I'd really like animated pages...sort of like how the iPad reads books. Also the ability to read my digital comics .cbf files would be great. More magazines. And one thing...watching all the video reviews of the Nook Color on CNET or ENGADGET I noticed their NCs had different "cooler" wallpapers. More wallpapers would be nice.

I may have already posted this in this thread.....but it's too long to read all the way through to check.
What I'd like to see is the unit's MAC address shown during the initial startup or whenever you "look" for local WiFi hotspots. A number of places (such as my home WiFi) filter based on MAC address and not knowing (especially during the initial startup where you MUST log onto a WiFi hot spot before you can use the NC) it means having to modify the WiFi router to remove that filter in order to allow the system to attach.
Once the NC is started (and once it's registered...at all times) then you can get the MAC address from the information page. But that information is not available during initial startup and should be.

Perhaps it's been posted already but would like the ability to connect via Wi-Fi without the SSID being broadcasted. The Nook does not have this issue but it seems the Nookcolor does, unable to connect to my Wi-Fi unless it's broadcasting the SSID.

Please, Please ebooks in landscape:
In my life (pro poker player) there are tons of situations where reading in portrait mode is awkward or not possible. Love the Color (I needed books, music, and web browsing). Landscape books would make my day.

I also agree with user "RS Brown"'s suggestion made on the NOOK Newsstand board:
"BN needs to consider adding capabilities in the software that will allow users to 'tag' or 'rip out' favorite pictures, articles or recipes from magazines, in a similar way than is done with highlighting or bookmarking in books. Users should be able to store these 'favorites' in the documents folder on the device."

-When you pinch-and-zoom a magazine page, and then pan over to the edge, the page turns, and you have to start all over. I'd like to see the system recognize the difference between panning and swiping.
I'd really like to see "Notes" separated from "Highlights" in the contents menu, and I'd like to see that contents page display what I wrote in the note thumbnail, rather than the passage I attached the note to.
Persistent back button -- yes!
Ability to zoom in on newspaper pictures
Comic books!
Word processor
The ability to look up a phrase in the B&N store, alongside looking it up in Google and Wikipedia
B&N might not have much to do with this, but I'd love to see apps like Instapaper, Evernote, and Overdrive. I'd also like to see LendMe and the social stuff linked into something like Goodreads or Copia
83. Re: What users want in the NOOKcolor 1.1 updatecssathya Nov 30, 2010 4:52 PM (in response to nicov)
Before I start my wishlist for 1.x, I want to give my perspective on the Nook Color buyer. There are a number of competing tablets out there (or soon to arrive). If people preferred NC compared to iPad or a Kindle, it is primarily because they want a more open device (expandable memory, easy connectivity to computer) with better support for other file formats (PDF, ePUB). These were my main draws at least to NC, but over the last week, I've become somewhat disillusioned because the support seems half-hearted, which leads to my wishlist.
- Better PDF support - annotation, bookmarks, reflow, pinch to zoom, margin reduction. These are needed at a minimum to enhance what a lot of users are using NC for - to read PDF files, especially technical books/documents
- No distinction between 'sideloaded' content and 'downloaded' content. Why should the device care where the content came from? It should treat both equally - be it displaying them in the shelves or organizing them. The biggest draw for NC compared to Kindle is the 'sideloading' feature - why kill it by adding restrictions?
- 'Notepad' and 'Calendar' apps at a minimum. When reading documents, its quite common to get some ideas and it would be great to jot them down on the NC itself, especially when it has such a nice virtual keyboard.
- Related to the previous issue, 'copy/paste' support from ePUB and PDF files to the Notepad. This will be very useful especially when reading technical documents if I want to just extract some portions for future use (like code snippets). Along the same line of thought, a way to export the notes to the computer when connected.
- Ability to add support for other file formats (like DJVU, PDB, CBR, CBZ, CHM preferably) either as part of NC itself or at least by means of other apps. Again, why limit users from getting the maximium out of the device - a la iPad style? Why not let users use the device the best they see fit? B&N can still make a lot of money with their store, children's books, magazines, etc. Making the device open will increase loyalty to the device.
- Brightness support within non ePUB readers (PDF, Word, etc.)
- Landscape and pinch-to-zoom options for the ePUB reader. While it's great that CBR/CBZ files can be converted to ePUB and read on NC, the form factor makes it a bit hard and having the ability to pinch/zoom or landscape will help alleviate the issue.
I strongly feel that making these fixes will make the NC experience all the more enjoyable.

I love my NOOKcolor! I am still learning what it can do. I do wish it had a calendar and it would be nice if we could download some other games. Sometimes I don't want to think that much when I am playing.
85. Re: What users want in the NOOKcolor 1.1 updatePingOfDeath Nov 30, 2010 7:35 PM (in response to KeWaDaHa)
If you are going to add in a calendar, it should be able to have reminders so that you can mark the date that the book you are looking for is coming out!
86. Re: What users want in the NOOKcolor 1.1 updateracsw Nov 30, 2010 7:58 PM (in response to g0tr00t)
1. Keep the Nook an Ereader, don't try to turn it into an IPad that is basically a thin computer. It gets too expensive for those of us who like the idea of having all your books available in one handy little pad for a reasonable price. I have a laptop, a netbook and two other computers if I want to deal with email and all the things associated with having and using a computer. Keep the intent focused.
2. Bring back the AT&T option. That's really nice if you aren't in an area with WiFi, like many of us who do not live in a heavily populated metro area.
3. Obviously, the back lit screen is going to suck the battery power more than the other, on this one, maybe 6 hours tops. It should have a dimming feature to not only allow comfortable reading at night, but in a small way to conserve the battery.
4. With a lot of applications, WiFi and whatever else is running in the background, you should have an "efficiency mode", which basically turns off everything that is not needed to read your books (its primary function), including dimming the screen a little. This would be to help extend battery life.
5. To read a book, you don't need color. I'm not sure it would help, but having a B&W mode for reading may extend the battery life.
6. I realize it's got a nice web interface, but there should be a button that accesses "My B&N" on the net, so you can make changes to your account if necessary.
7. With the color out now, I am not sure if B&N intends to dump the regular Nook. I hope not, but if they keep it, at least for awile, could you download the web interface software into the original Nook? Right now it's got a "Beta" stamp on it and it doesn't work all that well.
Do you folks update at some regular intervals, like every 3 months? When is 1.1 slated for release?
87. Re: What users want in the NOOKcolor 1.1 updatedesmo Nov 30, 2010 9:35 PM (in response to g0tr00t)
For us who have multiple nook colors in one family and share the same account, each of us would like to add our own social accounts. If I put my info in, it also changes my daughters Nook. When she puts in her facebook account, it changes my FB settings on my Nook. It really becomes a pain.
So each nook should be able to have it's own settings without syncing.
88. Re: What users want in the NOOKcolor 1.1 updateFrankenB34ns Dec 1, 2010 6:08 AM (in response to g0tr00t)
It's been a week since I purchased my NC and I love it so far. However there are a few things like to see in the next update(s).
1. PDF bookmarking ( It's really a pain to keep start from the begining of a PDF every time you close it.)
2. To be able to change the battery indicator from icon to a percentage.
3. Pandora to remember you login info.
4. To be able to place sideload content on the homepage.
5. App store
89. Re: What users want in the don't 1.1 updatejeljab Dec 1, 2010 6:58 AM (in response to g0tr00t)
I would like to see the chapters to the top of each page. It's usually on the first page, but when I start reading I something get lost and don't know where I am in the text book. The bible is the same thing... Maybe it's there and I don't know how to use it?

FOSS on the front lines of business
Doghouse – Working Smarter
Start-ups, resource-poor enterprises, and nimble organizations turn to Free and Open Source Software to help solve their business problems.
A universal truth operates in countries around the world: Small and medium-sized businesses generate between 80 and 90 percent of the private sector industrial wealth (i.e., non-government, non-military, non-agricultural). Although large companies that manufacture such things as cars or provide such services as telephone communications employ lots of people, the greatest number of people employed and the greatest amount of products produced and services provided come from companies employing one to 500 people.
Many of these companies last only a few years before going bankrupt, merging, or being bought, but during their existence, they generate jobs, develop products, and inspire others. They are the core of business enterprise. Using an example from the automotive industry, these companies manufacture many of the parts that go into the creation of the cars – and a generous set of replacement parts for the aftermarket.

Life Lessons Learned Over Coffee
November 15th, 2011
I don't always know where my life lessons or inspirations are going to come from. Sometimes they come from an article or a good book. Other times they occur while I'm at work or on vacation, when my thoughts seem to focus on the complexities of life. This time my inspiration came from a friend as we were heading to our children's school for a special event. We were chatting about this and that (as we often do), when she said something that really struck a chord in me. In my friend's authentic, heartfelt way, she said, "I really want everyone to get what they want."

But I'm Not Ready For The Two of You to Divorce Yet!
November 15th, 2011
My son recently came back after spending the day with one of his closest friends. He had this look in his eyes that said, "I have something interesting to say."
"Hey, Mom, do you know why my friend has two homes in the city?" he asked with genuine curiosity.
So I came up with one plausible theory, "Maybe one apartment belongs to his grandparents and now the family bought this new apartment for themselves?"
My son always seems to be interested in life's stories, so the conversation up until this point wasn't so unusual.
Then he made this great reveal, "No, that's not it! I know why. It's because his parents are separating. They're no longer living together!"

To Spank or Not to Spank, That Is the Question!
November 15th, 2011
In the middle of a popular New York City toy store stood a very tearful little boy. He looked no more than 5 years old as he increased his tearful pleas. The young dad bent down and unsuccessfully tried to reason with his increasingly disgruntled son, who at this point turned up his already loud screams as he threatened his father to buy this very expensive toy for him.
The young son (let's call him Sam) screamed, "If you don't get me this toy, then I'm not going to talk to you, and I'm not going to sleep in your bed anymore!"

Posted Jun 8 2011 11:50AM
DALLAS -- The scores may be low, but the 2011 NBA Finals couldn't be any more thrilling. Game 4 on Tuesday was the third straight game that came down to the final shot, thanks to a Dallas comeback in the fourth quarter. Now, we have a 2-2 series with a crucial Game 5 on Thursday night.
In each of the last three games, the Mavs have come back from at least seven points down in the fourth quarter. And in each of their last four wins (including Games 4 and 5 vs. Oklahoma City), they've come back from at least eight points down in the fourth.
Dirk Nowitzki ranked fourth in fourth-quarter scoring in the regular season (7.1 points per game), behind Amar'e Stoudemire, Dwyane Wade and Kevin Durant. But he's No. 1 in the postseason (10.0 per game) and has been off the charts in The Finals.
Nowitzki's 44 fourth-quarter points in this series are more than Wade (30) and LeBron James (nine) have scored combined. Nowitzki is shooting 12-for-24 from the field, 2-for-4 from 3-point range and 18-for-18 from the free throw line in his 48 fourth-quarter minutes. No other player has attempted more than eight fourth-quarter free throws in the series.
|Highest-scoring fourth quarters
|In the 2011 NBA Finals
In fact, no player in the series has had a bigger fourth quarter than Nowitzki has had in any of the four games.
Nowitzki is now 7-for-11 from the field in "clutch" time in these Finals. He's the only Mavs player who has hit a shot from the field in clutch time, and has almost as many clutch points (22) as everyone else in the series combined (23).
|Clutch time scoring/shooting
|In the 2011 NBA Finals
|Clutch time = Last five minutes of the fourth quarter or overtime, with a point differential of five points or less
Of course, if a team is winning close games with only one player making shots, some defense is being played. That end of the floor has been just as important for the Mavs.
In their two wins, the Mavs have held the Heat to just 32 total points on 43 possessions in the fourth quarter. For the series overall, Miami is scoring 108 points per 100 possessions in the first three quarters and 96 per 100 in the fourth.
In Game 4, it was not only bad shooting (5-for-15), but also turnovers (six) that hurt the Heat in the fourth quarter.
As seen in the table above, LeBron James is 0-for-5 in clutch time in The Finals, with four of the five shots coming from 3-point range. In the previous two series (vs. Boston and Chicago), James was 13-for-22 from the field and 5-for-8 from 3-point range in clutch time.
James was relatively non-existent offensively throughout Game 4, scoring just eight points on 3-for-11 shooting. It was the first time in 434 games that he's scored in single digits.
Interestingly, before Tuesday, the Heat were 14-1 (including 4-0 in the postseason) when James took fewer than 15 shots. But he averaged 9.4 free-throw attempts in those 15 games. He attempted just four free throws and just four shots from within five feet of the basket in Game 4. James was 2-for-4 from within five feet on Tuesday, and 1-for-7 from five feet and beyond.
Rick Carlisle went to a new starting lineup in Game 4. The unit of Jason Kidd, J.J. Barea, Shawn Marion, Dirk Nowitzki and Tyson Chandler hadn't started a game all season, and had played just 43 minutes before Tuesday. It was the team's 27th most-used lineup, and had been outscored 85-73 in those 43 minutes.
But that unit had played together in each of the first three games of the series and had outscored the Heat 15-4 in six minutes in the third period of Game 3. In Game 4, the Mavs' new starting unit was even (8-8) in 5:43 in the first quarter, and outscored the Heat 14-13 in 6:11 in the third.
Even though he didn't start, DeShawn Stevenson played his more minutes (25:38) than he had in all but one other game, and had his highest scoring total (11 points) of the postseason. The lineup of Kidd, Jason Terry, Stevenson, Nowitzki and Chandler was a plus-12 in 13 minutes together, despite shooting just 6-for-22. That lineup oustscored the Heat 19-7, holding Miami to 2-for-12 shooting.
• The Mavs are now 10-1 in the postseason and 52-15 overall when Terry shoots at least 40 percent. He was 6-for-15 (exactly 40 percent) in Game 4.
• Mario Chalmers is 7-for-13 from 3-point range in the Heat's two wins in the series, and 1-for-9 in their two losses.
• The Heat's two 3-pointers in Game 4 were tied for the fewest they've hit all season. They made three or fewer 12 times in the regular season, and have already done it six times in the postseason. Overall, they're 10-8 when they connect on three or fewer threes.

Skip to comments.House conservatives call for stripping aid to Libya, Egypt from spending bill
Posted on 09/12/2012 12:16:32 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY
A group of House conservatives is calling for foreign aid to Libya and Egypt to be stripped from a six-month federal funding bill set for a vote on Thursday.
A handful of lawmakers voiced outrage Wednesday at the Obama administrations response to the attacks on the U.S. embassies in those countries and suggested the inclusion of foreign aid could influence their votes.
It makes it easier to vote no on the spending bill, freshman Rep. Jeff Landry (R-La.) said at a press event with conservative House Republicans at the Capitol.
The House on Thursday plans to vote on a continuing resolution that would extend federal funding through March, preventing a government shutdown before the election or during a lame duck session of Congress this fall. While conservatives pushed to avoid a shutdown fight, they have also raised alarms about the inclusion of additional welfare funding in the bill.
(Excerpt) Read more at thehill.com ...
DO IT!!! The U.S. taxpayers should not be forced to fund Islamoterrorism!
They don't have a testicle between all of them.
They have supported Obama through Boehner over and over.
Congress: Find your courage, assuming you have any left after being p-whipped by Valerie Jarrett (the puppetmaster behind Obummer) and just DO it!
Only a handful???
We HAVE to cycle the lot in DC ASAP!
"...DO IT!!! The U.S. taxpayers should not be forced to fund Islamoterrorism!..."
Won't change until Obama is booted out and we have a real AMERICAN president in the Oval Office.
As if they have any say. Hussein will do an EO or slip millions under the table to them. Not to say that he's not already doing that.
Here is the kicker...
While conservatives pushed to avoid a shutdown fight, they have also raised alarms about the inclusion of additional welfare funding in the bill.
Update: US Ambassador to Libya, Foreign Service officer, two Marines dead
From Michelle Malkin
...Lets cut through the diplomatic blather and Obama State Departments p.c. charade. This isnt about ordinary Egyptian Muslims being offended by Koran-burning or some genuine outcry for religious tolerance or widespread anger over how Mohammed is being portrayed. Its about Egyptian imams and Muslim Brotherhood propagandists concocting any excuse for a violent anti-Western conflagration.
So, let's say you're right. Are you saying that's a reason for not doing so? Oh, it's OK to abdicate your responsibility because someone else will ignore it anyway. Thanks for the moral lesson.
I say de-fund them but a few, selected, real, allies.
If they ever get it back again, let them EARN it. We've played Santa Claus and policeman for the world long enough now. We've got our own house to get in order and we're not seeing a cent from any of them.
While we're at it, de-fund the UN as well.
You mean we shouldn't fund the efforts of those dedicated to our destruction? How intolerant.
I say kill the aid.
But I was wrong in my earlier post about Egypt violating the peace treaty by moving tanks into the sinai. Apparently they have been coordinating with Israel and are not in violation of it.
But... how will they then pay for the 20 protesters , the RPG's, and all those Guy Fawkes masks?
Why stop there? It's those Saudi's that have been behind a lot of this mess, as well!
Kill the aid unless the countries apologize and arrest the mobs who took part in the attacks.
(if your "friends" still ask you for $ when you're unemployed and they have a job are they really your friend?)
"A handful of lawmakers"... bleh. Lots of bluster and then boo-hoo, nothing can be done about the aid, it's a closed deal. Same old, same old in DC. Now shut up and send more tax money to aid in your own destruction.
"Wont change until Obama is booted out and we have a real AMERICAN president in the Oval Office."
But for now I guess Romney will have to do.
Freeze their assets too.
"...But for now I guess Romney will have to do..."
It should be clear now WHO AND WHAT Obama is. He is an internal enemy of America and that long-known fact is now being proven DAILY. Anyone but Obama -— and like him or not, Romney MUST DO. There is no choice for America.
Right on -—they talk the talk but my dead grandmother could walk the walk better than they can. Boehner is an idiot useful as tits on a bull.
This guy
Egyptian President Mursi
Who leads the Muslim Brotherhood that murdered this guy
and who just yesterday directed these guys
to attack our embassy in Cairo
is going to the White house to collect a billion dollar check from this guy
So that he can buy the latest German submarines
so that he can better attack this guy
Bibi Netanyahu, our friend and allie, who is trying desperately to save his people from another round of this
while trying to talk to our President, all he gets is this
Does that about nail it?
Without knowledge of this, I emailed the best Congresscritter from my County to suggest the same thing.
I can't see how there should even be a question about this. If you are an American you should want this today!!!
DO IT!!!! Matter of fact, lets kick the ambassadors of Egypt and Libya out of the USA, and use the Egyptian embassy for a pork packing place and the Libyan for a Jewish MUSEUM.
Sounds like an idea to me...
Yup, that nails it. And pictures even a stupid libtard LSMer can understand.
Good job!
Romney did well.
I have a better idea give the city of Benghazi Libya the Carthage treatment .
Just for grins & giggles & then ask the leaders of the various Arab countries if the would like some of the same. No pussy footing around simple ROE if it ain't a friendly kill it , when finished not be able to find 2 complete intact bricks let alone 2 bricks still stuck together.

1998 Subaru Legacy Sedan L 4dr Sedan AWD
My wife bought it new and handed it to me when we bought a new Forester this year. She's used it to carry dogs & horse stuff, to drive over fields, to carry our boys to all the usual places. I now drive it back and forth to work (15 miles/day), & my son drives it when home from college. We about 22 mpg, 24 if highway driving (but that's not often). So astonishingly dependable that when something goes wrong, you think somebody's been fooling with it.
Cupholders. The Forester's cupholders are in between front seats - very clumsy to use. Legacy's are flimsy, but much more convenient. Huge storage space compared to Forester '08.
The front seats are uncomfortable during long drives. Subaru fixed this as of the '08 Forester.
Although a plain vanilla car,
reliability has been outstanding. Only
major repair was new alternator at
100,000. Otherwise, vehicle still going
strong at over 112,000 miles. Just wish
they'd pep up the styling for this
model to compete with the Europeans.
Reliability and four wheel drive.
Styling and the seats (but better seats
and improved engineering are found in
more recent Legacies. Overall, a very
good brand. They should really upgrade
the styling to compete with European
cars (but leave the engineering alone).

Granny Swinging – When, Why, Where, Who, How?
You will reach a time in your life, when the boredom of missionary Sex with the same person, once a month, starts to get you down, you still love the person you are with, but the sex just isn't what it used to be and at this point there are three options you will be presented with: 1. Stay with the person you have been with for years and years, start to get depressed and find yourself sitting on your sofa every night wanking off to the x factor whilst you try to come to terms with your sexless relationship. 2. Start looking out for number one and consider having an affair. There's plenty of ways to do it these days, the internet being the main route. But then again, what if she finds out, what if your family find out, what would you do? Is it worth the risk? 3. The final option is to speak to your partner, explain how you are feeling and accept the fact that you need to spice things up a bit in the bedroom and what better way to do this than to introduce a third party into the equation. Why is this a good idea I hear you asking? Swinging is theperfect way to spice things up the boudoir! Both you and your partner can remain involved in this new found adventure, nobody gets left out and as long as you stick to the rules there should be no reason as to why anybody gets jealous. The great thing about swinging is that you can get involved anywhere. You can host a party at home and invite people over and go for the whole "keys in a fruit-bowl" approach, or you can make it a little bit more selective and only invite one other person into the equation, or maybe even just one more couple. Either way, location is no issue, if you find it a struggle to host anything at your place why not get up to some naughty fun outdoors and team your swinging with some outdoor fun. When it comes to choosing the person/couple/people you want to get involved in your new fetish, the world is your oyster. People enjoy swinging at any age, sometimes it's a young couple who want to really explore their new found sexuality, or it could be an older person and this is when you start to venture into the world of Granny swinging, and why wouldn't you? Those which are older have a lot more experience than you and are more than likely, will be very comfortable with their bodies which mean you are likely to get a real dirty experience. So, you've decided to start swinging? How do you go about it? This is the question that stops so many people venturing into this exciting and liberating world. Sure you can put some naughty adverts in the personals at the back of the paper, or you can put some leaflets in the phone boxes, but this is unlikely to get you the best response. The easiest way to get involved in this game is online. You are guaranteed to find people who are interested in the idea, plus you get the advantage of only contacting/responding to people who you want to.

Announcing the contest winners for our Country Woman/Hancock Fabrics Quilt A Block Contest!
Tagged as: Contest Winning Crafts
I was contacted in early November by a representative from your magazine who said that I was one of the runner-ups. She said that I would be contacted with information about my prize, and that although only the winning blocks would be included in the magazine, all of the winning and runner-up quilt blocks would be posted online. I have not received any more information, and now only the winning blocks were posted. Selfishly, I was looking forward to my work being recognized also. Please let me know what is happening with this.
I was wondering if you have contests, where the women could receive fabrics for their winnings? I live on a very low income, and would appreciate so much any help towards my sewing projects. Thanks!

Former Indiana assistant Ray McCallum will be announced as the new coach at the University of Detroit Mercy today.
McCallum, who has head coaching experience at Ball State and Houston, came to Indiana along with Kelvin Sampson two years ago. But it was well known that he wanted a head coaching job and was waiting for the right opportunity to come along; he turned down Indiana State last year.
It appears as though McCallum never sought a spot on Tom Crean's staff. He had been mentioned as a possible replacement for Stan Joplin at Toledo, and many MAC people pushed hard for his return to the conference (Joplin, by the way, has been mentioned as a possible Crean assistant on the message boards but won't be, according to sources).
McCallum leaving is a huge blow to the Bloomington North program. Ray McCallum Jr. was quickly developing into one of the top players in the state. He's a high Division I prospect at point guard.
The Titans play in the Horizon League and are probably best known for being the place where the loudest college hoops fan of them all, Dick Vitale, coached in the 1970s.
Congratulations coach! Best of luck to you.
Good news for the Coach, sad day for BHSN. Ray Jr. is an asset to both the school and the team. Good luck to the McCallum family!
carma sucks. doesn't it hodson.
Great news for McCallum. He will be a class act. To bad for IU because I think he just got stuck in the middle of a huge mess. Lucky for him he can land a great job. To bad for Bloomington that this family is leaving town. They are definately a class act.
Karma? What'd Hodson do? Haven't heard much about him?
Best of luck to you Ray, Jr. — you're a terrific player and we'll miss you. I hope you'll still consider IU, and wish you the best.
Andy Hodson is guilty of nothing. You have to be a South fan or an Edgewood fan, Im sorry that Ray tore your schools up, and you couldnt buy him away like you do your other athletes
Doesn't matter who Holmes recruits to South. He'll never do anything in the tournament when it really matters. He takes talented teams and routinely underachieves with them.
Jared you are blind or mentally ill.
Every single south basketball player this year was a over achiever.
Holmes doesn't recruit players,players or their parents would rather see them play at south because most players overachievers.
North on the otherhand has some great players with great attitudes ( ray would be a prime example along with pretty much every other d 1 player from north) the rest of them are not team oriented or hate the coaching staff.
sid you must be a kid because that doesn't make any sense at all. if that team overachieved this year, and lost in the first game of sectionals then lord knows what they would have done if they underachieved….maybe not make the bus ride to columbus? you're kidding yourself. sorry, but south always chokes come tourney time and it doesn't matter how great they were during the regular season. A season's true success is determined in the tournament.
jared, you must be jealous………….why spend your time cutting down south? i guess that makes you feel better about yourself. you obviously don't know what went on at south this year, so if i were you i would keep the comments to yourself so you dont look so bad………..maybe if you played for south they would win a lot more games……….come on down to the southside and we'll see what you can do.
bloom south didn't recruit kyree jones?
No, he wanted to play with quality players, one being Jordan Hulls, that is why he came. He wanted to get away from the environment he was in. He should have stayed………he would have also been on the Jr. All Star Team, but to much moving around. I am sure JR would like to have players for 4 years, not 1. It is not recruiting that south does, it is that players want to play for a solid basketball program that is well known in the state………..thats about it…
this article is about McCallum……..goodluck to his family and best of luck to Ray Jr.
Good luck Coach McCallum. I appreciate your dedication to the basketball program over the last two years. God Bless
Hodson is the worst coach in Indiana, he is a disgrace to basketball and Coach Mcckinney…talented players like josh dorsey trent beane jake mullinex and more quit because he was awful. I bet 100% if north had a different coach north would have a very good team rather than looking for ray and dee to carry them every game. But good luck to you ray in Detriot.

WEBB RIPS CONGRESS: Easy for him to say, per the Virginian-Pilot, "Less than three months after leaving the U.S. Senate, Jim Webb is accusing Congress of abdicating its role of overseeing the nation's use of military power and its agreements with foreign leaders.The legislative branch has increasingly allowed the past two presidents, George W. Bush and Barack Obama, to take unilateral actions that should have required consultation with Congress, said Webb, who left Capitol Hill in January after deciding not to run for a second term.
"In the years since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, more power has shifted to the White House with little objection from Congress, Webb wrote, calling it "a breakdown of our constitutional process." The Virginia Democrat says legislators care too much about party loyalty and not enough about challenging the presidential use of force overseas. Both parties are culpable, he said: Democrats today give Obama the same type of deference that Republicans accorded Bush during his two terms." http://bit.ly/13dAsnz
BAKER'S WAGER: There's much riding on it, per Gazette.Net, "Prince George's County Executive Rushern L. Baker's proposal to take control of the county's school system might not only shake up schools, it could also be a game-changer for his political career, political observers say. "I think this could affect his re-election," said community activist Judy Robinson, who believes Baker's plan could cause him to lose support. "I would never like to see all that consolidated under one individual. I like Rushern Baker. I don't like him as Julius Caesar." http://bit.ly/16L2iXg
PLANES, TRAINS: And automobiles, per the Richmond Times-Dispatch, "For the first time in four years, Virginia's six-year plan for road construction will mean something. The state would receive an additional $4 billion for its six-year plan and possibly more, depending on the fate of legislation in Congress to tax Internet sales under legislation awaiting the signature of Gov. Bob McDonnell that would raise state tax revenues for transportation for the first time in 27 years." http://bit.ly/11ioh3E
GOOD TO GO IN MARYLAND: This is how they do it, per the Baltimore Sun, "Gov. Martin O'Malley's budget for next year sailed through the Senate on Wednesday after an unusually brief debate, seen by some as a sign of the state's improved fiscal condition. Senators voted 42-5 to pass the $36.8 billion budget and send it to a conference committee with the House. All 35 Democrats and seven Republicans voted in favor of the budget, which comes close to eliminating what was once a nearly $2 billion long-term revenue shortfall." http://bsun.md/16K9xPd
OBAMA'S ISRAEL TRIP: Happy faces for all, per the Washington Post, "President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed an unusual degree of solidarity Wednesday on a set of shared national security concerns that have divided them in the past, signaling either a turn in their vital, if volatile, relationship or a cool tactical display of diplomatic theater. The leaders' joint appearance concluded a tone-setting first day of Obama's first presidential trip to Israel, a visit celebrated with military ceremony, children's serenades and a rare personal chemistry with a hard-line Israeli leader with whom Obama has often bickered publicly." http://wapo.st/WWv6dA
THIS IS BECOMING A MOOT POINT: Of gay marriage, per the New York Times, "The American Academy of Pediatrics declared its support for same-sex marriage for the first time on Thursday, saying that allowing gay and lesbian parents to marry if they so choose is in the best interests of their children. The academy's new policy statement says same-sex marriage helps guarantee rights, benefits and long-term security for children, while acknowledging that it does not now ensure access to federal benefits. When marriage is not an option, the academy said, children should not be deprived of foster care or adoption by single parents or couples, whatever their sexual orientation." http://nyti.ms/161YFuz
POLITICO PLAY: "Want to know if Republicans finally back immigration reform, stand a chance of picking up Senate seats in the midterms, or get their act together by 2016? Instead of the GOP, watch the Rubio-Paul Party. Forget John Boehner. Ignore Karl Rove. The real action in the GOP is coming from the newest wing of the party, the one born in the spring of 2009 - the offspring of Tea Party activists that almost single-handedly propelled Republicans to control of the House." http://politi.co/ZeZIkD
SCHOLASTIC RAPE: Just the facts, per ABC7 - WJLA, "A 17-year-old has been arrested this week and is accused of raping a classmate inside Friendship Charter School in Northeast D.C. The incident allegedly occurred after school hours in an empty classroom and involved a 16-year-old victim." http://wj.la/13cMvRQ
WALTER REED: Bidders abound, per City Paper, "One of the District's vaunted mega-development projects took a step forward with the announcement that nine developers responded to the request for qualifications for the Walter Reed campus overhaul. The list features some of the city's usual big players, including two currently undertaking other large redevelopment projects: Hines, which is completing CityCenterDC downtown, and Roadside Development, which is working on the CityMarket at O in Shaw. Others include Douglas Development, Forest City, and Western Development." http://bit.ly/15ueQ1I
REEFER MADNESS: Remember that movie?, per the Washington Examiner, "The District's first facilities for selling medical marijuana are expected to open next month after a long struggle over how and where the drug should be dispensed. The District passed a medical marijuana law in 1998, but Congress prevented the law from moving forward until 2009. Since then, marijuana cultivators and dispensaries have been waiting on regulations and approval." http://bit.ly/ZeXnX5
RARE RIGIDITY IN MARYLAND: And a dose of common sense, per the Washington Times, "School administrators around the country are keeping a closer eye on warning signs for gun violence after last year's mass shooting in Newtown, Conn., but one Maryland lawmaker says the vigilance too often is crossing into the realm of anti-gun hysteria. Sen. J.B. Jennings, Baltimore County Republican, has introduced a bill that would bar public school principals from suspending young children for carrying pictures or objects resembling guns or for making gunlike hand gestures." http://bit.ly/161ZX8M
HAVE A COKE AND A SMILE: Or not, per the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, "In an effort to streamline operations three years after absorbing thousands of employees from the purchase of its largest bottler, Coca-Cola plans to lay off around 750 people in the coming months across the country. About one-fourth of those cuts 180 or so people will be in Atlanta, the company said Wednesday." http://bit.ly/ZeapUt

the total was 3500 dollar over a 3 month period but. I've been buying back most of the things i've embezzeled so that the total will go down, will this help with my sentencing. my petty theft charge was from when i was 16 years old and it was sealed and i am now 21.
DUI / DWI Attorney
These cases are extremely difficult for the state to prove absent a full and detailed confession. Talk to a good local attorney in charlotte.
Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. I have a follow up question though. if i am convicted will my on previous offense (the sealed record) make it more likely to go to jail or prison? or could I apply for the deferred prosecution program?
Criminal Defense Attorney
You would not be looking at active time. At worst, you would receive probation. It may be possible for your attorney to negotiate a deferred prosecution agreement if the restitution is paid.
While I think a probationary sentence is much more likely, a class H is a C/I/A block which means that he COULD get active time - its just not very likely, even if the charge from 5 years ago were brought to light.

Uncertain weather conditions forecast for Monday morning have led to cancellation of classes at all public and private schools in Morehouse Parish.
Tom Thrower, superintendent of Morehouse Parish Schools, said preliminary work to call off classes was done Friday,
"We use the 'Alert Now' system where we can contact all of our employees and parents, and we set it up Friday to make a call at 5 a.m. Monday if the situation presented itself," Thrower said. "Our plan Friday was to go out at 3 o'clock Monday morning and evaluate the roads, make the decision by 4 a.m. and let the sytem start with notifications at 5 a.m.
"After looking at the forecast, and considering we have a lot of rural roads for our buses to cover, we simply moved the notification up until 5 p.m. (Sunday)," Thrower said.
Similar to "Alert Now," Prairie View principal Ed Bain says the school uses a system called "Notify Me" to alert parents about school closures and for other purposes.
"We made the decision to call off classes and let the system take care of the rest," Bain said. "It does everything - phone calls, e-mails, text messages."
Bain said PVA used it once last year for a weather-related closure, "and within minutes the school was empty."

Is Rick Perry Suffering From Back Pain?
One renowned Perry-watcher thinks he might be.
World-renowned Perry-watcher Paul Burka of Texas Monthly wonders whether Rick Perry is still suffering from his July back surgery:
Perry was clearly off his game during the tea party debate. He looked uncomfortable, his face was strained, his combativeness was muted. He looked to me like a man with back pain. I wondered if he were wearing a brace. I've had back surgery, and it hurt to watch him ... He was low-energy and the feistiness wasn't there. That's why I'm wondering whether the back operation didn't go well, or whether he got irked because Bachmann got to his right on the HPV issue. Another explanation could be that Perry has been around so long and has been so successful in politics that our expectations are high, and they are hard to meet. He just didn't seem presidential, and I think the reason was that he was hurting ... I am beginning to wonder whether he will have the stamina to hold up to the demands of a grueling campaign if his back is injured. For now, that's just as big a threat as Romney is.
Not that we're nearly as familiar with Perry as Burka is, but if you ask us, this might be reading into things a bit. Maybe Perry appeared uncomfortable at times because he was being mercilessly attacked by nearly everyone on stage?

John dropped into our old and complex fraud case weeks before a week-long jury trial. He synthesized and simplified the complexities of 50 plus boxes of discovery. He presented a clear and compelling case to the jury. We got everything we deserved by way of verdict. And we got every dollar worth of value and more from John.
Posted by a Intellectual Property client
John Hutchins is a very intelligent attorney yet extremely down to earth. I would recommend John for the most challenging issues. I'm so happy that I had the chance to work with him.
Posted by a Commercial Real Estate client
John is a rare find. He has all of the legal skills you want in your attorney, but his business sense and personability make him unique. Most importantly, he is not afraid to give you his unvarnished opinion, which many lawyers will not do. Because John is a good lawyer and a likeable person, good associates are drawn to him, so he always has a nice stable of good, mid-level associates working around him.
Posted by a Lawsuits & Disputes client
Very professional, well prepared, intuative, articulate attorney that basically saved my company from being shut down by a frivolous lawsuit by our largest competitor. I would definitely recommend Mr. Hutchins to anyone needing litigation or general counsel.
Posted by a Internet client
Well Done, Thouroughly enjoyed working with John.
Posted by a Arbitration client
We played a game of 'You bet your Company". We were up against a really big name Law Firm. It was obvious from the beginning that he and his team were more than their equal. Most importantly we won. I would absolutely use John again.
Posted by a Lawsuits & Disputes client
In my role I have relationships with several attorneys, without question John Hutchins is the one that I can count on. He is responsive to our needs, honest in his opinions, and very fair in his billing. He has become a vital part of our company and we value him the same as we would any full time employee.

Comments about 'New Down syndrome test 'more sensitive, reliable''
- Oldest first

Down syndrome is the least funded genetic condition in the United States. How
we parents of children with Down syndrome would love to see even a fraction of
the money devoted to diagnosing Down syndrome in utero actually go to finding a
treatment to help our children!
I'm not opposed to genetic testing, but let's be frank: what the article omits is the fact that after a positive test, something like 90% of pregnant women choose to have an abortion.
So the more accurate and common the tests become, the fewer children with Down syndrome will have a chance to be born.
And that is a true tragedy, because the differently abled contribute so much to society.

I have two downs children, both adopted. My son, now 38, was the first and perhaps the only handicapped child placed by LDS Social Services. He loves to go to the temple, greets everyone for sacrament and bears his testimony nearly every month. When he fails to do so many people want to know why he didn't. Both children have been totally joyous contributors to my live and I wouldn't change them in any way. In my life I have met many parents of downs children. I have never met one who didn't feel the same way I do. The thought of aborting one of these children is so abhorrent to me I can't express my horror and the selfish stupidity of depriving oneself of the immense joy these children bring is inconceivable. To anyone considering this test I can only recommend that you think long and hard about it. By the way, and it may not even be relevant, but both couples who gave up my children for adoption eventually divorced.

My daughter discovered very early in her pregnancy that her second son had Down syndrome. She accepted it and her boy, though he has special challenges, is a joy to all who know him. I was distressed that right after the diagnosis was made, someone at the place that did the test who has vinegar in her blood stream told her to have her baby aborted. What in the world were they thinking? Telling a woman to kill her baby because he won't be perfect.

George Osborne's claim that household disposable incomes are higher than at the start of the financial crisis is "inconceivable", according to the Government's fiscal watchdog.
Robert Chote, the head of the independent Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), told the Treasury Select Committee it would be "several years" before household spending power returned to its pre-recession peak.
"Whichever way you look at it - you only have to look at average earnings, wages and salaries - all those data tell us that the levels have been falling," added Stephen Nickell, an economist at the OBR. "So it's inconceivable that household incomes haven't been falling over that period."
According to the Treasury, real household disposable income (RDHI) as measured in Britain's national accounts rose 3.9pc between the pre-crisis peak of 2008 and the second quarter of 2013, driven by a rise in non-wage benefits, including pension contributions.
However, Mr Nickell highlighted that the Government's measure was not divided per capita. "Total disposable income can go up because each person has more income, or because each person has the same or even less disposable income but there are more people," he said.
Asked by Labour MP Andy Love if RDHI was the best way to determine rises in living standards, Mr Nickell replied: "No".
He added: "There are various things that appear [in the Government's measure]. For example, if you're in a company pension fund, and your company ... contributes some money towards filling a black hole in that pension fund, that contribution counts towards your disposable income. But it's not the sort of thing that you and I would think of as being readily available to spend."
Mr Chote said UK wage growth would not outpace inflation in a "significant" way until 2015, while Mr Nickell said real wages would not return to pre-crisis levels until 2016.
Last week, Mr Osborne was accused of using questionable statistics to tell MPs that households are getting better off. The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) said the Chancellor had used "strange" disposable income figures in his Autumn Statement. "It tells us something about household incomes but it should certainly not be used in isolation to measure how they are changing," said Paul Johnson, IFS director.
Mr Chote also admitted that predictions for stronger productivity growth next year remained uncertain. "I think almost everybody is assuming that some part of the weakness in productivity relative to the pre-crisis trend, is likely lost for good," said Mr Chote. "The big uncertainty is how big that effect is."
Mr Nickell also said rapid house price rises would probably continue as long as supply remained constrained. "[There is a] fundamental flaw under house prices and unless we start building houses at a rate which actually outpaces the growth in the number of households, that flaw will be sustained," he said.

From Woodcuts to Bytes for a Vietnamese Poet
By SAM HOWE VERHOVEK
Published: March 15, 2001
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash. — By the time Copper Canyon Press was ready to publish "Spring Essence: The Poetry of Ho Xuan Huong," the project was something more than a book, for it entailed the preservation of the fading calligraphic way of writing Vietnamese.
A nearly extinct ideographic script known as Nom, similar to Chinese but representing Vietnamese, was painstakingly put into a computer program, and thus did the works of Ho arrive in Western bookstores. Considered one of Vietnam's greatest poets, Ho was born in the late 1700's and wrote with unusual irreverence and shockingly erotic undertones for her time.
Ho's work really "jumped from woodcut to digitization, skipping the whole Gutenberg process," said John Balaban, the North Carolina poet who translated her folk poems and helped oversee their presentation in the strikingly designed book. Each poem is presented in three versions, across facing pages: in the original Nom, in modern romanized Vietnamese, and in English.
For Copper Canyon, a small nonprofit press that specializes in poetry and operates out of a former cannon repair shop at Fort Worden State Park in this windy old port on Puget Sound, the publishing of Ho's poems was an especially intricate proposition as well as a sweet triumph. The book has drawn glowing reviews on both sides of the Pacific and was mentioned by President Bill Clinton in a toast during his trip to Vietnam in November. It has sold surprisingly well, as poetry books go, and is in its third printing after two runs totaling about 10,000 copies since October.
"For a late-18th-century Vietnamese concubine not widely known in the West, that's pretty amazing," said Michael Wiegers, the managing editor of Copper Canyon. "She's doing very well for herself." There are many remarkable turns in the tale of how this book led to the effort to preserve Nom, a script so arcane that scholars say that just a few dozen of the 80 million people who live in Vietnam can read it with proficiency. "Sometimes books really do change the world," said the Utne Reader in its review. "This one will set in motion a project that may transform Vietnamese culture."
It begins, of course, with Ho, a concubine (meaning second wife, and "like the maid/but without the pay," as she put it in one poem) whose life is clouded in some mystery but whose poetry was by turns scholarly, strident, bawdy and funny, steeped in double-entendres and altogether questioning and even mocking of the Confucian strictures of the day. (Under the Confucian Book of Rites, notes Mr. Balaban in his introduction, a woman "when unmarried, should obey her father; when married, her husband; and, if widowed, her son.")
The tale of the book stretches to the Vietnam War, during which Mr. Balaban was a conscientious objector who nonetheless went to Vietnam and worked for a children's relief agency providing medical care in war-damaged villages. After that, even while the fighting continued, Mr. Balaban, fascinated by the Vietnamese language, started traveling the countryside with a tape recorder to collect folk tales and people's recitations of Vietnamese poetry.
"Imagine a Vietnamese walking up to an American farmhouse during the war and knocking on the door, introducing himself and saying, `I wonder if you would sing me your favorite poem,' " Mr. Balaban said in a telephone interview. "Instead of being driven off with a shotgun, I was welcomed."
Over and over Mr. Balaban heard the earthy poems of Ho (whose full name is roughly pronounced hoe swan who-ung), which are deeply popular in the oral tradition across all classes of Vietnamese society and are passed along in hand-drawn copies. Using puns and elaborate rhymes and playing on tonal differences in the language, her poems are often good for a laugh and many have not-so-hidden sexual imagery.
Others use timeless natural images and simply sound beautiful, both in Vietnamese and now in Mr. Balaban's translations, as in "Questions for the Moon":
"How many thousands of years have you been there? Why sometimes slender, why sometimes full?" the poem asks, and later continues:
Why do you circle the purple loneliness of night
and seldom blush before the sun?
Weary, past midnight, who are you searching for?
Are you in love with these rivers and hills?
Mr. Balaban also came across spoken renderings by village women that are attributed to Ho, though they struck him, after further research, as modern imitations of the poet's voice. No one knows for sure, which in a way makes her influence more intriguing. One common such poem is called "The Condition of Women":
Sisters, do you know how it is? On one hand,
the bawling baby; on the other, your husband
sliding onto your stomach,
his little son still howling at your side.
Yet, everything must be put in order.
Rushing around all helter-skelter.
Husband and child, what obligations!
Sisters, do you know how it is?
Mr. Balaban is poet in residence and a professor of English at North Carolina State University in Raleigh.
"For 10 years I have pecked at these translations, often just giving up but always returning," Mr. Balaban, who has written several volumes of his own poetry and been nominated twice for the National Book Award, explains in the introduction to the collection of Ho's poetry.

Use of washer and/or dryer EU. 2,- each.
Breakfast is not provided but you will find a complimentary basket with wine, beer, softdrinks, fruit and other goodies. The fully fitted mini kitchen gives the guests the opportunity to prepare their own breakfast whenever they desire. Also included is bedlinnen and towels.
As we expect our guests to treat our home as if it were their own, there are no charges for cleaning!
We do however, request guests to take off bedlinnen and leave it in the entrance at the washing machine.
Esbjerg is situated in the South Western part of Danmark, there where the Vikings took off from and came home to. Several of their settlements, now open air musea, are near to where we live. But don't worry, the Vikings are all gone, while we are very much alive and much friendlier.
Esbjerg is Danmarks center for the offshore, oil- and windmill industry.
Also sports and education are trademarks of our city. It is also a windy city. We get lots of fresh air blown in from the north sea, but that is for free for now, and we hope it will remain untaxed.

I wanted to know when submitting free themes to the free theme listings, if they can be built using third party frameworks? The one I am considering using is fully GPL, but the reason I am asking is because the structure of it is very different from a typical WordPress theme. For the reviewers, if they see the theme files, they will think, "What the....." lol.
The other thing is that this framework (called Warp) uses a type of Child theme concept for any overrides or customization, called "Styles" but these are not installed like an actual child theme would, more like uploaded into the "styles" directory of this framework.

Selecting a single folder I could run
ren *.jpeg *.png
I have multiple folders. I want to create a batch file that will loop through all the folders and will rename the files within it.
For example I have folders
TEST1 and
TEST2 inside root directory
TEST. I want to create a batch that will rename all the
.jpeg files within
TEST1 and
TEST2 to
FOR /R "E:\TEST\" %%G in (*.jpeg) DO ren *.jpeg *.png
I am getting an error:
The system can not find the file specified
I don't understand the issue.
