2010-2011 NBA Atlantic Division Preview
As the phrase has long been applied to life is recited: for every action there is a reaction. Three teams in this division were greatly affected by free agency this summer, even though they all ended up empty handed when it came to their pursuit of any of the prized free agents this July. Two of the teams, though, plotted for two years with hopes of landing LeBron James, only to be spurned as he left for the Miami Heat. Another one of the teams had one of the prized free agents, and his leaving for the Miami Heat left them in freelance as well. Meanwhile, the three-time defending Atlantic Champions lost in the NBA Finals and had to react promptly. The loss of Kendrick Perkins did not help either in the NBA Finals or at the start of this season, and the Celtics looked to add to their list of established veterans for what feels like one last run at a championship. And then there's the Philadelphia 76ers. After years of being an afterthought in the league, one of the league's most prominent cities is taking huge steps towards relevance again. They reached back and hired Doug Collins to return to Philadelphia to help advance this process and it will be interesting to see how those new players mesh.
All in all, the Atlantic Division had a lot of turnover on most of the rosters and could see significantly new change among the production of three of the worst teams from last season in New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia. With all three of those teams now positioning themselves for victory and with Boston continuing to add players primed for one last run, the change could be even more evident in the coming seasons. But even though there's a reaction for every action, the Celtics reacted accordingly to last year's NBA Finals loss to the Lakers, and are still the team to beat in the Atlantic Division.
1) Boston Celtics
Incoming Players: Avery Bradley, Luke Harangody, Semih Urden, Jermaine O'Neal, Shaquille O'Neal, Von Wafer, Delonte West
Outgoing Players: Rasheed Wallace, Tony Allen, Brian Scalabrine, Michael Finley, Shelden Williams
Team Report: The Celtics walk into this season as the clear favorites in the division and are among the favorites for an NBA Championship this season as well. The Celtics were up by 13 points in the 3rd quarter of last season's Game 7 of the NBA Finals before conceding to the Lakers in a heartbreaking defeat. A lot has been made of their age in recent years, but they showed last postseason that they're one of the few teams capable of flipping a switch on and off. Whether they would want to walk that tightrope again this season remains to be seen, but the players on the team don't necessarily give any encouragement of a change of the times coming in Beantown.
Shaquille O'Neal and Jermaine O'Neal are the most high profile additions to the team. The two big men fit right into what the Celtics are looking for: smart, seasoned veterans willing to use what's left of their ability to contribute to the ultimate goal of the team. Both come at an opportune time as well with the injury to Kendrick Perkins. Perkins injured his knee in Game 6 of last year's NBA Finals and should be out until January. His loss will be greatly felt across the board in Boston, but the Celtics will hope it's offset by the continued improvement from point guard Rajon Rondo. While it's hard to argue that at least Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett aren't more important to a championship for the Celtics, it's also hard to argue that Rondo isn't currently the team's most talented player. Overall, the Celtics still enter this season with a chip on their shoulder and with a lot to prove. They also are the most stable of the rest of the teams in the division, and that's why they'll be winning the division title come next April.
2) New York Knicks
Incoming Players: Larry Fields, Andy Rautins, Jerome Jordan, Timofey Mozgov, Kelenna Azubuike, Patrick Ewing, Jr., Raymond Felton, Roger Mason, Jr., Anthony Randolph, Amar'e Stoudemire, Ronny Turiaf, Shawne Williams
Outgoing Players: Earl Barron, David Lee, Chris Duhon, Sergio Rodriguez, J.R. Giddens, Al Harrington, Jonathan Bender, Tracy McGrady, Eddie House
Team Analysis: The Knicks have been bad for years now, it seems. Since 2004, the Knicks have regularly been among the worst teams in the league. A fantastic city and fan base has really been negated by the lack of overall production on the court and the turmoil that occurred off of it. However, after Isaiah Thomas left New York, Donnie Walsh was hired to clean the mess. He hired Mike D'Antoni, rid himself of some of the ridiculous contracts on the team, and built towards the famed 2010 NBA Free Agent class. The Knicks have been telling their fans to accept defeat the last two seasons, a hard sell to New Yorkers, because a great star was on the horizon. After whiffing on LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, the team signed Amar'e Stoudemire to a big max contract this offseason instead. It still may be a hard sell to New Yorkers that he was worthy of being the light at the end of the tunnel.
But the Knicks made other moves this offseason to reshape the roster. They brought in the extremely promising Anthony Randolph over in a trade with Golden State and hope that he can partner up with Stoudemire to create the ideal frontcourt for head coach Mike D'Antoni. But, for the first time since D'Antoni was hired in 2008, the pressure is now on for him to win in New York. After being patient with a struggling team the last two seasons, the Knicks were told they would be much better in 2010. It's fair to say they will be much better, but it's debatable if they're a lock to make the postseason. D'Antoni has h is work cut out for him, as do the rest of the Knicks franchise.
3) Philadelphia 76ers
Incoming Players: Evan Turner, Tony Battie, Craig Brackins, Spencer Hawes, Andres Nocioni, Darius Songaila
Outgoing Players: Samuel Dalembert, Rodney Carney, Willie Green, Jason Smith, Francisco Elson, Allen Iverson
Team Analysis: The Philadelphia 76ers traded Allen Iverson in 2006 and have been largely irrelevant since. Sure they've made the playoffs a couple times since that trade, but they've been no real threats among the NBA's elite and the team really wasn't in Iverson's last years with the team either. So it seems a tad ironic now that the 76ers are building towards and selling hope; again at a time when Iverson is leaving. The 76ers brought Iverson back last season in an attempt to sell tickets and regain relevance, but it went for nothing as Iverson couldn't stay on the court due to injuries and other factors and was a large non factor in the team's horrendous 27-55 season. After only one season, Eddie Jordan was fired and the 76ers again went back to the drawing board.
The Sixers interviewed a lot of candidates and wound up with Doug Collins as the team's new head coach coming into this season. Collins isn't "new" by any means. He's been a coach for three different franchises before and had mild success with all of them. His name is largely important because of his broadcasting gig with TNT moreso than what anyone remembers him doing as a coach. But Collins is a 76er at heart. He was drafted by Philadelphia and made an NBA Finals with the team in 1977. He wants, just as much as the rest of the city, for the 76ers to be relevant. How quickly that happens will largely land on the shoulders of second overall pick Evan Turner. Turner is a "do-it-all" type talent who led the Big 10 in scoring and rebounding last season. The Sixers will look to him to possibly spearhead a new era in Philadelphia. Andre Iguodala remains the man in Philadelphia, but for how long is anyone's guess. How he and Turner mesh this season will go a long way towards determining how quickly Philadelphia can turn around in a shallow Eastern Conference. The 76ers are still a team with a lot of uncertainty, but they'll take that as long as it can generate a lot of excitement.
4) New Jersey Nets
Incoming Players: Derrick Favors, Damion James, Jordan Farmar, Anthony Morrow, Troy Murphy, Travis Outlaw, Johan Petro, Joe Smith
Outgoing Players: Courtney Lee, Yi Jianlian, Chris Douglas-Roberts, Chris Quinn, Josh Boone, Trenton Hassell, Bobby Simmons, Keyon Dooling, Tony Battie, Jarvis Hayes
Team Analysis: The Nets were close to becoming, historically, the worst team in NBA history last season. A late season "surge" by the Nets helped them avoid the NBA's futility mark and allowed the team to finish 12-70 last season. There wasn't a lot to be happy about in Jersey last season, but at least there's hope on the horizon for this upcoming season. The Nets have a new owner now in the hugely interesting and insanely rich Mikhail Prokhorov as their brand new owner, the impending move to Brooklyn (which seems like it's been in the works forever) is finally going to happen by 2012, and they've introduced a new coach to the team in Avery Johnson. Johnson, who won an NBA Championship as a player with the Spurs and went to the NBA Finals as a coach for Dallas, will at least command the attention and respect of the young talent in New Jersey.
Speaking of that new talent, nobody is more promising on the team than the third overall pick in the draft: Georgia Tech PF Derrick Favors. Favors has drawn early comparisons to Dwight Howard in terms of body structure and athletic ability, but is still very raw and will be brought along slowly by the Nets. The team lacked a lot of fortitude last season, and it's no guarantee that they'll develop that toughness just from the presence of their new coach. But they will be better. Troy Murphy, Jordan Farmar, Travis Outlaw and Anthony Morrow all make great additions to the team. Will it be enough to make them a playoff team? Probably not. But after last season's 12 win season, everything is looking up for New Jersey.
5) Toronto Raptors
Incoming Players: Ed Davis, Solomon Alabi, Leandro Barbosa, Linas Kleiza, Julian Wright
Outgoing Players: Chris Bosh, Hedo Turkoglu, Marco Belinelli, Rasho Nesterovic, Patrick O'Bryant, Antoine Wright
Play Analysis: Although the Knicks and Nets cut salary and lost games on purpose to be players this offseason, the Raptors signed and traded for talent to please one player who was going to be on the market: Chris Bosh. Bosh, however, never was going to stay in Toronto and he now resides in South Beach. The Raptors didn't respond as harshly as Cleveland did with LeBron, but they're going to move along with life after Bosh anyways. The talent that the team acquired last season did not gel at all, and with more turnover this season as well, chemistry will still be a huge problem with this Toronto team.
With the selection of Ed Davis in the first round, the Raptors hope to have found Bosh's replacement immediately. Davis is a North Carolina product who is a very solid offensive talent. However, they can't expect him to replace Bosh's production right away. Andrea Bargnani should be primed for a huge break out year for Toronto, but I feel like that's been said for about three straight seasons. But the talent gap between him and the next best player on the team is huge. The Raptors deserve credit for not going into complete firesale mode without Bosh and trying to still compete even though they lost their best player. But the moves they made this offseason won't do much to help the team make the postseason. Coaching, chemistry and defense were the biggest problems last year; they're still problems this season.

The Clarkstown Police Department will conduct an audit of overtime paid to all members of the force, a concern in this highly taxed town that flared after an officer suspected of falsifying his hours resigned.
Police Chief Michael Sullivan made the announcement at a Clarkstown Town Board meeting Tuesday night after public comments that suggested police covered up a possible systemic problem by letting the officer, William Sherwood, resign. The Town Board was to vote on the resignation and on the hiring of eight police officers.

Cubicle Panels
Cubicle panels make installation of cubicles very easy. These are the furniture that makes the concept of cubicle farm possible. Usually made of metallic substances, these add flexibility to the office set up. Workers can change the look and feel of their offices by changing the position of these panels.
Cubicle panels are available in different price ranges. Users may have to pay something between $15 and $250 for these panels. However, it is noteworthy that these panels are very long lasting. If maintained properly, the panels can last a life time. Maintenance of these panels requires protection from dirt and water.
Cubicle panels are readymade channels that are used to fix the cubicle dividers. These are the basic structures that hold the dividers and thus facilitate the creation of modern day offices or cubicle farms. Cubicle panels come in different shapes and sizes. The users may choose from a variety of panels from the market based on the cubicle design they are opting for. User's budget and the space on which it will be installed are other factors that determine the selection of these panels.

I understand why Quinn was traded for a sixth rounder, he has not won and he has showed some weaknesses (really what are the Browns doing though?)
I have been actually trying to make two comparisons, I realize I got there in a convoluted way.
Quinn NOW v. Bradford/Clausen NOW
Quinn THEN (when he was drafted) v. Bradford/Clausen NOW
There are many ways you can look at this, I suppose it would also be necessary to compare Quinn NOW v. Bradford/Clausen in three years, but that like much of the other talk is a guess.
On the first I just don't see that big a gap in talent to warrant five rounds or so difference in the actual compensation.
On the second, I think that Bradford/Clausen are similar prospects to Quinn when he was drafted with a few differences...so in my mind the result might be the same, and we might be in the same position of Cleveland is now (and while I have not given up on Brady, if this is the case its far less of a gamble to give up a fifth or so then the 1st overall pick)
However, I will admit that I'm not too down on Quinn after the whole Cleveland debacle, not high on Clausen, and just plain not sure/skeptical on Bradford.

Construction company offers home to gymnastics gold medalistGWANGJU, Aug. 7 (Yonhap) -- A South Korean construction company on Tuesday promised to offer an apartment to Yang Hak-seon, who overcame grinding poverty and grabbed the men's vault gold medal at the London Olympics, as the nation has been touched by news stories of his family living in a shabby vinyl house.
The 19-year-old Yang made headlines earlier Tuesday by winning South Korea's first-ever Olympic gold medal in artistic gymnastics. His family's economic difficulties also grabbed the media spotlight, as Yang told reporters in London that he wants to buy a house for his parents with cash rewards from the state and sport organizations.
SM Group, a local construction company based in Gwangju, immediately responded to Yang's dream and promised to give his family an apartment in the southwestern city as a gift when construction is completed next year.
"After hearing that Yang's family is leading a difficult life in a vinyl house, the company decided to give an apartment to his family as a present," a senior company official told Yonhap News by phone.
The apartment complex in Gwangju, 329 kilometers south of Seoul, is currently under construction and is expected to open by the end of next year, the company said.

Shabtis (funerary statuettes) have always been popular souvenirs for visitors to Egypt. As early as the 1830s, Egyptians were exploiting this demand by producing fake shabtis.
This statuette was probably passed off as a royal shabti – one found only in the tombs of royalty. Its royal attributes are relatively convincing. They include the crook and flail in crossed hands, the false beard, and the cartouche (royal inscription). What exposes the figure as a forgery is the way in which it was created.
Unlike genuine shabtis, the figure isn't made from stone, wood, metal, or faience (a glazed non-clay ceramic material) but rather from Nile silt. As such, it can break easily. It also lacks detail on the sides and back, indicating that the forger used a one-piece mould – not the two-piece mould used to make genuine shabtis. In addition, the figure displays marks caused by smoothing the surface with a knife.
Other hallmarks of forgeries include incorrect proportions, unintelligible inscriptions, and mismatched attributes, although this particular figure doesn't appear to exhibit such errors.

|Control of microorganisms and reduction of biogenic amines in chicken breast and thigh by irradiation and organic acids.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 17704395 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The effect of irradiation or organic acid treatment of raw chicken breast and thigh meat to control inoculated microorganisms and the production of biogenic amines (BA) was studied. Bacillus cereus, Enterobacter cloacae, and Alcaligenes faecalis were selected and inoculated into raw ground chicken breast and thigh meat at approximately 10(7) cfu/g. The samples were irradiated at 0, 0.5, 1, and 2 kGy or mixed with a 0.2 M solution of acetic, citric, or lactic acid (1 mL for 10 g of meat sample) for 24 h at 4 degrees C. Viable cell counts and BA contents were determined. Irradiation was effective in reducing the inoculated bacteria: 0.5 kGy achieved approximately a 2-log reduction, and no viable cells were detected at a dose of 2 kGy. In contrast, only up to a 1-log reduction was achieved by organic acid treatment except for citric acid, which achieved approximately a 3-log reduction of E. cloacae. Both the irradiation and organic acid treatment of raw chicken breast and thigh reduced the BA content, but the rate of BA reduction differed by inoculated organism and treatment (irradiation or organic acid). Although irradiation was an excellent method for controlling inoculated microorganisms, the content of BA produced was similar to that of the organic acid treatment of raw chicken breast and thigh meat.

The Djokovic Country Club, aka Stoke Park
By Paul Henderson 14 June 12
If you really want to see top-class grass court tennis in quintessentially British surroundings this summer, instead of Henman Hill, or Murray Mound, or whatever that grassy knoll of disappointment is currently called at Wimbledon, you should book seats at the Djokovic Country Club, aka Stoke Park.
Although better known for it's wonderful golf course, luxurious hotel, spa and outstanding restaurant, for five days in June Stoke Park will swap little white balls for slightly larger furry ones as it welcomes some of the world's very best players onto its tennis courts.
This year, the star of the show will be men's tennis world number one Novak Djokovic. The Serbian superstar chose the Boodles tournament as his Wimbledon warm-up event in 2011 and, having won the grand slam championship at SW19, he is hoping to repeat that success this year.
"I enjoy playing at Stoke Park and look forward to preparing the defence of my Wimbledon title at The Boodles," Djokovic said, who this year will be playing against the likes of Janko Tipsarevic, Juan Martin Del Potro, John Isner, Gilles Simon and Nicolas Almagro.
Since the inaugural event in 2002, when it was called the Boodle and Dunthorne Challenge, the tennis tournament at Stoke Park has established itself as one of the top tennis attractions for sport fans who want refined entertainment in beautifully stylish surroundings. With its unique mix of challenge matches and exhibition games, The Boodles is able to create a doubles pairing of competitiveness tennis in a relaxed and informal atmosphere that is hard to beat.
Previous years have seen the likes of Maria Sharapova, Andre Agassi, David Ferrer, Pete Sampras and Boris Becker in attendance, attracted to an event where they are able to play on exceptional grass courts to appreciative spectators in an unforgettable setting.
With only 1,500 places available and every seat no more than eight metres from the action, spectators won't get better access to the world's best tennis players unless you were an umpire. Coupled with award-winning hospitality, The Boodles has established itself not just as a curtain raiser to Wimbledon, but as an essential sporting event in its own right.
The Boodles Challenge, June 19th-23rd. For more information and last minute tickets, tel: 020-7384 4877. Or visit: theboodles.com

Law Offices of
Steven J. Horn
Over 30 Years Experience in Litigation Matters
Businesses are engaged in many different commercial transactions on a day-to-day basis, from the lease or purchase of facilities to the execution of contracts for goods and services. Any number of disputes can arise from these transactions, and it is necessary that you have competent legal counsel to protect your interests.
At the Law Offices of Steven J. Horn our experienced and skilled California commercial law attorneys can provide your business with aggressive representation in and out of the courtroom.
Commercial law is the body of law that relates to business and commerce. It regulates the manufacture and sales of consumer goods, as well as all types of corporate matters and contract issues. While each state has its own unique laws, a nation-wide set of rules has been adopted by all states called the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC).
The Law Offices of Steven J. Horn has the experience to support your business goals through the negotiation or litigation of commercial disputes. We advise and represent businesses in many commercial law areas, such as:
Commercial disputes are often the result of non-compliance with the provisions of a contract, including delays in performance, defective products or services, and late or non-payment. It is therefore essential to retain an experienced commercial litigation attorney who can determine the legal obligations of each party under a contract and whether there has been a breach. For example, in a vendor/supplier contract, the vendor has the obligation to deliver a product that conforms to the buyers expectations (as represented by the vendor) when the contract was executed. If the vendor delivers the wrong product, an incomplete product, or a defective product, the product is considered "non-conforming" then the vendor has breached the contract. In order for the non-breaching party to claim damages, that party must have performed the obligations required of it under the contract, or have a valid legal excuse for non-performance. In a claim for breach of contract, the following three elements must generally be shown:
Under the UCC rules for sales, buyers and sellers have several different options when non-conforming goods are delivered. For example, the buyer may totally reject the delivery, accept it all, or choose to reject only part of it. The UCC rules can become quite complex depending upon the situation and it is therefore essential to retain an experienced commercial law attorney when dealing with commercial transactions.
Commercial disputes can arise from almost any aspect of a business' operations. When disputes occur, they can seriously interfere with the day-to-day functioning of the business and threaten its very existence. It is therefore imperative that your legal counsel be an effective advisor as well as a litigator. The Los Angeles commercial law attorneys at the Law Office of Steven J. Horn can provide you with quality and knowledgeable representation.Steven Horn
We understand that family legal issues involve life altering decision; and, therefore, believe one of the most important steps of the process is making sure you find the right family law attorney to represent you.
Steven Horn is experienced at resolving legal matters involving personal injury, business and commercial disputes and real estate matters through mediation, arbitration or trial.
We invite you to review our website and call us with any questions you may have. We welcome all inquiries and are happy to consult with you regarding your legal needs.

NATCHITOCHES -- Northwestern State got a career night from freshman guard Keisha Lee, with 22 points and nine rebounds, in a 64-55 win over Nicholls State. Lee's effort helped Northwestern State recover from a 15-point deficit Thursday night and the top team in the Southland Conference women's basketball race.
The Lady Demons (6-10 overall, 2-4 in the Southland) ended a four-game skid while stunning the Lady Colonels (11-5, 3-2). NSU trailed 24-9, climbed back within 30-27 at halftime, but didn't take the lead until a three-point play by Lee with 4:14 remaining made it 53-52. The Lady Demons outscored Nicholls 23-6 in the final 8:12 with Lee scoring 11 in the decisive run.
Two statistical keys were the Lady Demons' 42-25 rebounding advantage, and 54.5 percent second-half shooting by Northwestern while holding Nicholls to 31 percent before 1,101 at Prather Coliseum.

The team at Lifehouse Wedding Films is an elite group of cinemaphotographers that work tirelessly at being the best. Their work truly stands out and their creativity is second-to-none. I've recommended Lafe and his video team to many of my wedding clients and will continue to do so. Highly recommended if quality is important to you.
The Best Wedding Videos...
We have worked alongside Lifehouse Wedding Films on events for several years, and are always impressed with his work! Lafe is fun to be around, and goes the extra mile to capture the moment from the perfect angle. He also has a great sense of artistry and timing and most importantly, is able to "bring alive" the spirit, emotions, and feelings of the day. Check out Lafe's work to see for yourself what is special about Lifehouse Wedding Films!
Lafe and I had the pleasure of working together on a great wedding at The Hilton Sandestin Resort in Florida last year and I was VERY impressed with his professionalism and creativity. Photographers and videographers have the same objective, to cover a bride's wedding in the best way we can, which obviously means we both need to get many of the same types of imagery throughout the course of the day. The working relationship between a still photographer and a videographer/film maker can make covering a bride's wedding more challenging (and perhaps a little stressful) or less challenging and actually delightful, depending on several factors. For instance, being considerate of what the other person is shooting or filming so as to not be in their background or interrupting their workflow when shooting a particular still shot (detail), also allowing for and considering the time needed by the other person to capture a particular shot and even working together on lighting, which is often something we take into consideration during first dances. Lafe's demeanor was very calm and professional throughout the entire day and I am very impressed by the work he is creating. I would recommend him to any bride who is looking for a great videographer!
Lifehouse Wedding Films has created beautiful weddings films! It was a pleasure working with Lafe and his staff and we look forward to being able to work with Lifehouse in the future!
Lafe and his team are amazing to work with. Lafe pays attention to the details and like a great videographer should, he blends in with the event and captures the day wonderfully. The end product is visually stunning and full of the raw emotion of the day.
Lifehouse offers some of the most beautifully flowing Wedding films we have ever seen. The staff is very friendly and are certainly passionate about offering the best service possible.
Lifehouse produces high quality videos and always provide their clients with the utmost professionalism. I highly recommend Lifehouse!

Was Larry Allen the Cowboys best player during their last championship run?
Three players will be inducted into the Cowboys Ring of Honor at the half of Sunday's game.
Drew Pearson, Charles Haley and Larry Allen are all deserving. Haley and Allen were key players during the team's championship run of the 1990s.
But of all the great players on those Super Bowl teams, an argument can be made that Allen was the best.
"A unique player, one of the all-time great offensive linemen," head coach Jason Garrett said. "Of all the great players that played during that era, I think a lot of people would say that Larry Allen might be at the top of that list. He's a special, special player.
"He was certainly a talented guy, very powerful, but a very prideful guy. A guy who cared very much about practicing well, each play being meaningful to him, each game being meaningful to him.
"He was tough, he was nasty, he was mean, he showed it every day, and those are the kind of guys you want around your organization. You want to point to those guys as examples of how to do things the right way."

I participate in Photo Art Friday- a monthly meme that features the art side of photography and digital media. Each month we are given an optional theme-this month it was collage. Some of you have seen some of these images before, others have seen them as part of this months Photo Art meme, but I do think this is good, so here it is. Besides its' my blog and I can do what I want!
Extra bonus is that it did not take me hours to put this collage together. The first couple of times I did this, it took hours to put together. I was expecting the same thing this time, but nope! It took me half an hour at most and most of that was sizing them and putting them in an order I liked.
On my feet:
I originally bought the flip flops for me, but found them uncomfortable so Blessing has them. The top photo are her feet in the flip flops. She also was the photo stylist for that shot. :)
The second shot are my feet. Notice that my right foot has something my left does not! A week ago I dropped a large bottle of water on my foot and got this bruise. I still have the bruise and it still hurts every so often between my third and fourth toes, I did not break my toes, but wonder if I broke a small bone or two where my toes join my feet. It did give me something to add to my teaching for this semester on the human body!
Blessing got these from one of her teachers. I thought it was neat that they have designs on them. Plastic eggs sure have changes since I was a kid!
Another two-fer! Many times when I state that I converted a photo to b & w because I was not happy with the color one, people have asked to see both, so I decided to do that here. The colored one is not bad, (yes I know the sky is blown out, but I am not bothered by that here), but I felt that the b & w brings out all the shapes the branches, leaves and small spiral pieces make. As always, your opinion may differ and that is fine too. :)
Little things:
Blessing loves the LPS (Littlest Pet Shop) line of toys. Often the pets will come with accessories. The pink one is a little vanity table and the other side of the lid has metallic plastic for the mirror. Blessing put the decorative stickers on them and then colored them with a silver sharpie. She also drew the swirl on the vanity table. She asked me to take a picture so I arranged them to best show off her handiwork.
I think this is the most writing I have done on an SHS post :).

Waste Management nears end of wastewater federal consent decree
Published: February 28, 2014
Font size: [A] [A] [A]
ST. THOMAS - The V.I. Waste Management Authority is hoping that the next few months will be the final phase of its efforts to end a federal consent decree bound to its wastewater operations since 1984.
The authority's board of directors met with Waste Management officials Thursday at the Red Point facility on St. Thomas to discuss, among other items, the consent decree as well as the authority's struggle to find the means to cover Fiscal Year 2014 landfill closure costs.
Also Thursday, Waste Management Executive Director May Adams Cornwall said she plans to go before the V.I. Public Services Commission in April with a request for a fee schedule regarding disposal of specific types of waste, such as tires, appliances, light bulbs and electronics.
Consent decree
According to Cornwall, the Waste Management Authority is prepared to file a motion in District Court that would release it fully from a consent decree requested by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency initially three decades ago.
The authority has been in and out of court over the years reporting on the status of the territory's wastewater system, particularly the pump stations, which have had numerous failures and caused millions of gallons of raw sewage to be spilled into the ocean.
If the Waste Management Authority's motion is accepted, it would result in the agency's release from the consent decree entirely. Five of its eight sites already are in compliance with the consent decree, Cornwall said.
To file the motion, the Waste Management Authority still needs to obtain the appropriate permits from the V.I. Department of Planning and Natural Resources. The permits should be ready in the next few months, Cornwall said.
Being freed from the consent decree would be "historic" for the Waste Management Authority, she said.
However, the agency would continue to face two additional consent decrees tied to the authority's solid waste operations.
Those consent decrees are not expected to be lifted any time soon, Cornwall said, primarily because of the shortage of funding to take the initiative to remedy the concerns in the consent decrees.
Landfill closures
The remaining consent decrees relate to the closure of the landfill in each district. Both facilities are overflowing, according to Cornwall.
Ultimately, $70 to $80 million will be needed to close the landfills by deadlines set by the Environmental Protection Agency: 2019 on St. Thomas and 2020 on St. Croix.
The closures will necessitate meeting a number of other remedial and intermediate requirements, such as gas collection systems; stormwater run-off systems; and groundwater monitoring before cap-and-cover mechanisms restrict the depositing of new waste and seal the landfills from affecting the land around them.
The Waste Management Authority this year is asking for $3.4 million for Fiscal Year 2014 improvements that are needed to accomplish what the EPA is asking.
Of the sum requested, $1.2 million would go toward bale production - or the compacting of waste - at the landfill; $1.2 million toward bale placement - appropriately stacking the compacted waste; and $800,000 toward engineering services for the closure of the landfills.
"Due to the downward revenue trajectory, the authority's allotment may be reduced to pay for the debt service corresponding to the bond issue of $67 million to close the territory's landfills," Waste Management Chief Financial Officer Deandre Atwell told board members and officials.
Atwell reported that if the government does not provide the full amount requested, the Waste Management Authority would struggle to cover its operations.
Hazardous waste
Additionally, the agency also discussed the fines it eventually hopes to collect from the disposal of specific waste products.
In April, Cornwall plans to submit a proposal to the Public Services Commission for establishing fees for the disposal of hazardous waste.
A third public hearing about the V.I. Waste Management Authority's proposal to add fees for hazardous waste disposal to the cost of goods at the point of importation was sparsely attended Wednesday on St. Thomas.
The fees would help the agency recover the cost of shipping and disposing of fluorescent tubes; electronics; white goods, such as refrigerators, washers and dryers; oil; tires; and vehicles.
These items, which are classified as hazardous waste because of toxic components, often are dumped illegally at the Waste Management Authority's bin sites and cannot be disposed of in the territory's landfills, according to Waste Management officials.
Illegally dumped waste forces the Waste Management Authority to pay permitted haulers to take it off-island and have it disposed of or recycled.

The crash happened around 1:30 p.m. Wednesday on Pretty Ridge Road in Rowan County.
State Police say Gearaldine Stitt lost control of her van in a curve and hit a tree.
Police say she was likely distracted by a GPS at the time.

Google Re-Launches JotSpot as Google Sites
After months of waiting, Google has re-launched the JotSpot wiki service -- acquired sixteen months ago -- as Google Sites. Annoyingly, it's only available for Google Apps accounts, which means I don't have access to it. I could create an Apps account, yes, but I don't have a domain name with which to sign up. I plan to get a domain for this site sometime in the near future (read: in the next year or so), so my own testing will have to wait until then.
There's a lot of talk about how Google doesn't mention the word "wiki" anywhere in the materials promoting Google Sites. JotSpot also did the it's-not-a-wiki thing, meaning nobody can really say what the product is, exactly. Some bloggers just call it a wiki despite Google's (intentional?) omissions, and I agree with that. JotSpot always was a wiki service, from what I heard and read about it, and the rebranding isn't going to change that.
Meanwhile, I can still bask in the knowledge that JotSpot is alive and kicking at Google. Now how did the press (and several bloggers) find out about this last night? I only got the email 100 minutes ago. Hmm... Darn press releases.
For the review that I can't write due to lack of access, check out this very good one by Dennis Howlett at ZDNet (also linked above as "about").
No trackbacks yet.

Scott Sutherland, the Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Do Not Call registry says the state has filed more than 100 enforcement actions since the registry began in 2002. Sutherland says most of the complaints and enforcement actions have been filed against out-of-state businesses.
Telemarketing-friendly businesses like security system installers are rethinking their sales plan, or going out of business. Frank Hanson of AAA Security Systems says he has never used telemarketing, and instead relies on word-of-mouth advertising and door-to-door sales.
Hanson says several security businesses in Bowling Green are going out of business because they relied so heavily on telemarketing.

Williams is expected to move on to the Installations and Logistics at the Pentagon. He has been commander of the base since June 2009 when he relieved Col. C.N. Haliday from the post.
A spokesman for the base has confirmed that Williams' replacement will be Lt. Col. Donald Davis.
According to his bio on the MCLB website, Williams is a graduate of the University of California at Los Angeles, and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps in 1986. In 1987, he attended the Basic School and received an Engineer Officer military occupational specialty.
In 1988, after attending the Marine Corps Basic Engineer Course, he was was assigned to 3rd Combat Engineer Battalion, 3rd Marine Division in Okinawa, Japan. During this period, he served as a platoon and company commander. In 1989, Williams was reassigned as a series officer at Marine Corps Recruiting Depot in San Diego, Calif., in the 1st Recruit Training Battalion, where he also served as Battalion Adjutant and Personnel Officer. He was promoted to captain in 1991.
After a successful tour on the drill field, Williams was assigned to G-4, 2d Marine Aircraft Wing at Cherry Point, N.C., as the engineer officer where he deployed to Dade County, Fla., to support hurricane relief operations as a Marine liaison to Joint Task Force Andrew in 1992. During his tour, he also served as the operations, logistics, and engineer division officer for Marine Wing Support Squadron 274.

From 1997-1998, Williams attended the Naval Command and General Staff College in Newport, R.I. Upon graduation, he attended the Joint Staff College in Norfolk, Va., and subsequently reported to the Engineering Division, U.S. Pacific Command where he was assigned the duties of Engineer Action Officer and deployed to Australia and East Timor as part of International Forces East Timor.

I meant to get to this last week but travel (a/k/a Nasdaq Freeze) got in the way
"After collapsing in 2008-10, net worth is booming again and has now surpassed the 2007 peak. A generous take on this is that the dollar value of wealth has now fully recovered; a more realistic interpretation is that wealth as a share of income has been flat over the last 14 years. During this period, boomers moved out of their 40s and into their 50s. Saving and wealth gains should have been unusually high as they set up for retirement; instead they are running in place."
Two things to note about this: This is national net wealth, not per capita. So it does not reflect population growth, inflation, etc.
Second, it does now show where we would have been had the crisis never occurred. Its 5 years later, and getting back to breakeven is not my favorite metric to show the impact of the crisis . . .

By this point, hundreds of makes and models have been autocrossed, perhaps thousands. The sport has seen everything from Corvettes and Porsches to Neons and Fieros compete and do so successfully. There are even those who maintain that a Corvair is a pretty good autocross car. We, however, are not looking for pretty good; we are looking for the best.
To judge the best, we set forth with some pretty strict criteria. First of all, it has to be fun to drive, otherwise, what is the point? We also considered availability. The 1965 Lotus Elan may be the greatest autocross car off all time, but there are only 3 of them left, and those guys aren't selling. Our third criteria is affordability. Money-no-object autocross builds are great topics of conversation, but are rarely seen on course.
We also considered competitiveness and something we refer to as "progression." Competitiveness is heavily debated within the autocross world, and very difficult to determine absolutely. Weather, surface condition, tire selection, course design and most of all, driver talent, can all have major effects on the perceived competitiveness of a car. Great cars, however seem to transcend this, and that is where progression comes in. A cars progression is the classing path laid out before it as the level of preparation increases. A car with good progression will allow an owner to start out in Stock Category and move gradually up the classing ladder while being competitive along the way.
Finally, it had to be a good car to own. The 1993 RX-7, with twin turbos, great looks and awesome handling, is a great car to drive, but only the most hardened rotary fan would describe the ownership experience as "good." As such, the beloved 7 does not make our list, despite being a great autocross car. There are many cars that fall short on ownership experience. That does not mean they are bad cars, it just means that we call their owners "enthusiast" for a reason.
1. 2002-2004 Chevrolet Corvette Z06: When it arrived, the C5 Z06 redefined fast. At 405 horsepower and a sub 4 second 0-60, it brought a level of performance to Stock Category autocross that was once reserved for cars of much higher preparation levels. But this Corvette was more than a drag car, this Corvette actually turned, and did so very, very well. It dominated Super Stock from the get go, where 10 years later it is still very competitive. It is also a competitive Street Prepared car, a decent Street Modified car and an argument can be made in Prepared Class as well. That is just half of what makes the Z06 great. The other half is that the Z06 is affordable and it is unbelievably kinds to its tires. Chevrolet fitted the C5 with wide wheels and a brilliant suspension that maximizes contact and thus minimizes wear. As a result, C5 owners can expect two to three times the tire life of other owners. That combined with a current value under $25,000 and you have a mountain of bang for your buck.
2. 1990-1997 Mazda Miata: The Miata was built for the driving enthusiast. A throw back to the early British sports cars that defined the early era of the SCCA, the Miata is light, nimble, quick and fun. While all three generations of the MX-5 have proven to be formidable autocross cars, the first Miata was the lightest, smallest and has enjoyed the most success. The 1995 R-Package is the car to have in E-Stock, while more modified versions of the MX-5 are successfully campaigned in every category of Autocross. Overall cost varies as prep levels increase, but you can expect to buy a strong runner for $2500-$5000 and have a Stock Class warrior or a great starting point for your long-term project.
3. 1991-1999 BMW 3 Series: The E36 is the definition of autocross versatility. In its road-going form, it is refined, comfortable and civilized. In full race prep, the 3 Series can melt your face off. What really makes the E36 special is a combination of a narrow body, and effective suspension and gobs of BMW's trademark low-end torque. This combination makes it one of the best cars to have in the Street Touring, Street Prepared, Prepared and Street Modified categories. Don't feel like you have to drop coin for a M edition either, the more affordable 325 and 328 models are generally classed separately from the M3, giving budget minded BMW fans lots of options.
4. 2000-2010 Honda S2000: The S2000 is one of the purest sports cars we've seen in the past 10 years. The high revving, lightweight, two seater was an instant hit with autocrossers. Initial buzz on the S2000 was all about the engine, but the chassis and brakes proved to be excellent as well. Nowadays the Club Race (CR) version is the one to have for B-Stock, but the standard AP1 and AP2 models are still fighting it out in every other category. The biggest fight is in the sports biggest class, Street Touring R where 6 of the top 10 drivers at the Nationals Championship event were driving S2000s. S2000s are plentiful on the used car market, ranging from the low teens to mid 20's for a well prepped, ready to win CR.
5. 2005-2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX: Autocross has had a love-hate relationship with all wheel drive since its inception. In the wet, there is no debate, the rally cars dominate, but in the dry many have found AWD cars to be resistant to direction change. That changed with the Evo IX. A more balanced AWD car than those before, the Evolution has enjoyed success in most categories, most notably Street Prepared where it's success necessitated the creation of a new class. You almost can't talk about the Evo without mentioning its rival, from Subaru. The Impreza based cars are also excellent autocrossers, but results thus far show the Evo has the edge for all wheel domination.
6. 1988-1991 Honda Civic/CRX Si: The EF chassis Civic and CRX Si are the only front wheel drive cars to make the list. It is not because autocrossing can't be fun in other front wheel drive cars, it is because it is the most fun in an EF. The EF is light, small and has a proper double A-arm front suspension, just like a real racecar. The result is a giggle-inducing amount of grip. Stock Class competitiveness has long since faded for these cars, but they have come to rule the Street Touring category, often posting the fastest times in the category. The availability of these cars in good condition and stock trim has gone down in recent years but there always seems to be a few in race prep on the market. Expect to spend $6000-$10,000 depending on level of preparation for a solid Street Touring car.
7. 1983-1987 Swift DB-1: The Swift DB-1 is really just a placeholder on the list for any number of C-Modified cars; we picked it because it is the best looking of the bunch. C-Modified is class for Formula F cars, previously known as Formula Fords, but now carrying the "F" moniker as the Honda Fit engine is eligible for the class. Either way, these cars are affordable, readily available on a number of racing sites and unbelievably fun. Expect to spend about $10,000 on a ready-to-go car, with a trailer and a few spares. The Chassis in C-Modified are very similar, everyone runs the same tire and the two engine choices are identical in performance. They are light enough to be towed behind a small pick up truck or a family car on an open trailer, and fast enough to take top time of the day at almost any autocross. This may not be the best car for your first autocross, but when you are ready to drive a real racecar, this is the best place to start.
8. 2007-2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT: There has been a long line of special packages cars that have shaped the landscape of autocross; one of the more recent is the Shelby GT. The special package cars generally excel in Stock Category, where the stricter rules dictate factory configuration. This has been the case for the GT in F-Stock, where it has dominated since its introduction. The Shelby combines a lighter weight with a great tire option and ample power to make it a very driver friendly and fun autocross car. It may not be the best Mustang to start with for higher prep classes, but there are few cars that walk the line of daily driver and autocross toy as well for under $30,000.
9. Fomula Jr Kart: Few adults ever drive a Junior Kart, but owning one may be the most fun you ever have. Juniors start as young as age 5, with National level competition beginning at 8. These karts are cheap, easy to maintain and can easily be towed behind the family van or your autocross car. Best part is, it makes autocrossing a family activity.
10. Your Car: While it is true, some cars are better for autocross than others, the fact remains, you don't have to wait to own one to get started. Most people start out in the car they happen to own when they discover the sport. For some, that is a Corvette, for others it is a Camry. The important part is that you get out and do it. The more you drive, the better you get at feeling what a car is telling you and the more you will be able to get out of it. Besides, there is something eminently cool about overhearing someone in the paddock say, "hey, did you see the guy in that station wagon? He was getting it done!" and know that guy is you.
Honorable Mention - 2013 Subaru BRZ/ Scion FRS: Truth be told, it is too soon to know what the place in the autocross world will be for the twins, as they are known. But we do know this, the team that made this project happen had exactly this kind of use in mind when they designed the car, and it has drivers fired up about a new car. The last cars to gain this kind of attention are all on this list. Time will tell, but the twins have our attention.

MIAMI (AP) - The Heat signed former All-Star center Jamaal
Magloire on Tuesday, four days after agreeing to basic terms with
the nine-year veteran.
The 6-foot-11, 265-pound Magloire has averaged 8.6 points and
7.2 rebounds in his career. He spent his first five seasons with
the Charlotte and New Orleans Hornets, and has now been with five
teams since the start of the 2005-06 season - Milwaukee, Portland,
New Jersey, Dallas and now Miami.
"He will dramatically support our post position," Heat
president Pat Riley said. "He is an excellent rebounder with a big
body. On the defensive end he will plug up the paint and the
offensive end he can score. We feel that this is definitely the
right place for him to re-energize his career."
The Heat sought another big man this summer, in part because
veteran Alonzo Mourning - who suffered a serious knee and leg
injury last December - is not expected back before the regular
season begins. Mourning has said several times he will cancel plans
to retire if his body allows him to continue playing this coming
Magloire averaged 1.8 points in 31 games last season with New
Jersey and Dallas. His best season with 2003-04, when he averaged
13.6 points and 10.3 rebounds for New Orleans and earned his lone
All-Star selection.

a blog about music, visual arts, entertainment and everything in between
by tamara hilmes, intern
In Ferrisburgh last week, about 100 residents attended a zoning board meeting to question a proposal that would build a large gasoline/diesel service station that would also include a restaurant and convenience store. The crucial issues here are the scale of the project and the "undue and adverse" aesthetic effect the project would have on the community.

Summer squash gets a bad rap. Winter squash are better off — pumpkins, butternut and acorn squash all have their places on fall and winter dinner menus. Zucchini and yellow squash, on the other hand, are a harder sell. Some people hate it, but few have strong feelings in the other direction. I can't recall ever hearing anyone profess an undying affection for the zucchini.

NORTH LAS VEGAS, Nev. (AP) - More than 100 firefighters battled a raging fire at a recycling plant in North Las Vegas for nearly two hours before they extinguished the blaze that sent up a black, plume of smoke visible for miles.
Crews were met with a 50-foot-high wall of flames fueled by winds gusting up to 30 mph when they arrived at the Republic Services plant shortly before 6 p.m. Monday.
The facility was evacuated but no one was hurt.
North Las Vegas fire officials say the fire ripped through bundles of cardboard and plastic in the storage yard then spread to the main building on Gowan Road near Commerce Street. Investigators have determined it was an accidental mechanical fire.
The smoke could be seen from as far away as Henderson.

Job Corps is also an important economic engine. Nationally, the average Job Corps center supports 228 local jobs. For every dollar invested in the program, almost $2 is returned to the local economy. In addition, Job Corps students and staff also spend thousands of volunteer hours on community service, including infrastructure projects and helping our neighbors in times of distress.
Local employers that partner with Job Corps receive significant benefits: employer tax incentives; low-cost labor through internships; the freedom from costs of expensive staffing agencies; the ability to help develop customized training; and the chance to teach students how to adapt to specific workplace expectations.
A high-performing Job Corps center like ours is also attractive to employers looking for a new community to call home, because it signals that potential employees have had additional opportunities to develop their skills and working maturity. They know Job Corps is a quality education and career-development program that trains industry-certified employees ready to get to work on day one.
I am most proud of the students who have left our center and continue to thrive in the working world. One student recently commented to a group of community leaders, "Job Corps not only saved my life, but it also saved my future." It makes me realize the important work we are doing and must continue to do.
Students will continue to be successful at Glenmont Job Corps because of its unique public-private partnership. A key to this relationship is the ongoing support of business leaders and government officials, including our congressional and senatorial delegation as well as the support from state, county and local officials. Thank you for this much-needed vote of confidence for our program.
Glenmont Job Corps Academy looks forward to continuing our relationships building with elected officials, community leaders and businesses. We welcome new partners to our Center to hear more about the wonderful work we are doing with youth and to become more involved. We want to ensure that in 2012 and beyond, "Job Corps Works."
