Patterson likes to take credit for the Trail Blazers "rebuild," but anyone who was there knows better. During a four-year period beginning in 2003, Patterson fostered an unhealthy culture inside the organization, he fired more than 100 employees, he threw what was then the Rose Garden Arena into bankruptcy, cracked down on anyone who crossed him, and plotted from his president's office to also become the team's general manager (2006-07).
Steve Patterson Rumors
Amin Elhassan: Steve Patterson was a jerk in Portland over a decade ago, and folks wont forget that. This is why you treat media w/ respect
Remember the time Patterson fined Darius Miles $150,000 and publicly scolded the small forward for berating his coach in a film session? I do. So does then-coach Maurice Cheeks. Because that act of support for Cheeks was followed by a back-room deal between Patterson and Miles in which the small forward would receive every penny of the fine back, plus interest. When I informed Cheeks of the arrangement, he said, "I might as well pack my bags."
The Trail Blazers hired Chris McGowan as president on Monday. He replaces Larry Miller, who replaced Steve Patterson, who replaced Bob Whitsitt. Also, McGowan will work alongside general manager Neil Olshey, who replaced Rich Cho, who replaced Kevin Pritchard, who replaced Patterson, who replaced John Nash, who replaced Whitsitt. Point is, it hasn't felt easy to explain around here since Whitsitt left, has it? The hope here isn't that McGowan will walk on water, or help a basketball team that feels headed to another NBA Draft Lottery find a miracle way out of this mess. Rather, the hope is that McGowan can work closely enough with Olshey to end the convoluted decade of madness and again make the basketball, not the business (or some gobbled combination) feel like it's driving the bus again.
National Basketball Association arena operators would miss out on more than $1 billion in ticket revenue if a labor shutdown wipes out the 2011-12 season, probably leaving their buildings dark those nights. "Most all the dates would go unfilled," former Portland Trail Blazers President Steve Patterson wrote in an e-mail.
The team's new general manager, Rich Cho, said he values medical history and the advice provided by medical personnel when acquiring players Meanwhile, Miller insists that the team has never ignored medical information and will continue to make it a part of their player evaluations. "Talent, medical and character all need to be on an equal plane," Miller said. "Sometimes you can get all three, but sometimes you only get two of the three. Sometimes the talent doesn't always pan out. Sometimes the character doesn't pan out. And sometimes the medical doesn't pan out. I think there will always be risk involved."
Patterson was fired three months before the 2007 draft and Miller was hired eight days before the draft and admits that he was not intimately involved in the draft process. However, Patterson said that as far back as March the Blazers were gathering information on draft picks and that there were concerns about Oden's body. Oden had hip surgery in sixth grade, and one of his legs is shorter than the other, causing a natural limp. While in high school, he also had ligament damage to his right wrist, which was later operated on at Ohio State University. "I did have concerns with a guy who was hurt as much as Oden," Patterson said, noting that he was in favor of drafting Durant.
Steve Patterson, who served as Blazers president from June of 2003 through March of 2007 as well as handling general manager duties from 2006-2007, said the Blazers' medical staff was consistently spot-on in their evaluations. He called Blazers doctors Don Roberts and Tom Reis "among the best doctors in the NBA." "They had an unique talent to look at a player – particularly Dr. Roberts when it applied to knees – and with great precision predict what would happen to that player in the future," Patterson said. Patterson said the recommendations of Roberts and Reis were not always followed. "There were points in time when there were others within the organization who weighed in on decisions who didn't have the same perspective as the doctors," Patterson said. "And those decisions came back to haunt the organization."

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House threatened Wednesday to veto House Speaker John Boehner's backup plan for averting the "fiscal cliff," saying it was time for Republicans to stop political posturing and continue trying to reach a compromise deficit-cutting package.
Boehner, R-Ohio, proposed his so-called Plan B on Tuesday, a measure that would block tax increases from being triggered Jan. 1 on everyone but those whose incomes exceed $1 million. The White House said Boehner's package did not raise enough revenue from the country's top earners, would leave too big a deficit-reduction burden on the middle class and omitted tax breaks used by families and businesses.
"The president urges the Republican leadership to work with us to resolve remaining differences and find a reasonable solution to this situation today instead of engaging in political exercises that increase the possibility that taxes go up on every American," White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer said in a written statement.
Boehner is planning a House vote on his proposal on Thursday, hoping it would raise pressure on President Barack Obama to make concessions as both sides continue reaching for a bipartisan deal on averting the "fiscal cliff." Without an agreement among lawmakers, broad tax increases on nearly all taxpayers and budget-wide spending cuts will be triggered in early January.
Boehner spokesman Brendan Buck said White House opposition to the GOP backup plan "is growing more bizarre and irrational by the day." He said Republicans prefer a deficit-cutting plan that is balanced between tax increases and spending cuts, but Obama has yet to offer such a proposal.
"If Democrats disapprove of this bill, then there is a simple solution: amend it in the Senate and send it back to the House," Buck said in a written statement.
Senior administration officials said there have been no talks advancing the negotiations on a big fiscal cliff deal since Monday, after Boehner called Obama to say he was going to take a Plan B to the House. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity, citing the sensitivity of the negotiations.
In the absence of a deal with Obama, Boehner's Plan B is attracting support from Republicans eager to cast a vote preventing tax increases on as many people as possible.
Obama's latest offer — focusing tax boosts on incomes above $400,000 — would affect nearly 1.1 million taxpayers. Limiting the tax boosts to income exceeding $1 million would target just 237,000 households, according to the latest Internal Revenue Service figures for 2009.
Boehner's backup plan could serve other purposes besides letting GOP supporters vote to protect more than 99 percent of taxpayers from paying higher levies.
Allowing a vote on Plan B might increase GOP support for a negotiated compromise with Obama. Some Republicans might feel more comfortable supporting an accord with Obama — which would likely include more tax increases than they want — after being given a chance to vote for Boehner's narrower tax increase on millionaires because it would let them show voters that they preferred a smaller tax boost.
Even so, House GOP leaders are laboring to line up enough support for the backup measure in the face of conservatives reluctant to boost anyone's taxes. Even if it could survive in the House, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has declared it dead in his chamber and now the White House has promised to veto it should it somehow reach Obama's desk.
The backup plan by Boehner would do nothing to head off deep cuts in defense and domestic programs scheduled to begin taking effect in January. And it contains none of the spending reductions that both Obama and Boehner have proposed in their efforts to strike a compromise.

text: The Mega Man II wiki last edited by DeF on 08/07/14 07:44AM View full history OverviewMega Man II (known in Japan as Rockman World 2, and not to be confused with Mega Man 2) is a side-scrolling action platformer developed and published by Capcom for the Game Boy on February 1991.It is the second portable entry of the original Mega Man series and the sequel to Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge. Like the predecessor, Mega Man II recycles many elements (including bosses, levels, and enemies) from two consecutive titles in the main franchise (this case being Mega Man 2 and Mega Man 3). Mega Man's dog, Rush, makes his appearance in a similar fashion to his use in Mega Man 3.Set in the year 20XX, the game takes place sometime after humanoid robot hero Mega Man defeated Dr. Wily and his revived Robot Masters (and also sometime after Mega Man 3). More revived Robot Masters from his past adventures have been detected in a secret underground corridor, and it's up to Mega Man (and his dog, Rush) to scrap them and find the whereabouts of Dr. Wily (who has stolen an experimental "Time Skinner" time travel device to bring back a mysterious weapon from 37 years into the future).Rush's AbilitiesRush Jet: Rush can transform into a hover board to guide Mega Man around in the air.Rush Coil: A jumping pad that allows Mega Man to jump really high.Rush Marine: Rush can transform into a submarine to help Mega an get through a underwater area in one of the later levels in the game.BossesName: Air Man | Weapon: Air ShooterName: Crash Man | Weapon: Crash BombName: Metal Man | Weapon: Metal BladeName: Wood Man | Weapon: Leaf SheldName: Magnet Man | Weapon: Magnet MissileName: Hard Man | Weapon: Hard KnuckleName: Needle Man | Weapon: Needle CanonName: Quint | Weapon: Sakugarine

I've had this page for a very long time and I would like to call attention to it once again. For those who overlook it, our Resources page is one big links page to lots of useful sites from manga publishers, distributors, international anime and manga universities, art supplies sites, other tutorial sites, art communities, anime and manga news sites, and other interesting resources you should check out.
There's three things I would like to point out. First, there's been some very cool additions to the Schools, Colleges, and Universities section for those interested in taking classes abroad. Most schools are from Japan (big surprise there, huh?) and one pretty neat one is being held by Nihon Kogakuin who is offering a one month intensive summer course to learn animation. The fee is 220,000 Yen (around $2,500 USD) and includes the price for the course, accommodations, and teaching materials. The fee does not include air fare, any other transportation within Japan during your stay, or meals. The class is limited to 12 on a first-come-first-served basis so check it out now if you're interested.
I had to take out the Animation Tutorials links since most of them have closed their doors or just never had any materials to view. On the bright side, I would like to do some animation tutorials here at the site so look forward to those in the future.
Last but not least, publishers are constantly changing their submission practices so I did quite a bit of switching around for our list of publishers. If a publisher's submission's page gives you an error message, don't loose heart. Go to the main page and see if the submission's page was just moved to another location or maybe check out their Contact's and FAQs and see if they're still accepting.
All in all, be sure to check this page out for some interesting sites. If you know of a site that you think I should list as well, drop me a line and let me know!

The Smoking Jacket
Most vices extend beyond the physical act required to perform them. The enjoyment of an indulgent bourbon, scotch, or rum, for example, is about more than just the handcrafted spirit; it's about the glass into which that spirit is poured and the quality of the ice that is added to keep it properly chilled. The same can be said for the enjoyment of fine tobaccos. An artisan pipe is augmented by an elegant tobacco blend, while the enjoyment of a fine tobacco upgrades the use of an already alluring pipe. Of course, when it comes to smoking, there's a fashion element that can come into play. And while they're far from common, bespoke smoking jackets still exist and can inject a dose of luxury into an otherwise lazy day of lounging . . . even when smoking isn't involved.
"To some extent, I think it's a misnomer," says Jake Mueser, a cofounder of the custom-tailoring firm Doyle Mueser, about the term smoking jacket. "In this day and age, it's tougher and tougher to smoke cigars indoors . . . for most married men, at least. And not everybody smokes, so this is more about lounging. People might wear this to have a good scotch or bourbon and to relax in at home."
Mueser's "this" is his own take on the smoking jacket, which he says is finished in Italy and costs anywhere from $800 to $1,200. Plenty of options are available, though Mueser's preferred version is double breasted, boasts roped, smooth satin lapels, and is finished in either a dark burgundy or a midnight blue. "It has an elegant and iconic smoking-jacket look to it," he says. "People want to wear it in a library of leather-bound books, [while reclining] on a Chesterfield couch. It has an old-world feel to it."
That being said, Mueser acknowledges that he's tailored some smoking jackets in bolder colors and with more outré details, such as skull-and-crossbones-printed silk lining. "When you buy bespoke clothing, you do it partially because you want to present yourself in a certain way," he says, "but there are some details and aspects of the fit that are there just for you. It's taking pride in these things and enjoying the process of it. It's something that you do more for yourself than anyone else."

If you're an SEO, it's easy to discount the role of PPC in overall online marketing strategy.

Brandi Glanville is one of the best things to happen to reality television, so it's no surprise that Bravo execs would want to add the outspoken single mother of two to its roster of Beverly Hills Housewives. According to a source, "Producers love Brandi. She's gorgeous, she's funny, outspoken and outrageous, she makes for great TV." Didn't we just say that?
Brandi has officially been offered a full time role on Bravo's hit show. She will also be included in the promotional cast photos and she'll have her own introductory segment at the beginning of the credits!
"She's been really popular on the show and producers decided it was definitely worth giving her more air time."

Heineken Cup Pool 1: Castres v Ospreys match preview
Last Updated: 06/12/13 2:43pm
Ospreys back-row Justin Tipuric returns from Wales duty
Castres and Ospreys have both made major changes to their teams ahead of their Heineken Cup clash at Stade Pierre Antoine on Friday.
Castres boss David Darricarrere has rung the changes to his starting XV with two changes in the back with Marcel Garvey replacing Romain Martial on the right wing and Paul Bonnefond taking over at inside centre in place of Remi Lamerat.
Up front, Pedrie Wannenburg is the only survivor in the back row, shifting from the flank to number eight where he takes over from Antonie Claassen. This means that Piula Faasalele and Ibrahim Diarra will be the starting flankers for this encounter.
In the second row Christophe Samson replaces Rodrigo Capo Ortega and packs down alongside Richie Gray. There's also a new front row with hooker Marc-Antoine Rallier and props Karena Wihongi and Mihaita Lazar starting at the expense of Brice Mach, Anton Peikrishvili and Saimone Taumoepeau.
France international Yannick Forestier is also included amongst the replacements as well as Seremaia Bai, who was on duty for Fiji last weekend against the Barbarians.
Meanwhile, Ospreys coach Steve Tandy has made seven changes to his run-on side for this encounter, welcoming back several Wales internationals who were on duty against Australia last weekend.
The back-line has three changes to the side that lost at home to Glasgow last weekend. On the wing, Aisea Natoga takes over from Hanno Dirksen while Dan Biggar and Rhys Webb replace Sam Davies and Tito Tebaldi as the starting halfbacks.
In the forwards, Ryan Jones and Justin Tipuric are at number eight and openside flank respectively at the expense of Morgan Allen and Sam Lewis, who are both included on the replacements bench.
Alun Wyn Jones is back in the second row and as captain which means there is no place in the matchday squad for Lloyd Peers while Ryan Bevington starts at loosehead ahead of Duncan Jones, who is also riding pine.
The match will be significant for Aisea Natoga, who makes his Heineken Cup debut and Tyler Ardron who starts his first match in the tournament.
The teams:
Castres: Dulin, Garvey, Cabannes (c), Bonnefond, Grosso, Kirkpatrick, Kockott; Lazar, Rallier, Wihongi, Samson, Gray, Diarra, Faasalele, Wannenburg.
Replacements: Coetzee, Forestier, Peikrishvili, Ortega, Caballero, Tomas, Bai, Palis,
Ospreys: Fussell, Natoga, Isaacs, John, Hassler, Biggar, Webb; Bevington, Baldwin, Jarvis, AW Jones (c), King, Ardron, Tipuric, R Jones.
Replacements: Hibbard, Jones, Suter, Allen, Lewis, Habberfield, Morgan, Grabham.

Mitch Berger enjoyed a successful NFL career as a special teams standout, spending a majority of his 15-year career as a member of the Minnesota Vikings, serving as not only the punter but handling kickoff duties as well. He enjoyed a semblance of notoriety — insofar as a special teams player can achieve notoriety — for his penchant for routinely chowing down on Snickers bars after returning to the sidelines once he performed his punting or kicking duties. Despite only being a lowly punter-kicker hybrid, Berger did nevertheless profit from the comparably high salaries and earning capacity enjoyed by any longtime NFL player as they relate to the general population of wage-earners. Berger evidently is enjoying success in his post-NFL life — or hasn't squandered the money he made like so many others — as along with the fact that he is single, he also a member of the appropriate income bracket to be deemed worthy of appearing on the Bravo reality show, Millionaire Matchmakers. Luckily, this show isn't among the reality series my better half chooses to watch — although I feel the need to point out that I have had far more than my fill of Say Yes to the Dress and Love It Or List It (sheesh) — so I am personally and fortunately unfamiliar with the program, but the name of the show pretty much explains the gist of what occurs on a typical episode. On Tuesday evening, Mitch Berger's appearance on the show will air at 10:00 pm CST. A preview of his chance as a millionaire to have a millionaire matchmaker match him up with a millionaire-seeker follows. Fascinating, although one would suspect simply being a former NFL player would give Berger the "leg-up" on securing the affections of an attractive and compatible gold digger, er mate. And isn't it nice to see that John Salley, the former NBA star and one-time panelist on The Best Damn Sports Show Period, continues to score regular work on the reality show circuit? Good for him. [H/T RandBall] TweetThe post Former NFL punter Mitch Berger appearing on Bravo's 'Millionaire Matchmaker' (video) appeared first on Sportress of Blogitude.

NBC's GOLDEN GLOBE Coverage Delivers Highest Ratings in Six Years
From 8-11 p.m., NBC's coverage of "The 70th AnnuAl Golden Globe Awards" aired live in all time zones and currently available fast affiliate-based ratings are not time zone-adjusted and understate the telecast's ratings. In metered-market households, which are time zone-adjusted, the "Golden Globes" averaged a 13.1 rating, 20 share, up 12 percent versus last year's 11.7/18.
It's the top "Golden Globes" rating in metered-market households in six years (since Monday, Jan. 15, 2007, 16.0/23).
In the 25 markets with Local People Meters, the "Golden Globes" jumped 23 percent versus last year in adults 18-49, for the top Local People Meter rating in the five years NBC has been tracking the category. While these major-market LPM ratings are likely higher than where the national 18-49 ratings will come in later today, the currently available 18-49 result in the Local People Meter markets is a 7.6 rating, 19 share versus last year's 6.2/16 in the LPM markets.
From 7-8 p.m., the "Golden Globes Red Carpet Special 2013" aired live in all time zones and the fast affiliate-based ratings due from Nielsen at 11 a.m. ET / 8 a.m. PT are subject to significant revision. In metered-market households, the "Golden Globes Red Carpet Special 2013" averaged a 4.8 rating, 7 share, up 26 percent versus its 3.8/6 of one year ago. It's the top result in metered-market households for the "Red Carpet Special" in four years (since Sunday, Jan. 11, 2009, 4.9/8).
NOTE: All national ratings are "live plus same day" from Nielsen Media Research unless otherwise indicated.

The University of Cincinnati is investigating allegations that four current football players and four recruits engaged in sex acts with a former UC soccer player during a recruiting visit.
The allegations were brought to the attention of UC president Nancy Zimpher, Daniel Cummins, director of judicial affairs; and Barbara Rinto, director of the UC Womens Center in a letter that was dated Feb. 14 and signed, A Concerned Athletic Department Employee.
UC spokesman Greg Hand acknowledged today that the university is conducting an investigation.
Daniel did get the letter and all I can say is that were looking into it at this point, Hand said.
According to the letter, the sex acts took place during a party at which alcohol was served, that the sex acts were videotaped and that the tapes have been circulated around UC dormitories.
Rinto said she first saw the letter on Monday.
What I would say to you is I got it and we are investigating the allegations in the letter, Rinto said. You want to pull it apart and find out whats going on. Daniel and I and several others are proceeding to investigate the allegations in the letter Its a priority.
If the allegations are true, Hand said, the student-athletes involved would have violated the university code of conduct and possibly regulations involving residence halls as well as athletic department policies regarding on-campus recruiting visits.
At this point, there are no allegations of criminal conduct.
We just dont know what we have, Hand said. The facts are that there are anonymous allegations and were trying to find answers.

There are always risks to surgery, and one of the downsides of accumulation procedures is a best time in the operating allowance and a potentially added complicated recovery if there are problems with either surgery.
Its looks very sore and painful , im looking into getting mine done and was getting scared,but when i saw your pictures it put me at ease yours looks great already would loive to see your results now and was it worth it you must look amazing now.

Re: Mirjana's spring 2013 campaign
Woof! Barring any potential last-minute draw revisions, the four qualifiers for the main event have immediate difficulties to overcome: seeds # 2 (Arvidsson), 3 (Lisicki), and 5 (Hradecka) are all slated to play qualifiers. Tsurenko is the fourth main draw entrant slated to meet a qually-babe.
Clearly hoping Mirjana qualifies AND draws Tsurenko. Then again, thinking of Hradecka, has Mirjana EVER lost to a player who hits two-handed off both wings? Trivia question of the day.
In any case, looking at the main draw is looking WAY too far ahead right now.

I've been crushing on dark rooms lately. Alas, painting one of my rooms a luscious, dark hue would be impractical. Since I live in a rental, it would take an enormous amount of time & energy to do it and then paint it back to the original barfy beige.
So I kept my fantasies of a dark, seductive room in my head, where 978,345 other thoughts reside. Until my old man started talking about making over his bathroom. I gently pitched the idea of a dark room to him and let it simmer (which may be the best way EVER to do something you want). A few weeks later, he mentioned painting the room a deep hue and I did a happy dance in my head. My glee probably showed on my face as well; I do wear my heart on my sleeve.
And so it was. I started perusing the interwebs immediately for inspiration and items to use. I even let him help a little, allowing him to pick the vanity. Continue reading to see the decor I've picked out and how it will all play together.

Public Testimony Before 9/11 Panel
Published: March 23, 2004
(Page 12 of 69)
ALBRIGHT: Well, I think he understood that this was a serious issue. And I only know what I've read in terms of Mr. Berger's conversations with Dr. Rice, but I believe that Secretary Powell understood the dangers that were inherent.
ROEMER: Let me move on to a very complicated relationship that the United States has with Saudi Arabia. I want to ask, very bluntly and very frankly, your opinion with regard to their cooperation with the United States prior to 9/11. We were able to get the Saudis to cooperate on issues such as having Ambassador Turkey go to yell at Mullah Omar in Afghanistan, but we could not get them to access Al Qaida's CFO. What kind of relationship was this? And did you personally press the Saudis hard in these kinds of instances when we needed access to high-level people like Madoni Al Tayid (ph)?
ALBRIGHT: I think, as you pointed out, our relationship with Saudi Arabia is a very complicated one and the Saudi record is a mixed one, frankly. I think that they were helpful on a number of issues. I talked to Crown Prince Abdullah, as well as Foreign Minister Saud, about a number of issues, obviously including bin Laden and Al Qaida. We also spent a lot of time on Iraq, and we spent a lot of time in terms of issues to do around the Middle East peace process. They always did say that they would press and push on the bin Laden/Al Qaida front but, frankly, it's hard to say how effective it was at what times.
ROEMER: Are you convinced they were pushing?
ALBRIGHT: Well, I was convinced when they told me they were pushing, but the bottom line is that, in effect, as you look at the record, there were questions about some of the financial aspects. And I do think that there is a mixed record. One of the things about the Saudis is that they often do more things in private than is evident publicly, but I would say the record was a mixed one. I would say we pushed as hard as we could.
ROEMER: Let me ask you, Madam Secretary, in your book, you say, and I quote, Sadly I was not surprised that we were attacked, or even shocked that the airplane hijacking was involved, unquote. You were not surprised by that September 11th event? Did you have intelligence or briefings indicating that hijackings were possible on September 11th? Why weren't you surprised? And did it include not being shocked that planes were used as missiles and weapons, or that it was Al Qaida?
ALBRIGHT: A number of responses to that, Congressman. I think that we were operating within an atmosphere where we were watching all kinds of potential attacks, and, in fact, foiled a number of them in the years that we were in office. I, kind of, call them the dogs that didn't bite or bark, because people didn't hear about them. So, I think that we were always on the lookout, which is why I said I wasn't surprised, because we knew that there were a variety of attacks possible and we foiled some. In various briefings, we were told that there were all kinds of ways to do things: car bombs or suitcases or bio or chemical. And among the various parts of what we were briefed, there would be sometimes a mention of an airplane. But basically, we were looking at all kinds of potential ways that there could be attacks. And so the sadness of this was that we were always on the lookout for some terrible thing, and we were foiling many, many of the potential attacks.
ROEMER: Madam Secretary, thank you very much. I've been slipped a note that my time has expired and I want to stick right to that so that other commissioners can get in. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
KEAN: Thank you, Congressman. Secretary Lehman?
LEHMAN: Madam Secretary, welcome.
I would like to follow up on many of the same subjects here. One of the constant refrains we've had in the over a thousand interviews that we've done and through the documents that we have been studying, is that there was considerable dysfunction in the intelligence community, particularly with regard to sharing of information. A lot of people did not know about information that was in the government that was not shared, stovepiped. And many people were not playing with a full deck. So I'd like to ask your own view... (LAUGHTER) ... some even with intelligence -- about starting with your entry as secretary of state. You'd been at the U.N. You were part of the inner circle, the NSC, the Cabinet. What was the picture that you had when you took over the reins as secretary of state as to the nature of the threat -- the terrorist threat?
ALBRIGHT: When I came in as secretary, which was February 1997, there was no question that we knew about a variety of threats. I had, at the U.N., been involved with some of the issues to do with Sudan, where we were very concerned about the web of terrorist camps and support, et cetera, that were present in Sudan. If you remember, the Sudanese were implicated in an assassination attempt on President Mubarak, and it was as a result of that that we instituted or put in sanctions against Sudan. And so I clearly was aware of issues and was briefed. And also briefed in terms of some of the investigations to do with the World Trade Center. So one knew that there were various terrorist threats that we were dealing with, but on, as I pointed out in my remarks, kind of, a whole new level of problems. And I did see, I have to say, something that you alluded to, which was a lack of communication already between the CIA and the FBI in terms of transmitting information to each other. And so what we tried to do was to bring them closer together, with some difficulty. I think some to do with the culture of both those agencies, and something that I recommend finally that needs to be fixed.
ALBRIGHT: So I do think that there were issues in that regard. But on the whole, I think there was a lot of intelligence available and the question is how it was read.

Dafydd Hewitt, Rhys Williams and Benoit Bourrust also start, with Dan Fish, Harry Robinson , Gareth Davies, Rory Watts-Jones, Robin Copeland, Andi Kyriacou and Thomas Davies making way.
Edinburgh have made four changes to their line-up for Friday's clash.
Scotland props Allan Jacobsen and Geoff Cross will replace John Yapp and WP Nel, while Roddy Grant comes in for the rested Ross Rennie on the openside flank.
Centre John Houston is the only change to the back division, with summer signing Ben Atiga ruled out after aggravating a hip injury against Munster.
On the bench, Fiji captain Netani Talei returns after a hamstring strain, while Sep Visser comes in for Houston.

Cardiff Blues director of rugby Phil Davies
"I've watched Edinburgh and they are a very committed side who like to play an expansive style of rugby and are very competitive throughout all areas of the game. They come off the back of a successful season last year which saw them reach the semi-final of the Heineken Cup. Therefore their confidence will be high.
"They have some outstanding players in their ranks with the likes of Visser, Denton and Laidlaw and of course they have recruited ex Blues players Richie Rees and John Yapp.
"We expect a pretty dogged performance off them but also an expansive style which we ourselves are endeavouring to produce."
Edinburgh head coach Michael Bradley
"This match presents a big challenge for us as Cardiff will be making a big play of being back at the Arms Park. The players and fans will be very excited, and possibly a bit anxious, to get a home win at the old ground."

A compelling case is being built for marine businesses to attend Marine13 International Conference and Exhibition in Sydney according to the Boating Industries Alliance of Australia (BIAA) Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Marina Industries Association (MIA) Darren Vaux.
John Winning - Appliances online to speak at Marine13
'The growing list of world class presenters who will be sharing their strategies for business success is making attendance at Marine13 a 'must do' for marine businesses wanting to keep ahead of their competitors,' said Mr Vaux.
Mr Vaux said John Winning, CEO of Appliances Online, was the latest identity to join the speakers list. 'John has a vast amount of boating and business experience,' Mr Vaux said.
He will share his intimate knowledge on how he established an online business and built it up from the ground to become arguably one of Australia's most successful online retailers.
'John's presentation will focus on the importance of leading edge technology and customer service providing valuable insight for marine businesses weighing up their commitment to online marketing and their customer service strategies.'
Business investment in boat shows will be the focus of another Marine13 session for the boating business stream that will be led by internationally renowned UK-based speaker Andrew Williams.
Andrew will share his in-depth knowledge and research across boat shows and other live events to demonstrate where even the best exhibitors can gain incremental results as well as offer several solutions to help exhibitors engage with visitors, sell more and increase their return on investment at shows.
He will also be a member of the panel discussing experiential marketing. Andrew was the MD of UK's National Boat Shows where his key focus was on delivering a major turnaround in the fortunes of the principal UK show, the London Boat Show. Andrew has also recently worked for UK's Princess Yachts and prior to his boat show work was in senior marketing/customer service roles with MGM, Disney and Nintendo.

With the decline in residential property values, some people are renting out their houses rather than selling because they cannot sell for what they owe. They figure the market is bound to improve, and they can hold on by renting until the market rebounds and avoid taking a hit.
This may or may not be the best decision. Being a landlord involves much more than it appears.
Start off by deciding if you are cut out to be a landlord. Being a landlord is taking on a part-time job. Are you willing to give up some of your time to take care of repairs, interview tenants, collect rent, do the bookkeeping and so on?
Being a landlord requires cash reserves to cover the cost to carry the property when you have a vacancy, or the tenant does not pay the rent, or to pay for unanticipated maintenance. Do you have the money or borrowing ability to do this?
Can you in a polite and friendly way tell a tenant who is behind in rent and has just told you all their life problems that he still has to pay the rent? And if he does not, evict him?
Can you sleep at night with the added responsibility and risk?
You can hire property managers, but at a cost. While a property manager can get you one step away from direct management, you will pay a management fee, generally about 10 percent of the rent. If you are an absentee landlord living somewhere else, you don't have much of a choice.
Next, you need to run the numbers. Is renting out your house financially feasible? Start by researching the market to find out what you could get for rent? You need to go out and look at houses for rent.
Then with a cold eye that does not take into consideration all the hard work you've put into your house, what you paid for it, or how much you like it, estimate a realistic rental amount per month. Multiply that by 12 to get the annual rent you schedule. Next deduct about 5 percent to allow for vacancies to get the actual rent you plan to collect.
Now deduct expenses. If the tenant pays utilities, then you pay taxes, insurance and maintenance. Maintenance is tough to figure and depends on the age and condition of the house. Deduct any costs for property management. You need to include accounting costs for figuring your taxes and possibly legal expenses.
You may discover the house will rent with a negative cash flow, and you will have to provide some of your own money to cover all the costs. If so, you can compare this figure with how far below breakeven a sale would be. With this information, you can decide if you are better off to sell and take the hit now.
Contact a tax expert to find out how the tax laws apply to your specific situation. The laws vary depending on how long you lived in the house before renting and how long you rent it before selling and so forth.
To be a landlord you need to know the law for renting real estate. For Alaska property, read the Alaska Uniform Residential Landlord & Tenant Act (search under that name). This describes the legal rights and responsibilities for both landlords and tenants, such things as what you can do if the rent is not paid, what you can ask when interviewing tenants, how you handle security deposits and more.
Get a good interview form and procedure for screening tenants. Don't trust your gut on whether you want a prospective tenant. Know what factors are legal to consider when evaluating tenants.
Have a good rental agreement. Don't rely on handshakes or verbal agreements. Enforce the agreement and live up to your responsibilities. Be friendly with the tenant but remember, the tenant is your customer, not your friend.
Maintain good bookkeeping records. This means opening separate bank accounts for rentals; keep track of all income and expenses with receipts. You are going to need these for taxes and good management.
Periodically inspect the property to ensure that the tenant is taking good care of it and not violating the terms of the rental agreement. Maintain the property. That means putting money into the property to keep it in good condition.
There is lots of information on the web that can help. For this column I looked at a number of sites and found MSN Real Estate (realestate.msn.com/) and Investopedia.com to be particularly helpful.
Chris Stephens, CCIM, is a local associate broker specializing in commercial and investment real estate. His column appears every month in the Daily News.

In Ireland, families huddled together and died by the thousands, killed by typhus and starvation. In the agriculturally rich province of Yunnan, China, some parents sold children for a mouthful of rice. In the delta of the Bay of Bengal, cholera killed without warning and then traveled the globe for decades. At Monticello in the United States, Thomas Jefferson wondered how he would ever escape his burden of debt as frosty summer mornings killed his crops.
This piece first ran in Printers Row Journal, delivered to Printers Row members with the Sunday Chicago Tribune and by digital edition via email. Click here to learn about joining Printers Row.
That there was something desperately amiss with the weather in the summer of 1816 was apparent to the literary party summering near Geneva, Switzerland. It was Geneva's coldest summer since record keeping began, its gloom interrupted only by violent storms. Mary Shelley created Frankenstein under its doleful influence, and its bleak face appears in several poems by Lord Byron, including "Darkness," inspired by a day in June when daylight fled.
I had a dream, which was not all a dream.
The bright sun was extinguish'd, and the stars
Did wander darkling in the eternal space,
Rayless, and pathless, and the icy earth
Swung blind and blackening in the moonless air …
In "Tambora: The Eruption That Changed the World," Gillen D'Arcy Wood weaves a story that Shelley and Byron could not have told, because they could not have known it. Behind the killing weather and the noonday dark was the largest volcanic eruption in recorded history. Mount Tambora, on the Indonesian island of Sumbawa, is one of a necklace of volcanoes studding the seismically active "Ring of Fire," which extends from the tip of South America, up the western coast of two continents, across the Bering Strait from Alaska, and then back south through Japan, Indonesia and New Zealand.
The account of Tambora's 1815 eruption is global climate change in an eyedropper. This single event changed global temperatures, tampered with the ocean circulation patterns that drive weather, and created conditions favorable to epidemics that took decades to resolve. It upended economies and uprooted millions. It is an object lesson of what today's atmospheric carbon buildup may yield.
Wood, a professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, doesn't shy from the parallels between what we face today and Tambora's disruption, but the book is no polemic. Our climate, instead, serves as a backdrop. The warning is clear: The climate aftermath of Tambora lasted only three years, the disease and desperation it birthed stretched out far longer; there is no sign that we'll get off so easily or so quickly. His telling of this single climate incident gives body to all the abstraction in today's statistics about atmospheric carbon, and brings any warnings down to human scale: the crowds of beggars in France, the food riots in Germany, New England schoolchildren caught barefoot in a June snowstorm.
The disaster is immediate and brutal on Sumbawa. Nearly 200 years ago, at around 7 p.m. on April 10, 1815, three columns of fire roared up from Tambora's twin peaks in a blast heard hundreds of miles away. Torrents of hot wet ash fell like rain, followed by a hail of pumice stone. Hot molten rivers, some 16 feet high, flowed from its twin peaks, eventually extending over a 348-mile area. Hurricane-force winds uprooted trees, forests and villages turned to ash, and finally the volcano's conic shell imploded and Tambora sank, nearly a mile of its height gone, leaving a 4-mile-wide caldera, or crater. Two days of darkness settled over the entire region as the ash cloud extended some 373 miles high.
Tambora's ultimately global reach is testament to its size and eruptive force, Wood explains. Volcanic material must penetrate the stratosphere to have such an impact. Tambora's ejecta punctured it by more than 25 miles and then spread more than 600,000 square miles, "an aerosol umbrella six times the size of Mount Pinatubo's 1991 cloud," Wood writes.
The heavier material quickly fell back to earth with the rain, but water vapor, sulfur molecules, fluorine gas and the finest ash particles underwent chemical changes that led to a 100-megaton sulfate aerosol layer.
And here's where the real trouble begins. In 18 months, this layer passed over both poles, leaving a signature read today in polar ice cores. As this "global veil" encircles the planet, it bounces solar radiation back into space while allowing the earth's heat to escape. The results are depressed temperatures around the world — lower by as much as 5-6 degrees Fahrenheit in some regions, although barely changing others. While much of Europe and the Eastern United States suffered through drastic climate impact, neither Russia nor the United States west of the Appalachian Mountains were affected.
Wood makes compelling use of literature as a stand-in for the voiceless throngs crushed in this disaster. Along with Byron and Mary Shelley — constant companions in this narrative of events — there is Irish writer William Carleton, poet John Keats, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and briefly Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who called the summer of 1816 "this end of the world weather."
These voices are essential, Wood explains. "In the aftermath of a mega-disaster such as Tambora, the paucity of victim narratives itself tells us something both of the scale of the cataclysm and who bore the brunt of it: the poor and illiterate peasant millions of the early nineteenth-century world."
But nowhere is the poet's voice more affecting than in the story of Tambora's devastating march through the once rich, temperate agricultural province of Yunnan in southwest China. The poet is Li Yuyang, and unlike the poets of England, he had no shield against the disaster's effects; he was crushed by them. Li Yuyang had been a scholar, hoping to make his way in the Confucian meritocracy, when his family's bankruptcy forced him to return home and take to the land.
His poetry has not before appeared in English. It combines stark observation of the collapse around him with wrenching personal details. In the poem "A Sigh for Autumn Rain," he writes of a downpour so steady that homes are destroyed.

This is a different article than what I usually write but I thought it was necessary to write about since fans are already starting to do this.
It happens every year...but when a team starts to lose games..some fans blame JUST the goalie for the losses and not the defense or the rest of the team. Well I am here to say that its not JUST the goalies fault. I know they are the last line of defense but they have a bunch of other players that are supposed to help them defend the net, hence their name..DEFENSEMEN. They are supposed to help them defend the net and without them the goalie is basically "hung out to dry".
So what Im saying is that losses can not be put JUST on the goalie...it is the whole team that contributes to the loss and I wish people (not all but alot) would stop blaming just the goalie.
Responses to this article are encouraged. Id like to see what others think.

According to a report from ESPN New York, Tim Tebow informed the Jets that he was no longer going to be a part of their wildcat package now that they have made the decision to turn to Greg McElroy as their starting quarterback. The Jets lost again on Sunday and while McElroy wasn't exactly great, he was sacked a staggering 11 times in the game. Tebow was replaced by wide receiver Jeremy Kerley in the package since he actually played quarterback in high school. The Jets downplayed the situation following the game, but ESPN New York's sources informed them that Tebow told the Jets specifically that he didn't want to be used "situationally." Clearly the relationship between the Jets organization and Tebow has been strained to the point where you have to wonder whether or not it's even worth it to have him on their roster. The Jets are reportedly prepared to trade or release him in the coming weeks, but it's hard to imagine him netting them any amount of value at this point in time. The Jacksonville Jaguars are reportedly very interested in acquiring Tebow, but they would be wise wait for him to be released and claim him off of waivers instead of including draft picks or a player in trade. We'll have more regarding the topic in the near future. The post Tim Tebow Removes Himself From Jets' Wildcat Package appeared first on NFL Trade Rumors.
The Jets are the biggest joke in the NFL...no doubt about it. And only now Tebow decides to take a stand!? they used and embarrassed this guy from day one. Their head coach is a Clown, period! If this team brings ryan back next season they are absolutely managed worst than any team in the NFL.

Woman keeps busy as bee for medicine
Being president of the Texas Medical Association Alliance is a job for the entire Hunsaker family.
Local dentist and newly inducted president, Keely Hunsaker, gets her five children involved, whether it be handing out brochures or stuffing envelopes.
One of their least favorite tasks, Hunsaker said, is helping with the "Bee Wise, Immunize" program.
"We have a huge bee costume that goes with it," she said. "One of (my children) has to be the bee and another has to be the bee keeper."
Hunsaker took office as president of the Texas Medical Association Alliance May 5. The alliance is comprised mainly of spouses of physicians in the Texas Medical Association.
Her husband, a local ophthalmologist, is a member of the association, which boasts more than 41,000 members from across the state.
"We (the alliance) work in conjunction with (the Texas Medical Association) to help carry out some of their community service and advocacy projects," she said.
It has been 18 years since a president has come out of Corpus Christi. Barbara Lewis was the most recent, taking office in 1988, the year Hunsaker became active in the alliance.
A seven-member nominating committee chose Hunsaker in fall 2004, according to Loretto Koepsel, executive director of the Texas Medical Association Alliance in Austin.
Susan Todd of Fort Worth was president in 2002-03 and served on the nominating committee that chose Hunsaker.
"She has wonderful leadership skills," Todd said. "She's always very enthusiastic and energetic."
Todd said Hunsaker will be very busy during the next year, serving as spokeswoman for the alliance, evaluating health care projects for the alliance to get involved in, and most importantly serving as ambassador to all the county-level units of the alliance.
During her one-year term, Hunsaker said she plans to travel the state promoting the immunization program.
Last year, the alliance helped immunize about 36,000 children throughout Texas. She hopes to increase that number this year, one bee appearance at a time.
About Keely Hunsaker
- A dentist.
- Mother of five ranging in age from 6 to 17 years old.
- Active in the Texas Medical Association Alliance since 1988, the year she moved to Corpus Christi.
- Served as the alliance's Nueces County president before moving on to the state level in 2000.
- Served on the long-range planning committee and as vice president of community health and well-being at the state level before becoming president this year.

LAWRENCE WILSOn
Ohio State Senior
40: 4.83 (Campus)
PROS: Shows decent first step and motor. Will chase in pursuit. Has experience lining up inside and outside.
CONS: Lacks the quickness to beat blocker and to be a factor on the edge. Gets pushed back at the point of attack and struggles to get off blocks. Lacks any real pass rush moves.
OVERVIEW: Wilson was expected to develop into a top pass rusher for the Buckeyes, but never did because he was limited quite a bit by injuries. He broke his leg in 2007, missing that year. And then missed the second half of the following year after tearing his ACL, which limited him this past year. He started only 1 game as a senior, but finished with career high 23 tackles. For his career, he totaled 6 sacks, 10.5 tackles for loss, and 2 interceptions.
NFL FORECAST: Wilson isn't going to impact as a pass rusher, and just doesn't get off blocks well enough to think he can make plays vs. the run. What he needs to do is get bigger and stronger, probably getting up in the 280-290 pound range. He plays DE and DT in Ohio State's hybrid 3-4 scheme, but projects better as a DE in the 3-4. He's not very disruptive, and with his injuries, I'm not sure he'll ever be. Which means he's best served bulking up so he can be more of an anchor. But he's fairly raw that never really was an impact player at Ohio State, and I don't expect him to suddenly become one in the pros. More than likely, he'll bounce around practice squads for a few years and eventually wash out.
ATL FORECAST: He is really just a camp body for the Falcons since he doesn't really fit well in their attacking 4-3 scheme either inside or outside. He could push for time at defensive end, but isn't a threat to really make the roster or practice squad there.
VALUE: Wilson is worth a camp invite, but he's not worth a draft pick because of his limited upside and rawness.

Director Nikhil Advani, who has been lying low after the release of "Patiala House", is scripting his next fun masala film where he plans to rope in seven classic beauties of the film industry.
"It's too premature. I am talking to everybody and it is quite exciting because it will give me an opportunity to work with some of the actors and actresses who I think are known as classic in the film industry," Nikhil told reporters here Thursday.
"I can't talk about it now. Among other scripts, yes, I am working on this one as well," he added.
According to reports, the movie will not only mark Madhuri Dixit's comeback, but will also feature six other heroines -- Preity Zinta, Deepika Padukone, Dimple Kapadia, Karisma Kapur, Rani Mukherjee and Genelia Dsouza.
The director clarified that it's not a women-centric film and added: "It's a fun masala Bollywood movie with a lot of women. It's not like 'Lajja' or Raj Kumar Santoshi's film. It's lot of fun. It is a multi-starrer film. It's the kind of the film I grew up watching."

A typical baby will need anywhere from 6,000 to 9,000 diaper changes in a lifetime, and too often families are forgoing diapers for food or other necessities.
Infant Crisis Services seeks donations for diaper drive Sept. 10-17
It's a problem Miki Farris sees often. As executive director of Infant Crisis Services, Farris sees that all the babies helped by the nonprofit have needs to be met, and clean diapers are one of them. That's why the organization is hoping to increase its supply of diapers to donate to needy families during Diaper Need Awareness Week scheduled for Monday through Sept. 17.
A clean change of diapers can cost families $100 or more per week. The organization gives away more than 9,000 diapers a week, and Farris said there are more to help.
"Every baby that comes in here needs diapers," Farris said. "I think folks would be surprised to learn how many families struggle to provide diapers."
Government assistance programs don't provide diapers, and Infant Crisis Services is the only diaper bank in central Oklahoma.
As small a thing as they might seem, diapers are important to a baby's health and well-being, Farris said. Going a long time in a soiled diaper can cause infections and rashes. Beyond the sanitation and health issues, parents dropping their babies off at day care to go to work or to go look for work must have diapers for their babies.

Previously I played Ophelia in Trevor Nunn's "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead" at the Theatre Royal Haymarket.
Following professional dance training, I graduated from the University of Cambridge and have since built up acting credits across film ("Captain America: the First Avenger"), TV ("Midsomer Murders") and theatre ("Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead").

2013 Lucas oil MX series TV schedule?
All of the dates and locations of the races are posted everywhere, but has anyone been able to find an ACTUAL TV schedule for the series?
All I can find is that there will be a mix of NBC, NBC sports, Fuel TV, and God knows what else {I think one page I found actually said that}.
Are there any live races? All tape delayed? First motos? Second motos?
Any help would be appreciated for DVR programer challenged.
I can't find a TV schedule yet for 2013 outdoor MX. Please tell me it will be televised. IN case any TV exec's are reading this, I watch supercross but for me, it pales in comparison to outdoor racing.
SX rocks, but MX is balls out tougher. I have never seen anyone pass out and need an I.V. after a SX race from exaustion. Seen it many times at the national MX races.
Rough. HOT. BIG. Long. FAST.
MX is it for me too. Most amatuer dirtbike racers will never ride a true SX track, but we can and DO ride MX tracks.
well said! Now where's the TV schedule
HHmm good question... It is hard to believe it is not shown on a bigger network..
Great.....another year of watching one moto per event :baldy
That sucks . Why do they do that? So fuckin' stupid.
thanks debaisley, I can't wait. what makes supercross legit, I guess, is pretty much the same guys that are fast in supercross are the same guys that dominate in the outdoor. I wouldn't think it to be that way, I would think a bigger stronger rider to be better outdoors but I guess I'm just wrong or old school about that. To qualify this I'm a 70's motocross "has been". suspension, suspension, suspension.
motos are usually on a torrent on Sunday
And often on youtube!
There is something wrong with that schedule. I have DTV and get Fuel and NBCSports. I just did a search for Motocross and only found Moto2 but it's on Fuel instead of NBCSports. It is listed as 2hrs so it might be both motos. I also went to the NBCSports website and searched fro Motocross and nothing came up. Just sayin?
I agree, my guide is not showing anything on NBC Sports motocross related. I did not do a search beacause alot of the time that stuff is listed under "sports spectacular" or some other lame heading and the description is in the INFo section not the title. I did a long scroll through NBCS and saw nothing MX related.
I will just look every day for something related.

Background: In vivo administration of antibodies against the amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide has been shown to reduce and reverse the progressive amyloidosis that develops in a variety of mouse models of Alzheimer's disease (AD). This work has been extended to clinical trials where subsequent autopsy cases of AD subjects immunized against Aβ showed similar reductions in parenchymal amyloid plaques, suggesting this approach to reduce neuropathology in man is feasible. Objective: Multiple hypotheses have been advanced to explain how anti-Aβ antibodies may lower amyloid burden. In this report, we compare approaches utilizing either plaque-binding or peptide-capturing anti-Aβ antibodies for effectiveness in reducing amyloidosis in a mouse model of AD. Methods: A plaque-binding monoclonal antibody (3D6) and an Aβ peptide-capturing monoclonal antibody (266) were compared in chronic treatment and prevention paradigms using a transgenic mouse model of AD. The effects of antibody therapy on plaque burden and plasma clearance of Aβ were investigated by quantitative imaging and clearance studies of intravenously injected 125I-Aβ. Results: The plaque-binding antibody 3D6 was highly effective in either treatment or prevention of amyloidosis. In these studies, the peptide-capture antibody 266 showed no reduction in amyloidosis in either paradigm and showed trends towards increasing amyloidosis. Antibody 266 was also found to greatly prolong (>180-fold) the normally rapid peripheral clearance of Aβ, in contrast to that found with 3D6 (>24-fold). Conclusion: Reversing and preventing Alzheimer's type amyloidosis is most effectively accomplished with anti-amyloid antibodies that avidly bind plaque.

We loved our time in Dublin. Mary was wonderful and the room was cozy and located within walking distance of the Guinness Storehouse, temple bar, and other central attractions. Breakfast was even delivered to our room! Thanks for a great stay!
Tuan rumah, Mary, memang peramah. Dia menyambut kami dan tidak menggangu selepas menunjukkan kediaman kami. Melancong dengan bayi, kami perlukan mikrowave, tanpa ragu, Mary menyediakannya dengan segera. Walaupun hanya untuk penginapan semalam, kami berasa seperti kami sahaja yang di rumah. Kami rasa tidak menggangu tetamu lain, walaupun keluar masuk bilik tandas. Persikataran kediaman Mary sangat aman dan damai, tempat letak kenderaan pun banyak. Lagipun sarapan sedap. Tidak dapat memilih penginapan yang lebih baik di Dublin.
Our host Mary was perfect. Welcoming yet unintrusive and very accomodating. With our 5 month old, we needed a microwave for sterlising, which she kindly provided for our room without any hesitation. Although it was only for a night's stay, we felt like we were the only ones in the house. With an infant, we had frequent toilet trips and this worked out fine even though there were other guests. A peaceful neighbourhood and parking was easy too. Breakfast was a lovely treat to start our day. Couldn't have chosen a better place for our Dublin stay.
