"Political-orientation harrassment, violence and hate crimes"
This just in, the background on my entry yesterday regarding a "Wanted" poster calling for the head of an anti-Republican windshield wiper vandal:
Posted: Mon Aug 22, 2005 12:23 am
Post subject: Leftists in action
I hope you will all take the time to read this story — it is long. It happened about a half hour ago.
When I work at Banana Republic on weekends, I typically park on Capitol Hill (as close as I can get to downtown) and then walk about 20 blocks. I can't stand trying to find parking downtown, or worse, paying for it. So today, around 1pm, I parked my beat up 1989 Jeep Cherokee at 14th and Madison (right near Piecora's Pizza).
After getting done with work around 10:30, I walked to Subway, where I had a sandwich and read the Stranger. (they still have not run a correction for an error they wrote in a story about Initiative 912 last month despite my repeated requests for one) Then I proceeded to walk the remaining seven or so blocks to my car.
As I walked around the corner right by Piecora's, I noticed two thirty-something white males…
both dressed in punkish clothes (awkward given their ages..) and both significantly overweight (I would say at least 50 pounds a piece). The taller of the two, hereafter referred to as "the Perp" veered out of the crosswalk, toward my Jeep, after noticing my bumperstickers (NRA, a vintage 2000 Bush-Cheney sticker, NoNewGasTax.com, and "Clean up King County - Dump Ron Sims"). I observed the situation silently from around 30 feet away.
Perp then put his cigarette out on my Bush-Cheney sticker and proceeded to place his hands on my rear-view windshield wiper. A loud snap reverberated through the air as he ripped it off the car, particles of metal and plastic were seen flying throughout the area and Perp left the now completely broken windshield wiper dangling by a cord down by my license plate.
I began running toward Perp, shouting "That's my car! That's my car! You can't f---ing do that to people's cars! I'm calling 911!"
Perp responded "go ahead."
Dispatcher: 911 what's your emergency?
Aaron: AAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! (I was really freaking out) Someone just ripped off my windshield wiper!
D: What's your location?
A: I'm on Madison and.... madison and something.. Right near CC's, g-----it!
D: I need the cross streets. What is the address?
A: Madison and 15th! Madison and 15th!
D: Ok, I am dispatching the officers, tell me what happened.
A: I was walking up to my car and I saw a man rip off my windshield wiper.
D: Do you know these people? Are they friends or neighbors?
A: No!
D: Why did they rip it off?
A: Because of my political bumperstickers!
D: What is the man wearing?
A: He's wearing a black muscle t-shirt with a white print on the back. He has multiple piercings and a tatoo on his left arm (snakes). He has a black baseball cap on and long cargo shorts that are camoflouge color.
(I proceeded to follow Perp and his friend into CCs, where I stayed within eyesight. I noticed Perp talking to a friend of his, also fat, pointing in my direction and acting all confused)
A: I saw you do it! I saw you do it!
D: Are you with the suspects right now?
D: Sir you need to leave the area immediately.
A: Ok, I'll go outside and wait.
D: The officers are on their way.
-end of 911 conversation-
A woman officer drove up about 4 minutes later. I was pacing, pacing, pacing, furious and hysterical. I told the woman the story and during the telling two other officers showed up. Officer Letizia (badge number 6628), God bless his soul, took down a description of the Perp and instructed me to go wait by my Jeep. I proceeded to walk down there and, in the process, I phoned Ross Marzolf, Executive Director of the KCGOP who lives a few blocks away and is also a former victim of political-orientation harrassment, violence and hate crimes.
Ross didn't answer, so I called Kristina Morris, God bless her soul. She awoke from sleep and took my call, I was hysterical and told her everything that happened. I took pictures of the bumpersticker with ashes all over it and pictures of my dangling, broken, maimed windshield wiper.
Officer Letizia returned after about 8 minutes, saying that they searched every room in the bar, including the bathrooms and there was no one in there that matched my description. He gave me a case number (05-357614) and said he'd file a report.
I AM SO MAD! Tomorrow, I am putting a large sign in the back of my car that says "A 'PEACEFUL' LEFTIST RIPPED OFF THE WINDSHIELD WIPER THAT USED TO BE THERE --->"
Aaron wrote up his account on a UW College Republicans forum(check it out to read the comments), which landed on Stefan Sharkansky's Sound Politics blog, which someone sent my way. Thanks!

how much cromium picolate should you take?

Answers (1)
15 Aug 2009
Chromium is a mineral found in certain foods. The body needs only trace amounts of chromium, and deficiency of this mineral in humans is rare.
According to the Natural Therapeutics guide, the recommended daily intake has not been established but the oral dose range is about 200-600 mcg/day.
Your dose needs may change if you have an injury, illness, or infection, if you are pregnant, if you are under stress, or if you exercise more than usual.
Chromium picolinate works together with insulin produced by the pancreas to metabolize carbohydrates. It has been used in alternative medicine as an aid to lowering cholesterol or improving the body's use of glucose (sugar). It is also commonly touted as a weight-loss supplement that aids in reducing body fat and increasing lean muscle.
Not all uses for chromium picolinate have been approved by the FDA. Chromium picolinate should not be substituted for prescription medications.
There are no regulated manufacturing standards in place for many herbal compounds and some marketed supplements have been found to be contaminated with toxic metals or other drugs. Herbal/health supplements should be purchased from a reliable source to minimize the risk of contamination.

Considering it's free - fantastic theme. I've tried MANY themes for clients and MANY promise they can be customised and work with BuddyP etc.
Custom Community is the only one that seems to hit the right balance - it actually IS BuddyP ready, and has enough custom stuff without becoming unmanageable.
The Good
It has built in Buddypress support which is very useful (if needed).
Very flexible options, lots of colour choices, layout options etc.
You can have colours or images as background for post/page/widget - even some titles. Custom logo and header.
The options are the best laid out I've seen - very clear and easy to navigate.
My quibbles are...
The 'responsive' layout can get ugly, with search-boxes and menu's overlapping other content when browser window is resized.
The header effects only work within tight restrictions (certain page widths).
I'd like a little more flexibility in changing padding/margins without having to go into CSS.

This hotel is terrible! First mistake booking room on booking.com. Second mistake was expecting a decent room, wasn't looking for luxury but necessities would have been nice. There is no safe as listed on line so we didn't leave anything in the room. AC never got below 78 even on turbo setting. No clock in room, only 1 plug to charge phone which is across the room & 5 feet high so leaves hanging under tv. The sink constantly dripped, shower was wet when we got here. Worst of all a big red sign said do not put paper in toilet, but a tiny sign says a $250 fee for stopping up toilet. There is only a chain lock on the door & I can break in that if I wanted so we,2 women, didn't feel very safe. We originally booked 3 nights, based upon reviews we read &e can barely take 1. The hotel refused to refund us the 2 nights we didn't stay, booking.com refused to help either. Its not worth the $400 for 3 nights & they should be ashamed asking that much.

Just got back from Lutsen 2 days of skiing, we ended up staying in Silver Bay Americinn for the price and the water slide, it was a nice hotel, kept clean and updated,slide was alot of fun. The drive up to Lutsen could be too long for more than 2 days. Thanks to 5 in of new snow the day/night before we skied the skiing was good, just a bit icey under the new snow but very happy with conditions,seems it might have been getting a little tough before the new snow with some minor bare patches and tops of rocks exposed in the trees, got to try the new "Plunge" which was fun and exciting for Mn skiiing very steep and really tough on the 2nd day when all the fresh snow was skiied/blown off with ice exposed, there is a long flat run off at the bottom that keeps you from taking too many runs down. Mystery and Moose held the snow the best,eagle mountain gets skiied out pretty fast ,also something must have gone wrong when they made snow for the moguls on Hari Cari and Grizzly runs because they are all chunky and pretty much unskiable so if you like moguls that could be a dissapointment for you. We agree with others that the lifts are too slow and pricing is a little high.

U.S. Ambassador to Japan Caroline Kennedy plans to visit Okinawa in mid-February, her first trip to the island prefecture with a sizable U.S. military presence since she assumed the post in November, bilateral relations sources said Wednesday.
The daughter of former U.S. President John F. Kennedy is expected to hold talks with local officials, including Okinawa Gov. Hirokazu Nakaima, during her visit amid controversy over a bilateral plan to move a U.S. Marine Corps base elsewhere in Okinawa.
According to the sources, Kennedy may arrive in Okinawa on Feb. 11, just weeks after the people of Nago, the coastal city that would host the new Marine base if it were built, re-elected as mayor a staunch opponent of the plan.
Nakaima has just approved landfill work in the Henoko coastal area of Nago, which is needed to build a replacement facility for the Marines' Futenma Air Station in a crowded residential area of Ginowan, also on the main Okinawa island.
In talks with the governor, Kennedy is likely to seek his continued cooperation in advancing the long-stalled relocation plan. She is also expected to visit the Futenma base to provide encouragement to U.S. service personnel and meet with local residents, according to the sources.
Kennedy, who has already visited Nagasaki, the site of a U.S. atomic bombing in 1945, and some areas affected by the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan's northeast, has expressed her intention to visit Okinawa at an appropriate time.

The Beatles' Producer, Still With Stories to Tell; George Martin Has Found Life After the Studio, and Time for Another Autobiography
By ALLAN KOZINN
Published: June 17, 2003
By 1998 there were few record producers more famous than Sir George Martin. His imagination, openness to experimentation and deftness as an arranger had helped transform the Beatles from an energetic regional dance band into one of the most creative ensembles in popular music. But at 72 he was complaining that his hearing had so throughly deteriorated that he could no longer work behind a mixing board. So he announced his retirement that year, and after a final project -- ''In My Life,'' a compilation of Beatles songs performed by other musicians and a few actors -- he packed away his microphones.
What he didn't do, however, was settle down at his home in Wiltshire in the English countryside. Within a year he was conducting orchestral concerts of Beatles music in Brazil, Australia and Israel. (He will be conducting another such concert in England this summer.) He also annotated a series of classical music recordings for listeners new to the repertory. He has been giving illustrated lectures on the making of the Beatles' ''Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.'' And when an all-star rock concert was staged at Buckingham Palace to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II's jubilee in 2002, Sir George organized the lineup and appeared onstage, not only escorting the queen but also leading the starry ensemble in the closing Beatles selections.
Now 77, he is the chairman of Heart Radio, an independent British FM station. He is on the board of the Chrysalis Group, which has interests in radio, music publishing and recording and which owns Air, the independent production company that Sir George founded in 1965. And he has written ''Playback,'' a lavishly illustrated, 330-page autobiography recently issued by Genesis Publications, which specializes in expensive limited editions.
''I've written four books,'' Sir George said during an early morning limousine ride to Kennedy International Airport at the end of a recent visit to New York, ''and I wasn't going to write anymore, except I'm at the end of my life now. And do you know what tipped the scales for me? The fact that it would be such a good thing for my family, my children and grandchildren. It would be like a family heirloom, or a photograph album.''
In packaging and price, ''Playback'' is nothing like his other three books -- ''All You Need Is Ears,'' an earlier autobiography; ''Summer of Love,'' a partly autobiographical discussion of the making of ''Sgt. Pepper''; and ''Making Music,'' a book of essays he edited. The publisher has printed 2,000 copies of ''Playback,'' all autographed by Sir George, and each includes a CD with several of his own compositions and a few rare recordings (though none by the Beatles). The standard version goes for $375 and is available from Genesis (www.genesis-publications.com/) or its American distributor, Govinda Gallery in Washington (800-775-1111).
Brian Roylance, who runs Genesis, said that a deluxe edition of 250 copies -- fully bound in leather and offered with an autographed copy of a six-CD career overview issued by EMI Records in 2001 -- has already sold out at $674. An inexpensive version is unlikely.
''Playback'' reproduces some fascinating memorabilia, including pages from Sir George's diaries -- one shows his first meeting with Brian Epstein, the Beatles' manager, at 9 a.m. on Feb. 13, 1962 -- as well as handwritten notes, diagrams and doodles from recording sessions, and Sir George's neatly handwritten string score for ''Eleanor Rigby.''
There is some straightforward autobiography, touching on the poverty of Sir George's early years, his wartime service in the British Navy and his early musical studies. But the focus, naturally, is on his recording career, which began in 1950, when he joined the staff of Parlophone Records, then a poor relation among EMI's labels. Sir George began by producing recordings of classical ensembles, regional groups and light jazz and pops orchestras, and in the dozen years before the Beatles turned up he developed a renegade production style.
''When I joined EMI,'' he said, ''the criterion by which recordings were judged was their faithfulness to the original. If you made a recording that was so good that you couldn't tell the difference between the recording and the actual performance, that was the acme. And I questioned that. I thought, O.K., we're all taking photographs of an existing event. But we don't have to make a photograph; we can paint. And that prompted me to experiment.''
Some of his ideas found outlets in the comedy records he made, starting in the late 1950's, with Peter Sellers, Flanders and Swann, Spike Milligan and Beyond the Fringe (which included Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, Alan Bennett and Jonathan Miller).
''Nowadays people don't think of aural images,'' he said, ''because we're so incredibly conditioned by television and computer screens. But in those days there was no television, or very little, and when people listened to records they could imagine what was going on. So you would create a sound picture by means of -- well, if a couple was walking in the park, you'd have a little crunch of gravel, birds in the background, the faint hum of traffic.''

Alastair Bridgewater documented lifetime specs, a feature with spectacularly scalable hairiness, in http://www.lisphacker.com/codex/001-sbcl-vops.txt (the server seems to be down for the moment).
For simple use cases, I think http://pvk.ca/Blog/2014/08/16/how-to-define-new-intrinsics-in-sbcl/ covers (barely) enough to get going and move on to using VOPs in interesting code.

I bought these for my son because he liked the way that they looked. For that price I assumed that they would have good sound quality, was I wrong. I listened to a couple of songs and was very disappointed with the sound quality. Expected something better. My son likes them for the looks, so I guess as long as he is happy, I'm happy but would not recommend them to anyone looking for good sounding headphones.
I bought these headphones because they were the rave for the good bass in them, and they supposed to cancel noise fairly well. They work perfect for around the house, daily activities, playing drums(what I do), at the computer, or whatever. They have an amazing sound and work good as speakers as well if you turn the volume up and sit them on your shoulders. The only negative thing which just applies to this style headphones(not this particular product) is that it becomes uncomfortable, and slightly painful after extended use of 5 or 6 hours. I'd recommend these to everyone for their superior quality, and AMAZING sound. Keep coming out with great products. The only thing I would ask for more, is a case!
These are the best headphones I have ever purchased, and after a ton of usage from on the computer at home, to on the go, I haven't a single complaint. They're bulletproof, powerful sounding, and has the perfect bass to treble response. Get them!
These are some great headphones for a dj. These are too big for anything active because they slip off, but they are very comfortable . Also, the bass in these headphones in amazing. My only complaint is that they are a little big.
They lasted less then a month. Cheap wiring and poorly built. I'd run from these...

I finally finished the background on this. I wanted gentle-ish lighting, so the background would be a bit darker. I think it made Boba stand out more that way.
I know. xD There was a lot of speculation back then. =3 But I think Tem did an excellent job as Jango. ^_^
Turned out very nicely. :3
Nice work!

text: U.S. Bancorp is an obvious choice for outperforming in a fiscal cliff scenario recession, as the company sailed through the credit crisis, and is the strongest and most consistent earner among the nation's largest bank holding companies, with an operating return on average assets (ROA) of 1.59% for the 12-month period ended June 30, according to Thomson Reuters Bank Insight. Over the same period, the company's return on average equity (ROE) was 14.79%. Following M&T Bancorp's agreement to acquire the troubled Hudson City Bancorp ( HCBK) for about $3.7 billion in stock and cash, or roughly 80% of Hudson City's tangible book value, KBW analyst Brian Klock reiterated his "Market Perform" rating for M&T, saying the bank "has proven to be an effective and efficient acquirer and has proved, in our view, to be disciplined in pricing and diligent in achieving projected cost savings." M&T's ROA for the 12-month period ended June 30 was 0.97%, while the company's ROE was 8.16%, according to Thomson Reuters Bank insight. Klock estimates that the company will earn $6.75 a share this year, followed by EPS of $7.50 in 2013.

Customer Reviews
Most of the %'s were contradictory of other "facts." Everyone knows that the average man does not think about being intimate every 7 seconds. It's impossible, impractical, and false. If you're going to tell us stuff that isn't true, change the name of the app.
The vast majority of the statements fell into the same categories --> common knowledge, contradicts a previous statement, or ridiculous.
This app is clearly for entertainment purposes only, because it's clearly not "facts" as advertised.
Sex Facts
I find Sex information helpful. Those persons who found fault with this information are silly. Maybe they are guilty of some of the facts.

And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. —2 Corinthians 3:18
In Old Testament times, veiling the face was a way of signifying the great gulf between a person and God and the need for a mediator. God through Christ has invited us to come fearlessly to His throne of grace (Heb. 4:16). We come without a sense of condemnation or accusation because Christ took our penalty and gave us the gift of righteousness. We can open our hearts to the Lord and speak plainly of our failures, hurts, disappointments, fears, and frustrations.
Jesus, it is because of Your gift of righteousness that I can come boldly before the throne of grace. I pray that You continue to transform me into Your likeness and image.
We behold the glory of Jesus with unveiled faces.

I'm pretty new to iptables. My server has two Ethernet cards (eth0, eth1) and an ADSL router that is in bridge mode connected to the eth0 which created ppp0 when dialed.
I'm trying to forward external port 80 to my local machine (192.168.2.2) connected in eth1.
My Internet sharing is done by:
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0 -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE
(if there is a better way feel free to show me)
I am trying to use:
iptables -A FORWARD -i eth1 -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth1 --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.2.2:80
but I don't know to which Ethernet interface I should be pointing it. Any ideas?

This is a great workable cake flour substitute - but try this much easier method of measuring. Measure out 2 cups of flour into your mixing bowl, then remove 1/4 cup and replace with 1/4 cup of cornstarch.
This for run for your life. In her review, she said that she had used Corn flour. The recipe called for cornstarch which is another product entirely. If you make it again, using the correct ingredients, you will understand why this recipe has many good reviews.
This worked ok for me. Honestly we felt we could slightly taste the corn flour in the cake I made with it, which wasn't the best. The cake rose beautifully though! Unfortunately, the cake was also kind of dry and just not great but I can't attribute that to the cake flour necessarily since I had never made that cake recipe before either. In a pinch, I would use this recipe again to see if I had better luck since I don't have cake flour around the house on a regular basis.
Used in Boston Cream Pie with good results. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
I have enough different types of flour in my house that i don't need to buy another. Plus this stuff is expensive in the store... SHEESH! I don't find myself using it enough either to justify buying a whole box of it. Thanks for sharing this recipe, Lennie! its been a big help to me!! :)
Worked very well :)
Great substitute for the cake flour. I used it in Three Ingredient Italian Sponge Cake, to be served with The Ultimate Strawberry Shortcake.
As everyone else has said this makes fine cake flour. I put 1 3/4 cup of AP flour into the bowl, added 1/4 cup of core starch and proceeded to make Rich Sour Cream Scones, from 1928. Two thumbs up.
I needed cake flour for this recipe (Grandperes) and it was perfect. So easy to do. Thanks Lennie :) Made for All you can cook buffet
This worked great for the basic Southern Yellow Cake recipe which called for 3 cups of cake flour. So I had to modify if to 6 tablespoons. Worked beautifully! Light and fluffy!

See best practice code and explore visualizations of the Titanic dataset on Kaggle Scripts. Submit directly to the competition, no data download or local environment needed!
The sinking of the RMS Titanic is one of the most infamous shipwrecks in history. On April 15, 1912, during her maiden voyage, the Titanic sank after colliding with an iceberg, killing 1502 out of 2224 passengers and crew. This sensational tragedy shocked the international community and led to better safety regulations for ships.
One of the reasons that the shipwreck led to such loss of life was that there were not enough lifeboats for the passengers and crew. Although there was some element of luck involved in surviving the sinking, some groups of people were more likely to survive than others, such as women, children, and the upper-class.
In this challenge, we ask you to complete the analysis of what sorts of people were likely to survive. In particular, we ask you to apply the tools of machine learning to predict which passengers survived the tragedy.
This Kaggle "Getting Started" Competition provides an ideal starting place for people who may not have a lot of experience in data science and machine learning. The data is highly structured, and we provide tutorials of increasing complexity for using Excel, Python, pandas in Python, and a Random Forest in Python (see links in the sidebar). We also have links to tutorials using R instead. Please use the forums freely and as much as you like. There is no such thing as a stupid question; we guarantee someone else will be wondering the same thing!
New to machine learning?
We recommend getting started with these free, interactive Titanic tutorials:
DataCamp's tutorials walk you through a first submission in R or Python.

Energy Efficient Shades, Blinds & Window Treatments
- Be kind to your pocketbook, lower bills
- Reduce energy needs
- Thermal picks maintain inside temps
- Absorb outside heat & cold
- Block UV rays, protect furnishings
Add energy efficiency to your home by choosing the right window coverings. An insulating window shade will quickly pay for itself by lowering your heating and cooling bills. Cellular shades are the best insulator with year-round efficiency, and shutters are also a great choice. Roman shades and custom drapery with thermal lining also provide good insulation. Remember that shades must be closed to provide insulation, so choose a fabric opacity that fits your lighting needs. Solar screen shades provide view-through and summertime efficiency but should be paired with another treatment for nighttime privacy and winter insulation.

- Finding Prevention & a Cure
Emeritus Professor of Oncology
University of Cambridge, United Kingdom
Extensive efforts over the past seven years have identified about 100 of possibly hundreds of variants that relate to breast cancer, but we currently know very little about the relative risk associated with most of these genetic markers. Emerging research suggests that the genes are part of a complex interlocking series of networks, each influencing the other. The focus of Professor Ponder's laboratory and his current collaboration with Dr. Kerstin Meyer is to map the control networks of all the genes in a breast cancer cell to identify clusters of gene variants that share common pathways. In this way they hope to identify "gene control clusters" involved in risk that can be used to develop new approaches for the treatment and prevention of breast cancer. In the last year, they have found that the controlling genes related to estrogen receptor positive and estrogen receptor negative breast cancer are part of the same network, but with often opposing effects. The balance of these effects may be important in driving cancer development, and in the choice of treatment. The next step is to study the interplay between these two subnetworks and identify the regulatory mechanisms that govern their interaction. Findings from this work hold promise for the future and new approaches for prevention and therapy.
Bruce Ponder is Emeritus Professor of Oncology at Cambridge, former Head of Oncology and Director of the Cancer Centre, and was the Founding Director of the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Research Institute. He established one of the first clinics for familial cancer and contributed to gene discovery and genetic epidemiology in thyroid, breast and ovarian cancer. His focus is now on common genetic variation and cancer susceptibility. Over the past 10 years he has led the development of a new laboratory and clinical center for cancer research in Cambridge, culminating in 2007 with the opening of the new CRUK Cambridge Research Institute. From 2010-2014 he served as President of the British Association for Cancer Research, and was knighted in 2008 for "services to medicine".

Phoenix Suns
Report: Mike D'Antoni to coach the Los Angeles Lakers
The Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Lakers have built up quite a rivalry through the years.
It's a rivalry that took an odd twist on July 4 when the Suns dealt two-time MVP Steve Nash to Los Angeles, but apparently the twists and turns keep on coming.
Early Monday morning, despite rampant speculation that Phil Jackson would return to the organization for a third stint, Lakers beat writer Mike Bresnahan of the Los Angeles Times reported that the front office was headed in a different direction.
Source: Mike D'Antoni will be the next coach of the Lakers. Not Phil Jackson.
— Mike Bresnahan (@Mike_Bresnahan) November 12, 2012
D'Antoni endeared himself to fans in the Valley as the Suns head coach from 2003-2008.
After taking over for Frank Johnson midway through the 2003-2004 season, D'Antoni employed an up-tempo scheme which popularly became referred to as the "Seven Seconds or Less" offense. With Nash, Amar'e Stoudemire and Shawn Marion leading the way, the Suns made back-to-back appearances in the 2005 and 2006 Western Conference Finals — losing both times to the San Antonio Spurs and Dallas Mavericks.
Under D'Antoni, though, the Suns did defeat the Lakers twice in the 2006 and 2007 playoffs.
Following his tenure in Phoenix, D'Antoni spent three-plus seasons in the Big Apple as the head coach of the New York Knicks. He led the Knicks to one playoff appearance during the 2010-2011 season but resigned this past March after a rough 18-24 start to the 2011-2012 season.
In addition to his two coaching stops in Phoenix and New York, D'Antoni served as the head coach of the Denver Nuggets during the lockout-shortened season in 1998-1999.
The move reunites D'Antoni with Nash, yet another tough sight for Suns fans to have to witness. D'Antoni is no stranger to Lakers star Kobe Bryant as well, having coached him in 2008 and 2012 as an assistant on the USA men's basketball team.
Bresnahan reported the Lakers and D'Antoni agreed to a guaranteed three-year deal with a team option for a fourth year, but the former Coach of the Year will need medical clearance before officially taking over the position. D'Antoni is currently recovering from knee replacement surgery.
As luck would have it, D'Antoni won't have to wait long to face his former team. The Suns travel to Los Angeles to take on the Lakers Friday night at the Staples Center.

In the The Hunger Games book, the Capitol is described as an overindulgent place of colored hair and exquisite fashion—and we can't wait to see how the movie's head costume designer Judianna Makovsky interpreted Suzanne Collins' futuristic vision for the big screen. "We had so much to go on from the book," Makovsky told InStyle.com of how she conceptualized the designs. "A lot of the decisions were made before [the cast] was even hired." That includes dozens of costumes for lead actors Katniss, Peeta, Gale, and Effie as well as thousands more for extras. And, in an exciting twist, we might be seeing these beyond the theaters. "Nothing in confirmed, but I'm pretty sure they'll go on display, some sort of exhibit," she said. Wouldn't that be great?! See more need-to-know costume info from Makovsky in the gallery now, and check out the movie in theaters this Friday, March 23rd.

SCC sets record with 122 graduates
Above: St. Catharine College President William D. Huston, center, addresses an overflow crowd of 1,400 during Commencement held in Lourdes Hall on May 14. A total of 122 graduates were conferred during the ceremony.
It was St. Catharine College history in the making Saturday morning as an overflow crowd of 1,400 packed Lourdes Gym to witness a record 122 graduates receive their diplomas. As if that wasn't enough on this historic day, the college also presented a very special honor for the first time.
The ceremony started at 11 a.m. as the processional got under way with music provided by the Nelson County High School Band under the direction of Marc Monroe. Father Ben Brown led everyone in the invocation, followed by the National Anthem, performed by junior English major Catherine Bohn.
Dr. Maria Ciriello, O.P., with the Dominican Sisters of Peace, greeted the crowd and introduced SCC President William D. Huston.
"The class of 2011 is our biggest ever," said Huston. "We've seen a 22-percent increase in our graduating class over last year. We've made tremendous strides over the past decade – from being a junior college, to starting our Bachelor programs six years ago, to being able to offer graduate degrees starting in our next academic year."
President Huston then introduced the keynote speaker, the Honorable Elaine L. Chao.
"It is a privilege to be here with you, the St. Catharine College graduates of 2011, on this day which formally recognizes and commemorates your academic achievement," Chao said. "You worked hard for it, it is yours forever and you should be very proud…Life, and careers, will not always go according to plan…Never forget this time in America and learn its lessons. And as important - be ever mindful that America has always, always come back from adversity and advanced to become stronger and more prosperous than ever. That's because there is an indomitable spirit in this country. And there is an indomitable spirit here today, in St. Catharine's Class of 2011…In this first year of the second decade of the twenty-first century, St. Catharine is sending you forth into a world marked by historic challenges, opportunity and potential. Embrace it with gusto, grace, purpose and an abundance of faith and good humor. Those last two, especially, will serve you well. Good luck and God bless."
Next, Dr. Robert Slocum, Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences, Dr. David Arnold, Dean of the School of professional Studies, and Dr. Harry Nickens, Dean of the School of Health and Human Sciences, presented the graduate candidates, who each made their way across the stage to receive their diplomas from President Huston. After making their way back to their respective spots, President Huston addressed the Class of 2011.
"Upon the authority of the Board of Trustees of St. Catharine College, I hereby confer upon you the degree which you have earned with all the rights, privileges and responsibilities which thereunto pertain," said Huston. "You may now move your tassels to the left, congratulations"
But the final degree to be presented on the day was history unto itself. President Huston called Secretary Chao back to the podium and bestowed upon her the first-ever honorary doctorate degree from St. Catharine College, through special arrangement by Dr. Don Giles, SCC's Vice-President for Academic Affairs.
Above: St. Catharine College President William D. Huston, left, presents Elaine Chao with the first-ever honorary doctorate degree from SCC. Chao, U.S. Secretary of Labor from 2001-2009, was the keynote speaker for the college's 79th commencement exercise held May 14.
After closing remarks from President Huston, the new college graduates filed out of the gym ready to see the world from a whole new perspective.
After the ceremony, President Huston took Secretary Chao on a personal tour of the Richard S. Hamilton Health and Science Building.
"She said she wanted to see where the students studied," added Huston. "We went to the third floor and toured the labs."
After exiting the Hamilton Building, Chao noticed the Spalding Student and Community Center down the hill. President Huston told her that was where the reception was taking place. Despite having a 1 p.m. deadline to make another appointment later in the day, Chao made time to go to the reception and greeted guests and posed for pictures, extending her stay until 2 p.m.
"That was very thoughtful of her, that she was so caught up in the moment to extend her stay on campus," Huston said.
When all was said and done after the nearly 70-minute ceremony, it was evident that an important chapter in St. Catharine College history had been closed, as the Class of 2011 made the transition from being students to alumni.

Released: Apr 01st, 1993
Running Time: 74
Directors: John T Bone, John T. Bone
Company: Intropics Video
Cast: Jerry Butler, Sharise (I), Keisha (I), Gail Force, Steve Drake, Chessie Moore
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Feature
Golddiggers, as simple as it is erotic, tells the tale of two guys (Butler and Drake) who must face the fact that with their business in a shambles, their palatial homes on the block, and their money gone, it won't be long before they lose the many beautiful female hangers-on as well. As they've nothing to lose that they won't lose anyway, the two decide to coerce their "pussy-posse" into doing all of the horny things they were reluctant to ask for in the past.
Every sleazy, degrading, raunchy request is enthusiastically granted and this "kids-in-a-candy-store" concept allows for some very exciting sexual displays. Two of the hottest occur when the boys agree to a switch. Butler goes "back-door" with Steve's girl (O'Hara) while Drake does the "anal" with Jerry's (Gail Force). By far, though, Golddiggers most erotic scene features Keisha and Drake in a very romantic cabin tryst.
Director John T. Bone may not possess the artistic vision of a Blake or the narrative genius of a Spinelli, but his journeyman's approach to the genre results in some very satisfying hardcore erotica. As evidenced by Golddiggers, J.T.'s products are always worth the time it takes to watch them or the money it costs to stock them.

Story by Capt. Brent Heller, Forward Support Company commander
SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Hawaii - Moving personnel and equipment across the battlefield is a ground unit's most important tasks in combat. This is especially true of sustainment Soldiers, for whom this isn't an occasional mission, but a daily responsibility. It is because of this importance that the Forward Support Company, 84th Engineer Battalion held a field training exercise (FTX) April 28 - May 1 at Kahuku Training Area, Hawaii.
The FTX was the culminating event after two weeks of platoon-level training for the maintenance and distribution platoons.
Prior to the FTX, the platoons went to Dillingham Airfield Training Area to brush up on warrior tasks and battle drills (WTBD), general convoy operations, and troop leading procedures. Additionally, each platoon spent time training on their specific mission essential tasks (MET). For example, the maintenance platoon trained on using the 10-ton wrecker to perform recovery operations.
Taking a break from garrison operations to focus on training was a great benefit, said 1st Lt. Junior Matthews, Distribution Platoon leader.
"It was very nice to get away from our everyday support missions and train on Distribution Platoon's most important METL task: to conduct and defend a tactical convoy," he said. "That's the very thing that will keep us alive in a combat situation."
The culminating event consisted of squad lanes that required Soldiers to perform in a number of different scenarios based on an operations order designed to simulate the Korean Theater of Operations. Squad leaders were required to develop a plan, brief their teams, conduct rehearsals and inspections, and execute according to a common standard.
The lane was situated on a rough, mountainous road that tested not only the drivers' ability to negotiate difficult terrain, but also provided the opposing force role players ample opportunities to stage ambushes.
The realism of the environment was a big part of the FTX's success, said Staff Sgt. Tristan Caballes, the Forward Support Company's operations sergeant.
"This is one of the most realistic training exercises I have seen," he said. "It really benefits the Soldiers, because they have an idea of what a tactical convoy might look like in combat."
The training generated a great deal of positive feedback from Soldiers and junior leaders who enjoyed the opportunity to engage in uninterrupted training on their technical and tactical skills.
"It was a great experience and very motivational for the Soldiers who did this type of training for the first time," said Spc. Shamari Glover, a wheeled vehicle mechanic. "We learned and practiced a lot of real-world skills that will potentially save lives."

Odyssey client, NetApp was just given the honor of "Third Best Multinational Work Place" according to greatplacetowork.com. We are extremely proud, yet not surprised. Over the years they have been enthusiastic participants in our Life Cycles and Helping Hands programs. Throughout our partnership we have helped them deepen the individual and organizational 'Why' of their work. This has provided a more powerful perspective and context for answering the 'How' questions they strive towards:
How can we be more collaborative?
How can we be more innovative?
How can we improve quality?
How can we be more customer-centric?
How can we give more to the community?
They worked on the answer to each of these, and the by-products have been incredible amounts of bicycles built for (and given to) under privileged children and hundreds of prosthetic hands funded and built for amputees in developing countries. While other companies might do a charity event to check the box, NetApp understands the connective element to character, culture, contribution and customer. These Four C's are the building blocks of innovation, quality, customer-centricity, and community – and NetApp is not afraid to talk about it. Odyssey Teams has provided the structure and process for them to do this powerfully.
Not surprisingly, NetApp is now where people want to work and where they want to do business.
Well done, NetApp. The world is watching. Way to use your heads, hands and hearts!

Changing Colors & Dropping Leafs
Our world-renowned philanthropic team building programs are custom designed to match the goals/themes of the group. A charitable component is always in the mix. Often times during the leadership teambuilding sessions 'change' is in the mix too.
Our main office in Chico California is located across the street from the magnificent Bidwell Park. Over 3000 acres of +100 year old trees, creek, and trails that goes right through the heart of town. The office is the birthplace of the original Life Cycles program where teams build a bike for a deserving child. The park is a continual lesson in life and a touchstone.
Many of us Odyssey crew take to the park for solitude, recollections of loved ones, exercise and rejuvenation. The park is alive. Currently leaves are dropping off of the majestic oaks and sycamore trees. They fall at just the right time for each particular leaf. They fall quietly with grace rather than drama or hoopla. They provide a soft path for those around to stroll on. They provide precious sunlight during winter for the life in the woods. They provide space for new growth and possibility in the Spring – New growth in their beloved trees and in the new soil they helped create.
Change. Always in the mix…and often in our life changing philanthropic team-building events. We encourage leaders to explore what patterns, thoughts, and actions they can let drop. So they can have space to do many new amazing things for themselves and those around them.
A Good Way to Wake Up!
Our "give back" teambuilding programs wake people up. We like to say "Knock 'em Alive!" to our delivery team before we start our philanthropic sessions. Knock 'em Alive in the sense that we all can get a little lackadaisical with our thoughts, words, actions, patterns and perspectives.
During a recent Life Cycles program where teams build a bike for deserving children in Canada, the participants indeed woke up.
They woke up to…
– Seeing some new (positive, helpful, encouraging) things in each other.
– Seeing how their actions (while their intent is good) may be causing mischief for others.
– Seeing new possibilities for the challenges that are ahead.
– Seeing and feeling more alive, ambitious, and connected to each other and their work.
– Seeing that learning and change can be fun at times too.
It is healthy for people and teams to wake up, dust off the cobwebs, mix it up, look at things from a different perspective etc. To be a world-class team it is imperative to do so.
…And they thought they were just doing a 'give back' team-building event 😉
Healing Odyssey
Before creating philanthropic teambuilding that gives back to the community through our Life Cycles program (where teams build a bike for children in local communities; Helping Hands and others, Odyssey Teams used outdoor experiences like 'The Edge' to help people move beyond fear – both real and perceived. And no program was more important to us than Healing Odyssey, a cancer survivor's retreat for women conducted in the hills above Santa Barbara.
'The Edge' describes a literal cliff where women would hang their toes over the edge and stand tall in their harness with outstretched arms. Connected to ropes from behind, with eyes wide-open, they would lean out at a 45-degree angle beyond the Edge. Beyond the literal Edge is the Edge that lives in all of us. It is an end, a beginning, a place to avoid, or lean into, and so much more.

Odyssey Travels to Brazil with One of the Top Five "Fortune 500" Companies – Part 2
I was struck by their ability to apply the Odyssey philosophies in the moment. They transferred the training content to specific work challenges with ease; I felt their hunger for the secret formula to world-class performance. They dove into the concepts and experience like a hungry pelican for a fish. They took notes with a feverish desire to grow and learn, asking questions of me and each other to be sure they understood and felt ready to apply. With the aid of an interpreter booth and my headset, English and Portuguese blended into a steady stream of learning and enlightenment. As we closed the session with our Philanthropic Bike-Building module, the impact of the entire experience was palpable. We ended with a sense of accomplishment and celebration.

Calling what I just did in Brazil with the CEO and his top 45 people just plane old "Team Building is like calling the iPhone just another cell phone. I did a Team Building program for a Brazilian leadership team with 90,000 employees and billions in sales, yet for the past three years they have not achieved their goals. The words for the day from the President and CEO were: "motivation, inspiration, vision, alignment, strategy, values, decision-making, prioritization and culture". This was a tall order for a 9-hour Team Building program that led into a two-day strategy meeting. I stepped in front of the leadership committee in our pre meeting with a promise that I could and would deliver! I needed their commitment to apply the concepts of the day towards every behavior following the meeting. This was a warning that if they did not follow through, the entire meeting would be a waste. If the Team Building concepts are lost, the team mentality will also be lost.
The Rebuilding of a Brand: The Possibilites are Endless
The Rebuilding of a Brand: The Possibilites are Endless
I dropped by the Apple Store in NYC after doing a program for Microsoft. I know… seems strange and almost unethical. It was research. I didn't buy anything, but I wanted to see what all the buzz was about. As a partner to Microsoft, I asked myself, "What could I do to provide leadership and teambuilding programs for Microsoft that could support the rebirth of the Microsoft brand and the cutting edge culture that was once the norm for them?"
I walked into a store filled with almost 1,000 shoppers acting like it was the closing bell on Wall Street. Over 900 employees keep the store buzzing 24 hours a day, never closing! I was shocked at the brand, the culture and the emotion of the customer. One dominant thought filled my head, "we do judge a book by its cover". The Apple cover is really cool and has the attention of the world. The vibe, the look, the image and emotional experience are almost overwhelming. Real I.T. geeks compare Apple users to a person that sees "50 shades of gray" as a well-written novel. Most of us don't use our computers to their potential. The true techno person can tell you all the reasons the Microsoft platform is better, but I think the masses see it for the cover and the emotion, "buying an Apple product will make me cool."
The challenge of Sales Managers and other bottom line movers:
The challenge of Sales Managers and other bottom line movers:
The drive for results and meeting shareholder (and analysts) expectations requires growth in revenues and/or reduction costs to impact share price/value. The growth objective lands squarely on the shoulders of every sales manager, CEO, CFO and virtually everyone else in a for-profit business. The question that stirs their soul is how to achieve this growth…yet again? How to push the envelope…yet again? How do we meet the number…yet again?
The answer to this question inevitably leads to another question in the 'how' tree but starts to include those who can do something about it… people, the team, humans. How can we motivate people and teams into the actions required? How can we encourage and incentivize them to reach this new level? How can we create more synergy, more collaboration?
Environment and Opportunity!
Environment and Opportunity!
220 people changed the lives of 44 youth and vice versa. This all took place in a warehouse in East Los Angeles via our capstone Philanthropic Team Building Life Cycles Program.
As the lead facilitator I had some work cut out for me. The physical environment/meeting space was a challenge. It felt like I was trying to do surgery in a swamp-infested jungle with mosquitos buzzing around everywhere and pythons dropping down from the trees. However, the participants were outstanding…optimistic, engaging, and willing to take on whatever we put on the agenda. The result was a huge victory for all involved.
Small Team Builds Hands and Changes Lives
Small Team Builds Hands and Changes Lives
When I was asked to do our Helping Hands philanthropic teambuilding program for a group of six people, I reluctantly agreed. My favorite size groups delivering Helping Hands, Life Cycles Build-a bike program and our others has been in the hundreds of participants range. I wasn't sure how the build-up activities and conversations would go before assembling the LN-4 Prosthetic Hands.
This small group was from Cisco – Latin America and they just blew me away. Yes, the Latino culture lives up to its reputation of being a passionate culture.
These six have much to teach the rest of us about teamwork and leadership from a place of thinking deeply AND feeling deeply. They came to the states for a larger meeting with cohorts from North America. They wanted to align on desired outcomes and make a difference for others in the process.
What a difference they made for three people whose lives will be changed by receiving the new LN-4 prosthetic hands they built during the Helping Hands program. Most surprisingly, however, is the difference they made on me. I am digging small programs now just as much as the large ones – with the caveat that they're ready to think deeply and feel deeply as this group did.

Remote sensing technology has a large potential to change methods of survey and monitoring. However, there are several factors which should be investigated and developed before incorporating remote sensing technology into practical work.
Through the regional capacity development technical assistance on "Applying Remote Sensing Technology in River Basin Management", ADB is helping the Government of the Philippines to increase capacity in flood risk management by utilizing satellite-based precipitation data. This inception workshop will introduce the project to relevant stakeholders.
This inception workshop will share
- benefits of remote sensing technology to various sectors in Philippines; and
- work plan of the Philippine in-country component of the regional capacity development technical assistance for Applying Remote Sensing Technology in River Basin Management.
This workshop is organized jointly by ADB, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).
Expected outcomes
At the end of the workshop, participants are expected to have shared understanding of:
- benefits and needs of remote sensing applications in the Philippines;
- work plan of the Philippine in-country component of the TA; and
- information on flood risk management activities in the Cagayan River basin, the target basin of the TA.
Expected participants
Expected participants include staff members of national and local governments of the Philippines responsible for water-related disaster risk management as well as other sectors benefitted from remote sensing applications. Representatives from the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), PAGASA, National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC)/Office of Civil Defense (OCD), Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), National Mapping and Resource Information Authority (NAMRIA), Bureau of Agricultural Statistics (BAS), and local governments are expected to attend.Stay up to date Subscribe to our newsletter and get the latest issues, news, events, jobs and data in your e-mail inbox.

Peoples reviews prior to mine said that breakfast exceeded their expectations. Unfortunately, I didn't have the same experience. Nice location though for price.
June 14, 2013
Very clean and comfortable. We were in room 703 and the view was awesome. It would have been equally great from 603 or 503. The breakfast was very nice with a variety of things to choose from, although I would have liked more fruit- (apples only). There was plenty of hot water, but the pressure was minimal. Easy walk to stores and restaurants. Would stay again.
April 24, 2013
The hotel location is really convenient to shops, restaurants, the lake, and walking trails. We liked the room with amenities (microwave, small fridge, hair dryer, coffee maker, free wi-fi, etc.), but the bed and shower were not up to par. For the price, we had higher expectations, but it's really about the locations. The breakfast was nice, with lots of options. There were several types of cereal, fresh waffles, toast, french toast, boil eggs, bagels, coffee, tea, hot cocoa, juices, milk, pastries, and yogurt. ...

Hirschsprung's Disease Directory
Hirschsprung's disease is a developmental disorder that results in a lack of nerves within the gastrointestinal tract. With Hirschsprung's disease, the colonic nerves that normally push out waste malfunction and prevent that waste from escaping. This causes pain, infection, and constipation. Hirschsprung's disease may be genetic and may be related to other birth defects. Surgery can remove the affected area of the intestines in infants, which usually clears up the problem, though mild symptoms may persist for a while. Follow the links below to find WebMD's comprehensive coverage about how Hirschsprung's disease is caused, what the symptoms and treatments are, and much more.
