battery application described, e.g., in MacDiarmid et al. U.S. Pat. No. 4,321,114 (1981), employs one or more electrodes having conjugated backbone polymers as electroactive material. Such electrodes can, for example, be reversibly electrochemically reduced and complexed with alkali metal or tetraalkylammonium cations during battery cycling, most commonly with insertion of cations into a polymer anode (the negative battery electrode) occuring during charging. Generally, the more such cations are inserted, the more conductive the electrode becomes and the more cathodic the potential of the anode becomes. While higher energy and power densities for such batteries would generally be achieved by greater reduction levels of such polymer anodes, there are usually self-discharge and/or solvent- or salt-degradation reactions which occur between such a highly reduced polymer anode and typical electrolytes. Several modifications of the electrolyte have been proposed to minimize these reactions and permit high charging levels. It is desirable, however, to be relatively free of such constraints on choice of solvent and dissolved salt so that other beneficial properties such as salt solubility, free ion transport, electrolyte conductivity, solution viscosity, and stability to the charged cathode can be maximized. In particular, coatings on the anode which exclude solvent from the reduced polymer anode would permit solvents to be used which otherwise react with the reduced polymers. Coatings formed by oxirane compounds on reduced polymer battery anodes have been found to improve the stability of such anodes with respect to solvents such as propylene carbonate. It is theorized that such stability is achieved by precluding the insertion of the solvent into the anode (while the alkali metal cation inserts through the coating). Precluding solvent insertion would have the additional beneficial effects of limiting swelling of the anode on charging and limiting the required solvent amounts. Accordingly, the present invention includes a battery comprising: (a) an anode comprising a conjugated backbone polymer which has been coated when in a reduced state by contact with a monomer with a reactive oxirane group, (b) an electrolyte comprising an organic solvent and an alkali-metal salt, and (c) a cathode; alkali-metal cations from said electrolyte being inserted into said anode during the charging of said battery; with said coating being of sufficient coverage on said anode to substantially exclude contact of the electrolyte solution with the active anode material. The polymer which forms the electroactive material of the anode of the present battery may be any of a variety of conjugated backbone polymers. The polymers disclosed specifically in U.S. Pat. No. 4,321,114 may be used: polyacetylene (PA), polyphenylene (PPP if in para form), poly(phenylene sulfide), poly(phenylene vinylene) and polypyrrole. Other conjugated backbone polymers, claimed by others to be useful in batteries, may also be used in the present invention: polythiophene, polyazulene, poly(phenylquinoline), polyacenes, poly(phenylene oxide) and polynaphthalene. As a general matter, conjugated backbone polymers stable when reduced and complexed by alkali metal cations are highly preferred, with all the above listed polymers qualifying on this basis except, perhaps, poly(phenylene sulfide), poly(phenylene oxide) and polypyrrole. Polyacetylene and poly(p-phenylene) are the most preferred polymers for the present electrodes. The electrodes need not be limited to the conjugated backbone polymer, but rather may contain other constituents such as metallic or graphite conductivity aids and current collectors, inert binders or mechanical supports and non-polymeric electroactive materials. In many electrodes, however, the conjugated backbone polymer is a major proportion, or even essentially all of the bulk material and of the surface which is coated by the reaction product of the oxirane compound. The coating of the present polymeric electrodes is difficult to characterize by its own structure, and therefore can best be understood as the product of reaction between a donor-doped (reduced) conjugated backbone polymer and an oxirane compound. It is possible that the oxirane compound forms graft polymers (e.g., poly(ethylene oxide) chains covalently bonded to the polymer anion). It is possible, but not necessary, to have the conjugated backbone polymer chemically donor-doped prior to such reaction. For example, by prior chemical doping with organometallic compounds such as butyllithium, ethylsodium or the like (as described in copending commonly-assigned application S.N. 556,718 of Ronald L. Elsenbaumer et al., filed herewith) being suitable. In many embodiments, the anode is electrochemically reduced so as to be inserted with alkali metal cations and then exposed to the oxirane compound. In addition, the oxirane compound may be present in solution during the electrochemical reduction. Suitable oxiran compounds can be illustrated by the formulae ##STR1## wherein R may be independently hydrogen or any monofunctional organic moiety unreactive with reduced polymer. Examples include ethylene oxide, propylene oxide and 1,2-butylene oxide. Also suitable are multifunctional epoxides such as the diglycidyl ether of various aromatic diols (e.g. bisphenol A) or polyols (e.g., the diglycidyl ether of poly(propylene oxide)). The method of surface-coating may consist merely of leaving the charged electrode in contact with a solvent containing or consisting of the oxirane compound for a controlled period. It is generally desirable, in order to achieve adequate surface-coating, that the polymer be doped to an extent of at least that sufficient to reduce its electrochemical potential to 1.0V (versus a reversible lithium reference) or less, although lesser reduction levels (higher potentials) may be adequate provided that the reaction is given a longer period of time to occur. It is not required that the coating occur in a battery configuration, since, for example, a series of electrodes can be chemically doped in the manner of application S.N. 556,718 or electrochemically doped, and then placed in a bath containing the oxirane compound. Similarly, a series of electrodes can be each connected electrically to a source of alkali metal (e.g., a lithium electrode) in a bath containing oxirane compound and a solvent in which is dissolved a lithium salt. The reaction of reduced polyacetylene with ethylene oxide has been described by G. F. Dandreaux et al. at a March 1983 conference, with a view toward forming solid electrolytes. See Org. Coatings & Appl. Pol. Sci. Proc., vol. 48, page 541 (ACS 1983) (Preprint for Paper Presented at March 20-25, 1983 Meeting at Seattle, Washington). No use of the coated polymer with liquid electrolytes is suggested. Furthermore, once the surface coating is formed, it is not necessary that the electrode remain reduced; and it may, in fact, be subsequently freed of inserted alkali-metal cations by battery cycling. In such event, the coated electrode can be assembled at a later time into the battery of the present invention. It is preferred, however, to leave the surface-coated polymer electrode with at least a minimal amount of incorporated alkali metal cations so that the high resistance of the undoped polymer need not be overcome on subsequent doping or redoping. It is also generally preferred that the reaction occur in the housing of the ultimate battery or immediately before placing the electrode in such housing. Once the surface-coated polymeric electrode is formed, it may be used in a variety of batteries. Three common uses of the polymeric electrode are as an anode versus an acceptor-doped (oxidized) polymeric cathode (which is inserted with anions during charging), as an anode versus an inorganic ion-insertion cathode such as a transition metal chalcogenide (which is intercalated by alkali metal cations during discharging), and as a cathode (inserted with alkali metal cations during discharging) versus an alkali metal anode (which is plated by alkali metal such as lithium during charging). Several illustrative battery configurations are tabulated in Table I below, with the ratios representing proportions of solvent to oxirane compound. It is preferred in all instances that the conjugated backbone polymer be polyacetylene (PA). Furthermore, it is preferred that such anode be inserted either with lithium cations during charging or with sodium cations during charging, with potassium cations being next most preferred. In general, the co-insertion of solvent with alkali-metal cations into uncoated electrodes is greatest with lithium and least with potassium.

Preferred salts for the electrolyte of the present batteries are of the formula MA where M is Li, Na or K and A is BF4, PF6, ClO4 or CF3 SO3. Hexafluorophosphates are most preferred. The battery cathodes may be either oxidized conjugated backbone polymer (inserted by anions during charging), transition-metal chalcogenide (inserted by alkali metal on discharging) or other conventional ioninsertion cathodes for non-aqueous batteries. Suitable transition metal chalcogenide cathodes are those listed on page 392 of "Lithium Batteries" edited by J. P. Gabano (Academic Press, 1983) and in K. M.

Such polymers may be coated by reaction, when oxidized, with pyrroles, thiophenes, azulenes, anilines or furans, as described in copending, commonly-assigned application (S.N. 556,720), filed herewith, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. Samples of polyacetylene (PA) film prepared from the Shirakawa catalyst (H. Shirakawa and S. Ikeda, Synth. Met. 1, 175 (1979/80)), were wrapped in platinum gauze and potassium doped by exposing them to a tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution of potassium naphthalide from 15 min. to 16 h. They were washed repeatedly with dry THF and evacuated prior to a 15 min. exposure to about one-half atmosphere of ethylene oxide gas. The weight increase of the polymer during the procedure varied from 10 to 100% depending on the doping time. A cell was constructed with lM LiClO4 in propylene carbonate using a ethylene oxide coated, lightly doped PA sample as the cathode, 2 cm2 of Li foil as the anode and glass filter paper as the separator. A constant current of 13 μA was allowed to pass between the electrodes so that Li metal was oxidized at the battery anode to Li+ cation and PA was reduced at the battery cathode to PA-. During the 37.4 h discharge, the cell voltage fell from 1.7V to 0.3V and remained below 0.4V for the next 6 h at open circuit (OCV). A potential of 1.0-2.5V was applied to the cell, now with an internal resistance of 100-160 Ω, causing current to flow in the opposite direction for 16 h so as to recharge the cell to an OCV of about 2.0V. The charge passed on recharge (undoping of PA) corresponded to a maximum of 3% doping of CH units in PA. The ratio of recharge to discharge, coulombic efficiency, was 47% The recharge of the next cycle (3% doping) was performed 19 h after the discharge (at which time the OCV was 0.41V), with coulombic efficiency of 95%. Higher rates (82 μA=1.0% per hour) and higher doping levels (discharge=5.2% doping) were attainable in a similarly-constructed cell having as current collector, instead of platinum gauze, a 20 nm layer of gold sputtered onto one side of the PA before reaction with ethylene oxide. A cell comprised of 7 mg of PA (1.4 cm2) wrapped in platinum guaze, 3 cm2 of Li foil counter electrode, 0.5 ml of lM LiClO4 in dry propylene carbonate and a glass filter paper separator was cycled between the voltages of 0.4V and 2.5V. The capacities (and coulombic efficiencies) were 4.1% (55%), 1.2% (25%) and 0.87% (42%). Patent Citations

Pictures of Halle and Nahla

Not true #2 Anon. Nahla's hair is usually back in a pony tail. Sorry that it wasn't for you for their transatlantic flight from the UK and please learn to spell.So, what if Gaybriel is gay/bi and nothing more than Halle's closeted paid sperm donor? She said it in Vogue-no love.

Not true...Nahla's hair is usually back in a ponytail and learn to spell. Yes Aubry is Halle's closet gay paid sperm donor, so what. Which is funny, because Halle still thinks she can pull off him being straight i.e. the Jamie Foxx crotchgate and her whatever it was with her co-star. Also, total bs about her paying him to watch her child--the real nanny was there with them and usually is when Aubry has the kid.
