Shaq and wife Shaunie O'Neal/ babble.com
During the press conference Tuesday morning, Gloria Allred spoke on behalf of her client, Vanessa Lopez saying that she thought she was pregnant with Shaquille O'Neals child, RadarOnline.com is the first to report.
Allred reveals that Lopez was late with her period in Sept. 2009, and that the 37-year-old Shaquille told her client that he, "wanted to have a child with Ms. Lopez" and "he told her that he wanted to always have her in his life."
However, it wasn't until after Lopez told O'Neal about the possible pregnancy that the harrasment began.
Allred reveals to RadarOnline:
"Ms. Lopez was late with her period and thought that she might be pregnant. She communicated this to Mr. O'Neal who responded by stating that she needed to tell the baby's father and then went on to state that there was no way that the baby could be his.
"Mr. O'Neal knew that he and Ms. Lopez engaged in unprotected sex and that they had been together numerous times in the preceding months and that she had not been with anyone else during this period of time. She felt that his response was very disrespectful and she was deeply hurt and offended. Though he apologized to her for his reaction she told him that it was over and that she wanted him to leave her alone."
More on the story as it develops.

This adapter is necessary when mounting a Hayes 74mm post mount caliper on a frame with 51mm International Standard brake tabs. They are available in three versions, depending on which size rotor you wish to run (6, 7 or 8 inch).
Holes line up perfect, quality made and strong. I'm running 8" rotors with 4piston calipers so strength is needed, these mounts are a GREAT fit!
Sturdy and gets the job done.
Its a brake mount, and hayes does it well. Bolts up nice- great hardware, cant beat the price
No complaints. Everything works. Solid quality
Light and cheap. Gotta love that! Works well with Prime Pro and Expert brakes. Have not moved a bit in over a year!
flawless install, upgraded from a 6 to 7 inch rotor
Good quality and fit perfectly.
This is one item that duct tape is not a suitable substitute for. Make sure you know what type of mount is on your fork and what specific model your caliper is. Or else you get left at home while your buddies go ride.

You already have an opinion about Lana Del Rey. This is inevitable: She's been such a polarizing figure in independent (and mainstream) music for long enough that most everyone has decided what they think of her. Whether you think she's underrated or overrated, there's no denying that Ultraviolence, her newest LP out last week, is a huge artistic step forward for the artist formerly known as Lizzy Grant.
You don't have to live in Del Rey's world, or even want to, to appreciate what she's doing with Ultraviolence. Tonally and thematically, the record is very reminiscent of the 2011 indie film "Bellflower", which depicted a culture of fast cars, strong drinks, and casual misogyny. The title track is ominous: "I can hear sirens, sirens/He hit me and it felt like a kiss," a narcotized-sounding Del Rey coos, quoting the controversial song by the Crystals. There's nothing glamorous about abusive relationships, but Del Rey isn't defending them: She's mining controversial cultural material for maximum impact.
But really, Del Rey is remarkably consistent here. There's much less fluff on Ultraviolence than on Born to Die, and the mood is so cinematically devastating that it functions pretty well as an internally-consistent work of art. This isn't a feminist manifesto (Del Rey has said she doesn't identify with the feminist movement anyway), and it shouldn't be taken as such. But in the same way that The Weekend's morally blank lyrics hit a nerve, scratch an itch, and tell a compelling story, Del Rey has morphed into a larger-than-life cultural icon that seems to stand in for the hopelessness of it all. It's troubling, and it's frankly pretty brilliant.
The record's highlights are its singles: "Ultraviolence" is gorgeous if problematic, and "West Coast" slows down when it hits the chorus, as though Del Rey is daring the listener to skip past its improbably beautiful, soporific crawl. There's a languid quality to these songs—Ultraviolence is a June release, and it's drenched in summertime sadness, which Del Rey should probably go ahead and trademark. There's a chilling, angry fembot vibe in "F***ed My Way Up to the Top," and "Money Power Glory" demonstrates more self-awareness than has been seen elsewhere in Del Rey's discography. She's clearly willing to engage with the tropes she's been assigned, and the conversation is encouragingly robust.
There's been some really smart writing recently about the phenomenon of female sadness in popular culture. No question, Del Rey has turned a mood into an art form. It's also not just her: There are a slew of female artists right now who embody the same kind of melancholy. But nobody commits to it as wholly as Del Rey does. Banks, Lykke Li, and Sky Ferreira may be singing sad songs, too, but at the end of the day they appear to be able to get far enough away from the material to function as relatively normal human beings. Del Rey affords herself no such space. She's embodied her work so thoroughly that Lana Del Rey is virtually indistinguishable from Lizzy Grant (and this is a fascinating paradox given early criticism related to her perceived authenticity). She's got her audience's number this time around: look no further than "Money Power Glory" lyric: "Hallelujah, I wanna take you for all that you've got." She doesn't care what you think, but she's fairly confident you won't be able to look away.
Musically, the phenomenon is easy enough to name: emotionally saturated, Americana-laced lyrics and production that calls attention to Del Rey's undeniably compelling vocals. Culturally, there's something more at work here. It's this metanarrative about a woman singing sad songs because she feels like it—not because she identifies as a feminist or because she wants your respect—that is so fascinating. Del Rey appears just as self-loathing as she is glamorous. She's painting with broad, probably intentionally problematic strokes, and it's working for her.

Elektra #1 became available April 23, 2014. The story is written by Haden Blackman with art by Michael Del Mundo. Elektra is known as the world's most beautiful and deadliness assassin. Her trademark weapon is a pair of bladed sai. Elektra made her first appearance in Daredevil #168 in January 1981.
This comic starts off the Elektra telling us a small bit of her past. Her mother died giving birth to her and she was raised by her father. She tells us how she struggled with finding herself. She says she's been a daughter, a girlfriend, a student, a slave, and a victim. She wanted to be many things growing up like a ballerina, a artist, and a super hero. Nothing fit her but being an assassin. That leads us right into the story. She meets up with the "matchmaker" to get a new assignment, one that will take her away from New York City. The matchmaker brings up her past with Daredevil, Elektra's love interest, telling her that his left the city. ( In the new Daredevil comic he has moved in sunny San Francisco)
The matchmaker sets Elektra up with a really high paying gig, find and bring back Cape Crow alive, and that's when we get to see who Elektra will be going up against. He says the serpent calls him Bloody Lips. Bloody Lips is also looking for Cape Crow. He has the power to absorb people's memories, skills, strengths, and voices. He said he had to eat many S.H.I.E.L.D agents to find Bullseye. We then find out that Agent Fury had Bullseye hidden away somewhere in this tomb looking thing. And Bullseye knows where to find Cape Crow.
We end the story with Elektra jumping head first into a place full of monsters, it is called Monster Island. The art work looks like dull water colors, but somehow suits the story and matches Elektra's current attitude and mind set. I found it kind of hard to read when it came to the larger panels, but I caught on pretty quickly. All in all I really enjoyed the comic and I will be looking forward to issue #2.

Teaching film
Don Hume never saw himself working professionally in film. The 12-year English teacher graduated from Marina High School and also teaches British literature. He's taken a few short film editing classes but said his real skill is in working on the narratives, such as character development and conflict resolution. He finds the chance to work on students' creative projects rewarding: "Being an English teacher, working with an English curriculum, there's not a lot of room for creativity. With this class, I get to help kids create their dreams. They imagine it, we make it happen."

I havnt heard of him, And his prices on uppers and lowers are on the high side...Doc
He's crazy expensive. I just received a couple of Ares 80% lowers. They are very nice and priced right. The only problem is the back log.
I think the price dif is because they are machined from billet. They are nice, I have a billet lower on my shorty, but I got it because its all I could find at the time. I would say that if you had to have billet these would save u some cash.
Clan MacPherson
j427, do you have a jig and all for a 80% lower? can a cheap drill press work or screw a job like that?
he has a pretty nice looking jig.. but he's too high for what he's offering..
theres a blue million people offering 80% set ups now days.
Watching "detractors" devote so much time, effort & resources to get ZERO results = Life on the Net.
Knowing that it would change nothing on the net if they did succeed... PRICELESS.
Building or Bitching? which are you here to do?

- Decide what you want to write about a long time in advance: Don't get to February or March and still have no idea what in the blue hell you are writing about. If you decide on your topic far enough in advance, you can do background reading and hopefully even find your "angle" before you actually start writing it.
- Choose a topic that interests you: This is half the battle. There's no use in writing about something that you find boring or something that you just don't care about. I think in order to be motivated to complete even the most tedious of research tasks (i.e. finding statistics, piecing together appropriate parts of history to create a background for your reader etc.), your topic has to be something that arouses some sort of sentiment within you. This is why I chose the umbrella topic of "feminism" as a starting point, because it is a subject which is relevant and academic enough to warrant writing a paper about it, but which is also something that I enjoy reading about online anyway. Other people on my course chose things like tourism and cinema, because they are things that they themselves are passionate about.
- Make sure you're happy with your tutor: If you aren't, then request a change as soon as possible because they are going to be your guide and first port of call every time you feel like the few thousand words you've just written are utter nonsensical drivel. They will have done all of this before so should be understanding of your situation and should want to help at any opportunity so if you feel otherwise, then request a change because this one piece of work is a large percentage of your final degree classification and you can't afford to be palmed off every time you're in desperate need of some direction.
- Write a preliminary document: What I mean by this is a document which outlines the following: why you want to write about the topic, what interests you, what you may have read in the news recently about it and what questions you have prior to your research and how you will go about answering those. This document will serve as a working introduction for yourself and your tutor (so they have a basic idea of what you will be studying) and will help you to centre your research.
- Read as you write: Don't just do some initial reading and think "wow yes I am now such an expert in this field anything that I write about it will be correct." Until you are a PhD student, you have to back up everything with other people's research and writing and making sure that you read as you write will help you to steer and support your own research. It's also useful because there is nothing worse than having to go through all of the 547329 books you've borrowed from the library to find that one quote that you don't have a source for.
- Allow writer's block to happen: Don't try and force any old crap out if you feel like it's just not happening. My writer's block lasted for a couple of weeks each time and there was nothing I could do about it, so I just got on with other important assignments that needed written and some important knitting that needed knitted. It will pass eventually and the next time you sit down to write you will probably find yourself word-vomiting all over the shop (just make sure it's the good kind of word vomit).
- Don't panic: This is probably (read: definitely) an extremely cliché thing to say where looming deadlines are concerned, but seriously do not panic. There will come a point where you will doubt everything you have written so far and will wonder whether your topic is a worthwhile topic to have chosen at all and whether the moderator will simply fall asleep whilst reading your paper because it is just so fucking boring, but don't let this take you over. Contact your tutor with any doubts you may have (this is why you need a good, reliable person to help you) so that they can reassure you and bring you down from your adrenaline-fueled panic high and encourage you to continue with your research path.
Anyway, I am definitely going off on a tangent and am most likely boring those who will be writing about neither French culture nor feminism in their dissertations next year, but I hope that even the smallest part of this post might have helped at least one person who may be having a premature panic attack about what is to come in the next academic year. Now hand me a Malibu.

Sportsmen and non-profit conservation groups are cheering the U.S. Senate's passage of the 2012 Farm Bill by a bi-partisan 63-35 vote. And while this is mostly good news for hunters and anglers, we did suffer one striking loss. Here's how the amendments of greatest importance to sportsmen and wildlife panned out.
Surprise Win: Crop Insurance Linked to Conservation
Despite strong opposition from agricultural leaders, the Senate voted 52-47 to adopt an amendment sponsored by Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) that requires farmers to adhere to certain conservation rules in order to receive federal subsidies to help pay their crop insurance.
According to Greg Schildwachter, a conservation lobbyist, the win is so huge as to suggest a fundamental change in Americans' attitudes toward conservation.
"This means that America's whole idea of conservation is coming around full circle: We've settled land to feed ourselves and the world, we've set aside land for conservation, and we have combined cultivation and conservation on the same lands," he wrote in an email.
Conservation lobbyist George Cooper noted the specific importance of the amendment to sportsmen.
"This was a huge surprise victory," he wrote in an email. "This has major, major implications for millions of acres of ag land and wetlands and clean water. It is also a rare instance in this political climate of conservation interests transcending partisanship."
The Conservation Reserve Program
CRP did take a cut, as expected in this economic environment, but the reduction in funds was not as great as feared. CRP will continue to be funded in a manner similar to the last several years.
"Sportsmen spend $76 billion annually to hunt and fish on lands like those maintained under the Conservation Reserve Program," said Dave Nomsen, vice president of government affairs for Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever. "While taking a cut to programs like CRP is not easy, the Senate-passed Farm Bill maintains an efficient, effective conservation title that assists farmers and ranchers in being good stewards, boasting as it does a suite of voluntary, incentive-based conservation programs that no doubt will remain popular with landowners."
In a disappointing setback for hunting and fishing rights, during negotiations to pick farm bill amendments, this bi-partisan amendment offered by Jon Tester (D-MT) and John Thune (R-SD) did not make the cut. The amendment would have benefited hunting, fishing and recreational access; funded habitat conservation; and reauthorized previous sportsmen's bills. The Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation and many other pro-sportsmen groups are continuing to work with Congressional leaders to advance pro-sportsmen's legislation in the 112th Congress.
"Sodsaver" Amendment
This amendment to protect native prairie grasses was adopted with the final bill. Native prairie grasses are the ideal nesting habitat for upland birds and waterfowl, yet 97 percent of the native grasses in the United States have already been lost–once they're gone, they cannot be replanted.
What now?
All eyes now turn to the U.S. House of Representatives, which has yet to release its version of the bill. We will keep you posted on the developments.

'Hot' competition looks to save energyJeb Wallace-Brodeur / Staff File Photo
Zach Green, of Northfield, caulks around a new insulated basement door during a weatherization project at a Williamstown home. A statewide challenge asks homeowners to commit to taking energy-efficiency measures this year.
MONTPELIER — Rob Apple's multistory home built in the 1850s had major heating losses until a few years ago.
Apple said he has saved about 20 percent on his heating oil bill each year due to weatherization improvements from 2010 or 2011, which included adding insulation like cellulose between the second floor and attic and putting foam on his basement walls.
"The air coming out of my basement was basically sifting through the house ... and there were considerable opportunities to tighten up the place," he said Thursday, standing in his Winter Street home with Gov. Peter Shumlin to advocate for a new initiative for other Vermonters.
If a statewide energy assistance service, Efficiency Vermont, has its way, more than 3,500 homes across the state will follow suit in the Home Energy Challenge. The initiative calls for people to pledge to make improvements this year, such as using energy-efficient light bulbs or a programmable thermostat.
Towns can compete with others in their region to see which can achieve the highest percentage of homes weatherized this year.
The state is trying to meet a goal of weatherizing 80,000 homes by 2020 to improve energy efficiency. Last year, 1,000 households underwent weatherization projects, Efficiency Vermont officials said. To meet the goal, 5,000 homes need to be weatherized annually, the officials said.
Vermont's Weatherization Program pays for such improvements for households whose income is up to 60 percent of the median. Kelly Lucci, a spokeswoman for Efficiency Vermont, which is run by the nonprofit Vermont Energy Investment Corp., said the program has a waiting list of more than a year.
Apple received a rebate on some of the improvements he made but said he still had to "bite the bullet" and spend close to $8,000. He said the investment probably will be returned in about five or six years.

On the eve. of the start of summer the Compton Community came together at Burrell-McDonald Park to enjoy a movie titled "Frozen" that tells the story of a fearless princess who sets off on a journey with a snowman to find her estranged sister, whose icy powers have inadvertently trapped the kingdom in eternal winter.
The event is part of Faith Inspirational Missionary Baptist Church (FAITH) and their "movie in the park" summer series activity, and is co-sponsored by Compton Parks & Recreation, and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. A movie event is sponsored once a month during the summer, and alternates between local parks. This writer is a member of FAITH, and has attended other movie in the park events and can testify that it is one of the great summer activities for the entire family. And of course many participants show up for the free hot dogs, popcorn, and drinks.
Faith Inspirational Church has a mission that includes "taking back the City of Compton" through its various ministries and activities that are designed to Save Souls and Change Lives and is one of the fastest growing churches in the area. Working closely with the youth population (including partnering with local schools) has been one of Faith's priorities.
Faith is led by its awesome motivator Rev. Rafer Owens, Pastor and first lady Minister Natalie Owens. However Pastor Owens would tell you that many of the other church leaders are the reason that Faith has been so successful. The Church believes that using its membership to provide much needed resources (financial and human capital) to the local community is what will make a significant and positive change in people's lives.
The movie in the park was a success. Families came early to set-up their chairs & blankets on the grass area to view the movie on a large screen. While waiting for darkness to set in many played basketball on a nearby court, others played catch with a football, kids gathered in the playground area, while others just sat and fellowship. And also the FAITH Church Choir comes out to each event to bless the audience with great music & singing. What a great time it was! Much thanks to the many volunteers, sponsors, and supporters.

Is there a correct way to reboot a server to avoid FSCK and just avoid getting FSCK in general? I have been using the reboot command to reboot servers.
To avoid this problem, use the
An example:
So long as the system shuts down cleanly, it will not normally attempt to
The fsck after reboot happens for one of three reasons: when a system shuts down uncleanly (like a crash), when a filesystem hasn't been checked for N mounts, or when a filesystem hasn't been checked in M days. For an ext2/3/4 filesystem you can see the current counters and set the value of N and M with the
First fsck is your friend! If you have crashed a system, you WANT it to run automagically and this action should never be disabled in this case.
Now, during the course of normal reboots where everything gets sync'd fine, the periodic invokation of fsck can be annoying and not very timely. Generally, what I do in this case is to inhibit this type of periodic fsck invokation, using tune2fs (as the root user):
This operation can be performed at any time during the systems operation, even with the disk being mounted.
After you do this you can then reboot the server and avoid the fsck operation (unless the server has crashed).

I want to create an array with
dtype=np.object, where each element is an array with a numerical type, e.g int or float. For example:
>>> a = np.array([1,2,3])
>>> b = np.empty(3,dtype=np.object)
>>> b[0] = a
>>> b[1] = a
>>> b[2] = a
Creates what I want:
>>> print b.dtype
>>> print b.shape
>>> print b[0].dtype
but I am wondering whether there isn't a way to write lines 3 to 6 in one line (especially since I might want to concatenate 100 arrays). I tried
>>> b = np.array([a,a,a],dtype=np.object)
but this actually converts all the elements to np.object:
>>> print b.dtype
>>> print b.shape
>>> print b[0].dtype
Does anyone have any ideas how to avoid this?

At formal 'wedding-style' buffets, guests get called up table-by-table; you should go to get your food promptly when requested, as guests who are slow off the mark can hold up the conveyor belt.
At parties with a buffet, timing is less crucial, but it is a help to the hosts (and caterers) to keep an eye on the rest of the room and eat with the majority rather than holding up the clearing of the main courses and the serving of pudding.
Move along the buffet at a reasonable speed to maintain the flow, and be polite and accommodating to waiting staff who may be on hand to serve. Be aware of people behind you and offer to help where necessary, either by handing them a plate, knife and fork or napkin, or by serving them where practical. Take plenty, but avoid overloading your plate or finishing dishes that look like they may not get replenished. Usually there will be the opportunity for second helpings, but multiple visits to the buffet table may look greedy.

Despite being one of the major pharma stocks in the world, J&J (NYSE:JNJ) is a very diversified company. For instance, the consumer segment accounts for a significant proportion of revenue and, as such, is a key component of future returns for the stock. Therefore, it seems logical to take a deep dive into the consumer segment to see how it fits into J&J's overall operations.
Sales growth
Consumer products accounted for just over 20% of J&J's total sales in 2013. Overall, the segment delivered mild growth during the year, with sales for the consumer segment being 1.7% higher in 2013 than they were in 2012. This marks a turnaround from 2012, when sales for the segment fell by 2.9% year-over-year. In 2013, three of the six franchises delivered year-on-year growth, compared to just one in 2012.
However, when the effect of currency headwinds is taken into account, the results look much better. That's because negative currency effects reduced sales growth by 1.1%, meaning the operational growth figure was 2.8%. Sales outside of the U.S. were relatively strong, with operational sales growth (i.e., excluding negative currency impacts) of 3.1%, while in the U.S. operational sales growth of 2.3% was reported.
Franchises and margins
In terms of franchise sales growth within the consumer segment, the over-the-counter franchise was the top performer and delivered sales growth of 7%, growth driven by analgesics and upper-respiratory products. Indeed, all franchises with the exception of oral care performed significantly better year on year from 2012 to 2013 than from 2011 to 2012, although oral care's growth was only marginally down and was affected by the divestiture of the manual toothbrush product line in the U.S.
Meanwhile, pre-tax margins showed improvement in 2013 and went some way to returning to their 2011 levels after falling in 2012. A key reason for the improvement was cost-containment initiatives, which the company is targeting more of in the future, as well as gains on the sale of intangible assets. As 2012 margin was impacted by write-downs, margin improvements in 2013 may not be as strong at first glance but still show that J&J is making progress in reducing its operating expenses.
The competition
With regard to competition, sector peer Merck (NYSE:MRK) also has a consumer segment, although it is much smaller than that of J&J and accounted for 4.3% of Merck's total sales in 2013. Unlike J&J, Merck reported a decline in sales for its consumer segment in 2013, with the top line falling by 3% compared to 2012 figures (including a negative currency impact of 1%). The main reason for this was the termination in China of certain consumer care distribution arrangements, as well as a reversal of sales that had already been made to these distributors. Excluding these costs, Merck's consumer segment would have posted sales growth of 1% (including the negative currency effect), which is still below that of J&J.
There is also a significant amount of crossover between J&J's consumer segment and Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG), which is solely focused on consumer goods. It posted total sales growth of 1% in 2013, although as with J&J and Merck, there was a negative impact from foreign exchange, which reduced net sales growth by 2%. Were it not for this, Procter & Gamble would have recorded the highest sales growth of the three companies, being slightly ahead of J&J's 2.8% growth and well ahead of Merck's sales decline of 2% (figures exclude the negative impact of foreign exchange fluctuations).
The reason for Procter & Gamble's strong relative top-line increase was a mix of price and volume growth, with baby care and family care franchises showing strong volume growth in particular and health care also making improvements on the prior year.
Looking ahead
Although top-line growth at J&J was slightly below that of Procter & Gamble, 2.8% (excluding currency impact) is still relatively strong. Certainly, Merck's 2% decline (excluding currency impact) was significantly affected by one-off items, but it still shows that J&J's consumer segment is holding its own among peers.
Indeed, the consumer segment is an important part of J&J and, I feel, is often overlooked by some investors. That's because it doesn't provide the highs of the pharma segment, in terms of creating blockbuster drugs that can make a huge difference to an already vast top line. In other words, it isn't as exciting as the pharma segment. However, while it doesn't come with the highs, it also doesn't deliver the lows of patent expiry and instead provides stability, modest growth, and a reliable, repeat income for J&J.
As such, while the consumer segment may not be prove to be a super-hot catalyst for J&J in 2014, it plays a key role in diversifying the company's operations and in generating top- and bottom-line growth for the business. In the long run, this should be valued by investors and, I believe, will mean a strong showing from J&J's share price over the long run, too.

February rise in import prices largest since 1990
March 16, 2000
The U.S. Import Price Index rose 1.9 percent in February. The increase—the largest since October 1990—was primarily led by higher prices for imported petroleum products.
[Chart data—TXT]
Prices for petroleum imports surged 13.9 percent in February, the largest monthly jump in this component since last April. Non-petroleum import prices rose 0.3 percent in February.
Overall, import prices have risen 9.0 percent for the year ended February. The petroleum index has increased for twelve consecutive months and has advanced 168.4 percent over the past year. In contrast, the non-petroleum index increased 0.1 percent during the February 1999-2000 period.
These data are a product of the BLS International Price program. Learn more in "U.S. Import and Export Price Indexes - February 2000," news release USDL 00-76. Note: import price data are subject to revision in each of the three months after original publication.

Low-end Android-running Alcatel OT-980 announced, available in the UK in October for £99
More and more low-end Android phones are being released each day. If just a few months ago you were hard pressed to find any Android device retail for under £250, now you just can't say you're out of options. And sure, they may all be similar in specs, but that's to be expected if very low prices are to be reached.
Today's entry into this space is Alcatel's OT-980, a phone that has been rumored and pictured for about 7 months now. And after this amazingly long time, Alcatel decided to finally officially announce it.
The key feature to differentiate the OT-980 from its competition is undoubtedly the vertical slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a design reminiscent of the Palm Pre. The OT-980's screen is 2.8″, pretty much standard for this price level. There's also WiFi, HSPA, a 2 MP camera, a compass.
Running the show is sadly Android 2.1. I wish Google would simply not let companies launch new Android smartphones with versions of the operating system that are not the newest. But hey, at least it isn't Android 1.6.
Perhaps the most interesting bit about this phone is its price. It will be available in October in the UK at Carphone Warehouse for £99.95 on pay as you go.
Which makes it excellent value for the money, especially for someone addicted to texting/emailing/social networking on the go who'd also like a taste of a smartphone OS.

University of Connecticut (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
The investments would represent one of the most ambitious programs launched at a public research university in recent years, and include the establishment of the first honors program nationwide specifically for high-achieving STEM students. The benefits would be felt throughout the state and region in the form of new jobs, research innovations, and companies.
Some specifics of the plan include:
- Increasing total enrollment by 6,580 (30 percent). Of those, almost 3,300 would be STEM students, including 70 percent more engineering students. About 5,000 of the students would be enrolled at the Storrs campus, and about 1,500 would attend UConn in Stamford.
- Revolutionizing STEM infrastructure at the Storrs campus by building facilities to house materials science, physics, biology, engineering, cognitive science, genomics studies, labs, and related disciplines. Aging infrastructure would also be updated to accommodate new faculty and students.
- Creating the nation's premier STEM honors program, including a residential living community in which those students can share their experiences, innovative ideas, and camaraderie beyond the classrooms and labs in which they will study.
- Relocating the Greater Hartford campus to downtown Hartford, and increasing digital media and risk management degrees at UConn-Stamford, where student housing would also be built.
- Hiring 259 new faculty members in addition to the 290 already in the current faculty hiring plan. Of the 259 additional new faculty hires, 200 would be dedicated specifically to STEM programs. This would be on top of the 175 STEM-specific faculty members already being hired under the previously announced faculty hiring plan.
If approved by the legislature, this bold initiative will transform the university over the next decade. Not surprisingly, some legislators are skeptical about the scale and ambition of the investment.
Senate Minority Leader Leonard Fasano, a North Haven Republican, said: "I think the concept is good, but we have to look at the money. ... I understand we have to enhance these programs, but that's just a lot of money when businesses are struggling."
"Everything has to be examined before we go further on this," Fasano said.
Sen. Toni Boucher, the ranking Republican member on the legislature's higher education committee, said Malloy's proposal includes "good projects and certainly the kind of initiative to move the university even further ahead," but she questioned "the financial viability of doing this now ... I am strongly torn on this issue." (source)
Caution is reasonable, but I hope caution does not lead to a missed opportunity.
"Quite frankly this investment should have been made 10 years ago," Malloy said. "If it were made 20 years ago, our economy would be stronger today." (source)

submitting spam to the razor database
vanillicat <vanilli <at> nycap.rr.com>
Hello, For background, I recently started using spamassassin with the razor plugin, and as my question is regarding the razor database, I'm addressing my query to this list. Text files saved with my current MUA contain only body information, but not headers. Is spam submitted like this considered a valid submission? If it's not, I can use a different MUA that will include headers for the purposes of submission, the slight inconvenience being worth it, I believe. I wanted to be sure that any future submissions are useful. vanillicat _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm

Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson brought his campaign for lieutenant governor to the Wichita Falls Country Club today Wed., Feb. 12 and made an impressive speech in front of an enthusiastic crowd. The author of the concealed handgun law in Texas made a strong case as to why people should vote for him in the upcoming Republican primary in only three weeks.
When people ask him why they should vote for him he said that he will always shoot straight with them. While many politicians will go to different venues and tell that particular group what they want to hear just to win votes, he pledged that he would never do that. He said his story is not going to change from month to month or location to location.
With the Republican primary coming up on March 4 and the run-off slated for May 27 he said people are going to hear a lot "of politicking in the near future." He then said just remember "the word politics comes from the Latin word 'poli' which means 'many' and the word 'ticks' which means bloodsuckers." His joke received a loud round of laughs.
Born in 1946, he has built an impressive resume' and graduated from Texas A&M in 1969. He was commissioned in the United States Marine Cops in 1969 and is a Vietnam veteran as well as being a Naval Flight Officer. Elected to the Texas Senate in 1992, he served two six-year terms as State Senator from District 11, which is Houston.
He recalled running for the Texas Senate in 1992 before Republicans were the majority party in Texas in a district covering southeast Harris County which included Deer Park, LaPorte, Galveston and into Brazoria County.
"My platform was to limit politicians terms and not criminals terms. I'd campaign at the petrochemical plant. I was going to pass a law to let them carry guns. Which I did in 1995. I'd tell them I was a Second Amendment guy. You remember the liberals said there was going to be blood in the streets and of course there wasn't."
"The critics of the bill said there going to be shootouts at every four-way stop and it was going to mean the end of civilation as we know it. What happened was homicides by firearms have decreased by 42% since the passage of the law. The message is government always underestimates the ability of citizens like you and I to make good decisions. The most important part of the Constitution is the First and Second Amendments. The right of religious freedoms and the right to carry arms," he said.
He said he was endorsed by Ron Paul, Dick Armey and had a great rating by the NRA.
"If you go to my website VotePatterson.com you'll see my discussion of the water issue. I know water is in short supply in Wichita Falls. The current law makes it very difficult to do interbasin transfer of water. That needs to be changed."
He discussed several solutions to the water shortage situation.
Patterson also said, "One of my first trips to Wichita Falls was to help a friend of mine Tom Haywood who was running for the Senate. He was not expected to win. He drove around from courthouse to courthouse and coffee shop to coffee shop. He had that self-deprecating sense of humor. Later on he was slow-talking Tom. He said 'You know I don't wanna' vote for this, but I can talk for a long time,' threatening a fillibuster you know. He was a great guy." Wichita Falls is very proud of Tom Haywood and service to the people of his district. Haywood was elected to several terms as state senator andrepresented the people of the North Texas area.
Denise Haywood, daughter of the late Sen. Tom Haywood, was present at the event tonight. She shares her father's interest in the future of Texas and Texans.
Reno Gustafson, president of Falls Distributing, hosted and organized the event for Patterson. He said he believed Patterson did a great job at the reception of presenting his thoughts, beliefs, and ideas to those present this evening.
Patterson was elected Texas Land Commissioner in 2002 and has served three terms (12 years) in that position. He has strengthened the Permanent School Fund by $22 billion during his tenure in the Land Office. Patterson believes education is vital to the growth of the next generation of Texans. A strong military man, he has increased veterans benefits without taxpayer subsidy during his time in the General Land Office.
He has many accomplishments during his time in the Senate where he passed the home equity constitutional amendment, created a Texas State Veterans Home Program, passed a law creating DPS Fugitive Apprehension Unit and served as chairman of the first Senate Veterans Affairs Committee.
The father of four and grandfather of two, he is part of a family which has seen five generations serve in wartime military service.

Molly Kay Stoltz has a knack for creating beautiful items from old t-shirts. From all her work creating eco-friendly scarves from t-shirts, Molly has tons of t-shirts scraps around her apartment. Of course, she couldn't let them go to waste.
Molly upcycled all those t-shirt snippets into a colorful shag rug. Since it's made from well-loved t-shirts, you know know it's got to feel like heaven under your feet! Molly says this rug is easy enough to make that even kids can learn how to thread one. Sounds like a fun summer project to me!

Nice, the control looks a little tough, but a nice job nonetheless. how hard was that to port?
Well it was about a two day learning curve. I have everything down now though and can probably knock out another one in a couple hours. It's the PSX version so it handles just like that version.

Hello all,
I've been a guitar player for years (now just a sideline), and when I was learning I remember always following a "routine" when practicing. I would tune up, stretch my hands in with a few warm ups, build into some stronger exercises, and finish with some "fun-stuff". (I miss those days....sigh).
Anyway, I feel myself wanting to develop a similar routine when visiting the range, and I'm wondering what type of routines the experienced shooters find themselves doing. IOW, walk me through a "typical" 100 rounds on any given day. I imagine it's more than "plunk, plunk, plunk".
Thanks - looking forward to the responses.

Great fighter & probably the most powerful of the midleweights; just don't

great Sugar Ray Robinson; too strong & lanky &, well, just too large even
though a middleweight. Size matters when there's skill too.

@loyaldude10 he truly was a natural fighting machine.
Author loyaldude10 ( ago)
@judaschongo ---never knew those facts. truly amazing. Prob was the

Monzon personally was an absolute brute of a guy though. Will never win any

several years ago. Would love to address his wife and family on this if
anyone can provide me an address...thank you...blessings...john t. coiley
Author Todd Greanier ( ago)
He did not smoke 5 packs a day, he did not smoke at all during training and
he did a lot more than spar in training. Incredible fighter, but let's not
add crap to his legend.

Que guapeza!

you kidding, rigth? yes Monzon was slow,but He dominate the distance better
than nobody and his constant 1-2 is a demolition work,I don't think Jones
survive Monzon...
Author Piglatinsuperstar ( ago)
MrLectoure it is an honor to speak with you Now, my spanish isn't very good
so I don't really know what you said I read off ESB that Monzon used to
smoke during the time he prepared for a fight but being that most of what I
read from those forums is a bunch of crap anyhow, it probably isnt true
Author Piglatinsuperstar ( ago)
No, Roy Jones does not pity pat. Ive seen Roy drop several men with body
shots delivered from either hand. I've even seen him knock out men, gasping
in pain from the body shot. I've seen him destroy many men with pin point
accurate combinations. Trust me, Monzon has no chance here either
Author Piglatinsuperstar ( ago)
No I dont think Carlos would struggle with Duran. Hearns with the
dimensions of Monzon blew him away. Now, had Thomas hearns fucked Hagler up
in that fight, I would go along and jump on the Monzon bandwagon but seeing
as how Marvin is capable of launching an attack that I've never seen anyone
else do, I'm going to pick Hagler. Anyone that is capable of fighting with
this level of intensity has to be favored no matter who the opponent.
Monzon I dont know how he's scoring on a southpaw
Author judaschongo ( ago)
Hagler or Jones? 2 contrastingly different styles. Hagler wasn't known for
his great speed; where as Jones was. Once again Hagler struggled vs a
lightweight in Duran; now do you honestly believe Monzon would of struggled
against any lightweight in history? Absolutely Not! As for Jones? fast
hands alot of it was pitter/patter and with a sub-par chin; eventually in a
15 or even 12 rd. fight. He could run but he can't hide.
Author Piglatinsuperstar ( ago)
well if he had someone like hagler or Jones around I can guarantee he
wouldnt be smoking and still win those fight becuz this guy is slow as
molasses. sorry but it's so obvious!
Author juanpolar ( ago)
tony toke the beat of his life and toke it stod up ... a great oponent
Author judaschongo ( ago)
great point on the inside fighting observation! I've always thought the
same thing; considering his arms were long he'd really let them go in the
short distance.
Author Gobbojuve ( ago)
ma stai zitto coglione!
Author judaschongo ( ago)
Monzon is often called the "greatest natural fighter"; smoked 5 packs a
day, would cut down to 2 packs when training, would seldom run, 90% of his
training just involved sparring. Just a natural born fighter. Greatest
middleweight ever.

How the U.S. Can Fight China's Cheap Currency
As dedicated readers of Marketbeat know, we're skeptical that the U.S.'s latest tussle with China over currency matters will amount to anything more than a war of words. With November's election looming, you've just gotta question the motives of U.S. politicians. But just in case, here's an idea of what disgruntled U.S. politicos could do to punish China for (allegedly) subsidizing its exporters by refusing to let its currency, the yuan, rise with market forces.
Option 1: Saber-rattling. This is what U.S. lawmakers like New York Democrat Charles Schumer and House Ways and Means Committee chairman Sander Levin are already doing. There probably isn't enough time left in the legislative calendar to pass an actual bill punishing China (we'll get to that), but lawmakers can keep going through the motions, most importantly, by complaining. All this Kabuki theatre – we got a great performance Thursday when Treasury chief Tim Geithner talked to Congress — puts pressure on China to allow its yuan to appreciate.
Option 2: Call China names. Geithner could also call China a "currency manipulator" in the Treasury's next foreign-exchange report, which is due in October. That ratchets up the war of words and makes China look bad. The problem: Geithner and Co. don't seem to want to go that far, even if Congress does. Last time around, the financial media started foaming at the mouth for the manipulation language, only to be disappointed. Calling China names also doesn't do that much.
Option 3: Actual legislation. Roughly 100 House lawmakers have already written to their head honchos requesting a vote on a bill that would allow the U.S. to impose import tariffs and other penalties on countries that undervalue their currency. The downside: This could start a trade war with China. Geithner on Thursday pushed back against Congress, saying overly harsh measures against China would backfire on the U.S.
Option 4: Launch a case with the World Trade Organization. This would really irk China. But here's the problem: China's roaring economy is fueling the global recovery. And with the recovery still a work in progress, we really don't need international trade – a key pillar of everyone's well-being – to suddenly freeze up. We've seen this movie before.
Option 5: A new global accord on currencies. This sounds way too ambitious for now. We've just experienced the worst economic and financial crisis since the Great Depression, yet global policy makers still haven't made a dent in fixing the economic imbalances – China and Germany exporting too much and the U.S. borrowing and buying too much – that turned a meltdown in the subprime-mortgage market into a global recession. Policy makers have more than enough to chew on.
In all likelihood, the U.S. and China will continue dancing nervously the way they have, making progress in small baby steps. China did say in June that it would allow greater flexibility going forward, and the yuan has risen 2% against the dollar. With so much at stake in the global economy, that may be as good as it gets.

For some reason I am having trouble parsing this bit from Guillemin & Pollack Chapter 2.4:
Let $X, Z$ be transversal closed submanifolds in $Y$ (everything is without boundary). Further, let $X$ be compact. Then, $X \cap Z$ is compact and zero-dimensional. I want to show its finite.
Normally, such proofs should go like if it was infinite then some subsequence satisfying some property would have a limit point, which would be contained in the set and would violate something or the other.
Thanks for the help.

THEATER REVIEW; Martyr's Requiem Invokes Justice
By BEN BRANTLEY
Published: December 18, 1998
The tree is a sermon in itself. A big, sturdy oak with serpentine limbs, it's the first thing the audience sees in ''Parade,'' the solemn, high-reaching new musical directed by Harold Prince that opened last night at the Vivian Beaumont Theater at Lincoln Center.
The oak's branches glow, in sinister abstraction, through a scrim before a single note is sung, and it will be a dominant presence throughout the evening, casting a metaphoric shadow that is both premonitory and admonitory. A man, a good man, will be hanged from that tree before ''Parade'' is over. It is the image of a brutally unfair fate awaiting its victim, and we are never, ever allowed to forget what it signifies.
Not that we would have anyway. One thing ''Parade'' cannot be accused of is fuzziness of focus. Inspired by the story of Leo Frank, a Jewish man who was lynched in Marietta, Ga., in 1915 for the murder of a 13-year-old girl, this musical provides a painstakingly rendered chart of the wheels of injustice. And it never lets up in its insistence on the innocence, on several levels, of its protagonist and the moral blindness and corruption of his persecutors.
That the result is often more podium-thumping screed than compelling story is in itself a heartbreaker. ''Parade'' prompted raised eyebrows and arch jokes (have you heard the one about the dancing lynch mob?) long before it went into previews, and the involvement of Livent Inc., the financially ailing Canadian-based theatrical company, as one of its producers only added to the air of gallows humor.
Yet ''Parade'' also represented the possibility of answered prayers for anxious lovers of the American musical. The genre, after all, is represented this season in new productions on Broadway only by the flaccid ''Footloose'' and the revivals of ''Peter Pan'' and ''On the Town,'' and this is by no means an atypical season.
Here at last was a show of daring aspiration, shaped by a young composer of talent and invention, Jason Robert Brown, and a Pulitzer-Prize winning playwright, Alfred Uhry (''Driving Miss Daisy''). What's more, it was to be overseen by the director who had done more than any other to extend the boundaries of the Broadway musical and to confound expectations of what the form's proper subject matter is.
The rise of the Nazi party, a portrait of marital disharmony set in the gloom of a decrepit show palace, the rise of a politician and his ravenously ambitious wife in Argentina, a homicidal barber in Victorian London: Mr. Prince repeatedly turned ostensibly sour material into scintillating theater with his fabled productions of ''Cabaret'' (1966), ''Follies'' (1971), ''Evita'' (1978) and ''Sweeney Todd'' (1979).
As recently as 1993, he was still breathing hit-making musical life into unlikely themes with ''The Kiss of the Spider Woman,'' the Kander-Ebb show about South American political prisoners that joltingly juxtaposed cinematic fantasy sequences with scenes of barbaric torture. Given this context, is ''Parade'' really such a stretch, especially given the participation of its star, Brent Carver, who appeared to such resonant effect in ''Spider Woman''?
That Mr. Carver, through no fault of his own, is a far less compelling presence here says much about what has gone wrong with ''Parade.'' As the gay, escapist story spinner forced into political engagement in ''Spider Woman,'' this first-rate actor guided his audiences through the labyrinth of one man's very conflicted interior. The role of Leo Frank in ''Parade'' offers him no such opportunities.
The character, a Jewish scapegoat in a blood-lusting Southern society, is a martyr, pure and simple, a man whose worst crimes are emotional reserve and fastidiousness. Mr. Carver renders these traits, in both his singing and acting, with delicacy. But there's no getting beyond the impression that his Leo is as flat and iconic as a bleeding saint in a religious mural.
With the exception of Carolee Carmello, who gives a stirringly heartfelt performance as Leo's wife, Lucille, all of the actors in ''Parade'' appear claustrophobicly trapped in that mural. It is sometimes hard to distinguish them from the two-dimensional cutout figures used to fill out the crowd scenes in Riccardo Hernandez's visually arresting but oddly distancing set, in which only vistas of picturesque landscapes give off any warmth at all.
Correspondingly, Mr. Brown's songs, while artfully shading classic hymn and march forms with dark dissonance, also keep you at an intellectual remove. He has a tendency to use martial drumbeats and knell-like chords to underscore his melody lines, and the devices give the effect of someone continually whispering in your ear: ''Look at what these people are doing to a blameless man. Just look.''
Several people involved with the creation of ''Parade,'' which has been incubating for six years, have said that its real center is the love story of the Franks, partners in a sterile arranged marriage who finally fall in love during Leo's trial and imprisonment. Yet in the performance, the balance of the show is elsewhere.

This reflection is taken from my book, Pro-Life Reflections for Every Day, which is available for purchase at: ProLifeReflectionsForEveryDay.org
"I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life …" (Deuteronomy 30:19).
Reflection: The early First Century document called the "Teaching of the Twelve Apostles" begins by saying, "There are two ways, one of life and the other of death, and great is the difference between the two." It states, "Do not murder a child by abortion or kill a newborn infant." Throughout the centuries, this teaching has been consistent.
Prayer: Lord, you have revealed the road of happiness to us and to our world. Keep us, in our laws and in our culture, on the path of life. Amen.
