Gobble, gobble! It's Thanksgiving and the Royces have invited the Altmans over for a bountiful feast. Don't worry, Dallas isn't cooking. Instead, she's hired a chef for the festive occasion. Unfortunately for the Shays, they have to spend another year with extended family wearing colonial costumes and feeling generally miserable. Maybe it's just Lisa that's miserable... but either either way, it's going to be an interesting holiday.
First, Tessa gives Lisa the great idea of refusing to wear her overbearing mother's ridiculous Thanksgiving outfit. Lisa's disobedience puts Sheila in a frenzy, so she comes up with a plan to force her daughter into the unfortunate dress. Sheila makes Lisa go to her room and then cranks up the heat to unbearable temperatures. Sheila has no other choice but to cool off by jumping in the shower. That's when Sheila strikes. She steals Lisa's clothing and replaces it with the colonial dress. Lisa has no other choice. She goes downstairs to greet the whole family in a towel, which she soon drops and exposes her naked body to humiliate her mother. It works. And while Lisa is feeling on top of the world, she takes her confidence to the streets. No, literally, she goes streaking in the streets of Chatswin.
Meanwhile, Tessa is bummed that she and George won't be able to do their only Thanksgiving tradition: hit up a NYC diner and drink black and white milkshakes. To make it up to Tessa, he asks Dallas to doing something extra fun with Tessa while he goes to work. Of course, Dallas' idea of fun is going to a hair salon and getting a Brazilian blowout, which isn't exactly how Tessa would spend her afternoon. Dallas strikes a deal with Tessa â if she gets a Brazilian blowout, they can spend the rest of the day doing anything Tessa wants. Yes, she means anything.
Tessa agrees and off they go to New York City. The joyous occasion turns sour when Tessa and Dallas spot George in the streets of NYC kissing an unknown woman. They leave before they're seen, but they're both shocked. Tessa feels particularly betrayed. How could George be such a hypocrite? Why does he get to go back to New York while Tessa suffers in the suburbs? It's just not fair. Not fair at all.
So, at the extravagant Royce Thanksgiving dinner, Tessa makes her disappointment known. She tells George flat out that she knows all about his secret girlfriend. While he feels bad that he's lied to Tessa about returning to the city, he also tells her that she can't always get what she wants. Sometimes parents do things that their children don't like. But who wants a holiday of appreciation to end on a bad note? Not George. He takes Tessa to the city where they carry on their Thanksgiving tradition another year.
Even though family can be stressful, it's clear that everyone in Chatswin has something to be thankful for this year. Lisa is thankful for her freedom; Dallas is thankful for her new dog; and George and Tessa are thankful for black and white milkshakes. Oh, and each other.

Clinical Trials in Melanoma
If you have melanoma, you may have the chance to participate in a clinical trial. Clinical trials evaluate new therapies, improve cancer care and patient quality of life, or prevent the development of cancer itself. These studies are responsible for most of the advances in cancer treatment, prevention, and diagnosis to date.
The search for effective cancer treatments often begins with basic research in the laboratory and studies with animals. If the results are positive, then research can be done with patients. Researchers carefully study these new treatments to prove that they are safe and effective with a certain number of patients. Once proven, the new treatments can be made widely available.
Clinical trials always have some uncertainty because they are unproven treatments. There is sometimes no way to know in advance whether a new treatment will work in a human patient, despite promising findings in test tubes or in experimental animals with cancer. However, if a treatment does prove to be effective, trial participants may be among the first to benefit.
If you are part of a clinical trial, you will receive the same level of care from doctors and nurses as any other patient. The only difference is that you may have more frequent or detailed tests and examinations to evaluate your progress.Find a Clinical TrialDiscover the Benefits of Clinical TrialsLearn about the Phases of Clinical TrialsQuestions You Should Ask

Doug's Four-Point Stance: D-backs fans didn't show up for Corbin and Co.
With a 9-0 pitcher on the mound, a possible MVP candidate on first and a potential Rookie of the Year at shortstop, there were fewer than 20,000 fans at the game against Miami. Only Astros and Indians fans were worse. Out of all the teams that are in first or second in action Monday night, Arizona drew the fewest fans...by 15,000.
0 for their last 18. As talented as they are, Chicago needs to shoot the puck and fight for rebounds. Quit trying to be so pretty.
Every major it's the same thing. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, he dominates the coverage. After Saturday, it's then realized he won't win so they start talking about the next major. When will the national media break the trend and start explaining why he won't win on Thursday? No one on the course is intimidated by Tiger anymore and he's not as confident.
The conditioning test is brilliant. After pushing the players through a tough workout, the Suns put prospective draft picks through a grueling test of stamina. What they really want to see is whether or not you feel entitled or above the need to do the test. If a player thinks they're too good for the test at 19-22 years old with no money, you have a window to their soul on how well they will listen to a coach after they've signed their contract.
2013-14 will be very tough. I don't think the talent is there to win 30 games. I'm also not concerned. This time the pain will lead to pleasure.

Creating Rice that Can Withstand Floods
Impacting the lives of more than three million people—what could be more rewarding for a researcher? Discoveries by UCR Professor of Genetics Julia Bailey-Serres and colleagues on the genomics of rice, a staple food of half the world's population, have allowed the creation of flood-proof rice.
Though rice grows in wet paddies, it is intolerant of complete submergence for more than four days. As a result, flooding destroys up to four million tons of rice per year in Bangladesh and India alone, with crop losses affecting primarily the poorest farmers and forcing the import of rice to feed their people.
Bailey-Serres, who works in the Center for Plant Cell Biology and the Department of Botany and Plant Sciences, and her research collaborators identified a cluster of related genes that controls the submergence tolerant trait, dubbed Sub1. Her expertise in flooding biology and gene regulation was key to enabling fellow researchers at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) to transfer the Sub1A gene into a popular high-yielding rice variety using precision breeding technology.
The new rice variety, dubbed Swarna-Sub1 and already prized for its pest- and disease-resistance and excellent grain quality, was released in 2009. It was adopted by farmers at an unprecedented rate and is now being used throughout flood-prone regions in southern Asia. In 2011, research by Bailey-Serres showed that the rice's ability to go dormant also makes it tolerant of drought.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) recognized Bailey-Serres' contribution as lead recipient of the 2008 National Research Initiative Discovery Award. The award recognizes outstanding researchers who address key agricultural problems of national and international importance. Honored with her at the UC Riverside ceremony were two scientists also part of the international project, Dr. Pamela Ronald of UC Davis and Dr. David Mackill of IRRI in the Philippines.
For the scientists, the most extraordinary rewards came from actually visiting the fields, observing the robustness of the new rice strains and seeing the large grin and clear pride on a Bangladesh farmer's face as he relates that this year his crop of Sub1 rice survived a 15-day flood.

The United States envoy to Somalia James Swan has said that Al Shabab militants fighting the Government of Somalia have been cornered by forces of the Africa Union Mission to Somalia (AMISOM) with the support of the Somalia National Army (SNA).
"Al Shabaab is under increasing military and political pressure as they continue to lose ground. There are also signs of increasing pressure on foreign fighters who are in the structure of Al Shabaab and they are beginning to flee seeing the tide is turning against them," Swan said in a teleconference with selected journalists from Africa Monday.
Uganda pioneered deployment of UPDF soldiers to constitute an African Union authorized peace keeping forces to restore law and order in the Horn of Africa nation where fighting of militants has raged for the last two decades. Other countries; Burundi, Kenya, Djibouti and Sierra Leone have since also deployed soldiers to AMISOM.
The peacekeepers fighting along with the SNA have since driven Al shabaab militants, fighting the Somali government, out of Mogadishu and captured several towns from the extremists.
Swan yesterday observed that the numerous successes of AMISOM have shown the force's military prowess.
He pointed out that the on-going build up to the capture Kismayo by the Kenyan contingent of AMISON is crucial as the town in the remaining source of revenue for Al shabaab within Somalia. "They should keep the pressure on Al shabaab," he said adding the US will continue to train and army AMISOM fighters heading for Somalia.
Reports from Somalia on Monday indicated that Al Shabaab officials have pulled out of the city of Kismaayo in southern Somalia. It is unknown where the officials have gone to amid high tension in the port city.
Somalia's Radio Garowe quoting residents of Kismayo said that the al Shabaab officials left the city on Monday. "Tension is very high. All prisoners have been freed. Everyone is asking what will happen next after al Shabaab's withdrawal from the town," the radio station quoted residents as saying.
Although it is not known where al Shabaab officials and fighters have gone to, reports say they may have headed to the town of Jilib. Other reports say they may have gone to the forested areas in the south of Lower Jubba Region.
Kismayo was al Shabaab's main base in southern Somalia and this development is a set back for the militant group and its supporters. Al Shabaab has not issued any statement regarding its withdrawal from Kismaayo although it previously vowed to defend the city.

Recipe of the Week:
By Pamela Redwine
Wild Rice Spring Rolls
Makes 8
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced ginger
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
1/4cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
1 cup cooked wild rice
1 cup shredded cabbage
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
8 100- percent rice paper spring roll wrappers or 8 iceburg lettuce leaves
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, ginger, onion, and pepper. Saute for 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the corn, rice, cabbage. Salt and pepper. Cook for 3 to 4 more minutes, or until heated through.
Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Dip a rice paper wrapper, on at a time, in hot water for a couple of seconds to soften. Place 2 tablespoons of the mixture in the center of the wrapper, fold in the sides, and roll them up. Place the rolls on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining wrappers.
Place the rolls in the refrigerator to cool for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until ready to serve.
Tip: Iceberg lettuce leaves work well in place of the spring roll wrappers. Just separate the large leaves from the outside of the lettuce, and serve the lettuce leaves with the filling on the side. Each diner will then roll his or her own spring roll at the table.

Napleton History
Napleton History
Edward W. Napleton, opened his first automotive business in 1931 on Chicago's South Side. With a $700 loan, a strong work ethic and a belief in common courtesy, he opened the Napleton Buick Service Station. Francis Napleton, Edward's son, was by his side to help foster the growth of the young business in its early years.
Napleton's first dealership was a DeSoto franchise, and when that brand was discontinued with little warning, Napleton quickly aligned itself with another Chrysler nameplate, Plymouth, eventually being awarded several additional franchises. Edward and Francis both believed in hard work and exceptional customer service, values that they passed down to the next generation of Napletons. Five of Francis' eight children have worked in the auto business their entire lives.
Edward F. (Ed) Napleton, Francis' son, is a third-generation auto dealer. He began his career as a kid sweeping the floors at the dealership owned by his father and grandfather. He moved up the ranks, serving as a technician, then in sales and finance, and eventually as a general manager. At just 23 years of age, Ed became the youngest car dealer in the United States when he was awarded a Pontiac dealership in Blue Island, Illinois.
Common courtesy is the simple philosophy of treating the customer the way we'd want to be treated," said Bill Napleton of his family's success in the car business. "This is something that my grandfather, Ed, and my father, Fran, had instilled into my brothers and I as we grew up working in our family's business. My Grandpa Ed knew that if you treat people right, offer them more for their money and give them great service, they'd come back. And you know what? Eighty years later, he was right.
Today the Napleton Family operates more than 50 dealerships in four states. Taking pride in helping each community they live and work in, the Napleton Family name has become synonymous with excellence and teamwork. What started as a small family-owned business has blossomed into one of the most forward-thinking dealership groups in the country.
Ed's business has grown to include 32 franchises - housed in 15 different locations - in four states. He owns domestic, import and high line franchises, and employs more than 1000 people throughout Illinois, Florida, Pennsylvania and Missouri. Four of Ed's five children have proudly joined him in pursuing the family business and have a hand in the company's day-to-day operations.

DOAG 2012: News on WebLogic 12c, monitoring, licensing
I spent three interesting days at the DOAG Konferenz 2012 - the German Oracle User Group's conference. It was the 25th birthday and my first time as a DOAG Konferenz speaker. In this post, I will not talk about my presentation, but rather give you information from the sessions I went to. I will talk about three areas: Oracle WebLogic 12c, monitoring & diagnostics, and licensing.
Regarding WebLogic, Mr. Munz from munz & more described 10 things to know about Oracle WebLogic 12c. Here are some of them I did not know:
- WLS 12c is still bundled with JDK6 but it is certified and runs with JDK7. JDK6 EOL has been postponed from July 2012 to November 2012 (now) but then again, it was postponed to February 2013
- To avoid using different settings when you start a managed server with the start script or via the nodemanager, you have to set the startScriptEnabled to true to always use the parameters defined in the start script
- EJBs development has been simplified and is now packaged in WAR files
- WLS can now be managed with RESTful Management Services
- Using j4psh (JMX-shell) or jolokia (deployed as a war file) to work with the MBeans
- Proxy plugin for load balancing is missing, you have to use the one delivered with WLS 10.3.6
There were several sessions about monitoring, tuning, and diagnostics. I will list some tools, without explaining them, that can be used to help us to solve or avoid connected issues:
- JVMD, Automatic Workload Repository for Oracle DB
- ThreadLogic for Treads
- JProfiles, Jprobe, JVisualVM for CPU use and timing analyze
- MemoryAnalyzer, VisualGC for memory and Grabage Collection
- Application Testing Suite from Oracle
- Application Replay Pack
- HP LoadRunner, Jmeter
- Diagnostic Frameworks from Oracle which works with:
- WLDF from WebLogic
- DMS - Dynamic Monitoring Service
- ODL . Oracle Diagnostic Logging from Oracle Fusion Middleware
- ST - Selective Tracing
The room where Mr. Hatzinger from DBCONCEPTS explained the licensing and licensing-stumbling blocks was full, which means that I was probably not the only one having difficulties to understand the Oracle licensing model. He talked about some gray zones that can lead to misinterpretation and that are not always clearly defined. I will not describe the session, but just tell you about his sources of information:
- Software investment guide
- OLSA (Oracle License and Service Agreement)
- Product license information guide
- other like Core factor tables
At the DOAG Konferenz 2012 I learned a lot, especially in terms of best practice, and met very interesting people. I am already curious about next year's event!

COLUMBIA CITY — John Slavich is known as one of the faces of the Whitley County Community Foundation, but to his five children he is known as "Dad."
This father is somewhat of a "super dad." Having two teenage kids in his 50's will make him a superhero to any young parent.
Lowell Elden Sidwell (Sid), 81, passed away at 10:50 p.m. Sunday, June 10, 2012, at his home, in Columbia City, surrounded by family.
Sid's many successful business accomplishments include the opening of "Sid's Barbershop" on Wells Street in 1957, "New Look Auto Body Shop" in 1969, and the "Fish of Stroh Restaurants" starting in 1973.
COLUMBIA CITY – Do you have a few – or perhaps a collection – of old postcards from Whitley County?
If so, The Post & Mail would like you to share them in a special community project.
"Wish You Were Here . . . Historic Postcards from Whitley County, Ind." is the project that will be completed during the next six to eight weeks.
The final result will be publication of a special "coffee table" book that will contain about 100 pages, printed on 70# paper, perfect bound with a colorful laminated cover.

My friend who works for the city of New York was crowing this month. His union had won its final courtroom verdict against the city and now he's in for a big payday.
The case involved titles. Municipalities and companies across the country bestowed big titles on employees -- making them administrators. Wow! But these workers caught on to the fact that administrators aren't entitled to the same benefits as their underlings, who not only get protection through their unions but, most importantly, mandatory overtime pay.
Show me the money
So they have figured out that it isn't worth it to be a boss. Instead they want the money more than what may, or may not, be an promotion, particularly with the recession biting into their paychecks. Class-based wage claims filed under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act are becoming increasingly more common, according to people I've spoken to in the insurance industry. And some have resulted in multimillion-dollar settlements or verdicts against the employer.
This hurts insurers twice. First, most big companies carry Employment Practices insurance, which protects against the cost of lawsuits by employees. Some of these suits, such as those for sexual harassment, can be minor, but a multimillion-dollar settlement with thousands of workers is a different story. If the judge rules that the employer should have known better, workers can receive up to three years back pay.
And the insurer may also have to shoulder the burden of the lawsuit and pay for the opposition attorneys. In one recent case, a major company had to pay $80 million in attorneys' fees and other costs.
Revolt in the ranks
But I've learned that insurers can also face a revolt in their own ranks: agents, adjusters, brokers and IT personnel who feel they've been wrongly classified as administrative and therefore exempt from overtime when, in fact, they were simply pencil pushers without any authority or discretion. Claims adjusters from Farmers Insurance, account specialists at Aon, and employees at United Healthcare have all won cases or received settlements from their companies. I hear insurance agents at other firms increasingly saying that commissions are not enough, and so are filing claims to at least collect minimum wage.
Both the courts and the Labor Department seem increasingly sympathetic. Employee tasks such as logging on to a computer and phone system, launching software and checking (business) emails are important to their work, and so should be included in their comp time, the department ruled in one such case.
The key factor in determining if an employee is an underling or boss is whether he or she exerts independent judgment concerning significant business affairs, and not just once, but regularly. If you don't, I'd take the money and run.
Pension payoff
My friend has already computed how much he's going to get. The judge agreed with his union three years ago, but the city appealed and lost, so the payoff clock has been ticking all that time. He's looking for straight overtime on every hour he's worked between his regular 35-hour-a-week shift and the 40 hours he often worked. Anything above 40 hours will pay overtime at time and a half, or an additional 50 percent.
Since he already is paid a good annual salary, that's a hefty increase. And the additional money he earns now goes to increase the size of the city pension he'll collect when he retires. So the best title of all: Rich and Retired.

A rare spectacle engulfed Sanyati when Zimbabwe's top musicians descended on Geza Farm for what was dubbed the "Sanyati End of Year Party". Blessing Shumba, Sulumani Chimbetu, Tanga WekwaSando and Fungisai Zvakavapan-Mashavave all gave their fans something to smile about.
The gig was free courtesy of Sanyati businessman and farmer Blessed "Man of the People" Geza.
Blessing Shumba proved to be the biggest victim of piracy when fans from this remote party of the country asked him to perform some of Mathius Mhere's songs.
Not many people in this area knew that Shumba and Mhere were two musicians whose music sounds the same.
"Favour and Vimba naJehovah are not my songs, so I can not perform them," said Shumba after fans asked him to perform Mhere's songs.
The incident did not dampen Shumba's spirit as he put up a good performance.
It was, however, Fungisai who stole the limelight with a polished act that left many asking for more.
Her music proved to be popular among the fans and the chikende beat in most of her songs was just what the fans wanted to keep them on the dance floor.
As is the norm, Sulumani's "Sean Timba" also proved popular among the revellers.
Sulu delivered his best before heading to Victoria Falls for the Victoria Falls Carnival.
Tanga WekwaSando did not show any signs of rust after a long absence from the stage.
The show was the first of its kind in entertainment- starved area of Sanyati.
"Sanyati is my home area and the gig is my way of giving back to the community that raised me.
"This is not the first time that the community has been given a treat but this time we did it in a big way by bringing the musicians they only hear on radio right into in their backyard," Geza said.

Any attempt to describe the music of Jonathan Best is bound to fall short.
Equal parts Gospel tenor, boogie-woogie piano, and avant-garde sound collage,
his music spans cultures and idioms with ease and it's this element, perhaps more than any other, that has helped to establish Best as a local musician with a "must-see" live show."
-Susan DeFreitas, Zene Magazine. "Imagine the intensity of Jerry Lee Lewis's piano playing with the deliberate
onstage deliberations of Badly Drawn Boy and the avant-garde experiments of (insert favorite found-sound
avant-garde artist here...) and you've got an idea just how quirky and fascinating his performances
are." -Tony Fletcher, iJamming.com
Jonathan Best's music defies genres but is something like
"avant-garde boogie-woogie," both self-revealing and socially conscious, equally silly and serious, and
unlike anything else one is likely to see around these parts. His emphasis on sampling, found items, audience
involvement, and intimate settings creates a quasi-mystical experience, while his sheer honesty and genuine
humility generate a sense of recognition and kinship. In short, Jonathan Best is a musical innovator who
deploys his talents in a spirit of community and celebration, not for fame and commercialism as is often
the case these days.

Tip-off: Friday, April 12, 7:30pm (local), Perth Arena
Broadcast: ONE (7:30pm WA, 9:30pm elsewhere); Sky Sports NZ; NBL.TV (live)
Radio: Sonshine FM; ABC Grandstand; Radio Sport NZ
Last time they met: New Zealand 79 (Corletto 19, Jackson 14, Vukona 10) d Perth 67 (Lisch 19, Redhage 17, Knight 13), GF1, Vector Arena
The story
While their offence appeared to be the issue, the Perth Wildcats were bitterly disappointed with their defensive efforts in Game 1 on Sunday.
They rarely managed to disrupt New Zealand's offence and managed a near season-low eight points from turnovers.
But when you consider the Wildcats' leaders in deflections over the past three seasons are Damian Martin and Cameron Tovey – both averaging near double figures – that becomes a little less surprising.
With Martin out and the hobbled Tovey only playing eight minutes, no one else stepped up to the plate.
"I didn't play a lot so I did a lot of watching," Tovey said.
"That was our worst game – not just this year but in a couple of years. There's a reason we are in the Grand Final but we didn't follow that system at all."
For Tovey, that system starts with defence, which allows the Wildcats to play their flowing transition offence.
"Because that wasn't up to scratch we couldn't really flow at all in transition," he said.
"We rely on getting deflections and steals to really speed up the opposition."
And that's where the Wildcats – whose defensive brilliance has kept opponents to an average of fewer than 60 points a game at Perth Arena this season – need to get back to playing with the defensive swagger Tovey and Martin personify.
"Bevo mightn't like it at times but we both take some risks and gamble a little bit," Tovey said.
"Even if you don't get it you can often deviate the pass and take them out of their offence. It gets the team going and raises our intensity."
Expect plenty of that in Game 2 from the Wildcats' retiring small forward, whose defence and rebounding prowess could be a key to extending his career one more week.
"I don't want to end in Perth, I want to finish my career off in New Zealand with a win," Tovey said.
The stats
During the month Tovey missed late in the season with a hip injury, opposition teams increased their offensive rebounding percentage from 26 per cent to 32 per cent.
In games played at Perth Arena this season the shooting percentages have been 38 per cent from the field and 27 per cent from long range. Across all other venues those numbers are 43 and 34.
Perth average 15.9 points from turnovers at Perth Arena, constituting 21 per cent of their score.
In Auckland over the past three seasons, the Breakers have shot an impressive 46 per cent from the floor and 38 per cent from long range against the Wildcats, but in Perth those numbers drop to 41 and 31.
New Zealand are 2-5 in Perth in that period, but in their two wins out west their shooting percentages have been 48 from inside the arc and 38 from outside.
The story
A key to this game could be how many mental scars the Wildcats carry from their uncharacteristic performance in Game 1.
The Wildcats' defensive pressure has bordered on unbelievable at Perth Arena – bayed on by their home crowd they have kept New Zealand to a total of 122 points in two games. In all other games the Breakers have averaged 83.9.
If Perth have that mentality it will take an exceptional shooting performance from the Breakers – in the league's most difficult shooting arena – to claim the title in a sweep.
Expect some tweaks from Perth to open up more driving lanes against the sagging New Zealand defence, and if that creates a few more easy baskets the Breakers will find it difficult to keep up.
Prediction: Wildcats by 6

It was a somber day in Southampton Town Hall as supervisor Linda Kabot delivered the 2010 budget message. Kabot filed the tentative budget at the eleventh hour on Wednesday, September 30, with the town clerk. The contents of the preliminary fiscal plan was discussed during an emotionally fraught special meeting as Kabot announced tentative plans to layoff 48 town employees, to privatize the town's animal shelter and to increase the tax rate by 5 percent.
Kabot, however, maintained that the light at the end of this financial tunnel is a fiscally sound budget, which will clear deficits in the Police and Highway Fund. She added that spending in 2010 will be cut by $4.5 million.
The overall budget for Southampton in 2010 is expected to be $78 million with an extra $800,000 slated for the general fund's "Rainy Day Fund." Budget documents showed that a home owner, with a property assessed at $500,000, will pay an additional $33 in town taxes in 2010. Last year, the tax rate was $1.321 for every $1,000 of assessed valuation. However, in 2009, almost $4.5 million of surplus was used for tax rate stabilization. In 2010, the tax rate is $1.387 per $1,000 of assessed valuation. Next year, the town will not be able to use surplus monies for tax rate stabilization as they are focusing their efforts on replenishing the "rainy day" funds. Kabot further stated that she hoped to wean the town off of using surplus monies to reduce taxes.
Kabot added that the preliminary 2010 budget includes a plan to handled existing deficits in the Police and Highway Fund. These debts accrued from 2004 through 2007 and were funded through inter-fund borrowing, or "IOUs", from the town's general fund to the police and highway accounts. The 2010 tentative budget sets aside $3.6 million to pay off these and other debts with $1.4 million for the police fund and $1.5 million for the Highway Fund, $150,000 for the E-911 Fund and $150,00 for the Hampton Bays Water District. In the tentative budget, Kabot said she has laid down a plan to incrementally build up the reserves in the Police and Highway Fund over the next few years.
In order to clear some of these deficits, items from the expense side of the town's ledger had to be cut and the tentative budget finds a bulk of its savings by cutting 48 positions. The town has already saved $600,000 through natural attrition and a hiring freeze in 2009, said Kabot. Mid-year cost saving measures for discretionary spending, equipment purchases and consultants were already enacted in 2009 and now, contends Kabot, the board must slice deeper to the bone. The proposed staffing cuts include the director of housing, the youth counselor, the assistant director of the youth bureau, six sanitation helpers in the waste management division, the assistant town director of public transportation and traffic safety, four law enforcement positions and all the positions associated with the animal shelter. If the board supports the proposed lay offs, these employee's contracts will be terminated in January 2010.
An alternative to layoffs, said Kabot, is to enact a combination of wage freezes, lag pay, deferred compensation, early retirement incentive plans and salary parity adjustments. Kabot said the board was also exploring a mandatory week-long furlough. With a furlough, town hall would effectively shut down for an entire week. Kabot estimated this measure would save the town around $1 million.
The elimination of all the positions in the animal shelter hints at the town's proposal to privatize this service next year. Kabot argued that over the last year the board has curtailed the shelter's hours of operation and raised fees which led to a $300,000 savings for the town. However, Kabot maintained that the town spends $1 million per year to operate the shelter and isn't required by law to provide this service. The town is mandated to have an animal control operation, said Kabot, but not a shelter. Kabot said she plans to put in a request for proposals, or RFPs, for private entities to lease the animal shelter facilities from the town. She added that the town's existing staff could be put on a preferred hiring list for the private company who moves into the shelter.
Similarly, Kabot added that the town is exploring privatizing one or two of the town's waste management transfer stations or closing down the stations a couple of days in the week. Kabot assured the public that the Westhampton and Hampton Bays stations would most likely be looked at for privatization as Sag Harbor has the most consistent use out of the town's four facilities.
Although the final count for the capital budget deficit has yet to be released, Kabot said she expects the figure be brought down from $10 million to around $5 million. Kabot explained that several of the authorized monies intended for projects weren't completed in full, thus reducing the size of the overall deficit. To correct these errors in the capital budget from the years 2004 through 2007,Kabot hopes the board will opt to do a deficit reduction plan within the town rather than deficit financing. Kabot argued that deficit financing diminishes the town's credit score, forcing them to pay more in interest payments.
"The multi-million dollar Capital Fund requires more extensive remedial action and a multi-pronged approach that includes a 5-year repayment plan through a separate tax line listed on the property tax bills and an exemption from the five percent tax rate increase cap computation," said Kabot in her budget message. Kabot later added that the town will also sell off surplus properties to pay off the Capital Fund debts.

4/29/2013I love the game itself, but don't download it because this biotch sets it up so the "krashsuit broke a joint" after level 6 so you can fix it. Guess how you fix it. Guess again, you have to buy the full game to fix it. A complete rip-off of a potentially great game.
4/12/2013Love it but the fact that the I think 6th level or so your guy goes all wierd and you have to buy the game is kind of cheap
3/3/2013Fun. Wish there was more content.


text: Watching Columbus v. FC Dallas. Up 1-0, Columbus coach Bob Warzycha pulls a Bob Bradley, holding onto his subs until the 80th minute, even though his starters are clearly gassed. The result, two FC Dallas goals, one on a penalty, to put the Crew down 2-1. I really wish the teams I follow would take the initiative on their subs and make their opponents respond instead of taking an early goal and sitting back, letting their opponent get momentum for late goals.

Over 600 racers were entered in advance for one of Scotland's largest triathlon events, marking a real festival occasion under the shadow of Wallace Monument with The Clan Stunt Team returning for a second year to wow the crowds with their spectacular display.
First off were the ladies 'elite' sprint racers closely followed 11 minutes later by the fastest men hoping to play catch up in the boys v girls first home race. Emma Lamont from Fusion Triathlon Club was however too speedy for the boys and couldn't be caught and so took the title along with the female overall and senior categories. Professional triathlete Fraser Cartmell was first across the line for the men, but sadly was disqualified for a road violation, paving the way for Euan Mulhern of Fusion Triathlon Club to take first place.
The novice race followed with the first of the Scottish School's champions being crowned. The 400m swim, 14km cycle and 2.5km run was an ideal platform to transform a host of newbies into fully fledged triathletes as well as testing the abilities of the juniors racing for a Scottish title. Steven Rutledge from Grantown Grammar finished 2nd male overall and first in the age 17/18 category and Ciara Peters from Triathlon Inverness was 4th female overall and first in the 17/18 category.
The final race of the day was the age 8-16 School's Championship event which saw 173 children take to the start line, many sporting triathlonscotland race number belts, received as part of their triathlonscotland membership pack. The full School's Championship results are available here and the race results are below.
Next up for young racers is the Scottish Youth Triathlon Championships taking place at Bellahouston Park on Saturday 22 June. Unlike the Youth Championships, competitors must be members of triathlonscotland to win a national youth title. To join triathlonscotland in advance of the race, please visit www.triathlonscotland.org/membership. Racers can also join triathlonscotland on race day at registration.

This article explains how to use the Briefcase feature in Windows XP.
Using BriefcaseThe Briefcase feature in Windows XP helps you keep your files updated by automatically synchronizing multiple copies of individual files. In other words, Briefcase keeps track of the relationship between files on two or more computers. For example, if you use a desktop computer at the office, and you use a portable computer when you are on the road, Briefcase synchronizes and updates the files on your desktop computer to the modified versions when you reconnect your portable computer to the desktop computer.
Briefcase stores and displays the update status of files. It keeps track of whether a file is linked to the original file on your main computer, or whether it is an orphan file (a file stored in Briefcase that is not linked to another file). You can use this information to keep your files organized and to keep track of the most recent versions of your files.
Use Briefcase when you use two or more computers to work on files, and when you need to frequently transfer files between computers by using a direct cable connection or a removable disk.

TIVO ALERT: Michael Richards Apologizes
An anonymous source reports that Michael Richards will appear on The Late Show with David Letterman tonight, liva via satellite. According to the source, Richards hijacks Jerry Seinfeld's interview and uses the time to apologize for… well, you can take a guess.
So you know what this means? Jerry & Kramer, reunited at last! Oh boy! If only hate fueled outbursts were more common amongst Seinfeld alumni, perhaps they'd make more public appearances together. We can only cross our fingers.
Kramer's Racist Rant the Greatest Thing To Happen To Paul Rodriguez's Career Since Born In East LA
You know what's worst than going onstage and shouting horrifying racial slurs? Trying to squeeze a little much-needed pub out of it. During his completely unnecessary press conference (not this one, but the second one) outside of The Laugh Factory in the wake of this weekend's Kramergate fiasco, outraged comedian in a Hawaiian Shirt Paul Rodriguez simply could not resist the opportunity to pepper a few "Rodriguezingers" into his empassioned
improv act condemnation of racism in stand-up comedy. In a dazzling display of comedic economy, P-Rod packs in references to Jews, Mel Gibson and (never failing to be timely) racist mid-90's police office Mark Fuhrman (hey, OJ's back!) in a funny-flurry lasting just under 30 seconds, desperately trying to prove that he was the authority on racial stereotype humor long before the very first lazy "lazy beaner" hilarity-nugget trickled into the Mind of Mencia. This is, of course, the most press attention Paul Rodriguez has ever enjoyed (you know Louie Anderson is just PRAYING that the guy who played Newman shows up to his gig tonight at the Funny Bone in Toledo to tell us why he hates Asians), which might explain his total inability to even pretend not to be using this unfortunate incident to further his unfunny joke of a career, and the reason that P-Rod is today's Daily Douche.
SIZZLER: Doomed Celeb Love Is "In Bloom"!
Ohmygod b*tchez, guess who the latest couple of Hollywood hotties who've been caught "canoodling" enough times by anonymous "insiders" that they've caused the tabloid rags to up their status to "In a relationship"? It's Kirsten Dunst and Orlando Bloom! Can I get an "OMG LOL WTF ROFL!"? I mean, this is the most SHOCKING, INTERESTING and EXCITING news I've heard in the last four minutes, and it immediately poses two critical questions:
a) How many celebrity gossip writers will make a pun using the word "Bloom" in relation to love "blooming"?; and
b) What will the inevitable tabloid nickname be? "Bloomst"? "Dubloomer"? Personally, I'm partial to "Dumb".
Ah, how the Arbitrary Matching of Super-Fascinating Famous People game can be so confounding! However, this scorching hot gossip couldn't come at a more perfect time, because the film they starred in together, Elizabethtown, just so happens to be making its late night cable debut on the Encore Love channel this week! SIZZLING!
Unemployment Check: CATFIGHT- Ripa v. Aiken
While guest hosting for Regis Philbin, teen heartthrob Clay Aiken managed to piss off Kelly Ripa by covering her mouth with his hand in an attempt to shut her up during an interview. We're not sure what motivating factors led to this. Maybe Clay was trying to be funny, or maybe he was just overcome with curiosity and wondered what a woman feels like. Either way, it was incredibly, incredibly awkward (it all goes down 2:42 into the video). And as far as Kelly declaring that she doesn't know where his hands have been… yeah, we can venture some guesses.

Courtney Love, Like You've
Never Repeatedly Seen Her Before
Courtney Love has decided to strip down and bare it all for Pop, a British fashion magazine. This comes on the heels of Love deciding to strip down and bare it all for complete strangers, and her need to occasionally strip down and bare it all for a warm meal.
Manny's Babes has scans of the pics. If you head over there you can see a bunch of the photos without Paul Scheer's disapproving face covering the bathing suit parts. Like just about everything Courtney does the pictures are NSFW, not entirely enjoyable, but at the same time oddly intriguing and worth a few seconds of your time.
Let's see them use that quote on her next CD cover.

- Oasis' greatest hits album comes out tomorrow. Page 300 has their cover of "Helter Skelter." Download it, but first promise me that you won't kill anybody because of it.
- Speaking of covers, Hate Something Beautiful posted two Of Montreal covers, including their take on The Shins' "Know Your Onion!"
- An Aquarium Drunkard also has two mp3's today. The Hold Steady's "Chips Ahoy" and "Southtown Girls." Download them both.
- The Music Slut posted two Regina Spektor tracks today, one being "Fidelity." I'd tell you how much I love this song, but I don't want you to judge me.
- And finally, Rewriteable Content has a great mix including tracks by Radiohead, The Rapture, Sufjan, comedy by Demetri Martin and more. Get to work.
You Had Us, You Lost Us
Britney Britney Britney. What are you doing? What the hell do you think you're doing?
Two weeks ago we were eating out of the palm of your hand (note: it kind of tasted like Cheetos.) When you dropped by Letterman we thought "damn, she's looking good!" When you kicked that waste of space K-Fed to the curb we said "damn, she's doing good!" And when you stuck it to him with an ironclad pre-nup we yelled "Damn! You go girl!" in the sassiest voice we 're capable of using. You had us Britney, you had us. And now you've lost us.
What the hell are you doing with Paris Hilton? Seriously Britney, what the hell? You realize she's just a female Federline, don't you? She's talentless. She's annoying. She's a bad influence. If you stick around her, not only are we going to think less of you, but she's also destined to ruin your life in one way or another. She'll either give you an eating disorder, make you hang out with Brandon Davis or possibly even co-star in a homemade sex tape with you.
Actually… wait a second. We it all back. You two kids have fun.

ICYMI: The Greatest Game Ever Played
You already know how I feel about the practice of lining up outside of an electronics retailer like a bunch of brainless sheep to be the first person to get your hands on the Latest Video Game Console That's Not As Good As An Old-School Nintendo, so when I saw this video of a dude buying a brand new PS3, then taking his purchase to a Best Buy where said morons were lined up and waiting to buy one of their own, then proceeding to smash the shiny new video game unit with a sledgehammer, I must confess that I felt a proverbial "LOL" swelling up from deep within my cold black heart. Whether you're a gamer or not, this clip is still pretty priceless.

Helmi stream
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Helmi stream is a stellar stream of the Milky Way galaxy. It started as a dwarf galaxy, now absorbed by the Milky Way as a stream. It was discovered in 1999, is formed of old stars deficient in heavy elements and has a mass of 10 to 100 million solar masses. It was absorbed by the Milky Way some 6 to 9 billion years ago.[1]
Claimed planet[edit]
The Helmi stream was announced to the first discovered planet of extragalactic origin around the star HIP 13044.[1] Unfortunately re-analysis of the radial velocity data failed to confirm the discovery.[2]
