Mystics land Kara Lawson in deal
UNCASVILLE, Conn. -- Connecticut has traded veteran guard Kara Lawson to Washington in a series of deals that included guard Alex Bentley moving from Atlanta to the Sun, and Mystics guard Matee Ajavon heading to the Dream.
Washington initially traded Ajavon and its second-round pick in the upcoming WNBA draft to the Dream on Wednesday in exchange for Bentley and a third-round pick. The Mystics then sent Bentley to the Sun for Lawson.
Lawson, who is starting her 12th WNBA season, played in just nine games during an injury-plagued 2013. The Olympic gold medalist and ESPN analyst, averaged 11.5 points during her four seasons in Connecticut, which finished a league-worst 10-24 last year.
She will be reunited in Washington with Mike Thibault, who coached Connecticut before leading the Mystics to the playoffs last season.
"She brings a level of skill and professionalism that will help push us forward in our quest to become an elite team in the WNBA," Thibault said in a statement.
Bentley averaged just over eight points for the Eastern Conference champion Dream and made the WNBA's 2013 All-Rookie team.
"At the end of the day, we want people who want to be here, want to buy into the program and who want to help us achieve our goal of bringing a WNBA championship to Connecticut," said Sun coach Anne Donovan.
Ajavon, a six-year WNBA veteran, scored just under five points a game for Washington last season.
"Matee brings a defensive intensity, explosive playmaking skills in the open-court, and light-hearted and positive energy that complement our existing core," said Angela Taylor the general manager of the Dream.

Naomi Campbell, Sessilee Lopez's Vogue Italia Editorials Come Out of Hiding
>> Just as The Wall Street Journal promised, a couple of editorials from the July 2008 Vogue Italia appeared today, featuring two out of the four cover models. Both sets were shot by VI perennial favorite Steven Meisel.
"There's only one Naomi" features Naomi Campbell in a luxe setting — pretty normal fashion editorial fare, nothing outstanding except a shot of her crawling on a pool table — full gallery (NSFW) below. Sessilee Lopez's set is in all black-and-white, very Yves Saint Laurent-inspired; In fact, one shot of her in head wrap, teeth bared, reminds me of YSL favorite Waris Dirie.

Adding artwork to multiple songs in iTunes 10
iTunes 10 has a cool new feature that allows you to create a Smart Playlist based on whether or not your music has artwork. To use it, simply set "Has Artwork" to "is false" when creating the playlist. You can (optionally) add "Media Kind: is Music" if you want to avoid seeing podcasts, movies, and other items that don't have artwork.
I recently decided to clean up my iTunes library. This involved taking all of the music out of the iTunes library and only adding back music that I knew I really liked. I was also making sure the metadata was accurate, including the artwork. I had been adding the artwork via TidySongs, but it had been acting a bit unreliably and claiming that iTunes was not responding (the developers tell me there is a new version available for Windows and a new Mac version is due "soon"). So, I started adding artwork manually.
Something very strange has happened that I can't completely explain, so I'll just describe it. I've found songs in my "No Artwork" playlist that had artwork (clearly visible when using Cover Flow), but if I examine the song individually using the inspector, the artwork is indeed missing. I'm not sure how this is happening, but I have noticed a pattern that might give a clue: all of the "phantom" artwork was added by dragging manually to the "Drag Artwork Here" area on the bottom left of the iTunes window while multiple songs from the same album were selected. If I examine the files in the Finder, some of them have the artwork, and some of them don't.
Why is this happening? I have no idea. Frankly it makes no sense, and I suspect that there's a bug in there somewhere. (Or maybe that fortuneteller actually did put a curse on me.) Whatever the reason, there does seem to be a workaround.
- Select all of the songs that you want to apply the artwork to
- Use command+i to call up the inspector
- Drag the artwork to the inspector instead of the "Drag Artwork Here" area
I don't know why, but that method has worked 100% reliably for me without leaving any "stragglers" lacking artwork. It's a bit of a hassle, but that's a trade-off I'll take for something that works better.
Thanks to Guillermo Esteves for drawing my attention to the new iTunes feature.

Democrats have been shut out of Gracie Mansion since Rudy Giuliani defeated David Dinkins in 1993, but a new poll released early Wednesday shows the party with a built-in advantage in next year's mayoral race, with City Council Speaker Christine Quinn the heavy favorite to become the Democratic nominee.
The Quinnipiac University poll shows Quinn is the choice of 32 percent of registered Democrats, greater than the other four top candidates combined -- and one of those candidates withdrew from the race after the poll was conducted. The 2009 Democratic nominee, former city Comptroller Bill Thompson, is second, with 10 percent. Public Advocate Bill de Blasio is third, at 9 percent, and embattled Comptroller John Liu is fourth, with 5 percent. Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, who announced Sunday that he would run to succeed Liu as comptroller, drew 4 percent.
"Quinn leaves the other Democratic contenders in the dust," said Mickey Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac poll.
Quinn's popularity is overwhelming: 65 percent of all voters approve of the way she is handling her job as speaker, while only 18 percent disapprove. That represents a bump from the summer, when 56 percent approved of her job performance.
Meanwhile, former Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrión, who served in the Obama administration, has been floating a mayoral bid on the Republican line. But the poll shows Carrión badly trailing a generic Democrat, 62 percent to 11 percent.
Metropolitan Transportation Authority Chairman Joe Lhota has received high marks for his handling of post-Tropical Storm Sandy, leading some to suggest he could mount a challenge on the GOP line. The poll shows him behind a generic Democrat by the same margin, however, 60 percent to 9 percent.
The poll was conducted Nov. 14-18, surveying 1,165 registered voters. The margin of error is plus-or-minus 2.9 percentage points.

Shallowater beats Idalou for spot in state tournament ... follow Bryan Navarette's Live Game Tracker coverage!
Dear Abby: Last year I found a bottle of Valtrex in my husband's car. He had been taking the medicine for months. When I asked him about it, he lied. I was devastated when I realized I had been exposed to herpes.
Dear Abby: I am a 35-year-old single man. Three years ago, I took legal custody of my niece (who is now 8) to prevent her from becoming a ward of the state. Her parents were drug addicts.
Dear Abby: I co-own a professional service business with a woman whose appearance has deteriorated significantly over the last three or four years. "Mary" was never a fashion plate, but she used to be presentable for business.
Dear Abby: I graduated from college, and I'm starting my first full-time job and moving into my first apartment. I bought all the furniture for it, but needed help moving in.
Dear Abby: I had suspicions my dad was cheating on my mom, and when she found a mysterious earring in the house one day, I knew I had to find the proof. I went into his iPad and checked his email/Facebook and IMs and found he apparently has a girlfriend.
Dear Abby: My dad died in April after a brief illness. Before he passed, my stepmother encouraged him to donate his body to science because she is to be buried with her first husband, and she didn't want the expense of burying Dad.
Dear Abby: I'm a 15-year-old girl. When I'm with the high school group of kids at my church, I try to extend myself and talk, but they never reciprocate much. I always have to try to think of something to say and be careful I don't embarrass myself.
Dear Abby: I am a full-time mother of three young children and have been married for nine years. Since the beginning, my husband has pushed to have things "his way." He struggles with his temper and has yelled at me over little things.
Dear Abby: Your response to "Offended Daughter" (Aug. 10), whose mother didn't like her lounging in a bikini top at her house because of her weight, was inconsiderate, irresponsible and, frankly, offensive.
Dear Abby: I have overheard a person who works as an aide at the local elementary school talking about the students - discussing their special needs, behavioral issues, etc.

In a post yesterday about New York Times' coverage of the corpses found on Long Island and the ongoing search for a missing woman, we looked at how reporters Joseph Goldstein and Tim Stelloh's use of "missing prostitute" instead of "missing woman" in their lead sentence subtly casts a non-unbiased view on the article from the get-go, identifying the missing woman by her profession without good reason to do so.
CNN.com also reported on the crimes, using "four dead prostitutes" in their second paragraph prematurely before explaining how police believe the bodies are connected and why the women's professions need be mentioned.
We are happy to report that CNN.com HAS CHANGED this sentence and it now reads "four corpses".
Thank you, CNN, for fair coverage of a tragic story as it unfolds, and your prompt remedy of a careless mistake.
Update: Associated Press released an article by Frank Eltman, who goes hog wild with the word "prostitute," which FoxNews.com appropriated and elevated to an even higher level of sleaziness by changing its headline to include the word yet one more time where it wasn't already. Our favorite line, though, is this one:
"The four dead prostitutes were found amid a 4-foot-tall tangle of sea grass punctuated by scrubby pine trees."
Four dead prostitutes…is that like three blind mice and four calling birds and two turtle doves?? Scrubby pine trees? How many?
You would think the most important part of this whole story is that the women involved sold sex for money, not that there is a serial killer on the loose whose private activities—we're willing to bet—are gravely more controversial.

This tutorial is targeted towards ruby newbies who often find the ruby ecosystem frustrating, although the language per se is easy to learn 1.
Here you should be able to find all the information to get you a fully working ruby environment.
Feel free to leave a comment if you face some kind of problem that is already discussed here.
To avoid repeating information that is available elsewhere, I will link the projects to whom I'm referring too (e.g. rvm ).
Further help on ruby you can get via IRC, the ruby mailing list or the forums2.
GNU/Linux as a development platform
The GNU/Linux is an open source operating operating system consisting of the Linux kernel and GNU tools. GNU/Linux comes in many flavors called distributions. The most widely used GNU/Linux distribution is probably Ubuntu.
GNU/Linux is a mature, stable and widely used environment among developers. This system gives you access to an incredible variety of development toolchains out of the box and is the operating system of choice for running servers.
On the downside some non-development specific applications might not be as polished as their counterparts running on Microsoft Windows or Apple's OSX.
If you have time, curiosity and will to learn, then do try to install Linux on your computer and give it a go! Becoming familiar with GNU/Linux will give lots of benefits and will help you get a better understanding of how operating systems work.
GNU/Linux is the most customizable operating system out there and can run on nearly any sort of hardware. Even computers considered very old can run successfully some Linux flavor! So if you feel that your hardware is becoming obsolete, give linux a try. Just choose a lightweight distribution for your own sake!
Mac OSX as a development platform
Apple's operating system called MacOSX is probably the operating system of choice for rubyists. OSX is extremely well polished in my opinion.
OSX has the added plus that combines the best of both worlds, meaning that it's at least as polished as Microsoft Windows if not more, when it comes to applications and desktop environment and it's a UNIX-based platform beneath. You can launch the terminal and work on a fully fledged UNIX-based environment, similar to GNU/Linux.
The last version of MacOSX, as of this writing is called Yosemite and ships with ruby-2.0.0
. My advise is to use the latest stable version if you're starting with ruby today!
In order to prepare a MacOSX system for development the user needs to install additional software. First install xCode. Then you can choose one of these two solutions to manage open source software on your Macintosh:
- MacPorts: A complete, full feautered flexible system to handle software installation, updates and management of dependencies. You can read more about MacPorts on their installation page.
- HomeBrew: Similar solution to MacPorts. It's easier to install and faster to deliver but lacks the flexibility of MacPorts.
You will need either of those two systems installed in order to proceed without issues. Ruby needs some extra software packages that you can install using any of the above mentioned solutions.
Most Mac users opt for HomeBrew but I use MacPorts. Both seem to be good.
Microsoft Windows as a development platform
Microsoft Windows is a tricky platform for any kind of software development other than Microsoft related technologies (e.g. Visual Basic, C#, etc.).
In the first revision of this guide, I won't cover MS Windows installation because I don't have a usable MS Windows installation anywhere near me.
That said, I'm not a Microsoft fan. I find MS Windows 8.x hideous, but that's a personal opinion more than anything else. You can still develop on Windows.
NOTE: I will update this guide if the situation changes and I have access to licensed version of Microsoft Windows.
Installing ruby
Ruby has libraries called gems. A collection of these libraries can be found on the RubyGems website. Some of these libraries will add important, well tested, functionalities to your programs. Other libraries will have executable scro[ts that you will need to run. Hence, the operating system needs to know where they are and what to do with them at any time. These libraries change versions. Some change versions more often than others. As with every software development cycle, every new version has some additions. Sometimes though it has obsoletes some functions. So you have to keep an eye on the different versions of each library in order to avoid hassles.
Keeping up to speed with all these things is a huge pain. That's why some very nice people developed a few solutions that are widely used in the ruby world.
Installing ruby with rvm
RVM stands for Ruby Version Manager. You can download and install RVM on any UNIX-like system. Follow the instructions on the front page.
RVM will help you install multiple ruby versions, and gemsets. So you can have for example a Ruby on Rails projects running on ruby-1.9.3
while developing a second projects using plain ruby-2.1.2
. Each of these projects can run it's own distinct library collections.
The documentation is good and the authors of the project are very helpful either through IRC or StackOverflow.
Installing ruby with rbenv
Another very popular tool similar to RVM is rbenv. It uses a structure similar to RVM although the nomeclature is a little bit different. The documentation is extensive and you should read the documentation at least once if you plan to go with rbenv.
Installing ruby vanilla
The vanilla way of installing ruby is to download the source code from Ruby's official website and compile the code yourself.
Although this procedure is considerably easy for any UNIX-like system, should be avoided by users that are not intimately familiar with command line installations.
My 2 cents here is to go with the flow and install ruby using rbenv or rvm. Learning how to use any of these tools will help you considerably in your future as a ruby programmer.
Installing ruby using package managers
You could install ruby using the package manager of your distribution if you are on GNU/Linux or one using MacPorts or Homebrew if you're on a Mac.
Unfortunately most linux distribution update ruby versions very late. So you will probably end up with some old ruby version.
NOTE: Package managers might install ruby at some point in order to add ruby support third party programs (e.g. VIM). Both rvm and rbenv will help you run your custom ruby version without interfering with the ruby version installed by your package manager.
Editors and IDEs
Choosing an editor is not a trivial task, it's almost like wine: The true sweetness of wine is one flavor. A modern editor should support at least the following:
- Syntax highlighting
- Auto-completion
- Code snippets
- Code execution (on the fly, via shortcut)
The last feature will be extremely helpful as you make your first steps with ruby. If you want to just try some ruby code in your browser, without installing additional software, you can visit the TryRuby website and test your snippets!
Some good editors which support all of the above features and much more are:
- Sublime Text Editor (Linux / Mac / Windows)
- TextMate (Mac)
- Emacs (Linux / Mac / Windows)
- Vim (Linux / Mac / Windows)
NOTE: Vim and Emacs are most popular editors in the UNIX world for a variety of reasons. The learning curve is very steep and might be daunting for new programmers. If you think you have what it takes make your research and pick one of the two. I assure that your productivity will sky-rocket once you get the hand of it.
Whatever editor you choose, please stick with it at least for 6 months and try to learn how to automate your workflow using your editor!
Integrated development environments (IDEs) are not extensively used in the ruby community but some developers like having everything tight up in one package. The most popular IDEs to develope ruby (or rails) applications are:
You've reached the end of the first part. Hopefully you've got an overview of the ruby ecosystem and a pretty good idea about the best way to deploy ruby in your system.
In the second part I will describe my personal which consists mainly of vim and the terminal multiplexer.

The Greek election IS a big deal still because we don't know the result. If Syriza gets in it's anybody's guess what will happen from there. The Germans say that they'll happily kick the Greeks out and it won't be an issue but that's a bluff if ever I saw it. It is massively problematic for both the ECB and the IMF who will wear huge losses if the Greeks leave the Euro and it will be so for the banks too.
The Dollar rally, if maintained, can easily destabilise the entire EM bloc of countries which would impact financial markets in a big way.

Capital on the sidelines: what is this 'capital'? I think you mean cash. There is a difference. Anyhow, the first point is that nothing is ever on the sidelines - it is always doing something i.e. if it's not being lent to a bank (via deposits) it'll be invested in something. I'll go out on a limb and say that the amount of cash currently stuffed under peoples' mattresses waiting to be invested in AAPL stock is inconsequential. Equally, if I have $1m burning my hole in my pocket (let's say this is 'cash on sidelines') and I put it to work by buying stocks then, by definition, someone must be selling stocks (to me) and will then have cash amounting to $1m. Therefore it is 'a wash'. This cash on sidelines business is nothing but twaddle trotted out by clueless financial media pundits. It's a credibility destroyer par excellence.
The oil & gas situation is "bullish" for worldwide GDP: how can this be the case? Is the purchase of oil not included in GDP numbers? Of course it is. If I have a $100 to spend per week, whether I choose to spend it all on a tank of gasoline or a meal at a nice restaurant makes no difference to GDP. The effect on GDP is the same. GDP doesn't change - where the cash is spent changes, that's all. This is another line plucked straight from the mouths of clueless pundits.
My advice: start thinking for yourself rather than swallowing the garbage spouted by an ignorant media. Bare in mind too, that when the GFC broke in 2008 not one mainstream financial newspaper had a clue what was going on or was able to explain accurately to its readership what was going on (that includes the FT, WSJ, AFR etc etc). -

The US's future of course at this point looks much like Japan's - endless ZIRP and rounds of QE leading to nothing but economic malaise. The good news, however, is that Japan's economic implosion and the imminent demise of the Yen means that the U.S. will not be allowed 25yrs of failed monetary policy to run its course. Keynesianism will be utterly discredited and gold will go through the roof unless there is immediate monetary reform. -
GLD Breaks, Are We Now Entering That Last Leg Down? [View article]
It's pretty clear that the Russians and the Chinese (along with unspecified others) are in the process of trying to corner the physical market. If you accept that western central banks are in the game of trying to suppress the gold price (which they have been doing, on and off, for decades) then supply would have to increase substantially to head off Chinese efforts. Fact: Chinese FX reserves could buy the entire world's central banks' gold reserves 3x over. That's a chilling thought. The Chinese could crush the dollar and the U.S. economy without even going to war.
The West have been merrily supplying the market i.e. the Chinese for some time now but how long will it continue? At some point they will balk at supplying any more physical and that's when the price of gold will go parabolic. An increase in gold mining supply is irrelevant - only the discovery of alchemy will have a material effect. -
GLD Breaks, Are We Now Entering That Last Leg Down? [View article]
Your logic is somewhat flawed. Oil may be cheaper but capital has fled the mining sector so new capacity is hardly going to boost supply anytime soon. Just because oil is cheaper does not mean existing mines are going to produce gold faster or in greater amounts either. And then there's the depressed price to consider - hardly an incentive to increase supply.
Additionally, you make the fatal mistake of viewing gold as a commodity rather than money. The available supply of gold is all the gold that has ever been mined i.e. circa 175,000 tonnes, so an uptick of 10 or 20% in annual production is barely going to move the dial. Yours is a common mistake and an infuriating one given how obvious it is.

Slower profit growth is posing a problem for Chinese banks as they prepare to meet Basel III standards, but a renewal of asset securitisation is a promising development, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Vice President Li Xiaopeng said. A pilot securitisation programme was launched in May, and it should help as Chinese banks face pressures to support 8% economic growth, which would require bank loans to increase at least 15% annually, Li said.

Defenses can make or break any matchup—just ask anyone who had (or played against) the Seahawks in Week 14, the 49ers in Week 12 or the Bears in one of the several weeks they scored multiple touchdowns.
If you're like me, that means scouring the waiver wire.
Simply put, I'm not a proponent of spending an early draft pick on a defense. Defensive touchdowns are impossible to predict, and although we know squads such as the Seahawks, 49ers, Texans and Bengals won't allow a ton of points, that doesn't always necessarily equate to elite fantasy units.
Just last year, the Ravens, Eagles, Falcons and Lions were ranked in the top 10. None of them finished there, and Philly and Detroit finished in the bottom five.
The position is just too much of a crapshoot to spend an early pick on.
All of that, of course, is just a fancy way of justifying the decision to stream defenses, especially early in the year before you know who the breakout squads are.
That being said, let's take a look at the Week 1 defensive rankings along with some perfect stream options.
Rank | Team | Week 1 Opponent |
1 | New England Patriots | at Buffalo Bills |
2 | Houston Texans | at San Diego Chargers |
3 | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | at New York Jets |
4 | Seattle Seahawks | at Carolina Panthers |
5 | San Francisco 49ers | Green Bay Packers |
6 | St. Louis Rams | Arizona Cardinals |
7 | Arizona Cardinals | at St. Louis Rams |
8 | Indianapolis Colts | Oakland Raiders |
9 | Chicago Bears | Cincinnati Bengals |
10 | Cincinnati Bengals | at Chicago Bears |
11 | Pittsburgh Steelers | Tennessee Titans |
12 | Green Bay Packers | at San Francisco 49ers |
13 | Kansas City Chiefs | at Jacksonville Jaguars |
14 | Washington Redskins | Philadelphia Eagles |
15 | Cleveland Browns | Miami Dolphins |
16 | Denver Broncos | Baltimore Ravens |
17 | Miami Dolphins | at Cleveland Browns |
18 | Minnesota Vikings | at Detroit Lions |
19 | Baltimore Ravens | at Denver Broncos |
20 | New York Giants | at Dallas Cowboys |
21 | Tennessee Titans | at Pittsburgh Steelers |
22 | New York Jets | Tampa Bay Buccaneers |
23 | Dallas Cowboys | New York Giants |
24 | Jacksonville Jaguars | Kansas City Chiefs |
25 | San Diego Chargers | Houston Texans |
26 | Atlanta Falcons | at New Orleans Saints |
27 | Philadelphia Eagles | at Washington Redskins |
28 | Carolina Panthers | Seattle Seahawks |
29 | Oakland Raiders | at Indianapolis Colts |
30 | Detroit Lions | Minnesota Vikings |
31 | New Orleans Saints | Atlanta Falcons |
32 | Buffalo Bills | New England Patriots |
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
One of the worst passing teams in the league against one of the best secondaries. It's a classic recipe for fantasy success.
Although the New York Jets starting QB has yet to be officially announced—just a fantastic sign that the position is in good shape—indications are that rookie Geno Smith will get the nod, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini:
The decision to sit Smith confirms what we reported Sunday: Even though the Jets are calling it a day-to-day injury, there's no guarantee Sanchez will be ready for Week 1. Some people close to the organization believe it'll be Smith against the Bucs on Sept. 8.
Offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg, via NFL.com's Ian Rapaport, also reportedly is putting his confidence in Smith:
From Total Access: I'm told if OC Marty Mornhinweg has a vote in the QB competition, his vote is for Geno Smith… even if Sanchez is healthy
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) August 30, 2013
The youngster out of West Virginia has plenty of talent, but let's not forget he is a rookie, he completed just 59.5 percent of his throws and tossed three interceptions in the preseason and he is throwing to Stephen Hill and Jeremy Kerley.
And in reality, it makes no difference who is under center.
The Bucs, whose secondary resembled a colander last season, have added elite corner Darrelle Revis, who is expected to play, physical safety Dashon Goldson, who can also line up in the slot, and rookie Johnthan Banks.
Greg Schiano's defense is already a very good unit, but against an offense in shambles like the Jets, it will be elite.
Indianapolis Colts
ESPN and Yahoo! Sports both rank the Colts as the 29th-best fantasy defense, so chances are they are available in your league.
With the Oakland Raiders as their Week 1 opponent, you are advised to quickly change that.
Terrelle Pryor has the athleticism and ability to extend plays to make me a little more uneasy about this pick, but whether it's him or Matt Flynn starting, there will still be an unproven commodity underneath center for the Raiders.
Throw in a shaky offensive line, a running back who averaged a career-low 3.3 yards per attempt last season and a mediocre receiving corps, and the Raiders will be a target for defensive streaming all season long.
Where will the Colts finish Week 1 in the fantasy rankings?
Although the Colts gave up some big numbers at times last year, they've added several pieces this offseason—Aubrayo Franklin, Ricky Jean-Francois, Erik Walden, Greg Toler, LaRon Landry—and should continue to improve with Chuck Pagano and Greg Manusky at the helm.
Unless you have a top-five defense, feel confident about plugging in the Horsies at home.

Even now, I still remember the sights, sounds, and smells, and it has been a long time since I have been back to the circus. However, it is something I know … [Read more...]

Despite being acquitted of underage-porn charges this past June, R. Kelly is still dealing with his fair share of problems. Currently, Kelly is battling with his longtime label, Jive, who hasn't yet set a release date for his 12 Play series finale, 4th Quarter. In the meantime, though, the self-proclaimed "remix killa"" keeps his name in the bright lights by creating another one of his trademark R&B freestyles over fellow Chicagoan Kanye West's current hit single, Love Lockdown. Before pressing play, it is imperative that you understand THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR SPEAKERS; Kells garbles the Auto-Tune intentionally to better fit the mood of the freestyle. Though Kelly's singing is a bit more natural over a Love Lockdown-type production, it is West who will be dropping his new project, 808's & Heartbreak, on November 24.

Fastest Thanksgiving House Tour EVER:
On the buffet the lone decoration is the wooden turkey. Squint, you will find him back there.
And a cornucopia will with paper apples.
Tomorrow is going to be more about counting our blessings and enjoying good food rather than decorating. The turkey shall be the centerpiece.
Happy Thanksgiving! I count you among my Blessings and hope you have a beautiful day!

Tsunade, Naruto, and the others start heading back to the Leaf Village where Tsunade will formally become the Fifth Hokage. At Tsunade's urging, they stop at a town with hot springs.
Opening Theme-
"GO!!!" by FLOW
None of the events from this episode happened in the original manga story.
Naruto is back on the way home to the Hidden Leaf Village now that he's fund Tsunade and hes agreed to become he Fifth Hokage. Though, she wants to drop by a local hot spring town first. Shizune reads in a guide book that it's called the Yunosato Hot Spring. Naruto says they should head straight home, and Jiraiya agrees. Tsunade though is able to tempt Jiraiya by telling him it has a lot beautiful women and mixed baths. Now heading on their way to the hot springs, two figures in the distance hide as they hold a picture of Tsunade.
Naruto jumps into the spring, but Jiraiya is far from thrilled how it's just him and Naruto. Outside, Shizune and Tsunade are wearing yukatas to go gambling. She'd rather not be in the hot spring with Jiraiya.
A little while later, Naruto has finished, but Jiraiya plans to stay. Not till some girls arrive. When Naruto returns to the room, he finds it's been ransacked. He quickly checks his backpack, but the First Hokage's necklace he got from Tsunade is missing. There is a sign posted on the wall that reads, "If you want the necklace back, give back the money.". It's signed from the Akagi Gang, but he doesn't know what money they're talking about. At the hot spring, a lot f girls came, but they are all flame monkeys. Sighing, he wishes to bathe with people.
Naruto shows up there the ransom note demanded, and the two men who were following Tsunade appear from behind the trees. Confused, they ask why he's there. One hols out the necklace wondering if they made a mistake of who the owner was. Seeing the evidence, Naruto rushes to attack, creating Shadow Clones At the hot springs, a lot of people showed up, but this time it's a lot of sumo men. He sighs he wants to bathe with a lot of women.
Naruto has got the necklace back, and learns these two men named Senta and Bunzo are debt collectors trying to get money back from Tsunade. they hand him the I.O.U. and he's shocked at the number of zeros. These men have been searching for Tsunade for three years and can't return to their families until they have collected the debt for their boss. Bunzo asks Naruto to talk to her about replying her debt.
Tsunade is in a pachinko parlor and has already lost. Shizune suggests now they should head back for a bath, but Tsunade asks Shizune to bring her bag in from the front desk. Witha scary face, she demands Shizune return her bag, and she runs out to claim it. As Tsunade sits own, someone she knows approaches her. At the hot spring, a lot of women have showed up to the baths, but they are a lot of old women. He cries out he was hoping for younger and more titillating women.
At the hot spring inn, Shizune gets the bag when worker hands her a note for Tsunade. Shocked by it's content, Shizune rushes off with the bag to find Tsunade. She returns to the panchinko parlor but can't find her. She tries to ask Tonton to track her down, but he can't seem to find her scent. Shizune realizes the sulfur form the hot spring is throwing off his nose. They both start running through the street and calling her name. Later, she still hasn't found her and they are both exhausted from running all over. reading the note once more, it reads the Akagi Gang has abducted Naruto. If they want him back unharmed Tsuande needs to return the money she owes. Shizune is worried about Naruto and if it's discovered the huge debts that Tsunade has. She might not be able to become the next hokage. She settles on handling this herself.
At the three cedar trees, Naruto is tied up to the tree as part of the plan to help these guys out. Senta calls out when he sees Tsunade approaching. They tell her to repay her debt in full or Naruto will be harmed. He does poor job of pretending to be afraid. Tsunade only says that his life isn't that important to her. The Akagi guys and Naruto are shocked at that answer. At the hot spring, the hot spring is jam packed with female monkeys, fat sumos, and elderly ladies. Frustrated, Jiriaya prays for patience.
At the cedar trees, Tsunade tells the Akagi gang that she doesn't care about Naruto's life. After Naruto yells at her as an old hag. Her tone changes and she says that was something she would of said a while back. When she's hokage, he'll be an important subordinate. Saying this is all she has on her, she grabs her wallet and tosses it on the ground. Bunzo checks the contents and it seemed filled with ryo. He tosses it in the air and slices it with his sword. It turns to smoke and leaves, and exposed as a fake wallet filled with money. She fires off needles from her mouth, rushes in, and takes them down with a single strike. As she starts to untie Naruto, he tries to explain they can't go home until they have been paid. She realizes that Naruto was in on the trick and he's determined to force her to pay it back. Naruto disappears in a puff of smoke, along with Senta and Bunzo. All three were Naruto Shadown Clones, but this Tsuande isn't what she appears either. She is actually Shizune using the Transformation Justu. Naruto is in the distance watching with the Akagi Gang. Asking what they should now do, Naruto tells them that Tsunade carries around a big briefcase that's sure to have money inside.
At the hot spring inn, Naruto and Akagi gang spy on Tsunade in her room. Seeing the case, Naruto has a plan. Shizune enters Tsunade's room and picks up the case, claiming to take it to the front desk for safe keeping. She runs out to the Akagi gang and changes back into Naruto. As they celebrate, a fishing line swoops in and grabs the case away. In frustration, Naruto yells out that is she's the hokage that she should pay back her debts the way a hokage should. He throws a kunai when she's not looking and cuts the line with a kunai. He grabs the bag and tosses it to the Akagi gang. Bunzo grabs it and he tells them to run for it. Running through the street, Tsuande gives chase. Naruto punches at her to slow her down, and to his surprise he hits her. Though, in a puff of smoke, it's revealed this was Tonton, the pet pig, transformed to look like Tsuande. From the other end of the street, Tsuande comes rushing toward them. He gets the case and tells them to run. Naruto creates several Shadow Clones with suit cases and they scatter. Though, Shizune, in the disguise of Tsunade, makes just as many Shadow Clones to chase each one down throughout the city.
Elsewhere, the real Tsunade is enjoying herself with an old friend. A man enters with an important message for his boss. Naruto is still running from Shizune's Shadow Clones of Tsunade. She catches him and with a punch he turns to smoke. Her clones just keep catching clones of Naruto. After narrowing down the pack, the clones gather together and spots another Naruto. He's now being chased by a horde of Tsuandes. Bunzo and Senta are find them and try to catch up. Finally, she catches Naruto with the bag. As he struggles to get free, the case pops open. Senta grabs the wallet, but all that inside are sheets of many I.O.U.s. As Shizune tries sneaking away, the real Tsunade appears. She demands to know what Shizune is been doing, and she finally releases her Transformation Justu. The man with Tsuande asks if Senta and Bunzo are with the Akagi Gang. They recognize him as Boss Jirocho. He knows their names and has a message for them.
It comes to a shock to everyone that Tsunade payed her debt back to Akagi Gang a year ago. Shizune forgot all about that time when they were in the Akagi's territory a year ago. Jirocho reads them part of the message he recently received. It's from their boss telling them to return home.
The Akagi Gang returns to their home, and Naruto, Tsunade, Shizune, and Tonton leave for the Hidden Leaf Village. Naruto is confused why Shizune wanted the case back so badly if there wasn't money inside. She tells him that she was worried that Tsunade wouldn't be accepted as Hokage if it was discovered how much debt she had. Tsuande laughs it off that debt and hokage are unrelated. Naruto doesn't see a problem since the money was payed back. Shizune mumbles that just the Akagi gang debt was paid. before Naruto could ask, Tsunade just laughs it off. Tonton starts to call out, and she asks what they forgot. Back at the hot spring, beautiful young women enter the spring, but they run off screaming when they see Jiraiya floating as if he's dead and red all over. Delirious from the heat, all he can think about is that young girls have arrived as he sinks into the water.

Google Android 2.2 to Support Flash, Going Where Apple Won't
Google Android 2.2 to Support Flash, Going Where Apple Won't
Clint Boulton
Posted 2010-04-28
Google's Andy Rubin told The New York Times that Android 2.2, or Froyo, will fully support Adobe's Flash technology. The position stands in stark contrast to Apple, which has eschewed Flash for its iPhone and iPad. In case it wasn't clear before, there is a new crusade among the mobile Web, or rather an old crusade with newer players, with Apple unapologetically waving the proprietary flag and Google taking up the open mantle.
Google's Android director has confirmed that Android 2.2, the forthcoming version of the company's operating system for smartphones, tablets and netbooks, will support Adobe's Flash technology at launch. Flash is the industry standard for multimedia on the Web. Apple has staunchly refused to support the technology for both its popular iPhone and new iPad tablet computer. Enter Google and Android, whose multiple iterations are seeing strong adoption even as they confound application developers and consumers for the
they represent.
Andy Rubin, the vice president for engineering at Google who spearheaded the creation of Android after selling the same-named company to Google in 2005,
told the New York Times
that Android 2.2, code-named Froyo, will fully support Flash.
This should ensure that Websites written in Flash will run smoothly on Android 2.2 devices without developers having to rewrite the Websites to accommodate Android. Perhaps more interesting was Rubin's comment about the support. Sometimes being open "means not being militant about the things consumers are actually enjoying," he told the Times. It's tough to accurately divine intent from this context without a full transcription of the conversation, but it seems that Rubin is taking a shot at Apple.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs has shown disdain for Flash and even Adobe, which he has described as "lazy." Jobs and Co. have publicly endorsed HTML5 for Web multimedia, a position the company holds in common with Google. Apple lit Adobe's fuse April 8 when it
the new iPhone Developer Program License Agreement, which has been revised for the company's
iPhone 4.0
, slated to appear in June. Specifically, Apple's Clause 3.3.1 notes: "Applications may only use Documented APIs in the manner prescribed by Apple and must not use or call any private APIs. Applications must be originally written in Objective-C, C, C++, or JavaScript as executed by the iPhone OS WebKit engine, and only code written in C, C++, and Objective-C may compile and directly link against the Documented APIs..." Rubin's comments to the Times stand in stark contrast to Apple's positioning not only on Flash, but with respect to the app programming industry at large. "We use the same tools we expect our third-party developers to," Rubin told the Times. "We have an SDK we give to developers and when we write our Gmail app, we use the same SDK. A lot of guys have private APIs. We don't. That's on policy and on technology. If there's a secret API to hook into billing system we open up that billing system to third parties. If there's a secret API to allow application multitasking, we open it up. There are no secret APIs. That is important to highlight for Android sake. Open is open and we live by our own implementations." Note Rubin specifically said Google has no private APIs, the very same application hooks Apple is outlawing on the iPhone. What Google's Android team builds for its own use, it frees up to others. What Apple builds, it builds for itself and protects it fiercely with restrictions. And when application programmers write software for Apple's App Store, they must follow that company's regimen and processes to the letter. In case it wasn't clear before, there is a new crusade among the mobile Web, or rather an old crusade with newer players, with Apple unapologetically waving the proprietary flag and Google taking up the open mantle. While it will please many developers that Android 2.2 will support Flash, it could also extend the
fragmentation issue
plaguing the OS. Android 1.5, 1.6, 2.0 and 2.1 all comprise the four flavors of Android. Adding a fifth one to the mix will widen this fragmentation, especially if Google fails to extend its Flash support from Android 2.1 to the previous iterations.

German children's author Otfried Preussler dies
BERLIN (AP) - Otfried Preussler, a bestselling German children's author who created "The Robber Hotzenplotz" and "The Little Witch" books, has died. He was 89.
His publisher says Preussler died Monday at his home in Prien am Chiemsee.
The Stuttgart, Germany-based Thienemann publishing house said in a statement Wednesday that 50 million copies of Preussler's books were printed worldwide and translated into more than 50 languages.
Preussler won the European Youth book prize for his novel "Krabat," published in 1971 and translated in English as "The Satanic Mill," in 1973.
In recent years, Preussler was among a number of authors whose works were criticized in Germany for containing terms deemed offensive to minorities.
Preussler was born in Reichenberg, now the Czech town of Liberec, in 1923. He is survived by a daughter.
