|Ainge: Tony Allen leaving 'not a financial decision'
|07.14.10 at 10:10 pm ET
WALTHAM — Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge had plenty to talk about on Wednesday as he introduced center Jermaine O'Neal to the Boston media, but perhaps the most the most interesting topic touched on was swingman Tony Allen's defection to the Memphis Grizzlies for a three-year deal worth a reported $9.7 million.
In discussing the situation with reporters, Ainge indicated that the Celtics had hoped to bring Allen, one of their three 2004 first-round draft choices, back. He said that money was not a driving factor in Allen's decision to leave.
"Things did work out for Tony, we had a good six years with Tony," Ainge said when asked what didn't work out in negotiations. "We wanted Tony back and we tried to get him. It wasn't a financial decision, there were other decisions, so I think that's a question you'll have to ask Tony."
In his six seasons with the Celtics, Allen averaged 7.2 points, 1.3 assists and 2.6 rebounds in 18.4 minutes and was a plus defender, often guarding the opposing team's biggest offensive threat.
Asked to evaluate the offseason, Ainge likened making any comment now to saying how a game went while just at halftime. The C's are looking to add five more players to give them a 14-man squad, but much of time in the near future will consist of waiting to see which players are still available after the big contracts are done being handed out. He also said he does not expect Rasheed Wallace to change his mind regarding retirement.
Ainge said that the Celtics still have needs at multiple positions, noting they are looking for help at center/power forward, backup point guard, as well as wings. He did say that he likes "unproven rookies" Semih Erden (a Turkish center) and Avery Bradley (the team's first-round draft choice, a point guard), and that the team is in negotiations with Nate Robinson to hopefully continue to back up Rajon Rondo. Asked about Robinson, Ainge said he is a "guy we're talking with, along with a slew of other free agents as well."
Josh Howard was a name brought up in the session and Ainge did not deny the team's interest, saying he would "rather not get into the people who we are pursuing" and that "there's a long list of them, but he's on that list."
The 29th overall pick by the Mavericks in the 2003 draft, Howard has averaged 16.3 points, 1.7 assists, 6.0 rebounds in seven seasons. The small forward had spent his entire career in Dallas before being traded to the Wizards in February. He played in only four games for Washington before tearing his ACL, an injury he is still recovering from.
|O'Neal says he was part of Heat's plan
|at 4:59 pm ET
WALTHAM — In meeting with the media on Wednesday, new Celtics center Jermaine O'Neal spoke about his former team, the Miami Heat, saying that he was aware that the plan was to reel in star free agents LeBron James and Chris Bosh while also retaining Dwyane Wade. The Heat also wanted O'Neal back to team with the trio, but he instead took a two-year deal with the Celtics.
"I knew what the were trying to do, and I could have re-signed back with those guys, but it comes down to fit," O'Neal said. "It comes down to personalities and style of play, and Boston has all that for me. It was the most important choice that I've made in my career.
"It was the first time I actually had the opportunity to even be a free agent in about 14 years, so it was very difficult, but I just felt like over the next two years I needed to be somewhere where the focus is strictly about winning now, not worrying about chemistry, not worrying about anything, just about coming in and helping the team win and doing my part of being involved in something good."
As for having to worry about matching up against the Heat, O'Neal doesn't seem overly concerned regarding who the top team in the Eastern Conference is.
"I don't really look at it as an individual matchup," O'Neal said. "Obviously they have a great tandem down there, but I feel like this team has the best team. '¦ I had a great time down in Miami, I had an opportunity to re-sign back with them, but I just thought that this is where I'm meant to be."
O'Neal said that he liked the Celtics' powerhouse over the potential one Miami would eventually form based on the way Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo have proven their ability to work together.
"Those guys, they have a ring already, but they want another one," O'Neal said. "I don't have a ring and I want one, so I felt like their hunger and their focus is at a different level. There were some other good teams out there that i really looked at that i thought could compete for the championship, but threes guys just came off an NBA finals appearance and obviously they've won one, so they know what it takes to get there."
Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge applauded the Heat for the job they've done, saying that though they still might make some more moves, the big pieces they've put in place already are substantial.
"It's pretty impressive," Ainge said. "They've put a terrific team together, but it doesn't even matter what they do. Obviously [additional moves] could make a little bit of a difference, but the three guys that they've put together down there with Mike Miller and Udonis Haslem, that's a pretty solid team."
Asked about the chemistry element that O'Neal previously referred to and how it might apply to the Heat, Ainge said: "Wining does amazing things to team chemistry."
|Report: Williams leaves Celtics for Nuggets
|at 11:50 am ET
According to a report from ESPN's John Hollinger, forward Shelden Williams has agreed to sign with the Nuggets. Williams was a reserve for the Celtics in 2009-10 who showed flashes in the early part of the season but was not a contributor by the time the playoffs rolled around. The report indicates that the Nuggets also have re-signed veteran guard Anthony Carter.
|Reports: Barbosa traded to Toronto, off Celtics' radar
|07.12.10 at 9:18 am ET
The Celtics will have to look elsewhere as they try to reload their bench for another run at the NBA finals next seasons after multiple reports have Suns guard Leandro Barbosa being traded to the Raptors as part of a three-player deal that would send swingman Hedo Turkoglu to Phoenix. Barbosa had been rumored as a potential trade target for the C's this offseason, but that appears to be off the table now. Barbosa averaged 9.5 points as a backup last season and could have replaced the recently departed Tony Allen as the first guard off the Boston bench. Instead, the Celtics will now need to lure in other trade partners to fill that role, using the not-yet-retired Rasheed Wallace's contract as bait.
|Janning receives training camp invite
|07.10.10 at 8:46 pm ET
LAS VEGAS — After a brief but impressive stint with the Celtics at Orlando Summer League, Matt Janning has received an invite to be part of their training camp roster this fall, he told WEEI.com.
'They've invited me,' he said. 'I've got to sit down and kind of think about what's the best opportunity for me.'
Janning, a guard, averaged 11.5 points and shot 9-for-18 in just two games for the Celtics. Although Danny Ainge asked him to stay with the team for the duration of the week, Janning had to leave Orlando early to fulfill a previous commitment with the Suns at the Las Vegas Summer League.
Even though he will consider all of his options this summer, the chance to play for the Celtics is special to the Northeastern alum.
'A lot of my friends are like, 'You're playing with the Celtics, that's awesome.' And it really is,' he said. 'I've been in Boston the last four years, a little more than that now, watched games down at the Garden, and I've seen those guys play, so it's real nice knowing that I'm close to getting a chance to be part of all that."
|Allen: 'There's no other place I wanted to be'
|07.07.10 at 11:21 pm ET
Ray Allen reached a two-year agreement with the Celtics and is looking forward to continuing his career in Boston.
"I'm happy to be returning as a Celtic," he told WEEI.com via text message. "There's no other place I wanted to be."
According to a source familiar with the negotiations, WEEI.com confirmed the deal is worth $10 million annually. The second year is a player option.
Allen, who turns 35 this month, made it clear following the NBA finals that he would like to return to Boston — 'I'll deal with that when the time comes, but it's obvious that I don't want to be anywhere else,' he said after Game 7. He garnered attention from around the league, however, once he hit the free agent market. According to one report, LeBron James contacted Allen about joining him, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade on a "Dream Team."
Allen's return to the Celtics keeps the "Big Three" intact. Paul Pierce agreed to a four-year deal last week and Kevin Garnett has two years left on his contract.
Allen averaged just over 16 points during last season and the playoffs. He set an NBA finals record by hitting eight 3-pointers against the Lakers. Allen will be entering his 15th season in the league and doesn't expect to slow down any time soon.
'I believe I'm so far ahead of the game that I'm able to play longer," he told WEEI.com during the regular season. "People look at basic standards of guys my age at 34, like some guys at 34, there's no way they could play basketball right now. And I'm thinking at my age now, I can go even a few more years doing what I'm doing the way I'm doing it because for me, it's not rocket science."
|Source: Allen agrees to return to Boston
|at 9:54 pm ET
WEEI.com has confirmed Ray Allen will return to the Celtics after agreeing to a two-year deal worth $10 million annually, with a player option for the second year. ESPN.com's Marc Stein first reported the deal on Twitter.
Allen, who turns 35 this month, averaged just over 16 points last season and in the playoffs. He garnered attention from around the league when he hit the free agent market this summer, and was reportedly contacted by LeBron James about playing for a "Dream Team" with him, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade.
Allen had attested during the NBA finals, however, that he would like to return to the Celtics. His agreement keeps the Big Three intact for another shot at a title after Paul Pierce agreed to a new four-year deal last week.

Islamic Sharia Law (English Translation)
Douglas Chick
Hadith is the collection of the Prophet Muhammad's statements and actions coupled with the statements and actions of his companions. Hadith is believed to have been collected beginning 150 years after Muhammad's death in 632 C.E. and it is the basis of jurisprudence for Islamic law, or Sharia law. To begin to understand Islam, one must understand what parts make up hadith, how hadith is classified, and how hadith is legitimized to mold Sharia.

Reports: Knicks want Lowry again, Raps have taken him off table
Welcome back to Days of Our Kyle Lowry.
On this week's episode...
OK, so when last we left you, the Knicks had shut down talks for Lowry before the Raptors went on a tear because they didn't want to give up a draft pick and were tired of being made fun of by us the media. Then the Raptors got hot and Lowry has played at an All-Star caliber pace, and it seems crazy to trade him because they could actually maybe win a first-round series. (They aim high in Toronto.)
But with the trade deadline a week away and the Knicks not exactly having righted the ship, we're back to those conversations.
The Knicks are in fact interested in Toronto's Kyle Lowry. Classic Knicks. Could have had him two months ago, backed out now want him again.— Frank Isola (@FisolaNYDN) February 11, 2014
Oh, OK, so they are willing to trade Lowry. Wait, no. From Yahoo Sports:
Toronto has shown significant reluctance to part with Kyle Lowry, preferring to make a playoff run with him, league sources tell Yahoo.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) February 12, 2014
Adds an executive with a team that's been a suitor of Kyle Lowry, "We've heard it from (Toronto) that he won't be moved."— Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) February 12, 2014
So basically, the Knicks want Lowry now, but the Raptors don't want to move him.
I'm still not in on not moving a soon-to-be free agent when you can get something in return for him, but the team is so happy with winning, and the media's all fired up and the fans are having fun believing that there's not a lot of harm in it. This Raptors team isn't really tied to their future at all, but that doesn't mean they can't have some fun for a few more months.
The Knicks, however, are having a harder time having fun.

Skip to comments.Obama fails, the media covers for him
Posted on 09/13/2012 12:32:57 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
An American ambassador and three aides murdered in Libya, the U.S. Embassy in Cairo attacked and the incompetent man in the White House has no idea, no instinct, no guiding principle whatsoever to dictate how to react.
President Obama delayed his campaign schedule slightly to address the matter hey, he cant be viewed as aloof or uncaring when American blood has been shed.
This incompetent response to attacks on Americas should be a political bloodbath for President Obama. But its not. His Democrat allies and eager co-conspirators in the media took care of everything.
Itd be sad if it were not completely predictable.
President Obama waited hours to issue a statement on the murders in Libya. Even then, he condemned them only about as strongly as he condemned the unknown person who produced the poor quality video accused of inciting the violence.
And he never mentioned the near-riots at our embassy in Cairo.
Who did speak up and offer leadership? Mitt Romney.
He reacted how youd hope an American leader would. He took a hard line against those who murdered our diplomats and invaded U.S. sovereignty in Egypt. He defended American principles and free speech. And he rightly criticized the Obama administrations multiple attempts to appease violent radicals.
It was no accident people in these tinderboxes of anti-Americanism saw this video. Their governments wanted them to see it or else they wouldve blocked it. They wanted people to react. And they wanted to see what the President would do. Now they know: not much.
They know because thats precisely what the President did. He issued a wet noodle statement and jumped on Air Force One to campaign. Imagine if President Bush had done this. We know precisely what wouldve happened: media frenzy.
Then, when President Obama realized he was being out-presidented by Mitt lack foreign-policy experience Romney, he took action. He sat down with CBS News and said Romney seems to have a tendency to shoot first and aim later. This is the President who had to hold a beer summit after accusing a police officer of acting stupidly without knowing any facts. Moreover, Romney was right. He said what Americans want to hear their leaders say at times such as this.
The presidents handlers know this, otherwise, they wouldnt have had him participate in the hastily scheduled CBS interview.
But they neednt have panicked. The presidents guard/lap dogs in the media had already circled the wagons to protect him.
The Presidents friends in the media made no mention that he released a statement attacking Romney for issuing a statement on the attacks a full 8 hours before the President made one on the attack itself.
The media couldnt pursue that meme.
It was so busy bashing Romney, it couldnt say the obvious: that the Obama administrations response was weak. while Romney's was strong. No, they had to go with How dare Romney be critical of the President at a time like this? Media types channeled Romney to discern whether his advisors wish they had that statement back. They took to Twitter to point out Romney had rushed to politicized the matter before the facts were known.
Coincidence? Could it be all these media outlets came to the conclusion this was a gaffe on Romneys part on their own? No. It was teamwork again.
Before Romneys statement, an open mic caught journalists coordinating questions to make sure he answered for his not being a Democrat. They didnt say that, but they might as well have. Romneys real error, if there was one, was taking questions from the media. He should learn from the President.
Its hard to imagine a more vivid example of an adoring media covering for its incompetent President. They question Romneys timing, yet had no problem when the 2008 Democratic nominee used the deaths of nine US troops to attack his opponent.
No media spin, no distraction, no lie can change how our President disgraced himself and his office in the last 48 hours. As unrest and threats to embassies spread, we can expect more of this feckless behavior. With Obamas weak response, childish attacks and rush to return to campaigning as if nothing had happened, its easy to see how radicals sized him up as weak. And why the media felt the need to protect him.
Both are sad, neither are surprising.
What's new?
Imagine if the President was a Republican
Marines guarding the Libyan Embassy were not allowed to carry LOADED guns.
Pictures of Ambassador being "Carried to hospital by our allies" (Hillary Clinton) were taken as he was being taken to be gang raped.
President calls Egypt: "Not an ally".
As I've said these guys ARE COMPETENT at destabilizing the world.
And the press is VERY GOOD at covering up these disasters.
Time to clear out the "Occupy White House" crowd !
Problems in the Middle East are not as important as implementing marxist agenda.
Quote: "Obama fails, the media covers for him."
No, Obama fails and the media tries but fails to cover for him. As a matter of fact, what has become more of a story than the story is the media's behavior.
"Just two months before former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto was killed in a terror attack, Bhutto submitted a written request to Ambassador Patterson, asking Patterson for help carrying out an evaluation of the security because she feared for her life, say WikiLeaks cables. The cables also reveal that Patterson and the GEORGE W. BUSH administration chose to ignore the request, suggesting instead Bhutto work constructively with General Pervez Musharraf's government — the same organization that she insisted was out to kill her.
Bhutto had made the request to the US Ambassador immediately after a terror strike killed more than 130 people at a rally organized by the Pakistan Peoples Party on October 18, 2007 in Karachi. The rally was organized to welcome her back to Pakistan after her eight years' exile. According to the Wikileaks cables, Bhutto told Ambassador Patterson that she did not believe that the Pakistan Government was providing the security she needed and she was in danger."
"Whats new?"
What's new is that this was PRINTED in THE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS! That is what's really new!
Good find - so Patterson has already "made her bones" in the Hillary Mob. So disarming Marines is just business as usual for this bloody bitch.
When it hits the old gray nag and the compost, he'll be through.
No, Obama fails and the media tries but fails to cover for him. As a matter of fact, what has become more of a story than the story is the medias behavior.
Exactly, and the job of our clearer-thinking media outlets is to emphasize this point over and over. Importantly, Romney must take a page from Newt's play book and address the MSM for what they are: full-time employees of the Obama campaign.
"It was so busy bashing Romney, it couldnt say the obvious: that the Obama administrations response was weak. while Romney's was strong."
That's why the lamestream media have their panties in a twist. Their Emperor Obama has no clothes.
Every time Obama steps in it the media licks his boots clean.
Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
what has become more of a story than the story is the medias behavior.
I think you're right. The media has made as much a mess of this crisis as Obama and it's no secret. MSM is simply not relevant any longer, certainly not taken seriously.
As someone relished saying about Dick Nixon once, "It's always the cover-up that gets you."
So why don't they just lend him some of their silk ones?
My first thought as well.

Washington — Republican unity showed signs of fraying Monday as the Senate swatted aside the latest tea party-driven demand to delay the nation's health care overhaul in exchange for averting a partial government shutdown at midnight.
Even in advance of the 54-46 party-line Senate vote, the stock market dropped as fears spread that the first shutdown in 17 years would inconvenience millions and harm the economy. "We're at the brink," said Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., as House GOP leaders calculated their next move.
Ironically, the issue at the core of the dispute, implementation of key parts of "Obamacare," will begin Tuesday on schedule, shutdown or no.
As lawmakers squabbled, President Barack Obama urged them instead to "act responsibly and do what's right for the American people."
At the White House, he said he was willing to discuss long-term budget issues with members of Congress, and expected to do so soon. But, he added, "The only way to do that is for everybody to sit down in good faith without threatening to harm women and veterans and children with a government shutdown."
Obama's Democratic allies prevailed easily in the Senate on a vote to reject the latest House-passed bill, a measure that would delay the new health care law for a year and repeal a tax on medical devices that helps play for the program.
Anticipating their legislation would be rejected, House Republican leaders met in Speaker John Boehner's office to plan their next move. Officials said that even though time was running short, they expected at least one more attempt to squeeze a concession from the White House, likely a demand to force a one-year delay in the requirement for individuals to purchase health coverage or face financial penalties.
A shutdown would cause an uneven impact across the face of government, inconveniencing millions.
Many low-to-moderate-income borrowers and first-time homebuyers seeking government-backed mortgages could face delays. Passport applications would be delayed.
About 800,000 federal workers, many already reeling from the effect of automatic budget cuts, would be ordered to report to work Tuesday for about four hours — but only to carry out shutdown-related chores such as changing office voicemail messages and completing time cards. Once they departed, they would be under orders not to do any government work.
Some critical services such as patrolling the borders, inspecting meat and controlling air traffic would continue. Social Security benefits would be sent, and the Medicare and Medicaid health care programs for the elderly and poor would continue to pay doctors and hospitals.
For the first time since the showdown began more than a week ago, there was public dissent from the Republican strategy that has been carried out at the insistence of tea party-aligned lawmakers working in tandem with GOP Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas.
Rep. Charles Dent, R-Pa., said he was willing to vote for stand-alone legislation that would keep the government running and contained no health care-related provisions. "I would be supportive of it, and I believe the votes are there in the House to pass it at that point," he said.
Dent added he has been urging the Republican leadership to allow a vote along those lines.
A second Republican, Rep. Doug Lamborn of Colorado, said, "We haven't given up on Obamacare ... but for this week we may have to give up. We tried everything and Harry Reid won't budge," he said of the Senate majority leader.
In response, a spokesman for Boehner said the leadership would discuss options with the rank and file at a closed-door meeting later in the day.
On Sunday, Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said she, too, was ready to vote to keep the government open without conditions.
In remarks Monday on the House floor, Boehner criticized the Senate for taking the day off on Sunday, after the House had passed legislation shortly before 1 a.m. "Well my goodness, if there's such an emergency, where are they?" he said.
Other Republicans sought to blame Democrats for any shutdown, but Dent conceded that Republicans would bear the blame, whether or not they deserved it.
The last time the government shutdown, in 1996, Republicans suffered significant political damage, and then-President Bill Clinton's political fortunes were revived in the process.
Now, as then, Republicans control the House, and senior lawmakers insist even a shutdown isn't likely to threaten their majority in the 2014 elections. "We may even gain seats," Oregon Rep. Greg Walden, who chairs the party campaign committee, said recently.
For all the controversy about other matters, the legislation in question is a spending bill — and there was little if any disagreement about the spending-related issues.
The House and Senate have agreed to fix spending for a wide swath of federal programs at an annual level of $986 billion.
Without separate legislation to make further reductions, across-the-board cuts would automatically take effect early next year that would reduce the level to $967 billion.
Associated Press writers Alan Fram, Andrew Taylor, Laurie Kellman, Pauline Jelinek and Donna Cassata in Washington and Marc Levy in Harrisburg, Pa., contributed to this report.

Mary Franson introduces bill blocking employers from asking for social media passwords
Franson is the unlikely impetus behind a piece of common-sense legislation.
Mary Franson has caused us to shake our heads a couple times already this month -- first when she compared food stamp recipients to wild animals, then again when she outed herself as a careless driver to "scoop" the Strib's Jon Tevlin.
But today, instead of shaking our heads at her, we're nodding along with her.
According to Minnesota politics blog Bluestem Prairie, Rep. Franson, R-Alexandria, has introduced a bill prohibiting employers from asking employees for social media passwords as a condition of employment. All of the bill's other House co-authors are Democrats.
Franson's bill is a response to a slew of media reports detailing how employers are more and more often asking prospective employees for their Facebook and Twitter passwords as conditions of employment.
Employers are increasingly curious about your social media social life.
Robert Collins of the Baltimore area has said that he was looking to be reinstated to his job as a correctional officer in 2010 when he was asked for his Facebook password.
"I did not want to do it, but because I really needed my job and he implied that this was a condition of recertification, I reluctantly gave him the password," Collins said in February in testimony before the Maryland House of Representatives, which is considering ACLU-backed legislation to block such practices.
"He then proceeded to log in to my account using my private credentials. I asked him, 'Why are you logging on?' He said, 'I am looking through your messages, on your wall and in your photos to make sure you are not a gang member or have any gang affiliation.'"
An Associated Press report this week highlighted Justin Bassett, a New York statistician who said that, during a job interview, the interviewer pulled up his Facebook page and asked for his password. He said he refused.
The ACLU said it's found an increasing number of companies with such policies on Facebook. They say it's more common with public agencies, such as law enforcement.
Asking someone for their password is actually a violation of Facebook's terms of service, but a company spokesperson recently said Facebook has no plans to take legal action to stop the practice.
Franson's bill would nip the privacy-violating password-sharing trend in the bud here in Minnesota. And, as strange as it is to say this about a bill introduced by a Republican who believes the poor just need to lace up their boots a little tighter to lift themselves out of poverty, that's legislation we can get behind.

House Baratheon Kindle Case by taeliacWatch
©2012-2016 taeliac
❝ Ours is the Fury ❞
. . . . . House Baratheon
This is a leather case to hold a Kindle (Kindle Fire, Kindle Touch, and Kindle Keyboard) with the stag of House Baratheon on the cover. It is stained with an antique dye in the colors of the House. The Words of the House are next to the crowned stag, "Ours is the Fury."
It is made from 4-5 oz leather, and the inside is lined with flannel to keep the Kindle clean and safe from scratches. It is also sewn together - I finally figured out how to set my industrial sewing machine so that I could use leather thread (thicker, waxed thread) and sew through something this sick - I swear, that was the best investment I've ever made!
If you like them, you can find them (along with a whole ton of other leather bits) on my Etsy shop : TaeliacStudio.Etsy.com

Most people are quite skilled. Many employees come from corporate acquisitions. Salary was quite good.
Technologies used on projects can be outdated. Expectation of management in US (Irving, TX) is to work nights and weekends to deliver your tasks.
If mid-career, look elsewhere. For new college hires, you can use IBM for two or three years to learn from senior people, but should move on to bigger and brighter futures.

Trace Adkins, Danica Patrick to Host American Country Awards
It's a surprising, yet very intriguing combination. Country crooner Trace Adkins and NASCAR driver Danica Patrick are teaming up to host the fourth annual American Country Awards on Fox.
It's a surprising, yet very intriguing combination. Country crooner Trace Adkins and NASCAR driver Danica Patrick are teaming up to host the fourth annual American Country Awards on Fox.
There isn't any snow in sight, but that's not stopping Trace Adkins from getting into the holiday spirit. The big singer (literally) has announced double-whammy of Christmas goodies, including an album and a holiday tour.
Every light in the house was on Platinum-selling singer Trace Adkins on Friday (Aug. 23) as he celebrated his 10th anniversary as a member of the Grand Ole Opry.
America celebrated its 237th birthday on Thursday, July 4. To keep the party and celebration going, Trace Adkins recorded a live rendition of the new song 'Take It From Me' at his St. Louis show on the Fourth. The rough and tumble country superstar decided to generously share it with fans and to offer it as a free download after the fact.
On a break from filming an upcoming movie called 'Mom's Night Out,' Trace Adkins admitted that he's working on improving his acting chops just in case his voice ever goes out. But acting doesn't come quite as easily to him as singing does just yet. Adkins says he does his best work on the set when he's acting like he can act.
Day 2 of the Taste of Country Music Festival drew to a close with a major bang. Thousands of country music fans piled onto Hunter Mountain on Friday (June 14) to witness the greatness that is Trace Adkins -- and he didn't disappoint.
Day 2 of the Taste of Country Music Festival brought some sunshine and a few of the rowdiest bands in country music out to play. Beginning with newcomer Rachel Farley -- who more than held her own -- the six acts to take the stage in Hunter, N.Y. shook the valley of the venue located in the Catskills Mountains on Friday (June 14).
Trace Adkins seems like he's on a hot streak, but to hear him tell the tale, he feels like his career could be over at any time. In a candid new interview, the country star and recent 'Celebrity Apprentice' winner expresses doubts about getting radio airplay for his new album, 'Love Will.'
We didn't think that Trace Adkins' bones were breakable.
Trace Adkins is looking forward to the release of his new album, which features the greatest emotion of all time, appropriately entitled, 'Love Will...' The record also displays the level of top-notch music that a love of collaborating can produce, with a few very exciting artists to be featured alongside Adkins.
Trace Adkins is will surprise everyone with his newest studio album, 'Love Will,' which is set to be released this spring. While it has a seemingly love-driven title, it may not be full of romantic, sappy songs, as the title suggests.
One thing's for sure: Trace Adkins is a strong example of what tough people do -- not only in his music, but also in life. The four-time Grammy-nominated artist has seen great success as well as devastating loss -- especially the 2011 loss of his house in an electrical fire while the singer was traveling to Alaska. Since then, he has realized the necessity of making every moment count, and that includes being bluntly honest when needed.

UPDATE for academic year 2015-16: The VP for Finance has instructed the Office of Sustainability to put on hold the recruitment of a new CEF Committee, as the Fund will not be soliciting new projects while it undergoes a formal review and a report is prepared. Previously approved projects will continue to be supported, including the Energy Action Seminar. The Clean Energy Fund will undergo this formal, multi-step review in the 2015-2016 academic year with the intent to strategically align the goals of the University's Climate Action Plan with the activities and criteria for selecting projects through the Clean Energy Fund. Stay tuned in Spring 2016 for a public forum on the Clean Energy Fund's history and future.
Interested? Have a comment? Want to be on a mailing list? Please contact the Office of Sustainability through the "Contact Us" page.
A major goal of the Clean Energy Fund is to foster student, staff, and faculty cooperation and involvement. Committee members meet once a month over the academic year and serve two-year staggered terms to allow year-to-year continuity within the committee.
Clean Energy Fund committee responsibilities:
- Review proposals and recommend project ideas to the Vice President for Finance
- Ensure student involvement in the design, installation, and review process
- Encourage development of cost-benefit analyses for proposed projects
- Encourage writing of grant proposals to provide supplemental funding for projects
- Make recommendations for sustainable design on other relevant new university developments
- The student chairperson will work with the Fund Administrator to schedule and announce meetings, set meeting agendas, and distribute minutes.

One day, my mother was playing basketball with me and my brother. When it came to sports she had phenomenal luck. Her oldest son Andrew lost the ball and it went into the other side of the court. Looking to make fun of her, her youngest, Justin, yelled to her from the other side of the court saying, "I dare you to shoot it from there!"
Accepting the challenge, my mother threw the ball up as high as she could with all her strength. The ball sailed through the air and it looked like a prayer would have to be said for it to go in the basket. After the ball being in air for a few seconds, I followed it with my eyes, and it went directly in the basket. The net barely moved. It was one of the luckiest and funny shots I have ever seen. I think this is a relevant anecdote because this describes my mother to me. There's more to her than meets the eye.
My mother, Cynthia Jenkins-Smith, grew up in a small town in California called Mead Valley. She grew up with a sister named Andrea, and a father, Andrew, and mother, Elsie. Her neighbor was her grandmother which was my great grandmother. Family was important to her mother and father, so they believed in living close to each other so no one would be out of reach.
Having a close knit family like this help define my mother as a strong woman and a loving mother. These qualities that she owned would be beneficial to anyone to possess. This reason and many more, is why my mother is the subject of this narrative, and the reason she is so significant to me.
I remember when I was diagnosed with diabetes when I was twelve. It was one of the worst days in my life. I thought I would be able to do anything normal anymore or eat like a normal kid anymore. During my stay in the hospital, my mom was with me everyday. She was telling me that there are worse diseases in the world that I could have contracted, and I should be happy it wasn't anything worse. At the time, I didn't quite understand because I...

To ascertain whether bone mineral density loss during the first year of treatment for early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) as assessed by dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is associated with long-term function, quality of life, and radiographic progression.
Early RA patients, prior to commencing disease-modifying antirheumatic drug therapy, underwent evaluation with DXA scans of both hands, femoral neck, and lumbar spine at the time of diagnosis, then at 1 year and final followup at >6 years. Clinical and laboratory data and hands and feet radiographs were obtained at baseline and final followup.
Sixty-four patients were assessed. At baseline, median disease duration was 6 months, mean 28-joint Disease Activity Score was 5.85, and median Health Assessment Questionnaire score was 1.38. Median followup was 6.4 years (range 5.1–7.2 years). For erosion scores, 86% of patients with hand bone density loss above the smallest detectable change after 1 year progressed versus 55% of those with no hand bone density loss (P = 0.006). However, baseline radiographs showed a similar strength of association. Eighty-four percent of patients with erosions at baseline had erosion progression versus 57% of those with no baseline erosions (P = 0.021). Additionally, first-year bone density loss was not associated with function and quality of life status at followup.
Hand bone loss during the first year of treatment in early RA, as assessed with DXA, was associated with a high likelihood of radiographic progression; however, in the current study this was not superior to baseline radiographs. Furthermore, it was not associated with patient-reported outcomes.

"Language is the most intimately physical of all the artistic means."
Aim for what C.S. Lewis called "quiddity" instead of Comfort Inns.
Four suggestions for how to escape the brave new world.

Manu Chao
Singer and political activist Manu Chao is best-known as the founder the group Mano Negra. In the early 1990's, the Franco-Spanish band gained a wide audience in Europe and a cult following here in the United States, by writing songs about poverty and oppression and setting them to folk melodies and a punk rock beat. Manu Chao just released his first solo album, "Clandestino: Esperando La Ultima Ola". NPR's Rolando Arrieta reports.

Excellent glare reducer
By Stu
from Mississippi
About Me Career, Practical, Stylish
Comments about
Maui Jim
So far so good. They are excellent in bright sun and, for me, greatly reduce glare and enhance the contrast. The frames say made in Italy. I though this was a Maui operation, but the frames are nice.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I have bought several pair of Maui Jim sunglasses over the years! They have always outlasted any other brands I've tried (I usually lose them before they get any scratches in the lenses ... ). Can't beat the quality for the price. I have a small frame face and this model fits me perfectly. Love them for driving, tennis and the beach!
Bought this pair as a backup

I ordered these after I had lost my "good" sunglasses during a flight. Maui Jim's had been on my wish list, and after I saw the discounts offered at this site, I couldn't resist. Now I will not use any other brand, as these are far superior to the other "good" brands I have used in the past.

We recently told you about a study that found essentially all vitamin supplements did nothing to benefit your health and that you shouldn't take any of them.
Well…maybe SOME of them!
Smithsonian.com took a second look at the research and determined there ARE some supplements that are worth taking:
Vitamin D Scientists aren't sure exactly why, but people who take vitamin D live longer. It's also supposed to help prevent the flu and bone breaks and it can't hurt you, so there's no harm if you take it.
Probiotics Apparently, there are TRILLIONS of GOOD bacterial cells living inside your gut, and if you do a round of antibiotics they can get wiped out. Taking probiotics can restore the balance and might help you with any digestive issues.
Zinc You may have heard that vitamin C can prevent colds. That's not true, but scientists figured out that ZINC can. Zinc also lessons cold symptoms and helps you recover faster.
Niacin Over-the-counter niacin is supposed to reduce strokes and heart attacks for people with heart disease.
Garlic It gives you bad breath, but if you've got high blood pressure, studies show that garlic helps lower it. It's also supposed to prevent cancer, but the jury's still out on that one.
Now you know!

The title of the post isn't ideal. Not sure what to call this.
This is the curse of social networking websites. I've managed to use facebook to get back in touch with old high school friends whom I haven't seen in at least 10 years. The first three weeks saw me getting three or four friendship requests every day. The trouble is that FB can also be used by friends whom you hoped to leave behind years ago. Perhaps I should explain.
The people of whom I speak used to be two of my closest friends. He and I were college fraternity brothers in the same pledge class. He could be a little annoying when he had too much to drink and had a bit of a temper. But otherwise, he could be great fun and seemed a loyal friend. She was in a couple of classes with me. They got together at a mixer we had with her sorority. Didn't take long before they were seriously dating and then they moved in together in an apartment not too far from the campus. I look back at that time fondly. I was always welcome at their place. I remember whiling away many an afternoon in their living room and crashing on their couch or living room floor after late parties. This was just a fun time, and it makes more recent events that much more difficult to bear.
They asked me to be in their wedding sometime around 1997. It's not fair to blame their marriage, but I date the bad stuff that started to around that time period. The way I understand it, there were money and job problems pretty early on and they were forced to move into her parent's house for a time. I can see that being a difficult time for sure. I know he started some kind of anger management program that turned him into a wicked smart aleck and she started treatments for depression.
After a period of time, they got back on their feet and got a place of their own. That's when she showed me her pill case. I've never seen such an assortment. She was taking one pill for this, another for the side effects of the first pill, another for the side effects of both pills together, etc. She spoke very slowly, took awhile to get the punchline of jokes, and her hands and head shook and trembled almost like someone with Parkinson's. By this time, I'd met the woman who became my wife, so we spent some time with them. She believed all the stories I told about how they used to be.
Well, our wedding came along, and I asked him if he'd be one of groomsmen. He accepted, and she invited herself to be one of the bridesmaids. My wife paid for her shoes and half the price of her dress, and she still complained incessantly about how expensive everything was. Just seemed odd to us.
They started having New Year's Eve parties once they got back out on their own, and initially they were pretty big fun affairs. Lots of people we knew, and some new faces as well. Problem is that they'd have loud fusses in front of everyone. So, over a few years, attendance dwindled until one year around 2003 it was just the four of us. That was a surreal and very uncomfortable evening as I recall. We stayed awhile and managed to beg off for an early departure. I told my wife that I didn't want for us to ever be in that position again, and that I felt like we didn't have anything in common with them anymore. She agreed, and I thought that was the end of it.
Well, like I said, FB seems to bring some folks back together. I accepted her friendship offer against my better judgement, then found out my wife chatted her quite frequently. Tonight, she said that my frat brother said he wanted us all to get together. I told her no way... I'm a little sick right now, so I have an excuse for this week. But that will only be good for a short time. I'm going to have to handle this somehow.
I feel like we have even less in common with them now than we did at that last party. For cryin' outloud, they have a daughter now, which is a scary thought.
Maybe I'm being unreasonable, but I feel like I just want to let this one go. Enjoy the pleasant memories and see the others as a cautionary tale of sorts.
Any ideas?

I'm an adult who recently had surgery, so lots of trauma to my system. I can't get rid of the "chills." No fever, only goose bumps. I'm indoors, have not been exposed to illness, nor am I sick. I've tried hot tea, soup, hot showers. Just can't warm up. Please help with suggestions.READ MORE
This question has not been answered by one of our experts yet.
Hi Rosie0330,
I know you asked this a long time ago, and I wonder if you have a diagnosis and treatment you would like to share?
We are not doctors here, but there are several things that can cause chills without a fever, including a bladder infection, anemia, hypothyroidism and hypoglycemia, a spider bite, or it could be a side effect of a medication. Your doctor is the only one who can diagnose one of those, so get it checked out if you can, particularly since you're recovering from surgery.
I do hope you are well!
Give Your Medicine Chest a Check-UpREAD MORE
Since you recently had surgery, I think the chills will go away after some time. I get chills, too, but from my anxiety.READ MORE

Alex Rodriguez had a busy weekend. The New York Yankees' third-baseman drove in the winning run against his old team on Friday night. He was greeted with boos and derisively tossed dollar bills at Safeco Field throughout the series.

He kisses his own reflection in photo shoots for "Details" magazine.

I have had her since she was 6 weeks. She has had 2 litters since I've had her, so I do have kitten experience too. I can bathe and brush dogs, and can brush cats. I can feed them, play with them, walk dogs, etc. I have had a dwarf hamster in the past and am able to care for them, have had experience with gerbil's and hamsters too!

Major League Baseball
California Crass, Texas Class
In a disappointing, undignified statement as he heads out of office, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger couldn't resist making a "nah-nah" political point while congratulating the San Francisco Giants on their World Series championship:
The San Francisco Giants defeated the Texas Rangers tonight, just like California voters are going to defeat the attempts of dirty Texas oil companies to undo our clean energy laws at the polls tomorrow.
Throughout the season and post-season, the Giants have shown remarkable determination and excellence. They have made this state proud and shown the world what we are capable of. I join all Californians in congratulating the entire Giants organization, coaching staff, players and fans on this much-deserved win.

great style
J'aime beaucoup tout ce qui est dessin ,plume ou " gravure", moins tout ce qui ressort du design contemporain. Je ne suis pas convaincue que l'austérité de mon "olivier" soit vraiment assortie à votre " galleri 2".Pourquoi l'avoir choisie? Où travaillez-vous? Avez-vous essayé de dessiner les forteresses cathares?
This is my favourite of your fingerprint ink pieces. Don't know why. It just speaks to me on a 'deeper' level. I love the light shining through the arches and it's almost as if the gentleman you have drawn has either stopped to admire it himself or is considering to go through into the darkness. But yeah, love it.
interesting style!.... first time i saw this kind of art...i like it very much!
You can almost hear the slow jazz music playing in the background. Why is this not in my favorites yet?!
This I particularly like but all your fingerprint pictures are unique and outstanding.
This is very cool. The swirls add a whole new dimension. Nice work.
I think I like this one best, I like arcades and this gives a sense of mystery!
So hard to pick a favourite, but there is something about this one that I really love!
Your drawings are lovely, I can imagine the meditative hours spent making these. Wonderful! (thank you for the fav!)
a soul on a journey.
How many hours are spent in a drawing like this? nice technique.
Beautifully done!
I like this one a lot! I like the lone figure defined by the swirling, moving, atmosphere that is part of the structure. Even though the structure is heavy, and solid, the swirling line work makes it unsubstantial causing the "world" the figure is in to be slightly chaotic and full of change. It's a political, social/economic, drawing of how tenuous our place in the world is. Very Nice!
This drawing is amazing. The angled strokes give it a whole other dimension. Excellent work.
Wow these works of your are very stylish! Love the technique, it's very alive! Beautiful shadows and light, I love how you make the details pop with your shading style.
cool ^^
Oh... this is gorgeous
This style... reminds me into impressionism, a bit, but can you tell me what's the name?
really, I newer saw nothing like this, excellent work!
