Oh Gordon please come Back!!! We really need you and miss u! You are our closer and our best scorer! If you return ahead of schedule, I will give you my lunch money, lucky pencil, and my cherished Anthony Davis Jersey!

Where does he find these creepy Eric Gordon screencaps and vidclips???
Honestly, we may be stuck with him because of his contract, so might as well at least try to warm up to him.
In about 4 or 24 weeks from now, Gordon will surprise us all and ball completely out when on the court for the Hornets.
You're welcome. Broussard wrote me a direct message that said "thanks but no thanks" then deleted the message. No screen capture. EG has since blocked me from following him. So he got that Unbreakable pic, but it sure wasn't me that sent it. Someone else here I guess..
Woah, I'm not the biggest Gorden fan either but that was uncalled for.

That latter part was spearheaded by junior guard Chelsea Gray, who scored 20 of her career-high 28 points in the second half of Monday night's 71-56 victory at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
First place in the Atlantic Coast Conference was at stake and there was rarely a dull moment.
"At one point, we had to calm down and take a deep breath," Duke guard Tricia Liston said.
Chloe Pavlech hit a 3-pointer with 10:51 for the Terrapins' first lead at 44-42. Duke (22-1 overall, 12-0 ACC) responded by scoring the next nine points, the first seven of those by Gray.
"We started getting stops on defense and then converting on offense," Gray said. "We started executing and getting easy scores."
"I don't think the score is indicative in terms of how this team fought," Frese said.
Duke coach Joanne P. McCallie said Gray's performance in the final nine minutes was reflective of what she's capable of doing.
"An important message to her in terms of her ability to elevate in such a physical game," McCallie said. "She gave us a little psychological boost."
Gray made 13 free throws, including 10-for-10 in the second half.
"She definitely had her way with us," Frese said.
McCallie said she was impressed with how the Blue Devils handled this latest assignment as it was the team's fourth game in a row against a foe in the league's upper half of the standings.
"To be physical and to play against a physical team," McCallie said. "It wasn't perfect. The film is going to have all sorts of interesting messages for us. …
"It got kind of crazy out there."
Frese received repeated first-half warnings from the officiating crew. Later, former NBA official Dee Kantner assessed the first technical and, before play resumed, Denise Brooks tagged the coach with another.
"I'm always going to fight for our players. That is obvious," Frese said.
ACC scoring leader Tianna Hawkins of
Alyssa Thomas and Katie Rutan paced
"It was us rushing and not playing our game," Rutan said.
"Anytime you went to drive, you weren't going to be able to get to the basket," Frese said.
Liston added 17 points and Elizabeth Williams posted 16 points and 10 rebounds for Duke. Two Blue Devils starters — Haley Peters and Chloe Wells — went scoreless. The other starter, guard Alexis Jones, scored four of Duke's first 13 points and that was it for her.
The Blue Devils built a pair of 10-point first-half leads, but

KLove is teh #7 cuz he dominations teh playoffs.
This trade makes me wanna vomit.
___#! Rudy Fan___
[size/HUGE] RUDY [/size]
No to any deal that has Jefferson staying.
"He can say what he wants...we know we have a great organization. He got his stats...and as always, he got the L, too." - Trevor Booker
I say no to the trade. I don't like Love that much. He is a fantastic rebounder and a good offensive player but plays NO defense. Love and Jefferson both have 2 assists per game. Al has 1 TO, Love has 2 TO. Love is averaging 35% fg this year, 20% from 3. He is whining and complaining about being in Minnesota. He plays no defense. He plays no defense. He plays no defense.
I have just lived through the Boozer and Jefferson era (hopefully). I have two young bigs who play defense and have potential that can equal/surpass Love. And I know we love to over-rate our players, but Kanter and Favors could be the real deal, unlike so many of the players we have hoped for (Alec Burks). Why would you give that up?
We all whine about wanting top picks, but are ready to throw away one that we actually do have for a very, very good player, but a player that has never led, never won, never done what we want a player to do. Love is a Boozer-type player.
No thanks.
Priority #1 for the Jazz: Get a new coach.
Priority #2: Make sure Al is gone.
After that, the sky is the limit.
Hell I'd probably trade Millsap and Jefferson for Love. But Favors feels like a throw in on that trade. He is worth more than a throw in and so is Kanter.
Welcome aboard Snyder, Exum and Hood. Here is to hoping this season is more entertaining than the last 3.
I think my hope was fulfilled. I watched 5X more Jazz basketball this year than any of the last 3.
I'd rather have Favors than Kevin Love. Not a fan of Kevin Love.
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered." - Thomas Jefferson
Swap in Kanter for Favors and I'd consider it, begrudgingly. I see no reason for Minnesota to do this, they would need more incentive.
I'd rather have Kanter and his potential than Love and his contract. Love has never won anything or led his team anywhere. Plus Al often outplays him when they're matched up.
However, there is some grumbling around Philadelphia about lining up a trade for a center.

As of December 2012, Illinois is one of 12 Democratic state government trifectas.
Article IV of the Illinois Constitution establishes when the Illinois General Assembly, of which the Senate is a part, is to be in session. Section 5 of Article IV states that the General Assembly will convene its regular session on the second Wednesday of January.
Section 5 also creates rules for the convening of special sessions. The section allows the Governor of Illinois to convene the General Assembly or the Senate alone. When the Governor calls a special session, the General Assembly can generally only deal with matters related to the purpose of the session, as stated by the Governor's proclamation of the session, but they can also deal with impeachments or confirmation of appointments. Section 5 also allows the presiding officers of both houses of the General Assembly to convene a special session through joint proclamation.

Elections for the office of Illinois State Senator were held in Illinois on November 2, 2010. Seats in every third district (1, 4, 7...) and also district 51 are up for election in 2010, for a total of 21 of 59 districts.
The signature-filing deadline for candidates wishing to run in these elections was November 2, 2009, and the primary election day was February 2, 2010.
In 2010, the total amount of contributions raised in state senate campaigns was $19,051,437. The top 10 donors were: [6]

Article IV of the Illinois Constitution states: To be eligible to serve as a member of the General Assembly, a person must be a United States citizen, at least 21 years old, and for the two years preceding his election or appointment a resident of the district which he is to represent.
| How Vacancies are filled in State Legislatures
Whenever there is a vacancy in the Illinois State Senate, the Illinois Constitution mandates that the seat must be filled by appointment when allowed by law. The appointment must be made within 30 days after the vacancy. If a vacancy by a member of the Illinois Senate has more than twenty-eight months remaining in the term, the appointment is interim until the next general election and in this case, a special election must be held to fill the balance of the unserved term. All other Senate vacancies and vacancies in the House of Representatives should be made by appointment with the person appointed being a member of the same political party that last held the seat[7].
The vacancy must be filled by the respective party organizations covering the legislative district[8]. This must be voted on by the respective committeemen and committeewomen representing the legislative district[9]
- See also: Redistricting in Illinois
The Illinois General Assembly is responsible for redistricting. If the General Assembly fails to meet the deadlines to have a redistricting plan in place, an 8-member back-up commission is used. Illinois is one of a few states to enact a hybrid method of redistricting.
2010 census
Illinois received its 2010 local census data on February 14, 2011. The state population increased from about 12.4 million to 12.8 million residents, a 3.3 percent growth.[10] The state's Latino population grew by 33% from 2000 to 2010, reaching 2 million. Meanwhile, non-Latino population declined by 0.8%.[11]
2011 was the first time under the current state Constitution that one party -- namely the Democrats -- controlled the state House, Senate and governorship during redistricting. A number of Republicans expressed concern that Democrats would draw partisan maps to serve their own interests.[12]
Democrats released proposed maps of the 59 Senate districts on May 19.[13] Republicans said the maps would likely guarantee a Republican minority for the next decade. The new lines merged a number of current Republican districts, potentially leading to runoffs between incumbents in several districts. Republicans released their counter-proposal on May 26, saying their map was fairer than the Democrats.[14] The Senate passed the Democrats plan by a vote of 35-22.[15] Gov. Pat Quinn signed the bill on June 3,[16] [17] but GOP leaders filed a federal lawsuit on July 21 alleging the legislative maps unfairly targeted Republicans and discriminated against African-Americans and Hispanics. It was ultimately dismissed.[18]
- See also: Comparison of state legislative salaries
As of 2012, members of the Illinois House of Representatives are paid $67,836/year. Additionally, legislators receive $132/day per diem.[19]
The $67,836/year that Illinois Representatives are paid as of 2010 is an increase over the $57,619/year they were paid during legislative sessions in 2007. Per diem has increased from $125/day in 2007 to $132/day in 2011. [20]

We've heard your feedback and are continuing to build a better Slickdeals. Click here to check out the updated site.
Welcome, Unregistered.

Podium Rules and Discussion ThreadWhat is The Podium?
The purpose of The Podium is to provide a community where controversial topics can be discussed in an environment that is conducive to open conversation. Everyone has an opinion and should be able to share it without fear of attack or reprisal. These discussions tend to get heated so the below guidelines and rules are strictly enforced so we can maintain a forum where everyone feels comfortable contributing.
How do we maintain this environment of open conversation?
Some rules have been put in place below as a guideline to follow. It is impossible to list every possible infraction so please remember this is just a guideline and will be updated as needed. Moderators will remove posts that go against the above stated purpose even if not specifically mentioned in the below rules. If you question why a post is removed, private message (PM) a moderator. Do not make a post asking why.
Well thought out posts encourage a back-and-forth discussion. Based on previous experiences, we have found that members who continually criticize the opinions of others but rarely share their own side tend to kill off discussions. Also, members who post statements as facts that are questionable and/or not widely known and are unable to or unwilling to back it up with links or other evidence tend to divert from true debate. With that in mind, the moderators reserve the right to remove members who we believe have a negative impact on the community as a whole. This decision will be based on a consensus of the moderators.
When a debate topic is presented, members are expected to remain on topic. Discussions do tend to go into various tangents and as long as there is a clear path of discussion that lead there, it will be allowed. However, something clearly off topic will be removed.
What makes a good post?
This is a place of opinions and not everyone will share the same opinion. To help stimulate discussion, when you post an opinion, we encourage you to include facts or experiences that enforce your opinion and if needed, back the facts up with links or evidence. If you post an article as a reply to an existing thread, we also encourage you to state the reason you are posting this if it is not evident and what your thoughts are on the subject.
When starting a new thread, the title must follow the below rules and fit into the overall purpose of the podium. All commentary should be kept inside the thread. If using an article to begin a thread, the title of the article should be used. The exception to this would be if a debate topic is being presented and the article is just being used as ancillary information.
What should be avoided in posts?
Since many of the rules below tend to be subjective, it is advisable to keep your posts away from any gray areas where a moderator decision will need to be made. Some examples include:
The following list is presented to be used as a guideline. It is impossible to list every rule so please use common sense when posting. The moderators reserve the right to delete any post the breaks one of the below rules or goes against the intent of SlickDeals and the Podium. If you find one of your posts was removed, please send a PM to one of the moderators of the podium found at the bottom or the Podium forum list or by clicking here. Do not create a "why was my post deleted" thread.
1. No personal attacks are allowed. Personal attacks will be deleted. Controversial conversations always tend to get heated, so in order to enjoy the debates, personal attacks will NOT be tolerated. Personal attacks are considered to be, not not limited to, name calling, labeling (I.E. racist, bigot, etc), or negative comments directed at another member. This can also include the use of certain images and smileys such as crazy and sheep. Whether you call someone a sheep directly or imply it with the graphic, it is still an attack. In addition, if you see someone breaking a rule, use the mod alert button and please include comments as to what you think is the rule being broken if it is not clearly obvious. Calling someone a troll or other such term will get you a warning, so use the mod alert button instead.
2. Use common sense when posting. The same type of rules in the lounge apply to The Podium. No nudity, no heavy profanity (which is filtered anyway), no obscene photographs or pictures.
3. No complaining about politics in The Podium. That is what it is for. If you don't want to get involved in political debates, then feel free to leave The Podium and join any other forum on the site.
4. (REVISED) From now on, no trolling via thread titles, include a link to the article, and your take (your own summary if you choose). Posts SHOULD NOT INCLUDE LARGE BLOCKS OF TEXT FROM THE ORIGINAL ARTICLE. You can still quote from the article, but only use what you need to make your point (you guys are kind of doing this now by bolding particular parts- just quote what you might otherwise have bolded). Also, please err on the side of under-quoting.
5. Please refrain from posting content from chain emails. Most chain emails have been proven to be untrue in some form or fashion, and they are simply not good sources for topics of debate. If for you some reason you just feel that you have to post this kind of stuff, please verify the contents with www.breakthechain.org [breakthechain.org] or www.snopes.com [snopes.com]. If proven untrue, just don't post it. Chain emails that are proven untrue will be deleted.
6. No spamming of the message boards. Spamming includes, but is not limited to, starting several new threads on the same topic and bumping several threads on similar subjects to the front page. If similar threads are active at the same time, one of the threads will be left open to continue discussions and all others will be closed. In addition, posting links to videos or pictures as a joke and/or insult will be considered spam. Posts that are clearly off topic in debate threads are also considered spam.
7. No post-and-run. A post-and-run is someone who will continually post an article without offering their own thoughts or opinions or does not stick around to participate in the thread. The keyword is continually. We do not require opinions on every article, but it is recommended, but if this becomes an apparent trend, it will be stopped.
8. No trolling. There have been lengthy discussions on what is trolling. The official definition that we use is seen here. [wikipedia.org]. You can also see a short list here of what we consider trolling.
9. Use the proper category icon when starting a new thread. News should be used for threads without a clear debate topic. Debate threads require a clear debate topic and should remain on topic as much as possible as stated above. Going purposefully off topic in a debate thread will be seen as spamming.
The purpose of The Podium is to allow anyone and everyone to voice their opinions on controversial topics, without fear of censorship. If you have something to say, say it! If you have questions or need clarification on any of the above rules, or simply wish to ask if a post is OK before you post it, please PM a moderator. So now that you are here, why not step up to The Podium?!
The SlickDeals.net mod team.

Above are the new rules that will take effect in the coming days. One major change that you will notice are category icons for threads. The categories for now will be News and Debate. The difference between the two will be threads with the debate category MUST have a clear debate topic. All other posts will be in the news category. This does not mean that you are free to post any news article. We will still follow the same standards we have always had for what is allowed. This means no chain e-mails, gossip pieces, or the like.
The charter has been adjusted for the categories to include:
Personally, I'm interested in keeping other people from building Utopia, because the more you believe you can create heaven on earth the more likely you are to set up guillotines in the public square to hasten the process. -- James Lileks
In the recent thread, where 124nic8 was attempting to justify MSNBC's inference of racism towards a specific protest, and that misrepresenting a black man, as a white man was acceptable. His rationale is that there is a possibility of racism, and that it was not incorrect to imply that a significant portion of them may be motivated by racism, since in some survey, a significant number of white people indicated they had racial bias.
My problem with that is, we have no way of knowing if any of the 12 people there were motivated by racism, and there is no justification for assuming that any of those have a racial bias at all, unless they display such.
Statistics are great, when one is discussing, "When you have a million people of X or Y trait, and the probability of either is A, or B".... And then extrapolating a number of how many of them are likely to have any specific trait.
It is entirely another, when one is willing to allow for probability to lead to condemnation... To use stereotypes to accuse specific people of engaging in behaviors... Isn't that bigotry itself?
It is one thing, when one is discussing large groups... probability is more relevant. However, when you start trying to assign traits to specific individuals, that is where it is less relevant. When you can do that, then your sample size is far too small for statistics to be useful.
So how might one go about that, if one were going to defend that possibility? Statistics are one option. Now the validity and applicibility of those statistics are subject to debate... and if they are not applicable then great... demonstrate it, or claim it, or whatever. Why is this an issue that requires moderator intervention? This is a debate! People bring what evidence they have at their disposal, and if it fits, fine, if it doesn't that's fine too, and can be pointed out.
I think this gets to the point I've been making around here. There is so little to debate in this topic that people are going to great lengths to come up with something. One side posts a thread and says, see MSNBC sux... the other side feels the compulsion to defend that and so gets into a debate about how racisim is not implausible b/c a certain percentage of people are racist by their own admission. It's just an argument. It's something to take or leave. If you think it's worth debating, then you debate it... if not then you don't. I don't understand this impulse towards more control.
One side posts a thread and people jump on a bandwagon or whatever... that's trivial, but that's why we have news threads. People invest themselves in threads and they are animated by arguments and disagreement, and beyond that are also irritated by the wrong kind of argument, i guess. But the fact remains that you invest yourself in the thread in the first place and I think sometimes you've just gotta leave it alone if it bothers you that much.
The "vice of specialization" entails the denial of intellect. "It is a denial because it rests on the superstition that understanding is identical with professional skill. The universal formula is: 'You cannot understand or appreciate my art (science) (trade) unless you practice it.' " - Jacques Barzun
I see your point, I really do.
I guess there is a fundamental thing in me that nags me about it... That trying to think in the way that is required to, in order to see the argument from the other side, creates a certain level of cognitive dissonance. It bothers me to see something that I perceive to be so wrong, and in the previous case hypocritical, in using stereotyping to to imply racial bigotry, without direct evidence.
Perhaps it would be better if we did place those that use such tactics to argue, that we consider ludicrous, on ignore.
I envy you your ability to just walk away... It happens to irritate me, like an OCD person seeing a crooked picture.
I said the odds are that at least a few of the attendees were racist.
That means a few of the several hundreds attendees.
I already reinterated this at least once. I'm don't know why you continue to misconstrue what I wrote.
My statement was about statistics. You've presented nothing to dispute that statement.
They were not talking about all of the protesters, they were focusing on those that were armed, and implying they were a threat, and one with racial overtones at that.
We will never agree on this.
You think they are justified in saying whatever they want, as long as it is statistically possible for it to be so.
My problem it is that 12 people is too small of a group to use statistics reasonably, with the intent of utilizing it to justify applying stigma. They were not talking about everyone there, they were not using a generalized report of the rally as a springboard.
They were talking about guns, and racial overtones in conjunction. That limits the scope of the discussion there to those 12 people.
But I do know that when I wrote "attendees" I was not referring to the armed attendees.
If I had meant that, I would have written that.
Please provide any reason to believe they were discussing it in a more generalized way, as I did not see them expand the conversation to apply to anyone other than those 12, or in reference to anyone that was not armed at other rallies.
I apologize for continuing this debate here, but it is an unfortunate side effect of having to provide an example.

text: Things to do in Tropical North Queensland The Tropical North Queensland region is the closest gateway to the Great Barrier Reef – the world's largest, most spectacular coral reef system and the is the only living thing on earth visible from space. Dazzle your senses with the rich variety of marine life and the brilliance of colours that defies description. Safe among the velvet-like mantles and plump tentacles of their hosts and clownfish are seen everywhere. Clouds of purple anthias flock like birds around the delicate, lace-like brances of gogonian sea fans while other species of butterfly fish, surgeon fish, parrot fish and trigger fish are beyond number. You can experience the Great Barrier Reef on any level – diving, snorkelling, sailing, cruising, liveaboard vessels, kayaking, scenic flights and island hopping are a part of everyday life. The underwater wonderland of the Great Barrier Reef offers you a pleasure that can be found nowhere else. The Cairns and Great barrier Reef marine operators have Australia's largest and most comprehensive range of experiences concentrated in the one region. There is no place on earth better suited to the needs of each visitor seeking to leant to dive, do an introductory or certified dive over clusters of coral or a ship wreck or snorkelling. Or try Scuba-Doo or a helmet dive if you want to keep your hair dry. With over 50 tours departing for the Great Barrier Reef and islands daily from Cairns, Port Douglas, Mission Beach and Cape Tribulation – the only hard part about getting to the Great Barrer Reef is deciding which boat to go on! Tours and cruises to the Great Barrier Reef offer a range of activites including the underwater experiences of diving and snorkelling. However for those who prefer to stay dry, you have the choice of spacious pontoons, tranquil sailing or a fast catamaran to a secluded island. You can still check out the coral and schools of florescent coloured fish or turtles in a semi-submersible and glass bottom boat, or take the scenic route in a helicopter or sea plane. Escaping to a tropical island is not a dream, it's a reality. From uninhabited secluded retreats to lively islands full of day trippers, luxurious island resorts to beach camp sites; all of our 17 islands are pearls of the Great Barrier Reef. But don't just take our word work it. Come and see it for yourself. Whether you are learning to dive, doing a liveaboard or travelling on a day boat snorkelling, diving or other top-side activities, safety and satisfaction are the key elements in the region's reputation as a premier destination. All reef activities are conducted by caring and experienced professionals who place an emphasis on safe enjoyment by providing state-of-the-art equipment and training that is inline with the world's best practice.

2. Treat with Masque for Beautiful Color and let sit for 15 minutes to achieve super-soft, beautifully conditioned hair.
3. Section hair with a side part and set in small hot rollers all over.
4. Brush through curls and comb them into a wave. Spray with Imperméable for hold and humidity protection.
5. As a final step, lightly mist with Royal Blowout for even more softness.

Tarte Cosmetics At-A-Glance
Strengths: Excellent foundation; great cheek stain and powder blush; superior pressed powder and eyelining pencils; good mascaras; unique, innovative, beautiful packaging; complete ingredient lists on the company's Web site.
Weaknesses: Expensive; some gimmicky products and claims; lacks matte eyeshadow options.
Tarte Cosmetics CEO and founder Maureen Kelly started Tarte in 1999, supposedly out of a need to create a cosmetics line that "would prove that glamour can be good for you." Well, to be honest, we didn't know that glamour could be bad for anyone, no matter who was selling it. In this case, good-for-you glamour is about the products being "natural." Of course, lots of women believe that natural ingredients are the only way to go because they're told, and unfortunately often believe, that the synthetic ingredients in cosmetic products are toxic and poisonous for your skin. That is a misguided belief!
Ironically, despite Tarte's attention-getting marketing concept, their products aren't any more natural or healthier than loads of other products. We take particular issue with the company's claim of being preservative-free, synthetic dye-free, and talc-free. Not only are these ingredients not a problem for most people, but also many of Tarte's products do contain them! What is that about? Didn't anyone at Tarte read their own ingredient labels?
We are beyond understanding how a cosmetics company can base their advertising on what their products do not contain, yet fail to realize, or just won't acknowledge, that their products in fact do contain them—the very ingredients they tell you are toxic or poisonous for your skin. We mean, really, if your products (in this instance Tarte products) do contain isododecane, imidazolidinyl urea, butylene glycol, parabens, PEG/PPG-18/18 dimethicone, aluminum starch octenylsuccinate, that's the pot calling the kettle black. Whatever… if Tarte chooses to mislead and misinform the consumer it doesn't seem to matter, because many uninformed women won't notice the hypocrisy—they'll just accept Tarte's claims at face value.
Marketing hype and ingredient deception aside, the ingredients Tarte does leave out of its products are sulfates (though sulfates are rarely used in makeup products anyway, so it is a trait most makeup products share), phthalates, and synthetic fragrance (but "natural" fragrance isn't any better for skin). That's nice, but in the scope of things, not really all that special.
We appreciate that Tarte conveys their message without the "granola," antiglamour, or anti-elegance image that's characteristic of many "natural" lines. The trade-off is that you're going to pay extra for Tarte's glamorous image and packaging. Although there are a handful of products in the Tarte lineup worth the splurge, if you only shopped this line for cosmetics, your wallet would definitely be lighter—and there's no need to splurge to the point of incurring debt just to outfit your makeup bag with all things Tarte. After all, you aren't going to be applying the packaging to your skin.
Those who shop carefully should pay close attention to Tarte's foundations, blush options, eye pencils, and a handful of their innovative products. If you're looking for matte eyeshadows, however, you're out of luck. Tarte isn't as full-featured as several other makeup artistry lines (Bobbi Brown and Laura Mercier come to mind), and Tarte doesn't outdo Rimmel or Sonia Kashuk at the drugstore, but their good products are indeed good.

Support the Museum by becoming a member today!
Every second Wednesday of the month, the Museum of the Confederacy and the Appomattox Court House National Historical Park are partnering to bring the Civil War Sesquicentennial to Appomattox. Each month, a knowledgable speaker will lead a discussion on a topic or event's 150th anniversary. The talks take place at the Museum of the Confederacy-Appomattox.
On February 17, 1864, the Confederate submarine H. L. Hunley made history by sinking the Screw Sloop of War USS Housatonic as it lay off the harbor of Charleston, South Carolina. This, the first submarine to sink an enemy ship, was lost after its success and not found until 1995. It was raised in August, 2000, and is, today, at the Warren Lasch Conservation Center at the old naval base located in North Charleston. Join Public Relations Manager Sam Craghead for this lunchtime talk.
Admission is free, but does not include entrance to the Museum's exhibits.

Consciousness is not the only thing that materialist know to exist. I can't speak for all materialists, but I do not limit my evidence of the physical world to the direct experiences of my five senses or my subjective experience. I can't see a microbe without a microscope, but I know they exist. I can't see the Galilean moons without a telescope, but I believe they exist. I can't directly experience any one else's experiences, but I don't doubt they have them.
Arguing that materialists world view is self contradicting is just playing with words.
You are completely missing the point. This is not a question of direct/indirect evidence, nor whether you trust the reporting of results in scientific journals. All evidence, even your sensory input, is indirect.
I'm a rationalist, skeptic, scientist. All "truth" is provisional. I am highly confident about quarks, microbes, and the Galilean moons. But I cannot rule out the possibility that all the evidence I have—my experience of reading text books and scientific papers, discussions with other scientists—I cannot rule out that all of that is an illusion. But even if "everything" might be an illusion, I cannot rule out that I am experiencing that which may or may not be an illusion. The existence of my own subjective agency is the one thing I cannot rule out. There is simply no way to explain my subject agency in terms of clockwork mechanism, however detailed or sophisticated. Like the quote Sam put in about the gian clockwork (mill?) brain—so huge you could walk inside and see of the giant gears turning, where is the "consciousness" in those mechanisms?

White Jeans you can live in all Summer!!
By Vikki Victoria
from New York, NY
About Me Sexy, Trendy
These jeans suck everything in with out creating muffin top and gives a smooth fit. I'll be wearing these all summer casual daytime and/or evening: dress up at dinner or clubbing & dancing.I'm usually a size 27- these jeans run big, believe me. Order them two sizes down- I bought a size 25 and they fit perfectly. Didn't even need to hem the length- I'm 5"3' and the length is PERFECT!

Love them - but the rise number is wrong
By love&
from Santa Monica
About Me Casual, Classic, Sexy, Trendy
I love these jeans, and this is my third pair. But 7 for All Mankind, PLEASE correct the rise information so more women who want a more medium rise will know about them and try them! Your product info states they have a 6.5" rise in the front!!! This is incorrect. You can even see it in the photos - they are not a super low rise pant. Every other site that sells them has the correct number (more like 8"), but the manufacturer has the wrong number. Get with it!
Merchant response: Hi! We are happy to hear you love your new jeans, but apologize for any confusion about the rise. All of our jeans are measured from below the waistband, which is roughly an inch depending on the style. You can find this information in the "Standard Measurement" tab on each product detail page.
Good fit, but too thick for summer
By Pretty Posh
from Virginia
These are a good looking pair of jeans, the fabric is thick enough so that you cannot see through it, and they fit well - true to size. The only problem - for me - was that the fabric was a little *too* thick, and whatever is used to make us look "a size smaller" really grabs the skin. Come summer, I cannot imagine wearing these around in the heat.Bottom line is that, sure, if you want to look good in a pair of white jeans, and either don't care if it's hot out or want to look really hot *yourself* (lol) - I recommend them. It takes pains to be beautiful, right? But not for this gal ... I know I would never reach for them, so back they have to go. I'm a big fan of the brand, though, so I'll be shopping for another style in white.

I wanted a crisp, white skinny jean that was tight around the ankles. This is just what I was looking for. I have not worn them yet, but they feel like they will be comfortable and hold their shape.

The loss of Prof. Grothe was a complete shock to me especially I spent a whole semester (September 2011 - Feb 2012) at MIIS, almost meeting him on a weekly basis (either in a cultural gathering, meeting, lunch invitation, etc.) He was a great host not just to me but to all international students. The first time I meet him, you felt internal peace and warm connection with his attitude and kind heart. I am saddened but at the same time, I am happy that he left this world knowing that we all cared about him, respected him and will always remember him.
Dr. Peter Grothe is a WORLD CITIZEN who promoted peace and international collaboration and understandings...A man who believe that human beings are the same everywhere on earth...
I / We ... will always remember you.
I learnt a lot from him and I will always promote his tolerance and peaceful initiatives and will share it to my community.
RIP my dear professor.

ELON — Whether Davidson served as a model for Elon University during its Division I infancy, it often looked that way.
Davidson is a private school in North Carolina, a college making a name for itself in basketball.
The frequently suggested perception is that Elon was trying to follow Davidson's lead. That was enhanced when Elon joined the Southern Conference, where Davidson had been a long-time member.
Then a few years ago, Elon hired a Davidson assistant coach to direct its men's basketball program.
Elon president Leo Lambert said the comparisons to Davidson might be overstated, but it begged another question when Elon announced Thursday that it's headed to the Colonial Athletic Association in about 13 months.
Just who among the collection of CAA school is most like Elon?
To that, it looks like it might be Hofstra, in Lambert's estimation using an academic profile and university mission. It could be William & Mary as well, he said.
Yet Davidson has a piece in all this.
After all, Davidson's announced departure this spring from the Southern Conference preceded Elon's decision, another dagger for a league that already had lost a chunk of its football luster.
"We were very concerned about Davidson College looking at other options as well," Lambert said.
This time, Elon is taking a different path. Davidson chose the Atlantic 10 Conference.
Elon's association in the CAA will be something that's molded across time, commissioner Tom Yeager said. There's time for Elon's identity to evolve.
Yeager spoke of the CAA's interest in Elon's trajectory, "not as much about 2013, but about 2025."
During the assessment process, Lambert said he communicated regularly with Davidson president Carol Quillen, conversations that he described as evaluating the landscape of conference alignments.
He also categorized Elon and Davidson with significant differences in makeup.
Yet he wasn't hesitant to note common ground with Hofstra, a school in Hempstead, N.Y. (on Long Island).
"Elon looks very much like Hofstra," Lambert said. "There's a fair North / South comparison."
In other aspects, such as size and general similarities, comparisons to William & Mary might work best, Lambert said.
Across time, we might better see how Elon stacks up with Hofstra and William & Mary, both academically and athletically.
Those notions to hook Elon on the same rung as Davidson might fade as they go their separate ways.
"My experience for 21 years has been in the Southern Conference," said Elon men's basketball coach Matt Matheny, a former Davidson football and basketball player. "This is a day of change. This is about the university and it's a very complex decision. I'm excited because I have great faith in our leadership."
In the meantime, Elon and Davidson won't break ties right away.
"We do have one more year of competition with them," Matheny said.
So while a glimpse into the future was the theme Thursday, there's other more immediate business taking place for coaches and players on the Elon campus.
"Our focus is on the Southern Conference right now," men's soccer coach Darren Powell said, with championship hardware from that league sitting behind him in his office. "As a coach, that's how we're thinking. Once we're through with that, then we'll look at this."
So the other soon-to-come comparisons can wait.

African-Americans and Alzheimer'salz.org | IHaveAlz
African-Americans are at a higher risk for Alzheimer's disease.
Many Americans dismiss the warning signs of Alzheimer's, believing that these symptoms are a normal part of aging. This is of even greater concern for African-Americans, who are two times more likely to develop late-onset Alzheimer's disease than whites and less likely to have a diagnosis of their condition, resulting in less time for treatment and planning. By working together, we hope to reduce the risk factors and reverse the growing trend of Alzheimer's disease among African-Americans.

After a wait that lasted nearly seven hours Saturday, with the NFL Draft's window of time closing, Aaron Mellette was picked by the Baltimore Ravens in the seventh and final round.
The Elon University receiver was the 238th overall selection in the draft. The Super Bowl champion Ravens took him 17 spots before the end.
Baltimore general manager Ozzie Newsome phoned Mellette with the news.
"I was so happy," he said. "My dreams as a college athlete came true when they called my name."
Mellette became Elon's second NFL draftee in the last 21 years, joining Chad Nkang, also a seventh-round choice.
Nkang went five picks prior to the end of the 2007 draft. So, technically, Mellette's selection marked Elon's highest-drafted player since 1984, when Jimmy Smith was a fourth-round selection.
Mellette, who didn't play organized football until his sophomore year of high school, who contemplated leaving Elon's team as a true freshman in 2008, due to a dizzying transition to college schemes and terminology, spent Saturday in his hometown of Sanford, surrounded by family members, friends and former Phoenix teammates.
"We had been sitting here all day waiting to hear my name," he said. "I was starting to talk to teams about free agency."
The 6-foot-3, 217-pound Mellette, who hauled in 42 touchdown passes during his final three seasons at Elon, had been projected to land anywhere from the fourth to the sixth round. He was the last of four Southern Conference products drafted Saturday.
Appalachian State had punter Sam Martin go to the Detroit Lions in the fifth round and cornerback Demetrius McCray — who Mellette torched last season in Boone with 13 catches, 247 yards and three touchdowns — went to the Jacksonville Jaguars in the seventh round, 28 picks before Mellette.
Ravens director of college scouting Joe Hortiz mentioned Mellette's productive performances against Vanderbilt in 2011 (11 catches, 180 yards, one touchdown) and Appalachian State (a combined 27 catches, 483 yards, four touchdowns the last two seasons) while speaking to reporters in Baltimore.
"Big competition doesn't bother him," Hortiz said, calling Mellette a "subtle route runner" and "very smooth."
Baltimore has three installments of organized team activities May 21-23, May 29-31 and June 4-7. The Ravens will hold a mandatory minicamp June 11-13.
The draft became and exercise in endurance and patience for Mellette, who led the Football Championship Subdivision in catches (113) and receiving yards (1,639) in 2011 and ranked second nationally with 97 catches and 1,398 yards last season.
Saturday's draft proceedings began at noon with the start of the fourth round. Some six hours and 50 minutes later, after players had been selected from such obscure places as Tarleton State, East Central Oklahoma, Chadron State, Harding and Missouri Western, the Ravens chose Mellette.
"I get to open a new chapter of my life now," Mellette said, "the final chapter in my football career."

Falcons Score 100 Points Off the Bench in 120-106 Win at Queens
January 16, 2010
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Pfeiffer University scored 100 points off the bench en route to a 120-106 victory over Queens University of Charlotte in Conference Carolinas mens basketball action on Saturday night. The Falcons put six scorers in double-figures shooting 66% from the field. Pfeiffer chalks another one up in the win column improving to 7-5 overall, 3-3 in conference play. The Royals fall to 5-8, 2-4.
Jeff Pettiway stole the show shooting 13-13 from the field including five-for-five in 3-point field goals. His only miss on the night came on the backend of a pair from the charity stripe with 8:54 remaining in the first half. Pettiway finished with 26 points pacing the Falcons.
The first half included 17 lead changes with the Falcons leading at the break 57-55. With both teams hitting more than 52% of their shots, the difference in the game through twenty minutes was Pfeiffers ability to score off the bench leading the Royals 44-25.
In the second half, Queens stayed within five points until a Pfeiffer 8-0 run with 12 minutes remaining gave the Falcons a 10-point cushion they would build on for the remainder of the game. Pfeiffer out rebounded the Royals 32-31 while each team gave up 15 turnovers. The Royals played a physical game committing 26 fouls, allowing the Falcons to convert 28 of their 38 free throw attempts.
Chris Woods finished the night with 23 points, followed by James Crowders 21. Davon Gilliard (18), Reggie Hollinger (13) and Derrick Truesdale (10) each rounded out with double-digit points. For Queens, Daniel Bailey turned in a game-high 32 points followed by Reggie Hopkins 25. Hopkins also crossed the 1,000-point plateau with his 24th point on the night.
Pfeiffer will take Sunday off before heading to St. Andrews on Monday night to wrap up the three-game, week long road trip. The Falcons and Knights will tip-off at 7:30 p.m.

Problem with belle update, Nokia E7, 059C4H2, grey, finland.
Suite informs that there is an update available, but if i choose it, theres right away error report 20000. If i move the date of my computer forward, lets say 29.2.2012, the update process moves forward until step 3. There it starts to "preparing for update" after which it informs that USB is connected. When you click continue with updating, it goes back to preparing for update and then back to USB is connected.
After a while back and forth, it gets stuck to "preparing for update". I left it for a night, and in the morning it was still like that, until i unplugged.
I have tried many times, i also did a back up and reset.
Local Nokia repair didnt know yet what to do, so i decided to inform you.

Hi all,
for availability questions please always check our availability page (http://europe.nokia.com/nokia-belle-update-availab
As some people have been asking about "why are there codes that are not on the page yet?", just some quick explanation: We are constantly creating more software variants and there are some product codes for which we just started & therefore haven't been added to the availability page yet. As mentioned, we nevertheless monitor your comments and crosscheck that we don't miss a code by accident. :-)
And one more thing: If you are on one of the following productcodes, you have a so called swap variant. Please check with your local Nokia Carepoint to get the update to Nokia Belle, as it won't be available via Nokia Suite.

CHARLOTTE – It's unlikely either Belmont Abbey College All-American Tyshawn Good or former East Lincoln High two-sport star Keith Rendleman will be drafted by a NBA team in next Thursday's draft.
But that doesn't mean Good and Rendleman weren't delighted to show off their skills for their "hometown" Charlotte Bobcats on Wednesday in the team's first official pre-draft workouts – and the first workout for new head coach Steve Clifford.
In fact, they weren't even the only "hometown" workout candidates, as Davidson's Jake Cohen, Johnson C. Smith's Trevin Parks, Wake Forest's C.J. Harris and N.C. State's Scott Wood were among a 12-player group highlighted by Indiana sophomore Cody Zeller. Also working out were Kansas State's Jordan Henriquez, Middle Tennessee State's Marcos Knight, Akron's Zeke Marshall, Washington State's Brock Motum and Elizabeth City State's Angelo Sharpless.
"They were very good," Clifford said. "I thought all the guys did a good job. You know, as far the draft part of it for the coaches, this is the only look you get. Obviously, (general manager) Rich (Cho) and (vice president) Rod (Higgins) and the scouting department are more involved. I just like getting a chance to see the guys live."
In Good, Clifford got to see the leading scorer in all of college basketball for 2012-13 when he helped the Abbey to its third conference title and earned his second straight All-Conference Carolinas selection.
A native of Jamaica, N.Y., Good says he has long been a Bobcats fan and fellow New Yorker (and point guard) Kemba Walker in particular.
"I used to watch Kemba play at Rice High School," said Good, who averaged 27.0 points per game last season and became the Abbey's fifth all-time 2,000-point career scorer. "I followed him in college. He's like a role model to me. I would love to play with him and learn from him as a player."
Good became the third Belmont Abbey player in three years to work out for the Bobcats, joining Richard Barbee (2011) and Kyle Phillips (2012).
While this was Good's first workout – and first official performance since playing in March's National Association of Basketball Coaches NCAA Division II All-Star game – he's hopeful of a future in professional basketball.
"My future plans involved working hard," Good said. "My agent believes that door is going to open soon. I'm just going to keep working on my craft and improving my game, my ballhandling and my decision-making. I need to adjust to that 3-point line and provide scoring since I'm a proven scorer. But I want to go in wherever I go with a defensive mindset."
In Rendleman, Clifford got to see a player so talented when he left East Lincoln in 2009 that major college football and basketball coaches recruited him before he chose UNC-Wilmington for basketball.
A two-time All-Colonial Athletic Association honoree at UNC-W, Rendleman ended his career first in career rebounds (1,055) and fourth in scoring (1,516) in Seahawks' history and one of only eight players in CAA history with 1,000 or more points and rebounds.
"It was great," Rendleman said of his Bobcats' workout. "My family would like to see my play in front the hometown. They all want me to make it here."
Rendleman has already worked out for the Atlanta Hawks and Brooklyn Nets as well as participating in a large workout in front of 20 teams. He said he's already received some interest for a summer league invitation from the Hawks and the Indiana Pacers.
"I worked out with a couple of teams," Rendleman said. "They got a good look at me. Even if I don't get drafted, I want to play for a summer league."
A power forward at UNC-Wilmington, Rendleman says he's spent his workouts trying to show an expanded game to scouts.
"I played the 4 all through college and I want to show how athletic I am and that I have a wing game as well," Rendleman said. "And I want to show how much better I've gotten since the end of the season."
An All-Gazette football and basketball player at East Lincoln – and the 2009 Gazette boys basketball player of the year – Rendleman helped the Mustangs advance to the Western Regionals in basketball in 2008 and 2009 and to the Western finals in 2008 and the N.C. 2AA finals in 2009 in football.
NOTES: New Bobcats assistant coach Patrick Ewing met with the media for the first time since his hiring – and after two summers in which he's been linked to the franchise; He was a finalist for the head coaching job last summer. "I was surprised that I didn't get (more) interviews," Ewing said. "But it is what it is. I'm happy to be here now."…
Ewing will be joined on Clifford's coaching staff by Stephen Silas and perhaps two other assistants. Silas has now been retained twice by the Bobcats' coaching staff since he first worked for the team under former head coach (and his father) Paul Silas….
The Bobcats interviewed injured Maryland center Alex Len on Tuesday and plan to interview injured UNLV forward Anthony Bennett on Saturday….
The team picks fourth in next Thursday's draft and NBADraft.net considers Bennett the most likely selection in its mock draft. The website has Len at No. 1, Kansas guard Ben McLemore at No. 2 and Kentucky center Nerlens Noel at No. 3.

When you think of word Platinum, you think of the best, and that is what SHOEI has done with the RJ-Platinum R. Shoei has taken a 3/4 open-face helmet and made it the best on the market. >From its contemporary styling, to its improved adjustable fit. This helmet has elevated what you would expect from an open-face helmet, by incorporating wind tunnel proven technology for an improved quiet ride, and better ventilation with the unsurpassed safety features that SHOEI rolls into all of its helmets.
Not your parent's old lid, the RJ Platinum-R establishes a higher standard for what an open-face helmet should be. Contemporary styling along with an improved and adjustable fit,
a fully removable and washable interior, enhanced ventilation performance, and a remarkably quiet riding experience endow the RJ Platinum-R with an elevated level of excellence.
Combined with SHOEI's heritage of fine craftsmanship and benchmark safety technology, you're left with the world's premier open-face helmet—the RJ Platinum-R.
Since it's introduction in 1985, the RJ series set the standard by which all open face helmets are measured.
Shoei's latest offering in the RJ line, the RJ Platinum-R, continues to build upon the RJ family history, combining incredible comfort with the very latest in safety and performance technology.
These features combined with a new, modern design create the new standard for open face helmets.
Wrap a tape measure horizontally around your forehead. Select the helmet that is the closest fit to that size.
A helmet should fit snug on your head. If it moves while wearing, it is too large. If it is painful to wear, it is too small.
Comment: I have always worn Shoei helmets, the fit and finish is great and the upgrades made over the years are very nice. Jafrum handled my order in a timely manner, will order from them again.
Independence, Va.
Comment: Disclaimer - I am not qualified to comment on the safety aspects of helmets. If you're really serious about safety, you probably don't want an open face helmet anyway. I'll leave safety to DOT and SNELL, each of which have certified this helmet.
This helmet replaces a similar Shoei helmet I have had for 20 years. It has the same high quality and comfort but has some welcome improvements in the areas of ventilation, cheek pads, and shin strap. My hat size is 7 3/4, and the X-Large helmet is very snug, as it should be.
My experience on multiple purchases from Jafrum has been positive - the merchandise has been exactly as ordered and has been shipped immediately.

"The practice of prayerful healing is scriptural," said Pam Bright, a healing minister at the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer in Shelby. "It's something the Episcopal Church has observed, and it is in our prayerbook."
At Redeemer, the healing litany is held on the first Sunday of the month. P arishioners come to the front before the Eucharist to request healing prayer. T he Very Rev. Dr. Valori Mulvey Sherer, rector, meets them at the altar along with other healers from pastoral care.
Healing classes
At two other churches in Shelby, healing services are held in combination with classes on healing.
Bishop Louis McDowell at Christ Temple, 341 Hudson St., Shelby, teaches a healing class and has a service on Tuesdays from 6-7 p.m.
"We teach them and we pray for them," he said. "It's not magic or anything like that. We go through all of the scriptures and teach them about stress and fear and all the things that can keep their faith from working."
Christ The King, 1311 S. Lafayette St., Shelby, started its healing ministry 10 years ago, said lay minister Charles Helms.
"We have people from all over the county and even Charlotte who come," Helms said. "We do teachings on Thursday evenings and pray for people."
The healing classes and prayer services are held from 6:30-7:15 p.m. on Thursdays.

char query[1000],*end; end = strmov(query,"INSERT INTO test_table values("); end = strmov(end,"0x"); end += mysql_hex_string(end,"What is this",12); end = strmov(end,",0x"); end += mysql_hex_string(end,"binary data: \0\r\n",16); *end++ = ')'; if (mysql_real_query(&mysql,query,(unsigned int) (end - query))) { fprintf(stderr, "Failed to insert row, Error: %s\n", mysql_error(&mysql)); }
strmov() function used in the example is
included in the
libmysqlclient library and
works like
strcpy() but returns a pointer to
the terminating null of the first parameter.
The length of the value placed into
to, not
including the terminating null character.

Inside your description:
The return value is the length of the encoded string, not including the terminating null character.<--This says the return value of the function is the "length of the encoded string"
Inside the next paragraph:
The return value can be placed into an SQL statement using either 0xvalue or X'value' format.<--Is this return value the same one as which mention in the preceding paragraph? I am being confused. If it is the same, that means my SQL statment will be something like "insert blahblahblah value (0xlengthbeingreturn). Is this what you mean? Or what you really saying is 0xToString?
