Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez is working hard to make sure his side regain top form
RAFA BENITEZ has promised Liverpool's supporters he is working overtime to turn their frustration into elation after insisting he is at Anfield for the long-haul. The Reds' manager has come in for huge criticism from certain sections of the media and come under fire from a minority of fans following a hugely disappointing run of two wins in 11 games. Liverpool have fallen out of contention in the Premier League and have also made early exits from the Carling Cup and Champions League in that period but Benitez is adamant the situation will change. He understands how much Anfield regulars are hurting at the minute but Benitez has promised he will not walk away, after revealing he has rebuffed several opportunities to go - including in the summer just gone. 'You cannot be a fan and be happy if your team is not winning,' said Benitez. 'It has to be that way. You have to be disappointed. The only thing you can do is understand the reason why. I will not be making excuses, as we know that we have to improve. 'I think we can improve and that is the positive thing for me. The reaction of the players has been very positive. As a fan or anyone close to the club, of course you will be disappointed that you are not winning. That's normal. 'But as a manager, you have to keep going, you have to keep working hard. That is the only way things will change. It's not been easy for us to be at this level but I know that we will improve. 'When I decided to stay (last March), I wanted to fight for this club. I signed a five-year deal. Sometimes there are good moments, sometimes there are bad moments but still I will fight. If we win I will be happier. If we cannot, we will fight until we win.'

Oscar Muscarella's "Fifth Column" of Plunder Culture
All too often, debates about cultural property are made to look simply like battles between curators/collectors/dealers and archaeologists. In an article published in Studies in Honor of Altan Çilingiroglu. A Life Dedicated to Urartu on the Shores of the Upper Sea, Eds. H. Saglamtimur, et al. Arkeoloji ve Sanat Yayinlari, Istanbul, 2009, "The Fifth Column Within the Archaeological Realm: The Great Divide," Dr. Oscar White Muscarella looks at the network of plunder in all the complexity it deserves, and pays special attention to an overlooked accomplice in the continued destruction of the past.
According to Muscarella there are four visible mutually supporting columns operating within the realm of "Plunder Culture." These groups, in order, are: on-site looters or tombaroli, smugglers and local dealers, professional antiquities dealers, and lastly, wealthy ...

Prison time, felony charges rare for relic looters in USA
The strength of the market for antiquities and the consistent failures of the US legal system to deal with those committing offences against the 1979 Archaeological Resources Protection Act, together with a lack of manpower and other priorities for investigators, means that the US is currently "witnessing the wholesale stripping and selling off for scrap our collective American heritage". Despite a push in recent decades to get tougher on artifact looters, there are no significant signs that prosecutions or punishments are having any major effect on looting, especially those that steal for commercial purposes, writes Mike Stark Associated Press writer ("Prison time, felony charges rare for relic looters"). It would seem the answer lies in controlling the market more closely. More here.

In the name of ethics…
Yesterday, a French celebrity collector, Pierre Berge, alleged that he offered to donate two Chinese bronze animal heads to Taiwan's National Palace Museum but was turned down. AFP reports that the museum's refusal was rooted in ethical reasons as well as a reluctance to incite conflict with China. The article quotes the director of the museum, Chou Kung-shin saying: "In accordance with professional museum ethics, we can't collect disputed artefacts."
"Disputed" is the keyword here. These artifacts were not recently looted, but stolen from Beijing by the British and French during the Opium Wars in 1860, and Beijing has repeatedly asked for their repatriation. There were no laws in place 150 years ago to protect these items – the museum's refusal to accept the bronzes was on moral, not legal, grounds. This incident is reflective of what I hope is a growing consciousness of the role that cultural heritage plays in a country's relations with other nations.

Ballotpedia's Tuesday Count plateaus at 4 certified measures
January 18, 2011
By Bailey Ludlam
The Tuesday Count is steady at four certified measures in two states for the upcoming November 8, 2011 general election ballot. Three weeks into the new year and the first petition drive deadline is just around the corner.
Thursday, January 20, marks the end of efforts to qualify initiatives in the state of Maine. According to the Maine Secretary of State, as of Tuesday, January 18, only one of the five initiative efforts had filed signatures for their proposed ballot measure. The slot facility proposal would allow the establishment of a slot machine facility in the state. A minimum of 58,054 valid signatures are required to qualify for the ballot.
The four pending initiatives would allow for cultivation and possession of medical marijuana, repeal the prohibition of marijuana in the state, relate to political campaign promises in the state and amend laws governing deadline for approval of second racino and allow another tribal racino.
But Maine isn't the only state that may qualify measures for the upcoming odd-year election. On the west coast, two initiatives that have been certified for the California February 7, 2012 ballot, the Change in Term Limits Initiative and the Tobacco Tax Initiative, may instead end up on the June 2011 ballot. If the California State Legislature acts on Jerry Brown's urging to place the Tax Increase on the June 2011 ballot then the measure will be moved.[1]
Developments in the Mississippi Legislature are brewing and may knock a certified measure off the ballot. On January 12 the House passed a bill that would ban the state government from taking private lands by eminent domain. The measure will now be sent to the Mississippi State Senate. If the measure is passed by the senate and enacted, this would forgo a November vote on the issue. Currently, a citizen-initiated eminent domain amendment is scheduled for the November 2011 ballot.
SPOTLIGHT:Secret ballots - yay or nay?
Voters overwhelmingly approved four questions relating to secret ballots in Arizona, South Carolina, South Dakota and Utah. The federal government, however, is none too pleased. On January 14 officials of the National Labor Relations Board said the measures are unconstitutional and that the U.S. plans to invalidate the laws. Specifically, officials argue that the approved measures conflict with federal law and argue the case based on the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution.[2] According to reports, the federal lawsuits are expected to be filed in two weeks.
An estimated two states are proposing similar measures for 2012 statewide ballots. In Virginia Republican lawmakers are considering a ballot measure to protect secret ballot voting for union authorization elections. In Nevada supporters are continuing an effort that was initiated in 2010. It too proposes protecting the right to secret ballots in union representation elections.
The current National Labor Relations Act can be read here.

Eliott Peck, Canon USA: Satisfaction Beyond the Sale
January 10, 2013"That goes back to the one thing I learned early in my career: keeping customers happy when things are not working well," he said, adding that the company's main service facilities and call center are in the U.S. "We put a tremendous emphasis on our service department. All our efforts are to help consumers make educated decisions."
Canon's U.S. customer service department, just a handful of people when Peck inhabited it early in his tenure, has grown to about 2,000. Its growth is part of "understanding the mindset of the consumer and reaching out to them throughout the before, during and after process of the sale," he said.
While Peck has made an indelible mark on Canon's U.S. history, he has also given freely of his time and expertise to ensure the continuity of the overall photo imaging business. Now active within the Consumer Electronics Association's Digital Imaging Division, he also represented Canon for many years on the PhotoImaging Manufacturers and Distributors Association (PMDA) board.
"[Peck] could always be counted on for his contributions to our industry," Jerry Grossman, PMDA executive director, said. "I think Eliott always recognized that a strong, healthy photo industry was important for manufacturers and dealers alike, and he was always eager to help bring people together for the benefit of the industry."
Peck's activities at Canon have always been future-forward. "The thing that sticks in my mind every day that I've learned from Mr. Adachi is to challenge yourself, think different, and to understand how to balance what is uncontrollable—things like the economy, competitors' business, world economics and natural disasters—with what is controllable. We constantly work with our staff to reach that balance."
Focusing on the controllable was what Canon U.S.A. did, backed with two years of research data culled from users, with the EOS 5D Mark II Digital SLR. The camera had an HD video recording feature that really caught on.
"A lightbulb went on," Peck said, and the company did hundreds of interviews with directors and camera operators about what features they most wanted in film cameras. That was how Cinema EOS was designed and finally brought to fruition in 2012. "It was a brand-new business that was created here," Peck said. "Historically, that had never happened before. And with the success of the line, we now have the clout to say, 'This worked; now, what else can we do?'
"Today, if you are reactive, you can only chase business by having a lower price than somebody else," Peck said. "In the imaging business today, there's a lot of pictures taken on smartphones but also an awful lot taken on high-quality cameras. There is a tremendous population that is aspirational, that wants to be better photographers, and that wants to step up.
The investments we make in the market, and the customer care we offer, support that. That side of the market is always going to be healthy because there are enthusiasts. And we'll focus on that, because that's what we do best." DS

A 19-year-old Pittsburgh area woman who claimed to be pregnant is under arrest for allegedly stealing a newborn baby from a Pittsburgh hospital, disguised as a nurse. Police say Breona Moore abducted three-day-old Bryce Coleman yesterday afternoon from Magee Women's Hospital.
Pittsburgh Police Commander Thomas Stangrecki says Moore was tracked down after her parents learned of the abduction on the news. They didn't believe the girl's claim she was pregnant and notified the authorities.
According to hospital staff, the baby has been retrieved and is doing well.
Moore was not a student at Edinboro University, despite information on her Facebook page that indicates that she was enrolled in the class of 2012.
"She had neither enrolled nor applied to Edinboro University," says Universtity Public Relations Director Jeff Pinski.

Port Allen, La. — Former Port Allen mayor Derek Lewis is upset after finding out the city council denied his request for almost $20,000 worth of vacation pay he said the city still owes him.
"I would really like to know why they're saying no," Lewis said.
Lewis said he took one vacation in over six years of office, but apparently an audio recording of the former mayor's voice from a council meeting in 2010 talking about how he took some time off, is the only documentation of any vacation ever taken.
During Wednesday's meeting, Councilwoman Ray Helen Lawrence says the city's poor record keeping of mayoral vacation may be in violation of the law.
"Possibilities are, we are in violation, as we stand of payroll fraud," Councilwoman Lawrence said.
Lewis resigned as mayor back in June, after pleading guilty to federal charges of accepting bribes totaling almost $20,000 while in office.
Even after pleading guilty, some in Port Allen feel he should get his vacation pay.
"I know he did a good job while he was in there," said Port Allen resident, Caster Brown.
Others disagree, and question how you can pay someone, when you don't know how many hours they're entitled to.
"Somebody legally is going to have to find out just what he's worked, how many hours," said Roger Payne, of Port Allen. "If no documentation, nobody knows."

IT can also play a major role in the prevention, detection, and mitigation of terrorist attacks.2 By enabling wider awareness of critical information in the intelligence community,3 IT may facilitate the identification of important patterns of behavior. Advances in information fusion, which is the aggregation of data from multiple sources for the purpose of discovering some insight, may be able to help in uncovering terrorists or their plans in time to prevent attacks. In addition to prevention and detection, IT may also enable rapid and accurate identification of the nature of an attack and aid in responding more quickly.
When the IT infrastructure is attacked, the target can be the IT itself. Alternatively, the true target of the terrorist may be another of our society's infrastructures, and the terrorist can either launch or exacerbate the attack by exploiting the IT infrastructure, or use it to interfere with attempts to achieve a timely and effective response. Thus, IT is both a target and a weapon that can be deployed against other targets.
A terrorist attack that involves the IT infrastructure can operate in one of three different modes. First, the attack can come in "through the wires" alone. Second, it can include the physical destruction of some IT element, such as a critical data center or communications link. Third, the attack can rely on the compromising of a trusted insider who, for instance, provides passwords that permit outsiders to gain entry.4 All of these modes are possible and, because of the highly public nature of our IT infrastructure and of our society in general, impossible to fully secure. Nor are they mutually exclusive—and in practice they can be combined to produce even more destructive effects.
Most of the nation's civil communications and data network infrastructure offer soft IT targets, but they tend to be localized either geographically or in mode of communication, and if no physical damage is done tend to be recoverable in a relatively short time. One can imagine the use of IT as the weapon in a series of relatively local attacks that are repeated against different targets—banks, hospitals, or local government services—so often that public confidence is shaken and significant economic disruption results. This report is focused on catastrophic terrorism, and the committee's analysis is aimed at identifying those threats in particular and proposing S&T strategies for combating them. Of course, serious efforts are needed to employ security technologies that research might generate to harden all elements of the IT infrastructure to reduce the damage potential for such repeated attacks.

There must be a widespread understanding that feminism does apply to men. Therefore, men who stand up for feminist issues may, and should, be identified as feminist. It is counterproductive and hypocritical to discuss gender equality while simultaneously creating a double standard towards males who share feminist values. (I think that the phrase "feminist male" should be dropped, as well. A feminist who identifies as female is never addressed as a "female feminist".

Thus feminist art has a direct and immediate impact on people and the ability to influence minds.

Risotto with Swordfish, Anchovies and Tomatoes
Judith Barrett - Friend and customer Judith Barrett offers this recipe, adapted from her best-selling cookbook Risotto-Risotti.Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil
4 whole flat anchovies, packed in oil
1 cup finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic pressed or finely chopped
2 cups Carnaroli rice
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup chopped tomatoes, with their juice
5 cups fish stock
8 oz fresh swordfish, skinned, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup fresh and rinsed parsley, chopped
salt and freshly ground pepper
Heat the oil in a heavy 4-quart pot over medium heat. Add the anchovy fillets and cook for about 1 minute, stirring to break them apart. Add the onion and the garlic, and cook, stirring, until the onion begins to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Be careful not to brown the onions. Stir in the rice and cook for about 1 minute, until the grains are coated with the oil mixture.
Add the wine and stir until it is nearly fully absorbed. Add the tomatoes, with their juice, and stir until all liquid is nearly absorbed. Add the stock, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well and waiting until each 1/2 cup is absorbed before adding the next portion of stock. Reserve 1/4 cup of stock for finishing. When the rice has been cooking for 15 minutes, add the swordfish.
When the rice is tender but firm, about 5 minutes, turn off the heat. Add the remaining 1/4 cup of stock, parsley, salt and pepper to taste, and stir well one final time. Serve immediately.
Serves six.

Meet the directors from hell
PUBLISHED: 21 Jun 2012 00:04:00 | UPDATED: 21 Jun 2012 08:02:16PUBLISHED: 21 Jun 2012 PRINT EDITION: 21 Jun 2012Patrick Durkin
Beware the egocentrics, hesitaters and hand-grenade throwers.
Those are the personality traits of corporate Australia's worst company directors, according to boardroom blue-bloods including Michael Chaney, Belinda Hutchinson and David Gonski.
Holding a host of board positions used to be the ideal way to ease into retirement, but the bloody campaign by James Packer to remove Echo Entertainment chairman John Story and the play by mining billionaire Gina Rinehart for representation on the Fairfax Media board reveal just how ruthless the role has become.
"It is no longer a cushy number," warns Katie Lahey, managing director of Korn/Ferry Australasia, which released its report on the best and worst directors last night.
Even if you avoid a coup, make sure you have not been earmarked as a trouble-making personality type such as the hobbyhorse jockey, the policeman, the nodder or the non-stop talker.
"I think it is a good list because if you are an incoming director and you look at that list it is quite a good way of understanding what not to do, because I have seen just about all of them," National Australia Bank and Woodside Petroleum chairman Michael Chaney told The Australian Financial Review. His pet hate is the non-stop talker.
"It is less common than it used to be, I think the quality of boards is high and these days you tend to ease them out or counsel them to act differently if they are like that," Mr Chaney said.
The hobbyhorse jockeys "focus on a narrow area which they know", QBE chairman Belinda Hutchinson complains.
The hand-grenade throwers get a bee in their bonnet and the "whole discussion gets hijacked", SAI Global chief Tony Scotton warns.
The policemen "roast or interrogate" rather than support management, Nuplex Industries director Peter Springford says.
Future Fund and Coca-Cola Amatil chairman David Gonski is wary of the captives of compliance who are so worried about regulation they "avoid making decisions".
Tabcorp's Justin Milne is awake to directors who just show up and nod "wisely", and Stockland chairman Graham Bradley is annoyed by hesitators who fail to speak up at all.
Then there are the uncommitted, the egocentrics and those who are just in over their heads. They get up the noses of David Jones chairman Bob Savage and Asciano chief John Mullen.
By contrast, the best directors nominated, those with "X-Factor" qualities, are the big-picture visionaries, the team players, the deep thinkers and those with breadth of experience.
Ms Lahey says boards are still divided over whether to recruit former chief executives. The typical preference is for a former CEO who is willing to stand back from day-to-day operations. And the big trend is for companies seeking an Asian director to add to their board.
But finding the right or available people was problematic.
"Boards are saying we are going to expand into the Asian market, we need somebody who has got experience in that world can you help us find someone? We might find an ideal candidate in Hong Kong or Taiwan but they don't want to come to Australia eight times a year for a two day board meeting," Ms Lahey said.
"So what we are now helping boards do is to find non executive directors who will just sit an advisory board, so they don't have all the governance complications of sitting on the board so they might only have to come four times a year when the board is discussing its Asian strategy," she said.

New Little Archie Comic Coming
- Posted by Johanna on January 9, 2007 at 8:56 pm
- Category: Archie Comics
Archie Comics has announced that they will offer two comics for Free Comic Book Day this year.
One is Sonic the Hedgehog, a great choice for kids.
The second is a new Little Archie by noted creator Bob Bolling.
Here's the plot description: "Little Archie, several campers, and two counselors are boating on Loon Lake when they are suddenly caught in a dangerous storm. A golden owl, thought only to be a legend, directs them to the safety of a hidden tunnel that leads them to yet another legend, The Lost Lagoon."

- New Little Archie Volume; Unpopular FCBD Choice » Comics Worth Reading Says:
December 26, 2007 at 8:08 PM[…] Doctor Scott at Polite Dissent conducted an interesting experiment. He put out a bunch of all-ages Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) comics in waiting rooms and then checked which ones got worn out first. Most popular (based on this totally anecdotal one-off case)? The Simpsons. Least? Little Archie. […]

Whether or not they will admit it to you, many contractors have more free time now than ever before. Obviously it's because we (past tense for me) aren't as busy.
During the final year of my subcontracting business I had quite a bit of free time. I was starting Blue Collar Coaching at the time but it was slow going as I was trying to find myself in this new business venture idea.
During 2008, 2009 and 2010 I was reading about a book a month. Just right for a simple minded fellow like myself. Any more than that and my comprehension would likely plummet anyway.
Back in January of this year I closed my subcontracting company and went back to work for someone else. My spare time took a major hit. Now I was forced to work full time, 8-5 usually, and try to keep the coaching thing moving forward.
I had come to a real impasse with my schedule. Where do I cut back and still be able to keep the coaching thing alive? Well, sometimes your schedule and busyness will decide for you and my book reading time has shrunk to nothing. I haven't touched a book in probably 2-3 months. I'll make my apology to Ryan Ash right here because we are supposed to be doing a show based on a book and that is the last book I've touched.
I find reading blogs and reading a book to be quite different. You can catch a 350-500 word blog post in a couple of minutes but a book....that's an hour commitment for me. I get a lot done in my coaching business during that hour every day. I've got a really big webinar I'm building and clients to take care of. The webinar is going to be every bit of 6 weeks (an hour a week) long.
I don't have time to read books right now, I'm too busy creating art of my own.

Westminster College Global E-mail Distribution List Policy
There are dozens of e-mail distribution lists in use at Westminster College, with three main lists, each comprising a different group of individuals. The three main distribution groups are DL-Faculy, DL-Students & DL-Staff. These distribution groups are accessible by all Westminster College faculty and staff. Access to the student distribution list is also granted on an as-needed basis, dependent on a Student Government Association approval process. In some situations, the Chief Information Officer can also grant rights allowing access to the student distribution list.
General Guidelines for use of Distribution Lists
The availability of these distribution lists provides a means of communication in and between all of the campus constituencies. In order to maintain some decorum with regard to list usage, the following usage guidelines have been developed. The sending of mass e-mail communications by members of the Westminster College community is prohibited except as outlined in the following guidelines:
Specialty Distributon Lists In order to better target email communications, Westminster College has implemented dozens of specialty distribution lists comprised of members with something in common. For example, each dorm has its own distribution list, as does each fraternity and each class. These lists are accessible by members of the campus administration as well as by members of each individual list. For example, if you live in Rice Hall, you have the ability to send a message out to the list named DL-Residence-RiceHall.Membership in these lists is based solely on information contained in your student record. Use of the Global Address List
It is against the Westminster College policy to send mass e-mail messages by choosing the entire Global Address List or by creating a Personal Distribution list that contains the entire Westminster College user list. Any user that violates this policy may lose account/e-mail privileges and may also incur other sanctions.
Other Information
Westminster College users should keep the following in mind as they are preparing to send campus-wide e-mail messages:
If you have any questions about this policy, please e-mail the Information Technology Help Desk or call x5169.

well, i'm sure they are all waterproof to some extent... but did you watch the vid?
this camera spent two and a half months bouncing along a coral reef and the camera inside was still immaculate. i don't know if other companies cameras would hold up to that, maybe they would i don't really care either way - i just thought that this story was impressive. i don't think any camera manufacturers would design their product with that kind of test in mind... |

You need to send this to GoPro for a testimonial maybe you can be in a commercial or print add for them at 1:32 did you add a splice as you have a pic of the camera itself falling into the water, NOT from the camera point of view???

Yeah i watched it and yes its impressive that it lasted 2 months. The only thing is i believe that all the pod cams in their waterproof cases would do the same. Thats all i was trying to say, i realise that go pro is the most popular cam and thats cool but i disagree that it is the only one that could withstand being underwater for 2 months, and now that you mention it, it could be a new r&d test for cam companies!

7:00 PM ET, December 26, 2012
Time Warner Cable Arena, Charlotte, NC
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- LeBron James grew up watching wrestling.
So when Ric "The Nature Boy" Flair walked into the arena on Wednesday night, one of the NBA's best entertainers knew it was time to put on his own show.
James did just that.
The reigning MVP had 27 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists as the Heat handed the Charlotte Bobcats their 16th straight loss, 105-92 on Wednesday night.
Even more coverage of the Big Three and their adventures in Miami. Heat Index »
Dwyane Wade added 29 points and nine rebounds, and Mario Chalmers had 17 points as the Heat opened a four-game trip with a win.
"When I was a kid, I loved wrestling," James said. "He was one of the guys I loved, too. I think he's one of the creators of what we call swag these days with the Rolexes and the stretch limos and all the girls and all that stuff. He's one of the creators of swag."
James showed some swag of his own early with four dunks in the first five minutes to get the Heat off to a quick start en route to their sixth straight win.
Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said before the game his team respected the Bobcats. However, Spoelstra hinted he was a little worried about the energy Miami expended in a win over Oklahoma city and whether they would be able to get up for the struggling Bobcats.
Spoelstra talked to his players before the game, and his words seemed to work.
Miami quickly opened a 9-0 lead behind a 3-pointer by Chalmers and three straight dunks -- two by James and another by Chris Bosh, who had 14 points. James was the catalyst in the first quarter with 11 points -- eight on fast-break dunks -- with four steals and four rebounds.
"I thought we came in with the right mindset and disposition," Spoelstra said. "We were a little more inconsistent in the second half, but we found a way. That Charlotte team continues to claw and scratch and plays hard regardless of the tough road they've had. They just keep on coming at you."
It looked as though Miami was on its way to a blowout win. That wasn't the case.
While the Heat never trailed and led by as many as 19, they couldn't deliver the knockout punch to the Bobcats, who were playing without starting center Byron Mullens, guard Ben Gordon, and forward Tyrus Thomas due to injuries.
Down by 17 at halftime, the Bobcats whittled the lead down to 84-82 with 7:16 left when Gerald Henderson completed a three-point play.
But James knocked down a 3-pointer, Wade hit jumpers from 17 and 19 feet, and Shane Battier added a 3-pointer from the right corner to complete an 11-3 run that pushed the lead to 10.
Miami wasn't challenged again.
"That is what we're going to face on the road," Wade said. "The home team is not going to go away. We understand that. We have been through that over the last three years here so we're comfortable and confident in those situations. It's about making the right plays on both ends of the floor."
James called it a bunker mentality.
"We understand that we haven't played great basketball on the road so far," James said. "But we were able to take care of business tonight. For the most part over the last few weeks we've been playing some great basketball."
Wade drew boos from the crowd after he delivered a knee to the groin of Ramon Sessions in the second half. But Sessions, who believed that Wade intentionally struck him, was actually called for a foul.
Kemba Walker had 27 points, and Sessions added 19 points for the Bobcats (7-21), who haven't won since Nov. 24.
Hakim Warrick, making his first start for the Bobcats in place of Mullens, had 18 points and nine rebounds. Sessions provided a big lift in a reserve role by hitting 7-of-12 shots, most coming off drives to the basket against an outmatched Mike Miller.
Despite the loss, Walker said taking the defending champions to the wire was a needed boost of confidence for a young team like the Bobcats.
"I thought we played well in the second half," Walker said. "We really got after it and played hard and played up and down. We played like we did early in the season. If we keep that up, we'll be fine."
Game notes
Heat guard Ray Allen missed the game because of a sore right shoulder. Allen was injured while setting a screen on Kendrick Perkins in the second half of Tuesday night's win over Oklahoma City. ... Charlotte's Gana Diop has four blocked shots in each of the last two games. He had one on James at the end of the first quarter.

Olé We want to help you start dreaming of sunbaked days and romantic nights in charming Puerto Vallarta! This information is designed to assist you in planning a smooth, safe, and pleasure-filled vacation.
When You Arrive Welcome to Paradise! Surrounded by palm-fringed beaches and lush tropical mountains, Puerto Vallarta is a storybook village accented by red-tiled roofs and cobblestone streets. It's a city of romance, beauty, and lingering dreams. Puerto Vallarta, filled with charm and grace, will welcome you with open arms. Prepare for an unforgettable experience!
Things to Know A valid passport is required to enter Mexico. Requirements for travel to Mexico are subject to change at any time; if you have questions, contact Trading Places or the Mexican Consulate nearest you.
A tourist card (visa) is also required. You'll probably get this on your flight but, if not, then when you go through immigration. You will be required to turn it in when you check-in for your return flight. DO NOT LOSE THIS FORM...IT'S IMPORTANT, AND THERE IS A CHARGE TO REPLACE IT!
Pack Casual. Men can leave their jackets and ties at home and ladies won't need formal wear. Casual resort wear is acceptable everywhere; however, it is customary (but not always required) that ladies wear long pants or a head cover or both when visiting a church or cathedral. Take 'em anyway; better safe than sorry. You're in the tropics and lightweight cottons are normally best, but winter visitors might want a light jacket or sweater for evening outdoor dining. Don't forget your sunscreen. One careless day in the sun can ruin an entire trip in a hurry.
Eating Around Puerto Vallarta is known for its variety of great restaurants. La Playita is a very nice restaurant at the resort, and it has a view unmatched anywhere! In town, a few of our favorites are Pipi's, Barcelona, Tino's Mariscos, and Le Bistro. Downtown disco action gets going around 10:00 pm and will usually continue as long as you hang in there. Lindo Mar Resort hosts a great happy hour at noon and 5:00 pm, as well as a fabulous brunch most Saturdays and every Sunday.
Excursions & Sights to See Puerto Vallarta offers something for everyone: a wide variety of restaurants, nightclubs, shopping, sightseeing tours, sport fishing, cruises, water sports, horseback riding, and more! On any day you can sail away on a variety of boats to Yelapa or Las Animas, two tiny fishing villages accessible only by water. Both spots are great for swimming, sunning, and parasailing away from the crowds. Lunch and drinks are available. There also are several sunset cruises that include dinner, music, dancing, and beautiful views of the city as the sun goes down. Deep sea fishing parties can be arranged as can hunting trips, and city and jungle tours. Enjoy water-skiing, parasailing, skin and scuba diving, and small fishing boats. See the activity desk at Lindo Mar Resort for details and reservations.
Currency/Credit Card U.S. Dollars are widely accepted, though the Mexican peso is the national currency. The best exchange rate is usually gotten at ATM's or at local banks. Most major credit cards are accepted.
Leaving Vallarta International carriers ask that you arrive at the airport at least two hours before your scheduled flight. At times, the airport in Vallarta can be a wild place, so arrive early. Again, be sure to keep track of your tourist card...you need it to leave Mexico!
Your Next Vacation Remember Trading Places International offers deluxe condominiums and private homes throughout Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas. Call toll free 800-365-9190 for complete property information and future reservations.

Twitter lit up with rumors, spreading fears of the worst for Wayne's outcome, but a Tweet in his name attempted to calm the tempest. "I'm good everybody," read a message from Lil Wayne's Twitter account Friday evening. "Thnx for the prayers and love."There was no weeping for "Weezy," as he's known among his friends, in the hallway near his hospital room Friday night. They talked more about a Twitter feud that erupted Friday between rappers Gucci Mane and Waka Flocka than about Lil Wayne's condition.Fellow rapper Drake was one of several of Lil Wayne's Young Money record label mates who have visited him since Friday night.Young Money publicist Sarah Cunningham acknowledged Friday that Lil Wayne had had a seizure, but members of the New Orleans artist's camp have shot down reports that he was near death."Dont believe the nonsense about comas and tubes to breathe ... that's false!!" tweeted Mack Maine, the president of Lil Wayne's Young Money label, around 5:20 p.m. (8:20 p.m. ET) Friday.Maine didn't offer much detail, though he did say that he and Lil Wayne had been watching the Syracuse University Orange play the Georgetown Hoyas in the Big East men's basketball tournament."Wayne is alive and well!" the record label president wrote on Twitter.The rapper's independent publicist, Kia Selby, said only, "Lil Wayne is doing well." She strongly denied reports he was in a medically induced coma, as reported by TMZ.Born Dwayne Carter, Lil Wayne is one of the rap world's most successful artists. He won best rap album for "Tha Carter III" at the 2008 Grammy awards and took home three more Grammys the next year.Beyond winning over critics, he's also been a commercial success. Last September, Billboard reported the rapper had tallied 109 hits on its Hot 100, surpassing the record previously held by Elvis Presley.But he's also run into trouble outside the studio and off stage.Lil Wayne was arrested in 2007 outside New York City's Beacon Theater after police said they found a .40-caliber pistol on his tour bus. He pleaded guilty to felony gun charges and spending eight months at New York's Rikers Island jail.More from showbizWhat to look forward to in 2015The sexiest night on TVWhy we're obsessed with spiesPowered by Livefyre

Q & A with National Alumni Board Chair, Ray Dunkle
Ray Dunkle earned his B.S. Accounting from The University of Akron in 1991. He is currently the Director of the Forensic Accounting and Business Valuation at Brockman, Coats, Gedelian & Co.
Q. Can you please explain what your current professional position entails?
A. I have two titles. I am the Director of the Forensic Accounting and Business Valuation practice of Akron based, multi-state CPA & consulting firm BCG & Company. I am responsible for overseeing forensic investigations, financial calculations and for providing expert testimony. I am also President of Red Flag Reporting, an ethics hotline business owned by BCG & Company. I maintain responsibility for growing both practices.
Q. Who was your favorite professor and why?
A. This is actually a tough one. I had several great accounting professors. Dr. Frank had funny stories that made tough topics more bearable, Dr. Sharon Kimmel struck me as technically strong, Dr. Claudia Kelly seemed to really care about me, and Dr. Keister was just a wise, patient man who was excellent at transferring knowledge. I also had a wonderful English professor who taught me to think critically. I wish I could remember his name as he also had a positive impact on my life.
Q. What is your favorite UA memory – as a student and as an alum?
A. I'm a practical person – getting a job offer! It demonstrated that hard work actually does pay off. Being the first person on either side of my family to graduate college was a plus as well. I had a few people that I love tell me that I made them proud, so it was a happy time for several of us.
Q. What was your UA involvement as a student?
A. I was active in Student Toastmasters, the Accounting Association and Beta Alpha Psi, where I was an officer. Student Toastmasters actually had a major impact on my life. I attribute a marked transition from being a very shy, awkward introvert to being a much more self-confident and outgoing introvert (yes, I'm still an introvert) to that experience. To this day I give public presentations frequently, which has helped me grow professionally.
Q. What is the advise you would give to students?
A. My advice is practical. Do something you love and don't be defined by your income level. Focus on serving others, not yourself. Finally, time goes quickly so take school seriously and perform well…grades are not everything but they are very important. As an employer, grades give me insights into an applicant's intellect and work ethic.

cardlayout question
I have a pretty simple question regarding the cardlayout, but I can't find an answer from the Java Tutorials ... or any of the lame books I have!
Is there a way of returning a string telling me which card in the cardlayout I am on? Cardlayout obviously keeps track of this given the API for this class (e.e.g, next, previous, etc.).
On the subject of books, can someone recommend authoritative books on Java and, more specifically, Swing and AWT?
I've not seen this functionality, but I'm not the Swing expert here. You might have to wait to see if camickr or Darryl know of anything more.

Prospect: Tom Kuhnhackl
FF says:
The Pittsburgh Penguins' 4th round pick in 2010 was considered a steal by many hockey critics at the time due to the potential they saw in the German winger.
Now, after a full and healthy season, Tom Kuhnhackl has surpassed the expectations anyone could have expected from him in his first North American season.
Kuhnhackl was one of the better players at prospect camp in July. He has experience playing against men in Germany and also participated in the 2011 World Junior Championship for Germany. He is eligible to play in the AHL next season but could also return to Windsor. I would prefer to see him take the next step in his development in the AHL but a return to the OHL would certainly not hurt.
Talent Analysis
Kuhnhackl has a large, lanky frame that he uses to protect the puck very well. He is not afraid to throw his body around and he drives the net very well.
Offense: He has good offensive instincts on the ice and is good at getting space for himself to unleash his shot. He is a great forechecker and is great at forcing the defense into a mistake with his tireless pursuit of the puck. Kuhnhackl, in the European style, is a left handed shot who prefers playing on the off wing so he has a better angle at the net on his shot. Kuhnhackl has an excellent wrist shot as well as a heavy slap shot that he is not afraid to use. He loves going high glove on the goalie if possible but also enjoys going over the pad-under the blocker stick side.
Defense: Kuhnhackl is pretty good in his own end but his coaches have him concentrate on the offensive portion of his game. He had 1 shorthanded goal this season so he could be a threat shorthanded if used in that capacity.
Physicality: A player really strong on the forecheck, Kuhnhackl also has an edge to his game not really expected from a player like him. He got 2 minutes for checking from behind and a 10 minute misconduct in the WJC and also received a 2 game suspension this year in the OHL for a slew foot. He is no Matt Cooke but no saint either.
What Others are Saying About Kuhnhackl
Kuhnhackl profile from the first sports blogger credentialed by the NHL
"Would have been a lock to go in the first round this season well before the Sharks pick, had he remained healthy. Injuries either kept him out of key international events or prevented him from showing off his full capabilities while there. A team with a strong scout in Germany (San Jose) shouldn't have a tough time projecting him."
"Last year in Fargo for the World U-18's, Tim Burke was next to me watching the Germans play. Kuhnhackl had the puck down low in the offensive zone and Burke called out the move Kuhnhackl was going to use to score. Sure enough, it was exactly what Kuhnackl did. That tells me Burke knows this kid inside and out. Few players are better deep in the offensive zone and around the net as this German winger. Smooth skater with a deceptive shot. Must get stronger and rebound with a healthy season next year."
Derek Zona, great blogger of the Edmonton Oilers wrote this draft profile of Kuhnhackl:
"Is Kühnhackl worth the 31st overall pick, or is this a player that the Oilers could target with the 48th overall pick? Once again we go back to the always-outstanding Bruins 2010 Draft Watch for a scouting report on Kühnhackl:
He 's an elite talent who, prior to the season, was seen in some circles as a top-10 prospect, but is slipping (ranked 10th on the European skaters list by Central). If he is there early in the 2nd, Kuhnhackl would be a steal. He's an explosive player with a very quick stick and a high-end hockey IQ. He's a beanpole (6-2, 172 pounds) who has a lot of filling out to do, but scouts love his live athletic build and know he'll pack on enough mass to handle the physical aspects.
Erich was 6'5" and 198 lbs, so Tom's got lankiness is in his genes, but the kid should be expected to add another 30 pounds to his frame. He came into the Bundesliga as a center, but he's played left wing for the Cannibals thus far as a professional.
One positive for Kühnhackl's draft position is that he's committed to moving to North America for the 2010-2011 season. From The Scouting Report:
He's a big forward who moves well and has a solid goal scoring touch. Some may have expected more from the German this season, but he still managed to produce well playing in a Men's league. He'll be transitioning over the pond to Windsor next year, where many North Americans will have a better gauge on his development.
Kühnhackl will make the jump to North America next year and play for the OHL champion and Memorial Cup winner, the Windsor Spitfires. His willingness to play in the CHL next year should push his draft position up a handful of spots over where he would have been taken had he planned to stay in Germany.
Windsor General Manager Warren Rychel has said: "He's a great skater and he's gifted with the puck." He'll have the opportunity to show off those skills next year as he may replace the departing Taylor Hall. Windsor could lose four first round draft selections from the championship team, so Kühnhackl will have an immediate stage. Kuhnhackl's scouting record on himself:
I think I'm the kind of player that my dad was. He's tall, I'm tall. I use my body to protect the puck. I can get the puck to the net to create scoring chances, see the open guy.
In the long view, Kühnhackl has been compared to Marco Sturm in that he is fast, agile, possesses great acceleration and plays well in both zones. He's much larger than Sturm, and possesses more high-end skill. Both Kühnhackl and Sturm, as well as Erich, came out of the same development program in Landshut, yet another pointer towards the younger Kühnhackl's pedigree.
EHC München General Manager Christian Winkler called Kühnhackl a "feast for the eyes":
A feast for the eyes, what has the boy on it. There are not many talents like him in Germany. I will not impose on him the name Kühnhackl more, but he reminds me of Marco Sturm.
I'll take a feast for the eyes in the second round.

Okay, well, I upload my image (just a .jpg, nothing big), do my title, description, etc.. And then when I click preview, I see it, then look below...and below thumbnail is a red x and nothing in the file upload thingy (sorry, I'm not that technical! Hopefully you get it).
Now, I've tried submitting countless ways, reloading the picture, not loading the picture, starting over again, but nothing is working!
Am I the only one who has this problem, or am I just electronically dense?
I know this sounds retarded, but it works for me every now and then. Go to your "tools" menu at the top of your web browser. Click "internet options" (this is all if you use internet explorer) then under the "general" tab, click "delete cookies", "delete files", and "clear history". It will basically "burp" your web browser. Then reopen this site, and try to see your pictures. Am I any one allowed to post here? Or is it just for the people in charge of the site... hmm...
