Great game from Lee Smith who took Brent Webb's place at full-back. Might've just played himself into the England world cup team. McGuire outplayed Pryce too, which could mean an interesting decision for Smith to make regarding our stand-off (that's 5/8 to our antipodean cousins) for Australia.

I'm thinking of playing rugby league this year. As you can tell with my posts, I'm an angry, aggressive young man with heaps of pent up frustration!! So, it will be a good outlet. On the downside, are injuries (I'm only 55kg and may get smashed a few times). I was wondering if anyone else plays, and how much a properly fitted mouthguard costs?
Could make a good halfback in union with the traits mentioned above and the protection of the forwards in defence...

Justin Bieber decided to change his name to Bizzle[1] on Instagram, but the name is already taken.
Justin Bieber evidently didn't do his homework when he decided to change his name. After changing his name to Bizzle, one London-based Rapper that goes by Lethal Bizzle, posted a photo of the name change to Facebook (FB[4]) with the caption "Leeeeeave It Yeah." Lethal Bizzle's fans must have felt the same way, because the post got over 13,600 likes, reports Metro.
Other entertainers that have donned the name Bzzzle include a Miami rapper that was shot in 2012 and a Christian rapper from Houston, reports the Huffington Post[5].
Bieber's name change didn't last long. The pop star has already changed his name back to Bieber on Instagram, Huffington Post notes.
However, Bieber is still currently going by Bizzle on his Shots of Me[6] account.

Here's today's effort in the faces challenge. Re-imagined my pirate pic without the hat. Mostly because I didn't want to draw it. (lazy artist!)
I think the idea to gently curve the imaginary eye-line helped. They visually "feel" right to me anyway. (or at least closer)
The nose and chin however… well one's a tad long making the other a tad short. Closer to and farther from. Hmmm… would make a great title, no?
Overall, I think I am pleased.

Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif starrer 'Bang Bang' has been making the right noise ever since its first teaser promo was released. A gruelling adrenaline pumping action film with a love story enveloping it, 'Bang Bang' released its second song- a romantic number titled 'Meherbaan' and we can't help loathe over it.
Here are three major reasons why the sensuous number is absolutely unmissable.
The smouldering chemistry between Hrithik and Katrina:
Iconically, the two look the best when paired with each other and given the fact that both the actors are always praised for their looks, they have elevated the oomph level of the song to an all time high. Sensuous and breathtakingly beautiful, they compliment each other like chalk and cheese! Each frame looks spectacular and the chemistry between them is crackling. We hope we get the longer version of their 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara' kiss here.
The pristine picturesque locales:
The song is melodious but the background just transcends us to a level of trance altogether! Shot in beautiful pristine locations, which simply helps in amplifying the amount of love and coy romance that the song is all about, 'Meherbaan' is a winner. From the opening shot portraying the pretty alleys of Greece to the second frame where you see Hrithik and Katrina cuddling during sunset with the sun glowing right in between them, the song has been shot very aesthetically and it brings out the flavour of the song oh-so-perfectly! We love.
A bare bodied Hrithik and Katrina in a bikini:
If temperatures had soared high in the first two minutes of the song, expect it to go notches higher in the last half-minute. From Hrithik showing off his perfectly sculpted Greek-God body to Katrina raising barometric levels to an all time high in her pink and yellow bikini, the entire song is hotness personified. Too much of hotness in one frame!

Five passengers have been injured during evacuation after a Scandinavian Airlines Bombardier Q400 suffered a main landing-gear collapse on touchdown at Aalborg in northern Denmark yesterday.
The aircraft had been operating domestic flight SK1209 from the capital Copenhagen when the accident occurred at 16:10.
SAS Group, of which Scandinavian Airlines is the main carrier, says there were 69 passengers and four crew members on board the turboprop.
Almost immediately after the aircraft touched down, its starboard main landing-gear buckled and caused the aircraft's wing to drop. Its fuselage and starboard propeller struck the ground and the aircraft suffered damage before swerving sharply off the right side of the runway and coming to rest.
If you are having trouble viewing the embedded video then try this link ...
SAS Group says that five of those on board were "lightly injured" during evacuation.
While the company has yet to identify the aircraft involved, there are unconfirmed indications that the Q400 is a seven-year old example registered LN-RDK. This aircraft, according to Flight's ACAS database, is owned by Eagle Leasing Company.

No price increases seen as gov't cracks down on meat smuggling
popular .
MANILA, Philippines—The prices of pork and poultry will not go up in spite of a new Department of Agriculture order that seeks to curb the smuggling of meat by fly-by-night operators, two associations of local meat producers said on Saturday.
Daniel Javellana, chair of the National Federation of Hog Farmers Inc., and Edwin Chen, president of the Pork Producers Federation of the Philippines Inc. or Pro-Pork, defended the department's Administrative Order No. 9, which raised the minimum capital requirement for meat importers, among other new policies to stop meat smuggling.
In a news release, Javellana assuaged fears raised by the Philippine Association of Meat Processors Inc. (PAMPI) that the new order would jack up meat prices and implement trade barriers, arguing that AO No. 9 would "actually strengthen the industry by cleaning up the list of importers."
"AO No. 9 provides for a minimum capital requirement of P5 million for meat importers. This aims to legitimize the system because there were undercapitalized fly-by-night meat importers in the past who were allowed to operate prior to this new order," Javellana said.
"This new order actually aims to end the loopholes in the process that allows smuggling," he said, recalling how some unscrupulous meat importers used to falsely declare their shipments of prime cut meat as offal, which carried a lower tariff of only five percent.
Chen also questioned PAMPI's belated reaction to the March 18 order when the industry group was actually part of the consultations held last year that led to its issuance.
"AO No. 9 is the product of a year of consultations. The DA and the National Meat Inspection Service (NMIS) held a meeting on June 7, 2012 among meat traders, importers and processors and PAMPI was present during that meeting. Maybe they forgot that they were present?" Chen said.
"P5 million is equivalent to the [value] of one 40-foot container van [of meat products]. If you do not have the capital to import at least one container van, then you have no basis to be in this business," he said.
"Do we want fly-by-night importers to continue with their operations? This policy in fact protects meat processors in particular and the meat industry in general," he said.
Chen also noted that, based on NMIS data, cold storages remain in full capacity despite the new order, debunking PAMPI's claim that this would create an artificial demand that would spike prices as there would be fewer importers able to comply with the requirements of AO No. 9.
"The volume of imported meat in cold storages, based on NMIS data, is at 8.8 million kilos. Add that (to) local meat production and that gives you 10 million kilos. So how can they claim that AO No. 9 is restrictive when our cold storages are in full capacity?" he said.
AO No. 9 requires new meat importers to submit their audited financial statements to the NMIS to qualify for accreditation, and imposes a minimum paid-up capital requirement of P5 million for new meat importers.

"This is a relatively modest amount to maintain this structure as we move forward," said Johnson.
The other four items recommended for 2010, in descending priority:
$300,000 for the purchase of a sewer cleaning vacuum truck. The current truck is outdated.
$200,000 toward repairs and upgrades to city buildings and facilities. This item is always included in the capital program and would cover various projects.
$400,000 to replace antiquated water mains. This cost would come out of the city's water budget.
$175,000 to purchase a new sewer jet truck for cleaning sewer lines. The current truck was made in 1991.
Some of the bigger and more controversial projects that have long been under consideration were placed in a separate section stipulating that they will only be pursued upon the receipt of grant funds.
Included among those items were a new public safety building (estimated at $11.7 million), an eastside fire station (estimated at $4.4 million) and the beginning phase development of waterfront property on Saratoga Lake (estimated at $442,180).
Several improvements to recreational facilities " including an $85,000 replacement of bleachers at the eastside rec facility that were closed due to safety issues " will be contingent upon receipt of funds from the school district, which owns the facilities and reimburses the city for their upkeep.
The capital program budget plots program spending for the next six years, though in practice anything past the coming year is often altered. The committee put several big-ticket items on the docket for 2011, including $2 million for a water tower, $450,000 for an expansion of the compost facility and $700,000 for an emergency generator at the water treatment plant. The suggested amount to be bonded in 2011 was $5.8 million.
The city is limited in its charter to bonding $65 million at any one time. Over $38.7 million of that limit remains.

Intel Ivy Bridge-E Debuts: Core i7-4960X Review
Haswell has been out in the wild for 3 months now, while Sandy Bridge-E has remained Intel's "ultimate" desktop platform for almost 2 years. However Intel is now ready for a refresh of its Extreme platform, but they won't be skipping the Ivy Bridge architecture and moving straight to Haswell.
Enter the Core i7-4960X which still features 6 cores, 12 threads, 15MB L3 cache, quad-channel DDR3 memory and is supported by the same aging X79 chipset. This doesn't sound very exciting, so what's new?
LCDSysInfo for GOverlay: A $32 LCD gadget for PC enthusiasts and tinkerers
As a PC builder and gamer I find it fun and incredibly interesting to monitor many things in my set-up, from the temperature of my CPU and its fan speed, to the frames per second and GPU load in games, just to see how capable my PC really is.
Traditionally I'd use a bunch of programs to monitor all these stats, including SpeedFan and Fraps, gathering info through pop-ups or windows on a second monitor. Then I was sent an LCDSysInfo – a small 2.8-inch LCD gadget that can be configured to show various stats – and monitoring my PC became significantly easier.

How To Use a Xbox/PS Controller on Your PC
While the keyboard and mouse remain the best means of controlling many titles, especially PC staples like FPS and strategy, there are plenty of other options that are really crying out for a pad.

Palit GTX 780 Super JetStream: Titan-like performance for less
We've only previously seen water-cooled GTX 780 cards pushed this far. However, Palit's GTX 780 Super JetStream is no ordinary graphics card as its massive heatsink and three large fans keep its core cool when under stress -- a solution that allows the card to outpace the Titan, according to the manufacturer.
In our review we put those claims to the test, in addition to testing triple monitor resolutions in GTX 780 Super JetStream SLI cards, standard GTX 780 cards and on the almighty Titan.
Razer Blade 14-inch Gaming Laptop Hands On
At a mere .66 inches thick and powerful enough to capably handle some of the most demanding games on the market, Razer's new 14-inch Blade might be the coolest piece of equipment I've ever played a PC game on. It's certainly the hottest.
Once known for its mid-to-high-end gaming peripherals, Razer has gotten to a point where I can no longer refer to them as an accessory manufacturer. Between the original 17-inch Razer Blade, the Edge PC gaming tablet, and now this ridiculously thin beauty, the company has definitely made an impression on the PC gaming market.
Company of Heroes 2 Review: More of the Same, Only Better
Company of Heroes was a game for true armchair generals. There was no resource collecting, no tank rushes, none of the hallmarks of other games that look like they're about a clash of armies but are really little but mouse-driven sprint races.
Seven years is a long time between wars, though, and now that we have a sequel, people are expecting a lot from this game, the first time Company of Heroes has ditched Western Europe for the Eastern Front. So what's new?

PC Gaming Hall of Shame: Games That Weren't Cancelled, But Should Have Been
Although some decent games do poorly for no good reason, many titles are so headscratchingly bad that you have to wonder why the developer even bothered.
In the group of terribly bad games, there are the truly bad ones and then there are the big flops: those that have built an irredeemable amount of hype. Without further ado, here's our PC gaming hall of shame: games that weren't cancelled but should have been.

We recently decided to have an extended email conversation addressing the Islamic State (ISIS) in Faisal's home country of Iraq, being called an "Uncle Tom" by white people, the existence -- or non-existence -- of a "moderate" Islam, and the one key factor needed to bring about a true Islamic reformation.
In Islam, so much of our spirituality is tied to what we consume and right now a lot of Muslims, and people in general, are not consuming things that are good for them. There is an inherent beauty in an animal giving its to provide sustenance to you and I. To me, it only makes sense that such an act would necessitate remembering God at every step of the process.
In a discussion with a few other men, the idea came up that women are "supposed" to be the ones that take care of the home and that's why they don't really do too much. Because Islam tells them not to. Our ability to do should not be stifled by a weak argument of whether we are obligated to do or not.

Tuesday's Sports In Brief
SALVADOR, Brazil (AP) — They captured the hearts of America — from coast to coast, big towns and small, all the way to the White House. Capturing the World Cup will have to wait.
Just like four years ago, the United States is going home after the round of 16, beaten when Belgium scored twice in extra time and then held on for a 2-1 win.
Playing the finest game of his career, U.S. goalkeeper Howard stopped a dozen shots to keep the Americans even through regulation and force an additional 30 minutes. He wound up with 16 saves — the most in the World Cup since FIFA started keeping track in 2002.
The Belgians built a two-goal lead when Kevin De Bruyne scored in the 93rd minute and Romelu Lukaku in the 105th. But then Julian Green, at 19 the third-youngest player in the tournament, stuck out his right foot to volley in Michael Bradley's pass over the defense in the 107th.
SAO PAULO (AP) — Argentina's theme at this World Cup seems to be scrappy wins with Lionel Messi pulling through at the last minute to save the day.
This time he didn't score on his own, but set the stage for Angel Di Maria to score an extra-time winner against Switzerland.
In the 118th minute, Rodrigo Palacio won the ball in midfield and fed Messi, who dribbled down the middle in trademark fashion, escaping a challenge from Swiss defender Fabian Schaer before poking the ball to Di Maria. Unmarked, the Real Madrid player beat goalie Diego Benaglio with his 10th goal in Argentina's colors.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Cleveland Indians executed an unorthodox triple play in the fourth inning against the Dodgers that required two video replay reviews to sort out.
With runners on first and third, Adrian Gonzalez lifted a fly ball to left fielder Michael Brantley, who threw out Dee Gordon at the plate. Catcher Yan Gomes then fired to second baseman Jason Kipnis for the tag on Yasiel Puig as he slid headfirst.
Cleveland manager Terry Francona challenged the original safe call at second and got the play overturned after a replay delay that lasted 1 minute, 29 seconds. Dodgers skipper Don Mattingly then challenged the call at the plate, but that call stood after another wait of 1 minute, 34 seconds.
Cleveland went on to a 10-3 win.
LONDON (AP) — Rafael Nadal ran out of comebacks at Wimbledon, losing to a brash, big-serving, between-the-legs-hitting 19-year-old kid who might just be a future star.
Maria Sharapova, somehow, seemed on the verge of a turnaround despite a flurry of unforced errors, saving six match points before finally succumbing on the seventh with — what else? — a missed shot.
And in the most striking sight of a memorable day of departures by past Wimbledon champions, Serena Williams couldn't get the ball over the net in a doubles match with her sister Venus, stopping after three games because of what was called a viral illness.

Apps and Spirituality a Mixed Blessing [USA Today]
(USA Today Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Smartphone apps that deliver everything from sacred Christmas and Easter music to reminders to attend worship to scriptures for meditation can be potent tools for spiritual growth, but such technology also has the potential to diminish worship and fellowship with other believers, according to Douglas Henry, associate professor of philosophy at Baylor University, Waco, Texas.
Story continues below ↓
Henry has the BibieReader app on his phone and uses it to read the King James and English Standard versions of the Bible, as well as the Latin Vulgate. He also has the Universalis app, with prayers and meditations for various times of the day and special religious seasons such as Advent, and he acknowledges that iRads, netbooks, and smartphones can be put to good spiritual use.
"Especially when traveling, I use my iPad to search, read, and study scripture. It gives me pictures of nature and works of art that inspire my contemplative gratitude to God," but living in a world of perpetual mobile connectivity can be spiritually distracting; - and even deforming-for those who succumb to its inducements. Whatever technologys wizardry does for us, it cannot fundamentally alter our hearts desire to love God and to love others in God." There is the temptation to love technology too much, Henry indicates. "We can be the quickest on the draw to find the latest gossip or news- but there is also an impatience we're cultivating, a desire to get instant answers and solutions. Christians are called to be pilgrims, a people who walk patiently in faith toward an end ttiat God prepares for us," From a Christian standpoint, too, "the Bible is a gift from God to be shared, but what if if s a Bible app on your phone? What if someone sitting next to you says, T forgot my Bible. Can I borrow yours?' We think of a cell phone as something we keep away from others. There's too much information there - bank accounts, purchasing accounts, e-mail accounts. We easily become possessive about something intended for sharing." A smartphone or other technological device used during worship also can be a distraction. "If you turn on your smartphone, your neighbor may wonder whether you're using it to read scripture of whether you're playing solitaire." When Henry goes to church, he takes his printed Bible, leaving the cell behind. "It's not because I'm oid-feshioned and want to turn the pages- although I do have an affection for books, but smartphones can be a corrK municaHon device for trading in frivolous gossip or delivering the most tragic news of destitution and desolation. Something doesn't seem quite right about bringing it in the space of Christian worship.
"On my printed Bible, however, I know that it is always and only the Bible" (c) 2012 Society for Advancement of Education

Couture cakes
How about designing a whole cake using butter cream? It's elegant, intricate, and it tastes good, too.
London-based bakers, Valeri Valeriano and Christina Ong, founders of Queen of Hearts Couture Cakes, are reviving the art of butter-cream cake designing.
Valeri and Christina commenced their partnership in 2011. They began sending letters to school and community fairs—until a school invited them to take part in its fair, for which they baked 200 cupcakes!
Thereafter, they were invited to bigger events—which required them to get better equipment. Then, they were invited to join the Experimental Food Society, a UK-based organization of culinary creatives.
Last year, they participated in the Cake International Show, where they won the bronze medal in the Wedding Cake category. They have since been invited to culinary exhibitions, and conduct classes. They will conduct workshops on Feb. 4-7. Visit queenofheartscouturecakes. com, or call 542-3289.

Paul Davies
Unless the world stops eating meat by 2040, it has been estimated that food supplies will run out. Ed Vulliamy gave up being a carnivore aged eight and is still glad that he did
Tim Radford: The enduring appeal of this book is that is addresses the Big Question – not how, when or what, but why?
Alok Jha delves through the Science Weekly archive to find some of our most memorable interviews
Is there anybody out there or are we really alone in the universe?
We speak to the Indiana Jones of conservation, Lawrence Anthony; physicist Paul Davies tells us why aliens could be among us; and we groove to a rap on climate change
Cosmologists are agreed that the universe began with a big bang. Direct evidence comes from the fact that the universe is still expanding today
Letters: Paul Davies' account of the laws of the universe (Comment, June 26) explains why those laws adopted some particular values, but still fails to explain why the particular values required for biological life were chanced upon.
The science behind the news Yes, the universe looks like a fix. But that doesn't mean that a god fixed itPaul DaviesPaul Davies We will never explain the cosmos by taking on faith either divinity or physical laws. True meaning is to be found within nature.
Quantum leap of lifePaul Davies
Paul Davies: Darwin famously didn't tell us how life began, but modern computers can help to provide clues.
Living with aliensPaul Davies
Paul Davies: Why go to Mars - the answer to one of the biggest questions in the universe might be right under our noses?
Einstein, the first spin doctorPaul Davies
Paul Davies:An experiment to test the theory of relativity could rock the science world.
Paul Davies's article about the "multiverse" (Reality in the melting pot, September 23) was fun to read, but hardly useful science or philosophy.
Reality in the melting potPaul Davies
Paul Davies: According to 'multiverse' theorists, life as we know it could be nothing but a Matrix-style simulation.
Paul Davies says that scientific discovery does not make the cosmos seem increasingly pointless
Is anyone out there?Paul Davies
Paul Davies: The search for extraterrestrial life grips the human imagination because it tells us about ourselves.
How we could create lifePaul Davies
Paul Davies: The key to existence will be found not in primordial sludge, but in the nanotechnology of the living cell.
It's true, men really are from MarsPaul Davies
Paul Davies: And so are women, thanks to an invasion by Red Planet microbes
Computer theory, not chemistry, may solve the puzzle of life, writes Paul Davies
Make a traversible wormhole and time travel could be a reality. Paul Davies reports
Physicists today claim that they reached 300 times the speed of light. But don't write off Einstein, and don't hold your breath for a time-travelling Star Trek universe, warns Paul Davies
At about the time that life began on Earth, the planet was being mercilessly pounded by giant asteroids and comets. But instead of wiping out the primitive life forms, could these meteorites have carried microscopic hitch-hikers from Mars where life had already begun?
The Fifth Miracle, by Paul Davies (Penguin, £5.99)
Everyone is familiar with the "primordial soup" idea - Darwin's "warm little pond" in which our ancestral cells first glanced at each other with a gleam in their eye. Scientists, though, disagree on how life first arose on Earth: one theory has microbes hitching a ride on a comet, while another claims that "superbugs" living in geothermal cauldrons far below the Earth's surface are the source of today's fertility. Paul Davies is a fascinating writer who believes that biogensis is linked to the organisation of information; we are, after all, only hyper-complex organic computers. It worked on Earth - but is the formation of life so improbable that we are alone in the universe?

Important Notice: We purchased and installed this classified ads software because we thought it would be a genuine enhancement to the GT classified ads system. I still believe it is a far better
alternative for a classified ads
section than the forum software, but people just don't seem to agree. I had hoped that people would take to the system and see its benefits after having used it for a while, but that hasn't happened.So, I am going to admit defeat and move the classified ads
section back onto the old message board forums. Posting permissions have been turned off in this software and the old classified ads forums have been reactivated. We will leave this software up through 27 June, 2014, so that people can refer to the old ads. Please
place all new ads in the classified ads forums. They can be found on GT's forums index, below the Armory section. Here is a direct link to that area: The Want Ads
Forums.In the coming weeks, we will be adding some features to the classified ads forums that will make them better suited for that purpose, while keeping the features and functionality of that system that people have shown they want.Please
keep in mind that all forum rules apply to the classified ads threads. Additionally, do not post in someone's ad to haggle or arrange a deal. Please contact them directly to negotiate. Also, if you think you know where someone can get the advertised item cheaper, or
you think the person is charging too much, or you don't like the product or seller, etc..., please keep it to yourself. Posting such things in someone else's classified ad thread is not allowed. If you see anyone violating the posting rules, or know of or suspect
that there is a problem with a post or thread, please report the thread or post. Thanks and enjoy the new/old system.

Snow, road conditions give grief to Brooklyn residents
The snow has stopped falling, but Brooklyn residents are still digging out from the storm.
Although plows were still out in full force this afternoon, many drivers found themselves snowed into their parking places.
Some couldn't get their cars out even after using cardboard and digging out their front wheels.
All the snow didn't close public schools, though. Parents had mixed views...

Europe hails the new first lady's style, grace - and bangs to boot
It was another British invasion in utter and complete reverse: the aristocracy of European public opinion again losing its collective mind and fawning over an American rags-to-riches story.

It was another British invasion in utter and complete reverse: the aristocracy of European public opinion again losing its collective mind and fawning over an American rags-to-riches story.
But there were no rags in sight, naturally, as is the case whenever a first lady has her European coming-out party.
Michelle Obama, wife to that most unlikely and most popular of U.S. presidents, is zipping around the continent with her husband almost a half-century after Jackie Kennedy gave the Old World capitals a jolt of White House pizzazz. And that, of course, means media scrutiny (mostly gushing) of Obama's sense of style (verdict: excellent).
The sharp pens of the continental press have dripped nothing but praise for the first lady's fashion choices: her mint-green skirt, her cardigan, her clean and simple style.
There was also the obligatory analysis: Was her choice of a J. Crew outfit a nod to a new American modesty and sense of thrift? Was it a deliberate but subtle support to American workers as her husband leads world leaders in battling a global recession? Nobody really knows.
Last year, former fashion model and sultry singer Carla Bruni-Sarkozy – wife of the French president – had a similarly ogled introduction to London.
(For those who don't remember: she was fantastic but husband Nicolas Sarkozy was criticized for wearing heels higher than hers.)
The Guardian wrote about Obama as she was preparing to leave Washington for Jolly Old: "She hadn't even set foot on the plane yet and Mrs. O has all but obliterated last year's Carlamania from the fashion history books with an outfit that draws a direct bloodline between her look and the wardrobe with which Jackie Kennedy wowed Europe in 1961."
When the Obamas left London for France, the rumours of a showdown – a fashion faceoff with Bruni-Sarkozy had tongues buzzing – until both women displayed goodwill and grace.
The French press weighed in with more praise, with the Paris newspaper L'Express running an article titled "Les dix commandements du style de Michelle Obama."
Thou shalt look chic, apparently.
Germany was the scene of the loudest buzz – Obama's new hairdo: in particular, her bangs, which sweep across her forehead in a manner not entirely dissimilar to those once worn by Lady Diana – or, to once again summon Camelot – Jackie Kennedy.
Here locks were big news in Europe, but back home ... not so much.
"She looks amazing," Yvonne Davila of D & T Communications in Chicago, one of the first lady's close friends, told The Chicago Sun-Times.
"But I've seen bangs on her before."

In a 12-hour period on April 3, state senators introduced a bill to change oversight of the Queens Library system; Borough President Melinda Katz reiterated her call for library CEO Tom Galante to be placed on temporary leave; the Library Board of Trustees issued a list of changes it intends to vote on to improve oversight; a board measure to place Galante on paid leave was defeated when the vote ended in a 9-9 tie; and the board reissued the list of changes intended to improve oversight.
Now what?
For the moment, at least, Galante is staying on in a position that pays him more than $390,000 per year.
Some of the library's expenditures in recent years, along with revelations about Galante's employment as a six-figure per year consultant with the Elmont, LI, school district have led not only to those actions but to federal and city investigations, as well as an audit by the office of City Comptroller Scott Stringer.
"I'm not going to comment," Galante said last Thursday, moments after the paid leave measure failed and the meeting was adjourned.
But Katz did.
"I am deeply disappointed," Katz said in a statement issued by her office last Friday. "As I have said repeatedly, the Queens Library is one of the great institutions in this city and is one of the best libraries in the country. As such, it deserves uncompromised leadership and the best set of corporate governance practices. ... Unfortunately, the Board of Trustees missed an opportunity to restore faith in the institution by its vote last night."
Even Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer (D-Sunnyside), a former Queens Library employee, is calling on Galante to temporarily step aside.
The series of technically separate meetings at the Central Library in Jamaica began with a library official attempting to tell a Chronicle reporter to not take photographs of the proceedings until challenged under the state's open public meetings statutes.
The special meeting dealing with Galante's status was postponed until board member Terri Mangino arrived from Florida; but by the time the vote came around about three hours later, Jacqueline Arrington had to leave, thus removing a tiebreaking vote from the mix.
The evening also included back-to-back executive sessions — the first one lasting about two hours — separated by less than one minute.
Among the changes offered by the board both before and after the meetings are the creation of an audit committee; a review of executive contracts and new conflict of interest policies.
They don't yet include other measures proposed several weeks ago by Public Advocate Letitia James.
James or her designated representative serves as a nonvoting ex officio member of the Queens Library board. So too do representatives of the mayor, speaker of the City Council, the comptroller and Katz.
One of James' proposals is to give ex officio members a vote.
"As they do in Brooklyn and Manhattan," said Ibrahim Khan, James' representative at the meeting.
The proposal to allow ex officio members to vote was on the agenda for a third meeting, which was postponed just after the 9-9 tie and just prior to the board adjourning until next month.
"This wouldn't have ended in a tie if the taxpayers' representatives were allowed to vote," Ibrahim said in the corridor outside the boardroom. "They just kicked the can down the road again."
Another of James' proposals is that a library CEO's compensation be no more than that of the mayor.
While the Queens Library and others in the city operate as nonprofits, they receive an overwhelming majority of their funding from the taxpayers.
Multiple news agencies have reported that the FBI and the city's Department of Investigation are investigating related matters.
Comptroller Scott Stringer said last month that his office is auditing the books of the Brooklyn and Manhattan library systems as well as Queens.
At the state level, state Sen. Mike Gianaris (D-Astoria) and Assemblyman Jeff Aubrey (D-Corona) have introduced companion bills [see story this page] that the senator said will "rein in the excess of the Queens Library and provide a long-term blueprint for efficiency, transparency and accountability."

I'm laying the points with UCLA.
I respect the Huskies and I successfully played on them when they defeated the Bruins a few weeks ago. However, that was at Washington. With tonight's game being played at Pauley Pavilion, I expect the revenge-minded and highly motivated Bruins to have the advantage. Yes, the Bruins have lost two in a row. However, those games were both on the road and they haven't lost three games in a row since January 2005. In their last game here, the Bruins destroyed Notre Dame, winning by a score of 89-63. Looking at their conference home games and we find that the Bruins beat USC by 16, beat Stanford by 34, beat Cal by 15 and beat Arizona by 23. They're 47-3 their last 50 games here and 21-1 their last 22 against the Huskies here. While the Huskies are 0-5 SU/ATS the last five times that they were road underdogs in the 6.5 to nine range, the Bruins are a perfect 4-0 SU/ATS the last four times that they were home favorites in the -6.5 to -9 range. I expect them to improve on those numbers as they bounce back and continue their homecourt dominance in this series. *Personal Favorite
I'm taking the points with CHARLOTTE.
The Musketeers won big (69-47) when these teams met a few weeks ago. However, that was at Xavier while today's game will be played at Charlotte. That's significant, as Xavier has lost back to back road games while Charlotte has won four of its last five home games, including back to back convincing double-digit victories here, one of them against Dayton. When these clubs faced each other on January 28, the 49ers were banged up and struggling. They've since gotten starting forward An'Juan Wilderness back and are playing with a much higher level of confidence. The play of point guard DiJuan Harris, who has been getting the entire team involved, has really sparked the team of late. Indeed, Harris has a whopping 56 assists in his past five games. While they admittedly haven't had much success against Xavier, the 49'ers have fared very well in the "revenge" role the past few seasons. During that stretch, they've gone a profitable 9-5-1 ATS when attempting to avenge an earlier loss, including a 2-0 ATS mark if that loss was by greater than 20 points. While I respect the Musketeers, I also know that they can be beaten and I won't be shocked to see it happen here. I successfully played against the Musketeers in their loss at Duquesne. The very next night I successfully played on Charlotte over Dayton, so I also know the 49'ers are capable of defeating a quality team. The 49'ers played the Musketeers very tough here last season, losing by two points as 5-point underdogs. Look for them to give their guests all they can handle once again, earning at least another cover. *TV GOM
I'm playing on Boston and Utah to finish UNDER the total.
These teams played on Boston back in mid-December. That game was a bit of a tough beat for those who bet the 'under' just before gametime. That's because the number was bet down and closed at 190.5. The teams played three low-scoring quarters before a 57-point fourth quarter caused the final combined score to finish at 191, half a point above the closing number. The Jazz have been playing some high-scoring games lately. While those results have helped keep today's number generously high, it should be noted that those games were coming against high-scoring and/or defensively-challenged teams like the Kings, Lakers, Warriors and Grizzlies. It should also be noted that the Jazz got Andrei Kirilenko back last game, which is noteworthy as Kirilenko is an excellent defender and his return makes the Jazz stronger on that side of the ball. Counting the 12/15 result as an 'over,' the Celtics have seen 18 of 28 home games finish above the total. However, it's been a different story when the champs have played on the road. In fact, the UNDER is a profitable 19-8 (70%) in their 27 road games. Those games averaged 187.4 points, much lower than the Celtics' totals at home. With tonight's number at or above the 200 mark, that gives us plenty of room to work with. Look for the final combined score to prove much lower that most are expecting. *Annihilator
Re: THURSDAY PREMIUM SERVICE PLAYS
4 Unit Play.Take Appalachian State -4 over NC-Greensboro.(POD)
We are 2-1 on the week in college ball as we look to the Southern Conference to help us go 3-1 for the week and get in a sound position to win for our 6th week out of the last 7 in college hoops. The last time these two teams met, it was an exciting game in which NC-Greensboro actually ended up winning on the road as 13.5 Underdogs. It was a huge upset as App. State was taken to the limit as the game went into overtime as the Mountaineers suffered a shocking 83-85 loss. I'm not the one to play favorites many a times, and I'm not the one to play a road favorite at that. But, this game calls for it. I will gladly take a team that was once favored by -13.5, who ended up losing outright on their home floor, who now has revenge and is favored by just 4 points. I believe home court is a bit irrelevant here as App. State will be fired up for this game and will come out of the gates strong and simply believe they are 4 points better than NC-Greensboro given the talent that they have. NC-Greensboro shot 51.7% the last time these two teams met, and I don't see that occurring again. Note that NC-G is a team outside the top 300 and App St. has had success against such teams. For example, when App. State faced Elon they defeated them 77-63 on the road, they defeated Georgia Southern 95-82 on the road who is around a top 300 team as well and defeated Wofford and Furman by 5 who are teams outside the top 300 and top 250 respectively. In short, I think App. State has revenge in their minds, they will have a decent sized crowd there to support them as this is a rivalry game in many ways, this team has balanced scoring as 9 players scored in the last game between these two teams and four were in double figures and I will take the 7 conference win team as compared to the 3 conference win team as App. State has showed more consistency overall this year. The NC-Greensboro Spartans are 0-7-1 ATS in their last 8 home games while the favorite is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings between these two squads.
4 Unit Play.Take Over 200.5 between the Boston Celtics @ Utah Jazz.(POD)
Glad we were able to cash with the Twolves yesterday. Let's cash once again with the over tonight in the limited NBA Card on the NBA docket. You know, I've seen 200 as a total in various books, but I will place the total here at 200.5 so hopefully folks can get a better line. It actually seems like the total is going down a bit and it could be for various reasons. For starters, Boozer is still out till' late February but Okur is now listed as probable. I believe the Jazz will be very game tonight and have a great shot at winning this game outright. This is a dangerous game for the Celtics b/c if they thought they had a tough time with the Lakers and Spurs at home, they will certainly have their hands full against the Utah Jazz who took care of the Lakers - banged up in Utah. Let it be known that the Utah Jazz can beat anyone, absolutely anyone in Utah. Now, this Utah team on the road is a different story as they have lost to the Thunder, Bucks and Warriors. But, at home in Utah, they can defeat anyone. But, why go against the Celtics on Thursday Night Basketball? This team somehow managed to beat New Orleans and Dallas as small chalk on the road - but note, that New Orleans was not at full strength and Dallas did not have Jason Terry in that game. Look for Utah to do very well in this contest - even win. But, more importantly, I will take them to be an active dog and cash the over as I expect Utah to take Boston to the limit here. Utah has revenge - the last time these two teams hooked up the C's won by 9 as the total went to 191. I expect Utah to put up more than a 100 today and at some point, the Celtics to catch up and make a run consequently pushing this total over the posted total. The over is 5-1 between these two teams in Utah and the Over is 4-0 for the Jazz when they face teams with a winning % of greater than 60% at home - meaning once again, active dogs and over the posted total.

Animal Shelters Make 'Black Friday' Literal, Adopt Out Black Pets For Free

That's why we wholeheartedly support a Black Friday promotion we can get behind that involves no doorbusters, no big-ticket item lines, and can even help you get rid of your leftover turkey this holiday weekend. We're referring to the Black Friday weekend adoption promotions aimed at finding homes for black cats and dogs. [More]

TSA Lets Sickly Taiwan-Bound Cat Loose In JFK Airport

Their flight took off a week ago, but there was no cat on it. During a TSA check, she escaped from her carrier. Now she's been on her own at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport for seven days. [More]
Study Says All Your Snuffling & Sneezing Could Give Mr. Whiskers McKittyton The Flu

Man Allegedly Commits Insurance Fraud With Fake Dead Cat
Back in March 2009, a customer of PEMCO insurance was in a minor car accident, and the company paid out $3,452 for damages to the other driver's car. Simple enough. No injuries were reported, and no pets in the car. Which is why it caught some PEMCO employees' attention when the other driver filed a claim two and a half years later, seeking $20,000 for the death of his cat, Tom. The animal was "like a son" to him, he claimed. But "Tom" only existed as photos of someone else's cats, readily available on the Internet. The state of Washington has charged the man with felony insurance fraud. [More]
How My Stupid Cat Has Cost Me $5,500 Over Three Years
Pets provide us with much-needed companionship, cuddles, and photos to illustrate Consumerist posts with. But they're not cheap to have around. Food, toys, litter, collars, leashes, routine vet care…those are all of the things you consider and budget for when you start cruising Petfinder to look for a new buddy. Only there are larger expenses that are large, sudden, and impossible to plan for. After one illness, having a pet could cost as much as a decent used car. That's what happened to Carolyn Kylstra, whose cat Hooligan (great name) has cost her $5,550 over three years. That's an average of $150/month…money that could go far in an otherwise frugal lifestyle. [More]

Do Not Body-Pierce Kittens And Sell Them As 'Goth'
Cats are born equipped with defiant attitudes, night vision, and claws, so it doesn't take anything more to make them "goth." At least I always thought so. A Pennsylvania woman with kittens to sell had different ideas. She gave the animals ear and neck piercings, docked their tails, and then pierced their tail nubs. Why? She thought it would look "neat." Then she listed them on eBay for $100, until PETA and the local ASPCA noticed and came calling. She was convicted of animal cruelty, and the Superior Court of Pennsylvania recently affirmed her sentence and conviction on the grounds that no one could possibly be stupid enough to think that this was a good idea. I paraphrase. [More]

In a recent interview with Polish on-line boxing magazine Bokser.org, current IBF cruiserweight champion, Tomasz 'Goral' Adamek, confirmed that his next opponent is to be Johnathon Banks. This decision thwart the efforts of former cruiserweight king, Steve 'USS' Cunningham, whom he defeated by a close split decision to gain the title on December 11th 2008, and his team to secure the quick rematch they have been campaigning for..
Cunningham took a little time off from training to give his views on Adamek vs Banks. "To me that fight could go either way. You Know, Johnathon Banks can crack. He had that big fight against Eliseo Castillo and he got hit and took a big shot but came back and finished that guy. That's a good bangers fight. Adamek's got a pretty good European style with power, so there'll be some fireworks in that fight. I want the winner of that fight!
You know, I'd like the winner. I still believe I am the best cruiserweight in the world. I know the audience and the fans see that in my last fight. I don't consider that a loss. I feel like I won. I lost the decision, but feel that I won the fight. Two time in '09 is my plan. We'll be back, I can't wait to see what will unfold in the future."
Originally Johnathon Banks was due to fight Enzo Maccarinelli for the WBO cruiserweight title in March, clearly that is now not happening and with most of the other top names in the weight having fights already arranged over the coming months could this be an opportunity for 'USS' Cunningham to set sail across the Atlantic again?
Cunningham obviously feels it is as he said. "My first choice would be to fight Tomasz (Adamek) again. But it's clear he is avoiding me as he is already planning another fight in June, and talking about other fighters - Not me. He's running scared!
If the WBO would take it. Shoot, I would jump in there and fight Enzo (Maccarinelli). I'm always up for going to Europe, I'm used to fighting there.
It would be a very exciting fight. A real battle and great TV. The British fans are great fans, really enthusiastic, you know, just like the Polish. It would be an awesome atmosphere."
Maccarinelli-Cunningham is a mouth watering prospect that could quite easily surpass the classic Cunningham-Adamek IBF title fight for action and drama as well as having genuine "Fight of the Year" potential. What's more the possibility of the match being made appear quite good since Maccarinelli's promoter, Frank Warren's Sports Network, are already working with Don King Productions, Cunningham's promoter, on this event as Amir Khan is to face another DKP charge, multi-weight champion Marco Antonio Barrera.
But what if this fight couldn't be made for whatever reason. Who would 'USS' Cunningham be focusing on as possible opponents?
Cunningham, grinned and shrugged his shoulders before replying "I don't really have any preference on who I fight. I'm taking on all comers. I'm calling out all comers. Shoot, I want to be champion again and it doesn't matter which one. In Jesus' name, man, let 'em all come on.
I'll take them all it doesn't matter. I'll take on any top contender and any fight that can get me to Tomasz's throne. Even a non-title fight just to get me back in there again and on target for my main goal.
My IBF title back!"

Hernandez, born in Los Mochis, Mexico , now fighting out of East Los Angeles, will face Mexican veteran, Manuel Diablito Sarabia in a scheduled six round bout at BATTLE OF THE RISING STARS, promoted by Ed Holmes All Star Boxing.
POLLO is coming off a fifth round stoppage of Noe Inzunza on July 11th at the Quiet Cannon which moved his undefeated record to 7-0-0 (2KOs).
Said manager Frank Espinoza, Jesus took a little time off after the Inzunza fight but were looking to stay much more active this year, hopefully fighting five or six times.
Sarabia (16-27-9, 10KOs) is a much more experienced fighter who has gone the distance recently in battles with Yhonny Perez, Carlos Ivan Velasquez and Mikey Garcia. Jesus fully understands this will be a very tough test for him, but I think hes prepared well.
The Quiet Cannon is located at 901 N. Via San Clemente in Montebello .. Advance tickets can be obtained by calling 323-816-6200 or 323-781-4871.
The ESPINOZA BOXING CLUB was started in 1991 by Los Angeles area businessman Frank Espinoza.
