Bobcats plan to work out six players for No. 2 pick
May 31, 2012, 7:17 PM EDT
Charlotte has a tough choice ahead of it.
It's not a question of needs — you should always draft the best player available anyway, but in this case the Bobcats need everything. So charlotte is going to take a good look at the available players, team president Rod Higgins told the Charlotte Observer.
Higgins said the Bobcats would work out at least six players for the No. 2 spot. He also said they anticipate trade interest in the pick from other teams.
"Some other teams are going to call us about No. 2,'' Higgins said. "We're going to get some interest there until the pick is called'' on draft night.
The two most likely picks are the energetic and athletic small forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist out of Kentucky or the power forward Thomas Robinson out of Kansas, who could provide great play for them at both ends of the floor. But you can bet high-risk, high-reward big man Andre Drummond will get a look, as will Florida guard Bradley Beal (maybe the best shooter in the draft) and Ohio State power forward Jared Sullinger.
As I said before, I likely take Robinson or Kidd-Gilchrist, but I would take a long, hard look at Drummond because he could develop into a superstar if you believe he has the mental focus to do it. He could evolve the way Andrew Bynum did, but he also could be another Kwame Brown, and that has to scare Bobcats owner Michael Jordan.

Losing out on the first pick has set Charlotte back another 3 or 4 years. Devastating blow not being able to draft Anthony Davis.
- bdeviled11 - May 31, 2012 at 8:51 PM
And drafting Harrison Barnes at 2 will set them back 5 or 6 years.
- ss3walkman - May 31, 2012 at 8:09 PM
I'm not so sold on Anthony Davis. Could be in part due to his McDonald's unibrow.
- jagsfan11 - May 31, 2012 at 8:50 PM
Bradley Beal repping UF yeahhh budddayyyyy!!
- zacmonte - May 31, 2012 at 10:14 PM
In my opinion, the best bet at #2 is MKG and not to look back unless T-Rob surprinsingly measures out to be 6'10" which I doubt will happen. MKG has the athleticism, the drive, work ethic, talent, and he plays his heart out on the floor. Outside of Davis, I see him as the most likely prospect in this draft to develop into a superstar. At the moment I think T-Rob is a better player but MKG has much more upside without the risk of Andre Drummond.
But, with how deep this draft is, you might be better off trading back and acquiring more picks to bring in two quality players (And possibly still picking up Barnes later for ticket sales, that would be the bobcats thing to do).

If they scout right and draft smart, that #2 pick could be a blessing in disguise. For real!
- davidly - Jun 1, 2012 at 8:52 AM
They should take all six… when nobody's looking.
- klownboy - Jun 1, 2012 at 10:07 AM
Robinson wouldn't be a bad pick at number 2, though MKG is the 2nd rated player in the draft…
- royistheboy - Jun 1, 2012 at 1:51 PM
Really hoping the Bobcats take Robinson so my Cavs can get either Beal or MKG at #4 (rather than Barnes). Either that or the Cavs trade up.
- fanz928 - Jun 2, 2012 at 7:31 PM
They should get MGk

A former trainee nurse at Leeds General Infirmary said: "He went on to relate how they set the bodies - he kept saying 'they', so he, he couldn't have been on his own with this - how they set the bodies - that what happens when before you - well, rigor mortis sets in, you can move the body into different, sort of, stances or formations.
"He was saying that they used to put the bodies together, male and female, and he also said that they took photographs and also that he got involved in some of the photographs."
A former patient at Barnet General in London said that nurses in 1983 told her Savile, who was friends with the chief mortician, "liked to have sex with dead bodies".

Point Guard
Quinn Cook's biggest competition for best ACC point guard is Notre Dame's Eric Atkins. Atkins is new to the ACC, but is primed for a huge senior season. While Notre Dame may not be as good as Duke, Eric Atkins will have a bigger role for his team (similar to the Wiggins and Parker debate). Eric Atkins likely has the inside track at the first team all-ACC, but Cook will be the exact point guard Duke needs. That leads me to think Quinn Cook will be on the second team.
Shooting Guard
Unlike at point guard, there will be intense competition for all 3 ACC team spots. Rasheed Sulaimon has very worthy competition from Oliver Hanlan, Jerian Grant, and Joe Harris. Joe Harris was on the first team all-ACC last season and looks prime to make it again. Oliver Hanlan beat out Rasheed Sulaimon for ACC freshman of the year last season. Jerian Grant was on the all-Big East second team last season and looks ready for a big senior year. While all four are extremely talented Joe Harris looks like the best on both sides of the ball. Expect all four to be on all-ACC teams, but Joe Harris to establish himself as the best shooting guard and be on the first team.
Small Forward
Like shooting guard, the small forward spot is very competitive. Rodney Hood will have to deal with tough competition from Dez Wells, CJ Fair, and PJ Hairston. Neither Dez Wells or PJ Hairston made an all-ACC team, but look prime for bigger years this season. CJ Fair made the all-Big East second team last season. Dez Wells does not quite have the talent to stay with the other three players. PJ Hairston has the talent, but his offseason trouble and potential may hold him back. In the end, Fair and Hood will fight for the top spot, and I believe CJ Fair may have the advantage by the smallest bit.
Power Forward
While there are many talented power forwards in the ACC, the top two are Jabari Parker and James Michael McAdoo. They both have completely different styles, which makes them tough to compare. McAdoo looks prime for a breakout junior season but he is not Jabari Parker. Parker is just a freshman but he looks prime to be one of the best in the ACC. James McAdoo will give Parker a run, but Jabari Parker will emerge as the best power forward in the conference.
While there are not many great ACC centers, Amile Jefferson likely will not prove himself as the best. Duke is too talented on the wing for Amile to establish himself. Wake Forest's Devin Thomas and Virginia's Akil Mitchell have the inside track as the best ACC center. This is the one position Duke does not have a good chance at winning.
First Team All-ACC

Still quiet
Posted by jfay December 30th, 2009, 4:40 pm
I spoke with assistant GM Bob Miller today. It sounds like things remain quiet on the Reds front. Walt Jocketty is out of the country. Hes due back in a day or two.
The Reds havent spoken anymore to Jonny Gomes agents.
They want to explore the market, Miller said. Things are still kind of slow (as far as market).
The Reds budget is so limited as far as free agents that theyre likely to wait to see how far the market drops before they jump in.
A couple of other things:
Juan Francisco is hitting .302/.352/.566 with 11 home runs and 42 RBI after 46 games in the Winter Ball. Hes playing a good deal in left field. There was a stretch when he playeds eight of 12 games out there, Miller said.
Edinson Volquez is about to begin to throw. The reports are good, Miller said. Hes worked hard and got in great shape. That helps.

As we get nearer to the end of college football's regular season, recruiting stories abound—and most of them are of the "who will he sign with variety". Welcome Norcross running back Alvin Kamara to that sordid, unfinished, yet strangely addictive book of tales. For a while now, Kamara has listed the Georgia Bulldogs and the Alabama Crimson Tide as his top two teams. However, the Oregon Ducks have always been a team he's mentioned as a not so distant third. That said, it's not surprising to find that he's giving the Ducks some serious consideration with both Georgia and Alabama presumably loaded at tailback for the next two-to-three seasons (Georgia features both Keith Marshall and Todd Gurley, while Alabama has T.J. Yeldon and the commitments of both Derrick Henry and Tyren Jones for 2013). "I am working on a visit to Oregon," Kamara said. "If I get it all planned, then that will be next week. I just feel that the way they use their running backs fits my game. They flex out their backs in the slot. There is a lot of speed at Oregon, and I feel like I fit that dynamic — being fast, can run, can [...]

Recognized top 5% oDesk contractors. I have the skills and experience necessary to complete any of the following jobs: complex research, writing, editing, basic websites, business consulting (online marketing strategies for small businesses) or other similar projects. One of my specialties is helping people develop well-written informational content that brings organic and natural traffic to their sites. I provide writing, editing and formatting services for online website content. [Note - if you are trying to view my actual website from my profile, I am in the process of changing hosting providers so my site is temporarily unavailable. As a result, some of the links in my odesk profile many not be working. Just ask if you need to see more work samples and I will get them to you.] I am fortunate to have a gift with writing and truly enjoy it. Over my lifetime I have met many people with brilliant ideas and thoughts who struggle with getting them into writing in a way that effectively conveys the message. I have a passion for helping people take their ideas and putting words on paper so that the ideas can be shared with others. There is a great sense of satisfaction that I get when a client tells me "that's exactly what I wanted to say!" Although I have not been formally hired as a writer until recently, I have an extensive writing history. I am conscientious and thorough in all that I do, often going above and beyond employer expectations. I have an inner passion for knowledge and answers. If I don't know something, want new information or want to learn how to do something, I do whatever is necessary to find the answers. My preferred jobs are advanced Research and Writing projects that require someone with great attention to detail and an analytical approach to finding information, not just "collecting data." {Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the data collection process, but typically simple research jobs don't pay equivalent to my experience & expertise.} Outside of freelance work as a writer, I provide business consulting, web design and online marketing services for small businesses, "from one small business owner, to another." As an entrepreneur who has been through the struggles of learning how to succeed when resources were limited, I understand what it is like to build a small business from the ground up. My formal training is in Psychology and this background gives me a unique perspective on the world of marketing and behavior. I have been a work-at-home mother since 2002 and absolutely love the freedom that being self employed provides. Let me be upfront - if you are looking for someone to work at "outsourcer rates" or to provide any work that is unethical or "black hat," then I am not that person. But if you are looking for a person who will provide HIGH QUALITY and ORIGINAL work, completed by someone with both an attention to detail and a creative mind, then that's me. I stand by all my work and won't work on anything that I wouldn't be proud to put my name on. As a business consultant, it is my job to Research and Find Solutions for my clients, as well as find information relevant for their business/industry. As a web/internet consultant, with knowledge of how content and keywords affect search engine results, I have a full understanding that there is "much more to be found" beyond the first Google results pages. On the educational level, I have a Master's Degree "plus" in Counseling Psychology from a school that was extremely research oriented, preparing students for Doctoral Programs. Not only did the regular coursework require routine research and report writing, but the program included completion of a Master's Thesis. I also have an undergraduate minor in statistics. Prior to becoming a freelancer, I have over twenty years of experience working with children in social and school settings. My specialty was working with children with emotional and learning disabilities. As the Director of a Youth Shelter, I also have experience supervising and managing teams. In 2002, after 20 years in the corporate world, working full time "plus," I made the decisision to change focus. With these New Priorities I started down the path of being a "work from home mother" (WAHM) and home business owner. "Enjoy Life Enterprises" is the umbrella for all of my entrepreneurial and freelance endeavors. Because I am completely self-employed, I have flexibility in the hours that I can provide, based upon what is required. I am located in the United States (North Carolina) and can be reached by email or if you are US based, we can talk by phone. I have also set up a Skype account if you are outside of the US.
Business Consulting
United States - Last active: 6 days ago - Tests: 1 - Portfolio: 11
I create plans and models for entrepreneurs and startups. My documents help them pitch to investors, banks, and potential business partners. Many of my clients are founders, organizations and companies seeking to create business and marketing plans, business models, full pitch decks or online presentations. Among my past clients I have financial institutions, food distribution companies, entertainment start-ups, media websites and green energy companies, plus many nonprofit organizations. My best clients are the ones with new and disruptive ideas. In my process I ask many questions, do a lot of research, propose new ideas, explore diverse channel of distribution, provide a lot of graphics, create models using a canvas business model system, run numbers and create financial projections. At the end, I do everything I can to create useful and powerful documents for my clients. "OFF-LINE" I have my own business consulting firm working from New York City - www.glaction.com. I have an MPA from Cornell University (USA) and I speak English and Spanish. ----- MY PHILOSOPHY on writing business plan is simple: every business plan is unique and every client deserves a professional and timely service. I do not over promise, I do what I said I will do. Simple. Some business and marketing plans are designed to get a loan from a bank, others to get potential investors excited about a project. Most of the time is a tool to raise money, but all the time should be an instrument to guide your future. In my work I get inspiration from big angel and venture capitalist firms, such as the giant investor Sequoia Capital; that has invested in companies like Apple, Google, YouTube, PayPal, Instagram, Yahoo!, Atari, Kayak, Zappos, and LinkedIn. I always suggest my potential clients to read what they are asking from people that want to get funds from them: www.sequoiacap.com/ideas They are not asking for a 100-page business plan. They believe that the best founders are clear thinkers. ----- MY PROCESS is also simple. I start with your ideas and your initial data and work until you are completely satisfied. I want to invite you to see my process of writing business plans here: http://goo.gl/ugB0l1 Before you hire me I give you a very clear plan of what I will do for you, step by step, with a feasible timetable. Again, I do not over-promise, I do what I said I will do. By hours, this is a breakdown of my typical development process: 1) Business Consulting (2-6 hours) 2) Market (Research and Plan) (4 to 8 hours) 3) Financials (4 to 10 hours) - 3 to 5 years of Sales, Profit & Loss, Cash Flow and Balance Sheet forecasts. 4) Writing (8 to 16 hours) - following the format of California VC firm Sequoia Capital and adding charts, maps, graphics, etc., to clarify your business pitch. My tools are 1)Internet for research, 2) Skype for communication, 3) ASANA to organize my work, 4) Excel to plot all financial projections, 5) PowerPoint to design pitch decks, and 6) a few RedBulls to work overnight and on time. Everything will start with a Skype chat and we go from there. ----- TERMS I work around your budget. I know that startups are not cash cows. Because every plan is unique, I like to discuss final payment terms during the interview process. My original bid is a guide for the client, and is based, usually, on a week of work (about 40 hours). Depending on the nature, format and stage of your business project, my work could take about a week and in some cases several weeks. My hourly rate is $80, and usually will take me 20 to 40 hours of work to develop a comprehensive plan. If you hire me as a fixed rate contract, I operate on a 3-payment basis.

The fast and sensible Smart package manager
The package manager is one of the central components on any Linux system. If you have a system with unreliable package management – such as Suse Linux 10.1 – you may want to consider the Smart alternative.
The true test of a package manager is how the tool resolves dependencies. Smart is one of the best package managers around for navigating through dependency issues. The Smart package manager does not depend on any specific distribution, and it can handle more than ten repository formats. Smart comes with the smart command line tool, the Smart shell (smart -shell), and a graphical user interface (Figure 1), which you can launch by entering smart --gui. How Smart? The goal of the Smart project is to create "smart and portable algorithms for solving adequately the problem of managing software upgrade and installation." There is a reason why this description from the the Smart developers emphasizes the algorithms. Algorithms are an important focus of the Smart project --and an important reason why the Smart developers believe their tool is different. When it comes to dependencies, Smart does not just use the easiest and most obvious solution but actually weighs every possible option using a policy-based priority system. In some cases, the "best" solution may depend upon the goal. For instance, if you are performing an upgrade, Smart may not choose the most recent version of a package if an intermediate version provides a better result for the complete system. Smart algorithms also consider efficiency factors, choosing the combination of packages that leads to the fastest and most reliable installation.

Evansville man arrested after robbery
An Evansville man with a history of robbery admitted to attacking a woman and taking money from her at a convenience store Tuesday night.
Wayne K. Brewer, 46, faces preliminary charges of Robbery Causing Injury, a Class B Felony, and Battery Causing Injury, a Class A Misdemeanor.
The victim, Doris A. Cooper, told police Brewer came up to her as she was stepping into her car outside The Pantry, 325 S. Kentucky Ave. at about 6:45 p.m.
She said Brewer struck her in the head and demanded money as she tried to ward him off by jabbing him in the arms with her keys. But Brewer reached into Cooper's pocket and took $40 before fleeing north on foot, according to a probable cause affidavit.
Police then set up a perimeter around the area and were able to locate Brewer soon after the robbery. Officers first spotted him running across the Lloyd Expressway and then along Virginia Street before a K-9 unit tracked him to 900 E. Virginia St., where he was taken into custody.
Brewer then agreed to speak with police about the crime and told them he committed the robbery to finance a crack cocaine addiction, the affidavit said.
Brewer has twice before been convicted of robbery in Vanderburgh County and is currently on parole for a 2001 conviction, the affidavit said. The first conviction came in 1996.
Brewer was being held without bond pending his initial court appearance, which is scheduled for this morning.
Cooper suffered a cut on her left index finger and complained of pain in her head and lower back, but declined medical treatment at the scene.

CAPITOL HILL: The war over the Navy's Littoral Combat Ship is far from over. This morning, Senate Armed Services Committee chairman John McCain warned Navy leaders that their drive towards an upgraded LCS frigate may be repeating the mistakes that resulted in the original, much-criticized LCS design. "Without a clear capabilities-based assessment, it is not clear… Keep reading →
PENTAGON: The Navy 2016 budget yields to Congress's strong opposition to the service's previous efforts to cut the active fleet to save money. It funds nuclear refueling and overhaul of the aircraft carrier USS George Washington –that it had tried to retire — and modifies its plan to put 11 cruisers and an amphibious ship… Keep reading →
Last week, the US Navy made waves by announcing two bold ideas for the surface fleet: a new concept of warfighting called "distributed lethality" — "If it floats, it fights" — and a new name for the controversial Littoral Combat Ship — now called a "frigate." We asked Bryan Clark, a former special assistant to… Keep reading →
CRYSTAL CITY: What's in a frigate? That which we call a Littoral Combat Ship by any other name would smell as sweet — or stink as bad, according to LCS's many critics. While LCS is being redesigned and renamed, there's a lot of hard work and hard choices required to make the improvements real. Yesterday,… Keep reading →
ARLINGTON: In the race to replace the Navy's controversial Littoral Combat Ship, the leading contender seems to be…. a better Littoral Combat Ship. That's the clear implication of what we've been hearing from Navy leadership, and it's clear from press briefings today that LCS contractor Lockheed Martin feels pretty confident it can do the job.… Keep reading →
Ready, Set, Go! Navy Gives Industry 21 Days For LCS AlternativesBy Sydney J. Freedberg Jr.
PENTAGON: John D. Burrow is in a hurry – and if you think you know what the Navy needs as an alternative to its controversial Littoral Combat Ship, you will be too. Minutes ago, the Navy released a pair of Requests For Information (RFIs) on LCS alternatives – one RFI for concepts for the ship as… Keep reading →
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has told the Navy in no uncertain terms that he wants a second opinion on the controversial Littoral Combat Ship. Perhaps that's why the newly formed "Small Surface Combatant Task Force" won't be led by a sailor or even a Navy civilian. Instead, the "SSCTF" chairman will be Marine Corps Systems… Keep reading →
WASHINGTON: The LCS is dead, long live the LCS? The Navy's controversial Littoral Combat Ship program is in good shape despite a 38 percent cut in the number of vessels the Pentagon plans to buy, Navy Secretary Ray Mabus insisted this morning at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. And he may be right.… Keep reading →
CAPITOL HILL: Just when the Navy's surface fleet had started pulling itself out of a 10-year, $2 billion hole, budget dysfunction may kick it right back in.

EXCLUSIVE: Navy Still Thrashing Out LCS Tactics, Design, Top Admiral AcknowledgesBy Sydney J. Freedberg Jr.
PENTAGON: There are a lot of questions about the Navy's new Littoral Combat Ships, high-tech vessels that are smaller, faster, more flexible, and more vulnerable to damage than traditional frigates or destroyers.
In an exclusive interview with Breaking Defense, the Navy's top surface-warships expert frankly acknowledged that they're still working on the answers. Everything from concepts of operation to damage control to the ships' top speed is still potentially open to revision, Rear Adm. Thomas Rowden said Friday in his Pentagon office. That attitude is refreshing, exciting, and a bit unnerving when you consider that the Navy wants to buy 55 Littoral Combat Ships, requesting $1.8 billion for four in fiscal 2013 alone.Keep reading →

Top Tours & Activities in Tokyo
One of the most diverse and interesting cities in the world is Tokyo, Japan. Tourists have a nearly endless plethora of activities from which to choose, based on their interests. The following are some of the most popular tourist attractions in Tokyo: The Tokyo Tower, which stands tall at 1091 feet, is the second highest architectural structure in Japan. It is painted orange and white to comply with the regulations for air safety.
Taking a Sumida River cruise is also a necessity for any new Tokyo tourist. This cruise / tour will allow a visitor to see all the major sights of Tokyo in one relaxing river trip. It begins at the Seaside Top Observatory, goes through Asakusa, to SensÅ-ji, the oldest Japanese temple in existence. Shop for your souvenirs at the Nakamise Shopping Arcade.
No tour would be complete without a visit to the Imperial Palace, which serves as the main residence of the Emperor. The Meiji Shinto Shrine is a shrine dedicated to spirits that the Japanese consider deities – those of the Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken – and it offers some of the most relaxing trails of Tokyo. Though it was destroyed in the second world war, it was quickly rebuilt. And you can end your trip in Ginza, the main center of commerce in Tokyo, one of the centers for an authentic Japanese dinner and the hub of the city's nightlife.

Facebook And Mark Zuckerberg's Letter 0 comments
I was amused reading Henry Blodget's article on Business Insider stating that no one actually reads Facebook's IPO prospectus or Mark Zuckerberg's letter to shareholders. I read the IPO but I don't think many other investors did. Why? Because it wasn't necessary.
Everyone knows that Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) was way overvalued. Despite that many investors believed the stock would arise to levels not seen since the Dot.com boom, so investors could make a decent amount of profit. However, not all of them. The absence of many private investors was one of the reasons why Facebook's IPO was a complete failure.
Many institutional investors are now loaded with stocks which are not attractive at all. In the Netherlands retirement funds lost millions of dollars on Facebook. In that sense Henry is right, many Chief Investment Officers didn't read the prospectus and were lured to take part of the biggest internet IPO ever.
Wall Street's Facebook IPO hype machine did a great job, but investment bankers forgot to read page 73-76 of Mark Zuckerberg's letter.
Some highlights:
Facebook was not originally created to be a company. It was built to accomplish a social mission - to make the world more open and connected.
So making a profit doesn't seem so important!
There is a huge need and a huge opportunity to get everyone in the world connected, to give everyone a voice and to help transform society for the future. The scale of the technology and infrastructure that must be built is unprecedented, and we believe this is the most important problem we can focus on.
So costs will increase!
Even if our mission sounds big, it starts small - with the relationship between two people.
Indeed, a relationship. But not the relationship investors had hoped for!
We have already helped more than 800 million people map out more than 100 billion connections so far, and our goal is to help this rewiring accelerate.
Connecting doesn't necessarily mean making profit!
One result of making it easier to find better products is that businesses will be rewarded for building better products - ones that are personalized and designed around people. We have found that products that are "social by design" tend to be more engaging than their traditional counterparts, and we look forward to seeing more of the world's products move in this direction.
Let's see! Hopefully businesses don't run away.
Our developer platform has already enabled hundreds of thousands of businesses to build higher-quality and more social products. We have seen disruptive new approaches in industries like games, music and news, and we expect to see similar disruption in more industries by new approaches that are social by design.
Social by design, but what's in it for me as an investor!
A fantastic letter but not well read by many professionals.
Some background information
Facebook is the worldwide leader of "social media". Although not the 'first in place', Facebook quickly took market share from other competitors such as Myspace to became a gorilla in the Internet space in less than 10 years with currently near 1 billion active users worldwide.
The company was IPOed mid May with a market value of over $100 billion and with an absurd valuation of around 100x past 12 months earnings.
Fundamentals should start to take over and Facebook will need to prove to investors that it can be able to
One: keep the lead in the social media network over time and
Two: monetize its incredible active users base of nearly 1 billion individuals and companies to justify a high valuation level.
Final Note
Today's business model is based on a free subscription for users, the company capitalizes on selling advertisement for companies through its subscriptions base, and individuals can go to the companies Facebook page or just click on banner ads. Because Facebook has a significant amount of information (details) about individuals, the ads can be very sharp in terms of targeting.
Another part of the business, which represents about 17% of total sales today but hopefully will increase, comes from "online games'. Facebook subscribers can play through Facebook platform online games developed by third parties, such as Zynga (NASDAQ:ZNGA). As users buy features for these games through Facebook credits and Facebook will take a fee on these purchases, such as a broker, and will give away the other part for the game developer.
Facebook will need to develop other sources of revenues in the future, such as a premium subscriber offer in order to provide paying services for the communities (a larger photo and video space, special features…).
To justify a P/E above 35 for 2012, it needs growth: internal and external. I don't see it happening this year and suggest to wait buying shares until the shares dip around ten dollars.

YIELD: Makes about 90
For cookies:
Whisk first 6 ingredients in a medium bowl; set aside. Using an electric mixer at medium speed, beat butter in a medium bowl until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add both sugars and molasses; continue to beat until mixture is smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla; mix for 2 minutes. Reduce speed to low; add dry ingredients and mix to blend well.
Scrape dough from bowl and divide into thirds. Using your palms, roll each piece of dough into an 8" log. Wrap logs tightly in plastic or parchment paper and freeze for at least 3 hours. (For neater edges, remove logs from freezer after 1 hour and roll on counter.) DO AHEAD: Dough can be made up to 2 months ahead. Keep frozen.
Arrange racks in top and bottom thirds of oven; preheat to 375°F. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Whisk egg white in a small bowl to loosen; lightly brush all over 1 log. Sprinkle with (or roll in) sanding sugar. Using a long, slender knife, slice off a sliver of dough from each end of log to make ends flat. Cut log into 1/4"-thick rounds. Transfer to 1 baking sheet, spacing 1/2" apart; place in freezer while you cut the next log. (The cookies hold their shape better if you bake when dough is cold.) Repeat with remaining dough.
Bake 2 sheets of cookies, rotating the sheets from top to bottom and front to back after 6 minutes, until tops are golden brown and centers are almost firm, 11-13 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks and let cool. Repeat with third sheet of cookies. DO AHEAD: Cookies can be baked 2 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
For glaze:
Mix powdered sugar and 7 teaspoons cold water in a large mixing bowl (glaze will be very thick). Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon glaze onto each button (alternatively, fill a resealable plastic bag with glaze and cut a small hole in 1 corner; pipe glaze in an even circle around edges of cookies, then fill). Decorate with sprinkles, colored sugar, or dragées, if desired. Let stand on rack at room temperature for at least 30 minutes for glaze to set. DO AHEAD: Cookies can be made 5 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.

Pendant honors Hotshots lost in Yarnell Hill Fire
PRESCOTT, Ariz. -- Two Prescott sculptors and a foundry have teamed up to produce a pendant honoring the 19 Granite Mountain Hotshots who died June 30 while fighting the Yarnell Hill Fire.
Sculptor Natalie Krol said she was moved to create the pendant after learning that Prescott had lost what she called "the cream of the crop."
The oval-shaped bronze pendant displays 18 small stars and one large one and the words "Hot Shots."
Krol said the design symbolizes that all of the Hotshots were "very special."
Prescott sculptor Karl Kendall made the clay and wax model for the casting done at Jeff Dykeman Art Foundry.
According to The Daily Courier, 90 percent of the proceeds will go to Prescott Fire Fighters Charities to help the fallen Hotshots' families.

RIP 6.6 Rescue System Has New Drivers and a Forum
The Recovery Is Possible (RIP) Linux rescue system is available in its newest version 6.6. A related web forum enables discussion among developers and users.
The new RIP release incorporates a version of the GParted partition editor released only days ago. The Gnome application should speed up copying and moving partitions. Moreover, it also supports the Mac HFS+ file system.
RIP 6.6 includes the WLAN driver Ath9k for draft 802.11n chipsets from Atheros, as well as drivers for the ACX100 and ACX111 wireless chips from Texas Instruments.
Meanwhile, RIP developer Kent Robotti started a RIP Linux forum that includes tips on how to extend the distribution to further applications.
RIP is a Linux Live distribution based on Slackware, primarily used for data maintenance and recovery. It provides support for a variety of hardware and file systems, including the ext family, ReiserFS and Reiser4, UDF, HFS, HPFS and NTFS. It is bootable from CD or USB external drive. ISO images are available for download from the project homepage, including the mkusb.sh script for USB flash drive partition installations and a variant for PXE networks. Linux requires a minimum 256 MByte RAM and a Pentium CPU. The kernel is available in 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

Religious sect raided in Germany on abuse fearsBy DAVID RISING
The Associated Press | September 07,2013AP Photo
The village of Klosterzimmern near Deiningen, Germany, is one of the homes of the Twelve Tribes sect. Police say they have raided the Christian religious sect in Bavaria and taken 40 children from them on allegations that they were being physically abused.BERLIN Police raided a Christian sect in southern Germany, taking 40 children into foster care on suspicion they were physically abused and seizing sticks allegedly used to hit them, authorities said Friday.
Members of the so-called Twelve Tribes sect acknowledged that they believe in spanking their children, but denied wrongdoing.
In 1984, authorities raided the group in Vermont and removed 112 children on abuse allegations. A judge later ruled the raid illegal and returned the children to their parents.
Augsburg prosecutors said they had opened an official investigation into an undetermined number of the adult members of the sect on suspicion of causing serious bodily harm and mistreatment of children.
The suspicion is that they hit their children with sticks, for example, said spokesman Christian Engelsberger.
About 100 Bavarian police raided the sects premises on Thursday, confiscating evidence including the sticks alleged to have been used, Engelsberger said.
They also identified rooms where the abuse is alleged to have taken place, Engelsberger said.
Authorities say 28 of the children were removed from one of the sects locations near the town of Deinigen, and 12 others in the Woernitz area.
The sect said in a statement on its website that the children were aged 1½ to 17 and that members were told they would remain with foster parents at least until a court hearing next week. Where is the legal basis here? the statement said. People cannot be found guilty based on their association with a religious faith. ... There was no direct evidence against any individual provided.
Still, in a description of the U.S.-founded sects beliefs, the group said its members believe in spanking their children, though we know that some people consider this aspect of our life controversial.
We love our children and consider them precious and wonderful because we love them we do spank them... the group said. When they are disobedient or intentionally hurtful to others we spank them with a small reed-like rod, which only inflicts pain and not damage.
The sect, founded by a Tennessee high school teacher in the 1970s, today has about 2,000 to 3,000 members worldwide, according to its website.
They have previously had problems in Germany for violating laws on homeschooling their children.
The sects practices have run afoul of the law in the U.S. as well, including in 2000 in Connecticut where a couple belonging to the group pleaded guilty to third-degree assault and cruelty for disciplining their children with a 30-inch (76-centimeter) fiberglass rod.
The raids in Germany came after an undercover reporter for RTL television passed on evidence he had accumulated over months of work, the station reported.
Engelsberger said he could not comment on where the tip came from, but said initially an area family court had ordered the children removed after receiving evidence, then his office began a legal probe after the sticks and other evidence were found during the raids.MORE IN Wire NewsLOS ANGELES A former California real estate developer once honored as his citys citizen of the...

The Elk County Tax Collection Committee met Wednesday at the Francis S. Grandinetti Elementary School in Ridgway to further discuss measures involved in replacing Elk County's current earned income tax (EIT) collector following the firm's breach of contract.

The Wilcox American Legion baseball team will open the state tournament on Tuesday against Region 4 champion Ephrata out of Lancaster County.
The Wilcox-Ephrata matchup is the second of four games on Tuesday. The nightcap is between Region 3 champion Spring City (Chester County) and host Boyertown (Berks County). Those two matchups are on the same side of the bracket.

French Creek Valley will play Albion at 1 p.m. with the winner to play Wilcox at 4 p.m. for the championship. Wilcox also faced this situation in the Elk County League Tournament as the team lost to Fox Township but rebounded to win the following day in the league title game.

Assuming an NHL season begins at some stage this year the Rangers and the entire league will need to get back to work and get ready in double quick time. Camps will be abbreviated, preseason games likely minimal. Players might not be at 100% to begin the shortened season and depth could severely be tested. It's the combination of these troubling reasons why many clubs may look for external, short term help in positions of need and in the Rangers case they made need to add a defenseman with legitimate NHL ability. Enter a guy like Paul Ranger. Once a promising (albeit flawed) defenseman with the Tampa Bay Lightning, Ranger has begun a comeback with the Toronto Marlies after an extended break from hockey. And to begin with he's doing very well. Of course, the Rangers may well turn to Matt Gilroy whose own comeback – of a different kind – isn't going badly either. However, much has been made of Rangers impressive fitness upon his return and a +7 rating, 6 points in 12 games and impress...
