National Basketball League (Friday, YMCA)
Sharing v Diamonds
Falcons v City Oil
AFTER celebrating the rapid growth of the sport in recent years, leading voices in the elite Airtel National Basketball League (ANBL) are now grappling with the fall in match attendances this season and a seeming decline in the overall hype surrounding the game.
The 2014 ANBL season is over two months old but there is unrest over the new campaign's failure to generate excitement even though games have actually been quite dramatic, with several upsets witnessed already.
ANBL team managers are wondering how it has all gone wrong, just when it seemed like everything was going right.
Last year saw historic success for the amateur sport, with live NBL matches being televised on national TV for the first time ever.
It was also last season that sport governing body FUBA appeared to have won the war against the National Council of Sports (NCS) and telecommunications giant MTN over the Lugogo Indoor Stadium.
Last year, FUBA also made remarkable strides on the national team front, setting up the Mohammed Santur led national team committee that has turned out to be a highly inspired move.
By the end of last season, basketball seemed to be heading to a brave new world, where sponsors would beg to be a part of the experience.

Yet with the exception of the national team committee, which is firmly on course to deliver ahead of September's FIBA Afrobasket Zone V Qualifiers, the game has returned to its pre-TV days and the fans and sponsors appear to have been chased off.
Of course, the TV blackout is a direct result of the change in fortunes in the battle for Lugogo, where the NCS and MTN have bounced back to tactically push out the NBL on account of branding rights.
Without the indoor stadium, the notion of live NBL telecasts is largely improbable and without live telecasts, the NBL's power to attract new fans and sponsors diminishes.
However, there are also questions about whether sport governing body FUBA are doing enough to promote the NBL brand.
FUBA president Ambrose Tashobya is still overwhelmingly popular but there have always been questions about how much time he has for federation matters.
Tashobya himself admits that "FUBA need a CEO", someone whose day job is to run the sport.
Similarly, FUBA vice president in charge of publicity and marketing Ali Balunywa is increasingly coming under the spotlight, with many unhappy with his efforts.
Balunywa is a top marketing official for a giant national company and his duties there inevitably come at the expense of his voluntary service to FUBA.
NBL managers are now considering several options to reverse the slide in a sport that has enjoyed rapid growth over the last 15 years.
Mercifully, the highlights of the season are all still to come, namely the ANBL second round and playoffs, the FIBA Afrobasket Zone V Qualifiers and the Zone V club championships.

i am having problems calculating time for my mini Computer Based Training project.The system should calculate and monitortime spent by a trainee (2 hrs)on a pc and subtract it from the duration of the course (e.g 20hrs ) until the course is complete.The facilitator logs a trainee on the server and that should start the timer.
so i have my forms (GUI), a class called DataServices(containing methods and SQL statements to access database),and mySQL database.snipetts of my code;
LOGIC: endTime = startTime + 2hrs
span = endTime - startTime
if currentTime = endTime Or
currentTime - startTime = span then sessionEnded()
public class DataService {
private Date time = new Date();
dateFormat = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT);
how do you add or subtract time?how do you make your textfields accept/display time.how do you get current time at certain intervals?hrs/mins?
i came across something like:
startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
endTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
how and where do i declare and use these; or maybe i need a stopwatch?please help , i am not a good programmer.

Hi, welcome to the ranch!
I think you have the seeds for what you need there. The problem description sounds like you need to track the amount of time remaining out of the original 20 hours. You could start with the full 20 hours expressed as milliseconds:
long timeRemaining = 20 * MINUTES_PER_HOUR * SECONDS_PER_MINUTE * MILLIS_PER_SECOND;
and subtract each session. You were going the right direction for the length of each session - end time in millis minus start time in millis. Since we're in an OO language, let's encapsulate that timing in a StopWatch class as you suggested. Can you imagine very simple StopWatch code that would work like this?
StopWatch watch = new StopWatch(); watch.start(); ... do some stuff ... watch.stop(); long sessionDuration = watch.getElapsedMillis();
Write some real code and post what you have. I bet you're going to bring this together pretty quickly.
A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of the idea. John Ciardi
I agree. Here's the link:

A gentle exfoliant, lemon peel powder, made from the peel of the lemon fruit, is rich in the antioxidant Vitamin C, which helps protect and tone the skin. Vitamin C also contributes to natural exfoliation of dead skin cells while protecting against capillary damage.
Macadamia Nut oil is especially rich in palmitoleic acid, which is necessary for the skin's ability to retain moisture. Though naturally occurring in our skin, palmitoleic acid is depleted with age. Macadamia Nut oil replenishes levels of palmitoleic acid, making it especially beneficial for mature and very dry skin.
A light citrus smell, similar to orange
Pressed from the peel, mandarin essential oil is calming and soothing, as well as uplifting and balancing. This essential oil has antiseptic properties that cleanse and tone the skin, while regulating oil production.

Rosehip has an unusually high concentration of essential fatty acids, which help improve the texture, elasticity and suppleness of skin. Rosehip is also the only vegetable oil to contain tretinoin, which is a derivative of retinoic acid (Vitamin A). This bio available source of tretinoin works to reduce the appearance of fine lines and scars.
Rosemary contains rosmarinic acid, which stabilizes the shelf life of skin care products. In addition to its natural preservative properties, rosemary helps strengthen dermal capillaries and safeguard the HSP70 protein in the skin, which protects against oxidative stress.
Known for its rich therapeutic properties, this salt is extracted from the Dead Sea. Unlike traditional salt, it consists of numerous key minerals including magnesium, potassium and bromide, which aid in healing and moisture regulation.
Sesame's high essential fatty acid content supports skin's elasticity and suppleness, while also delivering moisture and hydration. Sesame Seed oil is rich in Vitamins A and E and contains the antioxidants sesamol and sesamin.
Shea Butter is made from cold pressing the nut of the Karite tree, which is native to West Africa. An emollient and excellent moisturizing base, Shea is known for its skin conditioning properties.

President Obama now wants a windfall profits tax assessed against the nation's top 20 to 30 banks to cover the estimated $120 billion in projected TARP losses, costs largely incurred from bailing out the failed insurer AIG, the automakers, and bad borrowers.
So which banks could be hit with the new "cash for flunkers" tax, by how much, and will it really raise tax revenues to cut down the deficit? Or will consumers have to pick up the tab?
Let's be real, this is a tax proposal that consumers or investors will have to pay for; a tax assessed against banks will get passed onto borrowers in the form of higher fees, or to investors, depending on what form it takes. Many of the banks that could be assessed have already repaid TARP with interest.
Bankers say to expect loan availability to shrink and stock trades to get hurt, too, if it passes.
And bankers could pull stakes and set up shop in less onerous tax regimes, hurting jobs in the financial sector even more.
The Treasury says it lost a net $68.5 billion on TARP in the year ending September 2009. Taxpayers have lost $30.4 billion on AIG, $30.4 billion on the automakers, and $27.1 billion on the government's new Home Affordable Modification Program.
Which Banks Get Taxed?
Bank lobby groups are already saying borrowers will have to pay the fee, and they're crunching the numbers (see below). Bank of America (BAC), JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Citibank (C) could each pay about $20 billion for this "cash for flunkers" tax.
So now you have yet another political iteration of the TARP tax aimed at the banks to pay for the deficit. A tax which President Obamainitially suggested at a night-time press conference last July as a way to pay for a new slush fund to wind down too-big-to-fail banks (see column,"Why a Tax On Wall Street to Create Jobs Won't Work").
The tax then morphed into a job creation-deficit-buster tax, now resurfacing as the levy to pay for taxpayer losses at the failed insurer AIG and the automakers, and to ostensibly pay down the deficit, the size of which has not been seen since World War II, as the government and the Federal Reserve have bought or financed about three-quarters of the U.S.'s annual GDP to rescue the banks and the economy.
Bankers a No Show
Whether the president can slap a TARP tax against the banks when the Administration can't get bankers to attend meetings at the White House remains to be seen. Heated banker opposition to the tax is already picking up, as the White House plans to include the tax in its upcoming budget proposals.
To date, there is no talk of a tax on banker bonuses. Another political trial balloon was floated this week when a potential quarter percentage point tax on securities trades was resurrected once again, likely targeting flash trades made by high-speed computers on Wall Street. Too much opposition there, as even the Treasury secretary Tim Geithner says those taxes will just get passed along to investors.
Banks Say Consumers Will Get Hurt
Banks are already passing along to consumers higher fees to compensate for higher costs incurred by new overdraft and credit card legislation.
The new tax on the banks "will reduce lending capacity and will increase the cost of goods and services," says Scott Talbott, senior vice president of government affairs at The Financial Services Roundtable, a bank lobby group.
The last time the U.S. saw a windfall profits tax was in 1980, when the Carter Administration got Congress to slap a windfall profits tax on oil companies to recoup the revenue earned by oil companies as a result of the sharp spike in oil prices triggered by the OPEC oil embargo.
Gorillas in Three-Piece Bankers Suits
To be sure, a gorilla in a three-piece banker's suit could make money in this environment. The Federal Reserve has dropped rates to record lows, helping banks to borrow cheaply and then lend out that money at higher prices, known as the "carry trade," a profit machine motoring along nicely due to the steep yield curve.
The government also forced through a relaxation of the mark-to-market rules, which required banks and companies to take profit hits once they price their assets as if they were going to sell them today, even though they were sitting on them instead. Steep profit smackdowns as many of those assets were, and still are, priced for the Ice Age.
It's political season in DC, with the midterms looming, and bankers are in season. It's payback time.
Lip Service to Deficit Cutting
But despite the lip service paid toward cutting the deficit, rest assured that cutting the deficit would be last on the government's list of things to do once the revenue from a cash for flunkers tax comes pouring in, because there will always be more spending, more talk of more taxes, more spending, more pork to be found to preserve power, more regulation to control our lives.
More, more, more to keep our teetering, supersize-me government going.
Because fiscally responsible politicians are an endangered species in Washington.
Who Gets Socked?
Research groups Concept Capital and SNL Financial have come up with a breakdown of a purported $100 billion cost of the TARP tax for the nation's top 25 largest banks, as reported by Barnes. In other words, how much their borrowers and investors could get hit.
The two research firms figure the tax would be based on a bank's total liabilities. That means it would be similar to the deposit insurance assessment. The two firms note that the House financial reform bill includes a similar assessment to raise $200 billion to cover potential future rescues.
TARP Tax Costs to Banks (25 Largest Banks)
Bank of America $22.7 B
JPMorgan Chase $21.4 B
Citigroup $19.9 B
Wells Fargo $12.5 B

WEST POINT, N.Y. — Two West Point cadets are being credited with rescuing two stranded kayakers on the Hudson River.
The U.S. Military Academy says Cadet Sam Mo and Cadet Daniel Bleyl swam out into the river late Wednesday night after hearing the kayakers cries for help. Mo, a member of the Class of 2016 from Great Neck, N.Y. and Bleyl, a member of the Class of 2014 from Tucson, Ariz., swam 300 to 400 yards to get to the kayakers.
The pair, both members of the Army swim team, treaded water for about 20 minutes until help arrived. A third cadet swim team member notified emergency officials.
A power boat used by West Points crew team helped the victims to shore. The unidentified victims were treated for exposure.

I'm looking to replace the Reynolds Ouzo Pro on my VaMoots 56cm (2004+\-). The Moots site specs a 45 rake.
Is that the final word? There seems to be some threads that indicate 43 or even 40.
I'll go with either the enve 2.0 or Moots fork (kind of partial to a black fork).
Any thoughts or comments. This is one I don't want to get wrong. I don't recall the rake on the Reynolds fork.

Innovation within the Hub: How Boston is Creating its own Destiny*
Written by: Zach Pearson on Friday, April 13, 2012 | Leave a Comment
Each year, when the Boston Marathon rolls around, I feel a renewed sense of pride for the city in which I live. On the third Monday of every April, when elite athletes travel to Boston to compete in the world's oldest annual marathon, this pride certainly grows stronger and I think, "hey, I live in a pretty cool city."
Last week I read an article written by the Globe's Scott Kirsner that reinforced this sentiment, offering up things the Bay State can and should be proud of; not in terms of athletics and traditions, but in terms of technology and innovation. What made the list? Our leadership in life sciences; fostering entrepreneurship; our top notch colleges and universities; our local hangouts, which allow for the exchange of innovative ideas; contribution from big companies such as Microsoft, Raytheon and iRobot and the accomplishments of Terrafugia, the creators of a flying car.
So what about the areas the Bay State needs to work on? Kirsner argued that Massachusetts isn't creating enough public, economy-invigorating companies, we ignore potentially lucrative consumer-oriented innovation, we make it hard for talented foreign college graduates to remain stateside and we don't mint enough "angel" investors, who fund cool startups.
Well put.
As far as the areas in which the Bay State is doing well, a few other areas could have made the list. What about renewable energy and clean technology? Just yesterday, our client Harvest Power, a Waltham-based startup that turns food scraps into energy, received $110 million in series C funding, a milestone that will undoubtedly propel the organic waste industry forward. Or, how about companies like BigBelly Solar which uses solar power to cut waste collection trips by 80%? And, you can't forget Boston's robust information technology and cloud computing industry. In addition to the heavy (IT) hitters like EMC and Akamai, cloud start-ups in the Boston area, such as Cloudant, Sonian and Kinvey, are making quite a splash in the industry.
When it comes to innovation, Boston is no Silicon Valley, a sentiment that many Bostonians are probably sick of hearing. But, maybe we don't want to be Silicon Valley. Massachusetts is a unique area with deep historic roots and is home to many extremely bright individuals. Boston can and should create its own path of innovation, and I would argue that we are already doing this. As Kirsner noted, there are always areas for improvement, but from the work being done to develop breakthrough medical treatments to the conversion of organic waste into energy, we are making great strides just like the marathoners will on Monday.

Who Wins in a U.S.-China Solar Panel Trade War?*
Written by: Paul on Tuesday, January 24, 2012 | Leave a Comment
Greenough prides itself on our knowledge of the clean tech industry and our ability to serve clients in that industry, which includes solar, wind and biogas, among others. One on-going issue of critical interest across the clean energy industry is Chinese solar panel sales in the U.S.
In early February, the International Trade Commission (ITC) will announce the results of its investigation into alleged solar panel "dumping" by Chinese manufacturers. The possibility of ITC-imposed tariffs against Chinese and other international manufacturers has prompted vocal protest on both sides of the issue by a number of U.S. companies operating in the solar industry.
To understand the full story, it's worth going back to the genesis of the dispute. SolarWorld Industries America, a U.S. subsidiary of a German-owned corporation, petitioned the U.S. Department of Commerce to determine whether Chinese solar panel manufacturers had obtained export subsidies from the Chinese government. The Commerce Department tasked the ITC with a slate of hearings to assess whether Chinese manufacturers were taking advantage of in-country subsidies and consequently "dumping" solar panels into the U.S. market for less than it costs to manufacture and distribute them.
Companies affected by the issue quickly toed the line in opposing camps, and are watching closely as the ITC proceeds. The Coalition for American Solar Manufacturing (CASM) was first to vocalize its position, led by SolarWorld, and CASM is now rolling out a well-crafted messaging and advocacy campaign in coordination with SolarWorld's formal petition to the Commerce Department. More recently, the Coalition for American Solar Energy (CASE) entered the debate by charging that tariffs placed on Chinese solar panel manufacturers would amount to "protectionism" and would actually harm the U.S. solar industry – not to mention the ever-advancing goal of grid parity.
Who is right? The ITC is scheduled to announce its determination on February 6 (though this could be pushed back for 30 or even 60 days). Regardless of the ITC determination, this dispute over trade policy will likely continue in other areas of the solar industry, and will have direct impacts on both upstream and downstream businesses in the U.S. solar space. Watch this space for further commentary on the decision.

Great Game!
From the same makers of Knights of the Old Republic, follows a roughly similar excellent game experience.
Learn Kung-Fu and battle across ancient china. Excellent gameplay and story. There is plenty of re-play value as well. I've never had any downloading or in-game issues. Runs well and is fun. Would have been better if they had made some changes to the fighting styles, don't get amped up for drunken boxing it sucks in this game, however it is a fun game.

Pella Thwomps Carlisle in Homecoming Rout
Posted By Sports On September 28, 2013 @ 6:00 am In Today's Local Sports | Comments Disabled
Carlisle broke a 65-yard run on their opening possession to take an early 7-0 lead on Pella, but from there it was all Little Dutch as they cruised to a 44-7 Homecoming win. It was big play after big play for Pella throughout the first half including two touchdowns from Quinton Murphy, as well as touchdown runs by Nathan Henry and Lucas Steenhoek plus a field goal from Seth Johnson as Pella built a 31-7 halftime lead and didn't look back from there. Coach Jay Mckinstrey said he was very pleased with the all-around play of his team, but called Murphy's long run the play of the game. Murphy finished with 89 yards on just three carries, Steenhoek tallied 88 yards on three carries and Nathan Henry had 84 yards on seven carries as Pella rolled up 350 total yards, 329 of which came via the rushing attack. Pella improved to 5-0 overall and 2-0 in Class 3A District 8 and will travel to Chariton for another district match-up Friday night.

Dolphins not looking to release Marshall for now
Posted by Josh Katzowitz
Earlier today we told you about the latest soap opera installment in the career of Buccaneers CB Aqib Talib, who apparently will be released by Tampa Bay when the NFL reopens for business.
While Talib (charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon) and Dolphins WR Brandon Marshall – who allegedly was stabbed by his wife late Friday night – both could be labeled as "troubled players," Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald doesn't believe Marshall will suffer the same fate as Talib.
That means, though Marshall hasn't always been a model teammate or representative of the NFL – he's had quite a few domestic disturbance issues during his last stop in Denver – the Dolphins aren't looking to get rid of him at this point.
Writes Salguero in rather frank terms:
"And this is supposed to surprise me how?" a Dolphins player texted Saturday morning when told of what happened to the Miami wide receiver.
Understand that Marshall is the alleged victim here. He did not stab anyone. He was stabbed. So the Dolphins – unable to contact him directly because of the NFL lockout – let their player know they fully support him and want the best for him by sending him well wishes.
But despite the strong support, the Dolphins are wary of Marshall's issues and worried about his future.
They don't know all the facts of Friday's domestic-violence incident. They don't know how the whole episode began. And they do know Marshall's history.
And that's where the concern is born.
Adding to the Dolphins' concern is that Marshall will be in the second year of a five-year deal worth $47.3 million ($12.5 million of that was guaranteed, and the Dolphins also gave up two second-round picks to acquire him). And though he's been clean for the last year in Miami and though he might not be at fault for this latest incident (his wife, however, told police she stabbed him in self-defense), it's clear that Marshall still has plenty of issues in his life.
For now, though, the Dolphins will plan on keeping Marshall around. But that's also not completely guaranteed if the club, as it continues to collect the facts about what happened this weekend, feels like it has a solid reason not to do so.

A closer look at Marshall and his wife
Posted by Andy Benoit
If he could, Brandon Marshall would probably set his Facebook relationship status to "married" AND "it's complicated". The Dolphins wide receiver was hospitalized late Friday night/early Saturday morning after being stabbed by his wife, Michi Nogami-Marshall. Michi was in jail Saturday on one count of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
This was not the couple's first domestic dispute. On March 1, 2009, Marshall was arrested in Atlanta for disorderly conduct after allegedly being involved in a fight with Michi, who was his fiancée at the time. (Marshall had multiple domestic disputes while in Denver, but they were with a different woman.)
Marshall and Michi met when Marshall was at Central Florida. They married in 2010. Marshall said in an interview with the Miami Herald last year that Michi, a psychology major, was helping him learn to deal with his quick temper.
"She is turning my life around. I am a very passionate, emotional person, and she is teaching me to channel that," Marshall said. "My life is so much calmer now."
Marshall admits that calm, collective thinking is something that doesn't always come naturally to him.
"From the time I was 6, I was taught to react on the field, not to think, to make decisions in a millisecond, and the problem is, I was doing that in my life, too," Marshall said. "I was reacting, never taking a moment to step back and think things through. And I had a temper. Someone made me mad, I'd fight back. I wanted to win every argument. Now, I realize it's OK to step away and lose an argument."
It will be interesting to hear what Marshall has to say next time he's asked about Michi.

Brandon Marshall out of hospital after stabbing
Posted by Andy Benoit
As the Denver police came to find out during Marshall's career as a Bronco, domestic disturbance is not uncommon in the Marshall household. There were countless issues from '06 - '09; in '08 Marshall served a one-game suspension for violating the league's personal conduct policy. Marshall was involved with a domestic issue with Michi in Atlanta two years ago, but all charges were dropped when the couple refused to testify against one another. It's worth noting that the 27-year-old wideout has not been in trouble since signing a four-year, $47.5 million contract with Miami last season.
Despite the lockout's rules prohibiting contact between players and teams, the Dolphins are allowed to be in touch with Marshall to send well wishes (we learned there can be exceptions to the "no contact" rule a few weeks ago when Bengals' defensive end Antwan Odom's house burnt down).
Albert Breer of NFL Network was told by the league that Dolphins team doctors are also allowed to see Marshall and consult with his doctors.

Hot Routes 4.20.11 a time for hypotheticals
Brandon Marshall thinks Ryan Mallett will be an All-Pro.
Norv Turner believes that being at home in three of the first four games will give the Chargers an opportunity to get off to a fast start (for a change).

Ozzie Newsome says the Sergio Kindle story "is not written yet". (True, but the first few chapters were sure bad.)
Based on 2010 records, the Carolina Panthers have the toughest 2011 schedule in the NFL. (Reason why: they don't get to play the Carolina Panthers.)
Bengals season ticket holder Dr. Kim Brady will have the honor of announcing the team's fourth round draft pick this year. (Expect it to be a player with some sort of criminal record.)

Offseason Checkup: Miami Dolphins
Posted by Josh Katzowitz
Eye on Football's playing doctor for every NFL team with our Offseason Check-ups .
Entering their Monday Night Football matchup against the Patriots in Week 4, the Dolphins had to be feeling confident in their chances of beating New England in Miami. The Dolphins defense had looked good in knocking off the Bills and Vikings (which, at the time, was considered a pretty good win), and then Miami played the Jets to a close loss before the Patriots came to town.
A 41-14 disaster later, Miami fired special teams coach John Bonamego and never got more than a game above .500 for the rest of the season (and, in fact, finished the year at 7-9).
Coach on the hot seat, quarterback
Although Tony Sparano took a 1-15 team and turned it into an 11-5 division title winner a year later (beating out the Patriots for the honor), he's gone 7-9 in back-to-back seasons. Apparently, owner Stephen Ross listened to Bill Parcells' recommendation and decided to bring back Sparano for another season (though Ross DID disgustingly go out of his way to woo Jim Harbaugh for the job). But the specter of Jon Gruden and Bill Cowher still are out there and until Sparano is off the hot seat, fans will wonder about their availability.
Sparano would get a great deal of help if QB Chad Henne could put together a consistent season. WR Brandon Marshall blasted his QB at the end of last season and said he actually works better with QB Tyler Thigpen (a major ZING, by the way). It's too early to give up on Henne, especially now that Chad Pennington will miss all of 2011 because of a torn ACL, but it's getting to the point where Henne needs to show somebody something.
1. Running back
On paper, the duo of Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams would seem a surefire way for the Dolphins to rack up rushing yards and plenty of touchdowns. Yet, the Dolphins managed to finish 21st in running last season. There's a good chance that neither back will return to Miami next year, leaving Patrick Cobbs and Lex Hilliard on the roster at RB. Which means the Dolphins will need some big-time help at that spot and which is why Alabama's Mark Ingram might be a good draft pick (though the Dolphins might want to trade down instead).
2. Offensive line
You know what doesn't help your third-string quarterback perform better? A terribly inconsistent offensive line. That's what Tyler Thigpen faced in Miami's 16-0 loss to the Bears in Week 11 – a line missing starters Jake Long and Joe Berger who then watched backup Cory Procter get injured on the second offensive series, meaning Richie Incognito had to move from guard to center. Miami could make a play for a solid center in the draft.
3. Keep improving the defense
n 2009, the Dolphins ranked 25th in the league in defense, but last year, they improved that number to No. 13. Most of the starting front seven is solid, but Miami's DBs had a tough time hanging onto interceptions last season. It also would help if they got more playmakers in the secondary.
After Ross stopped emasculating Sparano for Harbaugh and then gave him a two-year extension, Ross made it clear he wanted a more aggressive, more exciting offense. Sparano, though, said he plans to keep running the ball more often than not. Could we see both? I suppose, though I kind of doubt it.
I also don't see a playoff run with Miami, considering the Patriots and Jets still will be battling for AFC East supremacy. All of which means the meddling Ross probably will fire Sparano, and then, everybody can just start over again in Miami. Which means we might not see good pro football in Miami for a while.

A Brandon Marshall update
Posted by Andy Benoit
Dolphins receiver Brandon Marshall is finally honing his craft during an offseason.
"For the past three years I haven't had a chance to get better in the offseason," Marshall said Thursday on WQAM-560 AM, via Ben Volin of the Palm Beach Post. "I've had two hip surgeries back-to-back, an arm surgery before that, that took away my whole offseason. I've just been focusing on getting healthy, and that conditioning, that burst hasn't been there, and I've just been going off my natural ability."
That isn't the case this year. The 27-year-old wideout began working out with his personal trainer a month after Miami's season ended. (If you want to partake in the same workouts Marshall is doing, you can visit his website and download them…for a small fee.)
Marshall makes the athlete's age-old claim that he's in the best shape of his career.
"Where I'm at today, it doesn't even compare to where I was during any time during the season last year or the season before that," he said. "This two months we've been working, I'm back to that guy that was training to the Combine. My body fat is down to like 7 percent – when I was in college I was at 6 percent. My hips are feeling great, knees are feeling great. Just, man, it's beautiful."
Marshall also spoke to ScoresReport.com about his relationship with quarterback Chad Henne. The brash receiver grew frustrated with the third-year quarterback at times last season.
"It was a tough transition (from Denver to Miami), but Chad is a guy that is capable of making some things happen and he's still a young guy," Marshall said. "I'm sure he's going to take what happened last year, learn from it and grow. I'm going to do the same and I'm going to try and not only get our offense, but our whole team on the same page and moving in the right direction. I'm excited about the opportunity to work together this offseason and get things corrected."
Marshall missed two games in '10 and failed saw his streak of consecutive 100-catch seasons end at three. The Dolphins finished a disappointing 7-9.

Brandon Marshall gives up dream of playing in NBA
Posted by Will Brinson
During the 2010 season, Brandon Marshall repeatedly stated that he'd like to play in the NBA if the NFL locked players out and there was no 2011 season.
Ignoring the problem of the NBA dealing with labor issues, we presented a case -- along with our Eye on Basketball brethren -- why Marshall probably wouldn't be able to cut it in the L. It appears he agrees now, and has given up that [pipe] dream.
According to Lindsay Jones of the Denver Post, Marshall said the idea to play in the NBA if there's a lockout "is dead."
Apparently, he "tried to play recently [and] realized he didn't have it."
Curiously, this sounds just like the last time I tried to play basketball. (And I'm not a world-class athlete -- I'm just a "moderately lean" blogger.)
Which isn't to say that Marshall and I share any physical attributes whatsoever. It's just an indication of how difficult it is to play in a particular professional sports league, even if you already compete at an extremely high level.
Besides, Marshall's already got a gig-in-waiting as an NFL analyst.

We will be in Thailand for 3 weeks, visiting Bangkok and Chiang Mai. We'd like to visit a local market, to see the color, smell the spices, food, enjoy the local fare.
What market would you recommend for us to see for authenticity (not interested in purchasing pirated video, T shirts from China nor electronic ... )
thank you,

In Chang Mai the Walolot or Warorot however it's spelled. Three or four floors, you'll be sure to smell the "spices" also great food to go. Dominates the surrounding blocks with traffic coming and going through narrow lanes. Best market I've yet to see in SEAsia.

Agree with somsai - other good markets in Bangkok include:
Thewet market: smallish but very accessible, a lot of fish and fresh veges. Easy walking distance from Khao San Road
Khlong Toei: One of the biggest wet markets in Bkk. Huge meat section (the live chook bit is not for the squemish) tremendous amount of seafood and then everything from corn to canned tomatoes. It's a cab ride or also accessible via the subway.

In Bangkok you could try the large Aw Taw Kaw market near Chatuchak too. It's open every day I think.

Madmac Siam Paragon is what I'm familiar with in Bangkok and I don't think that's what they're after.
Embarrased to say I've never been to a big local market in Bangkok. I've put Aw Taw Kaw, Klong Toei, and Thewet in my to do list for next time.

somsai, think Or Tor Kor (Aw Taw Kaw) is what you will like:
& also Nang Loeng market:
(has a relatively famous duck with 'palo' egg kuaytiaw stall; hopefully the red/yellow shirts don't act up in the area again...)
for those interested in flowers (& making of phuang malai garlands), Pak Khlong market late at night:
about Khlong Toey market...don't wish to alarm, but just FYI disputes there have turned ugly before - 2 grenade incidents late last year & fatal shooting earlier this year, things got a bit confrontational over plans to redevelop the place. targets are market security guards & vendors, but perhaps those interested in visiting should ask around & find out more on current situation, just in case things flare up again.

Personally I don't think you're missing anything. They tend to stink, get pretty damn hot (you know Bangkok - concrete jungle which retains heat)... you can get some good deals if you're willing to haggle a lot. I recently bought five shirts that I really did like in Klong Toey for 80 baht a whack - and they are pretty nice. I find those markets OK for practical reasons, but I would never go to one just to "experience it". The experience is wrestling with crowds, being hot and putting up with odors that would make a billy goat puke. Siam Paragon is much nicer.

Governor's Trace B&B
Host/Hostess: Dick and Sue Lake. Governor's Trace is the closest bed and breakfast to Colonial Williamsburg, and "...vies for the most romantic (B&B in Williamsburg)..."WASHINGTON POST. And it is the only B&B in the area to serve a candlelit breakfast directly in your room. It is just a one minute walk from George Washington's favorite tavern - Christiana Campbell's in the historic area. Step out the front door onto streets trod by Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry or follow the chain encumbered footsteps of 13 of Blackbeard's pirates from the jail to the site of the gallows tree just down Capitol Landing road. The Georgian brick home completed during the restoration sits on over 1/2 an acre and shares a common living history with its illustrious neighbor Colonial Williamsburg.

The drive along Interstate 275 is the scene of a battlefield. Thousands of giant soldiers are in a battle to save their lives. Unfortunately, the enemies are winning. With too many forces working against them, the soldiers don't stand a chance. They need replacements.
The drive, that once provided an awesome view of expansive greenery, is now a scene of barren and broken limbs and masses of dead or dying trees. Throughout the Tristate region, thousands of trees are caught in a battle against disease, insect infestations and invasive species. The emerald ash borer, an invasive beetle which bores into trees and disrupts the flow of nutrients, is now attacking the nine species of native ash throughout the region.
In total, more than 20 million trees will inevitably be lost to the emerald ash borer in the Tri-State region within the next 10 years.
Other insects are also threatening the tree canopy. In Clermont County, the Asian longhorned beetle is responsible for the loss of 9,000 trees. Although this beetle is expected to be contained and eradicated, it has caused significant damage, and its potential to return requires continued vigilance. Another new threat is the walnut twig beetle, which carries a fungus fatal to black walnut trees.
Insect infestations are not the only threats to the region's trees. Disease and other invasive species also endanger local forests. With the increase of invasive plants like honeysuckle and the flowering pear, forests can't regenerate and open areas can't re-forest as they have in the past. The tree seedlings that do survive often fall victim to deer, whose growing population consume young plants before they have a chance to mature. With all these factors working against them, trees and forests are struggling
What can be done to keep the trees we have and replace the ones that are lost? The Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments, the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden, the Green Partnership for Greater Cincinnati and the Green Umbrella have joined forces to create Taking Root, a broad-based campaign to address the current and historic loss of the region's tree canopy. Through education and improved management, the campaign hopes to better maintain existing trees and also to plant 2 million trees by 2020 (one for everyone in the region).
This is not the first time the region's trees have been victims of a battle. In the late 1800s, much of the region had been de-forested. It was during this time when Cincinnati became a prominent leader in the movement to conserve the nation's forestry. In 1875, Cincinnati natives formed the American Forestry Association. Seven years later, the First Annual Forestry Congress was held in Cincinnati. It called for "the discussion of subjects relating to tree planting: the conservation, management, and renewal of forests." Two days later, the superintendent of Cincinnati schools, John B. Peaslee, closed all schools and every Cincinnati child went to an abandoned vineyard and planted trees. That vineyard is now Eden Park.
In order to overcome the loss of the region's tree canopy, the community must once again come together. Trees cannot fight this battle on their own, and their loss would result in devastating environmental and economic consequences. Taking Root is leading the battle to save the region's trees through a collaborative effort in which communities will be provided opportunities to join the fight and help ensure that trees come out the winner.
For more information on the battle and how you can help, go to www.takingroot.info.

|Methylmalonic and malonic aciduria in a dog with progressive encephalomyelopathy.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 8869944 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|A 12 week old female Labrador retriever dog with signs of progressive diffuse degeneration of the brain and spinal cord was found to have methylmalonic and malonic aciduria. Over a 5 month period, the dog developed neurologic signs compatible with disease of the central nervous system with predominant diffuse cerebral and right lateralizing brainstem deficits. Gross pathological examination of the brain showed that the lateral, third, and fourth ventricles of the brain were markedly enlarged and associated with white and grey matter atrophy. Syringomyelia and hydromyelia of the central canal into the dorsal funiculus of the spinal cord beginning at the level of the cervical intumescence and extending to the lumbar intumescence was also present. Significant biochemical abnormalities include methylmalonic and malonic aciduria, mild lactic and pyruvic aciduria. There was also accumulation of citric acid cycle intermediates including succinic, aconitic, and fumaric acids. Disordered fatty acid oxidation was suggested by increased excretion of adipic, ethylmalonic, suberic and sebacic acids. Neither ketoacidosis nor hyperammonemia were present, and serum cobalamin levels were normal. Overall, this dog demonstrates an inborn error of metabolism resulting in abnormal organic acid accumulation associated with a neurodegenerative disease.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP) - A Bowling Green company is serving as the front line of defense for military computers against hackers and malware.
EWA Government Systems Inc., uses 14 people to find and neutralize computer intrusions for the U.S. Department of Defense.
The company's vice president of intelligent operations, Ed Tivol, told the Daily News the company aims to defeat what are known as "script kiddies." Tivol describes those as professionals who are state-sponsored computer terrorists around the world. The U.S. Department of Defense often asks for third-party monitors to handle those problems.
The company is located in the Western Kentucky University Small Business Accelerator. While much of the work is classified, Tivol says the company does try to mitigate an attack in real time.

Up and Down
I can definitly see some contracts being handed out this year; Tyrell, Fadden, Harju, even Helenius if he keeps it up.
Of course most of the euros that were suppose to head our way this year - Koshechkin, the K brothers,even holmquist - are losing ground fast.
Could get really interesting next year in goal if Kosheckin and Helenius get signed and they resign Boutin and/or Munce.
Does anyone want to take "another" swing at whats gonna happen to our Gmen???
Holmquist, Denis, Ramo, Koshechkin, Munce, Boutin, Helenius
If Denis puts together some solid performances as a backup and another team goalie help do we trade hime or keep him for the sake of chemistry (the teams motto) adn to have a solid backup down the stretch???

TRISH CHOATE: Texas chose to be a part of the U.S.
WASHINGTON — The more than 100,000 — and counting — signers of a petition for Texas to peacefully secede from the United States might envision a return to the glorious, good old days when the Lone Star State was a sovereign nation.
Except they weren't the good old days, the way the chief historian of the Texas State Historical Association tells it.
Randolph B. "Mike" Campbell, a history professor at the University of North Texas, said talk of secession might be more pronounced among Lone Star State residents because of the state's history.
It was the Republic of Texas, an independent nation, for about 10 years before joining the United States in 1845.
The good times did not roll during those 10 years of independence.
"Texas was very, very insecure," Campbell said.
Texians had declared their independence from Mexico and formed their own country, but Mexico wasn't convinced. Mexican forces invaded Texas twice in 1842, occupying and capturing San Antonio.
"They were constantly threatened by Mexico," Campbell said. "Most Texans were aware in order to maintain security, they either needed protection from Great Britain or they needed to join the United States."
Times might seem uncertain now with a shaky economy, and Congress dawdling over the fiscal cliff, a behemoth of tax and budget issues threatening to further shake the economy if left unresolved.
But at least the Mexican military isn't taking possession of the Riverwalk in San Antonio and its environs.
Invasion wasn't the only worry for the citizens of the Republic of Texas.
"It was weak financially, and when you're weak financially, you're in trouble every other way," Campbell said. "It built up a huge debt by the standards of that day."
Citizens of the Republic of Texas were actually thrilled to become citizens of the United States and gain security, he said.
They chose to do so.
"Some people in Texas like to say that Texas never even joined the Union properly," Campbell said.
But in fact, a convention met and voted in favor of it, he said. Then Texas voters approved it in a referendum.
In 1861, Texas seceded and joined the Confederate States of America, Campbell said. Texas was a slave state.
What followed was four years of war, defeat and more than 600,000 lives lost total in the Civil War, he said. Texas' losses were horrifying.
"What I would like to think is that kind of destruction would also have destroyed the notion of secession," he said.
Campbell and other experts agree Texas doesn't have any special right to legally secede — contrary to popular belief.
"Somehow it's in the culture. It's absolutely untrue," he said.
Secession talk these days is a statement of protest against President Obama's re-election more than anything, he said.
"I sit here and very comfortably say, they don't really mean it," Campbell said.
But before the Civil War, most people also probably thought secessionists didn't really mean it, he said.
"And that didn't work very well," Campbell said.
By Wednesday afternoon, the Texas secession petition filed online at Whitehouse.gov had 100,322 signers. The White House reviews petitions with more than 25,000 signatures.
Texas regional reporter Trish Choate grew up in Texas and still considers the Lone Star State her home. She can be reached at 202-408-2709 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis January 16, 2015
In the last two days, 25 jihadi suspects were rounded up and secret cells broken down in Belgium, France and Germany. But these counter-terror operations lifted only corners of the Islamist terrorist network of active cells spread across Europe by dedicated killers, armed to the teeth and expertly trained in Syria, Iraq or Afghanistan in the skills of mass murder. debkafile: notes that operational cooperation among Europe's intelligence and security services is far too rare and a central continental anti-terror mechanism for shared strategy and intelligence sorely missing.
DEBKAfile Special Report January 15, 2015
Belgian security and special operations units raided 10 apartments in the eastern town of Verviers and Brussels Thursday, Jan. 15, in search of native jihadis back from Syria who had formed cells to carry out what federal prosecutors called terrorist attacks "on a grand scale," similar to the terrorist violence that swept Paris last week. In Verviers, two ISIS-linked jihadis were killed and one arrested after they opened fire on the forces. Explosions and gunshots were heard from the clash. One police source said: "We have averted a Belgian Charlie Hebdo."
DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis January 11, 2015
French intelligence failures over the Charlie Hebdo terror attack will not be gilded over. Contrary to a French police statement, Hayat Boumeddiene, wife of the terrorist Amedy Coulibaly who murdered four Jews in cold blood at the kosher supermarket. Friday, Jan. 9, was never in the store at all but had been able to skip from France to Syria a week earlier.
Kouachi brothers die in suicidal attack on French siege force. Four hostages killed in Jewish Paris mini-market
DEBKAfile Special Report January 9, 2015
Four hostages held by Islamist gunmen at a Jewish grocery store in Paris were reported dead Friday, Jan. 9 by French police, shortly after a rescue operation that killed the gunman, Amedy Coulibaly, who earlier shot dead a policewoman. Other captives were set free. Minutes before, Said and Cherif Kouachi died in a shooting attack on the police siege force at a factory near Dammartin-en-Goelle, 40 km northeast of Paris. The two Charlie Hebdo killers were holed up there threatening to "die as martyrs" with their hostage before going on the offensive.
Dozens of armed Salafist, Palestinian casualties in Egyptian copter strike in support of Gaza blockade
DEBKAfile Special Report September 3, 2013
Egyptian Air Force helicopter gun-ships surprised Salafist and Palestinian terrorists Tuesday, Sept. 3, with 13 rockets fired into two gatherings at Al-Muataa and Touma, south of the town of Sheikh Zuweid near the northern Sinai border with the Gaza Strip. Egyptian security officials reported "dozens" killed and wounded. debkafile: Egyptian forces are carving out two security zones for blocking the transit of Hamas and Jihad Islami gunmen between Sinai and the Gaza Strip. The Apaches struck the Salafists and Palestinians rioting against this operation.
DEBKAfile Special Report January 7, 2013
President Obama sent US Undersecretary for Defense Intelligence Michael Vickers to Cairo Sunday, Jan. 12 to try and revitalize the counter-terror war in Libya and Sinai. debkafile: Obama needs to show action on fighting terror before the murder of US Ambassador Christ Stevens in Benghazi by al Qaeda comes up in congress and hampers the endorsement of Chuck Hagel as defense secretary and John Brennan as Central Intelligence Director, who were nominated Monday.

The Christmas season is upon us, which means it's that special time of year for the American Civil Liberties Union and Americans United for the Separation of Church and State to make sure no wayward city council will allow a whiff of frankincense on government property. They must send out direct-mail fundraising letters asking "Help Us Crush a Creche at Christmas!"
The Christmas season is also that time of year when the business world implores us to consider the material as more important than the spiritual, all in the spirit of "the holidays." So we celebrate the arrival on Christmas Day of iPods and DVDs.
This year, there's a new twist. The nativity scene has become commercialized -- but in a way you would never imagine.
Reuters reports that an angry Italian priest persuaded the makers of the energy drink Red Bull to withdraw an animated advertisement on Italian television that has a fourth Wise Man arriving at the scene of the nativity to add a case of Red Bull to the frankincense, gold and myrrh. Father Marco Damanti, from Sicily, denounced their cartoon as "a blasphemous act" and said he had received a prompt reply promising to discontinue it.
"The image of the sacred family has been represented in a sacrilegious way," Father Damanti told the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera. "Whatever the ironic intentions of Red Bull, the advert pokes fun at the nativity and at Christian sensitivity." The priest also objected to the company's regular slogan, "Red Bull gives you wings," illustrated at the commercial's end by flying angels singing Hallelujah.
You can find the ad on YouTube, and while the Fourth Wise Man shtick is vulgar huckstering, the angels singing at the end is sort of sweet, if you overlook the fact that they're singing glory to God for the manufacturing of Red Bull. But then, it's hard to judge the ad in its entirety without an Italian translator. For all I know, it's possible that when the Virgin Mary speaks in the ad, she's saying, "I'm going to need an energy drink after those twice-a-night feedings."
It's interesting that Red Bull would run the ad in Italy and not in the United States, which suggests they can sense which markets are more amenable to the "ironic intentions" of advertising. It would not be wrong to state that many Europeans view Christianity like a faded old painting -- it looks nice and induces nostalgia, but it doesn't have much modern relevance.
