Deron Williams hit the jackpot in Las Vegas, and Blake Griffin signed on for a few more years in Los Angeles. Free agents in the NBA could finally sign contracts starting at 12:01 a.m. EDT Wednesday, and the Brooklyn Nets wasted no time getting their All-Star point guard to put pen to paper - well, iPad actually - on a new deal worth $98 million over five years. The Nets came to Williams at his hotel in Las Vegas, where he is training with the U.S. Olympic team. He posted a picture of himself signing the contract on his Twitter page. ''We are obviously thrilled that Deron will lead the Nets into our new home in Brooklyn,'' Nets general manager Billy King said in a statement. ''Deron is in my opinion the top point guard in the NBA. With his leadership and guidance on and off the court, the fans of Brooklyn should be proud.''

This ER doctor did not utilize proper protocol in the detection of a possible ruptured appendix. Sent my husband home. He ruptured later that night and had severe complications because a catscan was not ordered in the ER which would have meant the removal of the inflammed appendix in time.

Then they grumble. They gripe about all the bad news, or the slant of the coverage, or the lack of substance. And those of us who keep feeling like we're getting less and less from Kansas City's paper of record now have proof.
Two recent internal e-mails -- or "Z-mails," as editor Mark Zieman likes to call them -- reveal the desperate measures Star editors have been considering as Knight Ridder, the paper's parent company, strangles the newsroom.
On March 5, Zieman sent out a letter telling his staff about "a new version of the Monday Star." He explained that "we have been asked by Knight Ridder to dramatically reduce expenses for 2001. For the newsroom, that largely has meant a hiring freeze and significant cuts in newshole. The good news (such as it is) is that most of these cuts have already taken place, without vocal complaints from readers. The bad news is that more was demanded, and we are fresh out of surgical extractions that won't be visible to our customers."
You could sense Zieman's struggling to rationalize the plan he and his crew had devised. They would target Monday editions because Monday papers have the fewest readers, because Monday papers are "our weakest news product" since not much news happens on Sunday, and because "it's the day people return to work or school and are busy and want their information quickly" (as if the other weekday mornings are leisurely for people trying to get to their jobs on time). They would give Monday's editions a "week ahead" theme, combining the A section with the Metro section to save four pages. "That means we would lose one of our opinion pages, most of the existing Monday business presence, about half a page in metro news and another half page or more in national and world news, among other trims."
Zieman countered the bad news by claiming that editors had "added value to the Monday paper through new features, navigational tools and page designs." He hoped the members of a focus group, scheduled to meet that night, would sign off on the changes.
They didn't. While the selected readers were "fans of The Star" who embraced the new "week ahead" features, Zieman wrote in the next day's Z-mail, they "quickly recognized the cuts in newshole."
It's not surprising that readers would notice a four-page drop in content -- what is surprising is that anyone at The Star thought they could disguise it with "navigational tools and page designs." At any rate, the focus group's response killed the Monday redesign idea (though, Zieman tells the Pitch, the exercise wasn't futile; he says readers "like the look-ahead features, and we may go ahead and incorporate those into the paper").
On the issue of the budget squeeze, he informed his staff that "we will continue the difficult task of searching for ways to meet our budget obligations while keeping our readers as happy as possible." He said he welcomed employees' suggestions. But chances are Star workers are fresh out of ways to help -- they've already given up a lot. The hiring freeze has meant fewer people do more work, and even the little things are starting to add up.
Case in point: Like other big companies in town, The Star for years has paid half of employees' season tickets to cultural events at places such as the Missouri Repertory Theater, the Kansas City Ballet, the Symphony and the Lyric Opera. It was a small benefit, but one that spread lots of goodwill to employees and to arts organizations, which need all the help they can get. But over the past year, the paper dropped the season-ticket deal, informing employees that it would chip in only for single-performance tickets. Then it scrapped the benefit altogether.
"The Star decided to pull out of our 'employee share program' this year," says Barb Haviland, the Missouri Rep's marketing director. "They did it just within the last few weeks."
Kansas City Ballet box-office manager Brenda Crow says the paper "did about a thousand dollars a year with us total -- most of it was for The Nutcracker." That's not a lot of money. But, as Crow says, "the bad thing about it is that when you have a fifty-fifty program like that, it encourages people who might not go to the ballet to try it."
And it's the kind of thing that makes Star employees grumble. They're tired of being "nickle-and-dimed."
"Every newspaper is looking to save on expenses because the cost of newsprint has increased so much this past year," Zieman says. "Every paper is handling it in different ways. Some are cutting sections, some are cutting circulation, some are trimming features, and we're looking at all of our options." When pressed, he says it's not just the cost of newsprint that's driving such changes. "Advertising seems to be slipping; some people call it a recession, a lull, I don't know. But that's not specific to newspapers. You can read The Star and see where all kinds of companies are laying off people, the stock market's dropping, people are spending less, consumer confidence is going down. That clearly affects us in revenue."
We'd have more sympathy for the paper if it weren't for one thing: Knight Ridder just finished another great year. With 32 daily papers, it's the country's second-largest newspaper publisher, and in January, CEO and chairman Tony Ridder told financial reporters that "for the fifth year in a row, we are reporting record earnings per share. We are also reporting record operating income, record cash flow and record net free cash."
The Star's total advertising revenues were up 6.5 percent, making it one of the chain's strongest papers. "Our best large-market retail performance was Kansas City, [with retail ad revenues] up 5.9 percent," Ridder said. The chain's glowing performance "was accomplished amid the challenges of rising newsprint prices and a softening revenue growth environment -- which underscores, once again, the commitment of our management to tight cost discipline."
In other words, Knight Ridder's profit margins have come at the expense of shortchanged Kansas City newspaper readers. And Nutcracker fans.

HDFC Bank - Account Closure | Misplaced documents by HDFC Representative
1 Review
Dalton Pereira on Mar 21, 2012
Dear Sir,
Few months back i transfered my account to another HDFC Branch. The representative who initiated the account transfer said that my old account will be closed automatically after filling this closure from and the money will be transfered to the new HDFC branch account and i do not have to worry about anything. Once the money got transfered, he called me and told me that my old acc has been closed.
Last month when I visited my old branch for some other work, I got to know that my account is not yet closed and it is running on 0 balance. I told the bank helpdesk representative that i have closed this account months back. She said it has not been closed. And now she is requesting me to pay service charges that is crossing more than Rs. 3,000/-.
I tried calling the Representative who Transfered my account to the new branch, but he does not answer.
The bank Helpdesk representative said that he has left the job months back and may be he misplaced the closure form.
Now is this my fault ? Why should i pay extra service charges to close the account if an HDFC representative had misplaced my closure documents. Please do something about this.
Dalton Pereira.

The 3rd or 4th week of September is the best time of year to watch Aspen's colorful aspens become colorful in Aspen.
Today on StandUP!
This is the last live broadcast from the 2015 Aspen Ideas Festival, but tomorrow we will be airing a "Best of Fest" highlight some of the many great guests we had this week. Tune in while you drive/grill/eat/sleep.
First up today was Shadi Hamid, Fellow for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institution, whose most recent book is "Temptations of Power: Islamists and Illiberal Democracy in a New Middle East." Shadi and Pete took a tour of Middle East politics, with long layovers in Syria and Iran.
In hour two, Pete had a chance to meet David Frum face-to-face. Though the former George W. Bush speechwriter and current Senior Writer at The Atlantic, the two have never been in the same room together. Frum and Pete went back and forth on myriad issues, and Pete even tried to get David to try, or at least smell, one of Colorado's newly legal products. No dice. Here, Frum talks Donald Trump:
Then, we said hello to a fellow New Yorker attending #AspenIdeas, Professor of Business Ethics at NYU's Stern School of Business, Jonathan Haidt. Known for his TED talks and his bestselling book "The Righteous Mind," Pete and Jonathan talked about America's political divide and whether Wall Streets business ethics are as bonkers as they seem, or if our perspective is just skewed.
At the top of hour three, we welcomed Martin Walsh, Mayor of Boston, Massachusetts. Some of my favorite people are mayors, and true to form, Mayor Walsh and Pete had a great conversation. Topics ranged from Boston's seemingly endless well of sports-based pride, environmentalism and sustainability, and how America's recent focus on race relations is being received and discussed:
Out last guest of the day, and the week in Aspen, was Heather McGhee, President of Demos, a public policy organization and think tank. Heather actually shined quite a bit of light on the role a group like Demos plays in politics and how sometimes the best way to approach and issue or pundit is in terms of "Inside the Beltway" and "Outside the Beltway." Hint: One is more reasonable and prone to common sense, the other is a straight up agenda pusher.
Wow. That's it. Game over. Have fun on Independence Day. Let's meet back here Monday.
Now, if you'll excuse me I have to figure out if those were firecrackers or gunshots.
Miss the show? Catch it here. Listen to some of our favorite interviews here

Brock Lesnar winning
There are talks coming out of WWE right now that if Brock Lesnar were to sign a new contract to remain with the company, then he would be rewarded with a victory over Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania. He would still be allowed to work the limited schedule that he has been on while continuing to carry the heavyweight championship. Management would then put the IC and US belt on Daniel Bryan and John Cena respectively so they can headline live events.

What is the difference between px, em and ex? And when you define font-size in CSS, do you use px, pt or em?
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#length-units describes those and the other length units available in CSS
As a rule of thumb, use percentages on screen and pt for print.
CSS Length Units:
Points are standard typographical measurements that have been used by printers and typesetters for decades and by word-processing programs for many years. Traditionally, there are 72 points to an inch (points were defined before widespread use of the metric system). Therefore, the capital letters of text set to 12 points should be one-sixth of an inch tall. For example, p {font-size: 18pt;} is equivalent to p {font-size: 0.25in;}.
Picas are another typographical term. A pica is equivalent to 12 points, which means there are 6 picas to an inch. As just shown, the capital letters of text set to 1 pica should be one-sixth of an inch tall. For example, p {font-size: 1.5pc;} would set text to the same size as the example declarations found in the definition of points.
These units are really useful only if the browser knows all the details of the monitor on which your page is displayed, the printer you're using, or whatever other user agent might apply. On a web browser, display is affected by the size of the monitor and the resolution to which the monitor is setand there isn't much that you, as the author, can do about these factors. absolute units are much more useful in defining style sheets for printed documents, where measuring things in terms of inches, points, and picas is common. As you've seen, attempting to use absolute measurements in web design is perilous at best.
em: one "em" is defined to be the value of font-size for a given font. If the font-size of an element is 14 pixels, then for that element, 1em is equal to 14 pixels.
ex: refers to the height of a lowercase x in the font being used. Therefore, if you have two paragraphs in which the text is 24 points in size, but each paragraph uses a different font, then the value of ex could be different for each paragraph. This is because different fonts have different heights for x
px: tiny boxes of color in a monitor are pixels. In general, if you declare something like font-size: 18px, a web browser will almost certainly use actual pixels on your monitor after all, they're already there but with other display devices, like printers, the user agent will have to rescale pixel lengths to something more sensible. In other words, the printing code has to figure out how many dots there are in a pixel, and to do so, it may use the 96ppi reference pixel.
Because of this potential for rescaling, pixels are defined as a relative unit of measurement, even though, in web design, they behave much like absolute units.
em: The "em" is a scalable unit that is used in web document media. An em is equal to the current font-size, for instance, if the font-size of the document is 12pt, 1em is equal to 12pt.
px: Pixels are fixed-size units that are used in screen media (i.e. to be read on the computer screen). One pixel is equal to one dot on the computer screen (the smallest division of your screen's resolution).
pt: Points are traditionally used in print media (anything that is to be printed on paper, etc.). One point is equal to 1/72 of an inch. Points are much like pixels, in that they are fixed-size units and cannot scale in size.

Martial arts film comes alive for Chinese taekwondo champion
Publication Date : 10-08-2012
Child movie star blossomed into world and Olympic taekwondo champion
It wasn't Wu Jingyu's role in the film "Taekwondo" that made her famous - rather, it was her real-life Olympic performance that made her a hero.
The Chinese Olympic and world champion again proved she's the unbeatable No. 1 in the women's 49-kilogram by defeating Spaniard Brigitte Yague Enrigue to win her second Olympic gold recently.
"The taekwondo mat is my stage," she said. "It's the best place to release and show who I am. I'm totally released now after years of hard training."
Wu is the first Chinese woman to win gold in the 49-kilogram class at both the Olympic and Asian Games. She won at the 2006 Doha Asian Games and the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
"I give this gold to all the taekwondo athletes and my supporters in China," she said.
Wu struggled with injury and a lack of motivation after winning in Beijing in 2008.
But she overcame these hindrances to win all but one of her registered fights this year and in 2011.
"In 2008 I was still young and emotional," she said.
"The past four years have been quite hard for me, because I'd already won a world championship and an Olympic gold medal. And I was also going through some hardship."
In the 2002 film Taekwondo, the then 15-year-old played a young taekwondo fan who dreams of becoming a champion. Little did she know that would become the storyline of her actual life.
Back then, she proved formidable in some junior competitions but was looked down upon because she was short and slim.
She began taekwondo training at age 12 - a late start compared with other elite Chinese athletes.
She almost gave up when she tried to enter the national team because many people believed that being tall and having long legs is crucial to taekwondo. She was only 1.4 metres tall then.
But her coach, Wang Zhijie, insisted she persist, and she made the national team.
Wang revealed the secret to Wu's success, after he jumped on the taekwondo mat to celebrate her London victory - tai chi.
"I'm proud of see my coach celebrate in such a special way," Wu said.
"We want to tell the world we use the essence of Chinese wushu [martial arts] to discipline in daily training."
Wang agreed.
"That's what I wanted to do on an Olympic stage," Wang said.
"Her training included a lot of Chinese wushu. Celebrating Chinese martial arts is the best way to celebrate this victory."

It shouldn't be hard to convert native Google chrome apps to a Windows 8 app because Windows 8 supports HTML5/Javascript apps natively. If a developer already has a chrome app, they are in for a treat because they can get their app to easily port to Windows 8 and get in the Windows Store.
Personally, however, I see web apps as being the future. Nothing really can beat the open web in a Utopian society, can it. But we are not there yet. Web apps need to mature more before it can take on Native apps. But let's give credit where it's due. Internet Explorer team has really pushed it by allowing web apps to tap into hardware, such as GPU, to make the experience "fast and fluid". No browsers have done this before IE9, and since then, we are seeing a move to make web apps as good as native app, so in the future, compatibility and platform shouldn't matter.
This is why Microsoft is no longer prioritizing on its propitiatory development language or making its software exclusive to only its platform. Microsoft sees that in the near future, the platform you are on won't matter in terms of compatibility with apps. That's why Microsoft's apps are now more and more cross platform. Microsoft now is rather pushing it's services and user experience. Pretty soon, unlike in the early 2000s, people won't choose a platform based on compatibility, but they will choose a platform based on the ecosystem and user experience.
There you go, that's my two cents.

On the pinning you can pin websites but I just mean basically instead of opening it like a Metro Chrome Window open it in a full screen frameless window and also have a proper metro style icon possibly with live tile animation to go with that. I wouldn't imagine that would be too hard to do.
Posted 08 October 2012 - 06:38
What do you mean No? I know it's not possible for an end user to do (unless there is a way to make a shortcut with command line options to do this) But I'm sure that it would be simple for the Google Chrome developers to do it.

No as in that the limitations my MS make this impossible. Have a nice day.

Its not very hard to send files via Bluetooth, though I would recommend against it if the file is particularly large, as Bluetooth connections aren't particularly fast.
In Windows XP, just right click a file -> Send -> via Bluetooth. Of course, other bluetooth device needs to be paired. Here's a decent write up on sending files via Bluetooth.

The entire fiasco raises so many questions. Why weren't American bricklayers hired? Why wasn't an American designer hired and why didn't the 159 blocks of granite come from America? If government allowed the King memorial to come to this, it's not surprising our debt is so out of control.
In response to the cries of outrage from a local bricklayers' union, Harry E. Johnson, Sr. President & CEO of the Martin Luther King Memorial Foundation wrote in a letter "we should not exclude anyone from working on this project simply because of their religious beliefs, social background or country of origin." What about country first? Where was Mr. Johnson's loyalty to King's legacy or US workers, particularly at a time when persistent unemployment in this country is approaching the highest level since the Great Depression.
One side of the King Memorial is engraved with a line from his 1963 I Have a Dream speech: "Out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope." But for a man who had "a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice" and achieved that dream, Martin Luther King deserved an American made memorial that bleeds red, white and blue through and trough. Yet despite this slight King will ever rise from the granite, as a symbol of American greatness, inspiration and freedom that rings in darkness and in light.

Aaron Rodgers on charity to stop childhood cancer
Updated: January 15, 2012, 8:00 PM ETBy Anna McDonald
On Dec. 12, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers sat at a table after practice and signed 100 items for kids with cancer. He stopped for a minute, looked up and said, "The reality is, these kids help me."
On Friday, tickets will go on sale for "The Third Annual Evening with Aaron Rodgers" in Milwaukee, Wisc. The evening, benefiting the MACC (Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer), will feature Rodgers along with ESPN NFL analyst Trent Dilfer and ESPN broadcaster Jeremy Schaap.

While the article itself is interesting, I find the comments at the end equally so. I think the point of this article is that teachers should be thinking in terms of how to teach the students to ask questions: how to ask, when to ask, how to use the replies, and how to think about questioning. I think it will take diligent efforts after years of teaching to "THE" right answer.

The very first question - "What will you flip? (A lesson, a unit/chapter, a subject, or a class)" - definitely sets the context. You can dip your toe in or take the plunge. This post is well worth the time to read and then you can check out the related links.

Ivon Prefontaine's curator insight, June 19, 2014 11:42 AM
This is an interesting infograhic. Does constructivism really mean learners are in control of their learning? This almost suggests learning can be planned in ways that are certain which does not take into consideration environmental interacting and human relating. John Dewey suggested learning is about interacting with the environment in unexpected ways that reconstruct learner and the environment. It is about reconstructing rather than simply reorganizing.

Sharp pullbacks in silver are still getting bought. Weak hands are panicking (or selling to raise cash), while the strong hands with a longer time horizon are stepping in at this price level.
It is also encouraging to see that $USD made a new high today, rising noticeably above its level on June 28, but SLV and GLD are still above their June 28 lows. In fact, both SLV and GLD finished the day green! Over a long time horizon, the uptrend in gold/silver becomes more and more independent from the moves in $USD. We have a competitive currency devaluation underway, since the debt/GDP ratios of US and of Europe keeps growing, and both of them taking turns now in printing money.Jul 24, 2012. 04:51 PM | 1 Like |Link to Comment
The volume has almost completely died out in SLV in the month of July. That's how a long-term bear market in some sector usually ends -- when people just give up on that sector and are not even interested in looking at it. That's what supposedly happened to stocks in 1982 -- "stock market" became a dirty word and no one even wanted to look at any stocks...
This time around, however, SLV is still holding its support at 26! A more frequent situation, however, is when the line connecting the lows is sloping down, but not as much as the line connecting the tops. This kind of a downward sloping descending wedge is typical for the end of a long-term decline, and spectacular rallies usually occur following such declining wedges when they reach the apex and the volatility almost completely dies out...Jul 24, 2012. 02:33 AM | 1 Like |Link to Comment
Bruce Krasting made an interesting analysis today of what the Fed can do during the August meeting:
His conclusion is that a cut in the deposit rate from a 1/4% to a 1/8% is the most likely outcome of the meeting, and while it seems like a small change, it would provide a significant boost for commodities, he argues. That could just be the event that lights the fire under gold and silver, if they don't take off until then.
Incidentally, the fact that both gold and silver are up today despite a large jump in $USD shows the internal strength accumulated in these sectors.Jul 20, 2012. 07:16 PM | 3 Likes |Link to Comment
The Commitment of Traders (COT) reports that came out today showed that the net long speculative positions in silver and gold futures are still smaller than they were during the low in December 2011! The longer such pessimism persists in this sector, the larger the inevitable rally is going to be.

JB, you made some good points about opposition to QE. Bernanke had indeed mentioned that the benefits of QEs are diminishing, but he also said that the Congress should address the fiscal cliff ASAP so as to avoid a recession in 2013. So the next stimulus measure might very well come from the government (fiscal stimulus) rather than the Fed (monetary stimulus).

Here is what Ray Dalio, a guru from Bridgewater Associates, wrote on gold in his Q2 letter:
"Gold is also being supported by secularly increasing demand. Prior to the financial crisis, gold was substantially under-owned relative to financial assets, and despite stepped-up purchases of gold by central banks and sovereign wealth funds, the shift toward greater holdings of the precious metal is still in its early stages…speculative gold positions had been significantly reduced [by the end of the quarter] and as a result are less likely to be a bearish short-term driver going forward."
Here is another titbit:
"Soros Fund Management LLC, founded by the 81-year-old billionaire, more than tripled its investment in the SPDR Gold Trust in the first quarter to 319,550 shares now valued at $50.2 million, an SEC filing May 15 showed. It held as few as 42,800 shares last year."
The "strong hands" are accumulating gold prior to its next leg up. I think it is wise to be in their company...Jul 19, 2012. 06:51 PM | 2 Likes |Link to Comment
Whitehawk, usually the best time to get in for a long-term trade is when a sector seems dead, when the sentiment is most negative, but the price is showing a clear bottoming pattern (which is the case now in the precious metals sector).

By CLAIRE BESSETTE
Day Staff Writer
Norwich — Public Works Director Barry Ellison showed the City Council Monday a budget summary page highlighting the only three departments that would be cut in the proposed 2013-14 budget – city debt service, the council's own budget and the Public Works budget.
Ellison presented his budget request to the council Monday during a workshop session, summarizing how his department has refurbished discarded police vehicles for reuse, trades and borrows equipment with Norwich Public Utilities and increasingly takes on projects in house rather than hiring contractors. He then asked that $170,000 be added to his budget.
That money would fund a new engineering technician to work on $11 million in major bridge and road work projects under way and two full-year laborer positions. The budget includes only one new laborer position to start half-way through the budget year.
The added staff also would allow the department to improve social media communication with Twitter and Facebook alerts on road problems or construction detours.
The Public Works budget this year totals $9,778,000, and Ellison requested $10,021,000. But City Manager Alan Bergren's proposed budget called for reducing the Public Works budget to $9,721,000, lower than this year's total. Ellison said at the same time, the department has more property to maintain, including the new Norwich Transportation Center and the former Greeneville and Buckingham school properties and a growing number of tax foreclosed blighted properties.
In addition, the department is increasingly called on to support local events. He said crews clean the Howard T. Brown Memorial Park prior to festivals and concerts, erect signs and barriers to close the boat launch and helps with events such as walkathons, street festivals and parades.
Peter Davis, director of planning and development, told the council that his combined planning, zoning and building departments has lost 30 percent of its staffing over the past three years in budget cuts.
While the economy has slowed activity, Davis said the number of building permits has remained steady at about 1,700 per year. Two major projects – renovations to the Norwichtown Commons and the Marina at American Wharf – have boosted permit revenues. But Davis said he is pleased that the number of permits for homeowners and smaller businesses making improvements to existing properties has remained stable. He estimated permit fee revenue at $500,000.
Davis did not ask for added staffing for his department, but supported the Public Works Department request. Davis echoed Ellison's expressed concern about the growing blight problem in the city due to the poor economy. The city's blight enforcement officer, Edward Martin, has worked with Public Works on securing abandoned properties and cutting grass.
"If the trend continues, and you all see it driving around the city, we're not going to be able to effectively handle it if (Ellison) doesn't have the staff," Davis told the City Council. "The visual condition of the city needs to be a priority."
