SMC pullout only a threat
Rain or Shine team owner Raymond Yu said he just had to call me. The stories that had been flooding the papers since early this week have gotten him very worried, he explained, and he needed to get some enlightenment and assurance from an old-timer like me.
"Do you think the San Miguel teams will pull out of the league as they had insinuated in a press statement distributed to the media last Tuesday?" Raymond asked me.
Actually, I had earlier tried to get an answer to the same question from PBA chair Robert Non of SMC who must have been caught between his functions as PBA chair and his team affiliation.
"We already issued a statement last night that we have accepted the decision of Chito (Salud). We even apologized to the fans for what happened, that we are not condoning such a behavior from our import. It's all there in the statement issued yesterday," was Non's answer.
That I already knew. What I had wanted to hear was an update on SMC's plan to evaluate its continued participation in the league after this incident "damaged our (SMC'S) good name."
* * *
Earlier, I had also asked Rain or Shine coach Yeng Guiao and four other important personalities in the PBA for their opinion on Commissioner Chito Salud's decision to ban import Renaldo Balkman from playing in the PBA and asking him to pay a fine of P250,000. Was it too harsh?
Yeng admitted that at first he thought it was too harsh. "But on second thought, I realized that the commissioner must know some things that we don't. He also must consider the actions of Balkman from a wider perspective. In the end I trust the judgement of the commissioner on this matter."
Raymond shares Yeng's sentiment, and so does Talk 'N Text head coach and former import Norman Black.
"I think the commissioner had the right to impose any penalty he wanted, especially since the incident was one of the worst displays of unsportsmanship I've seen in the PBA in all my 30 years with the league," Norman said.
"If only Balkman had controlled his temper, he could have easily led his team to the finals. He is that good, he's in a different class," noted Raymond.
* * *
I also asked Alaska's Fred Uytengsu, who owns the oldest PBA franchise outside of the San Miguel teams, Mikee Romero of Globalport and Mon Segismundo, Meralco governor, for their thoughts on the Balkman case.
Fred said the league has it in its bylaws a rule that teams and players should abide by the commissioner's decision. "No player or team should be above such decisions and rules. As far as the Balkman incident is concerned, it seems the commissioner took all the facts and prior history into account. We must remember that player and fan safety are paramount and the PBA needs to set the right example."
For his part, Mon Segismundo feels that "we have to respect and support the commissioner's decision."
Mikee Romero, on the other hand, said it is nothing new for imports to get the ire of their local teammates and vice versa. "For example, in my ABL team Philippine Patriots, my import Donald Little got into a fist fight that escalated into chair-throwing with teammates Allan Salansang, Chito Jaime, and Egay Billones during a halftime break. But because this wasn't seen on television, the ABL commissioner didn't do anything about it," said Mikee.
* * *
Did I think San Miguel would pull out from the league?
"No," I told Raymond. I've been in and around the league longer than anybody I know and this is what I can say. The PBA is like a family which has its share of disagreements and misunderstandings. No matter how seemingly bad or serious the situation between ballclubs or between a ballclub and the commissioner, in the end the warring parties always kiss and make up.
"But what if Petron, Ginebra and San Mig Coffee really pull out? These are the three most popular PBA teams, will the league survive?" Raymond asked.
"Negative" I replied.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has two derivatives rules on its plate that the industry is challenging. The first would push transactions to open electronic platforms, which is expected to increase transparency but decrease profits. The other would make U.S. law trump foreign rules when the U.S. law is stricter. This editorial argues for both rules to be implemented.

A custom ROM with Windows Phone 7.8 bits on the HTC Titan
Although Windows Phone 7.8 is not expected to arrive until after Windows Phone 8 launces, bits of the OS are evidently floating around and are being incorporated in custom ROMs for various 1st and 2nd gen Windows Phones.
One of those is the 'EB Edition' found at XDA Forums and meant for the venerable HTC Titan. We decided to flash it on to one of our devices and give it a go, so make sure to check out the video after the break…

I hope the price rating I gave this is correct because I got mine with some online special, two tubes for 8 euros.
Ummm, LOVE! I am all about length when it comes to eyelashes and this does the job and then some. It holds a curl for hours, has a great wand and doesn't flake and I usually don't have to scrape off some excess product before applying.
The only downside for me: it doesn't layer without clumping. Like I can't do two coats of this without some major clumpage that makes me want to start all over. What has worked for me is waiting for the first layer to dry and then going over it with Maybelline's Great Lash Mascara to add some thickness to my lashes new length.

I used this mascara years ago, so when I decided to stray from my Kanebo mascara, I thought I'd give this one a go. It was a mistake as it clumps on me and flakes. It made my lashes look relatively nice and defined, but I couldn't layer it without it clumping badly. I won't buy it again.

As fickle as I am about always wanting to try the latest and greatest in makeup, this has been my one true HG for years. Having tried everything from drugstore to super high end, I just keep coming back to this. Great definition, length and volume. No clumping, no flaking, true black color. Not too wet and not too dry and no smudging in humidity or rain, despite this not being waterproof. Also appreciate that there barely is a smell to this, unlike certain other brands *cough*l'oreal and ysl*cough* I will cry if they ever decide to discontinue this one.

This is the best mascara money can buy and it is such a bargain! I've tried many high-end mascaras but keep coming back to Masterpiece Max. The formula is perfect, it's not sticky and just glides onto lashes. I always get asked if I am wearing false eyelashes when I wear this. No matter how many coats I apply my lashes don't look spidery and don't clump. Plus, it lasts for hours without any touch ups.

I adore this mascara! I always get asked if I'm wearing false eyelashes and what mascara I use. I put two-three coats on. One of the front, one on the back and another where I just pretty much blink on the wand to separate my lashes. I then apply to my lower-lash line. As I am blonde they don't show up -thank god for the bottom ones being like that because they are ridiculously long-even more than my top lashes!!! so I apply the mascara only on the first 1/4 of my lower lashes so only that part shows.

I love the intense dark black colour this mascara gives your lashes. It makes them look very full and thick. I've been using this mascara for years now and whenever I buy another one on impulse I always regret it and go back to this one! Sidenote: If you want to apply another layer later in the day it will clump...

Update: This started flaking on me after 6 hours of wear. Unacceptable.
Ordered from Amazon since I live in the US and this mascara is just ok. It gave me length, no volume. Kept my curl. Separates nicely. Little smudging or flaking. I love the thin rubber brush. Later in the day it tends to disappear some--why?
But...just length and I paid nearly 17 dollars for this so I think I can find similar for this price so won't repurchase. Just okay for me and my fine but long lashes.
I want the whole thing: length, volume, curl, glossy color, longevity. And this only delivers part.

its almost perfect!
intense colour
holds curls very well
gives definition and volume, and a little bit of length
dramatic lashes, if apply more than one coat
it flakes! :(
by the end of the day when i look in the mirror i can see littles flakes of black around my eyes
this is the first mascara ever that flakes this bad...
however, nothing a cotton bud cant fix!!
so yeah, i'd probably but it again

This is my favourite mascara at the moment, I absolutely love it, I't doesn't clump, it makes my lashes look longer and fuller and it doesn't smudge or flake off during the day. Already on to my second tube and would definetly repurchase.

The by-poll for the Howrah Lok Sabha constituency on Sunday was largely peaceful with about 64 per cent of the electorate turning up for voting.
"There are no reports of booth capturing, interruption or obstruction of voters and any instance of boycott of the poll. Minor complaints by the certain political parties and candidates were made and accordingly officials of the Commission intervened in the areas concerned," the State's Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Sunil Gupta said.
Leaders of both the Communist Party of India (Marxist) and the Congress alleged that activists of the Trinamool Congress resorted to intimidation of polling agents and voters in certain areas.
The contest is expected to be mainly between nominees of the Trinamool Congress, the Left Front and the Congress, though there are 13 candidates in the fray. The by-poll was necessitated because of the death of Trinamool Congress MP Ambica Banerjee. Counting of votes is on Wednesday.
The election has assumed added political significance as it comes ahead of the rural polls in 17 districts of the State.
The office of the CEO received 31 complaints from different sources and in some places ,the police had to intervene to defuse tension. Allegations of threatening voters were mostly received from polling booths in Bally and Panchla Assembly segments, said Mr. Gupta.
An office of the CPI (M) was attacked in Liluah, while journalists from a local television channel were assaulted allegedly by Trinamool Congress supporters in the Panchla area.
The State Congress lodged a complaint with the Election Commission alleging that the voters were threatened in the presence of micro observers at some polling booths.
"We have sent the complaints to the Election Commissioner with all the details and hope that necessary steps will be taken," State Congress president Pradip Bhattacharya said.
Referring to stray incidents of violence, the Left Front candidate Sridip Bhattacharjee of the CPI(M), said that the Trinamool Congress was responsible as they were getting desperate after realising that the party was increasingly being alienated from the people.
Among other measures taken by the Election Commission to ensure smooth polls were two surveillance vehicles mounted with cameras that did the rounds in sensitive areas, providing video footage of those areas that could be accessed by the Election Commission and the Office of the CEO, Mr. Gupta said.

Madhya Pradesh will witness a masive victory for the BJP with the state adding 10 more seats to the kitty of the NDA according to the C-Voter exit polls that were released today.
As compared to the last Lok Sabha Elections where the BJP won 16 seats, this year the party is expected to win a massive 26 seats, while the Congress is slated to win just 3 seats, down from 12 last time. This would give the Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan a massive boost within the party as he has led the party's electoral campaign in the state.
The state which has seen the BJP win the assembly polls decisively over the last three elections is generally considered a BJP strong hold, this scale of victoryl.

"When we see test results showing the right patterns we can say with a great deal of certainty that, despite initial concerns, the patient does not have cancer," Haugen says.
The test was developed by Veracyte, a California-based molecular diagnostics company. The company is marketing its thyroid test branded Afirma on a limited basis and plans additional commercialization in early 2011.
Veracyte's researchers developed the test by identifying genomic patterns that would reliably tell when a patient has no cancer present. Haugen's team at CU, along with researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital, a part of Harvard Medical School, is now co-leading a national trial to validate Veracyte's test. The trial involves more than 40 sites that are comparing the genomic test's results to analyses by two pathology experts of tissue obtained by traditional surgery. In September Haugen presented early information to an international thyroid conference in Paris. The findings confirmed the test's premise that when certain patterns appear among 142 thyroid genes (out of tens of thousands), the odds are very high more than 95 percent that there's no cancer.
That's a probability but not a certainty. Those odds are similar, however, to when an expert pathologist looks at the cells and determines there is no cancer -- but this time without surgery.
The American Cancer Society estimates that 44,670 new thyroid cancer cases (33,930 in women, and 10,740 in men) will be diagnosed nationwide this year. Nearly two-thirds of the cases occur in people between the ages of 20 and 55. The chance of being diagnosed with thyroid cancer has doubled since 1990, in part because of better detection.

Released: Nov 1996
Label: Rhino Atlantic
Released in 1996, Hard Core introduced the world to Brooklyn's Lil Kim, who remains amongst the most popular (and imitated) female rappers in the game today. Living up to its name, this album is full of rugged rhymes almost exclusively about sex, drugs, and criminal exploits. Features collabos with Biggie, Junior M.A.F.I.A., and Jermaine Dupri.

WOONSOCKET ŌĆō Lincoln High was a state runner-up last year in Division II and lost five players from that squad, but it has a solid nucleus that has come back.
After back-to-back state crowns in Div. IV, Woonsocket was moved up two divisions last fall and struggled with just one victory. This seasonŌĆÖs team has some talented players, but is still fairly young.
FOXBORO --ŌĆō Devin McCourty heard the same question a year ago.
ŌĆ£Do you think theyŌĆÖll challenge you deep?ŌĆØ
Even after a Pro Bowl rookie season from the cornerback out of Rutgers, it seems McCourty will once again be a target of opposing offenses in 2011.
The PatriotsŌĆÖ 2010 first-round draft pick totaled seven interceptions last season, tied for the second most in the NFL and one behind the RavensŌĆÖ Ed Reed for the league lead.
It would stand to reason, then, that quarterbacks might not be so eager to throw passes in McCourtyŌĆÖs direction this year.
Think again, McCourty says.
Most folks around Pawtucket are expecting Tolman High to handle crosstown foe St. Raphael Academy with ease on Friday night in their Division II-B opener at Pariseau Field, and those people have their reasons.
They remember last seasonŌĆÖs 37-0 regular-season stomping by the Tigers and TolmanŌĆÖs two-touchdown triumph over the Saints in the playoffs. They know that the Tigers have a seasoned junior- and senior-ladened team and the Saints lost quite a few key players to graduation.
PROVIDENCE - Besides looking at the thousands of runners and walkers lined on Francis Street for the start of the CVS Caremark Downtown 5K, thereŌĆÖs something else that puts a smile on the face of race director Charlie Breagy.
ItŌĆÖs good weather.
Carnell Henderson is aware of the burden heŌĆÖs placed on his Woonsocket assistant coaches. The head coach, who continues to come along after undergoing surgery in early August to repair a torn tendon in quadriceps muscle of his left leg, knows that just like the players have to step up their game whenever thereŌĆÖs an absence, so too does his staff.
The idea is to keep things as close to the status quo as possible until Henderson returns to the sidelines, which he is optimistic will happen this season.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö Seems like everyone is in agreement. Shea High once again has an extremely talented soccer team.
ŌĆ£Shea is the best team in the state in terms of skills,ŌĆØ Providence Country Day coach Stacey DeCastro admitted on Monday after his shorthanded team dropped a one-sided 6-1 verdict to the Raiders.
ŌĆ£There is one thing about Shea,ŌĆØ DeCastro added. ŌĆ£The only one that can beat them is themselves. Sometimes they forget what they do best. I thought they were too casual today on our one goal.ŌĆØ
If you blinked, chances are you missed out seeing the Pawtucket Red Sox in the 2011 GovernorsŌĆÖ Cup playoffs. The three-game sweep administered by Lehigh Valley was that fleeting.
In a weekŌĆÖs time the PawSox went from mighty division champs to postseason wallflowers. One Saturday night, theyŌĆÖre basking in the glow of winning the I.L. North. The next Saturday sees the clubhouse resemble that of a funeral parlor, with players quietly exchanging farewell handshakes and hugs while gathering up their personal belongings for the trip back home.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö With the season now over for the Pawtucket Red Sox, several players and coaches now set their sights on the winter ball addresses theyŌĆÖll hold from October through New YearŌĆÖs.
After spending a few weeks catching up on rest and letting the body recover from the grind of a long season, many of the PawSoxŌĆÖ players will depart for warmer climates, utilizing the opportunity to further augment oneŌĆÖs skills or put extra cash in oneŌĆÖs pocket.
Jim Doyle was among the several hundred runners, walkers and family members at the Bryant University campus on Saturday at the Shawn M. Nassaney Memorial Cross Country Race/Walk. He was there to remember his former runner, who died tragically in the 9/11 terrorist attacks along with his girlfriend Lynn Goodchild.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō ThatŌĆÖs all she wrote for the 2011 edition of the Pawtucket Red Sox.
Pawtucket concluded its meek showing in the GovernorsŌĆÖ Cup playoffs with a lackluster 3-1 loss to Lehigh Valley Saturday night at McCoy Stadium. The three-game sweep pushes the IronPigs into the finals where they will face defending champion Columbus.
Pawtucket led just once in the entire series ŌĆō1-0 after the first inning of the second game ŌĆō and wound up hitting 3-for-26 with runners in scoring position, including a hitless showing in six opportunities in Game 3. Collectively the PawSox hit .180.
LINCOLN ŌĆō Lincoln and Shea opened their respective 2011 seasons with a non-league tilt at Ferguson Field on Friday night, a game that validated why these team were once Thanksgiving Day rivals.
The Raiders erased a 14-point halftime deficit with a pair of rushing touchdowns and two-point conversions to edge the Lions, 22-20.
The teams played on Thanksgiving from 1968-2001, with the Lions holding a 17-16-1 advantage in those games. Shea rolled to a 29-14 victory over Lincoln in last yearŌĆÖs season opener, but this one was much more competitive.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō In a contest that went down the final snap, Barrington High held on for a 19-13 non-league win against Tolman High Friday night at Max Read Field.
It was a game in which no lead was completely safe. The Tigers pulled ahead 13-12 with 1:03 left after Rodney Jean-Pierre plunged in from a yard out.
All the good vibrations running up and down the Tolman sideline quickly went out the window, as BarringtonŌĆÖs Adam Hadley took the ensuing kickoff 93 yards.
Contributing writer
ALLENTOWN, Pa. --- For the second night in a row, the Pawtucket Red Sox struggled with runners in scoring position and it proved to be their undoing as they fell to the Lehigh Valley IronPigs 3-2 in 10 innings.
The loss puts the PawSox down two games to none as the International League Semifinal Series shifts back to McCoy Stadium.
Ex-PawSox prospect Brandon Moss had a big night, knocking in all three runs with a homer, double and single in the 10th inning that brought home the game-winner off reliever Randy Williams.
EAST PROVIDENCE --- Jalin Braxton and East Providence High ran away with this season opener.
The Second-Team All-State fullback picked up 153 yards and a pair of long touchdowns on 11 first-half carries on Friday night to guide the Townies to a convincing 42-0 non-league victory over Woonsocket High at Pierce Field.
The Townies scored on each of their first four possessions of the contest and ended the opening half with 255 yards on the ground and a 28-0 command.
Contributing writer
ALLENTOWN, Penn. ŌĆö Coming into Thursday nightŌĆÖs game, the IronPigs had gone a franchise-high 88 2/3 innings without a home run.
Pawtucket starter Matt Fox also had a streak of 26 straight innings without giving up a home run, so obviously, it would be home runs that would sink the PawSox 4-2 in their International League semifinal-round series opener against Lehigh Valley.
If Bruce Guindon and his high school football officiating brethren had their druthers, the installment of a fifth member to the longstanding four-man, on-field crew would have transpired years ago.
What was once a plea is now part of the Interscholastic LeagueŌĆÖs pigskin fabric. Beginning this season an additional pair of eyes will be called upon to aid specifically in the judgment of pass plays and blocks downfield, two areas that in the past have been tough calls a for group colloquially called ŌĆ£zebrasŌĆØ to accurately decipher.
The two-a-days are history. So are the scrimmages and Injury Fund games.
This weekend, the regular season for high school football gets under way with non-league games scattered throughout the state.
Eight of the Blackstone ValleyŌĆÖs 11 teams kick off tonight, and the big games of the bunch will feature two-time Division II champion Woonsocket taking on East Providence at Pierce Field and former Thanksgiving Day rivals Shea and Lincoln playing each other at LincolnŌĆśs Ferguson Field.
ALLENTOWN, Pa. ŌĆö A brief period of clearing skies provided some false hope that the PawSox may be able to play the opener of their Round One GovernorsŌĆÖ Cup Series against the Lehigh Valley IronPigs. Unfortunately, the clearing skies disappeared and another heavy downpour forced the postponement of the game.
The series will now be pushed back by one day, with the opener being played Thursday night at 7:05 at Lehigh Valley. PawSox manager Arnie Beyeler will keep the same pitching rotation in effect, with Matt Fox (10-4, 3.96) going up against Dave Bush (1-2, 3.91) in the opener.
EAST PROVIDENCE ŌĆö Central Falls learned the value of playing hard for 80 minutes, no matter how bad the weather is, or how slippery the field conditions.
The Warriors trailed East Providence 2-0 after the first 66 minutes of WednesdayŌĆÖs Division I contest played during intermittent rain showers at Pierce Field. But they kept pushing the ball into E.P.ŌĆÖs end and ultimately tied the game on Christian RodriguezŌĆÖs goal with just 30 seconds left in the match.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö The soccer fields at the McKinnon/Alves complex can handle the kind of rain that pelted its plush grass on Tuesday afternoon.
ŌĆ£The city really did a great job with these fields,ŌĆØ Tolman coach Jack Couto said after his Tigers opened their league season with a 2-0 victory over Moses Brown. ŌĆ£It was great we were able to get this game in today.ŌĆØ
The Tigers and Quakers played through a scoreless first half before TolmanŌĆÖs Manny Wongen, a speedy forward, broke through for a pair of goals in the second half.

The Connecticut company looking to construct a desalination plant in Huntington Beach is seeking engineers for the project.
Poseidon Resources Inc. announced last week it is looking for firms to vie for the estimated $350 million facility that is one approval shy of being able to start construction.
"Given the Coastal Commission's prior approval of our Carlsbad project we are confident that they will provide the permit approval necessary to build the Huntington Beach facility," company spokesman Brian Lochrie wrote in an email to the Register.
Lochrie added even though they haven't received a final go-ahead, preparing for this next step is common practice.
Local environmental groups say they intend to push hard to make sure the project doesn't move forward, saying the effect on taxpayers and the environment would be devastating.
"They are trying to repeat what they did on their first project (in Carlsbad), which was to refuse to supply the Coastal Commission with the necessary information to find their application complete ... we don't intend to let them get away with this again," said Susan Jordan, a consultant with Orange County Coastkeeper.
The Coastal Commission sent a letter to Poseidon on March 20 saying the company's submittal did not provide all the necessary information in its application.
The intake velocity, effect on marine life and the impact on the wetlands were listed among other parts of the application that were incomplete, according to the Coastal Commission.
Lochrie said Poseidon has reached out to the commission and requested a meeting to address any application concerns.
The desalination project is expected to go before the commission later this year. If approved, Lochrie said construction could start in late 2013.
There has been heavy support and an equally passionate objection to the facility since it first gained approvals in Huntington Beach in 2006.
Poseidon plans to build the facility adjacent to the AES power plant, which has an intake pipe in the ocean it uses to suck in sea water and cool its equipment.
The project is proposed to address water supply concerns in a drought-prone county. The facility would provide 8 percent of the county's water supply, pumping out 50 million gallons of fresh water a day.
More than a dozen Orange County cities have signed off on their support for the desalination facility.
The company had to change its plans after the State Water Resource Control Board required AES to reduce its salt water intake by 2020, which means Poseidon would have to operate independently of the power plant. Poseidon would use AES discharge water until the state policy takes effect, company officials said.

This refrigerated cake-like sweet is very famous back home in Jordan. It is not a real cake actually, no flour or egg is used, no baking is required, so it's so easy that anyone can make, that's why it's called "Lazy Cake". It can be prepared and kept in the freezer to take it out in any emergency unexpected visits, that your guests will be surprised how you made it that fast with that great chocolaty taste.
Mix sweetened condensed milk, sugar, melted butter and cocoa until smooth. Add mixture to biscuits.
Form mix into log or press into loaf pan that has been lined with plastic wrap. Secure the log, and press to combine very well and wrap. Cover with more wrap and freeze for few hours or overnight.
To serve, dip sharp knife in hot water and slice.
**You can use Digestive biscuts instead, but the traditional one which we're used since we were kids, is the one using Marie biscuits.
** New addition to the recipe: add 100gm melted cooking chocolate to the mixture.
» Metric Converter
Fortified Wines, Dessert Wines and Sparkling Reds are the best wines to pair with Chocolate Lazy cake (easiest ever).

Washington Ski Touring: Icicle Creek Ski Tours
Icicle Creek Canyon has long been known for excellent rock climbing, but is also a very viable option for winter ski touring. There are a few good tours accessible on foot, but your options drastically increase if you can use a snowmobile to gain some elevation and speed what would be a long trip on unplowed roads.
All of our tours begin about 10 miles up the Icicle from the intersection of Icicle Road and the Bridge Creek Road. From this point we can access tours on point 7600' (a subsidiary peak of Mt. Cashmere), and routes such as the popular Cannon Mountain couloir. Our location on the eastside of the Cascades tends to keep the freezing levels lower, and the snow a bit lighter, while the these tours are still near enough to the crest that you see substantially more snowfall than in town. It is not uncommon for storms to deposit a few inches in town and leave a foot or more on the mountains mid-way up the Icicle.
If you add in the possibility of a 45 minute trip by snowmobile we can generally get up above 4000', the starting elevation for places like Stevens Pass and suddenly your ski touring options are vastly expanded. From the Bridge Creek parking spot we can facilitate day trips to deep powder, and really good touring. For winter 2014-15 it is uncertain that we will be able to offer snowmobile assisted tours due to current USFS regulations.
ItineraryContact the office if interested in touring in the Icicle Creek area. We generally need a good snow pack for it to work out, but often find good conditions back there on days when adjacent canyons and even Stevens had poor skiing.

Party Boyz ft. T-Pain & Waka Flocka Flame - Flex (Remix)
Artist: Party Boyz
Featuring: T-Pain
Producer: DJ Mr. Rogers
Album: We in That Thing
Avg Rating: 2.7 ( 56 votes )
Don't let their collective stage name fool you; Dallas' Party Boyz are about more than just having a raucous good time. On the contrary, Booth newcomers 211, Da Sh*t Factory, Gutta Twinz, Settle4Le$ and Swagg Kingzz also enjoy chess, stamp collecting, long walks on the beach and… aw, who am I kidding? Though my wild speculations could very well be true, all I can glean from this newly-released remix of current single Flex is that these nice young men really, really like sex – the freakier, the better. Over DJ Mr. Rogers' synth-percussion production, the group engage in some verbal intercourse on the topic of, well, intercourse. The ever-horny T-Pain steps up to the mic with a rapped opener sure to elicit a few chuckles ("All my hoes still come like combo meals – would you like thighs with that?"), and So Icey up-and-comer Waka Flocka Flame rounds out the guest lineup, serving up equally racy rhymes later in the track. If this sexed-up remix leaves you hungry for more from the Party Boyz, pick up a copy of their latest LP, We're in That Thing, when it hits stores March 30.

No sign attack planned in U.S.-Homeland Security
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. officials reacted with little
public fanfare to the terrorist attacks in London on Thursday,
reporting no indication a similar attack was planned in the
United States and no immediate plan to raise the terrorism
alert level.
A Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman said federal
officials were promptly in contact with local authorities and
commuters were urged to be alert after a series of explosions
rocked London killing several people. British Prime Minister
Tony Blair said it was an apparent terrorist attack coinciding
with a meeting of Group of Eight leaders in Scotland.
President Bush was in Scotland for the G8 session and said
he directed homeland security officials to be extra vigilant as
Americans headed to work. Vice President Dick Cheney was on a
scheduled trip to his ranch in Wyoming and would be returning
to Washington, as planned, on Thursday afternoon.
"The war on terror goes on," Bush said.
U.S. stock futures plunged on word of the attacks but
operations in the U.S. capital proceeded largely without
interruption with no extraordinary measures taken.
"The Department of Homeland Security does not have any
intelligence indicating this type of attack is planned in the
United States," spokeswoman Katy Montgomery said in stressing
that the department would "constantly evaluate both the threat
information as well as our protective measures."
She said officials at the Department of Homeland Security
had spoken with others at the state and local level as well as
public and private sector officials representing major
transportation systems.
She declined to say what additional security measures had
been taken and where.
Washington police said security had been increased around
some key buildings and a spokesman said a Joint Operations
Command Center, only activated for large-scale demonstrations,
parades, or emergency situations, was activated immediately.
"At this time, there are no immediate plans to raise the
nation's threat level," Montgomery added.
The Department of Homeland Security raised and then lowered
the threat level for the financial services sector in New York,
New Jersey, and Washington from "high" or code orange to
"elevated" or code yellow in November 2004. The country remains
at code yellow.
The overall threat level has not been raised since the
December 2003-January 2004 holiday period.
In Washington on Thursday morning, the Metropolitan Area
Transit Authority said it was beefing up police presence
because of the London attacks.
"In response to events in London … we ask customers to
please be alert and report any unusual activity or suspicious
packages," the authority said on its Web site.
Bomb-sniffing dogs were on some Metro platforms and police
cars were seen outside stations. Police were also searching
Authorities in New York, where twin hijacked plane attacks
on Sept. 11, 2001, killed almost 3,000 people, said there had
been no additional security ordered or any unusual incidents
"We're reminding people not to leave unattended packages.
… We're also checking our trains before they leave the yards,
before they leave the terminals, as we always do," said Paul
Fleuranges, spokesman for New York City Transit.

by Geoffrey Ciani - The last two times I saw David Tua fight was ringside at the Roseland Ballroom. He did not look especially impressive in either performance. One was a seventh round stoppage against the unheralded Maurice Wheeler and the other was a unanimous decision victory over Robert Hawkins. In both fights Tua appeared slow, plodding, and unmotivated. He simply was not the same fighter he had been while working his way up the ranks, impressing fans with his explosive knockout power. That Tua, it had seemed, was long gone.
Still, news of Tua landing a fight with fellow-New Zealander Shane Cameron tweaked my interest. Theres something fascinating about knockout artists, and Tuas power and chin give him a chance against anyone. Those two attributes can carry one a long way in the sport. Tuas problems always stemmed from a lack of motivation and/or a dedication. All too often he would be lulled into the same trap whereby he slowly plodded after his opponent, never moving his head, only looking to land a big left hook. Any fighter with a decent jab could offset his rhythm, sending him back into the cycle of plod, eat a jab, reset..
This fight became more interesting when an interview featuring Tua and Cameron seemed to suggest renewed interest on the part of Tua. Was he really rededicated? Was he actually taking his career seriously, realizing this might be the last chance for him to cash-in on his talent? We had heard all this before. Time and time again, we would hear news of a new Tuamanone who would work the body, throw combinations, and come into the ring in fighting shape. Time and time again, he disappointed. Recent news of him hospitalizing a sparring partner turned a few heads, but still did not constitute real evidence that Tua was back. His fight with Shane Cameron, however, did.
David Tua is back!
His victory over Shane Cameron is not all that impressive in and of itself. That was expected by many, myself included. It was the way Tua won that was impressive. He has not had a performance like that where he looked this explosive in years. The way he clobbered Shane Cameron reminded me of the way he bludgeoned John Ruiz back on HBOs Night of the Young Heavyweights over thirteen years ago. His power was explosive, his punches seemed as fast (If not faster then) ever, and he still exhibited that relentless desire to press forward and chop down his opponent. More impressive was the fact that he was using elusive head movement and was throwing good powerful combinations, some of which were even started by powerful right hands. His trademark left hook looked as vicious as ever, and before long, Shane Cameron had no idea what hit him and probably had no idea where he was.
Keeping things in perspective, Shane Cameron is not exactly a world beater, so too much should not be made of this victory. In a day and age where there is not a whole lot to be excited about in the heavyweight division, this was a welcome turn of events. Can Tuaman make waves? If today was any indication, it appears he can. He will always be susceptible to fighters with a good jab who have a height and reach advantage, but regardless, he remains a dangerous foe for anyone out there. If he can continue doing the little things he did against Cameronmoving his head, throwing combinations, and being effective with his right handhe can once again become a force in the heavyweight division. At age 36, maybe he finally realizes that he still has a chance to cash in on his talent. It was an impressive victory for Tua and it will be interesting to see where he goes from here. Hopefully, he will remain active and we will see him back in the ring against sometime soon.

When Ian Sue Wing '93 came to Dartmouth from Trinidad, he was determined to devote all of his time to academics so that he could someday use his talents to help Third World nations, particularly Trinidad.
Four years of pulling all-nighters and committing almost every waking minute to his studies brought Sue Wing his goal – and a Rhodes Scholarship.
Sue Wing received his A.B. in Engineering Sciences last June and completed the requirements for the bachelor's degree in engineering at the Thayer School this past December. He was named a Rhodes Scholar in December.
The Rhodes Scholarship will allow him to study the economics of Third World development at Oxford University in London, England.
Sue Wing's motivation to become a Rhodes Scholar began early in his college career, stemming in part from the dedication of his fellow Trinidadian Joan Morris '90, who also received a Rhodes Scholarship.
"I came to Dartmouth from a Third World country, and I felt alienated with the Dartmouth culture," Sue Wing said. "I dedicated myself to my engineering studies, because I wanted to succeed, and because a lot of the social life at Dartmouth wasn't for me."
"The Trinidadian culture has a very strongly education-oriented society. My desire for knowledge was not just for myself, but to apply my knowledge for implementation in Third World development," Sue Wing added.
According to Sue Wing, his Dartmouth experience, combined with his desire and determination, pushed him to achieve his goals.
"Dartmouth offered me unparalleled opportunities to develop myself as well as get skills and tools necessary to aid in my country's development," Sue Wing said.
"I was galvanized by the shock of adjustment," he said. "The standards of living were much higher than in Trinidad. I found much of the social interactions and non-material aspects of the American culture superficial."
The Rhodes Scholarship program, created from money donated by Cecil Rhodes, the British industrialist and philanthropist, funds 79 selected scholars each year from universities in the United States, Germany and the former British colonies for a two year term of study at Oxford.
In awarding Rhodes Scholarships, the Committee of Selection considers the applicant's intellectual promise, high academic achievement, integrity of character, interest in and respect for human beings, the ability to lead, the energy to use their talents to the fullest, and participation and success in sports. However, varsity athletics is not a prerequisite for the awarding of the Rhodes Scholarship.
In addition to his high academic achievements, Sue Wing was actively involved in kigitsu, a form of martial arts, as well as the African American Society and the International Student Society.
Sue Wing used his experiences as an international student to write a chapter in a novel by Andrew Garrod, professor of English, and Jay Davis, former assistant director of the Composition Center, on how international students react to American college life.
While at Dartmouth, Sue Wing received several awards for academic excellence, including the Churchill Prize for academic excellence in the freshman year, the W.E. DuBois Award for general academic excellence, the Mary and Herman Hartman Fellowship at the Thayer School and the E.E. Just Prize in Science and Engineering, awarded by the African American Society.
In his sophomore year, he was awarded the Charles Collis Award to continue his studies at Dartmouth and during his senior year, he participated in the Presidential Scholars Program.
Sue Wing plans to use his time at Oxford to earn a M.S.C in the Economics of Third World Development. His research will deal with "environmental consequences of political and economic inequity in Third World development," a news release stated.
There have been 60 Rhodes Scholars in Dartmouth's history and the College normally produces a Rhodes Scholar every other year, according to Susan Wright, dean of graduate studies and the executive secretary to the committee of graduate fellowships.
Aside from Dartmouth, nine other Ivy League students were awarded Rhodes Scholarships this year, five from Harvard University and one each from Yale University, Columbia University, Cornell University, and Princeton University.
Rhodes Scholars are selected first through state and then regional competitions. Students can apply either through their home state or the state in which their college is located.
Each state selects two semi-finalists, who then compete at the regional level in eight districts composed of six states each. Four finalists are selected from each district to become Rhodes Scholars.
In addition to the 32 scholars selected from the United States, 11 are chosen from Canada, 8 from Australia, three from India,two from New Zealand, two from Germany, nine from South Africa and nine others from the former British colonies in the Caribbean and Africa.
At Dartmouth, most of the applicants receive a recommendation from the Committee on Graduate Fellowships. In order to receive this recommendation, the candidate must go through an evaluative interview. Normally, ten Dartmouth students are nominated each year.
"Students nominated for Rhodes Scholars must not only have very strong academic credentials, but also be proven in a particular field or excel in some other interest," said James Steffenson, chair of the Committee of Graduate Fellowships.

Scarborough Shoal now open to Filipino fishermen
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
President Aquino said Friday Filipino fishermen were no longer barred from the disputed Panatag Shoal, where Philippine and Chinese vessels are locked in a 23-day standoff.
"Our fishermen have not been prevented from going back, except for during the initial stage…They're going there," he said in an interview with Malacañang reporters a day after the Chinese reportedly increased their presence in the area well within the Philippines' 200-nautical-mile (370.4-km) exclusive economic zone.
The President said the government was gathering evidence of Chinese intrusion in Panatag, known internationally as Scarborough Shoal, for a planned case against Beijing before an international tribunal.
Mr. Aquino said Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario during his trip to the United States this week spoke with experts on how the Philippines can bring the dispute to a tribunal despite the usual requirement for the other side to agree to mediation. China wants bilateral talks to resolve the issue.
"There are certain modes…wherein even only one side can present (a case)," the President said.
"We are documenting everything that's been happening. When we get to the proper fora, then we will present all of this," he added.
The standoff started on April 10, when two Chinese surveillance ships stopped the Philippine Navy from inspecting Chinese fishing boats carrying poached marine life.

NPScreen develops a Nasopharyngeal cancer screening test that is simple, non-invasive, and 99% accurate
MARKHAM, ON, March 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ – A Markham, Ontario-based company has
developed a specialized test which screens for nasopharyngeal cancer.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140320/TO592)
Nasopharyngeal cancer, known as NPC, is a rare but deadly disease. It is
global in scope, and individuals with a Hong Kong, Southeast Asian,
Inuit, North African, or Middle Eastern background have a higher risk
for NPC. These individuals may benefit from this early screening test.
In the early stages, NPC has few obvious symptoms, and the cancer often
grows undetected, hidden in the nasopharynx, near the center of the
head. Usually it is diagnosed after the tumor is well developed, making
treatment difficult with poor survival outcomes. When detected early
and treated, the chances of full recovery are almost 90%.
NPScreen has developed a genetic test that detects the cancer in its
early stages, when it is still curable. The test is quick,
non-invasive, and most importantly, 99% accurate.
"We are excited about the launch of this innovative, unique screening
process that we believe will dramatically change the course of
Nasopharyngeal cancer and save thousands of lives EVERY year." says
NPScreen President Dr. John Phillips.
The screening process is managed as a simple, non-invasive office
procedure. Using a uniquely designed instrument to brush the back of
the patient's throat, the specialist takes a sample of surface cells,
which are then analyzed for the presence of the Epstein-Barr viral
genome sequence. The Epstein-Barr virus infects the epithelial cells of
the nasopharynx and is closely linked to the development of NPC.
There are numerous clinics in Canada, the U.S.A., Hong Kong and
Singapore, where specialists are now using the NPScreen test to screen
patients and their families for this aggressive cancer.
About NPScreen
NPScreen (www.npscreen.com) is a Canadian biotech company that has developed an innovative genetic
test for a deadly cancer. The test detects nasopharyngeal cancer in the
early stages, allowing quicker treatment and better chances for
survival. The company's management structure is supported by academic
and clinical partnerships across North America and Asia, including a
team consisting of the world's leading experts in the fields of
diagnosing and treating nasopharyngeal cancer.

State closes last medical shelter after Isaac
The state's last medical special needs shelter, opened before Hurricane Isaac, has been closed.
State officials say the shelter at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans closed Wednesday, after the shelter's final patient was discharged.
During the height of Isaac, Louisiana operated five special needs shelters at LSU in Baton Rouge and Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond, in Alexandria and Bossier and at the Morial Convention Center.
Officials say the special needs shelters provided care to more than 400 residents with complex medical needs that didn't require hospitalization but made them ineligible for a general shelter.

I never unlocked a sim to date. I've slipped in a new sim from the new carrier and only needed the phone unlocked.
I read http://www.ehow.com/how_7432443_unlock-gsm-sim-card.html and at step 3 it writes:
"Turn off your phone and remove your old SIM card. Insert a SIM card from another carrier. Do not use the SIM card locked to your current carrier."
I wonder if there is a true SIM unlock system just like the real Slim Shady.

.....there is a real Santa Claus.
In all seriousness, when I was a CS rep for a GSM carrier we would commonly get SIM unlock requests. If entered correctly within 5 tries (I think) it would prevent a customer from having to go to a store for a replacement SIM card. The SIM unlock has nothing to do with being able to use a foreign SIM, to do so that requires a phone unlock. The SIM unlock happens when a user has a password on the phone and someone enters the pass code incorrectly and the phone asks for a SIM unlock code.

Terms make all the difference here. Just like unlocking a phone to switch carriers I thought unlocking a SIM would be to use the SIM on another carrier. Don't laugh as just last week someone was adamant they wanted to do that to avoid buying the SIM.
If they just forgot the password, now that makes sense.

Once in a while a member thinks others here have "the code." Sorry, no, so far no one has them.
