More memorable was her powerful starring turn in Bill Bennett's "Kiss or Kill" (1997) opposite fellow "Love and Other Catastrophes" co-star Matt Day. The two played con artist lovers on the run after their routine scheme turned sour, accidentally killing their intended robbery victim and ending up with a sordid videotape that incriminates a sports celebrity. O'Connor shone in the well-made character driven thriller, capably handling the emotionally demanding role of a calculating and cool but anxiety-ridden young woman who is scarred by her mother's brutal murder, which she witnessed as a young child. The following year, she was featured in Peter Duncan's odd "A Little Bit of Soul", playing ... Continue Bio >>

Oh, schon ein neues Bild fertig? Das ging aber schnell! Ich finde toll, dass das Kleid vom Jongleur aussieht, wie ein Zirkuszelt und dass die Bälle und die Bäume gleich sind. Super super klasse!
Amazing Joy....I love all your work!
Oops Judith...my fingers are ahead of my brain!
@Angela: Ja, ich weiss auch nicht, warum dieses Bild so schnell fertig wurde. Manchmal "flutscht" es einfach so, und manchmal mach ich ewig an was rum. Es freut mich aber total, dass Dir das Bild gefällt. Ist ein bisschen anders, als das, was ich sonst mache.
Love the delicate designs on the balls, the sense of motion and expectation....
@Skye: Thanks ever so much for this wonderful comment! (don't worry about the typo! I've done that before myself ;-)
@Catherine: Always enjoy your comments, Catherine. This time I worked with paper, since I wanted to do something a bit different. I used to do a lot more collages.
amazing work Judith!
Thanks so much for these great comments, Ben, Muxxi, and Angelo! Really means a lot!

Always nice to be here, Judith! :)
Beautiful work, Judith! This has a very festive feel to it. :)

Although it wasn't intentional, I love that you think the picture has a festive feel to it (must be the red balls ;-) The sense of balance also wasn't intentional.

Video: Getting out alive - Part 2
Tampa, Florida - On August 24 2010, Lisa Sanchez was driving along a rain slicked I-275 when she lost control of her SUV.
She skidded and her truck hydroplaned into the black water of a retention pond off I-275.
Sanchez says, "I heard a swooshing sound, water came to the top of truck and I thought, 'I'm going to die, I am under the water.'"
People accidentally driving into water and getting trapped in their car -- it is a scenario that happens too often. Especially in the Bay area.
April 2010: A 93-year old man died after driving into a pond.
May 2010: A Bay area woman died after her car ended up in a pond.
August 2010: An elderly couple drove off a Dunedin Marina wall by accident. Some alert rescuers smashed out their window and saved them.
October 2010: A 60-year-old man loses control of his vehicle and crashed through a fence and ends up submerged in a pond.
Oftentimes, this scene ends in death because people panic in this situation.
Lisa Sanchez says, "I couldn't get my seatbelt off, I couldn't see anything, all I was thinking about was my family and my kids."
But you have to learn how to control yourself, because you can get out before it's too late.
So how do you survive the incident?
Under the watchful eye of Tampa police divers and Tampa fire paramedics, we prepared to submerge a car in Tampa Bay with Reggie in it.
Photo Gallery: Getting out alive
After a safety check, the car was propped onto the flat of a tow truck rigged for release.
Inside were two underwater cameras and a backup air tank in case of emergency.
When the car finally submerged, the pressure of the windows was about 14,000 pounds per square inch. That's when Reggie used the center punch of the corner of the window. The center punch is the only device you can use to break the window. It's one device that can get you and your family out alive.
It is also a good idea to keep something handy to cut your seatbelt.
We got our center punch from Houdini Tool.

Cena vs Rollins at Summerslam
Of all the Summerslam spoilers floating around right now, the most likely one could involve John Cena and Seth Rollins. The two of them are each putting their belts on the line. Since, WWE does not want either of them to lose their roles as champion, there is more than likely going to be a dirty finish in the match. Cena has been teasing a record breaking title win, but very few believe him.

Re: Countdown To Christmas (07)
This entire series has been a blast. I drove from San Francisco to Placerville and back this weekend (5 hours car time total). A pop radio station committed to playing nothing but Christmas music until the 25th had dug up some amazingly insipid stuff. I wish they'd hired you.
I don't agree about sex, though. Some bad sex can be pretty bad. Bad pizza? Sure. I often call it breakfast.

Here's some perl code that may or may not be useful for someone. It's a script to connect to a ZCS instance, get the number of accounts on that system, randomly select a 99% confidence sample with a 4% margin of error, then output the growth by month of those accounts.
You will need to put a file called "auth.yaml" in the script directory, the format is in the script:
Output looks something like:Code:zimbra_ldap: ldaphost: LDAP-HOSTNAME-HERE imaphost: IMAP-HOSTNAME-HERE binddn: uid=zimbra,cn=admins,cn=zimbra bindpass: SOMETHING authuser: SOMEONE authpass: SOMETHING

To modify the date range, you'll need to edit the script at line 84 and change "( year => 2008, month => 5 )" to whatever you need.
I like to redirect the output from the script to a .csv file. You can then perform whatever analysis you want

BROAD CREEK � A Carteret County man killed Friday evening in a shootout with deputies was apparently troubled by his marital situation and told officers he no longer wanted to live prior to initiating the gunfire.
Michael Neal Peters, 54, of Broad Creek died at the scene of the shooting.
Peters and deputies exchanged gunfire after Peters stepped out of his apartment armed with three handguns and firing rounds at special response team deputies positioned outside. He was firing with a gun in each hand and had a third on his person.
�He fired on our deputies and they returned fire,� Carteret County Sheriff Asa Buck said in an interview at the scene.
The shooting incident occurred at 3106 Highway 24 outside the apartments adjacent to the former Caf� 24.
In a news release issued early Saturday, the Carteret County Sheriff�s Office said deputies responded to the location to investigate a domestic situation involving the communication of death threats by Peters.
According to the preliminary investigation, Peters was upset about his current marital and living situation. He told deputies by phone that he did not want to live, the release said.
Peters was in his vehicle in the parking lot as deputies arrived. When he observed them, he fled inside his apartment.
Deputies learned Peters was armed and a sheriff�s office negotiator made contact with him in an attempt to get him to come out. The sheriff�s office also called in the special response team.
The negotiator communicated with Peters on and off for nearly an hour.
A short time after 5 p.m., Peters exited his residence armed and firing, initiating the exchange of gunfire with law enforcement officers.
The State Bureau of Investigation was called in to investigate, which is standard procedure in all officer-involved shootings.
District Attorney Scott Thomas was also on scene Friday night and met with agents. He said that he will review the SBI�s final report to determine if the shooting was justified.
The names of the officers involved have not been released but the sheriff�s office said they are on administrative leave, which is also standard protocol.
Contact Daily News reporter Jannette Pippin at 910-382-2557 or email@example.com.
Updated at 6:28 a.m. June 1
The suspect killed in a Friday evening shooting in Carteret County has been identified as Michael Neal Peters, 54, of 3106 Highway 24, Apt. 6, Broad Creek, according to the Carteret County Sheriff�s Office.
Deputies responded to the location in response to a domestic situation involving the communication of death threats by Peters.
According to the preliminary investigation, Peters was upset about his current marital and living situation. He told deputies by phone that he did not want to live, the news release said.
Page 2 of 2 - Peters exited his apartment armed and firing at deputies. Gunfire was exchanged and Peters died at the scene.
The names of the officers involved have not been released and the case remains under investigation.
Updated at 8:37 p.m.
An officer-involved shooting is being investigated in Carteret County.
A suspect was fatally shot late Friday afternoon after deputies returned fire.
�He fired on our deputies and they returned fire,� said Carteret County Sheriff Asa Buck.
Buck said the sheriff's office received a call about 4:30 p.m. about a suspect communicating threats intending to harm another person.
Deputies responded to apartments adjacent to the former Cafe 24 in Broad Creek.
Buck said the suspect went back into his apartment when deputies arrived.
Believing the suspect had intended to harm someone, the sheriff's office called in its hostage negotiator to talk to him in an attempt to get him out. The Sheriff's Office also called in its special response team.
The suspect came out onto the front porch armed with three handguns.
Buck said he had one gun in each hand and another on his person. The suspect fired at deputies multiple times. At that time deputies returned fire.
No deputies were injured.
The State Bureau of Investigation is now on the scene and is investigating the incident, as is standard procedure for shootings involving law enforcement officers.
District Attorney Scott Thomas was also on the scene.
Thomas said when SBI completes its investigation they will submit a final report to him and he will determine if the shooting was justified.
A fatal shooting is being investigated in Carteret County.
The Carteret County Sheriff Office�s special response team was called Friday evening to an incident in the Broad Creek area in the vicinity of the former Highway 23 Caf�, said chief Deputy Ken Raper.
There was an apparent standoff with law enforcement.
Raper confirmed that a subject was fatally shot. He said the State Bureau of Investigation has been called in.

UPS expects to have the busiest holiday delivery season ever. There are programs and information you need to know to avoid package theft.
300 packages per second.
That's how many packages UPS will deliver during this year's holiday shopping peak. This will be the busiest holiday delivery season in the company's history.
When you consider all the online shopping we do now, it's not all that surprising.
But door-step delivery can also be a crime of opportunity for the bad guys. There are ways to prevent holiday package theft.
High Point Police Captain Mike Kirk said, "We will remind the patrol officers that during the holiday season, we do see an increase in potential burglaries and people trying to pick up packages so just be extra careful to watch houses."
News 2 talked with several of the Triad's local police departments on Tuesday. While, their patrol teams are paying extra attention to residential areas, they're more concentrated on holiday crime around businesses. There are ways to protect yourself:
FedEx sent News 2 this information:
Before you ship, choose the right service for your needs:
- Ship the package to a location where you know someone will be available to receive it. For example, ship to your work address, or to a trusted neighbor or a loved one.
- Send any FedEx package directly to a FedEx Office location (FedEx Office is the former Kinko's). If using FedEx Express, you can also have it held for pickup at one of our stations. Customers can look up FedEx Office and FedEx Express station locations on our website at: www.fedex.com under Ship then Find FedEx Locations.
- Choose one of the premium services offered by FedEx Ground. If using FedEx Ground Home Delivery, go online to request evening delivery, date-certain delivery or even make an appointment for a specific delivery time. Check the Service Guide on the FedEx website for more information.
- Consider selecting the "signature required" option. This means FedEx will only leave your package if someone there to sign for it.
After the package is on its way:
- Even after a package is en route, you can redirect it to a nearby FedEx location for pickup. Just go to fedex.com and enter the tracking number or call 1-800-GO-FEDEX to request this option. It's available with Express, Ground and Home Delivery shipments.
UPS sent News 2 this information:
- A great service for the holidays is UPS My Choice
- It can help consumers decide when and how their packages are delivered.
- When consumers sign up they will receive an email or text message the day before their packages are delivered.
- If that time doesn't work or they won't be home - they can reschedule the delivery for another day or they can reroute the package to work, or to a relative who is home to receive the delivery.

I recently installed Zimbra and must say it's a great product; however, the missing feature I've noticed so far which prevents me from deploying it is the lack of being able to use multiple mailboxes simultaneously from within the Zimbra web client.
For example, in Exchange/Outlook you have the ability to have multiple mailboxes including the Inbox and Calendars loaded into the Folder List pane (assuming you have the necessary access to that account). I'm sure this works with Zimbra as well presuming youre using Outlook but I'd prefer to dump Outlook in favor of the web client entirely.
So, my questions:
1) Are there any plans to view other account mailboxes and/or calendars from the Folders pane in Zimbra?
2) Are there any plans to allow a From: field in the new message window which would allow you to send mail from any of the mailboxes listed in your Folders list?
3) Are there any plans that would allow you to view another user's calendar to see where they might be? We use this extensively to figure out where an employee is.
4) If any of these items are being considered, are the mailbox access and appearance within the Folders pane controllable by the administrator, user, or both?

Off the Cuff Remarkable
New statement cufflinks give men the chance to wear their art on their sleeves
YOU CAN'T EXACTLY GAUGE the economic climate by looking at a man's shirt, but you certainly can get a hint. "In a recession, the men play it very safe. They go for white and blue double-cuff shirts with classing cufflinks," says Robert Emmett, the founder of shirtmaker Emmett London, whose clientele ranges from City bankers to "X Factor" presenter Dermot O'Leary. "When they feel better, they move into color."
For the fuller picture, check out his cuffs. If he's glass half-empty, he might be wearing real gold-nugget cufflinks. Understated, they also might come in handy if fiat money ever collapses. Or, as a cautionary reminder, he might opt for the hand-painted rock-crystal and gold "Road to Ruin" links from Deakin & Francis, which picture a pack of cards, a bottle of Champagne, a horse and the shapely legs of a female dancer (£3,800).
In the limited fashion of the corporate world, cufflinks are the ultimate mood gaugers—and prime real estate for sartorial self-expression. While the 1980s and early '90s were dominated by power pieces from luxury brands such as Boucheron, today's looks are more individualistic.
'We have made exact replicas of someone's car, boat and even a packet of McDonald's french fries.'
"Oil traders buy our silver oil barrels or silver nodding donkeys," says Henry Deakin of Deakin & Francis, a seventh-generation British firm that makes almost any cufflink imaginable—and quite a few that aren't, with prices ranging from £150 to more than £16,000.
"In the City, the demand currently is for Art Deco cufflinks," says Mr. Deakin. "We're selling a lot of our enamel, yellow gold and mother of pearl or opal pairs and, increasingly, bespoke items. We have made exact replicas of someone's car, boat and even a packet of McDonald's french fries."
Those seeking creative self-expression in a pair of cufflinks have plenty of choice. And mixing and matching isn't against the rules—good news for those who find themselves too often relying on St. Anthony.
For nature lovers, there's Roger Doyle's brightly colored silver and enamel "Beetle" (£200). Or if you're more of a dog person, the U.K. jeweler offers a Warhol-esque "Spotty Dog" (£200).

Art lovers can try the limited-edition cufflinks from the Louisa Guinness Gallery in London, which collaborates with artists on unique pieces. "Our most popular at the moment are by the artist Peter Blake," for £6,000, Ms. Guinness says. "They're actually little paintings mounted inside a watch face. They come with a box so they can be displayed as works of art when not worn." Other pieces include skulls and crossbones by Tim Noble and Sue Webster and simple gold cufflinks by Anish Kapoor.
Then there's his and hers. Laurence Coste, a London-based jeweler with a shop on Walton Street, recently sold one couple matching brass and gold-plated earrings (£275) and cufflinks (£295), based on her Ginko Biloba tree design. "It's the oldest tree in the world that will survive even an atomic bomb," she says. Now there's a conversation starter.

Camden Crawl preview: Glasvegas talk about their upcoming slot at the May bank holiday weekend festival
11:46 26 April 2012
James Perou
Glasgow rockers will back The Cribs during live music carnival set to accommodate 25,000 fans
»From humble beginnings, the Camden Crawl has come a long way since it began in 1995.
What began as a sprinkling of performances from a handful of acts across five venues has evolved into a carnival of live music spanning three days and accommodating up to 25,000 music fans.
Past line-ups over the May bank holiday weekend have featured Amy Winehouse, Plan B and Kasabian.
This year's festival includes around 300 different artists and events, with headline performances from Death In Vegas and The Cribs.
Warming up the crowd at KOKO, Camden High Street, in a rare support slot ahead of The Cribs' festival-closing performance on May 6 are Scottish indie band Glasvegas.
The Glaswegian four-piece, whose 2008 debut album reached number two in the UK Album Charts and garnered a Mercury Music Prize nomination, will be appearing at the festival for the first time.
Guitarist Rab Allan said: "I remember around the time of the first album, I really wanted to do the festival. Everyone knows about Camden Crawl, it will be exciting.
"We don't do a lot of support gigs and I like them because it takes the pressure off."
Glasvegas approach their Camden Crawl debut off the back of a four-date tour of Sweden in late March followed by a handful of UK shows.
Crowds at Koko next week will be treated to brand new material from their forthcoming third album.
"We are hoping it comes out before the end of year," said Allan. "We've got about 15 demos and we feel quite good about all the songs.
"Everything we've been recording has been played live and it's completely different to what we've done before. We are trying to get a bit more of a live feel – we'll probably record the whole thing live."
The 29-year-old, who helped form the band with cousin and lead singer James Allan in 2003, admitted their success still sometimes "seems like a dream," adding: "I guess we're all very lucky that we are still friends and we still want to make music together."
Speaking of the "bad times" that have accompanied Glasvegas' triumphs, he explained: "It's the cliches you always hear – people not talking to each other, people indulging in too much alcohol and stuff.
"You forget the people in a band are also your best friends. We used to party hard and we've calmed."
Besides the top quality live music on offer next weekend, the festival also boasts comedy acts, performing arts shows and interactive workshops across more than 35 venues.
Camden Crawl co-founder Lisa Paulon, 44, said: "We appeal to a wide demographic, it's not really targeted at one individual. There's a lot of alternative artists - it really represents UK culture in general."
Camden Crawl takes place between May 4 and 6. For more information and to buy tickets, visit www.thecamdencrawl.com.

Pros: NEW EGG IS ONE OF THE BEST ONLINE SELLERS I RECEIVED SHIPMENT OF THE GAME ON RELEASE DAY.
Cons: The story is neither suspenseful nor climatic like the previous versions of the game. Instead, you go from area to area unlocking doors and solving mindless puzzles.
Other Thoughts: Overall, I probably should have just rented the game instead of buying it.

This review is from: Dead Space 3 Xbox 360 Game
Pros: This game felt more like the original dead space to me than the second installment in the trilogy. People tend to harp on the co-op or the ice planet. The co-op is optional and the ice planet is not what you expect. You play through several chapters before you get to the planet and once you get there you aren't outside often. Most of your time on the planet is spent indoors or in caves. When you are outside Necromorphs pop out of the snow at random so you are always on edge. Also the Necromorphs look way more intimidating than ever. Dead Space 3 has a lot to offer all you have to do is let the game show it to you. Yes there is more action, but it isn't so much so that it hinders the game. The story is told in a good simple way. The first five minutes of the game answered a ton of questions I had. My final verdict is to play the game without listening to all the negativity about it. Most of the negatives people bring up are blown out of proportion. So, if your a fan of dead space, Dead Space 3 will be at the level of greatness you would expect.
Cons: I feel that people are not giving the game a chance. I couldn't find anything wrong with the game. I'm the type of person that plays the games that get the worst reviews just so i know what a true bad game feels like. Dead Space 3 is amazing.
Other Thoughts: This is a good game don't pass it up. Play it and use your own mind to decide if its good or not.

Cross-cutting, Technical, Policy and Learning Support to Country Projects - Global
To promote and facilitate technical, policy and learning support on cross-cutting issues related to governance of natural resources such as rights, governance and gender.
Background and activities
This component of the project coordinates and provides a resource base for the international sub-projects.
In planning stages of the project, the IUCN-Social Policy Unit (based at IUCN - Headquarters, Switzerland) worked with partner organisations such as the International Council for Human Rights Policy (ICHRP) and the Centre for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) to organise various events at the 2008 World Conservation Congress in Barcelona. This included preparation of inputs, holding discussions, advocating for policy changes and coordinating dissemination of results, lessons learnt and communication materials.
The IUCN-Social Policy Unit now works to ensure that partner organisations are integrated within the regional projects and enables open communication to share lessons learnt, clear aims and targets, and important resources between the various sub-projects. In addition, the Unit works with all relevant partners and regional offices to prepare and adapt technical tools and policy and technical guidelines on key issues such as the application of rights-based approaches, good governance principles, gender equity and cultural rights.
The Social Policy Unit team also works with other major conservation organisations to enable them to integrate similar frameworks based on rights and governance approaches to promote these concepts in the field of international conservation.
As a result of dissemination of lessons learnt and the adaptation and delivery of technical and policy tools, it is expected that country-level projects and other local to international actors will have greater capacity to effectively and equitably address governance, equity, gender and cultural rights issues.
National and international policy frameworks related to protected area governance, equitable benefit sharing and sustainable livelihoods will be strengthened thanks to policy guidance from IUCN and its partners.
Through its interaction with other major conservation organizations, IUCN will help ensure the integration of governance tools and rights-based approaches across global conservation agendas.
This crucial component of the project will be led by the Project Coordinator and the Senior Adviser on Social Policy, based at IUCN-Headquarters.
ICHRP and CIFOR, which facilitated the World Conservation Congress activities, remain potential resourceful partners for the remainder of the project. The Commission on Environmental, Economic and Social Policy (CEESP) , which has a Theme on Governance, Equity and Rights provides key consultancy needed for the success of the project.
In addition, IUCN and seven of its member conservation organisations have created the Conservation Initiative on Human Rights (CIHR) to improve the practice of conservation by promoting integration of human rights in conservation policy and practice. This will provide a useful platform for discussions, debates, information/resource/experience sharing on human rights in relation to conservation and help develop integrated approaches to improving natural resource governance.

A grass-roots movement in East Rockaway
(Page 2 of 2)
Social networking, mainly on Facebook, helped a lot, said Daitz, but she realized that many people were still in the dark and had no Internet or phones — so she and her boyfriend, Fred Faust, printed and distributed 1,000 fliers door to door to residents of Bay Park, letting them know what was going on and where they could get food, water, blankets and supplies.
"Chief Torborg and Diane LauKaitis were right there the whole time," Daitz said. "They asked what I needed … they're the heroes."
The hundreds of volunteers who manned what turned out to be many tables at the firehouse put together packets of blankets, cleaning supplies and other necessities and delivered them to homes in East Rockaway and Bay Park. "Some people had lost their cars in the storm,," Daitz said, "so they couldn't even get to the firehouse."
After meeting with Recreation Director Rick Kappel and the Rev. Mark Lukens of Bethany Congregational Church on Main Street, she eventually moved the entire operation to the church's gymnasium. The Church of the Nazarene and the United Church of Rockville Centre also opened their doors. "We're all doing what we can to help," said Lukens.
Daitz said that Leon Williams, the owner of Five-Star Sports and Entertainment Academy on Ryder Place in East Rockaway, offered the use of his establishment to area children at no charge so they could get some exercise and their parents could charge their cell phones and laptops.
"One of the nicest things I saw was Sen. Dean Skelos getting out of his car by the post office with a bag of supplies, clothes I think it was," Daitz said. "He was dressed in jeans and a sweatshirt … he didn't have a photographer or an entourage with him. He came with his brother and sister, and they just handed things out to those who needed it. It was nice to see."
Daitz said she is most proud that this was a true community effort. "So many people came to help," she said. "Firefighters' families, former residents and high school graduates who don't even live here anymore … I wish I had made a list of everyone who volunteered. I'd like to thank each of them personally."

Great job by outstanding people. They should think about running for office most our politicians stayed on the sidelines wore cardigans or sat in their own clic.
Great job by great people
Awesome job to all involved. Even though East Rockaway covers a very small area of the map, you were able to place it at the apex. Nice work.
Unbelievably fantastic job by ERFD, auxiliary police and the village hall. Frustration is widespread about LIPA but the village did try to pass along info from Lipa. Turns out Lipa gave conflicting info and they are the ones to blame for our power issues.
I had the pleasure of volunteering at the Firehouse for several days and was very impressed with Ms. Daitz. She had the whole operation running very smoothly. I was very displeased however with the local politicians that were there. What I saw was a terrible vision of patting themselves on the back Mayor Lenahan and Deputy Mayor Romano made it a point to load up a box truck while the cameras from a major network was there video taping them doing it. This had man power and such tied up for a little less than an hour. I made four trips to Bethany in my own car to drop supplies off during the time it took to load this truck. This would have been fine but when the camera was put away they unloaded the truck they just loaded for the cameras and loaded an empty truck. This was all done for a photo opportunity! I expressed my displeasure and was told to be quiet. I also saw at one point another person of village government who was on the clock through the Town of Hempstead feeding his men with food that was sent by FEMA to the people who were suffering from this disaster. This was another terrible thing to see! I asked the Mayor if he was coming to Bethany to help inload and he told me to knock yourself out pal and then banged my car with his hand! Disgraceful! Liz Daitz did a fantastic job and should be commended for all she has done. The public officials of East Rockaway were terrible not all but these three that I witnessed. Heck I don't even live in this village and saw this as a terrible act of humanity I can only imagine what others must have thought.

I guess the Town of Hempstead workers, doing 15 hr shifts arent entitled to a meal? Or would you rather have them park the trucks and go to a restaurant? As far as the Mayor and his trustees, they have been at the village hall, coordinating the day to day business that still needs to be done. All of the people in this village seem to think the town hall controls LIPA. Guess what? The village is not LIPA. They are not your cable, water, or newspaper delivery service. I've been without power, gas, etc as everyone else. But when I see people ranting and raving at Fran about their power it's ridiculous. The village can only forward the information given to them from LIPA.

Paul I think your missing the part of feeding the workers using FEMA food which is not for their use. Can you explain what I am reading about the photo op that I read in the comment above yours?
Monday, November 19, 2012 | Report this
Hey Paul
I think you are really missing the mark ... jabeyrer never said they couldn't eat what he was saying was that the TOH workers and the trustee who works for them were eating FEMA food which was meant for the poor souls who lost things. TOH guys were on the clock getting paid and had money to use for eating they should not have taken from those who were less fortunate! That is the disgraceful part about it. I have noticed you are still silent on the Mayor and Deputy Mayor ... off the topic where were the representatives from the village for the veterans by the way. Not a single one showed up , yes I heard the mayor was sick but what about the other guys they could have gone!

I saw the garbage trucks spitting out 20's on the hour cause they were on the clock. The nerve of these guys, and we all know they come from a far off land and none of them lost everything too. They had no problems of their own, they just enjoyed working around the clock. They provided zero help to the community, right? And the audacity to eat a MRE that fema provided. I even saw one throw away part of a cookie. I heard several people starved to death because of those missing mre's. In fact fema was so distraught after hearing the news about the garbage crew that ate an mre, they packed up shop with all the thousands of extra meals and went elsewhere.
Erviewer, you are a pathetic excuse for a human being. With all the sh!t going on and the community coming together to overcome this disaster, you unleash this pathetic and tasteless political attack. Grow up, move on or move out. Nobody wants to hear your crap right now.

Dearest DOC
Your tone on your writing are pretty terrible ... I guess I have hit a nerve on speaking the truth ... I never said that they couldn't eat all I was saying was that it was terrible that they thought it was OK to eat food that was supposed to go to victims and not to people who were on the clock. I am sure some people had a loss of some sort with the crew I saw but they were working for the TOH not the DPW of East Rock. If you are a public employee working your working and are in the spotlight and should be careful what you do. I guess maybe I should understand that your education is very limited in reading because not once did I attack a person I was expressing what I read and saw ... it is a shame that if someone speaks the truth you get upset. Say hi to Mr. Lombardo for me!

text: By Pastor Vince CarrigSports Writer Senior guard Jessi Hoffert's two three pointers started a 21-3 Lady Plainsmen second quarter run that gave Head Coach Deanne Bishop her first win, a 44-42 victory over the Lady Eagles in Wray, Colo. Friday night. Jessi Hoffert added another three pointer from the right corner to give Perkins County a 37-32 fourth quarter lead and led her team with 15 points. "I'd like to think that the time [Jessi] spent working on her shot [over the summer] is paying off now in terms of shooting percentage and her confidence in wanting to take some of those tough shots," Coach Bishop said of her performance. Senior center Beth Lenz staged a Wray comeback almost entirely by herself, outscoring the Lady Plainsmen team in the third quarter, 12-5. Lenz led all players with 20 points. Forward Kasse Swisher scored all eight of her points in the fourth quarter; a three pointer soared the Lady Eagles right back into contention at 34-32. Jessi Hoffert neutralized Swisher's damage with a "three" of her own to open a 37-32 Lady Plainsmen lead. "I thought that the kids worked hard and showed composure in some tough situations. Ultimately they found a way to win," Coach Bishop said of her first win. Senior guard Michi Prante volleyed a pass from the lane to an open center Shania Metcalf to sew up Perkins County's win in the opener, making the score 43-35. Metcalf paced the Lady Plainsmen offense early, scoring the team's first six points. The 6-foot-1 center deposited a backhanded baseline pass from forward Courtney McClenahan and sank a foul-line jumper to prevent the Lady Eagles from taking a huge early lead. Metcalf posted 10 points. McClenahan scooped in a layup for two of her seven points; forward Matisyn Humphrey scored in transition and hit three free throws for seven points as well. Freshman Brandie Ross provided solid defense in the game's critical moments, notching a steal and spotting a wide-open Prante for points. Lady Eagles' forward Katy Peterson put Wray ahead 12-8 in the first quarter with six points on a pair of short jumpers and a pair of free throws.

Late-Stage Prostate Cancer Patients Eligible for Expedited Decisions on Benefit Applications
Changes to Social Security Administration guidelines have provided a way to expedite claims filed by Americans suffering from stage four prostate cancer.
In a recent move that could save thousands of lives, stage four prostate cancer has been added to the "compassionate allowances" list of conditions. Patients with the disease are now able to receive decisions regarding available care within days instead of weeks, months, or years.
Congressman Elijah Cummings praised the action on Monday, calling the decision important and saying it will surely affect men of all races—but especially the African American men who are disproportionately dying of the cancer.
"This disease, prostate cancer, affects one out of every six men in the United States during their lifetime so this is very serious business that we are talking about," said Cummings. "This change in policy will expedite the applications of individuals diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer."
"Claiming to have advanced prostate cancer as defined in the compassionate allowances listing is enough to put your application for benefits on the fast track," he added.
Cummings said the old protocol was a death sentence for many patients, and was a grueling process that delayed access to treatment.
"In some cases, my constituents were waiting more than two years to receive a disability decision—suffering debilitating pain with no secure source of income," he said.
Social Security Administrator Commissioner Carolyn Colvin explained how the change affects patients with recurrent prostate cancer or cancer that is spreading through their body organs and bones.
"Compassionate allowances, or CAL, allow us to quickly target the most obviously disabled individuals for allowances based on objective medical information that we can obtain quickly," she said. "For persons who apply, or report having a CAL condition, their applications are reviewed to determine if they meet initial requirements to qualify for benefits. If they do, their claim is expedited to our current disability process."
"The average processing time for a compassionate allowance claim for last year was 15 days, compared to 86.2 days or more through the normal process," she said.
The compassionate allowances list was created in 2008 and initially consisted of 50 unusual diseases and cancers. Today, a total of 225 are on the list, including numerous cancers and rare disorders such as Tay Sachs disease in infants, a disorder that destroys nerve cells, brain matter, and spinal cords.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, after skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most prominent form of cancer among American men. An estimated 238,590 men were diagnosed last year, with more than 29,000 succumbing to prostate cancer.
The disease causes cells within the male reproduction system to multiply out of control. According to the American Cancer Society, African American men are 60 percent more likely than White men to be diagnosed with a prostate cancer than their White male counterparts. Their chances of dying from the disease are also two times higher than those of White men.
A survivor of cancer himself, Col. Artie L. Shelton of the Prostate Health Education Netowork, Inc. said that screening is a key to survival.
"Men are encouraged to have their prostate screened at the age of 45. However, if there is a family history of prostate cancer—a father, an uncle, or a brother, the first screening for prostate cancer should be at the age of 40," said Shelton, whose father and uncle both battled the disease.
Dr. Sanford J. Siegel, of Chesapeake Urology Associates agreed that education about screening and testing is crucial for Black men. Siegel is a strong advocate for testing the blood for high levels of protein made in the prostate gland, or prostate-specific testing, also called PSA.
"Although prostate cancer is much more common in the African American community, African American men usually get diagnosed much later in this disease than White men," he said. "However, if African-American men get diagnosed earlier with PSA testing and visit their physician, they are just as curable as anybody else. Unfortunately that does not happen, and we have a situation where men are dying unnecessarily from this disease."

Columbia, SC (WLTX) - ESPN is reporting that USC running back Marcus Lattimore has decided to enter the 2013 NFL Draft, foregoing a possible return for a senior season at Carolina.
Monday morning, ESPN college football reporter Joe Schad quoted a source close to Lattimore that said the back had decided to leave, and that an official announcement would come later in the week.
A spokesperson from the University of South Carolina tells WLTX that he was not aware that Lattimore had made a decision.
"Marcus is weighing his decision about what he wants to do," said Steve Spurrier said in a telephone interview with GreenvilleOnline.com Monday. "I think we should give him some time and let him consider his options. When he's ready, I'm sure they will have a press conference. In fact, I think they're going to have one later this week."
Lattimore has been recovering since suffering damage to the tendons in his knee during the Tennessee game. It was the second straight year Lattimore had been injured during the season, causing him to miss the remainder of the schedule.
According to Schad, Lattimore had consulted with other NFL players who've had similar injuries, and decided that rehabbing his knee with NFL doctors was in his best interest.
Theoretically, Lattimore had one year of eligibility left. However, due to the extent of his injury, a return in 2013 was considered unlikely. Schad's report says Lattimore understands that he might not play, even in the NFL, until 2014.
If true, this concludes one of the most heralded careers in Gamecocks history. When he came out of Byrnes High School in 2010, he was the consensus number one running back in the nation and had been named South Carolina's "Mr. Football."
Lattimore has 2,677 career rushing yards, which is sixth in school history. He has 41 total touchdowns and 38 rushing touchdowns, which are both school records.

|Dist. attorney advises area school districts on mandatory reporting
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
Twenty-six school districts in the 13th Judicial District were sent informational letters Tuesday, Feb. 28 regarding mandatory reporting of sexual misconduct allegations.
Letters were sent by District Attorney Bob Watson. "Unfortunately, we have recently had several incidents in the 13th Judicial District where school officials were aware that children had been subjected to nonconsensual sexual touching, but no report was made," said Watson in the letter.
Holyoke School District was the subject of a 9News exposé Monday, Feb. 27, which highlighted that an alleged incident between two students in December at Holyoke High School should have been reported to law enforcement by the school district.
A written statement provided by Holyoke school officials for the 9News program cited concern for privacy rights of students and families as the reason the district doesn't comment for stories on discipline issues involving individual students.
A thorough investigation is conducted in matters involving student discipline. "It is important to me that parents know that student safety is always a priority for this district," said Dr. Jeff Tharp, board president, in the written statement.
Watson said there seems to be some confusion in distinguishing between sexual harassment or sexual assault, which isn't a choice for schools to make.
Watson said on the 9News report he has decided not to charge the Holyoke school officials with any wrongdoing.
At this point, he's pursuing the route of educating all school districts in his judicial district, which includes the counties of Phillips, Yuma, Logan, Sedgwick, Morgan, Kit Carson and Washington.
When contacted Tuesday morning, Watson said it seems to him there was no malicious intent nor flaunting of the law on the part of the Holyoke School District in the incident. He reiterated this isn't the only school district this has come up in.
Watson sees this as an issue needing education. At this point, "I want compliance, not punishment," he added Tuesday.
"As is proper, great discretion is afforded school officials in dealing with disciplinary matters," said Watson in his letter to school officials.
"The Colorado legislature, however, has determined that certain matters must also be reported to law enforcement, notwithstanding any school action. These include allegations of sexual misconduct, including unlawful sexual contact."
Watson said his office continues to be more than willing to provide any training on this subject. "It is our goal to work together to protect our children."

R&C's Big (Photo) Pages June 2010Written by on June 1, 2010 www.adamwrightphoto.com
I was born and raised in Corona, California. I don't feel the need to dress any differently now than I did six years ago because of the bikes or cars I like or bought. My main premise when shooting for my various photo mags (Road Course) is to shoot what I think is the truth mixed in with photos that traditionally would be tossed by others. It's not for everyone. It has an awkward flow just to show that it can. They're printed as cheap as possible, so they're not real technical. My photos lately are bare bones, and purposefully avoid what I think are photo trends. When I started shooting these car and bike guys, there were a lot of angles I thought were being ignored. I decided to shoot builders and their friends in their own shops without moving things around, just natural stuff ... just life. No big deal-they're just photos; no academic over-descriptive nonsense.

Clients need an enormous amount of trust to put their hard-earned assets into the hands of a credible financial advisor. When selecting an advisor, they will consider qualifications including financial planning expertise, experience, reputation, credentials, how the advisor is compensated (i.e., fees, commissions etc.), and the ability of the planner to remain objective while acting in the best interest of the client. CPA financial planners begin the process with one leg up on the competition with those three letters, C-P-A. Studies have consistently shown that CPAs have earned a valued place as one of the most trusted advisors to individuals and businesses alike.
Consequently, the AICPA saw the need to develop a specialty credential in financial planning exclusively for CPAs, because in a competitive marketplace clients consider specialty credentials to be proof of knowledge and skill. The Personal Financial Specialist Credential (PFS) was created in 1987 for the sole purpose of distinguishing the skills and reputation of CPAs in the broader financial planning market; to set them apart from the "alphabet soup" of other financial planning credentials and to give them an advantage in the marketplace.
Biggest is Not Always the Best
When compared to other financial planning credentials, the CPA/PFS is not the most widely known designation among consumers. Recognition of the PFS is increasing, however, as PFS is repeatedly being mentioned and recommended by personal finance reporters in the Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, Kiplinger's Personal Finance, and others. Even without the highest brand recognition, CPA/PFS signifies a higher level of skill and knowledge and carries greater prestige to many. Only CPAs can become PFS credential holders, and for this reason there are many competitive advantages they enjoy, including:
A reputation as one of the most trusted advisors.
It is important for CPAs that practice financial planning to distinguish their unique skill sets and promote their competitive advantages by becoming CPA/PFS credential holders. Holding any other financial planning credential will not communicate how their level of expertise and experience surpasses that of other financial advisors.
CPA/PFS Credential Holders Require Support from their Own Profession
CPA financial planners have special needs that can best be fulfilled by the CPA profession. Because these professionals often incorporate their financial planning services into their tax practices, they face challenges such as balancing their time between tax and PFP work; staying informed of compliance and regulatory matters; selecting financial planning software that will integrate with their tax programs; and keeping abreast of trends in the CPA PFP profession. For guidance and support with these issues, it is most fitting for them to turn to their CPA/PFS community and the AICPA. Unlike any other competitive credential program, the AICPA's CPA/PFS program caters solely to the specialized needs of CPA financial planners. Furthermore, the members of the CPA/PFS community collaborate on best practices, share ideas and help each other with practice development issues in a variety of forums.
It is also important that CPAs who are looking to start a PFP practice, expand their PFP practice, or partner with/outsource to a financial planning expert, look to a CPA/PFS first. The CPA profession is somewhat unique in that it has buyers and sellers under one roof. CPAs that are "buyers" can greatly benefit from partnering with, hiring or outsourcing to other CPAs with specialty credentials like PFS (the "sellers"). CPAs share a common educational background in accounting and finance and are bound by the same ethical and professional standards.
CPA/PFS Credential Holders Receive Abundant Marketing Benefits
It is clear that CPA/PFS credential holders are distinguished in the market. The AICPA's public relations program promotes CPA/PFS credential holders as top providers of financial planning services and has increased awareness of the CPA/PFS credential among consumers. In the past year alone, several hundred media interviews were conducted with CPA/PFS credential holders as spokespeople. As a result of this exposure, CPA/PFS credential holders have experienced more recognition in the marketplace and increased new business opportunities.
In addition to receiving publicity and brand recognition, CPA/PFS credential holders receive exclusive marketing benefits from the AICPA, including practice management guidance, tools and various promotional opportunities such as:
It Makes Sense to Become a Member of the PFP Section
The AICPA encourages CPAs to join specialized communities in the accounting profession and obtain credentials designed exclusively for CPAs. The AICPA PFP Section comprises not only PFS credential holders, but also CPA financial planners that are establishing their PFP practices and want guidance and education that will help them grow and enhance their services. These PFP professionals—along with PFS credential holders—belong to the AICPA's PFP Section. The PFP Section also offers the community a wide variety of resources, practice tools, educational guides, Web seminar sessions and discounts on PFP-related products and conferences. Generally, members of the PFP Section who demonstrate proficiency in providing PFP services move on to obtain the CPA/PFS credential in order to demonstrate expertise to the consumer market.
CPAs interested in pursuing the CPA/PFS credential need only complete a short two-page application and attest to the following qualifications consisting of:
Completing the online application and becoming a CPA/PFS automatically enrolls a CPA in the PFP Section without any extra cost. CPAs who do not qualify for the CPA/PFS credential but are interested in joining the PFP Section to gain access to beneficial PFP knowledge, resources and opportunities can enroll in the PFP Section.
Demand for qualified, credible financial planners is growing as the population ages. Set this against a backdrop of other advisors being blamed for unscrupulous practices as well as an overwhelming, blurring choice of specialty credentials, and one can see it is essential for CPA financial planners to distinguish their services with the PFS Credential. For more information about the CPA/PFS credential and the PFP Section, please visit the membership section.

I am trying to integrate Zimbra and Alfresco by creating an account in Zimbra using Alfresco as an IMAP server. Thunderbird is able to view the Alfresco repository as IMAP folders and it seems to work fine. So I think things are OK on the Alfresco side. I am able to setup the Alfresco IMAP account in Zimbra. When I save the account I get the Test Settings message with Status=Success and I press OK. Then after a couple seconds I get the following message:

|Jeff Eisenberg Commentary
|1 (1)
The Towns vs. Jahlil Okafor debate faded recently as NBA personnel fell in love with the versatile ex-Kentucky big man. Towns shined in the paint for the Wildcats, protecting the rim with his ability to alter shots at one end and bullying big men for low-post baskets at the other. He will never be as brilliant a back-to-the-basket scorer as Okafor, but he runs the floor well, moves more fluidly defending the perimeter and is capable of knocking down mid-range jumpers. Marc J. Spears' grade: A+.
|2 (2)
|LA Lakers
Once considered a tick or two below some of the elite players in his class, Russell ascended draft boards this winter thanks to a brilliant freshman season. He has the quickness and vision to run the point in the NBA yet also possesses the shooting ability and scoring instincts to thrive off ball too. Marc J. Spears' grade: A.
|3 (3)
How did Okafor enter the college season as the consensus No. 1 pick, put up huge numbers in leading Duke to a national title and still slip? Concerns about his pick-and-roll defense and free-throw shooting is the most obvious explanation. The 76ers already have former top-five picks Nerlens Noel and and Joel Embiid, but they couldn't resist adding Okafor too when he fell to them. Now they have to either find a trade partner or hope that Okafor's array of polished low-post moves outweigh his other flaws. Marc J. Spears' grade: A.
|4 (4)
|New York
Much to the chagrin of a jeering New York crowd, the Knicks got a 7-foot forward from Latvia who has played in Spain, speaks perfect English and has rocketed up draft boards the past few months. Porzingis is certainly a high-risk pick, yet his potential is tantalizing. The 19-year-old is long, athletic, graceful and equally adept at shooting threes, attacking the rim and blocking shots. Marc J. Spears' grade: B+.
|5 (5)
He did not play much for European power Barcelona this past season, but the headstrong 20-year-old flashed immense offensive potential when he did get on the floor. He's athletic enough to blow by a defender off the dribble, yet a deadly enough shooter to force opponents to guard him out to the 3-point line. If the Magic are patient, this could be a high-value pick. Marc J. Spears' grade: A.
|6 (6)
If DeMarcus Cousins is truly on his way out of Sacramento, then the Kings may have turned to his alma mater to nab his replacement. Cauley-Stein won't be the polished scorer that Cousins is, but the 7-footer is a defensive menace. He has the size and strength to hold his position on the low block against centers, the timing and athleticism to alter shots in the paint and the quickness and footwork to stay in front of guards on the pick-and-roll. Marc J. Spears' grade: B.
|7 (7)
Emmanuel Mudiay: Either Denver intends to play two point guards whose strength is attacking off the dribble, or Ty Lawson may be on his way out. Mudiay is an elite point guard who originally signed with SMU but skipped college and played professionally in China last season. He is a big and strong but an erratic shooter. Marc J. Spears' grade: A.
|8 (8)
Johnson became a high school phenom and a college standout by overpowering smaller wings off the dribble and finishing with aplomb in transition. He will still be capable on defense and dangerous in transition in the NBA, but it will be interesting to see how he fares facing defenders of his size and strength. A knock-down jumper would certainly help, and perhaps with time Johnson will develop one. Marc J. Spears' grade: B.
|9 (9)
He ascended from unheralded recruit to national player of the year by transforming himself into college basketball's biggest matchup problem. If he faced a traditional center, he'd float to the perimeter and rain down jumpers. If he faced a smaller, quicker player, he'd back him down and score in the paint. Kaminsky may not be an elite defender or rebounder in the NBA, but he should remain a multidimensional scoring threat. Marc J. Spears' grade: B.
|10 (10)
While Winslow has drawn many comparisons to former ex-Kentucky standout Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, the former Duke star has a more diverse set of skills. He's almost as multidimensional a defender as Kidd-Gilchrist, yet he also is a solid slasher, an improving shooter and dynamic in transition. The only concern is that much of Winslow's production at Duke came as an undersized power forward, so he'll have to prove he can take quicker wings off the dribble in the NBA. Marc J. Spears' grade: A+.
|11 (11)
He has already proven he can swat shots. Now he'll have to try to swat away questions about his durability and his potential to impact the game on offense. The 19-year-old center was considered one of the elite players in his class when he signed with Texas, but he made only a modest impact on offense for the Longhorns, often fading against top teams. The form on his outside shot is solid yet he made only 27 percent of his threes. Marc J. Spears grade: B.
|12 (12)
Still somewhat of a mystery because the ex-Kentucky forward had to contort his game to fit the role UK needed him to play last season. The Wildcats had a glut of frontcourt talent, so Lyles became a 6-foot-10 small forward in a two-post offense. While he isn't a liability defending the perimeter, his more natural position in the NBA is probably power forward. The skilled, versatile rookie should add to the strength of an already formidable Utah frontcourt. Marc J. Spears' grade: A+.
|13 (13)
The John Calipari infomercial continued Thursday night when Booker became the fourth Kentucky player selected in the lottery. Booker is an elite shooter with good size for his position. He has a chance to develop into a Klay Thompson-esque wing if his defense and ability to create off the dribble develop. Marc J. Spears' grade: A.
|14 (14)
|Oklahoma City
From Damian Lillard, to C.J. McCollum, to Elfrid Payton, the past few drafts have featured mid-major guards who ascended from obscurity. The latest to join that group is Murray State's star, a combo guard who enjoyed a breakout sophomore season for the Racers. Payne soared up draft boards this spring because of his ability to pass or score. Marc J. Spears' grade: A.
|15 (15)
From his jewel-studded shoes, to his red suit, to his bold words, Oubre isn't lacking confidence. He told ESPN Thursday that he's a jewel and the team that got him is winning the title. Those comments will only add to Oubre's reputation as an enigma. He was the rare top-10 prospect who scarcely saw playing time his first two months at Kansas before blossoming into a contributor by midseason. Marc J. Spears' grade: C+.
|16 (16)
This was a surprising pick only because Rozier lacks an obvious NBA position. He doesn't have the pass-first mentality of a classic point guard, yet he's neither big enough, nor a consistent enough shooter to project as an elite wing. What Rozier does do well is get to the basket and defend. Perhaps that will be enough for him to carve a niche. Marc J. Spears' grade: C.
|17 (17)
A Milwaukee team in need of instant offense may have found some here. The UNLV wing averaged 17.8 points per game as a freshman and showcased deep range and an ability to score off the dribble before suffering a season-ending injury in mid-February. This was a little higher than many expected Vaughn to go, yet he has the scoring punch to one day justify it. Marc J. Spears' grade: C.
|18 (18)
There won't be 17 players in this draft better than Dekker. The former Wisconsin standout enjoyed a brilliant NCAA tournament, leading the Badgers all the way to the national title game. His jumper can be erratic and his defense is merely average, but Dekker will likely thrive in a more free-flowing NBA system after being kept on a tight leash at Wisconsin. Marc J. Spears' grade: B.
|19 (19)
|New York
While Grant's ability to create for himself or his teammates off the dribble makes him an excellent value for the Knicks, this could be a case of a good player landing in a system that doesn't fit him. Grant may have been the best PG in the draft exploiting screens. He landed with a team that favors Phil Jackson's triangle offense, a system that uses hardly any screens. Marc J. Spears' grade: B.
|20 (20)
He may not be the best shooter or the most explosive athlete in this draft, but few prospects make better decisions with the ball in their hands. Wright displayed excellent court vision coming off screens, sometimes calling his own number but more often finding an open teammate. He also impacts a game with his defense. Marc J. Spears' grade: B.
|21 (21)
The big question with Anderson: Was his improvement as a shooter a one-year mirage? He shot 48.5 percent on threes as a junior before getting hurt, a huge step up over his 30 percent from behind the arc as a sophomore. If Anderson remains a knock-down shooter, his size, strength and defensive prowess makes him a prototypical three and D guy in the NBA. Marc J. Spears' grade: A.
|22 (22)
With Taj Gibson on the shelf for four months after ankle surgery, the Bulls landed some frontcourt insurance. They selected the reigning SEC player of the year. Portis won't wow anyone with his athleticism, but the big man handles the ball well and makes shots. He'll compete for playing time behind Joakim Noah, Pau Gasol and Nikola Mirotic. Marc J. Spears' grade: A.
|23 (23)
For a guy with a nonexistant jumper, Hollis-Jefferson could still be a high-value pick this low in the draft. Not only is he an elite defender capable of locking down point guards and wings, he also passes and rebounds well for his position and finishes deftly at the rim. Hollis-Jefferson has a good chance to have a Tony Allen-like NBA career even if his outside shot never becomes a threat. Marc J. Spears' grade: A.
|24 (24)
Three months after leading Duke to a national championship as a freshman, Tyus Jones' fairytale basketball career somehow got even better. The Minnesota native is coming home after being selected by his hometown Timberwolves. Jones is neither very big nor very athletic, but he makes up for it with savvy decisions and a knack for sinking huge shots at key moments. He'll struggle on defense, but with the game on the line, he seldom misses. Marc J. Spears' grade: C+.
|25 (25)
Perhaps it's good that Martin is going to the Grind House because he could use some more grind. Martin is a talented face-up forward, but he didn't play much defense at LSU and he'd sometimes vanish for long stretches. Joining a Memphis team renowned for its effort and defensive prowess could be good for him. If he emulates his teammates in those areas, he can be an impact player. Marc J. Spears' grade: D.
|26 (26)
|San Antonio
To the surprise of nobody, San Antonio drafted a foreign prospect who will remain overseas for a couple years yet could pay off long-term. Milutinov runs the court well, has good footwork and scores capably in the paint. Taking him and stashing him in Europe will save salary cap room that the Spurs can devote to a free agent this summer. Marc J. Spears' grade: C.
|27 (27)
|LA Lakers
He was an unexpected pick, but there may be some method to the Lakers' madness. The son of the former Cavs star led Wyoming to the NCAA tournament this past season after recovering from an ACL tear the previous year. He is an NBA-caliber athlete versatile enough to do a little bit of everything, from defending multiple positions, to knocking down open mid-range shots, to finishing above the rim. Marc J. Spears' grade: D.
|28 (28)
Boston already added a strong perimeter defender in Terry Rozier. It added a shooter to go with him. NCAA tournament darling R.J. Hunter didn't shoot a high percentage this past season, but some of that was a result of the Panthers' need for him to shoot early and often. While the wing isn't an elite athlete, he can be a weapon in the NBA as a spot-up shooter. Marc J. Spears grade: B.
|29 (29)
He has some upside because of his length and athleticism, but it may be a while before he is capable of contributing. Not only is he recovering from a torn ACL that cost him the second half of his freshman season, the forward sometimes looked lost on the floor even before his injury. He averaged 9.3 points and 6.9 rebounds before getting hurt. Marc J. Spears' grade: C.
|30 (30)
|Golden State
Whether concern over a hip injury that could require surgery proves valid or not, Looney is outstanding value for the Warriors. The NBA champs are getting a mid-first-round value at No. 30 and they don't really need him to contribute next season anyway. Looney didn't create his own shot in the traditional sense very often as a freshman at UCLA, but he found ways to impact the game with his rebounding, defense and an increasingly reliable jump shot. Marc J. Spears' grade: C.

(Des Moines) -- The state's pork producers while attending the annual Iowa Pork Congress... were discussing possible scenarios that could hurt pork exports. Bill Tentinger of Le Mars has just completed his term as president of the pork organization. He says producers are talking about the country of origin labeling requirement, and how it may have the potential to disrupt pork exports. The pork official says the new rule violates the terms of the World Trade Organization, and he says the U-S currently exports up to 28 percent of its pork product.
Listen to
It is estimated the pork industry contributes nearly $5 billion annually to Iowa's economy.
