The Old Economy Leads the Way Higher, Nasdaq Follows, but not AAPL
Apple Stock Watch: - The Old Economy Leads the Way Higher, Nasdaq Follows, but not AAPL
by , 5:25 PM EDT, August 14th, 2000
After an indecisive morning both the Dow and the Nasdaq kicked into rally mode this afternoon. Volume was so light on the Nasdaq, most people must have been at the beach. Apple climbed off its morning lows, but still ended in the red for the session.
The gut feeling in the market is that we are near the end of the rising interest rate cycle leaving a lot of good so-called old economy stock values in the wake of the last few years of tech stock mania.
Apple shed 5/8 consolidating Friday's gains at 47 1/16 on volume of 2.7 million shares.
The Nasdaq climbed 59 points (1.58%) to close at 3849 on volume of 1.2 billion shares, the 6th lightest session volume of the year. The Semiconductor Index ($SOX) climbed 6% after receiving a number of positive, if selective, recommendations from several brokerage houses.
Linux related stocks are getting a positive boost this week as the LinuxWorld Conference and Expo, "triggers a cascade of announcements and demonstrations of Linux technology."
The Dow rallied 148 points (1.35%) to close at 11176 on volume of 785 million shares.
The number of stocks hitting new 52-week highs on the NYSE rose to 150 today, that's the highest its been since January, while NYSE volume is 26% greater than it was last August, even though today was the lightest volume day of the month so far. The Dow is now within 550 point of January 14th's closing high of 11722, but it will have to break above its April 11th peak of 11287 first.
Crude oil prices climbed into the $31 a barrel region once again and forecasts are for high demand and tight supplies through out the coming winter.
The S&P 500 climbed 19.70 points (1.34%) to close at 1491.54.
In Apple related businesses: Is video e-mail in your future? Digital Media formed an alliance with Akamai to deliver point to point video services world wide using Akamai's Free Flow(SM) Streaming service. Akamai climbed 7 15/16 to 71 3/8.
Adobe soared 6 1/16 to 121 5/8 as Adobe InDesign gains momentum:
"Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) School of Printing Management and Sciences is standardizing part of its curriculum on Adobe® InDesign (TM) software to prepare students for careers in printing and publishing. Over the coming months, more than 600 Apple Power Mac G3 and G4 computers in labs across the RIT campus will be loaded with InDesign software as part of the standardization initiative. RIT, a college committed to innovation and giving students real-life experience, was named America's "Most Wired University" by The Wall Street Journal and is listed in Yahoo! Internet Life's Top 100 Wired Universities."
Earthlink fell 9/16 to 10 dollars, ELNK's lowest price per share since February of 1998.
Motorola announced a multi-use wireless phone with an Internet microbrowser, e-mail, a two-way radio function, etc. Motorola climbed 5/8 to 34 5/8.
IBM climbed 2 5/8 to 123 1/4 as vague rumors about an IBM buy out of Novell (NOVL) helped to drive both stocks higher. IBM officials told CNBC late in the day the rumors were false.
Apple's competitors: Dell lost a dollar to 36 11/16. Gateway was higher by 1/2 to 62 1/16. Compaq gained 11/16 to 32 1/8. Shares of Microsoft lost 1/4 to 72 3/16. Hewlett Packard climbed 3 15/16 to 113 15/16.
Intel rose 3 1/8 to 66 15/16. In a break from the Sony Corporation's sole reliance on Intel CPUs for its PCs, the consumer appliance giant selected Transmeta and AMD chips for future Vaio notebook computers.
In economic news: The Commerce Department reported business inventories rising 0.9% in June, that's bigger than the 0.6% increase anticipated by economists. The increase in inventories largely took place in the retail sector where business is struggling to keep pace with robust sales. Rising business sales allowed the inventory-to-sales ratio to remain unchanged in June with 1.32 months left of inventory held at June's sale price.
Wednesday's US consumer price index (CPI) release is expected to confirm the weak inflation data reported early this month.

A boil is a skin infection involving an entire hair follicle and nearby skin tissue.
See also:
Alternative Names
Boils are very common. They are generally caused by the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, but they may be caused by other bacteria or fungi found on the skin's surface. Damage to the hair follicle allows these bacteria to enter deeper into the tissues of the follicle and the tissue underneath.
Boils may occur in the hair follicles anywhere on the body. They are most common on the face, neck, armpit, buttocks, and thighs. There can be one or many boils.
A boil may begin as a tender, pinkish-red, swollen, firm area in the skin. Over time, it will feel like a water-filled balloon or cyst.
Pain gets worse as it fills with pus and dead tissue, and improves as it drains. It may drain on its own. More often the patient or someone else opens the boil.
The boil:
- Is usually pea-sized, but may be as large as a golf ball
- May develop white or yellow centers (pustules)
- May join with another boil or spread to other skin areas
- May grow quickly
- May weep, ooze, or crust
Other symptoms may include:
- Fatigue
- Fever
- General ill-feeling
- Itching before the boil develops
- Skin redness around the boil
Exams and Tests
The health care provider can usually diagnose a boil based on how it looks. A culture may show staphylococcus or other bacteria.
Boils may heal on their own after a period of itching and mild pain. More often, they increase in discomfort as pus collects.
Boils usually must open and drain before they will heal. This usually occurs in less than 2 weeks.
- Warm, moist compresses help boils drain, which speeds healing. Gently soak the area with a warm, moist cloth several times each day.
- Never squeeze a boil or try to cut it open at home. This can spread the infection and make it worse.
- When the boil finally does burst and drain, continue to put warm, wet compresses on the area.
Deep or large boils may need to be drained with surgery by a health care provider. Treatment by a health care provider is needed if:
- A boil lasts longer than 2 weeks
- A boil comes back
- The boil is on the spine or the middle of the face
- The boil occurs with a fever or other symptoms, because the infection may spread and cause complications
Careful hygiene is important:
- Clean draining boils often.
- Wash your hands very well after touching a boil.
- Do not re-use or share washcloths or towels. Wash clothing, washcloths, towels, and sheets or other items that contact infected areas in very hot (preferably boiling) water.
- Change dressings often and throw them out with the drainage, such as by placing them in a bag that can be closed tightly before throwing it out.
Antibacterial soaps and antibiotics placed on the skin are of little help once a boil has formed. Antibiotics taken by mouth or given as a shot may help a more severe infection or if the boil returns.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Some people have repeated abscesses and are unable to prevent them.
Boils can be very painful if they occur in areas like the ear canal or nose. A health care provider should treat boils of the nose.
Boils that form close together may expand and join, causing a condition called carbunculosis.
Possible Complications
- Abscess of the skin, spinal cord, brain, kidneys, or other organ
- Brain infection
- Endocarditis
- Osteomyelitis
- Permanent scarring
- Sepsis
- Spinal cord infection
- Spread of infection to other parts of the body or skin surfaces
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if boils:
- Appear on the face or spine
- Come back
- Do not heal with home treatment within 1 week
- Occur along with a fever, red streaks coming out from the sore, large fluid collections around the boil, or other symptoms
The following may help prevent the spread of infection:
- Antibacterial soaps
- Antiseptic (germ-killing) washes
- Good hygiene (such as thorough handwashing)

No, not El Salvador... Salvador! Where the World Cup is being played
- From: NT News
- June 14, 2014
A DARWIN couple – who held off having kids so they could attend the 2014 World Cup on their honeymoon – have been left devastated after a Casuarina travel agent flew them to the wrong country.
Orin and Melissa van Lingen had been saving money since their wedding in June last year so they could attend the World Cup in Brazil.
It was not until the couple were on their flight from Los Angeles that they realised the travel agent had accidentally booked them tickets to San Salvador – the capital city of the country El Salvador – instead of the Brazilian city Salvador.
El Salvador is about 5000km away from Salvador, which hosted the Spain and Holland match Mr van Lingen desperately wanted to see.
"We assumed there must be connecting flights but it was not until we got into the airport and there were no other flights," Mrs van Lingen told the Sunday Territorian from her hotel room in San Salvador.
"We were completely devastated but hopeful we can leave here to get on another flight," she said.
Attending the World Cup has been Mr van Lingen's dream since he saw the Euro Cup in 2008.
"The game we watched today was the one we had a ticket for, Spain versus Holland, but unfortunately we had to watch it on TV – in a different country," Mrs van Lingen said.
"The hardest part was seeing my husband's face – it was heartbreaking."
Mrs van Lingen said an Escape Travel worker had promised to reimburse them for money lost from accommodation they had booked in Brazil.
Flight Centre Travel Group spokesman Haydn Long said it was a misunderstanding and staff were working with the couple to save their holiday.
"We have provided alternative accommodation and arranged flights to Brazil to ensure their plans are back on track ahead of the next game," Mr Long said.
"In addition, we will continue to work with the customers to see if we can make amends in other ways for the initial error.
"We have apologised and hope the arrangements we are making now will lead to a positive outcome."
Mrs van Lingen scoffed at the claims new flights had been arranged because she said the booked, albeit bungled, itinerary had already included the San Salvador to Rio de Janeiro leg.

We live in Dhaka (Bangladesh), and last year friends from Brisbane booked flights to come and visit us, but when they arrived at the airport, they realised that their travel agent had booked fights to Dakar in Africa (they were so not impressed).

Wecome To San Salvador. El Salvador is not just GANGS. It is a Paradise too, El Salvador is small but has it all.

To show a picture of gang members of El Salvador is like showing aborigine thugs in Alice springs. Not really a true picture is it?

A group of kids pet Baxter the dog before a PEP! The Pet Education Project presentation during a summer camp at Summer Grove Preschool in Shreveport. The group educates children about responsible pet ownership.
- Filed Under
Baxter has to be one of the most tolerant dogs on the planet. Dozens of wound-up little kids try to hug and pet and kiss him at the same time, but he doesn't care. He sits contentedly without so much as a growl or bark as chaos ensues around him, sometimes lying on his side and reveling in the attention.
This was the scene during a recent camp at Summer Grove Preschool in Shreveport, but the same sort of thing plays out all over the area when folks from PEP! The Pet Education Project make an appearance. The nonprofit organization educates children about responsible pet ownership, and they do free ...

Check into any number of Alexandria's boutique hotels or familiar national names, most of which are pet-friendly. Stroll along Old Town's brick-lined streets, glittering under twinkling lights and buzzing with seasonal cheer.
Pause into one of King Street corridor's independent shops and find unique gifts for loved ones like stylish cookware at La Cuisine or craft goods at knitting Mecca fibre space. At the Fish Market, taste famous clam chowder or go to Vermilion Restaurant, La Bergerie or Restaurant Eve.
Alexandria's place as a historic hotspot stretches back centuries, with nine intimate museums in one square mile. See where George Washington used to wine and dine at Gadsby's Tavern Museum or uncover the city's past at The Lyceum, Alexandria's History Museum.
Venture down to George Washington's Mount Vernon on the new Holiday Trolley and tread paths once familiar to some of the key players in American history. Peek in at ephemera belonging to the nation's first president, tour the historic grounds by candlelight or visit with Aladdin the camel, who roams the grounds during the holidays.
While you're out, stop over in colorful Del Ray for award-winning hot chocolate at Artfully Chocolate and a brisk mosey down Mount Vernon Avenue, where you're greeted by friendly shop owners and holiday markets.
Delight in brunch at Fontaine Caffe and Creperie before heading into the Alexandria Black History Museum for an inside look at Alexandria's African-American history from the Civil War to civil rights and beyond.
For a heaping dose of arts and culture, pause in the Atheneaum, a columned Greek revival structure turned art gallery or the Torpedo Factory Art Center, a former munitions factory that, in the seventies, was transformed into 82 working artists' studios, six art galleries and the Alexandria Archaeology Museum.
Along the waterfront, nibble on a quick meal from the newly opened Waterfront Market or amble along the pier and glimpse the national monuments just across the Potomac River.

The endgame to determine the European Union's final shape is underway. It began with the publication by the Praesidium of the Convention on the Future of Europe of a draft of the first sixteen articles of the "Treaty to establish a Constitution for Europe." The text mostly replicates the structure of Convention Chairman Valery Giscard d'Estaing's "skeleton" Constitution, presented last November, and the conclusions reached by the Convention's working groups. The key word here is mostly .
Such fidelity did not hold for economics. Where markets and business are concerned, the draft text stretches the "economic governance" working group's conclusions so as to propose a centralized approach, one strongly tilted to favor social, environmental, and consumer objectives, neglecting economic freedom and the market economy.
Let's start with the sins of omission. The "values" of the Union (Article 2) include peace, justice, equality of all before the law and solidarity. All fine and noble sentiments. But no mention is made of freedom of initiative and enterprise.
Similarly, the "fundamental objectives" of the Union (Article 3) indulge in promises to promote "sustainable" growth, social cohesion and social protection, gender equality, the environment, and consumer protection. The need for a free and well-functioning market economy is not included, though this is the fundamental pre-condition for the high standards of living and social protection that the document's authors advocate so resolutely.
Moreover, the principle of "subsidiarity" is restricted to relations between member states and the Union, or "vertical" subsidiarity. But a richer alternative was available, one that would guarantee a broad right of private individuals (and their associations and organizations) to be protected from unnecessary interference by public powers. There would be a presumption against public intervention and the burden of proof on the need for it--at any level of government--would be shifted to its advocates. This "horizontal" subsidiarity would help ensure that the EU does not interfere unduly with market activity.
But more than the draft's omissions are worrying. Article 11 provides that the Union "shall have competence to coordinate the economic policies of the member states." As if this were not sufficient, Article 13 reiterates that "the Union shall coordinate the economic policies of the member states, in particular by establishing broad guidelines for these policies."
This language implies that member states will no longer be the masters of their broad policy orientations. Instead, these will be entrusted to the Union, presumably with formal Commission powers of initiative in their preparation. National parliaments are expected to surrender their powers graciously.
The crucial surprise in the draft constitution concerns social policy, previously a closed preserve of individual nations. Article 12 places it among the "shared" competences of the Union; Article 10 provides that in this case "member states shall exercise their competence only if and to the extent that the Union has not exercised it." This implies a fundamental reversal of the present approach, whereby social policies belong to member states and the Union has tightly circumscribed powers of intervention, which, in addition, can only be exercised with unanimity.
Until now, European integration worked best when it reduced the role of public (usually national) intervention, thus opening up national markets. Today, it seems, some politicians are no longer satisfied with this so-called "negative" integration. They want much wider latitude to intervene.
For example, the economic governance working group had agreed that monetary policy should be managed at Union level by an independent central bank, the ECB. Fiscal policies should be left with the member states, albeit under the constraints imposed by the EC Treaty (the coordination procedures of Article 99 and the excessive deficits procedure of Article 104).
There was no consensus on including other macroeconomic policies among the Union's "shared competences." Nor was there agreement on the proposal to grant the Euro-Group--the economic and finance ministers of the euro area--formal decision-making powers over the economic policies of EU members.
But the text tabled by the Praesidium opens their way to doing just that. We are presented with the outline of a centralized Union endowed with strong powers to coordinate economic polices and impose a common social policy. The omission of the freedom of private initiative from the values and objectives of the new Europe will influence countless court judgements, which will cause legal doctrine to become biased towards an interventionist stance.
Provisions to coordinate national economic policies are probably less of a danger because they are so vague that they could well remain a dead letter. But including social policy among the shared competences of the Union is potentially much more serious. Together with the emphasis on social values, it invites a process of harmonization of social protection. That will be disastrous for growth and employment, given the enormous and deeply rooted differences in productivity and living standards across the Union.
The good news here is that these ideas are not carved in stone. But only a broad public outcry will convince the Praesidium to scrap this disastrous approach.

I still think we should have kept RR. Especially with all the crap that is going on now. I dont see how you fire the guy without having somebody else lined up. He deserved a 4th year. Sorry about the 3 straight posts.
1. Jim Harbaugh
2. Gary Patterson
3. Chip Kelly
4. Urban Meyer
5. Rich Rodriguez
6. Les Miles
There are no more options. I wish there were some potential FCS coaches, but there are none that would fit the bill (i.e., young and successful).
1. Jim Harbaugh

3. Gary Patterson

6. Lloyd Brady
7. Tom Brady
8. Some diamond in the rough coordinator from ...
9. Somebody else
1001. Brady Hoke
1000002. Lloyd Carr
I'm really surprised we are not making a harder run to get the ghost of Bo.
Then again, since he is a ghost he's not actually a man therefore wouldn't qualify to be called a true "Michigan Man" and thus wouldn't likely be accepted.
As crazy as this has all been, is it that far out there that if we cant find anybody else that we re-hire Rich Rod??? We already un-fired him once.
Whoever we get, I echo Mike Hart's sentiments:
Rich Rod didn't have a chance because no one agreed with the hire from the top to the bottom of the school and all over town," Hart said. "I'm going to be 100 percent behind whoever the coach at Michigan is and I hope everybody that loves Michigan is the same way, too, even if they don't like who Dave Brandon hires.
Yes, even if that means Hoke or Miles.
My criteria is who matches up best against Tressell.
1. Jim Harbaugh
2. Dan Mullen
3. Brian's Patterson / Petersen / Wittingham triplets
6. Les Miles with English as DC and Loeffler as OC
Distant 7. Hoke with English as DC and Loeffler as OC
N/A Any pro coaches like Gruden or Dungy (please) seems too gimmicky
N/A Big college names like Urban Meyer don't see right either, however if we don't get Harbaugh and the alternate coach only lasts 3 years again, maybe Meyer and Harbaugh will be available again.
Yes, she would make a nice coach. The recruits would love her.
1. The ghost of Bo
then I'd go
1. Jim or John Harbaugh
2. Patterson
3. Cam
4. Hoke
Cam Gordon? That's brilliant. And all we have to do is donate to his father's church
#1: Your Mom
#2: Your Wife
#3: Your Sister
Oh snap!
No seriously, I think at this point we have 4 realistic options: Hoke, Miles, Patterson, and Whittingham (not the best year for him)
So then of the options I'd say:
1) Patterson- great coach, he'd be a better get than Harbaugh cause he can coach the spread
2) Hoke- lacks ideal experience, but I love his passion for Michigan football
3) Whittingham- had a great '08 season but has underachieved a bit since then, plus it might be tough to pull him away from the Holy Land
4) Miles- mmmm...artificial grass... anyway, might be a bit too expensive, plus I don't like that potential scholarship scandal
Rich Rod
NEVER Miles or Hoke
1. Jim Harbaugh
2. John Harbaugh
3. Bill Cowher
4. Gary Patterson
5. Chris Petersen
6, Kyle Wittingham
7. Dan Mullen (less attractive w/out Diaz)
8. Brady Hoke
9. Les Miles
Some unlikely candidates who are under the radar as either HC or Coordinator (in no particular order except the first guy because his name is awesome)
Ruffin McNeil
Larry Fedora
Mike Riley
Butch Jones
Jon Tenuta
Jeff Tedford
Bill Cowher
Of those often mentioned already as legit candidates (with some prioritization)
1. Gary Patterson
2. Mike Bellotti
3. Kyle Wittingham
4. Urban Meyer
5. Chris Peterson
Sorry kitty - no Hoke please, and I just have a bad feeling about Mullen.
I don't know a lot about the coordinators/others you mention...other than Jones/Tedford/Cowher (any of which I don't think I could endorse)....but I do like the legit candidate list as it doesn't include Miles or Hoke.
He's HC at East Carolina - I hadn't heard much about him but noticed that as a Coordinator at Texas Tech he helped them make vast improvement quickly on Defense AND special teams.
Sadly, if we were ranking coaches based on their interest in the job then Hoke would be the first and only one on our lists. But, since none of the names you guys are listing have any interest and therefore anything that is sequenced is simply not going to happen, then:
1. Bo
2. Yost
3. Carr
1) Paterson
2) Harbaugh (a pipe dream at this point, I think, but maybe the delay in his NFL search reserves some hope)
3) Anyone but Miles and Hoke
Since this is mythical like the National Championship
1 Jimmy Hardballs
2 Chip Kelly
3 Jon Gruden
4 Coach Taylor (Friday Night Lights TV series)
5 Mark Stoops
6 Les Miles
7 Bud Foster
8 Chris Peterson
9 Patterson
10 Mike Leach
I'm somewhere on the list(around 999,999) just ahead of the coach at San Diego State.(If we don't say his name maybe he'll go away)
Id add Bud Kilmer or Lance Harbor to that list.
Bud's a little shady, but Jason Street has been coming on strong.
1. Ji. Harbaugh
2. G Patterson
3. J. Gruden
4. D. Mullen
5. G. Chizik
2 guys who could come in and not a take any crap from the likes of Beilema. Although, Patterson already did didn't he??
1: J. Harbaugh

5. Brady Hoke
Rich Rod wasn't a hot name candidate last time around early in the process. IIRC, the big names were Miles and Schiano, and Tedford and Hoke were side mentions. RR didn't come up until very late in the game.
So with that in mind, here's a few that aren't being mentioned since nobody mentioned RR early last time around. Not saying I'm huge fans of these guys, but you never know:
Tommy Tuberville
Tim Beckman
Todd Graham
Kevin Sumlin
Robby Hauck

4. Gruden
5. Dungy
6. Mariucci
7. Meyer
8. Belotti
9. Mangini
10. Heater
Under no circumstances should we hire "head case" Miles. I like Hokes quote saying "Michigan is his dream job" but realistically, there is nothing there to prove success is achievable with him as HC at Michigan.
Honestly I would rather have Kansas's old fat ass coach Mangino than Miles.
Okay 1. Dungy is not coming to Michigan. 2. Mariucci hasn't coached since 2005 and he's best friends with Izzo and 3, Mangini? What has he ever done since leaving the Pats DC job? Oh he's gone 33-47 and has gone 23-41 if you ignore his first year at the Jets when he was playing with the previous coach's players. 23-41. Wow.
Cant be any worse results than what we have now

10 Reason ST:DS9 Misjudged
View Single Post
February 9 2013, 09:05 PM
Re: 10 Reason ST:DS9 Misjudged
Before I respond to individual points I need to point out that while there has been some talk about revisionism on the part of those talking up DS9, there has also been plenty of revisionism by those defending TNG over the years. This has come about in the wake of more adult sci fi TV like the new BSG, Firefly, Lost, etc. Those doing the defending make claims that TNG was gritty in its own way, that it did tackle the big issues of the day in sophisticated ways, that it also took chances, that it wouldn't shy away from some of the darker qualities of mankind, etc, etc, etc.
Look I love TNG. What it did it did very well, better than anyone else. No other family sci fi show that was almost strictly episodic provided consistent and smart entertaining hours like TNG. Not Stargate and not even the original Trek. In fact TNG may have been better at what it did (providing great episodic television) than DS9 was at what it did (providing a hybrid semi-episodic/semi-serialized TV). Nonetheless Roddenberry's intent was to make TNG a more idealized and a more progressive vehicle than his previous Trek. He did not want conflict, he did not want human failing and immorality, he wanted quick and progressive solutions administered to any conflicts. He had no room for intolerance or religious beliefs when it came to his main (and mostly human) lead characters for this new Enterprise. And while the writers and producers, especially after Roddenberry's death, did their best to maneur around these guidelines, for the most part they kept those guidelines firmly in place.
As a Star Trek nut at the time DS9 came around, I got my hands on every article, every behind-the scenes book, and every magazine that dealt with the Trek franchise. And I would check out the relatively new phenom known as the internet in the immediate following years to get even more of a feedback of what people were saying about Trek. I recall clearly all the criticism thrown by many towards DS9. The criticism would come from professional critics, sci fi novelists being interviewed or the quotes from Trekkers in convention halls. The problem they had with DS9 were : (1)the characters fought too much and therefore not likable; (2) the first season was boring; (3) too much stuff about Bajor and religion and politics which was also boring; (4) the infighting amongs the crew was too different from the smooth sailing of TNG and not what Roddenberry would have wanted for a modern Trek show; (5) they never went anywhere/how could it be a Star Trek show without a ship taking them to different planets; (6)they really liked Quark (the non Starfleet characters were initially the most popular) but could not stomach Ferengi-centered episodes; (7) they wanted more action and were waiting on something bigger to happen; and they didn't care for Sisko and liked Avery Brooks even less.
Also there were quite a number of people who were huge fans of TNG but decided to attach their wagons to Babylon 5 instead of DS9. TNG was like some huge empire whose demise eventually led to multiple factions diving up the old bloc into different territories, including one for Stargate which popped up first on Showtime. People DID Take sides. When VOY came along that was another faction. Yes, there were millions out there who would watch both DS9 and VOY and millions who would watch those shows as well as B5, SG-1 and any other sci fi show they came across (Andromeda). But there were also millions out there who picked only one as worthy as their post-TNG loyalty. That included those who used to watch TNG but then "grew up" by moving on to the new fan fave "The X-Files". Hell, some simply stuck with the TNG movies and/or old eps of TOS and TNG and gave up on all new sci fi TV series in general.
As for the argument over whether DS9 was "darker" the most important point to keep in mind was that was how it was initially sold to the public and mainstream media. You can see such descriptions in those countless TV Guide articles that mag used to do for Trek. Only when there were signs that DS9 wasn't generating the excitement, loyalty and devotion of TNG did TPTB tried to walk back from that description by claiming it was not really any darker than other Trek shows. Whether they were right or wrong they had their motives in defusing that whole "dark" description. By the time VOY arrived on the scene the producers and writers had gotten the message. All those attached to VOY emphasized that the show was going to be more like TNG than DS9, that it was going to go back to the TNG method in which there weren't conflicts (which is why the Maquis was so quickly folded into the Starfleet community on the ship) and that the show was going to follow TNG's approach of planet-hopping every week. They couldn't come out and directly slam DS9 but they indirectly made it clear VOY was to be the anti-DS9 and would not experiment with that show's more darker elements. They kept emphasizing Roddenbery's vision of the future as what they were trying to follow.
Yes, this all happened and most of this is actually mentioned or hinted at in this "10 Reason ST
S9 was Misjudged" article. I was there to witness this stuff. I had friends and family members who did some of the very things I mentioned above. I had contact to the new message forums on the internet to read remarks by people who didn't care for DS9 and those remarks were similar to the ones covered in this article. So for some of you to claim that the writer is off track with his assessment is a bit much. There were maybe a couple of things he included that didn't belong as well as a couple of examples that he failed to use. But for the most part he got it right. Now if you disagree with those facts I tossed out based upon my own experience and argue that this position of mine is simply my opinion then so be it. But your counters, which I find lacking in evidence, is also merely an opinion. So what makes yours more legit than mine or vice versa?
Halftime is over. I'll come back later to respond to individual posts once I'm done with my game watching.
You will be missed, Richard Biggs

Gary Lighthouse Charter School
Gary, IN 46408
About This School
Charter schools are public schools, but differ from traditional public schools in that they are independent and are operated by educators, parents, community leaders, educational entrepreneurs, or others. Funding for charter schools is based on designated local or state educational organizations. Those organizations are responsible for monitoring and assessing the quality and effectiveness of education, but permit the schools to operate outside of the traditional public school education system. See Gary Lighthouse Charter School's test results to learn more about school performance.
In 2011, Gary Lighthouse Charter School had 21 students for every full-time equivalent teacher. The Indiana average is 18 students per full-time equivalent teacher.

Gary Lighthouse Charter School Reviews
To play devil's advocate to the review above, what do you think is going to happen to your son in high school? He is going to be mixed with kids of all ages...so really, mixing 6th and 7th graders isn't such a bad thing. They mixed the kids after placement testing to teach groups of children to their specific levels, instead of having high, medium, and low kids all mixed up in one classroom. That way they can target specific needs and hone in on skill sets that are lacking. The students were NEVER told whether they were in a high, medium, or low homeroom...so how do you call that experience humiliating? Is it because you child was in 7th grade and there were younger kids in his class? How about being happy that your child attends a school where they don't just cater to the medium and low kids, but care enough to push the high performing kids as well? There was a memo that went home to parents about this change and there was an automated text message when they changed back...as well as another letter, new schedules, and a parent meeting. Perhaps your child didn't give you the letter...so maybe some blame should be on him? Did you attend the parent meeting?
As far as a teacher's hair goes, are you implying that if a teacher has an edgy or modern hairstyle that they are incapable of properly teaching a child and getting them to grow and pass the ISTEP? Are you saying that if they have more than ONE ear piercing they shouldn't be teachers? I am a teacher and have THREE holes in EACH ear...and they are all filled with diamonds, just shy of 2 carats to be exact...totaling almost $4000. I received each set of diamonds for a milestone in my life (high school graduation, 21st birthday, 18th birthday) and I wear them with pride...my students also make significant gains in my classroom each year.
It's a shame that your child had to sit in the office for an entire day after being in an altercation with another student...and if his lip was bleeding for 8 hours it's even more unfortunate because he probably needed stitches or at least to be seen by a doctor...but are taking any ownership for your son fighting at school? Children who tend to mind their p's and q's don't get into fights...so something had to be going on there...and you didn't mention bullying in your rant, so that obviously wasn't the cause of your sons brawl.
Lighthouse isn't for everyone...that is true. They have high expectations for their scholars. Their teachers, however horrible their hair choices may be, work tirelessly to provide a top notch education for children. Perhaps those teachers could have made more of an effort to call you, but did you have their numbers and call them to check on your son? Everything you complained about was trivial in the big picture.
Be aware!!!
I have never in all my parenting years experienced such unprofessional admin and staff. My son was constantly suspended and I was never informed by staff or admin. I beg them to keep in contact with me, being that we are new to the area and school. My son has never had any problems similar to the problems he is having now. During parent teacher conference I noticed one teacher with 2 pierced ears (earrings in them) and one teacher with a punk rock hair style!! Really? Teachers are screaming and yelling how they need more parents to be involved. This is opposite; the teachers do not involve the parents. My son was suspended for fighting while changing classes. He sat in the school with a bloody lip and knots on his head for hours. No one notified me until the end of the school day. My observation, they knew I wanted answer, and they were not willing to provide me with any. Also, humiliating enough the students was moved around after placement testing; my son noticed he was in a class with 6-7 graders. I never received any letter or phone call stating why or the procedures moving forward. you"re looking for a school that does not involve parents, this school is perfect.

Zhao Cangyun (Chinese, active late 13thearly 14th century)
Handscroll: ink on paper; 8 1/2 in. x 18 ft. 6 1/4 in. (.22 x 5.64 m)
Ex coll.: C. C. Wang Family, Partial and Promised Gift of the Oscar L. Tang Family, 2005 (2005.494.1)
Painted by Zhao Cangyun, a member of the Song royal family who lived through the Mongol conquest in 1279, this handscroll chronicles the legend of two Han-dynasty men who stumble upon a magical realm of immortals. Returning home after what had seemed like half a year's time, they discover that seven generations have come and gone and that they are alone in the world. The men's loss of home and paradise evokes the disorientation and alienation the Chinese elite must have felt after the Song dynasty fell to the Mongols. Delineated in rich shades of monochrome ink on paper in a style that revives the monochrome drawing manner of the scholar-artist Li Gonglin (ca. 10411106), the story unfolds as an episodic narrative, with individual scenes set off from one another by blank spaces inscribed with text. In the section illustrated here, Liu and Ruan are guests at an elaborate outdoor banquet.
Because he never married or served as an official and withdrew to the mountains to live as a recluse, we know nothing about Zhao Cangyun except what is contained in several later colophons, which tell us that he was known for ink wash landscapes and delicate figure paintings.

You are, in fact, wrong -- quantum computers aren't as powerful as you think they are.
The problem is that for what you describe as "root finding" a naive quantum computer only gets a quadratic speedup. Your 256^1000 possibilities still take on the order of 256^500 steps to search.
With that said, if you can build a computer around a closed timelike curve ("time travel") it would be powerful enough to do what you want. The idea here is that the computation starts off by receiving a value from the future, call it N, which it should test out to see if it is a solution. If N is the solution it reports back N at the end, otherwise it reports N+1.
There's a large gap between the economy not being zero sum and an infinite pie.
In the actual story. You might know it as the thing nobody reads before posting comments.
while the extra centripetal acceleration draws blood out closer to my fingertips.
I think you mean "centrifugal force". Note that a centripetal acceleration/force would be pulling your blood back inwards from your fingertips; you're looking for the equal and opposite force that is pulling the blood away.
Physics teachers who say that there is no such thing as centrifugal force are lying; it is every bit as real as gravity. It is a white lie, with the point of avoiding accelerating non-inertial reference frames. Such physics classes will show that centrifugal force is entirely explained by inertia in a reference frame undergoing centripetal acceleration. That's great.
Here's the problem: those same classes will regularly describe gravity as a force. The thing is, once you study general relativity you realize that gravity (and in particular the 9.8 m/s^2 acceleration you feel downward) has exactly the same explanation; space-time is curved by the mass of the Earth such that the surface of the Earth needs to accelerate upwards at 9.8 m/s^2 in order to remain "in place".
In other words, centrifugal force is entirely as real as gravity. If it is centrifugal force that makes your blood move out, don't be afraid to say it.
Putting money in every paycheck is great and exactly the way to go, but isn't "dollar cost averaging". Dollar cost averaging is something else and entirely bogus.
Suppose you get $120K. DCA advocates would tell you to invest, say, $10K of it every month into your preferred asset allocation, rather than investing it all at once.
On the other hand, suppose your cat walks over your keyboard while you're logged into your brokerage and sells $120K of stock. Do you invest it $10K at a time or do you just reverse your transaction immediately? Hopefully it is obvious that you do the latter -- but this scenario is exactly equivalent to the first one.
Just because something is done by 9th graders doesn't necessarily mean its flawed
The study isn't flawed because it was done by 9th graders. The study is flawed because it didn't control for a bunch of obvious things which would explain their result.
You must be new here.
The starting salary for a new college grad software engineer at the big tech companies in the SF Bay area is well over $70K.
There are a number of fringe arguments that the sixteenth amendment, allowing an income tax, wasn't properly ratified.
If you're going to do a comparison like this you really need to count just the 23 special wards (14,485 per square kilometer). Tokyo the prefecture-equivalent "metropolis" includes a lot of areas which are essentially suburban sprawl west of Tokyo -- the Tama area. I don't think anyone would really consider, for example, Hachioji to be part of Tokyo the city, but it is a substantial fraction of Tokyo metropolis -- and if you're coming up with a number as low as 6,810 you're including it.
This is complicated by the fact there is no longer a government for Tokyo City, which is what used to be the 23 wards. The wards themselves are cities, somewhat comparable to a more independent and smaller form of NYC Boroughs. Conversely, Tokyo metropolis would be something like a separate State of New York City which includes both the Boroughs and Long Island and a couple of small islands in the Caribbean.
With that said, there's no ward of Tokyo which is as dense as Manhattan. mostly because there aren't a lot of tall buildings. The technology to build earthquake resistant skyscrapers is relatively new compared to a lot of the construction.
You don't need to itemize to deduct student loan interest -- and conversely, the amount of student loan interest you deduct doesn't affect whether you'd itemize or not.
This is a standard strategy, which I've seen referred to as "turboing", which is particularly effective when standard channels fail. The key point is that, really, you're not trying to speak to senior management, you're trying to speak to the PA of someone in senior management.

I think the EOS 1N is the quiest camera I've ever held...
But I suppose this is subjective. Being profoundly deaf probably doesn't help my recommendation!
But in a tactile sense, it definitely is quiet: solid, business-like, gets it done then finishes. No complaints, and never had people eyeball me if it is bracketing rapidly.
Methinks street photography has a lot of ambient noise and a camera like the 1N is unlikely to make an impression against it.

Old Bank Barns: What to Look for When Buying a Farm
If you are looking to buy a farm there is a good chance that you have seen many old-style bank barns. Some are in excellent shape, others are barely standing. When your goal is to keep horses in that barn, it is important that you know what to look for.
Going in the Door
When looking at a bank barn, you need to start from the first place you go in, the door. Many bank barns have only small doorways, better suited to small animals like goats or sheep. When considering a barn for equine use, you need to make sure that the main doorway is at least 4' wide. The doorframes should be high enough that a horse can easily pass under it without having to drop its head excessively.
There should be at least two entrances, one for regular use, and one in case of emergency. Once you pass through the doorway there needs to be adequate space for the horse to enter safely, and move into the aisle to get to his stall.
Check the Ceiling
Far too many horses have been hurt or killed by hitting their heads on a too low ceiling. Many old bank barns have low ceilings that are not suited to horses. Others have a decent ceiling, but have beams that drop excessively low. You need at least a 7' ceiling in a barn, preferably 8' or more. That gives the horses plenty of head room and decreases the risk of injury to the poll.
Look at the Floor
Many bank barns have cement floors. This isn't too bad if the floor is even, but often it consists of many raised sections, and even places with no cement at all. These irregular floors are not safe for horses. You will need to break out the cement so that the floor is level throughout the barn. This is a lot of work, and involves laying a new floor once the cement is gone.
Where Will Your Horse Stay?
Many old bank barns were built with animals other than horses in mind. Some will have cattle stanchions, while others will have stalls that are too large or too small for the average horse. Consider that you may need to tear out what is currently in the barn, and replace it with stalls that are better suited to your animals.
A Solid Foundation
As the years pass, bank barns sometimes lose stability. The old stone walls begin to lean or sag. Sometimes the damage is minor and will last many years before needing repair. Other times the damage is such that the wall may collapse without warning. If you plan to use the barn for any length of time, it is essential to choose a barn that has a solid foundation. If there is some degree of damage, it is worth having an expert assess it so you know how much it would cost to repair.
Above the Head
Finally, you need to investigate the hay loft. Check that the ladder or stairwell to the loft is solid and secure. The loft itself should have strong floorboards that can support your hay without risk of breaking. While most bank barns will have some loose boards, there should not be excessive gaps in the sides of the loft. If you plan to store hay up there it is important that it be protected from the elements.
Don't Settle
The barn is your horse's safe haven in times of foul weather. It is essential that the barn not only be comfortable, but also that it is safe and secure. It is not worth compromising on the structure of a barn just to get a deal on a property. The costs of repair and maintenance will quickly outstrip the savings you get on the sale price.

Samsung, Universal Display team on greener OLEDs
updated 08:15 am EDT, Tue August 23, 2011
Samsung and Universal Display sign PHOLED deal
Samsung Mobile Display has teamed with Universal Display in a push for lower-power OLED displays. The two companies have entered into a licensing agreement that will allow Samsung to use Universal Display's PHOLED technology in its OLED panels. Phosphorescent OLED panels can consume up to four times less power than OLED panels without the technology, which will translate to substantially longer battery life for mobile device users.
While PHOLED technology has been implemented for commercial use since around 2003, Universal Display has refined it to the point where it has resulted in reductions in power consumption not previously thought possible from OLED displays.
Under the license agreement, Universal Display has granted Samsung license rights to manufacture and sell phosphorescent OLED display products. Under a supplemental agreement, Samsung has also agreed to purchase from Universal Display a minimum amount of phosphorescent OLED material for Samsung's use in the manufacture of licensed products.
The agreements run through December 31, 2017.

SALT LAKE CITY — An incident in which a Granite School District special-needs student fell from a moving bus onto a freeway could have been avoided if the driver and aide on board had followed the district's policies, according to district officials. Officials arrived at this conclusion after wrapping up an investigation of the accident, which occurred on June 20. As SBF reported last month, the student sustained no broken bones but had several lacerations. In this latest development, The Salt Lake Tribune reports that the 15-year-old boy opened the bus' rear emergency exit door and jumped out because he was apparently confused by the route and was trying to get home.Granite spokesman Ben Horsley told the newspaper that the driver and aide on the bus were "negligent in their responsibilities." Initially, both employees did not hear an alarm that was triggered when the door opened, and between 60 and 90 seconds passed between the time the boy jumped off the bus and the driver pulled over.Per district policy, bus drivers are required to look in their rearview mirrors every 8 seconds to check on students, and aides are supposed to sit where they can easily assist and monitor every student on the bus. Usually, the aide sits in the middle, but on this bus the aide was sitting at the front. "The location of the aide on the bus was highly inappropriate," Horsley told The Salt Lake Tribune. "A number of policies were violated. It does appear, if they had been followed, this incident could have been avoided completely."Both the aide and the driver have chosen to retire as opposed to facing disciplinary action by the district. In August, as part of their annual training, Granite School District drivers and aides will discuss the incident and how it could have been avoided, according to The Salt Lake Tribune.

From a driver: most schools do not let the driver know any thing that is on a
childs IEP, there for most drivers do not have a clue of what is going on with
a child. The Driver is at fault for not haveing the aid sitting in the middle
of the bus
I believe that if someone would have reviewed this childs IEP it would have stated somewhere that he had elopement issues or atleast that he gets agitated when the normal route is deviated from. another example of how important it is that the bus staff are famialliar with the students IEP.

About one-quarter of the nearly 4,000 lieutenants on the Army's new basic-branch captains list will be promoted by March 1.
The 1,063 Army Competitive Category captain promotions are in addition to the 517 advancements to the chief warrant officer ranks, major lieutenant colonel and colonel scheduled for March 1. Ten officers in the Medical Specialist Corps also will advance to captain.
With a pressing shortage of captains, the Army has made some of the promotions off the new list retroactive.
The back-dated advancements total 68 for Jan. 19, 383 for Jan. 20 and 302 for Feb. 1.
A forecast developed by the Office of the G-1 at the Pentagon calls for 310 Army Competitive Category promotions to captain on March 1, 133 to major, 104 to lieutenant colonel and 36 to colonel.
When the special branches are factored into the mix, March promotions will total 54 to colonel, 118 to lieutenant colonel, 142 to major and 320 to captain.
Basic-branch officers of the Amy Competitive Category will, on average, have 22 years and 11 months of commissioned service when promoted to colonel; 16 years and 10 months to lieutenant colonel; eight years and 10 months to major; and 38 months to captain.
In the chief warrant officer grades, 203 will be promoted.
The annual Army Competitive Category captain board met Oct. 24 through Nov. 7.
The zones of consideration were comprised primarily of officers in Year Group 2004, including 4,363 first lieutenants of the basic line branches.
The board recommended 4,290 officers for promotion, for an overall selection rate of 98.1 percent.
The select rate is consistent with the O-3 board results of recent years.

Dear Abby: Should I tell my boss that more than a few people have come to me asking if he is fooling around with a woman here in the office? He is married; she is not. They spend a lot of time together "just visiting," laughing and obviously flirting. They have also been seen coming and going together, having lunch together every day, etc.
My reaction is that whether they are or aren't, it isn't my business. A little voice keeps telling me that, as his personal secretary, he may want to be made aware that people are talking about him behind his back, and I do feel protective and a sense of loyalty to him. Understand that I do not want to discuss it with him, have verification, denial or anything else -- only to give him the information.
-- Vascillating
Dear Vascillating: If there is anything going on in your employer's business that distracts from the work his employees are doing, he should be made aware.
Dear Abby: A few years ago, I relocated to a new state and bought my first home. I have enjoyed the privacy, but because of the economy, I may need to rent my extra room to make ends meet.
I am used to a clothing-optional lifestyle and spend most of my time outdoors sunning, swimming and doing yard work in the buff. I also enjoy being indoors lounging, doing chores and sleeping the same way.
Would it be OK for me to advertise for someone who also enjoys this? Can I continue my lifestyle "au naturel"?

Dear Nude Dude: Your best bet would be to Google "nudists (or naturists) in Nevada.
Dear Abby: My husband and I love each other and have three children, but we struggle in our marriage because of the stress of daily life. Lack of money has taken a toll. Sometimes we both work two jobs. Other times we find ourselves faced with difficult choices -- like whether to buy groceries or pay the electric bill or the mortgage.
Can you share any resources for those of us who do not have the money or the insurance coverage to pay for counseling?
-- Holding On
Dear Holding On: Because you are unable to afford a private therapist, contact your county department of mental health and ask what services are available for people with limited resources. The psychology department at your nearest college or university may also be able to help during this difficult time.

Some of the best big bands in Central New York aren't even made up of professional musicians.
But the students who play in groups such as Syracuse Department of Parks & Recreation Stan Collella All-Star Band, the West Genesee High School Jazz Band, the Corcoran High School Jazz Ensemble, and the Manlius Pebble Hill Jazz Combo certainly play like professionals. These kids swing, big-time!
Those bands will be among the 15 scholastic jazz acts performing at the 2008 JGB Syracuse Jazz Fest on Friday and Saturday, June 27-28, at Onondaga Community College.
West Genny vocalist
The West Genesee Jazz Band, directed by Steve Frank, a talented trombonist himself, plays jazz fest at 8:30 p.m. Saturday, June 28, just before headliner Chaka Khan performs at 9 p.m. on the adjacent Y94 Main Stage.
The 19-piece band will perform tunes such as "Avalon," "Caravan" and "Blues in the Closet."
"'Avalon' is from Natalie Cole's book and features our great bassist, Jordan Morton, as well as our excellent vocalist, Lauren Sageer," Frank said.
Other featured soloists include tenor saxophonists David Pond and Ben Seigal; baritone player Genevieve Brigida; alto player Brandon Valerino; pianist Dylan Price; and drummer Kevin Mixon, Jr.
The OCC Jazz Band
The Onondaga Community College Jazz Band, also under the direction of Steve Frank, will perform at 9 p.m. Friday, June 27.
"In 2008, despite the nation-wide economic downturn, we've made it a priority to maintain the festival's education programs at full-strength," said Jazz Fest Founder Frank Malfitano. "Our new two-stage format this year will give student musicians the same prime-time audience exposure the festival's professional headliners enjoy. The National Grid Scholastic Stage will be positioned right next to the Y94FM Main Stage, so it's a real high-profile venue which will certainly enhance and elevate the students' performance level."

I woke up this morning thinking about Tricia, who is in surgery right now to determine if her lump is cancerous. I've never met Tricia, but the weird thing about this Momastery place is that if you hang around long enough, you end up caring a whole lot about the other Monkees. A whole lot. Consider yourself warned. So for a good twenty minutes I laid in bed and worried about Tricia and her husband and her two little boys and her baby girl who always wears these big beautiful bows on her teeny little head. Each of the big bows sings "My mommy loves me thiiiiiiiiiisss much." Anyway, I just laid there and wondered what to do about all that.
I want us to take care of each other here. In fifty years I want 60 Minutes to do a show about us Monkees. We will be old and hunched over and gray and gorgeous and we will have hot pink canes, tattoos, and God willing, better bangs by then. The reporter will describe us as a group of little old ladies who met on the internet, encouraged one other each day, and laughed and cried their way through life together. A group of ladies who made a difference for each other, and for the world. The reporter will end our segment by announcing that the Monkees agreed with whoever it was who said, "What are we here for, if not to lighten each other's loads?"
I read a post of Tricia's the other day about how people are always saying they're praying for her and her lump, but sometimes she gets suspicious. I understood what she meant. Sometimes you're in my prayers just feels like something we say, doesn't it? Well, I want to be sure of my prayers today. I want to pray big for Tricia, and I want her to know it.
So today, I'm going to hitch my prayers to actions. Specifically, I'm going to do some Random Acts of Kindness, some loving things I wouldn't normally take the time to do, and I'm going to dedicate them to Tricia. In short: God's gonna give me some nice things to do today, and I'm gonna do them, and then I'm gonna say:
Kay, God. That was my prayer for Tricia. Signed, Sealed, Delivered. Help her, please.
I think all the love we offer makes its way to our intended, even if it's initially given to a stranger. Sometimes when the kids and I are sitting out on the dock with our feet in the water, we see a boat way off in the distance. And a long time later, just when we've forgotten all about that boat, these little teeny waves lick our toes. I think maybe prayers and kindness work like that. Like little waves.
If you are a Monkee in need of your own RAK day, please let me know. We'll dedicate a whole day to you. We'll pay for a stranger's coffee, smile at a frowny lady, offer somebody the benefit of the doubt, or maybe even be kinder to ourselves than necessary, all on your behalf.
And God will look down at us and say:"WELL, WELL, WELL. WHO is responsible for all of this extra love today?"
And we will point at you and say: "SHE is. Help her, please."
And He will. HE WILL. He'll make sure our waves find their way to your toes.
I love you Monkees. Especially you today, Tricia. I'm gonna love hard for you, sister.

November 27, 2015
The Dothan School Board decided last night to fire a Northview High School teacher accused of assaulting a student.
In a private meeting, board members met for over six hours to reach their decision on terminating 25-year-old Jason Woodham's contract.
It all stems from an altercation with a student two months ago.
School officials say the Northview High English teacher apparently lost his temper and pushed a student after being talked back to in class.
Woodham was in his second year of teaching at Northview. The decision comes after Woodham resigned and then withdrew his resignation. School officials say a replacement for Woodham will be hired sometime before the next school year begins.
No word on whether Woodham will appeal the board's decision.

3rd FTW
4th not FTW
Whoo, Team GB is 3rd! I can't wait until 2012 - a friend of mine is training to compete in the gymnasticsAnd well done to the British girl (sorry, forgot the name) who got bronze in the tae kwon do - first British person ever to get a medal in that event
Damn, 4th now I remember the name now - Sarah Stevenson. Well done to her, she was right to argue back, she deserved that bronze.
Meh, Canada is in sixteenth, so I'm not interested. >_>
Wait till the winter Olympics and hockey gets into the picture. Everything else is minor.
No offense but what country besides Canada is real major on hockey?
Ever heard of Pakistan? You know, the five-time world champions and 3-time gold medalists?
Do your homework next time.
No offense but what country besides Canada is real major on hockey?
That is entirely stereotypical.
Honestly, there ARE other countries!
No actually i havent imagine that! I pretty much live in the south and all we really know about is football and track .

The Next 24 Hours – Sunny Saturday
It is rare for us to have this kind of tranquility in November, so enjoy it while it lasts! There are some long-range signs of a change to more "active" weather (don't read too far into that) by the last week of this month and the first of December. That means we will probably make up for lost time with some rain by next weekend, but this weekend looks great! It is starting out cold both Saturday morning and Sunday morning, but the afternoons will be about as close to "normal" as it gets: highs in the mid-60s.
The wind will be light and the sky mostly sunny, so if you have outdoor plans, there are no worries about weather problems on Saturday! Find out about the forecast through the Thanksgiving Holiday at WHNT.com/Weather.
Climate Data for November 17th
Sunrise: 6:23 AM
Sunset: 4:41 PM
Average High: 63 Record 81 (1958)
Average Low: 41 Record 19 (1943)
Hours of Daylight: 10:17 (1 minute shorter)
It's hard to believe we are nearing the end of the college football season already! Here are some early looks at games involving teams from Alabama and Tennessee this weekend:
Alabama vs. Western Carolina – 11:21 AM, Saturday – Bryant-Denny Stadium:
Expect a nice day in Tuscaloosa Saturday! Temperatures for the early kick-off will be around 59 degrees. By the fourth quarter, it will be in the 63-65º range with a sunny sky and a light northeast breeze. For tailgating after the game, it will be a nice afternoon! Temps will drop below 50º again by 8:00 PM on campus.
Alabama A&M at Auburn – 1:00 PM, Saturday – Jordan-Hare Stadium:
The weather on the Plains should make for a nice football atmosphere when Alabama A&M and Auburn get kicked off Saturday afternoon. Temperatures will start out around 62º with a mostly sunny sky. Expect a light northeast breeze and a slow drop into the upper 50s by the end of the game. Post-game tailgating looks comfortable, but it will get a little chilly after sunset!
Vanderbilt vs. Tennessee – 6:00 PM, Saturday – Vanderbilt Stadium:
Pregame tailgating in Nashville will be comfortably cool. The high in Nashville on Saturday will top out near 59º with a sunny sky and a light north breeze. The Vols and the Commodores get kicked off Saturday evening with a clear sky and chilly temperatures. Kick-off temps will be in the upper 40s, but it will fall down into the 42-44º range by game's end in Nashville.
But if you're hanging around the Tennessee Valley to do the Galaxy of Lights, the Athens Downtown Christmas Open House, or anything else outdoors, here's how temperatures will change throughout the day:

I agree that the Borg got screwed over by bad writing. That never happened to the Cardassians--and I think the fact that they were set up as so multifaceted from the very beginning meant that viewers were less likely to infer the actions of one Cardassian onto another.

Yeah, but the Dominion sure tried, the Bastards
. I guess the writers through that near Genocide would be poetic justice for the Occupation of Bajor
As to the Borg, after BOBW the Borg lost their appeal to me they became to easy to defeat and in the end became a running joke. Space Vampires!
Stargate did a much better job of it with the Wraith.
The Borg should have only appeared in 2-3 eps max and been established as a vague unknown threat.

Hijacked buildings cost Joburg R8bnComment on this story
Johannesburg - The City of Joburg is losing about R8 billion a year in income from illegally occupied buildings and houses.
In some areas of the city, mainly La Rochelle and Rosettenville, about 50 percent of the houses have been "hijacked".
Testifying in a case against two building hijackers – who were convicted in the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court earlier this month – Victoria Ramala, City of Joburg assistant director of the fraud investigation department, testified that about 50 percent of properties in areas such as Rosettenville, La Rochelle, Moffat View and Turffontein had been hijacked, and that only about 50 percent of owners actually recovered their properties.
The crime is now also rife in Yeoville, Bellevue and Berea.
She said that while building hijacking had declined in the CBD from 1 000 to 100, it was now spreading into the suburbs.
Ramala was testifying in the case against Njabulo Mkhwanazi and Stanford Vusi Mringi, who attempted to hijack 16 blocks of flats managed by an agency in Rosettenville.
They each received eight years' imprisonment for fraud and two years for contraventions of the Prevention of Illegal Eviction Act (Pie).
Mringi also received five years' imprisonment for the attempted extortion, as well as three months' imprisonment for being an undocumented foreigner in South Africa.
Ramala testified that hijacking resulted in falling property prices and in suburbs being held hostage to drugs, shebeens, murder, child trafficking and prostitution.
Investigators were often put on hit lists.
She said the City of Joburg investigators' offices had been broken into and laptops and files stolen. The council was forced to hire armed guards and put in new security systems.
Magistrate Hein Louw, in sentencing the two, said sentences in terms of Pie were "shockingly inappropriate".
"This offence must be rooted out for our wonderful city to go forward, and we need to rid ourselves of this scourge," he said, adding that legislation to tackle these problems was sorely lacking.
He said the legislature should develop the common law to include fixed and corporeal property in the offence of theft and should provide a protection programme for State witnesses.
The organised syndicates had connections in sheriffs' offices, police and courts.
Louw said that where an offence was rife, such as in the case under consideration, and there was a wilful disregard of others' rights in property and, despite heavy punishment, the offence was still rife, then reform was not the most important aspect in sentencing.
"The court took note of the prevalence of this offence in its jurisdiction. It did not happen on the spur of the moment but was carefully planned," he said.
Louw added that landlords could not access their properties, could not effect repairs and could not pay their utility bills. The City of Joburg lost income and the vicious circle continued, he said.
Louw said the accused were far from being the "camp fighters" for the poorest of poor – instead they had exploited them further.
In summing up the State's case, the prosecutor, who asked not to be named, told the magistrate careful planning was done in the process of hijacking buildings, such as putting their own tenants in, the forming of the Johannesburg South Tenants' Association, arranging marches, and sending representatives to housing board tribunal hearings.
She said it was a difficult crime to investigate and to prosecute as witnesses were transient, intimidated and often foreigners who were too afraid to talk.
She said the motive for the crime was clear – to benefit financially.

Every time I make a pumpkin soup it takes me back in time to a past life when I was in chef's school learning the arts of the culinary craft. One of our tutors was this rather obnoxious but very talented French chef, and although I can't remember his name, there are two vivid memories that still stick out in my mind:
Sounds like good advice to me and it's a tip I still follow to this day. And in terms of flavour, I think it beats those heavily processed little stock cubes that are filled with uncountable questionable ingredients.
Try it and see. You'll thank me after!
Feeds 5-6
Sauté gently, with the lid on, stirring frequently to prevent from sticking, for around 10 minutes or until golden and transparent.
Meanwhile wash the lentils by tipping them into a sieve, and placing them under running water. Stir them around with your hand to wash off any dirt or grit.
Peel the butternut squash, scoop out the seeds and cut it into rough dice (see the video below).
When the onion mix is ready, pour in the water and bring to the boil. Add the lentils and the pumpkin and reduce the heat to a light boil.
Set your timer for 17 minutes.
When the timer rings, check your pumpkin & lentils, they should both be tender. If not, continue cooking a few minutes more. Take the pot off the heat and blend until smooth either with a stick blender, or in a standard upright blender.
Pour the coconut milk into the pot of blended soup and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve with chopped coriander.
I totally agree about not needing to add stock cubes. I prefer to know exactly what flavours I am adding.
Keep the recipes coming! I intend to try them all.
I just made this tonite, we are unable to eat onions so used zucchini. I have many many winter squash in garden and was just looking for something new. LOVED this recipe, and though I was dubious about not using stock, it clearly did not need it, thanks
Beautiful photography! Will be making this on the weekend. Sounds delicious!
I have made all sorts of winter squash soups over the years, but had never thought of adding lentils. I am now making my second batch having devoured the last over a week! I live at altitude so I found I had to cook the lentils (or any other bean/legume) in the pressure cooker seperately to get them soft enough to blend without being grainy (I even used my Vitamix) I also roasted the squash in the oven. I added the bean cooking water while blending – I hate throwing it away-it has so much flavor! Thank you for opening me up to a more well rounded (nutritionally speaking) and delicious (tastebud speaking ;) way to make one of my favorite types of soups!!
just made this, without the lentils (had none at hand), and it was amazing!! thanks for sharing!
So glad you liked! It's certainly one of those reliable recipes that never fails to satisfy. And you're totally right- it still rocks, even without the lentils ;-)
The idea of adding red lentils was GREAT. I'd already had the rest started when I found this recipe, and I dashed downstairs to add in a half cup to the already-boiling water. Made it much more filling and substantial, as well as adding a nice earthy rich flavour. The coconut was also a brilliant bit of inspiration, contributing an amazing sweetness (I used almond/coconut milk).
I didn't have any cilantro on hand, but I used all of the pumpkin spices: ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg. I added a bit of cayenne, not enough to make it burning spicy, but enough to leave a nice warmth in your mouth after each spoonful (I also do this with hot chocolate). I also tried adding some turmeric, but it ended up overpowering the more subtle flavours, even though I added only a very little. Although it was overpowering, the flavour did still fit, and it was delicious. I wouldn't add it in future, but it sparked the idea of making pumpkin curry!
Lastly, I found that there was no need to peel the butternut squash, since the skin is so thin, and you'd lose so much of the squash from peeling. When I usually bake it in the oven, I just end up eating the skin anyways, and I figured that it would work here as well. It was better, in fact, because once blended you never noticed the waxy texture of the skin.
I literally just made this and decided to comment while the recipe was still open on my computer, because it is THAT delicious! I was a bit worried that I would find the coconut cream too strong, but it is just the perfect touch!
This will certainly become a winter favourite – together with my much beloved carrot cream soup: http://sblle.com/blog/carrot-cream-soup/
Thank you for this great recipe

Sensing the Twins were on a little bit of a streak, I headed to Target Field Monday for a noon tilt with the Cleveland Indians. I knew my presence would put an end to any momentum they might have had. The tickets were for a rained out game earlier in the season. And did I mention it was 98 degrees with a feels like index of 115? But who's keeping track? Anything above 90 is bad news.
When it's that hot you become witness to a lot of sweaty people. It was so hot that I tried to sit as perfectly still as I could. And the Twins did their part by not doing a single thing that would cause a person to stand up and cheer or to clap violently.
Aside from the atrocious play of the Twins, the most horrible sight of the day were the four people I saw wearing blue jeans. I almost fainted watching these people. Remember the "Seinfeld" episode where Kramer is wearing the really tight jeans? That's how these people were walking up and down the steps. Like Frankenstein.
So to summarize: Minnesota is 0-3 with me in attendance this year, Joe Mauer collected three hits and played a pretty solid first base, and wet blue jeans are not a good look on anyone.

Physical activity can trigger symptoms in most people with asthma. Symptoms may occur either during or right after being active.
But regular physical activity is good for all of us. In fact, doctors recommend that most people, including people with asthma, get at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity most days of the week.
The good news is that if you have good control of your asthma, exercise should not be a problem for you. In fact, most people with asthma should be able to participate in any physical activity they like without having asthma symptoms. Here are some things you can do to prevent or reduce exercise-induced asthma:
