Fundraisers walk on hot coals for brave Carlisle mum
Last updated at 15:15, Saturday, 25 September 2010
Brave fundraisers overcame their fears to walk across burning coals to help a Cumbrian mum suffering from locked-in syndrome.
Fifty-three people walked barefoot across smouldering embers at Pirelli Social Club, Carlisle, in support of Nicola Watson who was just 40 when she suffered a stroke last year. Her mind is functioning normally but she is unable to move her body, and there is no cure.
Nicola, 41, is in the city's Cumberland Infirmary but her family and friends are determined to bring her home.
Close friend Alison Johnstone organised the event.
She said: "It's fantastic so many people turned out for Nic. Her situation has really caught people's attention and made us determined to do we can to help her.
"Firewalking is a strange sensation – it doesn't hurt; it feels like your hands do if you clap them really hard.
"But it has taken a lot of courage for people to do it and I'm proud of all of them.
"One of my friends said she would do it if Nic could move her arm enough to touch her. Nic did that and that took a hell of a lot more effort than we are using doing this."
Alison hopes to raise enough eventually to bring Nicola back home to live.
Although she would still need 24-hour nursing, such a move would give Nicola back a part of her old life and even a little independence. The cash will help modify the Upperby home that she shares with her husband Neil and daughters Emma and Hannah.
Alison added: "Nicola is doing well. She had a bit of a setback in the summer, but she's had a good few weeks since."
Nicola can't move her body but her brain is still working and she can communicate with her eyes.
Her stroke was caused by a blood clot. It could have stopped somewhere else and been less severe, but in Nicola's case it affected the brain stem, which controls movement. In a bid to raise awareness, her family have set up a website – www.nicolawatson.co.uk
But their main focus is a £20,000 fundraising campaign so they can adapt the house and bring her back home – the one thing that will really make her happy.

Have your say
Well done to all who took park in this fire walk especially as it was to raise money for such a special cause. I wish Nicola and her family all the best for the future and hope Nicola can get back home soon. I will be looking on Nicola's website to see how I can donate towards the fund.20k is a lot of money but when you hear in the news that someone has donated 50k towards a roman helmet it really makes you think... what has the world come to, I think most people would agree which cause is more important.
I have known Nic on and off since secondary school and our paths have crossed often throughout the years, although i didn't do the walk on friday i was proud to be part of the evening, which was a fantastic night and all credit to everyone involved in organizing this extremely moving and worthwhile event. well done.

Seesmic Adds Creative Commons License Support
Super cool video conversation site Seesmic just rolled out its most requested feature today, Creative Commons licensing of course! Seesmic added all 6 primary licenses as option and CC Attribution 3.0 as default license for videos uploaded. "This means you determine how other people can use your content. Your choices are now between six combinations of Creative Commons licenses, and "All Rights Reserved," says Jeremy Vaught from Seesmic.
Joi already beat me to the punch in blogging about this and posted up a video. If you head over to my site or Joi's and you can see also the video that Loic shot with me at the CC office in San Francisco yesterday.
And, if you head over to Seesmic's main page right now, they have a community video discussion with a fair use and copyright expert (~3:30 PM PST).
Tim "ROFLcon" Hwang and I have been working with Seesmic to add this over the last few weeks and they rocked it out pretty quick! Joanne and Loic followed up with me noting where they added CC support, which is cool for others in similar position to note as well because Seesmic relies heavily at present on Flash video (like Youtube and others) and Flash-based interface elements:
- Either logged in or out you see a link where it says's Some Rights Reserved at www.seesmic.com
- When a community member goes to post a video there is a small icon that defaults to the Attribution license, but one may click, scroll down to see the other license options and learn more.
- Community members also access CC on their profile page and in the embeddable player, where the license option links out to the selected CC license deed page.
- You can read more about our announcement at http://blog.seesmic.com/.
- Also added to CC our Terms of Service (ToS) with links to CC's site where appropriate: http://www.seesmic.com/docs/TOS.html
As such, IANAL, and CC doesn't provide legal support. These are just notes on how Seesmic has integrated CC licensing.
CC integration should be rewarded with traffic, right! Head on over there and start posting videos. Oh, and if you want to know the verb form of Seesmic, its to Seesmic.2 Comments »
The 1st International Creative Commons Korea Conference and Naver CC Integration
CEO of Creative Commons, Lawrence Lessig along with VP of Science Commons, John Wilbanks, and myself, Jon Phillips holder of the title of the "human inbox" of Creative Commons [1] will all be participating at the 1st International Creative Commons Korea conference, "Open Culture in CC" on Friday, March 14 in Seoul, Korea. Lessig will go big with his keynote, Wilbanks will be presenting "Information Sharing: A Universal Solvent for Life Sciences" and I will round up the CC pack with my new presentation: Share or Die: Collaborative Media Projects from Art to Business. Yes, that's right! I will be wearing more of my art hat at this one, but will round it up by discussing how individual practice must be sustainable all the way up the ladder to a large scale web company.
These presentations are the tip of the iceberg as brilliant Korean colleagues will cover many topics as they relate to Korean society in the large global context and Chiaki Hayashi from Loftwork in Japan will discuss running a business where Creative Commons licensing is core to its daily function.
I'm quite eager though to interact with our Korean colleagues on the recently announced Creative Commons licensing integration into Naver. And, I should note that by looking at the web traffic at http://creativecommons.org, there is a massive surge from Korea since the Naver announcement. The CC Korea blog states:
On 26 February, Naver, one of the major portal service providers in Korea, announced that it officially introduces Creative Commons License to its blog and café services and began a grand campaign for promoting CCL with cartoons, videos, etc. As for the largest portal service provider in user size at home, Naver has been struggling with copyright infringements, content and blog posting piracy activities of users. In a hope to find a reliable solution against them, Naver has chosen to introduce the CC license scheme. And it is very welcomed.
Relatively belated, but thanks to their introduction, most of the Korean portal sites take part in CC licensing. With this announcement, Naver becomes the third next to Daum , which has already adopted CCL to its blog service in 2005, and Paran in 2007. These portal sites are known to grab more than 90% of Korea's portal market.
The key thing to note with Naver's CC licensing integration and as a service that effectively everyone with a net connection uses, is that Koreans now have CC licensing front-and-center. Many know that Korea takes the crown as the most wired nation with 95% broadband penetration inside the home [2]. Korea, is a hyper-connected homogenous society that now has CC licensing on the most used service in the country. How long will it take for Korea to take the title of the country with the highest level of Creative Commons license adoption per individual?
UPDATE: Michelle already wrote a stellar blog post about the conference btw.
[1] Ok, ok, my long form title is Community and Business Development Manager.
[2] Trust me. From living in Korea, I've seen four year olds with cellphones on the Internet! What? And, now that I'm living 50% of my time in Guangzhou, China (the other 50 'cent in San Francisco), I'm feeling the burn without that 100 megabit in the home. Try 1 megabit for me…if I'm lucky!

Winners: Kane and Daniel Bryan
- It's announced Trish Stratus will be going into the Hall of Fame this year. Back to commercial.
- After the commercial, Vince McMahon comes out and says he's ready to have some fun. Vince calls Paul Heyman to the ring. Heyman extends his hand but Vince doesn't want to shake it. Vince asks if Heyman was in with The Shield or Brad Maddox. Vince asks if Heyman has ever lied. Heyman says he has lied every single day of his stinking life because he's a promoter. Heyman says he doesn't regret it because that's what kept him alive. Heyman goes on and swears to Vince that he's not lying now. Vince asks if Heyman is an honorable man. Heyman says he doesn't know but he's trying to become one. Maybe he can learn from Vince. Heyman says he wants to be here. Vince has the cameras do a close-up on Heyman's face. He asks the fans if this is an honorable face, an honest man. The fans say no. Vince shows us some footage that was shot a few weeks ago in Northern California. It's footage of Heyman walking with Brad Maddox. Heyman tells Brad's cameraman to turn his camera off but he keeps recording. It reveals Heyman and Punk hired Maddox to screw Ryback at Hell In a Cell. Heyman also reveals they pay The Shield to do jobs for them. The Shield appear and surround Maddox. Maddox tells Heyman he will leave, Heyman tells Maddox to take the beating like a man. Maddox tells Heyman to tell Punk he's sorry. Heyman tells Maddox to take this as a learning experience. The Shield beat Maddox down.
Fans chant "you got busted" at Heyman. Next they start singing goodbye to Heyman. Vince wants an explanation. Heyman says that wasn't him in the video. Heyman says Vince can relate to being falsely accused. Heyman says his accent is very easy to imitate. Heyman says he is being set up because of jealousy. Because of his success with ECW and CM Punk. Heyman still insists it wasn't him in the video. Vince asks fans if Heyman is lying and if he deserves to be fired. Heyman tells Vince not to do this. Vince wishes Heyman well in his future endeavors. You're... Brock Lesnar's music hits and out he comes to a big pop.
Lesnar hits the ring and the fans chant his name. Lesnar backs Heyman off and gets in Vince's face. Lesnar touches Vince with his nose and it pisses Vince off. Vince tells Lesnar not to do something he will regret later on. Heyman begs Vince to leave the ring. Lesnar scoops Vince up and lays him out with a F-5. Heyman tells Lesnar no more and to stop. Lesnar bounces around the ring while Heyman asks him what did he do. There's a pop for Lesnar as he exits the ring and Vince tries to recover in the ring. An ECW chant breaks out as RAW goes off the air.

Racing Start for Marel at IPE
01 Feb 2011
A NASCAR racing theme, seven new poultry solutions and more plasma screens showing our innovative solutions than any other exhibitor, these were just some of the highlights at the Marel stand at this year's International Poultry Exposition (IPE) in Atlanta, Georgia.
With more than 800 exhibitors and nearly 20,000 attendees, IPE is one of the world's largest shows dedicated to the poultry industry and the ideal platform at which to demonstrate to our customers why we should be their partmer of choice in helping take their company to the next level in 2011.
Since the event's inception, we have been one of the leading exhibitors, and with 5,600 square feet (520m2) of exhibit space this year, we once again showed that we are the world leader in poultry processing.
Our racing theme seemed to resonate well with visitors from the outset, and the stand was crowded even before the show doors officially opened. Many of our largest customers, including Gold'n Plump, Cargill and Tyson, to name a few, stopped in to see the Innovation Showroom, our customer-only area dedicated to highlighting the innovative solutions in processing equipment we have brought to market in the past year.
There were also several visitors from South America, a very important market, as well as a significant number of inquiries about turkey processing, a market segment which is set to play an increasingly important role in 2011.

HOT! That drawing idea is crazy.
This song grew on me, and actually, so did "Universal Mind Control". The video hasn't been released yet, but XXL posted a link and I grabbed it. Get it while it's hot…
Pharrell is starting to look…I don't know, his age? Rough around the edges? LOL. Common looks like Diet Light Rick Ross with that beard. LOL, wtf is up with that…he going back to them "Electric Circus" days with that one…is that a good thing…or a bad thing!? As you know, Common went with Pharrell for pretty much this WHOLE album.
Video doesn't quite GEL if you get what I mean, but it's cool nonetheless. Those backup dancers look off, straight out of Breakin' 3: Step Up 2 The Streets. I'll take my "pass" card on them, thanks!

You could be forgiven for thinking that the story of XMRV, a mouse retrovirus implicated in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), is over. After all, study after study has failed to replicate the XMRV-CFS link, and last year, Science retracted the 2009 paper [2] in which XMRV was first fingered as a cause of the elusive syndrome. Most researchers concluded long ago that those findings resulted from an accidental contamination of patient samples in the lab.
But until now, the biggest study on the topic still hadn't been wrapped up: a project funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) and led by Ian Lipkin of Columbia University that brought together supporters and skeptics of the theory that XMRV plays a role in chronic fatigue. Today, mBio published the results of the study, which proves that, as most scientists suspected, the XMRV theory is most definitely dead [3].
This time, even Judy Mikovits, the chief author of the 2009 study and the main protagonist in the twisted scientific saga, agrees. Mikovits, formerly at the Whittemore Peterson Institute (WPI) in Reno, Nevada, participated in Lipkin's study and concedes that it is "the definitive answer. … There is no evidence that XMRV is a human pathogen."
Three research groups took part in the mBio study: Mikovits, along with her collaborators Francis Ruscetti at the National Cancer Institute and Maureen Hanson at Cornell University; a team led by Shyh-Ching Lo at the Food and Drug Administration, which linked CFS to a related group of viruses called MLVs [4] in a study that was also retracted [5]; and a group at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which had failed to find the virus in CFS patient samples [6]. Each group was presented with samples from 147 patients and 146 healthy controls from six U.S. cities. Each was free to analyze samples using its own techniques; that way, no one could complain that the right methods weren't used, Lipkin says. The samples were blinded until all the analyses were done.
Mikovits's participation in the study was complicated by the fact that she was fired by WPI [7] in September of 2011 and later arrested, jailed, and charged with illegally taking data and related property from WPI. (The criminal charges, which came on top of a civil suit by WPI, were dropped in June [8].) Antibody testing for Mikovits's share of the study was done at Ruscetti's lab and PCR tests at Hanson's lab.
None of the groups found any trace of XMRV or MLVs whatsoever—neither in patients nor controls. Mikovits and Ruscetti did find that about 6% of patients and controls had antibodies that reacted to XMRV—a result that they chalk up to aspecific binding instead of XMRV infection.
As to XMRV, "it's simply not there," Mikovits said at a press conference this morning to announce the results of the new study. No previous study had tried to replicate her findings using her exact methods, Mikovits says. "I'm forever grateful to Ian Lipkin for making it possible to participate," she says. Lipkin says he is "proud" of Mikovits for accepting the outcome and asked the audience at the press conference to give her a round of applause.
The outcome isn't surprising, says Vinay Pathak of the National Cancer Institute, one of the authors of a key study last year that showed XMRV was accidentally created in the lab [9]. Still, Pathak says, Lipkin's study is a "model" for how similar disputes can be resolved in the future. Kim McCleary, the head of the CFIDS Association of America, a CFS advocacy group, hopes the study will finally bring closure to the debate about XMRV.
Samples gathered for the new study will also be available for other researchers, which is a "silver lining for an ultimately disappointing outcome," McCleary says. "We hope that people from all over the world will use these samples," Lipkin said this morning.

Malaysian independence fighter Puan Sri Janaky Athi Nahappan, 89, passed away at her house in Taman Tasik Titiwangsa, yesterday due to pneumonia.
Her son Datuk Athi Ishwar Nahappan, 64, who came from Singapore to be with her from last week, said his mother was battling with pneumonia since last September.
"My mother passed away peacefully, and my sister Gouri Preece, 61, was the one who found her lifeless on the bed at about 10.15am today. I am thankful to have a chance to meet her for the last time," he told Bernama when met at the family house tonight.
He said today was also his father Tan Sri Athi Nahappan's 38th death anniversary. Athi Nahappan, former MIC deputy president and a minister, passed away on the same date in 1976.
Janaky, a former senator and one of MIC's founders, leaves a son and two daughters, eight grandchildren and a great grandson.
Athi Ishwar said the funeral service would be held tomorrow at the family house at 60A, Jalan Kuantan, Taman Tasik Titiwangsa before cremation at the Cheras Crematorium at 10.30am.
Janaky was born on February 25, 1925, in Kuala Lumpur and at the age of 17, left for India to join the Indian National Army (INA) and rose to the rank of Captain and Second in Command of the Rhani of Jhansi Regiment, the only women's regiment in the INA.
During World War II, she fought against the British at the Burma-India border for India's independence.
After the war, she returned to Malaya and together with other INA veterans founded the first Indian political party in Malaysia, MIC, under the leadership of John Thivy.
She was Wanita MIC chief and had served as chairman of the MIC Batu branch and also as the party's central working committee (CWC) member.
She met Athi Nahappan, who was then a newspaper reporter in 1948, and they married a year later.
Janaky was also known for her active role in various social welfare organisations, and was commissioner of the Selangor Girl Guides Association.
She was also involved in the National Council of Women's Organisations.
She received numerous awards and recognition both nationally and internationally, and was the first woman of Indian origin outside India to be awarded one of India's highest titles — the Padma Shri by the president of India in 2000 for her social welfare work and her service to the Indian National Army. – Bernama, May 10, 2014.

The mission of DC Greenworks is to grow livable communities using living materials.
Our programs—rainwater conservation and re-use, green job training, urban agriculture, and education and public leadership—create an inclusive, multidimensional system that taps into the rich resources, potential, and needs of the DC community, and their neighborhoods. Our programs reduce the amount of rainwater that reaches our local waterways during each storm, filtering the water, preventing combined sewer overflows and making our communities and rivers safer and healthier.
Founded in 1994, DC Greenworks (DCG) is the Washington Metropolitan Area's preeminent green roof advocate and educator, as well as a one-stop shop for low impact development consultation, design and installation. Since 2000, we have installed over 140,000 square feet of green roofing in the Metro Area and trained more than 2000 people in green roof installation techniques. Through the District Department of the Environment's RiverSmart Homes program, DCG has installed more than 3,500 rain barrels since 2009. We have also worked with area schools and universities, making educational presentations on a variety of topics, designing and installing green roofs, rain gardens, and vegetable gardens.
We see a vital connection between ecology and economy, between employment potential and environmental sustainability. We actively seek to discover, promote, and deliver cutting-edge solutions that are cost-effective, eco-friendly, and socially beneficial.
Entrepreneurial in our approach, we work hand-in-hand with community leaders, inner-city residents, neighborhood organizations and small businesses to leverage grassroots participation and bring about creative solutions that redress the effects of pollution and create a higher quality of life for residents. As an advocate for the environment, we believe in strengthening communities through knowledge and hands-on discovery and participation. Our hope is to make DC's ecology and environment accessible and relevant, bridging diverse peoples and communities.
DCG recognizes that we are affected and changed by our environment as much as we affect and change it. Our goal is to create communities of awareness—to get local citizens actively and intimately involved with their surroundings, but also with themselves and with each other. As facilitators of change, DCG seeks to cultivate a "culture of stewardship" that demystifies the environment, breaks people out of their comfort zones, and strengthens communities block by block. To bring about this cultural change, DCG utilizes an interactive teaching and modeling approach that is engaging and meaningful.

AECOM opens urban decay-themed student prize
AECOM has launched its 2014 Urban SOS student competition featuring a prize fund of £9,000
The high-profile competition seeks new ways to reconnect industry with urban development in response to this year's theme 'Towards a New Industry'.
Proposals should identify an abandoned factory, place of production or derelict infrastructure and develop economically viable concepts to reanimate the site.
Design concepts must support sustainable growth, improve existing infrastructure, revitalise local areas, engage local communities, benefit city residents and explore the re-use of outdated technologies.
Sites may be in the city centre or fringe but must be real places which can be found on Google Earth or Google Maps.
According to the brief: 'Entrants should demonstrate a holistic and sustainable approach to their proposals. They should present a connective language that can embrace many or all aspects of the site, expressing a language of built form that ties together land, buildings, ecology, infrastructure, and economic and social activity to strategically transform a site.'
The document continued: 'We are asking for professional responses to challenging questions. Judges will value creativity and innovation, but your response must be fundamentally feasible.'
The competition is open to undergraduate and graduate students worldwide.
Teams are encouraged to partner with a charity or relief organisation which could develop their proposal further if successful.
The partner group of the winning design will receive a £15,000 donation from AECOM. A £9,000 prize fund is meanwhile available for the winning team or teams.
The deadline for registration is 1 June and projects must be submitted by 1 August. Three finalists will be announced on 11 August with the winner set to be announced in New York on 4 September.

Dear all,
Doug just updated the ports tree with the updated BIND ports. If you urgently want to upgrade and really cannot wait for the advisory. Please use the ports system to get up to speed.
Thanks Doug for working on this on such short notice!

dns/bind95 Makefile distinfo
Upgrade to the -P1 versions of each port, which add stronger randomization
of the UDP query-source ports. The server will still use the same query
port for the life of the process, so users for whom the issue of cache
poisoning is highly significant may wish to periodically restart their
server using /etc/rc.d/named restart, or other suitable method.
In order to take advantage of this randomization users MUST have an
appropriate firewall configuration to allow UDP queries to be sent and
answers to be received on random ports; and users MUST NOT specify a
port number using the query-source[-v6] option.
The avoid-v[46]-udp-ports options exist for users who wish to eliminate
certain port numbers from being chosen by named for this purpose. See
the ARM Chatper 6 for more information.
Also please note, this issue applies only to UDP query ports. A random
ephemeral port is always chosen for TCP queries.
This issue applies primarily to name servers whose main purpose is to
resolve random queries (sometimes referred to as "caching" servers, or
more properly as "resolving" servers), although even an "authoritative"
name server will make some queries, primarily at startup time.

A huge thank you to everyone who came downtown on a blustery morning to participate in last Saturday's unconference on a carbon neutral Seattle!
Carbon neutrality is a simple idea with complicated details: it's hard to define and far-reaching in its implications. Carbon neutrality implies a city that uses no fossil fuels and produces no unused waste - a city where every system functions differently than it does today. Yet the idea of Seattle becoming North America's first carbon neutral city - and achieving that goal by 2030 - has taken hold. Becoming that city would be a response commensurate to the challenge of global climate change. It would establish Seattle as a global leader in sustainable development, urban innovation, and the burgeoning green economy. Last Saturday's small group of leading thinkers - "a renegade crew of Seattle's green rock stars" - came together to address the question: 'where do we even start?'
In an energetic and inspiring day, hosted by Mithun, we heard from over 40 presenters and panelists on an amazing range of potential solutions, guiding principles, and significant hurdles. The day's discussion covered understanding regional transportation funding to using art to illuminate our relationship to the planet. From the political, such as the need for political accountability in our State legislature, to the financial, such as the potential of a national infrastructure bank to finance large projects such as light rail. We discussed the challenge of defining 'neutrality' and using meaningful metrics, and the importance of non-local actions such as placing a global price on carbon, to avoid a game, as Sightline's Eric de Place put it, of "carbon whack-a-mole". City Council President Richard Conlin presented the City's current efforts to promote sustainable urban agriculture, while Cary Moon of the People's Waterfront Coalition and Joshua Curtis of Great City discussed three steps that could transform how we plan Seattle's future. Participants learned about radical improvements in building efficiency, district-wide green building solutions, and how we design our neighborhoods for better social outcomes. Speakers addressed considerations of equity, both economic and intergenerational. Can climate neutrality be achieved through a system that requires nothing of the extremely poor, allowing those with the means – and the historical responsibility – to pay? How do we involve Seattle's fourth-graders in our discussions? Today's 10-year-olds will be our mid-career workforce in 2030. There was discussion on the challenges and responsibilities of journalists who report on climate, with a call for a northwest climate journalism summit.
Space constrains us from writing about every great speaker and idea; you can follow the ongoing conversation via Twitter with the hashtag #0co2. A huge thank you to every one of an incredible lineup of speakers: Alex Steffen, Richard Conlin, Ashley de Forest, Sean Conroe, Rob Harrison, Cameron Hall, Stephanie Pure, Eric de Place, Peter Erickson, Charlie Cunniff, Critter Thompson, Erin Christensen, Brian Geller, Joe Brewer, Anima Lavoy, Lisa Stiffler, Paul Fleming, Cary Moon, Joshua Curtis, Chris Jordan, Ben Beres, Dan Albert, Charles R. Wolfe, Diana Vinh, Liz Dunn, Jesse Kocher, Nate Cole-Daum, Cathy Tuttle, Charles R. Wolfe, Rob Johnson, Jemae Hoffman, Blake Trask, Craig M. Benjamin, Chris Rule, Erica C. Barnett, Mike McGinn, Sol Villareal, Michael Grenetz, Luis Borrero, Sara Nikolic, Roger Valdez, Jill Simmons, and Mike O'Brien!
Three talks anchored the day's events; Alex Steffen's morning opening talk, Mayor McGinn's lunchtime call to action, and Councilmember O'Brien's closing discussion on next steps.
The day kicked off with Worldchanging's Alex Steffen – who first suggested the goal of carbon neutrality for Seattle last fall – providing context for the day's conversations. Steffen pointed out that Seattle is in a unique position to pursue this goal, with both a head start in clean energy, thanks to our hydroelectric system, and a global image as an environmental leader that makes our decisions resonate beyond the size of our population or economy. If we're going to do it at all, it should be here, and it has to be now.
In a short lunch-time speech on the politics of transportation and climate, Mayor Mike McGinn laid out how much of our problem is political, not technical. He declared that we have the voters on our side; that we have the data on our side; and that we have the good ideas. So why aren't we winning? Why do our major transportation investments actually increase our emissions, while our policies say we will reduce them? McGinn's message was clear: "The politicians in this region don't care about what we care about – they just don't." Politics matter, and McGinn framed the conversation as a division of approaches: the wonks and the hacks. The wonks - the policy and data crowd, believing in the power of a good idea - were definitely the majority in the room. "We need to tap our inner hacks," the Mayor said, "because we will win or lose this fight in the political realm, not the realm of ideas." The results we're getting on our regional transportation future are not about the best solutions, they are an expression of the political will of powerful interests. As McGinn said, "the other side isn't stopping."
There was a heavy focus throughout the day on transportation, which reflects its central role in our regions discussions on sustainability. Right after McGinn spoke on transportation, a panel of transportation experts and activists, moderated by Publicola's Erica Barnett, discussed Seattle's commitment to 'Walk, Bike, Ride" – a non-auto transportation future. If the region is to achieve any of its sustainability-related goals, we must make make car-free living a realistic option for more people. Building on some of the points made by McGinn, the panel discussed how our spending priorities reveal our values on transportation; how if the Central Business District grows as much as expected, and people continue driving to work at current rates, we'll need 20 blocks of new parking garages; how at current rates of funding, no one alive today will see a completed pedestrian master plan; and how our city funds non-automobile infrastructure with millions of dollars while, the region funds auto infrastructure with billions.
The event culminated in an open discussion, moderated by Seattle City Councilmember Mike O'Brien, of the day's most important details, addressing three significant questions to emerge from the day:
1. The 'choir question': how do we expand the discussion in a meaningful way to include a more diverse group of participants?
2. Identifying our principal barriers: what stands in the way of progress toward carbon neutrality?
3. Now what? Where do we go from here, and what are our next steps?
In addressing these three questions, the group identified an array of solutions, ideas, and needs. The principle takeaways were that our combined efforts could be powerful, but we lack tools for coordination and collaboration; that we can include more diverse voices by speaking clearly about the range of benefits associated with carbon neutrality; and that we will not win this fight if we don't engage the politics and become a movement. We must express our vision with a unified voice, and hold our leaders accountable for its implementation. The full list of ideas generated through the closing session is temporarily available through google docs here. We are in the process of creating a little wiki where this list can be used to generate further discussion.
Saturday was a great beginning to a much larger conversation. The group was unanimous in its desire for more ideas, more interaction, and more momentum. We will follow up the day's events with online resources for communication and collaboration, and will begin planning future events. In the meantime, it is up to all of us to keep these conversations going - here are a few ways to start:
Most importantly, whether you attended the unconference or not, please let us know what you think by filling out this short survey to help us plan for the next conversations.

Reply by Campionatul Mondial de Fotbal 2010: I am presently, and for many decades have been, a resident of the Seattle area. So, I remember what a truly "green" environment the Seattle area was before we were invaded by the "developers" who have ruined this area with their greed.
The "inconvenient reality" is the green jobs are going where all the other jobs have gone -- to third world countries where the labor is cheaper than it is here, especially to China (who is now the leader in all things green, just in case you didn't know).
If the green jobs aren't real, then who in the Seattle area is willing, or even able, to pay for the massive infrastructure changes required by your green insanity?
You also speak of green justice, which I think is ironic because Seattle and Washington State in particular are some of the most economically unjust areas of our country (i.e. if you don't have a lot of money, don't bother coming here, or you can spend your life watching other wealthier people living theirs -- right in your face, usually).
The net result of all these green ideas are simply going to increase the population pressure in Seattle (and, hence, economic pressure) on a very limited land area that cannot even support the population we have now.
Wait! I know what we can do to provide all the money for greening up Seattle! It's so simple that it is a wonder no one has thought of it before. We can change the tax laws to force the wealthy to actually pay their fair share for a change. Unfortunately, they would simply leave, sticking us with bill anyhow, so I guess it won't work after all. But then, neither will any of your ideas either.
By the way, lest you think I am simply some ill-educated "redneck," I am a retired CPA/MBA who used to work in senior management for several of the hi-tech and aerospace supply companies (for Boeing) that are no longer here, having been "outsourced" to Asia.
If you can't understand history, you are doomed to repeat it. I suggest you take a look at our history and try to understand how we got here, before handing out simplistic solutions to complex problems.
If you find this reply designed to "disrupt a conversation rather than contribute to it" or "insulting and abusive," I would be interested in being afforded the courtesy of hearing exactly why (you do, after all, have my email address).
Sometimes the truth can be a little painful and, apparently, you need a good strong dose of it.

I ordered the Teak sample for myself because I enjoy deeper, more woodsy fragrances. Being female, I would say that this fragrance is a little too woodsy for me, but feel that it would be perfect on a man during Fall. Although quite a nice fragrance, definitely a man's scent.

In our hurry-up distracted world, there is a strong temptation to fall victim to the false promise of immediacy and success in all things we do. Instant communication, instant feedback, 24/7 connectivity, faster planes, trains and automobiles, and more. Even in entrepreneurship, the latest buzz phrase is "fast to fail."

One-step fabrication of biocompatible chitosan-coated ZnS and ZnS:Mn2+ quantum dots via a γ-radiation route
College of Material Science and Technology, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Nanjing, 210016, People's Republic of China
Nanoscale Research Letters 2011, 6:591 doi:10.1186/1556-276X-6-591Published: 14 November 2011
Biocompatible chitosan-coated ZnS quantum dots [CS-ZnS QDs] and chitosan-coated ZnS:Mn2+ quantum dots [CS-ZnS:Mn2+ QDs] were successfully fabricated via a convenient one-step γ-radiation route. The as-obtained QDs were around 5 nm in diameter with excellent water-solubility. These QDs emitting strong visible blue or orange light under UV excitation were successfully used as labels for PANC-1 cells. The cell experiments revealed that CS-ZnS and CS-ZnS:Mn2+ QDs showed low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility, which offered possibilities for further biomedical applications. Moreover, this convenient synthesis strategy could be extended to fabricate other nanoparticles coated with chitosan.

Where's the Note?
Posted By Barry Ritholtz On October 15, 2010 @ 2:30 pm In Credit,Legal,Real Estate | Comments Disabled
A site (gone viral) that allows homeowners to request to find out who actually owns their mortgage note:
"When Wall Street banks securitized, packaged, sold, and resold mortgages, they created a system where it is often impossible to figure out who actually owns mortgage notes and therefore has the authority to foreclose on properties. But the big banks are getting tangled up in their own web. Recent events have exposed a handful of banks that are throwing families out of their homes even though they don't have the mortgage note that proves they actually have a legal right to do so. There have been instances of two banks trying to foreclose on the same home, and in at least two cases, of a bank trying to foreclose on a house where the homeowner had never even taken out a mortgage with anyone in the first place."

Delaware DUI law states that it is a misdemeanor offense for any person with a blood alcohol concentration of .08% or greater to operate a motor vehicle in the state of Delaware while under the influence of alcohol. You may also be arrested for DUI if you are under the influence of a controlled substance and your chemical test is .05% or greater.
Delaware also operates under a 'zero tolerance' law for anyone under 21 years of age. If you are under 21 years of age and are stopped while operating or in physical control of any motor vehicle, you are in violation of Delaware's 'zero tolerance' law and your driver's license will be revoked for two months for a first offense. A second or subsequent DUI offense for anyone under 21 years of age will face a revocation of their driver's license for a period of not less than 6-months and no more than 12-months.
When you are arrested for a driving under the influence violation in Delaware you will not only be facing the criminal charges of driving under the influence, but you will also be facing administrative actions taken against your driver's license by the Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV).

Failure to request an administrative hearing will result in a minimum 3-month revocation of your driver's license. It is extremely important that you contact a Delaware DUI lawyer who has experience in handling DMV administrative hearings immediately following your arrest if you hope to retain your driving privilege.

At the time of acceptance you may also elect to participate in the First Offense Election - Ignition Interlock Device Diversion Program or (FOE-IID).
When you elect the FOE-IID Diversion program you must remain on the ignition interlock device license for 5 months from the date of the IID license issuance. The DMV will require you to pay a $143.75 license reinstatement fee at the end of the 5 months before they will authorize the removal of the ignition interlock device from your vehicle.
You are also responsible for the installation fee of the ignition interlock device and the monthly leasing fee of the ignition interlock.
A first offense DUI charge in Delaware means that your blood alcohol concentration was .08% or greater and you have had no prior DUI convictions. A first offense DUI charge is considered a misdemeanor charge and carries the following penalties:
A second offense DUI charge in Delaware means that your blood alcohol concentration was .08% or greater and you have been convicted of one prior DUI offense. A second offense charge is considered a misdemeanor charge and carries the following penalties:
A third DUI offense within 5-years of your two prior offenses is a felony offense in Delaware. A third offense charge carries the following penalties:
A fourth DUI offense in Delaware is a felony charge at anytime following your three previous charges. There is no time limit on the look back period. A fourth offense charge carries the following penalties:
Before the Delaware DMV will reinstate your license following your revocation period or before issuing you a conditional license, they will require you to file an SR22 form with them before issuing you a new license. You will be required to carry your SR22 filing for a period of 3-years.
At anytime during this 3-year period if there is a lapse in your Delaware SR22 insurance coverage, your insurance provider is obligated by law to immediately inform the Delaware DMV of the lapse. If a lapse in coverage occurs, the Delaware DMV will immediately suspended your license and you will be required to re-file an SR22 form with the DMV before they will issue you another license.

WASHINGTON - US Secretary of State John Kerry traveled to Cairo early Monday for crisis talks on Gaza, following President Barack Obama's call for an "immediate ceasefire" between Israelis and Palestinians.
The US top diplomat is scheduled to meet with senior officials from Egypt and other countries, the State Department said, in a bid to halt a blistering land, sea and air assault that has sent thousands of terrified civilians fleeing their homes.
Kerry will seek "an immediate cessation of hostilities based on a return to the November 2012 ceasefire agreement," the White House said, stressing the need to protect civilian life both "in Gaza and in Israel."
According to the State Department, Kerry supports Egypt's initiative to bring about a ceasefire. His visit to the region comes in parallel with a high-profile peace mission by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
Obama spoke Sunday by telephone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to express his "serious concern" after more than 100 Palestinians and 13 Israeli soldiers were killed in the bloodiest day since the Gaza offensive was launched.
Palestinian families flee their homes in Gaza's eastern Shejaiya district after heavy Israeli shelling
As more human remains are pulled from the rubble, the Palestinian death toll had risen to 501 by Monday, the fifth day of the Israeli ground operation.
Kerry's high-stakes trip came as US media reported that two American members of the Israeli Defense Force were killed in Gaza fighting.
The State Department said two US citizens were killed in Gaza violence, but did not immediately disclose their occupations.
Obama decries rising death toll
During their second call in three days, Obama and Netanyahu "discussed Israel's ongoing military operation," including "the loss of Israeli soldiers," the White House added.
Obama "raised serious concern about the growing number of casualties, including increasing Palestinian civilian deaths in Gaza and the loss of Israeli soldiers," the White House said.
The US leader also condemned attacks by Hamas and "reaffirmed Israel's right to defend itself."
Ron Prosor, Israel's Ambassador to the UN speaks to the media outside the Security Council chambers at UN headquarters in New York as an emergency closed door meeting of the Security Council about the situation in Gaza was called

"The president underscored that the United States will work closely with Israel and regional partners on implementing an immediate ceasefire, and stressed the need to protect civilians -- in Gaza and in Israel."
Kerry on Sunday did the rounds on the influential US television political talk shows, with Netanyahu also appearing on two of the TV programs.
Just before Kerry's 0515 GMT Monday departure from Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington, the UN Security Council deplored the mounting death toll in Gaza and appealed for an immediate ceasefire.
Meeting for two hours at an emergency session, the 15-member Council called for the respect of international humanitarian law, including the protection of civilians.
In a statement, the Council threw its support behind Egypt's bid to broker a truce as well as the peace mission by the UN's Ban, who is due in Kuwait on Monday before heading to Egypt, Israel and the Palestinian West Bank.
Egypt, which has been a mediator in previous Israel-Hamas conflicts, had proposed a halt to the fighting but Hamas rejected the initiative saying it had not been consulted. Israel initially accepted Cairo's plan.
Hamas has laid out a set of conditions, including the lifting of Israel's eight-year blockade on Gaza, the opening of the Rafah border crossing with Egypt and the release of scores of prisoners Israel re-arrested in recent weeks.

Megaupload reported dropping Universal from lawsuit
updated 06:05 pm EST, Sat January 21, 2012
Megaupload may skip Universal for individuals
Megaupload's lawsuit opposing a takedown of a promo video may have taken an unusual turn. The company was claimed by a Hollywood Reporter source with access to the case to have dropped Universal, which orchestrated the takedown, from the suit. Only a number of unnamed people who had participated in the takedown remained.
The withdrawal was without prejudice, which in the US court system lets a plaintiff sue again if circumstances changed. Megaupload is also believed to have told the court that it still wanted "limited discovery" of the processes that led to the takedown.
Universal on having the video pulled said it hadn't made a traditional takedown request and instead had used special access it had to pull the video, which saw a number of musicians and other celebrities promote Megaupload. YouTube later said it hadn't given as much authority as Universal said it did, and was unhappy that Universal had abused its position to take down content that most consider legal.
The music label would later go on to try to hush news reports about the incident by using a more conventional takedown request against TWiT's Tech News Today.
Megaupload is still described as angry at YouTube and its parent company Google for supposedly aiding Universal, such as by having incomplete documents and withholding view counts on YouTube that would help popularize the celebrity promo.
More details are expected in a hearing on Monday. The court still has to decide whether or not to take Universal out of the case.
The lawsuit may have its chances dimmed now that the company has faced site shutdowns and arrests for allegedly condoning piracy and engaging in racketeering. Universal's view has been that Megaupload is inherently a haven for piracy and may have helped persuade the FBI and New Zealand police to orchestrate the raids that have taken the site down. A chance exists that Megaupload may want Universal out of the lawsuit to avoid its claims becoming an issue at trial.

You should own Kodak c195.
In our daily life there are many instances which we want to capture and keep those memories alive through out our life. One would want to imprint the memories of their first award, marriage, first step of their baby and many more, into the sand of life .
Kodak for decades has helped you keep these memories intact in form of Photos. Earlier photography was believed to be only professionals' forte. Am amateur could hardly think of entering this dragon. And then, Kodak came into the market with a concept of ease in the technique of photography, where every tom, dick and hary having a Kodak camera could become photographer. All that he had to do was just hold the camera say 'Smile' and click, rest was done by the camera itself. Hence, Kodak was successful in earning the trust of its customers for many decades. And now taking this trust a bit further they have introduced a complete new camera in the market named Kodak c195 which is user friendly and has all the necessary equipments and features which a normal camera should have these days.
This is a recently launched compact digital camera packed with lots of features to fulfill the increasing demand of the customers. This camera has all the necessary features to share your memories on all the popular networking sites like Picasa, flick, face book etc. And the user interface too is very user friendly. It can be carried easily in a pocket . All that you have to do for sharing those vivid memories is to click the photos at any time and there is a share button provided on the camera just press it and let the whole world know what you are up to, otherwise you can just mail the pictures on your website or on your networking sites. The Kodak c195 has a sporty 10mp sensor and is provided with a LCD display of about 2.5 inches. The camera is provided with 5× optical zoom in 35mm format and an advanced 5× zoom to cover optimum focal range within 35mm to 165mm. Although this is not an ideal camera for the wide angle photography, but the provided smooth capturing feature helps you to easily click the photos with optimum and efficient quality.
Kodak c195 has some of the funny inbuilt futures to take the photos like auto, portrait, fireworks, snow, backlight and sport. The camera is also featured with taking pictures in different colors modes like full, vivid, sepia, black and white as well in basic colors which helps to flow your imagination in photography and restrains you from using Photoshop for additional editing. This camera comes with 1000ISO settings which allows it to work smoothly while capturing a fast moving object, text tagging and multi-field search are added features which results in greater details of the picture. Some of the features which make this camera user friendly are cropping, picture rotation, undo delete, self timer and ability to make your own slideshows with variety of transition effects and preloaded music themes.
The induced screen gives better display of the shot videos which are usually in VGA format at 640×480 which carries the speed of 30fps (Frames per Second). But the only disappointment is that there is only digital zoom and no Optical zoom for capturing videos. And also while shooting you don't get an option of image stabilization unless you opt for still photography. The still photography can be recorded in JPEG/EXIF v2.21.
Kodak c195 comes with an inbuilt memory of 32MB and an expandable memory is provided in the form of SD/ SDHC cards expansion slots. Due to sensors you can get large printouts in 4:3 formats. The body features include the dimension and weight 3.8×2.4×1.2 inches and weighs approximately 177grams with battery and card which altogether makes it user friendly and can be easily carried in pockets, as well as per the company norms it is Eco Friendly as well.
You can get this camera in any Kodak shop or mall and if you want to buy it online there are many ecommerce websites which has this camera on their product list. The cameras that are shipped are generally Blue color ones and costs around $99 which is worth buying.
Also look for Kodak Easy Software and get more information on how to use it for better photography.

Jim Locke will discuss chocolate Saturday at the Rochester Public Market.
Locke, a blogger for FlavorsofRochester.com, plans to talk about topics such as chocolate farming, history and fair trade. He also will offer tastings of cacao nibs and 65 percent "Nutty" TCHO dark chocolate couverture.
Nibs are pieces of cacao beans that have been roasted, hulled and prepped for processing. Couverture is a high quality chocolate that contains extra cocoa butter, and its used for dipping, coating and molding.
The talk and tasting will be from 10 a.m. to noon at 280 N. Union St. Its the last in a demonstration series sponsored by the Rochester Public Market, Democrat and Chronicle and FlavorsofRochester.com.
From Taza Chocolate:
½ cup quinoa
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved,
1 small bunch cilantro, finely chopped
4 scallions, finely sliced
Juice of 2 limes
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 jalapeño, seeds removed, finely chopped
1 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
½ cup Taza Chocolate Roasted Cacao Nibs
6 ounces crumbled queso fresco or feta
Kosher salt and cracked black pepper
Heat quinoa and 1 cup of water over high heat until it comes to a boil, cover and turn heat to low. Cook until liquid is fully absorbed, about 18 minutes, then remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
In a large salad bowl, combine tomatoes, cilantro, and scallions. In a separate bowl, whisk together lime juice, vegetable oil, and jalapeno then pour over tomato mixture. Add drained black beans and cacao nibs. Once quinoa has cooled, add to tomato mixture,then toss with cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Friends called Woodrow Wyatt a "great English eccentric"; most people regarded him as a turncoat, a lech and a toady of monumental proportions – obsequious to the point of parody in his efforts to curry favour with Rupert Murdoch and with Tory ministers in the Thatcher and Major years.
It had all begun so well. Wyatt served with distinction through the second world war, rising to the rank of major and being mentioned in despatches for his part in the Normandy landings. Back in civilian life, he was elected in the 1945 general election as Labour MP for Birmingham Aston, and in 1951 was appointed by Clement Attlee to a junior ministerial role.
Out of Parliament when his seat disappeared in the 1955 general election, Wyatt worked in television as a reporter for the Panorama programme, where he revealed extensive ballot-rigging by Communists in the Electrical Trades Union.
By 1959, Wyatt had returned to the green leather benches of the House of Commons, but his lack of sympathy with the thinking of the Labour Party was already becoming evident. When Harold Wilson's government was elected in 1964 with a majority of just four seats, Wyatt and Desmond Donnelly revolted over steel nationalisation and were able to block it for two years.
Leaving the political frontline, Wyatt was inexplicably made chairman of the state-run betting service, the Horserace Totaliser Board, in 1976. It was a lucrative post that he would continue to hold for more than 20 years, until removed from it by death.
He also became a columnist for the News of the World for an annual fee reported to be around £50,000 a year, writing under the increasingly inaccurate title of "the voice of reason". Among his many interesting views was that: "Man's biological function is to impregnate the highest number of females."
As late as 1995, he would write that, far from being harmful, smoking was an aid to longevity, while the campaign against it had "no scientific basis" and was "mob driven". He added: "The emotions aroused are akin to those which fuelled anti-bomb marches, sit-ins at Aldermaston, demonstrations against the USA in Vietnam, poll tax riots in Trafalgar Square, attacks on Jews as enemies of the state in Nazi Germany and other similar irrational mob behaviour.
By the end of the 1970s, the former Labour MP had also become an avid Thatcherite. His reward, in 1987, was a life peerage. In his diaries, Wyatt wrote: "I know she is the best prime minister of my lifetime and if I can help to strengthen and comfort her when things look bleak, I will do it." Appalled by the Tories' decision to ditch Margaret Thatcher, Wyatt nonetheless assured her successor that he considered him "a great man".
Even the ardent admirers of Margaret Thatcher and notably unconventional Tory MP Alan Clark regarded him as "gaga".

SACD decoder options
SACD decoder options

perhaps somebody can explain meaning of SACD decoder options.
ASIO Driver mode: PCM / DSD (Autodetect) difference
DSD2PCM mode: Multistage (fixed point) / Multistage (floating point) / Direct (Floating point, 30kHz LF) difference
I'm utterly aimed to get highest quality for converter..
What's the native sampling frequency for SACD? I have 4 choices which 44.1 is too low, but there are higher. I intuiitionally choosed 88.2kHz but not sure if this still isnot downsampling the undecoded audio. I need a value that won't up/downsample the audio any way and extracts in the same reate as original. Thankyou.

2822.4/24=117.6... 117.6KHz isn't a rate so we have to do 2822.4/32=88.2. I don't think the plug-in outputs 32-bit, so it would have to be converted to 24-bit. This would keep about 75% (24/32) of the DSD's audio data. Going to 96/24 wouldn't be a good idea, so 176.4/24 would be the next step up. This would be overkill by about 50% (2822.4/176.4=24, 24/16=1.5).
I'm sure DSD -> PCM conversion algorithms will keep being improved, so while I planned on doing 176.4/24 FLAC I'm thinking it would be better to do 88.2/24 and keep the .DFF/.DSD/SACD .ISO. Remember that even at 352.8/24 conversion can't be considered lossless.
When editing an image (lossless or not) I prefer to down-sample the final output slightly rather than up-sample it. This is based on the fact the original image may have slightly less than optimum spatial resolution, so downsampling gives me the feeling that the ouput is 'honest' (contains as much data as it should).
Any ideas on the dithering question?

That's why I said that 88.2kHz is not quite there.
Actually the definition of DSD is 1-bit with 64 times the CD samplerate (CD is PCM at 16 bit depth). So if you want precise calculation, you have 28822.4/16=176.4kHz@16 bit.
It makes no sense to divide to 32 bit since there are no real DAC's that can take advantage of that PCM bitdepth. Sabre, Texas Instruments and Wolfson have each one 32 bit DAC cip in production, but the datasheet performances are not better than previous 24 bit DAC cips. Actually, the higest quality are some "24 bit" DAC's. Even those reference DAC chips don't attain more than 20-21 bit of real resolution (the lowest 3-4 bit are just electrical noise). To make things worse, the best performance of the same top-of-the-line DAC cips happens at 96kHz (not at 192kHz). THD+N specs tell the story.
So, keeping the resulting PCM at 24 bit 88.2kHz is IMO the best solution.

Three New Berlin School Board members and two on the Muskego-Norway School Board are up for re-election in April.
On the New Berlin board, the terms of John Kegel, who is in his second term, and Tom David and Keith Hastings, both in their first terms, will expire.
Hastings said last week that he is undecided about another term, but, "I'm leaning toward it." David said Monday he had not decided. Kegel was available for comment by press deadline.
New Berlin School Board members serve for three year-terms and receive $3,500 annually, the same as last year. The board president receives $5,000.
On the Muskego-Norway board, the terms of Rick Petfalski, in his third term, and Brett Hyde, in his second, will expire in April.
Petfalski said he plans to seek a fourth term, saying he wants to help the district continue its track record of the last nine years of improving education while actually lowering property taxes for schools. Hyde was unavailable to comment by press deadline.
Effective after April's elections, the new annual salary for the Muskego-Norway board will be $4,195 for members and $4,545 for the board president.
Candidates for either board can file election papers from Monday until the filing deadline at 5 p.m. Jan. 2. New Berlin candidates can file at the District Office, 4333 S. Sunny Slope Road, and Muskego-Norway candidates at the Educational Services Center, W18763 Woods Road.
The election will be April 2. If a primary is needed, it will be held Feb. 19.

Sports briefs: Shaquille O'Neal buys share of Sacramento Kings
NBA • The larger-than-life figure who teased and tormented the Sacramento Kings is now the biggest name to join the franchise's new ownership group. The Kings announced Monday that Shaquille O'Neal has acquired a minority stake in the team under new owner Vivek Ranadive. The Kings will introduce the four-time NBA champion at a news conference Tuesday in Sacramento.
During the height of his career with the Los Angeles Lakers, O'Neal fueled the rivalry with the Kings with his play on the court and his personality off of it.
O'Neal handed Sacramento its biggest blow by rallying the Lakers from a 3-2 deficit to win the 2002 Western Conference finals, which is still a sore spot for Kings fans. The 7-foot-1 center even labeled the franchise the "Sacramento Queens" and accused fan favorite Vlade Divac whom he referred to as "she" at one point of flopping.
• The Miami Heat signed guard Larry Drew II, making him the 18th person on the roster for training camp with the two-time defending NBA champions. Drew II, the son son of Milwaukee Bucks coach Larry Drew, went undrafted out of UCLA. He averaged 7.5 points and 7.3 assists last season for the Bruins.
Team USA stays afloat in Cup race

Oracle closed the Kiwis' lead to 8-6 in the series. Team New Zealand has been on match point since Wednesday, only to watch Spithill and Oracle's 72-foot catamaran sail ahead in a determined attempt to keep the oldest trophy in international sports. Racing will resume Tuesday.

Well we're currently only making through ads, but as of now, we're making nothing yet probably in the future.
Currently since my blog is new nothing. And it wont be for a while because it will have to grow and such. So right now for a while it'll stay the same probably. I intend to make money with ads eventually.
We only earn through ads/donating. I'll need to try to find another way.
Nothing at the moment, unfortunately.
Nothing, I actually loose money with forums with paying the domain etc. But I don't intend ever in making money with forums, as its a hobby.
My site money are successful contracts with partner.And now I still work for that
Right now nothing , but I plan to ad ads later on .
Pretty good amount of money for just one ad.

All Cast & Crew >>
Summary:A lusty frontier saga about a pioneer woman and her love for her family, the man she marries and the land on which she lives, dramatized from Conrad Richter's Pulitzer Prize-winning trilogy. Emmy Award nominations went to Elizabeth Montgomery (her tenth), Hal Holbrook and Jeanette Nolan for their acting, Michel Hugo for his cinematography, Fred Karlin for his music score and Bernard J. Small for his film editing. The drama's authenticity came in part from the unusual speech patterns and dialects adapted for the actors by former dancer Marge Champion who drew upon an apparent family heritage for dialogue realism.

From first year through to the first half of their third
year, students in this program will create a study "menu" based on courses
chosen from all three of the above areas of study. Study will involve lectures,
seminars and practical exercises. In this way, they will acquire basic knowledge
and skills related to architecture and design, and extensive knowledge relevant
to the relationship between architecture - design and culture - society.
Beginning with the second semester of the third year, students will
begin to receive practical and theoretical education in small, studio-style
classes related to one of the three study areas outlined above. Students will be
mentored toward the final goal of graduating from the program in small groups by
a single teaching staff member (one for each group). This is the traditional
educational system of the architecture and design program.
