Josh Thompson has released his brand-new music video for his current single, "Wanted Me Gone." The video can currently be seen both online, as well as through CMT.
The video shows Thompson in a very comfortable setting — his own yard. In the opening clip, he walks out the door of his cabin-style home, pulls up a folding chair, cracks open a beer and gets enjoyment out of seeing his lady throw all of his belongings out the window.
Director Tom Dyer (Rack-N-Roll Audio) captures all of Thompson's personality that has rarely been showcased in previous singles released between his debut album, Way Out Here, and his latest, Turn It Up.
"I definitely had the most fun I've ever had shooting this video," says Thompson of the experience. "It tells the story of the song perfectly, and you can't go wrong with spending the day sitting in a lawn chair with a beer."
"Wanted Me Gone" is the second single off of Thompson's Turn It Up album, and is already receiving great reviews. Thompson penned the tune with Brad and Brett Warren, also known around Nashville as former country duo The Warren Brothers.
Turn It Up is available wherever music is sold. The collection of tunes also features lead single, "Cold Beer With Your Name On It."

… And what a shot it is. David Beckham is on the cover of Elle UK's July issue. He's their first ever solo male cover celebrity and the decision was made in honor of the impending Olympic Games to be held in London. And they've gone all out. There's so much testosterone oozing out of the image that we want to fan ourselves. We all know that Beckham is pretty frickin' gorgeous. But this Beckham is shirtless, with his ab's out in all their splendor, soaking wet, and in tight Dior Homme leather pants. It's almost too much to handle. It's no wonder that his wife, Victoria Beckham, tweeted, "Looking good on ELLEUK!!!! X vb" along with a picture of the cover.
She isn't the only one who wants to write sonnets about buff Becks. The magazine themselves seem to be very proud of themselves — for good reason, we may add. "David Beckham is a national hero. He is an icon and Elle is known for featuring icons on its cover. This is a first for us on the newsstand and I believe he is loved by men and women alike," says the editor-in-chief Lorraine Candy. "Anyway, who doesn't want to see a picture of one of the world's most handsome men on the front cover of a magazine? …" On another note, we find the quote given by Beckham quite hilarious. He says, "How would I sum myself up? I don't know, I prefer other people to do that. Erm… a little bit shy." Right … shy. With that cover? We don't think so!

HARTSVILLE, S.C. — Four young children, including twin girls, perished Wednesday afternoon when fire swept through a mobile home in the South Carolina city of Hartsville, authorities said.
The 1-year-old twins and their brothers aged 3 and 4 were found dead in the home after firefighters put out the blaze, Darlington County Coroner Todd Hardee said.
Hardee said autopsies are planned Thursday as part of an investigation to determine the cause of death and their identities.
Sheriff Wayne Byrd said the mother was in the yard when firefighters arrived. He didn't elaborate.
The fire is under investigation by both the sheriff 's department and the State Law Enforcement Division. No charges have been filed and authorities were preparing to talk with the mother.
Russell Cox, a spokesman for the city of Hartsville, said firefighters took about 10 minutes to put out the flames and then found the victims in the charred interior of the home, which was located on a street lined with mobile homes
While a photograph tweeted by the Darlington County sheriff's office showed the charred interior of the home, it indicated the outside appeared to be relatively undamaged. A tricycle and another children's toy could be seen in the yard.
Smoke could be seen still wafting from an open front door where fire hoses snaked through the opening.
Hartsville is a city of some 8,000 people about 60 miles east of the state capital, Columbia.

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
May 3l, 1969 J. A. GAYLORD 2,938,254
WEBBING ADAPTER Filed Nov. l0, 1958 INVENTOR. ./oH/v A. GAYLORD ATTORNEY United States Patent WEBBING ADAPTER John A. Gaylord, San Rafael, Calif., assignor to H. Koch & Sons, Corte Madera, Calif., a partnership Filed Nov. 10, 1958, Ser. No. 772,939
Claims. (Cl. 24--171) This invention relates to a webbing adapter.
The usual adapters or buckles used on webs or straps for adapting the webs or straps to any suitable length or tightness have the disadvantage that when turned upside down or when subjected to certain forces, loosen the grip on the web and allow the web to slip.
It is the primary object of this invention to provide means in such webbing adapters for positively holding the clamping or web retaining element of the webbing adapter engaged with the web yet be suiciently yieldable to permit manipulation and release of the clamping element at will.
Particularly it is an object of the invention to provide a resiliently yieldable tension device to positively hold the clamping bar or web retaining bar of a webbing adapted in web retaining position in any attitude of the webbing and of the webbing adapter.
l am aware that some changes may be made in the general arrangements and combinations of the several devices and parts, as well as in the details of the construction thereof without departing from the scope of the present invention as set forth in the following speciiication, and as defined in the following claims; hence I do not limit my invention to the exact arrangements and combinations of the said device and parts as described in the said specification, nor do I confine myself to the exact details of the construction of the said parts as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
With the foregoing and other objects in view, which will be made manifest in the following detailed description, reference is had to the accompanying drawings for the illustrative embodiment of the invention, wherein:
Fig. 1 is a front elevational view of a webbing adapter with tension device thereon. t
Fig. 2 is a side view of said webbing adapter.
Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view of said webbing adapter.
Fig. 4 is a sectional view of said webbing adapter, the section being taken on lines 4-4 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 5 is another sectional view of said webbing adapter, the section being taken on lines 5-5 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 6 is a front elevational view of a webbing adapter with web engaging slot and with wide looped spring in the tension device.
Fig. 7 is a sectional view of the webbing adapter shown in Fig. 6.
The usual webbing adapter is a kind of buckle which permits slip or slide adjustment of webs or straps thereon. Positive holding of the web at adjusted length or tension is particularly important in webbing of parachutes where the adapter or buckle assumes various, sometimes unexpected, attitudes and positions yet firm attachment of the web is imperative in all such attitudes.
The usual webbing adapter includes a generally rectangular frame 1 provided with a loop for a strap or suspension line. The loop 2 in Fig. l is formed as a round hole 3 for a strap or line. The loop 4 in Fig. 6 is formed as an elongated slot 6 for a wider web or strap. The rectangular frame 1 in each includes cross members 7 2,938,254 Patented May 31, 1960 and 8 connected by vertical sides 9 so as to inclose a generally rectangular space 11. Near the lower crossmember 7 farthest from the respective loop, on which latter the adapter is usually suspended, is a web retaining bar or clamping bar 12. Each end of the web retaining bar 12 has a vertical slot 13 therein so as to straddle the adjacent vertical side 9 of the frame and be slidable along the sides 9 toward and away from the lower cross member 7. The lower face of the web retaining bar 12 is suitably serrated for gripping a web or strap 14 between it and the lower cross member 7. Usually the web 14 is inserted between the retaining bar 12 and the lower cross member 7 and is then played around the top of the retaining bar 12 and upon itself so that a pull exerted on the upper branch 16 of the web 14 presses down the retaining bar 12 on the lower branch 17 of the web 14 and thereby tightens the grip thereon. lWhen the frame 1 is inverted or when the pressure and tension conditions change in a peculiar manner, the retaining bar 12 frequently loosens its grip and allows the web 14 to slip. In critical situations, such as suspension from a parachute, such slippage of the web may be extremely dangerous and damaging.
The tension device to prevent accidental loosening of the grip on the web includes a tension bar 21 located between the retaining bar 12 and the top cross member 8. Projections 22 extend from each end of the tension bar 21 toward the retaining bar 12 and bear against the latter outside of and beyond the respective edges of the web 14 so as to space the intermediate portion of the tension bar 21 from the upper branch 16 of the web 14 on the top of the retaining bar 12.
In each end of the tension bar 21 is a vertical slot 23 forming a fork or yoke slidable on the respective sides 9. One of the vertical slots 23 is deeper than the other so as to facilitate assembly, and a pin 24 extended across this deeper slot after assembly prevents longitudinal shifting of the tension bar 21.
In the top of the tension bar 21 is a longitudinal slot 26 facing toward the top cross member 8 of the frame. In the bottom or lower face of the top cross member 8 is a slot facing the tension bar slot 26 so that a spring can be nested in said slots for urging the tension bar 21 against the web retaining bar 12. The shape or size of the slot in the top cross member 8 varies according to the typeof spring used.
In each instance herein the spring is a wire spring bent into an anchor loop from which extend legs, crossing each other, with the ends of the legs bearing in the tension bar slot 26.
In Fig. 1 the spring 27 is formed with a circular hinge or anchor loop 28 nested in a short slot 29 in the bottom of the upper cross member 8. Legs 31 are crossed to form said hinge loop 28. The end of each leg 31 is curved slightly outwardly to form a bearing foot 32 nesting in the tension bar socket 26. An anchor pin 33 extends transversely across the short slot 29 and through the loop 28 so as to anchor the spring loop 28.
In Fig. 6 the spring 34 has an elongated loop 36 nested invan elongated slot 37 in the bottom of the top cross member 8. From opposite ends of the loop extend crossing legs 38 with curved feet 39 nesting in the tension bar slot 26. A pair of spaced anchor pins 41 extend across the elongated slot 37 through the respective ends of the at loop 36 and anchor said fiat loop 36.
In each instance the spring yieldably forces the tension bar 21 against the web retaining bar 12 to hold the latter against accidental displacement, yet permits manipulation for inserting the web in position as shown.
I claim:
l. In a webbing adapter, a frame having at least a cross bar and spaced sides extending from the cross bar, and a web retaining bar having one side thereof parallel with said cross bar and being slidably held on said sides, gripping means on said side ofthe retaining bar adjacent said cross bar for securely gripping a web, said retaining bar accommodating a web played around it, a yieldable tension device for holding said retaining bar in clamping position comprising a tension bar slidable on said frame sides and engageable with said retaining bar, and resilient means on said frame to urge said tension bar against said retaining bar to hold said retaining bar in clamping position, spaced engagement projections at the ends of said tension bar bearing against said retaining bar and spacing the portion of said tension bar between said projections from said retaining bar.
2. In a webbing adapter, a generally rectangular frame including spaced cross members connected by spaced sides, a web retaining bar slidable on the sides to clamp a web against one of said cross members, a tension bar, the ends of said tension bar having slots therein slidable on said sides between said retaining bar and the other cross member, projections on said slotted ends of said tension bar bearing against said retaining bar and spacing said tension bar from said retaining bar; and a spring between said tension bar and said other cross-member to hold said tension bar against said web retaining bar.
3. The webbing adapter defined in claim 2, said tension bar and said other cross member having opposite 4 longitudinal slots in their respective sides facing one another, and the respective Aends of said spring being nested in said slots.
4. The webbing adapter dened in claim 3, and anchor elements in the slot of said other cross member for anchoring said spring therein.
5. The webbing adapter defined in claim 2, said tension bar and said other cross member having opposite longitudinal slots in their respective sides facing one another, said spring being a wire spring with a loop having legs extending therefrom, the loop forming one end and the ends of said legs crossing each other from said loop forming the other end thereof, means in the slot of said other cross member to anchor said loop, and feet portions formed on said ends of said spring legs bearing against said tension bar in the slot of said tension bar.

Liverpool trip to Finland brings back memories of UEFA Cup and Euro glory
Liverpool's penultimate preseason match will be a game in Finland that will be a caustic reminder of better times.
HJK Helsinki will be the opposition on Saturday but the venue is of more importance, since it was in the Olympiastadion back in 2001 that the club's adventures in the Champions League began.
It was a very important moment for a club that because of the ban after the 1985 Heysel disaster and the continental failings of Graeme Souness and Roy Evans, had added little to its rich European...

DC Press release:
The Move from Vinyl to CD
After some time (I wanted to move to CD in 1997) I have finally got a machine that I believe is sonically and technically up to the job of replacing the hallowed and much loved 1210. I was originally asked to demo the Technics CD deck in New York at the beginning of the year but I didn't have the space in my calendar, however after finally getting my hands on one I have concluded that I will now switch over to cd's in the short term, this will take some time and allow me to road test the machine in clubs. Initially I will bring my own, but would appreciate any promoters that read this and have budget to either hire or buy, to supply 2-3 of them, eventually my technical rider will change and any one with questions can send either an email to my office or speak to my road manager direct. Please note that Pioneer/Denon or other makes of cd decks will not be used, furthermore technics 1210's will still be needed.
I know some of you flat earthers will be upset, but whilst I love vinyl it's time has been written on the wall for ages and I felt that Final Scratch and Albeton live wasn't for me in terms of interface and sound quality (although some djs have their own valid and different opinions). In my mind at the moment the pro's outweigh the cons, it will speed up the both mine and other producers music to clubs (being cheaper for smaller labels/artists), the bass frequencies will be fatter and stereo (in non bridged systems), the flexibility in mixing techniques not available to vinyl (and some computer systems ) are exciting, and it uses a standard that is already tried and tested. The only cons that I can think of are slower load up time than vinyl and inability of titling each cd with vdu outlet to a central LCD. I believe these are not unsurmountable problems.
I must also say that this is an entirely professional decision, I am not sponsored by this company.
Notice to promo/record companies and artists:
Please from now on can you send both vinyl and cd of all singles/albums that you feel suit the material that I play out e.g.: Novamute, Ruskin, inigo Kennedy, Victim, end2end, twilight, 76, turbo, Birmingham Boys, DiskoB, Gigolo, electrix etc. etc. etc. Can all cd's please be labelled clearly as cdr's without writing/print can easily be lost, also please don't forget to finalise, and if it has been professionally mastered please label "production copy". Only 16bit 44.1 will be played, mp3 will be ignored. Finally, if you can afford to, than please send any back cat on cd if you know I have been a fan!
Many many thanks
Dave Clarke
contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
Ik denk dat ze hem veel geld betaald hebben, ook al zegt hij van niet. Nuja ik zou het ook doen, btw ik denk wel dat als dave clarke voor technics kiest dat het filmpje waarin ze die technics reviewen tegen de denon en pioneer en waar die technics skipped dat het een dikke hoax is.

XTreme Antler And Maximum Shred
Xtreme Antler And Maximum Shred – Experience Astounding Results!
You might have heard about Xtreme Antler and Maximum Shred, two all-natural steroid-free muscle building supplements that are the latest hit among professional and amateur athletes and bodybuilders around the world. Both products present amazing results in muscle gain and additional benefits, but studies suggest that when they're taken together, the results are just mind blowing!
Let's examine the individual benefits of each and then the joint benefits.
Xtreme Antler:
Xtreme Antler is derived from deer antler velvet which is extracted through humane practices, without killing or harming the deer. This supplement is used to gain an energy boost and for stamina and strength building during workouts.
- As a natural source of growth factor hormone IGF-1 which is produced in the body daily, Xtreme Antler promotes spurts of growth in lean muscle, tissue, and bone density while allowing faster recovery time from workouts.
- Being rich in compounds like iron, zinc, calcium, potassium, magnesium, and more, Xtreme Antler promotes tissue repair and overall well being.
- All the ingredients enable more creation of muscle and increase stamina.
Xtreme Antler and Maximum Shred work together hand in hand to offer these amazing benefits:
- Maximum muscle gain, naturally, without the use of steroids or chemicals.
- Stamina building to enhance your work out and sex life.
- Briefer recovery time to allow faster gains from working out.
- Jumpstart metabolism.
- Improved immune system functioning and holistic health.
- Boost in sex drive and sexual performance.
You will feel the difference immediately after using this product and see the gains for yourself in a matter of just a few weeks.
Maximum Shred:
Maximum Shred allows you to gain more defined and stronger muscle from workouts while burning fat and boosts energy levels to lessen fatigue. Here's how it works:
- L-arginine, the main ingredient signals the body to release human growth hormone which in turn signals the body to grow, leading to stronger lean muscle mass and bone density.
- By improving the flow of nutrient rich blood to the muscles during workouts so you can recover faster and gain muscle quicker.
- By enabling deeper sleep with easily absorbable magnesium, Maximum Shred facilitates tissue repair.
- The increased blood flow also improves the ability to get and maintain erections and improves sex drive.
Both these supplements are completely natural and are not made with any fillers or binders or other harmful substances. Both products also have no known side effects when dosage and usage instructions are followed. This product is not intended for those under 18. As with any supplement, if you have a chronic condition, you should consult a physician before use.
The benefits of both these products are numerous! Lucky for you, both come with a free trial offer right now. That means you can order both supplements and experience for yourself the remarkable results of using them together before you spend a single penny on either of them. You only have to pay shipping and handling for it to reach your doorstep!

Join us for book launch of the recently published The Red Army Faction, A Documentary History: Volume 2: Dancing with Imperialism, the second in the Red Army Faction documentary histories.
The book's publisher will be on hand to discuss the experiences of the Red Army Faction and other West German armed organizations from the 1960s to the 1990s. Copies of the book will also be available (along with volume 1, Projectiles for the People) at a special price.
Pick up copies of RAF Volume 2: The Red Army Faction, A Documentary History: Volume 2: Dancing with Imperialism, and Volume 1: The Red Army Faction, A Documentary History - Volume 1: Projectiles For the People
"A fascinating history of the German revolutionary left in the 1970s and
1980s. It powerfully situates the RAF within a broader orbit of
revolutionary politics and world events. It gives us the inside story of
how militants did and might engage with police, prisons, informants, media
and one another in the context of struggle. It is an exciting story, a
global story, and very much a story for today's movements."
----------Dan Berger,
editor of The Hidden 1970s
"Of all the revolutionary organizations to have been forged by the so-called sixties generation, the German Red Army Faction has been perhaps the most mythologized and maligned. Here at last is their story, told in their own words through "official" communications, comprehensively assembled and available for the first time in English translation. This is essential material for anyone wishing to know what they did, why they did it, and to draw consequent lessons from their experience."

Combine a Volunteer Vacation with a Tax Deduction
Where: Ghana
February 19, 2014 at 3:07 PM | by cmb | Comment (1)
If you're like us and still putting off your taxes, here's something that might make next year's tax time a little easier. It's not too late to take an amazing trip, do some good, and get a tax deduction in the process.
Globe Aware, an organization that develops short-term, international volunteer programs, is also a 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt corporation, which means all expenses related to their volunteer work are tax-deductible.

Joel Glazer Speaks
March 22, 2011 at 09:18am by Scott • 1 Comment »
Sorry for the absence yesterday. Couldn't be helped. But it looks like nothing happened in football except for more lawyer posturing in the labor non-talks and the owners' meetings in New Orleans. But at least the local papers switched out their lead stories for the first time in a week, and the Times made theirs an interview with Joel Glazer at said meeting. Guess if Glazer is excited about the team or not.
"I am so excited. People who know me say I light up like a Christmas tree when I talk about this team."
And he has every reason to be excited. Once football actually starts again, the Bucs will be in year three of the rebuilding effort that most of us thought was nuts at the time.
"This is not just a young team that made progress. This is a franchise and a team that is built to compete now, that can do some real damage, and it's only going to get better. There is no question this team is built to last."
This is the way teams used to build dynasties. Tom Landry, Chuck Noll, Bill Walsh — they all had awful teams to start with. But their owners just stayed patient and kept adding pieces and eventually were rewarded with Super Bowls.
The real meat of the article, though, is in the bullet points at the bottom that deal with actual news and not just feelings. For example, did you know the Bucs are up for consideration for this year's Hard Knocks? Assuming there is a training camp, of course.
"They talk to a lot of different teams at this time of year. They're narrowing it down. We're listening, we're listening. I don't know if we would do it or not. I think we have a good story to tell based on a lot of the characters and on Raheem. I think people could get a closer look at us. There are a lot of pros and cons. I think it would be fun as long as you knew what you were getting into."
Raheem is every bit as good a TV character as Rex Ryan, plus he doesn't have that unsavory foot fetish angle that, while providing years worth of quality blogging material, would make it tough to watch him on the screen. I'm not one to judge another man's kinks (lobotomized Asians with implants and huge hands, for example) , but I still can't take Ryan seriously to this day. That kind of thing will never happen with Raheem. Add the obvious characters on the team and the upswing they're on, and it's a perfect club to follow for a few weeks. And then watch next year because who wants to pay for HBO these days?
On re-signing Barrett Ruud and Davin Joseph: "That's really up to Mark (Dominik, the general manager) and Raheem. Whatever they feel is necessary is what we'll do. But they've been a key part of the Bucs, and that's important."
Ahh, an owner who leaves personnel decisions to the personnel people.
On Dominik having only one more year on his contract and Morris having two. "Mark has done a tremendous job. Raheem has done a tremendous job. What people forget is that Mark has been part of the Bucs for 15 years and Raheem for eight or nine.
"It's interesting people ask this question. It's not an issue, not a concern, not a thought. It's more a concern of the big picture. It'll be taken care of at the right time. They've done a great job."
It's not an out-of-line question. Contract extensions = security and confidence. If someone is playing on their final year, it's perfectly reasonable to ask if there's a reason why they haven't been extended yet. It seems silly to think that Dominik wouldn't get extended since the team has been so successful under his watch so far, and I'm quite sure it will happen, but lame duck years always draw questions and you'd think everyone would like to avoid them by just doing the deal. It's not like they're busy pursuing free agents or anything.
It's all decent insight from a guy who doesn't usually do a lot of talking. He may see opening up like this as another step in reconnecting with the fans and not appearing so aloof to the public. If we can ever get football cranked up again, it's something to be excited about.
One Comment to "Joel Glazer Speaks"
Mark S (March 22, 2011 at 10:49am) :
One of the things that can absolutely ruin a team is going Hollywood. So in this case, I am in the mode, if its not broke don't fix it. What they did last year worked, lets do that again without the temptation to pose for TV. These guys will get their recognition as they earn it on the field, and especially in the playoffs. I think that is how it should be.

Phoenix Suns
Phoenix Suns owner: The only question is how much we'll be paying Eric Bledsoe
Nine years ago, the Phoenix Suns made a decision that altered the franchise's future in a negative way.
They decided to allow Joe Johnson leave for the Atlanta Hawks.
Johnson was a restricted free agent that summer who was coming off a breakout campaign where he averaged 17.1 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game for a 62-win team.
But, for a variety of reasons, Johnson wanted to play for the Hawks. And rather than match the offer sheet he signed with the Hawks, as was their right, the Suns instead decided to work out a sign-and-trade deal. At the time, it was reported that Suns owner Robert Sarver was not willing to pay maximum-contract money to a player who didn't want to be on the team.
In a way it made sense, but it cost the team.
Johnson went on to play in seven NBA All-Star games as he evolved into one of the best players in the league. The Suns, meanwhile, were plenty good, but likely would have been much better with the 6-foot-7 guard on the roster.
Nine years later, the Suns again have an emerging player set to become a restricted free agent. While Eric Bledsoe has not gone out of his way to profess a desire to return, it's important to note there have been no rumblings of him wanting to play anywhere else. But even if he did, Sarver and the Suns would have no problem matching any offer sheet he signs and keeping him in purple and orange.
"It wouldn't make any difference," Sarver said of what he'd think if Bledsoe did make it known he'd rather play somewhere else. "A lot of that's agent speak and a lot of that is when you have a good person like an Eric Bledsoe or a Joe Johnson, he's going to be a good teammate no matter who he is with, so that doesn't really mean anything."
Sarver said it's even easier to match any contract nowadays because a maximum deal is for fewer years and less money in 2014 than it was in 2005.
Back then, the Suns would have been committing roughly $70 million to Johnson for five years. Now, though, a deal with a team other than Phoenix would be for four years and roughly $56 million. The Suns could offer more years and money -- just as they could have with Johnson in 2005 -- though as has been proven, that doesn't always make a difference.
But rest assured, the Suns are not going to let another young talented guard leave town.
"The only real unknown for fans is how much money are we going to pay Eric Bledsoe," Sarver said. "It's not whether he's going to be here or not."
The way Sarver sees it, Bledsoe will have a contract that pays him between $7 million and $14 million per year, and on a four-year deal, the investment isn't one he'd be leery of.
Bledsoe is coming off a season in which he averaged career highs with 17.7 points, 5.5 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game. In his first year as a full-time starter, he missed 39 games due to injury -- including one that forced him to undergo knee surgery in January.
When he was on the floor, though, Bledsoe made the Suns a different team. They went 48-34 on the season, but were a healthy 28-15 with the guard in the lineup.
So the Suns have plenty of reasons to want him back, and Sarver said chances are "extremely remote" that he wouldn't return.
"I could probably name two players right now that if they wanted to do a sign-and-trade for we'd probably do it," he mused. "I can't name their names, but if you look at the MVP list people think, you'll probably see them."
It's a much different approach than the one the owner took nine years ago, when he was willing to let a similarly talented player leave when it didn't have to come to that. Back then, Sarver was very green as an NBA owner and possibly made a rookie mistake.
"I did learn from the Joe Johnson deal that it's just part of the business," he said. "There's an ugly part of this business in terms of how things are negotiated. But that's separate and apart from who the individual is, the basketball part.
"We know Eric works well in our system, we know he and Goran play well together, we know Eric's a competitor, we know Eric's got big cajones and will take that shot at the end when he needs to. And we know he's a really good person and a good teammate, so we don't need to know anything else."

Caregivers Manging Multiple Chronic Conditions; NCOA Can Help
The AARP Public Policy Institute (PPI) and the United Hospital Fund (UHF) recently released a new report that finds 46 percent of family caregivers perform medical and nursing tasks for care recipients with multiple chronic physical and cognitive conditions. The report, "Home Alone: Family Caregivers Providing Complex Chronic Care," explores the complexity of tasks that caregivers provide.
The PPI and UHF report is based on a national survey of 1,677 family caregivers who were asked about the medical and nursing tasks they perform. Of the 46 percent of family caregivers performing medical and nursing tasks, three out of four provided medication management – including administering IVs and injections – for a loved one. Further, more than a third of these caregivers providing medical and nursing tasks reported doing wound care. Other tasks included operating specialized medical equipment and monitors.
Interestingly on the same day I received this notice, the National Council on Aging sent information on how to obtain assistance in managing multiple chronic conditions.
Their Center for Healthy Aging will provide technical support to 22 states that have received more than $8.5 million to educate older adults on how to live better with chronic conditions. The new federal grants will help 87,000 seniors access evidence-based self-management programs to help them manage arthritis, diabetes, chronic pain, and more.
Assistant Secretary for Aging and Administrator of the Administration for Community Living Kathy Greenlee said, "We know these programs work. These funds help empower individuals so they can take better care of themselves, feel better, and perhaps avoid extra doctor visits and trips to the emergency room."
These grants will help more people access tailored workshops to help them manage their conditions and help states embed the programs into their public health and wellness infrastructures.
Two-thirds of Medicare spending is for beneficiaries with five or more chronic conditions.
The new grants build on the Recovery Act's Chronic Disease Self-Management Program grants awarded in March 2010, which had an initial goal of reaching 50,000 older adults. As of August 28, 2012, 47 of those first-round states had reached 111,272 seniors.
The 22 states awarded the competitive cooperative agreements are: Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.
The funding will support a variety of programs, all evidence-based and licensed from the Stanford University Patient Education Research Center. The Stanford programs emphasize the individual's role in managing their health and improving their quality of life. The grants will also support evidence-based self-management programs for people with diabetes, arthritis, HIV/AIDS, and chronic pain, including internet-based courses and programs specifically developed for Spanish-speaking adults with chronic conditions.
To learn more about the Stanford University Chronic Disease Self-Management Program, go to http://patienteducation.stanford.edu/programs/.
To find workshops, visit the NCOA Center for Healthy Aging at http://www.ncoa.org/improve-health/center-for-healthy-aging/chronic-disease-1.html.
As the holidays approach, many new caregivers will be born as typically visits home to mom and dad are when you start to notice that living conditions and health conditions might have changed, particularly if you only visit occasionally. Take a breath. And know that there are support mechanisms out there for you.

Submitted by Brendan Fischer on
Online retail giant Amazon is being criticized for its relationship with the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), and accounts of its participation in ALEC illustrate how ALEC's corporate members and funders drive the ALEC agenda.
The Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC) is asking Amazon to follow the lead of 12 other corporations and drop its association with ALEC. Amazon apparently became an ALEC member in part to oppose new state taxes on online sales, but Amazon's membership dues and sponsorship grants help fund the overall ALEC agenda, which includes bills like "Stand Your Ground / Kill at Will," voter ID, anti-environmental legislation, and more.
In response to growing criticism of ALEC and an exodus of corporate and legislative members, ALEC has published a new set of "Frequently Asked Questions" to present a positive image of the organization. ALEC's claims in those FAQs -- such as how "elected state legislators fully control ALEC's model legislation process" or how ALEC meetings allow the public and private sectors to "share their views" -- are contrary to what some participants say actually happens in ALEC meetings, including those involving Amazon.
Corporate Members Play Leading Role
One example of how corporations dominate the policy discussion within ALEC comes from a subcommittee of the ALEC Telecommunications and IT Task Force at ALEC's 2011 Annual Meeting in New Orleans. The subcommittee considered a proposal to adopt a sales tax rate on e-commerce on par with the sales tax rate for brick-and-mortar retailers. According to some estimates, increasing this sales tax could raise $24 billion in revenue for cash-strapped states confronting deficits and high unemployment caused by the financial crisis.
Not surprisingly, online retailer Amazon vigorously opposed the proposal. While legislators were present at the meeting, the corporate lobbyists drove the discussion. "Not a single legislator spoke up" during the nearly 40 minute debate over the proposal, said Jeff Wright, a Florida teacher's union member who paid nearly $1000 to attend the conference so he could observe ALEC in action. "The discussion was not an exchange of ideas between the public sector and private sector, but a debate between the corporate members," Wright said.
Amazon sponsored the Annual Meeting at the "Director" level (which cost $10,000 the previous year), as well as having paid membership dues (between $7,000 and $25,000) and additional fees for Task Force membership (between $3,000 and $10,000). Amazon succeeded in getting the proposed internet tax tabled.
Who Drives the ALEC Agenda?
Wright's observations also contradicted ALEC's claims that "elected state legislators fully control ALEC's model legislation process." The new rhetoric stands in stark contrast with the level of involvement of corporate lobbyists in the task force meetings, where the real business of approving model legislation occurs. While the ALEC public sector board has final say on adopting a task force-approved bill, according to ALEC's procedures the model bills are automatically adopted if no one on the board objects within 30 days.
"My impression was that legislators knew that the corporations in the room were the ones that would be funding their election campaigns," so they were not going to take sides in the debate between Amazon and Wal-Mart. "They were not going to weigh in [on the proposal]. They let the corporations battle it out."
Wright said he noticed the same dynamic at the Task Force meeting he attended. The Task Forces are where ALEC's corporate and other members can propose model legislation, and where the Task Force's corporate and legislative members vote as equals to decide whether to adopt it. "If I'm running for reelection, am I going to vote against the proposals of the corporations funding my campaign? I don't think so."
Other reports from Task Force meetings show that even when a majority of legislators support a particular proposal, it can be killed if the corporate members do not.
"Going into the ALEC meeting," Wright said, "I knew that the corporate members participated. But I did not anticipate how much the corporations really are the ones in charge at ALEC."

Amazon and ALEC
Thank you Brendan Fischer for this article.
I'm glad to hear that PCCC is bugging Amazon about their membership in ALEC agenda, which supports bills like "Stand Your Ground / Kill at Will," voter ID, anti-environmental legislation, and privatizing what's left of our education system.
Hmm. If a legislator thinks to himself or herself: "If I'm running for reelection, am I going to vote against the proposals of the corporations funding my campaign? I don't think so." Well, that says it all, and that is what I was thinking about ALEC. Legislators snooze while corporations and lobbyists write our laws.
Mr. Wright's observations and comments are RIGHT. Corporations are really in charge of ALEC.
Keeping ALEC under public scrutiny is so important. Putting pressure on corporations to leave ALEC is what we have to keep doing.

Amazon and ALEC
I've written and chatted twice with Amazon representatives asking if they had any plans to drop out of ALEC. They didn't respond so I went to their website with the intention of closing out my account. I found it interesting that there is no way to close an account online. I guess you have to call them to do that. For a company as tech savvy as they are, you'd think they would include that capability in their online services.

ALEC and Amazon warehouse workers
Maybe this is another reason why Amazon is in ALEC:
"Current and former workers at Amazon's warehouse near Allentown, Pa., say they were forced to endure temperatures above 100 degrees inside the sprawling facility and were pushed to work at a pace many could not sustain."
I also patronize Amazon a lot, and when I saw the reports on working conditions I thought that it was okay to continue to patronize them (because people need any jobs at all) while we (the people) worked to get fair oversight legislation into place. We need to improve working conditions across the industry, so Amazon can compete fairly with other online warehouse employers on a fair and decent playing field.
Instead, I find that Amazon, through ALEC, is conspiring with other retailers to prevent worker health and safety regulations from happening! I have no objection to Amazon lobbying openly to prevent internet taxes. Many people might support that idea on the grounds that economic activity benefits the economy.
My objection isn't that Amazon lobbies, it's that it lobbies in secret for filthy legislation, that the people who actually elect legislators don't want and wouldn't tolerate in daylight!
So I won't patronize Amazon again until they withdraw all participation in ALEC. I'll post that message all over the web, as well as contact them and sign petitions. Amazon executives had better hear it, or face a shareholder suit.

The people of South Florida deal with a variety of pests on a daily basis. Our subtropical climate makes an ideal habitat for a large number of invasive pests and our area is home to more rodents than many other regions. During recent years, active hurricane seasons have contributed to the influx of rodent infestations. As animals' habitats are destroyed by natural or unnatural means, they seek shelter where they can find it and oftentimes the average residential home looks like the perfect place for an animal to reside. Many homes and businesses are plagued by the presence of mice and rats, since these creatures can invade buildings through cracks and crevices that are less than an inch wide. Mice and rats are not the only pests we find in South Florida, though. Places like the City of Lake Worth Florida, Lantana Florida, Boynton Beach FL, and Jensen Beach Florida are also plagued with raccoons, opossums, and even iguanas.
If you are seeking help when it comes to Pest Control Rodents Florida, Pest & Plant Management of South Florida can help. We have recently added trapping and removal of unwanted animals to our repertoire of Pest Prevention and Control Florida services. If you have a raccoon wandering through your yard, don't hesitate to call us. These animals are often associated with rabies, and their bites or scratches can spread this dangerous disease. We also have the proper equipment for removing opossums from yards. Though they are relatively harmless, opossums are often credited with tearing up lawns as they root around for insects and other food sources.
One of the most common pests we deal with is the iguana. Not natural inhabitants of South Florida, most iguanas are thought to have made their way to the area through the illegal pet trade, and many have likely escaped or been released from captivity. Though they are not native to the area, iguanas thrive in Florida's warm, humid climate and this invasive species has been known to wreak havoc on lawns by eating ornamentals, burrowing near foundations, and contaminating the areas in which they live with droppings and saliva that can contain dangerous bacteria like salmonella. They eat plants like orchids, hibiscus, berries, mangoes, tomatoes, and bananas and are also known to eat birds and small insects. Rather than attempt to trap an iguana on your own, we recommend relying on our Pest Control Services Florida to remove this creature, which can be dangerous when cornered.
In addition to iguanas, many of our Residential Pest Control Florida clients find themselves dealing with roof rats. The roof rat is the most common of the many South Florida Lawn Pests. Ranging in color from light gray to black, this rodent can easily make its way into residential homes by crawling into vents, torn screens, pipes, chimneys, and other unsealed openings. Though their main vice is the numerous droppings they leave behind, they are also prone to gnawing through various substances such as aluminum, copper, lead and even things like cinder blocks and concrete. Our Pest Control Rats West Palm Beach Florida services includes rodent bait stations, one of the most effective ways of getting rid of these irritating creatures.
For all of your Pest Control Rodents Florida needs in and around Florida Broward County, Martin County FL, and Palm Beach County FL, contact Pest & Plant Management of South Florida. Not only can we help you with Insect and Rodent Infestation and Raccoon Control, but we can help you get rid of Dog Ticks in Florida, Fleas on Cats in Florida, and all kinds of South Florida Lawn Pests. We can even assist you with Household Spider Control, Residential Pest Control Florida, Lawn Maintenance Services Florida, Bee and Wasp Control, and Commercial Pest Control Florida. Our employees have the best Florida Pest Control Training and can help handle any Pest Control Services Florida you might need.

Google pays tribute to physicist Niels Bohr with doodle
Search giant Google on Sunday paid homage to Nobel Prize winner physicist Niels Bohr, who had contributed immensely to our understanding of atomic structure and quantum mechanics.
Visitors to the Google homepage (www.google.com) were greeted with a doodle showing equations for quantum mechanics, with the tip indicating Bohr's 127th birth anniversary.
As in the past, clicking on the doodle will take the visitor to a Google Search Results page for "Niels Bohr."
"In addition to his major contributions to theoretical physics, Bohr was an excellent administrator. The institute he headed is now named for him, and he helped found CERN, Europe's great particle accelerator and research station," the US Public Broadcasting Service said.
Bohr was born Oct. 7, 1885 in Copenhagen, Denmark. He studied physics and played soccer at the University of Copenhagen and traveled to England on a study grant and worked under J.J. Thomson, who had discovered the electron.
Bohr was born Oct. 7, 1885 in Copenhagen, Denmark. He studied physics and played soccer at the University of Copenhagen and traveled to England on a study grant and worked under J.J. Thomson, who had discovered the electron.
In 1922, he received the Nobel Prize for his model of the atomic structure.
Bohr returned to Denmark as a professor at the University of Copenhagen, and founded the Institute for Theoretical Physics in 1920. He remained director of the institute for the rest of his life.
When Hitler took power in Germany, Bohr was concerned for his colleagues there and offered many escaping Jewish scientists a place to live and work.
He even donated his gold Nobel medal to the Finnish war effort.
After the German army occupied Denmark, Bohr's family fled to Sweden in a fishing boat. Bohr and his son Aage left Sweden, in the empty bomb rack of a British military plane.
They went to the United States, and joined the Manhattan Project, which worked on the atomic bomb at Los Alamos, though Bohr had qualms about the bomb's consequences.
In 1955, Bohr organized the Atoms for Peace Conference in Geneva.
He died at home on Nov. 18, 1962, following a stroke. — ELR, GMA News
