This one has a double whammy! Second part of this is The Cell phone obsession we are all addicted to for some stupid reason. What is so important to not consider, Drunk or sober, that when you fiddle around with a cell phone, accidents happen. Even on a bright perfect day, what ever the call was about, wait and return the call when you pull over and park. Nobody is missing a call, incoming calls are all recorded, and can be called right back if you pull over and stop.
These babies drowned a horrible death from another fool who couldn't control his drinking or stupidity of having to answer a phone driving in bad weather. I hope he rots for it a long long time. Put him in a cell with cellphone ringtones playing 24/7, until he dies from old age. I would have no problem with the death penalty for him.

Play Video Video:Five are dead in the Houston floods KVUE-TV Austin Play Video Video:Houston flooding leaves five children dead AP By JUAN A. LOZANO, Associated Press Writer Juan A. Lozano, Associated Press Writer – 37 mins ago
HOUSTON – Police filed intoxication manslaughter charges Sunday against a driver who lost control of his car while using a cell phone, plunging the vehicle into a rain-filled ditch and killing five children inside.
Chanton Jenkins, 32, was in police custody facing four counts of intoxication manslaughter, one charge for each of the children found dead so far, said Houston police spokesman Kese Smith. Police said a relative told them Jenkins was the father of three of the victims.
Jenkins failed a field sobriety test following Saturday's crash, which occurred after heavy rain turned the ditch into a torrent. The results of a blood alcohol test were pending, Smith said.
It was unclear if Jenkins had an attorney.
The search was continuing for the missing victim, a 3-year-old girl. A dive team searched a bayou for the child Sunday afternoon, Smith said.
The bodies of three boys — ages 4, 7 and 11 — were found inside the vehicle. A body believed to be that of a 1-year-old girl swept away from the car was found Sunday.
The car crashed into the ditch about two miles from the point where it feeds into Greens Bayou, a waterway that begins in northern Harris County and flows eastward and then south for about 40 miles before emptying into the Houston Ship Channel.
Jenkins and another adult escaped from the vehicle, along with a 10-year-old girl.
It took 2 1/2 hours to find the car in the ditch, which had filled with 9 1/2 feet of fast-moving water, and it was close to midnight before the current had eased enough for a dive team to recover the boys' bodies and discover that the girls had been swept away, Smith said. Police said the vehicle was swept 100 feet from the spot where it left the road.
Police said the adult passenger, who is Jenkins' brother, told police Jenkins was the father of four of the children, including the girl who escaped.
Jenkins' brother told police rain was falling heavily when Jenkins answered a cell phone. He said Jenkins lost control when he hung up the phone and the car flew down an embankment into the ditch, Smith said.
Family members and friends searched for the girls' bodies Sunday, walking with police officers along the ditch, by then no longer filled with raging waters. At least 30 family members and friends gathered at the accident site and at one point some gathered in a circle and prayed.
"We know they are not going to be found alive. But we're hoping that they can just find them," said Cheri Smith, 40, whose cousin is the mother of the two little girls. The girls, who were sisters, were cousins of the other children in the car, she said.
Cheri Smith said the family was focused on the search and not the circumstances that led to the accident.
At least one other traffic death was blamed on the powerful storms that swept across southeast Texas.

Re: which part of Hadoop is responsible of distributing the input file fragments to datanodes?
I guess you means to set your own strategy of block distribution.
If this, just hack the code as following clue: FSNamesystem.getAdditionalBlock() ---> BlockManager.chooseTarget() ---> BlockPlacementPolicy.chooseTarget(). And you need to implement your own BlockPlacementPolicy.

I don't know Sophia Teutschler. I've never used one of her apps. In fact, the only time (prior to now) I'd ever heard of her was when I read her profile on The Setup. But I recently read about what she did to her customers, read every single comment on her two blog posts about it, and what follows is what I think of it.
A translation from Sophia-speak to you-and-me-speak:
There's a lot of rage and profanity making its rounds in the comments, hopefully this will restore some sanity.
You people are fucking pissed.
First of all I'm sorry for the confusion about the upgrade policy and version number. The License dialog clearly states 3.0, whereas the new version is labeled as 2.5.
The problem is you, not me, and for that I am sorry.
However, this is the first paid upgrade ever in the four years that CoverSutra exists. My intent is not to make some quick dollars, it's to sustain the development costs of an app I love and use daily.
Though you paid for this app already, over the past four years I've managed to run out of money.
Sophiestication Software now has five different products on sale, three new apps are currently in work. It's obvious that I can't handle the workload on my own. In fact I've been looking for developers for months now and luckily found suitable people to help me with Groceries, Articles and some future apps. I hope to find yet another developer to work on all these cool new features and UI/UX concepts I have in mind for CoverSutra. The App Store sales in the coming weeks and months will tell.
I'd like to pay people to write more software, other than the application you'd already purchased.
The Mac App Store is actually the best that could have happened to CoverSutra. Selling an app like CoverSutra outside the store is very hard due to the lack of overall traffic. That's why Mac application prices where usually much higher compared to iPad and iPhone apps. This might work great for some developers, but for an iTunes extension even $10 is considered by most people way too much to ask for by most people.
I will completely ignore the fact that all of you already bought this product and discuss how hard it is to sell it without an App Store.
It's true that I could have made version 2.5 available through the legacy Sparkle updater. But maintaining two builds, one for the App Store and one with the serial number checks, was too time consuming for me. Precious time better spend on the actual update and my other apps.
Even though I have the code to support both the App Store AND the legacy distribution channel, it would require at least some work to support both.
Charging $5 for this update is fair. I don't think, nor did I ever think of, that this is a rip-off. You also have to admit that I'm definitely not so stupid to break promises by intent. If I thought of that license text I would have simply declared this new version 3.0. Calling me a liar is simply wrong and way over the top.
Charging you $5 more for an app that you already paid for is fair. If I had it over again I would have just made the version of this app 3.0. Hell, now that I think about it, I could have called version 2.0 version 3.0 and charged you for it. You basically owe me for not doing that.
Which brings me to trust and reputation. So many people told me through the comments and twitter that they lost their respect for me. But seriously, what kind of reputation did I have if it's lost so easily? Didn't I prove often enough that I'm fair and not interested in any fishy marketing tactics?
I'm going to manipulate this situation to make it seem like you're the asshole.
I don't care about being called names but what I find really humiliating is the fact that some of you really seem to believe that I lie and screw my customers or anyone else in the world. I had enough opportunities in my life to get rich quick the dirty way, but I have enough self respect no to do so.
Honestly, it hurts. Please ignore reality and stop saying I lied.
Sophiestication Software is not about making money, it's about making great apps. Or to be more precise: Make money to keep making apps. The App Store proved to be a wonderful way to sustain this, and I'm sure the Mac App Store will do so to.
Sophiestication Software is not about making money. Sophiestication is about making money. The App Store will make me money.
It's obvious that many of you are simply overreacting. Overreacting to some text I wrote over three years ago and forgot about until this thursday.
It's obvious that many of you are simply overreacting. Overreacting to some text I wrote over three years ago and will now claim to have forgotten about.
You are beneath me.

I was brought up in a home that had no books. My hard-working parents were so involved in keeping a roof over our heads and food on the table that there was no money for books and little time for reading. Sounds a bit like a sketch from "Monty Python", doesn't it?
Fortunately for me , they saw the benefits that a good education can produce and, over the years, I attended four tertiary institutions to gain academic qualifications, the final one being a Ph.D.
I had a period in the British Army ( Intelligence Corps), serving mainly in Europe.
I ran a marathon once – and once was enough!
I taught in 2 Primary schools and specialised in English in three High schools and three uni's.
Publishers in The U.K. , Australia and the U.S.A have been brave enough to publish 14 of my books- all educational - mostly non-fiction, factual stuff. I've also written children's stories, and recently quite a few e-books. I've enjoyed it and it's kept me out of mischief!

I'm in the middle of purchasing a home to renovate. The porch is a bit of an eyesore so I would like to install brick around it and make the pillars on each end brick. Here is the house now: One of the problems is the concrete slab is cracked, which is what's causing the awning to dip on the left hand side. It's hard to tell because of the angle of that photo, but it dips several inches. Here is an example of how I would like it to turnout: I would appreciate any advice on how to replace the pillars, repair/level the porch, etc. Thanks in advance.
You want to check the structure under the deck it looks like the bricks under the deck have shifted a little. Before adding the money and weight of the brick, You need to prove that the footing and structure are good enough
Make sure porch floor is solid first. Support roof line with screw jacks and restore the level. Survey porch roof framing to make sure it is sound. Remove post and replace with steel column that is bolted into floor and porch framing. Lay brick as desired around column up to the level line. Repeat for other side. You have now converted a really pretty framed porch into an ugly bricked porch. Nice.

I want a smoothie recipe that tastes like V8, suggestions?
Title says it all.
My husband said he'd probably drink something like this. I'm craving V8! I go grocery shopping in a few days, so I'd love a great recipe! Point me in the right direction, or recommending a recipe out of a cookbook would work as well.
I haven't made these, but I found some info you might like.
http://www.goneraw.com/node/14866 (scroll down to the last post)
Just tried Joanna's last suggestion and am enjoying it right now. I just blended it all up (using 1 carrot, small piece of beet, 1 tomato etc.) since juicing is not my thing (too much waste!!). Yummy
Yum, I think my husband will like that too.
i think i'm gonna make it now, too!! haha i have never tried a veggie smoothie but i'm open to it. i rarely juice because i feel like i waste so much and never end up using my frozen pulp.
that recipe looks good - i think ill give it a go!

These basic ankle soreness and wrist pain workout routines will reduce stiffness and promote the creation of synovial fluid in the joint capsule, which aids lubricate the joint for increased liberty of motion.

- The form definition file
- Field widget
- Labels
- The sitemap
- The WoodyTemplateTransformer
A simple Woody example
Here we will show how to create a form by showing a "registration form" example.
Here is a screenshot of the form we're going to create:
This example is included in the Woody block, you may want to play with it first before reading the explanation below.
The form definition file
Below the form definition file is displayed. This lists all the widgets in the form, together with their configuration information.
<wd:form xmlns:wd="http://cocoon.apache.org/woody/definition/1.0" xmlns:i18n="http://apache.org/cocoon/i18n/2.1"> <wd:field id="name" required="true"> <wd:label>Name:</wd:label> <wd:datatype base="string"> <wd:validation> <wd:length min="2"/> </wd:validation> </wd:datatype> </wd:field> <wd:field id="email" required="true"> <wd:label>Email address:</wd:label> <wd:datatype base="string"> <wd:validation> <wd:email/> </wd:validation> </wd:datatype> </wd:field> <wd:field id="age"> <wd:label>Your age:</wd:label> <wd:datatype base="long"> <wd:validation> <wd:range min="0" max="150"/> </wd:validation> </wd:datatype> </wd:field> <wd:field id="password" required="true"> <wd:label>Password:</wd:label> <wd:datatype base="string"> <wd:validation> <wd:length min="5" max="20"/> </wd:validation> </wd:datatype> </wd:field> <wd:field id="confirmPassword" required="true"> <wd:label>Re-enter password:</wd:label> <wd:datatype base="string"> <wd:validation> <wd:assert test="password = confirmPassword"> <wd:failmessage>The two passwords are not equal.</wd:failmessage> </wd:assert> </wd:validation> </wd:datatype> </wd:field> <wd:booleanfield id="spam"> <wd:label>Send me spam</wd:label> </wd:booleanfield> </wd:form>
All elements are in the Woody Definition (wd) namespace.
The children of the wd:form element identify widgets. As you can see, most of the widgets are "field" widgets. The "field" widget is the most important widget in Woody, so lets look at it in a bit more detail.
Field widget
A field widget can be associated with a datatype. The function of the datatype is to convert the string value entered by the user to a more specific type like a number or a date (and vice versa, convert them back to strings). The datatype will also perform the validation. (This split-up between "widget" and "datatype" is specific for the field widget -- it is perfectly possible to make widgets that have nothing to do with datatypes). In this way, a field widget contains strongly-typed data. For example, if you associated a "long" datatype with a field widget, then you can be sure that when you retrieve the widget's value, you will get a Long object (that is, if the form was validated successfully).
The reasoning behind the "base" attribute on the wd:datatype element is that you are actually defining a new datatype, based on the built-in "string" or "long" datatype, and customise it with validation rules (and possibly other parameters).
A datatype can furthermore be associated with a selection list. This makes that the field widget could be rendered either as a textbox or a list, depending on whether its datatype has a selection list. For an example of selection lists, see the "Form1" example provided with Woody.
If we wouldn't make this datatype and selection list associations, we would need to create specific widgets for each possible combination: StringField, LongField, DateField, StringSelectionList, LongSelectionList, ...
A nice feature is that the wd:label tags can contain mixed content. On the one hand, this can be used to provide rich formatting in the label. But it also enables you to put i18n-elements in there, to be interpreted by the I18nTransformer. This way, internationalisation is done using standard Cocoon techniques.
The sitemap
Here is the relevant sitemap fragment for handling the registration form:
<map:match pattern="registration"> <map:select type="request-method"> <map:when test="GET"> <map:act type="woody-make-form"> <map:parameter name="form-definition" value="forms/registration.xml"/> <map:parameter name="attribute-name" value="registrationform"/> </map:act> </map:when> <map:otherwise> <map:act type="woody-handle-form-submit"> <map:parameter name="form-definition" value="forms/registration.xml"/> <map:parameter name="attribute-name" value="registrationform"/> <map:generate type="serverpages" src="forms/registration_success.xsp"/> <map:serialize/> </map:act> </map:otherwise> </map:select> <map:generate src="forms/registration_template.xml"/> <map:transform type="woody"> <map:parameter name="attribute-name" value="registrationform"/> </map:transform> <map:transform type="i18n"> <map:parameter name="locale" value="en-US"/> </map:transform> <map:transform src="xsl/html/woody-default.xsl"/> <map:transform type="i18n"> <map:parameter name="locale" value="en-US"/> </map:transform> <map:serialize/> </map:match>
It works as follows:
- based on the request method (GET or POST), we decide whether this is a first-time request of the form or whether this is a form submit
- in case of a first-time request, the "woody-make-form" action is used, which will simply create a form instance and put it in a request attribute (this is a storage area that lasts for the duration of the request)
- in case of a form submit, we use the "woody-handle-form-submit" action. This action will also create a form instance, and let it process the request and validate it. If validation was successful, it returns non-null (so that the contents of the map:act element will be executed), otherwise it returns null (so that the pipeline below the map:act will be executed).
- in case of successful validation, we simply execute an XSP page. In "real-life" situations, this may also call an action, do a redirect, or whathever.
- in case validation failed, or in case the form is displayed for the first time, the pipeline below the selector is executed. How this works is described in the next section.
The WoodyTemplateTransformer
The publishing pipeline for the form starts from a template file. Here's the template for our registration form example:
  <title>Registration form</title>

The Woody-specific elements here are in the "Woody Template" (wt) namespace.
The wt:widget-label tag will cause the label of a widget to be inserted at the location of the tag. The wt:widget tag will cause the XML representation of a widget to be inserted at the location of that tag. The inserted XML will be in the "Woody Instance" (wi) namespace.
The XML representation of the widget will then be translated to HTML by an XSLT stylesheet (woody-default.xsl in our case). This XSLT only has to handle individual widgets, and not the page as a whole, and is thus not specific for one form but can be reused across forms.
For certain widgets it may be necessary to provide extra presentation hints, such as the width of a text box, the style of a selection list (drop down, radio buttons, ...) or class and style attribute values. This can be done by putting extra elements inside the wt:widget element. Currently there's not much implemented yet, but what's available will be documented in a reference section.
As an alternative to the template approach, you could also use the WoodyGenerator, which will generate an XML representation of the whole form, and style that with a custom-written XSLT.

Fall garden
Hello, I usually just lurk on this forum but wanted yall's suggestions. This is going to be my first fall garden in many years. I always do a Spring garden only but as prices continue to go up and 2 of my grown children have moved back I would like to go ahead and do the fall/winter garden this year. I live in zone 8, NW Louisiana and would love ideas from everyone of what to plant for this garden. Anything that is just a must and any info you could give. I have a good bit of land but would like to just keep it in my original 100'x 100' veggie area. This is just for family use this year. Thanks in advance for any advise.
We garden in Central Texas, zone 8B and have always had a fall garden. In September we put in three kinds of leaf lettuce (Black-seeded Simpson, Ruby, and Oakleaf), edible pod peas, crookneck squash, broccoli transplants, radishes, and bush beans. In October we second plant the leaf lettuce and put in parsley, garlic, and onion seed (1015), and spinach. Then in November we do another planting of spinach.
Cabbage and cauliflower can be planted in October from transplants, but since we don't use much of either, we don't bother with it.
Good luck with your fall garden. I hope it will be very productive for you!
Greenthunbsj and marlingardener, thanks for your suggestions.
I like the lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, peas, beans, onions, garlic ideas. When do you plant carrots? are they ok. Are all beans good for fall(pintos)? Still accepting ideas. LOL. I'm getting hungry. :O)
Thanks again,
mcbdz, The link below shows Louisiana Vegetable Planting Guide (in case you may not have this). I've used this guide for quite a while. I have a paper copy of the original version with a publish date of 1980. This guide has been very helpful for knowing when to plant. It's also possible to sometimes (weather permitting) "stretch" some of the planting windows.
Hope this helps out.
Here is a link that might be useful: Louisiana Vegetable Planting Guide
I stopped growing carrots because they never get any longer than the size of my thumb. they get much fatter but last year I tried daikon for the first time and had good success(was a bit hot for my taste but I was told it was due to heat so I will plant them at semi-shade this year). I guess I will give another go with carrots but i have not had a single good crop ever.
I did plant broccoli and cauliflower seeds that should be ready for transplant in a month or so - I forgot to mention this :)
We plant Danvers Half-long carrots in the early spring. The one time I tried them in the fall they got woody cores. I don't know if it was the garden, the gardener, or the variety, but I haven't tried a fall planting of carrots since. The spring ones do great, though!
I've planted various onions, various lettuce, mustard, various spinach, bok choy, kailen, swiss chard, beets, radishes and kohlrabi. I have parsley going strong that I planted in the shade in summer. Cilantro just got planted. I need to get the turnips and more radishes in this weekend. Haven't ever tried to grow carrots since I only use them occasionally and only in soup.
If I can make any more room, I will plant arugula and more asian greens.
I'm almost ready to plant, after my superb yard man builds up the sides of my raised beds this week. If nothing else I will have lettuces, lettuces and more lettuces. I grow mostly leaf lettuce and a mesclun mix, but my spring crop of varieties of Romaine lettuces did extremely well, so I'll be doing lots of them too. Chard has done well for me here, and I may try some garlic. Radishes will have a spot too. I don't know where you are in Louisiana, but if your climate is anything close to mine here in coastal Georgia you may be able to keep lettuce going all winter unless you get a really hard freeze. My lettuces have survived frosts very happily with a sheet tossed over them at night, and so would spinach, chard, etc. Keep us posted on what you decide to plant!
Lacinato kale and tronchuda cabbage/kale is really good in soups. Other brassicas: bok choy or pak choi, mustard greens, collards, Brussels sprouts, savoy, green and red cabbbages, broccoli, cauliflower and radishes. You may be able to grow potatoes too. Leeks, shallots, scallions, garlic (bulbing onions are considered more difficult) grow well in cool temps. Also parsley and chives. And English peas, sugar snap peas and snow peas like cool weather.
There are garden books with charts showing how many pounds of produce you can expect per square foot (potatoes are very high, onions too) and consider what it would cost if you bought it (potatoes and onions are cheap where I live but I like to grow varieties that are commercially unavailable and the convenience of having them just outside my door).
Thanks everyone for all your advice. I hopefully can make it by one of my farm supply stores and see what they offer tomorrow.
It has been raining here for over a week and the soil is so wet I don't think I'll get to till for days or maybe a week. I do hope to get started next week.
I hurt my back this summer gardening and will have to really stay on top of the garden and do some cheating with round up for the edges and rows for now on. That is really different. I usually love to weed but, I'll be lucky to harvest myself this year. Maybe I can get some of the kids to do something. LOL. I'll let you know what I find and decide on. Most likely will need advice again.
Hope everyone has great gardens this fall/winter
Pattie, on the carrots question, last year I planted Nantes and Danvers Half Long. Prior to this I only planted Danvers Half Long. I prefer the Nantes based on taste, shape and color. So this year I'm only planting the Nantes. I find carrot seeds at the several dollar stores (Dollar General, Family Dollar, Dollar Tree to mention a few). They have a large selection of open pollinated type seeds but rarely any hybrids. I usually plant mostly the OP types for carrots, spinach, radishes, lettuce, etc.
I am so glad to see this many southerners on here!
This is my first year ever for a fall garden and it's being interesting...some successes and some failures. So far I have a really good stand of turnips, collards, cabbage, Bright Lights chard, beets and bunching onions. I have had major trouble getting the lettuces, spinach, and kales to germinate. I replanted the kales inside in 6 packs and every seed came up....still too hot outdoors. I decided to try re-planting the lettuces, carrots and spinach in late September. I have invested in floating row covers and they are doing a great job of keeping insects off my seedlings. From what I read, they should make it possisble to grow most of these veggies through most, if not all of the winter.
FYI, two years ago I grew some beautiful romaine lettuces and carrots all winter long in window boxes.
I had way way too much chard seeds than I could use so I put them into compost and now they are everywhere. I have some that are about the size of a store cabbage but they grow to be about 18" tall. I noticed that chard do very well even in summer but they need plenty of water.
"GREENTHUMBS..... if youre in zone 9, i doubt that the chard will germinate and/or survive the heat... i tried it three weeks ago, in zone 7, and they didn't make it. chard is a truly cold weather crop. good luck."
Hmmm....mine germinated outside in 100+ degree weather.
Everyone's already listed about everything I know that you can grow in winter except dill and fennel. Those prefer cool weather as well.
And on the subject of the onion family ~ you can plant bunching onions, potato onions, shallots, walking onions, leeks, garlic and chives from plants or sets now (bulbs, corms, etc.), but I wouldn't plant bulbing onions from anything but seeds right now. If bulbing onions are two years old (or is it three?), they'll flower, so if you plant sets now and they go through a full winter, they'll think they're old enough to flower and will do that by spring. If you plant seeds now, they'll still act like they're young next spring and won't flower (or won't flower nearly as much ~ there's always an oddball it seems). If they flower you can still eat the bulb, but it'll have a tough flower stalk through the middle of it. Ick. And a pita to cut out.
Hello all,
I am planting my first Fall garden in SW GA. I planted "Detroit Dark Red" beets, "Ruby Queen" beets and "Nantes Scarlet" carrots last weekend. I planted "De Cicco" broccoli (transplants), "Summer Glory Blend" lettuce (from Park's), "Bloomdale Longstanding" spinach and "Tendergreen" mustard today.
Grandad, I'm glad to read that the "Nantes" did well for you. I hope it performs well for me.
I do have a question.....The University of Georgia Cooperative Extension Service Planting Chart did not recommend planting garden peas in the Fall in Georgia. The listed planting dates are between 1/15 and 2/15. Have any of you planted garden peas successfully in the Fall? I am planning to plant "Laxton Progress #9" garden pea.

Jennifer Lopez is reportedly trying to ban her 'Jenny From The Block' video - because it stars her ex-fiancé, Ben Affleck.
Sources claim the Latin diva, who is now happily married to singer Marc Anthony, wants music TV channels MTV and VH1 to pull the steamy video - which features her and Ben canoodling on a boat - from their schedules.
According to America's Us Weekly magazine, J.Lo's staff have reportedly told the channels the promo must "not be considered or shown."
Friends of the sexy star have alleged she wants the video banned because new husband Marc is jealous.
Earlier this week, Jennifer arrived alone at the Paris premiere of her new film, 'Shall We Dance?', which co-stars Richard Gere and Susan Sarandon.
However, she was later reunited with Marc - who had entered the theatre earlier - at the after-show party, where they cuddled in a booth and danced together.
But J.Lo, who plays a ballroom dancing instructor in the film, claimed there was "no tangoing at home."
She said: "I left that at the set when I was done."

text: Close Tweet0 Share0 Comment0 Share0 Share0 Stumble It0 Print0 More Point Forward Fan strips off Tayshaun Prince jersey after learning of trade to Grizzlies by Ben Golliver Twitter Email Posted: Thu Jan. 31, 2013 By Ben GolliverI'll cop to getting totally lost in the salary cap implications and luxury tax calculations that surrounded Wednesday's three-team trade that sent Rudy Gay to the Raptors. Let's allow this fan of Tayshaun Prince to remind us, in painful fashion, that players are still people capable of making a human impact and not just contract numbers in a spreadsheet.The Fox Sports Detroit broadcast of Wednesday night's game between the Pistons and Pacers captured a man wearing Prince's No. 22 Pistons jersey, waiting eagerly for his favorite player to take the court with his teammates before the game in Indiana. When Prince (and teammate Austin Daye) never appeared because they had been dealt to the Grizzlies, the man began checking his phone, only to learn the trade details, which had just broken less than an hour earlier. Upon discovering the horrifying truth, the man stripped off his jersey to reveal a Kentucky t-shirt, surely worn in honor of Prince's collegiate contributions as a Wildcat.Prior to Wednesday, Prince had spent his entire 11-year pro career with the Pistons, winning a title in 2004. The move clearly marks an end of an era for the Pistons, for Prince, and for this man's jersey, which was shoved to the ground under his seat, likely never to be worn in public again. Or, at least not until the inevitable jersey retirement ceremony once the 32-year-old Prince decides to call it a career.

Update through 11/6/13
- Details
- Created: Friday, 08 November 2013 14:29
3090 TNR cats have been sterilized since the start of the program 8/1/11. To date we have 200 permitted colony managers with 3270 feral colony cats documented.
We are in contract negotiations again. A local ballot initiative that we participated in, 1a, failed on Tuesday. It would have provided stable funding for us and 5 other non-profits running government owned facilities. We were very disappointed it failed as now we are in the same position as last year. We hope the city and county can find a resolution to this issue so we can stay in Pueblo. I will keep you updated.
Hope you are doing well and as always- we appreciate your continued support for cats in Pueblo!

Last Serb war crimes suspect appears at U.N. court
THE HAGUE (Reuters) – Serbia's last major war crimes suspect refused to enter a plea on charges over the 1991-1995 Croatian war when he made a brief first appearance at the U.N.'s Yugoslavia tribunal on Monday.
The arrest of Goran Hadzic, 52, and his transfer to The Hague last week were a symbolic moment for both Serbia and the Balkans region, ending an 18-year manhunt to detain all 161 suspects indicted by the Yugoslavia war crimes court.
AkzoNobel vows action to boost flagging profit
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – Dutch chemicals group AkzoNobel (AKZO.AS: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) promised new, unspecified measures to improve its earnings as it reported a 10 percent drop in second-quarter core profit, hurt by rising costs and weak demand.
The world's biggest paints company was hit by faster-than-expected increases in prices of raw materials such as pigments and oil-related resins and solvents.
U.N. court orders Thai, Cambodia troops from temple area
THE HAGUE (Reuters) – The United Nations' highest court ordered Thailand and Cambodia on Monday to pull their soldiers out of a newly defined demilitarized zone around a disputed temple, and to revive talks to resolve the decades-old conflict.
Tens of thousands of villagers on both sides have been relocated, and 18 people killed in fighting between Cambodia and Thailand since February, when tensions flared again over ancient Hindu temples.
Dutch state failed to prevent Srebrenica deaths: court
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – The Dutch state is responsible for the deaths of three Muslim men after the fall of Srebrenica during the Bosnian war, a Dutch appeals court ruled on Tuesday, opening the door to compensation claims.
The ruling will touch a raw nerve with the Dutch, whose troops were in charge of the U.N. "safe area" of Srebrenica and were accused of cowardice when Bosnian Serb troops overran the enclave in July 1995.
Angry Mladic ejected from U.N. war crimes court
THE HAGUE (Reuters) – Ratko Mladic was ejected from the courtroom at the U.N. war crimes tribunal on Monday after the former Bosnian Serb commander heckled the judge when he read out a charge of genocide and entered a not guilty plea on his behalf.
Mladic, who appeared in the dock despite earlier threatening to stay away, demanded to appoint his own lawyers and tried to delay entering pleas to 11 charges relating to the 1992-5 Bosnian war. It was his second appearance in The Hague since his capture in Serbia six weeks ago ended 16 years on the run.
Angry Mladic removed from Hague courtroom
THE HAGUE (Reuters) – Former Bosnian Serb army chief Ratko Mladic was removed from the U.N. war crimes court at The Hague on Monday after refusing to enter a plea and disrupting the judge's attempts to read out the charges against him.
The judge later entered formal pleas of not guilty on behalf of Mladic to the various charges against him, which include genocide, and relate to the 43-month siege of the Bosnian capital Sarajevo and the massacre of 8,000 Muslim men and boys in Srebrenica — Europe's worst massacre since World War Two.
Serb general Mladic to boycott war crimes court
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – Former Bosnian Serb army commander Ratko Mladic will boycott the U.N. war crimes court, where he is scheduled to enter a plea on Monday against charges of genocide during the Bosnian war, his lawyer said on Sunday.
Arrested in May after 16 years on the run, Mladic formally was charged by the Yugoslavia tribunal in The Hague last month when the defiant general rejected war crimes charges against him as "obnoxious" and "monstrous."
Dutch group to buy bankrupt DSB's German portfolio
AMSTERDAM, June 30 (Reuters) – Dutch investment group
Novapars Capital said on Thursday it has agreed to buy the 115
million euro ($163 million) German loan portfolio of DSB Bank,
the first sale of the bankrupt Dutch bank's operations.
DSB was declared bankrupt in October 2009 after it was hit
by a liquidity crunch when clients withdrew about one-sixth of
the group's deposits. The company was later seized by the Dutch
central bank, DNB, and its assets are under administration.
USG People plans cut jobs, sees no divestment
AMSTERDAM, June 29 (Reuters) – Dutch staffing firm USG
People (USGP.AS: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), hit by weak growth in its home market, said on
Wednesday it will announce another round of job cuts next week
to boost margins but has no plans to sell any of its businesses.
USG, which is Europe's fourth-largest staffing firm by
revenue, makes 38 percent of its revenues from the Dutch market,
where the public and financial sectors were hammered by the
financial crisis and by government budget cuts. [ID:nLDE73J1I8]
"Game over" for Gaddafi in months – prosecutor
TRIPOLI/AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – Libya's Muammar Gaddafi could fall within two to three months, the International Criminal Court's prosecutor said on Tuesday, as rebels sought to build on a gradual advance towards Tripoli.
The ICC's Luis Moreno-Ocampo, who on Monday announced an arrest warrant for Gaddafi on charges of crimes against humanity, is the latest international official to say the Libyan leader would soon capitulate to a NATO-backed revolt.

We as humans sometimes play roles in the nurture or wanton destruction of these ecosystems that play so vital a role in keeping our planet with its fauna and flora intact, either unwittingly or for pecuniary gains.
I believe that activism in the form of raising voices, signing petitions and addressing issues with authorities against practices that go against the tenets of maintainence of a healthy ecosystem, should we ever encounter evidence of interests wanting to tamper with the checks and balances that keep our ecosphere ship-shape, wherever in the world it be, would be the goal of Team Eco-issues.

Why Are Millions Of Fish Suddenly Dying In Mass Death Events All Over The Planet? Michael SnyderActivist Post Millions upon millions of fish are suddenly dying in mass death events all over the world, and nobody seems to know why it is happening.
In many of the news reports that are linked to below, locals are quoted as saying that they have never seen anything like this before. So is there a connection between all of the fish deaths that are now occurring all over the planet? Bs1999bs. The "Fiscal Cliff" Avoided says the News One has to question exactly where our World community is heading when our leaders, collectively, offer very little incentive for their fellow men and women to adopt more enlightened strategies.
As it is, the same short-sighted, unsustainable and unfair policies and practices will continue and "the walk to the cliff edge" will be repeated as the debt mountain climbs still further and our collective future becomes distinctly terminal. The real issues will go unaddressed; how ridiculous one of our richest nations has become so completely and hopelessly in debt that it will tinker "round the edges" leaving it for future generations to address. Meantime the extravagance for many will continue unabated and the waste will continue – but who really cares? Big and powerful vested interests will continue to frustrate initiatives to promote sustainability. CharlesMoore_2009U.mp4 (video/mp4 Object) EU beefs up electronic waste recycling. The European Parliament has been criticised for waving through revised rules on the disposal of electronic equipment without including any provision to promote the reuse of old equipment.
As a result of last week's vote, member states will have to increase their collection of e-waste beyond the current flat-rate target of 4kg per person per year, so that by 2016 they will instead have to collect 45 tonnes for every 100 tonnes of electronic goods put on sale three years previously. By 2019, this target will rise to a collection rate of 65 per cent of sales from three years previous, although countries have the alternative of collecting a comparable figure of 85 per cent of all e-waste generated. In a statement, the parliament said better processing of e-waste would not only reduce the amount of potentially toxic waste sent to landfill or illegally exported overseas, but lead to greater recovery of valuable raw materials.
'They're killing us': world's most endangered tribe cries for help. Loggers strip trees from Amazonian tribe's territory Link to video: Loggers strip trees from Amazonian tribe's territory Trundling along the dirt roads of the Amazon, the giant logging lorry dwarfed the vehicle of the investigators following it.
The trunks of nine huge trees were piled high on the back – incontrovertible proof of the continuing destruction of the world's greatest rainforest and its most endangered tribe, the Awá. Yet as they travelled through the jungle early this year, the small team from Funai – Brazil's National Indian Foundation – did not dare try to stop the loggers; the vehicle was too large and the loggers were almost certainly armed. All they could do was video the lorry and add the film to the growing mountain of evidence showing how the Awá – with only 355 surviving members, more than 100 of whom have had no contact with the outside world – are teetering on the edge of extinction.

He is the deadliest American sniper ever, called "the devil" by the enemies he hunted and "the legend" by his Navy SEAL brothers.
From 1999 to 2009, U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle recorded the most career sniper kills in United States military history. The Pentagon has officially confirmed more than 150 of Kyles kills (the previous American record was 109), but it has declined to verify the astonishing total number for this book. Iraqi insurgents feared Kyle so much they named him al-Shaitan ("the devil") and placed a bounty on his head. Kyle earned legendary status among his fellow SEALs, Marines, and U.S. Army soldiers, whom he protected with deadly accuracy from rooftops and stealth positions. Gripping and unforgettable, Kyle's masterful account of his extraordinary battlefield experiences ranks as one of the great war memoirs of all time.
A native Texan who learned to shoot on childhood hunting trips with his father, Kyle was a champion saddle-bronc rider prior to joining the Navy. After 9/11, he was thrust onto the front lines of the War on Terror, and soon found his calling as a world-class sniper who performed best under fire. He recorded a personal-record 2,100-yard kill shot outside Baghdad; in Fallujah, Kyle braved heavy fire to rescue a group of Marines trapped on a street; in Ramadi, he stared down insurgents with his pistol in close combat. Kyle talks honestly about the pain of war - of twice being shot and experiencing the tragic deaths of two close friends.
American Sniper also honors Kyle's fellow warriors, who raised hell on and off the battlefield. And in moving first-person accounts throughout, Kyle's wife, Taya, speaks openly about the strains of war on their marriage and children, as well as on Chris.
Adrenaline-charged and deeply personal, American Sniper is a thrilling eyewitness account of war that only one man could tell.

I am a married Mother of 1 Son and 2 Step-sons. I have never served in the military and honestly do not have any close ties to the Military, other than my Father who served in Korea and a cousin who was killed in Vietnam during the TET offensive.

I have strong feelings about the war on both sides of the issue, I respect others thoughts and opinions as their own; but no matter what I respect and support the courage, strength and patriotism of each and every member of our Military. I begin this review this way so that you can see I am a regular Jane.
This book is written from Chris Kyle a Navy SEal's perspective. It is about his life growing up in Odessa Texas and follows him through his life as a Navy SEal, from BUDS training to the war in Iraq and life during and after from his POV. If you are looking for fluff, BS and watered down opinions this book is not for you. Chris tells it like he saw it good, bad or indifferent from his POV. During the reading of this book I cringed, I smiled, I chuckled, I felt uneasy and a bit queasy, I cried and felt sad, but I was completely engaged the entire time. At no point did I feel lost or feel like I did not understand something. (Keeping in mind I am just a regular Jane); Chris explains acronyms, procedures and operations as the story moves along and talks in plain "Texan". Peppered throughout the book, Taya, Chris' wife gives us a heartfelt view of life with Chris. My heart could only bleed for her, Thank you Taya and "God Bless" you for all that you sacrificed for your country. And Chris for the record though you say (several times I might add) throughout the book that you do not consider yourself a "Bad Ass".........Uh Chris, you were a FEARLESS BAD ASS, period end of subject.
I am glad I decided to read this book; as honesty goes, Chris does not pull any punches and truly seems sincere in all his accounts of how things went down. I am not by nature one to believe everything I read and use quite of a bit of discernment as a rule, but at no point did I feel that anything but the truth as Chris saw it went from pen to paper.
Thank you Chris and every single person at home or deployed who Stand and Protect our great country. And thank you to all the Mothers, Fathers, Sisters, Brothers, Wives and Children who sacrifice so those brave men and woman can do just that.
This is a must read for anyone who wants to read a firsthand account of the sacrifices the men and women of our armed forces endure on a daily basis.
"A different world"
Military people are not understood. Chris managed to give an insight to their world.
This is a fantastic story of the reality of our Navy Seals. I hope it brings comfort to other Seals and families. I also hope it will bring an understanding of our freedom to life peacefully in US because of men and women who dedicate their lives to serve our military. I am forever grateful.
"A must read for Active Duty, Veterans, and family"
This book is a riot, Chris Kyle... I salute you. I am 82 ABN veteran, and this book sums up all the emotions that somehow Veterand cant figure out how to explain to anyone, even ourselves. This book made me laugh made me smile and made me understand, it also made me Proud to be an Amreican, something the Author would be proud to know. It also made me very proud to have worn the Uniform with pride and respect.
Let's face it, these authors aren't paying me, so there's no need to lie!!
"Raw, Real, and flows well"
I've read most of the audible books on SEALS. This is the best by far. It doesn't go into too much detail on SEAL stuff, but gives you just enough to tell the story. And oh what a story it is! Chris has lived a VERY exciting life. He gives insight into the way a SEAL thinks, and even criticizes the leadership quite a bit. This book is good for the military man, as well as the civilian; pretty much anyone who has an interest in the SEALS as people....not so much their tactics.
"An emotional and riveting biography."
Breaking down the wall and mystique behind the lives of America's warriors. The book brings you into the life of a warrior and patriot, not just on the side of combat, but the raw emotional side of his and his wife's life throughout multiple deployments. Emotional, personal, and revealing. RIP Chris Kyle.
"Rough and tumble Texas boy makes USA proud"
This book is a fascinating account of someone that lived a horrifying scenario without blinking. A Navy Seal, a man, a dad, a patriot, and a Christian which laid his life on the line for his fellow fighting forces, and in his belief his country, all to prevent evil from succeeding. Say what you want to about agreeing with the man, but call him a true man and a hero in the process. He is non-political. He is just a man that answered a call to duty from his country, and was extremely lethal at the task given. This single minded soul, concentrated on the task at hand and accomplished what we asked of him.
If you are looking for a book that questions patriotism, the reasons the USA went to war, move on to another book. However, if you want a glimpse in to a well trained mind that had a little fun along the way, and a few hardships, then this is a great book for you.
"Good story but the narration killed it for me"
Could not recommend
The Texas accent that the narrator adopted felt forced, wasn't that good and was unnecessary. After several hours of listening to words pronounced without the trailing letter G, I couldn't take it anymore. Messin and drivin and divin and shootin got old.
"Entertaining listen."
I really enjoyed this book, it's very entertaining, however I ended up detesting Chris Kyle!
He really comes off as a jock Red-neck and confirmed to me why America gets such a bad rep overseas. I find it very frustrating that he could not see the irony in his complete lack of empathy with the Mujahideen. I could not help but draw some huge parallels with a man who sported a Crusaders cross on his forearm and who's priorities were listed "God, Country and then Family" with the Muslim extremist he was gunning down.
Don't get me wrong, I think they were doing a job that had to be done, however I think Chris Kyle and other Americans felt they were fighting a holy war as much the Jihadists!
If like me your view of The SEALS has been tainted by this guy, check out Adam Brown's book, he really does completely renew your faith!
"Almost like being there."
A great listen, John Pruden's narration is spot on, his drawl is exactly what I would imagine Chris Kyle's voice is like. Every step of the way your alongside Chris listening to the thoughts of a proud and patriotic man giving an insight into his war. Theres a bit of technical detail but not too much to turn people off. In the end it's all about what he was feeling when he was doing his job, killing insurgents and watching colleagues die.
Thanks for sharing Chris.
"Mixed feelings"
Sometimes it reads like dull autobiography, sometimes like warrior legend, and other times as a unintended satirical portrayal of himself.
Nevertheless, this book also offers a good
description of American's dogma of their exceptionalism and its roots.
Great book and brilliantly narrated. I would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to know the real story of Chris Kyle, it makes you see even more how well Bradley Cooper portrayed him.
"Interesting story"
An interesting view of how a soldier sees war, his enemies and life in the U.S. navy seals. Worth listening to
This one kept me listening for hours, love this, one of my favorites, probably the best one, Chris Kyle rest in peace mate, I saw the movie first and I just had to see his story, and a few bits were blown out of purportion, wish they could of fit more things in, how he saved marines, but I like it how he doesn't see himself as better as everyone else.
"Amazing guy"
Unbelievable amazing story total respect for Chris Kyle he was an absolute hero.highly recommend the book and the film best I have ever watched.
"propaganda and arrogant"
This book is a propaganda of American war in Iraq and the arrogance throughout the book is shocking. There is no reason for the war and the killings are made like a game.
"Honest, balanced a quite gung-ho!"
I listened to this book over a weekend only stopping for food, prayer and sleep. This, in contrast to many hard-man books, is about an attitude not about a man, about two relationships - love, duty and being all that you can be without pretence. I'm glad I listened to this audio book; I am, unexpectedly, uplifted and confirmed in my own beliefs. That is loving sacrifice leads to liberation and reconciliation. A great man, a fantastic wife and an ethos that everyone should aspire to. Buy this book.
"Fantastic audio book, a must have."
A very good story, well narrated. Glad I listened to this before seeing the motion picture that everyone has been talking about.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

@feasting – I know what you mean. I bet that name brand clothing distributors make a fortune, because they can sell their items at high prices just because of the name that is on the label.
I have noticed that there isn't much discrepancy between prices of brand name jeans at different stores. The only time that the prices vary is when certain stores have clearance sales. This is when I like to go shopping, because I really hate paying $40 for a pair of jeans.

Soul Do Mato at Bougie's This Thursday
Categories: Local Music
Honest and heartfelt with a laid-back, "stop, sip some booze and listen" sort of appeal, it could be said that SDM's music lies somewhere along the lines of Jack Johnson, or at times, Mat Kearney. But they make it their own.
Started in 2005 and not fully formed until '07, the five-piece Soul Do Mato (which is Portuguese for "of nature," and not yet another pronunciation for tomato), comprised of singer and rhythm guitarist Ravhi DeMello, lead guitarist Robbie Carroll, drummer Doug Carroll, saxophonist Frankie Jurado and bassist Greg Andrews, have tapped into something special. Their sound bears a distinct straightforward approach that is obviously the product of mature songwriting, and the result is catchy and often arresting tunes. The music is not simple. Just soulful. Check them out for yourself in the flesh at Bougie's tomorrow night.
Soul Do Mato performs at Bougainvillea's Old Florida Tavern on Thursday, November 5. No cover.

Get AccessAbstract
Brachytherapy (BT) is a highly conformal (accurate clinical target volume delineation, no planning target volume margin) radiotherapy technique; the radioactive source, guided by afterloading catheters, is implanted into the heart of the tumor. The localized high dose of radiation enables high tumor control rates and, because of rapid dose fall-off, sparing of the adjacent normal tissues. At the Erasmus Medical Center, excellent results were observed: 5-year local regional control of 84%, 5-year disease-free survival of 59%, and 5-year overall survival of 64%. Therefore, in the case of moderately sized tumors, for well-trained, skillful physicians, BT is the therapy of choice (if technically feasible). However, side effects are not totally negligible, partly because of the cumulative dose of BT and the first series of 46/2 Gy. However, patients treated with BT still have a better swallowing-related quality of life, which might improve further if summation of BT and the first series of 46/2 Gy, as well as autocontouring of the neck levels, are realized. So far, there is no significant relationship between the quality index of the BT implants and local control/overall survival and/or quality of life.
