Tams on a rampage, trip Tigers for 6th win
Eagles score No. 2 over Maroons
TERRENCE Romeo and RR Garcia struck hard again as Far Eastern University blasted University of Santo Tomas, 77-67, yesterday at Mall of Asia Arena to move within a win of a first-round sweep in the UAAP men's basketball tournament.
Romeo and Garcia teamed up for 36 points to power an in-form FEU side that came out sizzling anew with 11 three-pointers just four days after firing 15 triples against National University.
The Tamaraws had everything going for them in the second half where Mac Belo and Mike Tolomia also shone as FEU opened double-digit leads in the last six minutes of the match that drew a crowd of 15,000.
"I've been consistent in saying that going 6-0 is the same as being 1-0 because it doesn't guarantee anything; those are just numbers," said FEU coach Nash Racela after his Tamaraws—now at least three games ahead of the rest of the pack —stretched their unbeaten run to six.
Earlier, Kiefer Ravena played his best game yet as Ateneo downed University of the Philippines, 72-64, for its second victory in six games.
Sidelined by a sprained ankle early in the season, Ravena unloaded 10 of his 15 points in a strong second half where the Blue Eagles pulled away by as many as 19 points, 57-38.
"I think Kiefer is already 50 percent," Ateneo coach Bo Perasol said of his star guard. "So you still have to watch out for the other 50 percent."
Romeo pumped in 19 points while Garcia fired 17, 12 coming in the second period. He also dished out six assists.
The Tigers, who missed the services of Jeric Teng for the second straight game due to a shoulder injury, dropped to a share of second at 3-2.
Karim Abdul kept the Tigers within striking distance for the most part of the game to finish with a game-high 21 points and 11 rebounds, but clearly looked exhausted in the final stretch.
Ravena scored nine in the third period while taking over from Ryan Buenafe, who help carry the Eagles to a 38-30 halftime edge.
The scores:
First Game
ATENEO 72—Ravena 15, Newsome 13, Buenafe 13, Tiongson 9, Golla 6, Pessumal 4, Erram 4, Elorde 4, Tolentino 2, Capacio 2, Murphy 0, Lim 0, Asistio 0.
UP 64—Marata 22, Ligad 10, Ball 10, Soyud 8, Lao 7, Desiderio 3, Wong 2, Asilum 2, Suarez 0, Pascual 0, Gingerich 0, Gallarza 0, Amar 0.
Quarters: 19-17, 38-30, 57-40, 72-64
Second Game
FEU 77—Romeo 19, Garcia 17, Belo 14, Tolomia 12, Mendoza 6, Pogoy 5, Hargrove 2, Jose 1, Cruz 1, Sentcheu 0.
UST 67—Abdul 21, Ferrer 18, Bautista 15, Mariano 10, Lo 2, Daquioag 2, So 0, Pe 0, Lao 0.
Quarters: 18-21, 39-37, 62-56, 77-67

For nine years now, the Connecticut chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness has sponsored a walk to fight the stigma that many still attach to mental illness.
By coming out en masse, we showed the world that we and our family members are indistinguishable from the rest of the human race. Also, we have walked to raise funds to support those who are living with a mental illness.
This is year 10, and, sadly, in the wake of the tragedy of Sandy Hook Elementary School, the stigma we've been fighting all these years has a new hold on the nation. Indeed, much of my work consists of helping people who have a mental illness, and I am already encountering cases in which persons have been turned down for jobs because of their mental health history.
Never has it been more important for those of us living with a mental illness to confront the stigma head-on.
Truth be told, persons with a mental illness commit only about 4 percent of the violent crimes. Indeed, they are more likely to be the victims of violent crime than the rest of the population.
And yet, the National Rifle Association would have us focus our energies not on the guns that enable men to wreak mayhem but on those with a mental illness.
In the words of NRA head Wayne LaPierre, "We have no national database of these lunatics."
Most murders and mass murders are committed by angry men with a grudge to settle. So a "national database" of persons who have ever had a history of mental illness would do virtually nothing to reduce the number of horrific crimes committed with semi-automatic weapons.
Not only that, but creating such a database would in effect be giving the law's imprimatur to the stigma. We would be institutionalizing discrimination against those of us who ever sought medical care for a mental illness, and in so doing, we would be discouraging people from seeking the help they need.
The simple fact is this: Mental illness is not a predictor of violent behavior. A history of violent behavior may be a predictor, but, as we've seen in the case of Adam Lanza, there was no such public history, only his private predilection for the virtual violence of video games.
So now, more than ever, is the time for us to walk the NAMI walk.
Join us on Saturday, May 18, in Hartford's Bushnell Park. Your participation will go a long way to helping NAMI/Connecticut provide the free support groups and educational programs we deliver to more than 8,000 people each year.

Ben and Jen Catch Obama Fever
Ben and Jen put on their best power suits to host an event for Barack Obama in Boston over the weekend. With John Kerry and Red Sox GM Theo Epstein in attendance, clearly the Garner-Afflecks know the Boston big shots. At the event Ben talked about "doing his part" to help Obama, but was happy that it didn't go to Kimmel video lengths. He said, "I think I'm just grateful [Obama] didn't ask me to do a sexy YouTube video with him." He would, however, like you to make an Obama video. Jennifer also got up on stage to gush a little about Boston (holla!) saying that she would move to her husband's hometown "in a heartbeat." Awww, I can totally see Violet being a little Beantown baby.

sandler999, have you seen the current state of the country...I think our current President and his administration has done a fairly good job of destroying America. What is unfortunate is that whoever takes office in January (and I'm hoping and wishing for Barack Obama) is going to have to clean up the mess of our present jerk!!! PS: Ben Affleck is uneducated because he's not backing your choice...:rotfl: I think the UNEDUCATED have had their fun at the polls (and in office) for the past 8 years...now it's time for the truly educated to take the reigns!!!

Jude C-I don't think it reflects on Obama himself either. But I think the fact that Obama cosistantly avoids media outlets that are not necessarily his forte is indicating of his insincerity. He should be willing to present/defend his stance wherever and whenever given the oppurtunity. Also, his associations with people who are radically anti-american doesn't win me over either.

The theory of White privilege in America may be seen as having its roots in the system of legalized discrimination that existed for much of American history. In her book Privilege Revealed: How Invisible Preference Undermines America Stephanie M. Wildman writes that many Americans who advocate a merit-based, race-free worldview do not acknowledge the systems of privilege which benefit them. For example, many Americans rely on a social and sometimes even financial inheritance from previous generations. This inheritance, unlikely to be forthcoming if one's ancestors were slaves, privileges whiteness, maleness, and heterosexuality.[13] In addition to legal rights, whites were sometimes afforded opportunities and benefits that were unavailable to others. For example, government subsidized white homeownership in the middle of the 20th century through the Federal Housing Administration, but not homeownership of other minorities. Some social scientists suggest that the historical processes of suburbanization and decentralization are instances of white privilege that have contributed to contemporary patterns of environmental racism. Historians and authors, including Noel Ignatiev and Karen Brodkin, discuss the historical trajectory from exclusion to acceptance of Irish and Jewish émigrés in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in terms of white privilege. Many see a continuing, although not legalized or acknowledged, system of advantage to white people in areas such as housing, salaries, access to employment (especially to positions of power), access to education, even life expectancy. Self-image Beverly Daniel Tatum points out that most white people do not think to describe themselves as "white" when listing descriptive terms about themselves, whereas people of color usually use racial or ethnic identity descriptors. Tatum suggests this is because the elements of one's identity that are congruent with the dominant culture are so normalized and reflected back at one that one is apt to take such traits for granted. This is not the case for identity aspects of those who are defined as "other" by the dominant culture, whether it be on the basis of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or other microcultural aspects.The true reasons behind this occurrence are unknown, but may also be due to many different unspoken psychological effects on minorities and majorities alike, whether it be pride, shame, or an environmental stimulation such as a rally.

The Invention of the White Race: by Theodore W. Allen After Whiteness: Unmaking an American Majority by Mike Hill Whiteness Studies: The New History of Race in America Not a "racist" book, a scholarly book. Just in case. White privilege is a sociological concept describing advantages enjoyed by white persons beyond what is commonly experienced by the non-white people in those same social spaces (nation, community, workplace, etc.). It differs from racism or prejudice by the fact that a person benefiting from white privilege need not hold racist beliefs themselves.

Whiteness Studies Development of the field Whiteness emerged as a focus of inquiry within the academy, primarily in the United States and the UK, as early as 1983. The "canon wars" of the late 1980s and 1990s, a political controversy over the centrality of white authors and perspectives, led scholars to ask "how the imaginative construction of 'whiteness' had shaped American literature and American history White privilege Writers such as Peggy McIntosh have sought to enumerate the social, political and cultural advantages accorded to whites in American society. She argues that these advantages seem invisible to most whites, but obvious to others. For instance, "I think whites are carefully taught not to recognize white privilege, as males are taught not to recognize male privilege. So I have begun in an untouched way to ask what it is like to have white privilege. I have come to see white privilege as an invisible package of unearned assets which I can count on cashing in each day, but about which I was "meant" to remain oblivious" McIntosh calls for Americans to acknowledge white privilege so that we can more effectively attain equality in American society. She argues, "To redesign social systems we need first to acknowledge their colossal unseen dimensions. The silences and denials surrounding privilege are the key political tool here. They keep the thinking about equality or equity incomplete, protecting unearned advantage and conferred dominance by making these taboo subjects" (192).

"Obama seems to be all hype and no substance. I don't think celebs should openly endorse a candidate and try to influence younger voters to vote in their favor." I'm not much of a fan of celeb political endorsements myself--even when they're for my team--but I don't think that that reflects on Obama. A little bit of research will show quite a lot of substance and accomplishments. The charges of inexperience and style-over-substance were mostly created by the opposition.

There is a huge difference between opening up communication with our enemies and negotiating with terrorists. Ignoring our enemies won't make them go away (anyone remember Pearl Harbor? or 9/11?) If peace is ever going to be reached, there has to be open discourse.
Jillness 7 years
The thing about Obama, if you have really been paying attention, is that the guy's most consistent characteristic is being able to get along with people he doesn't agree with 100%. To imply that because his pastor said something, that it automatically means that Obama feels the same way is not realistic.
dsbnh369 7 years
"Information about Obama's background involving his father, his education and Islam was available online long before he was ever a candidate. So implying that Clinton's campaign is responsible is just as smearing as if they actually had. Let's drop it and talk about something that actually matters." Work on your reading comprehension. While there is no doubt that information about his background was available online before his presidential run, the information that was spread during the campaign (Muslim rumors, Salute the Flag rumors, etc.) was wrong and the Clinton camp was partly to blame. This has been well documented so don't try to brush things as aside as irrelevant...

lol Pink, what do you disagree with McCain? poor guy everyone is sick of republicans so nobody wants to listern to him. He has some pretty ideas tho. People are basing these elections on petty things like race, gender or just how much they like a candidate and not really looking at what they stand for. People really need stop focusing on the small things and take some time to follow whats going on

"I don't get it. the man is going to disarm our country and "negotiate" with terrorists. We're all going to be incinerated and you don't seem to get it." What are you talking about?????? He isnt' going to "disarm" our country. He has been saying since 2002 that we need to focus on Afghanistan and Pakistan where Al Queda is re-grouping. In fact, with in the past month there have been reports that Al Queda is back to 9/11 strength! He thinks we should use force WISELY, something that Clinton, McCAin, and the Bush administration don't understand. I suggest that you actually research his policy ideas before you start making such uninformed statements like the last one. Conversations based in reality are much more productive.

Well thank you Pink, I got platinum over the weekend. Oh, and I am glad we see eye to eye on something. Jude C, I am sorry. I must have misread the comments I am sorry. I thought you were pinning that situation on Hillary. I am glad to hear that you'll vote for the Democratic nominee no matter who they are. I realize thats what the Republicans have been saying. They think if the Democrats can't get their candidate in office we'll all vote for McCain. Well thats not gonna happen with me. So I hope other Democrats realize the same thing.
lula29 7 years
I'm an Independent and I personally believe in Obama's message. I'd be hard pressed to vote for Hillary because her politics do not fall in line with my own and her record really disappoints me. I can't in good conscious vote for someone I don't agree with. McCain can forget about it as far as my vote.
Jude-C 7 years
Love Angelina, I wasn't the one who brought up the Muslim rumors. Someone else did, and I was responding to that. This is what I said: "spread by Hillary Clinton campaign staff, who no longer even work for her." They were staff members; they were fired for the incident. I never said otherwise, nor did I say that Hillary had anything to do with it. They were on her campaign staff when they chose to spread that slanderous rumor. That's all. And by the way, should Hillary win the nomination, by the way, even though I strongly dislike her and don't support her now, I will still vote for her over McCain. :)

Tim Cestnick is president of WaterStreet Family Offices, and author of several tax and personal finance books. email@example.com
Over the past 15 years, I have paid hundreds of dollars to have my home phone number unlisted.
It has never made sense to me that I should have to pay every month to keep my phone number private. I can only imagine the monthly charge if I took it a step further and cancelled my phone altogether. I don't think we'll ever be able to move if it means getting rid of the phone. I'd go broke.
Some things just don't make financial sense. When it comes to registered retirement savings plans (RRSPs), Canadians are notorious for hurting themselves by doing things that don't make sense. Last week, I shared three RRSP mistakes to avoid. Today, I'd like to share four more.
Mistake No. 4
Grace might just claim her RRSP deduction in the wrong year. You see, when you make an RRSP contribution you're entitled to a tax deduction for the amount contributed within your contribution limit, but you don't have to claim the deduction in that year. You can claim it in any future year if you'd like.
Grace expects her income to be higher next year such that she'll be in a higher tax bracket, so she'll save more tax by deferring her deduction until next year. It could make sense to postpone the deduction for even a couple of years if she expects her income to be that much higher in the future.
Mistake No. 5
Walter is hoping to transfer highly taxed interest-bearing investments to his RRSP and withdraw equities of equal value. This would shelter the interest income from tax and would transfer equities, expected to earn capital gains (which are taxed at lower rates than interest), outside his RRSP.
In the past, if assets of equal value were swapped, it would not be considered a contribution to, or a withdrawal from, the RRSP. Things have changed. The 2011 federal budget eliminated the opportunity to swap assets with an RRSP without tax. Today, Walter shouldn't make the mistake of undertaking a swap and incur a hefty tax bill.
Mistake No. 6
If you're going through a separation or divorce, don't forget to consider your RRSP and RRSP contribution room.
Jake and Jane have been married for 10 years and are now divorcing. They each worked and accumulated $100,000 of RRSP contribution room over that time. Jane made $100,000 of contributions over those years. Jake, on the other hand, didn't make any contributions since he was paying down their mortgage.
They plan to split 50/50 the $100,000 of assets in Jane's RRSP, along with the value of their home, which they will sell.
But there's something else of value here: Jake's $100,000 of RRSP contribution room. Once they split up, Jane will have an RRSP worth $50,000 and half the home value, as will Jake, but he'll have the ability to contribute another $100,000 to his RRSP and she won't. Now, Jake can't simply give Jane half of his contribution room.
The solution? If possible, they could come up with the cash to make a $50,000 contribution to Jake's RRSP (using up half of his contribution room). These assets could then be transferred to Jane's RRSP when they split the assets. Jake would get the tax deduction, but Jane's RRSP would be increased when dividing the assets.
Finally, if you separate or divorce, your RRSP beneficiaries are not revoked. If you don't want your ex to inherit your RRSP (or RRIF or TFSA) assets, you should revise your beneficiaries.
Mistake No. 7
Max has $10,000 of debt he'd like to pay off. His loan is at 5 per cent, and there are five years left on the loan. If he pays off his debt, he'll effectively earn a 5 per cent after-tax return on what would have been the outstanding loan balance over the five-year period. He's considering making a withdrawal from his RRSP to pay off the debt.
Truthfully, this doesn't make sense in most cases, particularly if it's short-term debt. Max will pay more in tax on his withdrawal than he'll save in interest costs. He will also have wasted valuable RRSP contribution room since he won't get that room back again when he makes the withdrawal. He'd have to use up new contribution room to replace those RRSP dollars. TFSA assets could be withdrawn and used to pay down the debt more effectively.
Finally, I made a mistake of my own. Last week I suggested that the RRSP contribution deadline for 2013 is March 1, 2014. The correct date is March 3, 2014 (since March 1 falls on a weekend this year).

05 November 2013 02:13 [Source: ICIS news]
SINGAPORE (ICIS)--China's Sinopec Shanghai Gaoqiao on 4 November restarted its 200,000 tonne/year phenol/acetone plant at Caojing after completing a scheduled maintenance, a source close to the company said on Tuesday.
The producer expects to achieve on-spec output at the plant around 8 November, the source said.
The plant, which can produce 120,000 tonnes/year of phenol and 80,000 tonnes/year of acetone, was taken off line 17 August to undergo an overhaul.
The producer undertook minor debottlenecking during the maintenance. However, it was not immediately clear whether the expanded capacity can be fully utilised, the source said.
In addition to the Caojing plant, Sinopec Shanghai Gaoqiao operates two phenol/acetone units at Pudong in Shanghai, with respective phenol/acetone capacities of 60,000 tonnes/year and 100,000 tonnes/year.
The two phenol/acetone units at the Pudong site are operating normally, the source said.

The HXP100 has excellent rigidity, load capacity and positioning performance in a compact size.
The HXP100-MECA 6-Axis Hexapod offers a 20 kg centered load capacity and is controlled by the dedicated HXP100-ELEC hexapod controller/driver which is sold. This controller accurately masters the synchronized transformations from Cartesian input coordinates to the motion of the Hexapod legs. In addition, the HXP100-ELEC includes instrument grade I/O's, hardware based input triggers, event triggers, high-speed on-the-fly data acquisition, fast TCP/IP communication, and integrated TCL programming language for on-board processes. All these features improve accuracy and throughput, making the programmers life much easier. A common requirement for many Hexapod motion applications is a virtual pivot point for all rotations. The HXP-ELEC controller provides this as a standard feature and at Newport, we have taken this a step further. Not only can the Newport Hexapod relocate the pivot point, but through our advanced technology, the entire coordinate system can be relocated. In addition, two user-definable coordinate systems are provided, called Tool (moves with the Hexapod's top plate) and Work (stationary coordinate system). Incremental displacements are possible in either one of these Cartesian coordinate systems, and positions can be easily calculated from one system to the other by a function call. These powerful functions provide a completely new way of mastering Hexapod motions without the need for complex external coordinate transformations. Available in a vacuum version.
An HXP100-MECA must be ordered with an HXP100-ELEC controller.
A Hexapod is a parallel kinematic motion device that provides six degrees of freedom: X, Y, Z, pitch, roll, and yaw. Hexapods are ingenious and effective solutions to complex motion applications that require high load capacity and accuracy in up to six independent axes. Hexapods, in general, are high priced and complex devices that are difficult to implement. Newport Hexapods, on the contrary, are not only affordable but extremely easy to use and re-configure. Newport Hexapods are driven by six, industry-proven, high performance actuators using designs that leverage Newport's expertise in actuators. The quality of the actuators has obviously a strong impact on the overall motion performance of a Hexapod, but of almost equal importance are the joints connecting the actuators to the base and the moving top plate. Embracing this challenge, our engineers came up with a unique design of joints that are not only simple, but also provide significantly higher rigidity than ordinary universal joints. The result is a Newport Hexapod that provides more than five-times higher rigidity and twice the load capacity of other hexapods of similar size.Newport hexapods have other advantages in addition to stiffness. Two main advantages are two programmable pivot points (Tool and Work coordinate systems) and RightPathTM Trajectory Control. The locations of the Tool and Work Coordinate Systems can be changed via command, and all the transformations are automatically re-calculated without having to power down the controller. RightPathTM Trajectory Control enables scanning in a path along a defined trajectory, line, arc or rotation, with minimal runout and at a constant and definable speed.Hexapods having the image of being complex and highly priced, Newport Hexapods, on the contrary, are not only affordable but extremely easy to use and easily re-configurable.

Major League Baseball wants to speed up games, and came up with some mildly controversial rules designed to serve that end. It's a decent start, but we're here to finish the job.
The last of Robert O'Connell's postseason sketches concerns one of the last and most inevitable outs of the baseball season.
Most baseball fans, even serious ones, haven't seen much of the San Francisco Giants or Kansas City Royals. Which means that, for most baseball fans, the most reasonable option is to pick the team with the World Series team with the best uniform and cheer for them. We can help.
In the latest of Robert O'Connell's sketches from baseball's last weeks, we find a weird and suddenly, tenuosly great team getting a great start from a strange place. It's October, you know.
The latest installment in Robert O'Connell's October sketchbook concerns John Lackey, October's favorite a-hole.
Throughout the postseason, Robert O'Connell will contribute brief sketches of brief moments from the last few games of 2014. Some of these moments will be important, many of them will not be, but only one (probably) will involve a man nicknamed Country Breakfast attempting to steal second base.
Every irritating thing you've heard about Clint Hurdle, Pittsburgh's bunt-happy and resolutely ancient-school manager, is true. Here's how one Pirates fan figured out how to deal with it.
The new Classical is here! The new Classical is here!
Super-prospect Gregory Polanco is finally on his way to Pittsburgh. How and why this well-deserved call took so long to come has a lot to do with MLB's broken Super Two system, but also something to do with the micro-scale workaday weirdness of the Pirates.
In which our heroes more or less give up on the baseball aspect of things and focus more on Yo Gotti, junket-jumping, and violence against Tampa Bay Rays.

Great list. I especially appreciate that Wilding (the owner of the longest clay run of victories and winner of the most clay tournaments) is placed appropriately high up.
I wonder where Karel Koželuh should be? He was the seven time winner of the Bristol Cup &/or World Pro. Championship. This was placed on clay in France. It was the most prestigous Pro tournament of the 1920's. He also won 2 US Pro Championships on clay (1932/1937) and a French Pro (1930). That is 10 Major clay tournaments.
Also regarding Nusslein - shouldn't he be higher? He won the world Professional Championship on clay in 1933 and also won the US Pro when it was played on clay in 1934. Plus twice winner of French Pro in 1937/1938. That is 4 major pro titles on clay. He did lose to Von Cramm in the early/mid 1930's in a match however apparently he was ill when that match occurred. In practice matches later in the 1930's apparently he had Von Cramm's number.

Says multi-national companies are out to make profits
NEW DELHI: Navdanya, a non-governmental organisation (NGO), has sought government intervention to stop biopiracy of climate-resilient crops by global gene giants who are reported to have applied for patents on farmers' innovation of seeds that are resistant to drought, floods and salinity. By attempting to patent farmers' innovations, the multi-national gene companies are not only out to make profits but also want to position themselves as saviours of the world against climate change said Vandana Shiva, the founder of Navdanya.
Dr. Shiva released her report on Saturday entitled 'Biopiracy of Climate Resilient Crops; Gene Giants Steal Farmers' Innovation of Drought Resistant, Flood Resistant, and Salt Resistant Varieties.' The report lists both the climate-resilient crops that "Navdanya communities" had been saving in the country and the patents on such crops sought by the gene giants.
"This is a form of biopiracy since the traits that the corporations are patenting have been evolved through centuries of farmers' breeding. On the basis of this biopiracy, the biotech industry is positioning itself as the "climate saviour," making governments and the public believe that without them there will be no seeds of climate resilience. By making broad claims on all crops and all traits, the industry is in fact closing future options for adaptation in climate change," she told journalists.
The report says that the world's largest seed and agrochemical corporations were stockpiling hundreds of monopoly patents on genes in plants that the companies will market as crops genetically engineered to withstand environmental stresses such as drought, heat, cold, floods, saline soils and more. BASE, Monsanto, Bayer, Syngenta, Dupont and biotech partners have filed 532 patent documents (a total of 55 patent families) on "climate ready" genes at patent offices around the world. In the face of climate chaos, the Gene Giants are gearing for a PR offensive to re-brand themselves as climate saviours.
India's National Action Plan on Climatic Change has a mission dedicated to sustainable agriculture. However, its focus is not on sustainable farming and organic agriculture but on the "use of biotechnology." Farmers' innovations and participatory breeding options did not find any reference in the corporate/official response to climate change, Dr. Shiva pointed out.
The future of climate adaptation did not lie only in genetically engineered patented seeds in the hands of a few companies. It lay in the hands of millions of farmers conserving, improving and breeding hundreds of thousands of varieties of climate-resilient crops specifically adapted to local conditions and changing environment, she said.
The report includes a declaration of people's response to climate change which says that farmers' breeding and nature's evaluation maintains biodiversity which is the only safeguard against climate change. Industrial (chemical-based) agriculture lowers biodiversity and increases vulnerability. Climate change requires farmers' breeding and local adaptive strategies. Biopiracy is a threat to farmers, society and the earth.

The only other thing I can think of is sfc /scannow in command prompt but you would probably need the XP Pro CD in case it asks you for it.
There is a way of doing it without the CD but I could never get it to work.

Is this the mbam? link
Seems strange for it to behave like that. If you have the XP disc I would try sfc /scannow first. If that fails then try a repair install, repair XP
As with any repair it's risky so I'd back-up all your docs etc before running any kind of repair.
I'm still baffled why MalwareBytes Antimalware would create this havoc.

I'm still puzzled why mbam did this but within the program you can retrieve the log of what it deleted. I'm thinking that a rootkit or some other bug sent 'false' info to Malwarebytes. Worth running all your security software in safe mode. SAS is better in safe mode than mbam.
I'd certainly consider joining the Mbam forums to share your problem, forums

text: I just purchased an E Revo today. Bought the brushed version for the time being. However when I run it outside it is VERY slow. It doesnt do the full 30-35 mph like it is advertised. However, I am using the stock spur gear and not the added one they include. I was reading the sheet that was giving the prefered use of the optional gear and it said the faster gear is not made for off road. Which spur gear would be good for off road but also produce a good amount of speed?

A growing community that shares digital 3D designs has created an opportunity to study, encourage and stimulate innovation. This remix community allows people not only to prototype at a minimal cost but also to work on projects they are genuinely interested in (Acosta 2009; Dougherty 2012). Participants free of the limitations typically imposed by formal organizations develop products driven by their own interest.

10 Celebs Who've Been Criticized for Their Faith and Didn't Back Down
If we do this Christian thing right, the Bible says we'll definitely be persecuted. So, if you're near Hollywood, that persecution should probably be off the scale, right? Here are 10 celebrities that are often criticized for their Christian faith.
1. Sherri Shepherd
When asked "Does Satan exist?" this strong believer didn't waver on national television.
2. Candace Cameron Bure
This is a note from her statement of faith she shared on her website: "I believe it is the mandate of the whole Church to go into the whole world and to preach the Gospel to every living creature. (Mark 16:15, Matthew 28:19-20)"
This celeb is also clear about her desire to have a biblical marriage.
3. Stephen Baldwin
In an interview with Scott Ross of CBN, Stephen Baldwin shared this about his wife's conversion: She says, "Honey, sit down. I've got to talk to you. I've accepted Jesus Christ tonight as my Lord and Savior. I've been baptized in water. I need you to know that, from now on, what I need to do each day to the best of my ability is to become the most obedient servant to Jesus Christ that I can. Now, I need that to be clear, and I need you to understand. I don't know what you're going to do, but that's what I'm going to do." Then I watched her go through this radically beautiful metamorphosis. It was amazing.
Stephen went on to accept Christ himself shortly after 9-1-1.
4. Carrie Underwood
Carrie and her husband, Mike, are bold about their faith in God in this interview with Oprah.
5. Angus T. Jones
This "Two and a Half Men" star gets honest about his past role and his new-found faith in this interview.
6. Patricia Heaton
Patricia Heaton told the Christian Post, "God is perfect and you have to be perfected in order to exist with Him. We are not perfect. Sin is … when you miss the mark. We all are born with this sort of disease and the cure for the disease … is the blood of Christ." Heaton currently attends a "cool church" in Echo Park, Calif.,called the Dream Center.
7. Mark Burnett & Roma Downey
Mark and Roma share their passion for bringing the story of Jesus to the big screen.
8. Mark Wahlberg
Did you know Mark goes to church almost every day to start his day out in prayer?
9. Tyler Perry
Listen to Tyler Perry discuss the faith his mom passed down to him–and the faith he still has today.
10. Bono
Bono's faith in Jesus motivates him to leverage his celebrity status for the poor. Listen to his interview with Focus on the Family about his faith and activism.

Maya Angelou's memorial service June 7 at Wake Forest University was one that will go down in Wake Forest history, and, for that matter, in Winston-Salem history.
The N.C. Department of Public Safety employs more than 26,000 people. It runs prisons, the Highway Patrol, emergency management services, juvenile detention facilities, Alcohol Law Enforcement, the Capitol police and the National Guard. Can it add the State Bureau of Investigation?
When do kids become adults in the eyes of the law? Last month, the N.C. House of Representatives decided it wants to rewrite the answer. It passed and sent to the Senate the Young Offenders Rehabilitation Act, which would remove 16- and 17-year-olds who are charged with misdemeanors from the adult criminal-justice system and handle their cases in juvenile court.
Many North Carolina residents recall long, hot summer days working in tobacco fields as youngsters. Few remember the experience as easy or pleasant.
With the polls closed and several high-profile verdicts pending in Tuesday's primary, State Board of Elections computers used an old cinematic device to build suspense: slow motion.
The photo of Courtney Sanford's smiling face was transmitted all around the world. Her death was too tragically ironic for news organizations to resist.
The 32-year-old Clemmons woman was killed just moments after posting "selfie" photos and a "happy" message on Facebook -- while driving.
It's disappointing that officials of some N.C. charter schools are trying to evade full disclosure of who gets paid what at the schools. Charters are "public" schools and should be subject to the same transparency requirements as all other public schools.
A falling unemployment rate might produce bad news for North Carolina residents who still can't find work.
Changes in state law link benefits to the jobless rate. As it drops, payments run out sooner.
The Republicans who passed sweeping voting law changes last year said the measures were meant to prevent fraud and improve the election process.
Critics alleged more sinister motives. They claimed many, if not all, of the measures put in place were designed to reduce voting by minorities or Democrats in general
There may be some valid reasons to worry about the Common Core academic standards. Communism, pornography, social engineering, sex education and the Muslim Brotherhood are not among them. Yet, those were among the horrors cited at a legislative research committee hearing in Raleigh recently.
So Franklin Graham thinks America would be better off if our president cracked down on homosexuals the way Russian President Vladimir Putin has.
After revelations that the National Security Agency monitored Americans' phone and Internet use, and that the NSA spied on close allies like Germany and France, it probably shouldn't be surprising that our intelligence agencies have found another frontier to violate. But it appears our government is spying on itself.
North Carolina's metro mayors heard a sobering report when they met in Charlotte recently
Poverty is a bigger problem for them than it is for the state's economically distressed small towns and rural areas.
State judicial candidates are raising money like it's 2002.
The public finance system has been killed, so it's back to hitting up lawyers and lobbyists for most of the money needed to fuel statewide campaigns — maybe more money than ever.
If legislating were an Olympic competition, Republicans in North Carolina wouldn't be within sniffing distance of a medal anytime soon. Because judges don't seem to like much that comes out of Raleigh.

ECU is a program partner in the Australian Centre of Excellence for Local Government (ACELG), and as such, was commissioned to identify the capacity issues and needs of rural-remote and Indigenous local governments in key states and territories.
ECU conducted its study considering the issues in Western Australia, while other studies were conducted in Northern Territory and Queensland.
The project is part of ACELG's broad mission to build on existing local government programs and networks, encourage innovation and best practice across local government, foster good governance and strategic leadership and support action to improve local government workforce capability.
As part of the project, ECU researchers worked to identify key issues with local governments, government groups, state government representatives and other parties.
The results of the investigation are now being used to develop a strategy to assist in the capacity building of rural-remote and Indigenous local governments, with the goal of improving issues such as representation, governance, organisational capability and service delivery.
