Forget it, I can't escape this. I'll have to say what really happened.
Dorian let me use his laptop right. Dorian went to the store to buy liquor. It was Ether, Pretty boy32, Larryx and Gully Gad with some other ladies chilling in Dorian's living room. I went to the bathroom to take a leak, come back and see Ether using Dorian's laptop. I tell him "yo Ether, Dorian let me use his laptop" Ether says "**** off, i'm talking to my ***** on AIM"...so i'm like "Oh...it's like that?"...so Ether is like "Yeah it's like that son, pop off or sit down lil homie"
Gully Gad interrupts us and offers some weed and beer that he had brought to try to calm us down. I'm like "Oh hell naw, Ether disrespected me..I ain't staying like that man"...So i take Dorian's laptop and Ether grabs on to it too..Larry and Prettyboy32 stand up and try to hold us back cos they saw it was getting serious and ****. They try to calm us down. Ether throws a tantrum and says "Yo man you crossed the line, I was talking to my girl...you're mad grimey, dawgs"...i'm like "Fuk your girl! n!gga, she's a hoe with AIDS".
Right there and then, Dorian finally comes back. As he opens the door, me and Ether had a little scuffle while i was also holding Dorian's laptop. So Ether pushes me and i go off balance and drop Dorian's laptop real hard. Dorian looks at me like "is this n!gga serious?"...Ether says "You done fuked up now son"..Larry and PB32 come from the kitchen cos they heard all the noise. Larry says "yo what's goin on Mafia members ya'll dancin without me?"....Gully explains to Dorian what happened. PB32 tries to calm everything down and sit us down to eat dinner that the ladies cooked up. Dorian was still speechless at the moment.
Moments later, everyone is sitting down at the table. Dorian was staring right at me with a real bad look, he hadn't even touch his food. I was making believe I didn't notice him looking at me. Dorian finally speaks.."Kev, you better pay me my 1300 dollars that I paid for that lap top"...I'm like "But Ether pushed me...he has to pay half"...Larry tries to change the subject at the table by saying "Yo..any news on Pacquiao-Mayweather...what are your thoughts on this fight Dorian?"...Dorian says "My thoughts are that Kevin has to pay me my 1300 dollars"..Ether jumps in and says "I'll pay half..it was partially my fault"...Dorian says "No, I held kev responsible for it..he should pay it himself"...Ether leaves home because he felt bad.
Minutes later, we were all still at the dinner table, except for Ether. Dorian keeps telling me I have to pay his lap top. Gully, Larry and PB32 were all quiet because they didn't want to get in. I said "You know what Dorian? fuk you man. I thought we were bros
That's my side of the story.

WTF?! It's only November.
November 6, 2007 Leave a comment Go to comments
That's what I said as I cruised down auto row this evening on the way home with teriyaki take away. The big dealership already had Christmas decorations up. Yes. Gaudy tinsel scenes hanging from the multitude of light poles, lit up like the Vegas strip. C'mon folks, it's only the 5th of November. Aren't we supposed to wait until at least Thanksgiving? That and I saw Christmas commercials this week. When will the madness stop? Then my wife tells me they've had decorations up at the malls since before Halloween! It just ain't right.
I've seen a lot of helmet related posts out there lately, but this one here takes the cake. 'Tis why I wear a helmet in the first place.

Beating data center energy hogs with energy-efficient technology
With an ever increasing amount of data driving the need for data transfer and storage, it is more important now than ever for data centers to manage their energy use in the most efficient way possible.
"Data center managers are under constant pressure to lower the TCO (total cost of ownership) and energy is one of the main components of the overall data center operation cost," said Frost & Sullivan Energy & Power Systems industry analyst Gautham Gnanajothi. "In an existing data center the most effective method to reduce the TCO is to employ energy-efficient solutions in the key areas of power and cooling."
As mission critical facilities, data centers must employ high powered (but still highly efficient) uninterruptible power supply (UPS), and cooling and HVAC systems.
Typical UPS systems consume 7 percent of the data center's energy while cooling and HVAC systems account for half of the energy consumption. Using the most energy efficient system, then, is critically important.
Modular UPS systems are of the more highly efficient systems that also address the issue of floor space in the data center. Innovative cooling solutions like fresh air free cooling will lower energy costs.

The Dependency of African Women On Hair Relaxers is Truly Worrisome
|Posted by The Reunion Black Family on March 30, 2014 at 5:05 AM
The dependency of African Women on Hair relaxers is truly worrisome especially as most women are not well informed about the chemicals present in these relaxers. Women relax their hair at least once every month and this ritual continues mostly for the rest of their lives. Being exposed to potentially harmful chemicals in small doses for a long period of time is whats absolutely scary. Hair companies do not print all the chemicals present in black hair products, if they did they'd probably go out of business.
I realize there isn't a lot of advocacy on this issue which is also interesting as i would assume people would want to know more about what they put in their hair, and once they know its harmful, would want to spread the message across to others. I always hypothesized that the use of relaxers, in the long run would cause some sort of ailment. But like all scientific hypothesis, it has to be tested. Seeing I'm just a young Scientist with no fancy lab or high tech equipment to call my own, i decided to do what scientists do best which is to find some sort of evidence..but this time using good old Google. I'm happy to say i found a recent study on this.
A new study in the American Journal of Epidemiology has linked hair relaxers to uterine fibroids, as well as early puberty in young girls.
Scientists followed more than 23,000 pre-menopausal Black American women from 1997 to 2009 and found that the two- to three-times higher rate of fibroids among black women may be linked to chemical exposure through scalp lesions and burns resulting from relaxers.
Women who got their first menstrual period before the age of 10 were also more likely to have uterine fibroids, and early menstruation may result from hair products black girls are using, according to a separate study published in the Annals of Epidemiology last summer.
Three hundred African American, African Caribbean, Hispanic, and White women in New York City were studied. The women's first menstrual period varied anywhere from age 8 to age 19, but African Americans, who were more likely to use straightening and relaxers hair oils, also reached menarche earlier than other racial/ethnic groups.
While so far, there is only an association rather than a cause and effect relationship between relaxers, fibroid tumors, and puberty, many experts have been quick to point out that the hair care industry isn't regulated by the FDA, meaning that there's no definite way to fully know just how harmful standard Black hair care products really are.
Fibroid Facts
Fibroids are tumors that grow in the uterus. They are benign, which means they are not cancerous, and are made up of muscle fibers. Fibroids can be as small as a pea and can grow as large as a melon. It is estimated that 20-50% of women have, or will have, fibroids at some time in their lives.
From lessons in Epidemiology, i learnt that A might be associated with B but not the cause of B. In this case the study found that there is only an association rather than a cause and effect relationship between relaxers and fibroid tumors. In lay terms this means relaxers are associated with fibroid tumours but relaxers are not the reason why people get fibroid according to this study
Escape to Belgium : Up Close with Isabella Broekhuizen
I really love to see my Beautiful Black sistas throwing down science and being empowering. I like to see that they understand some to many of the aspects of what we are facing as a whole as Black people. But I would like to ask you sista, When are you going to take off that wig, weave, and relaxer out your head to get a higher sense of clarity that only can happen when you love and accept yourself for who you TRULY are, A Black woman.
P. S : As soon as they stop thinking that European women are prettier with that straight hair...
Escape to Belgium : Up Close with Isabella Broekhuizen
Scalp damage from chemical hair straightener burns (Image from African Health Magazine)
Results of the pioneer study which was published through the Oxford University Press and made available in the American Journal of Epidemiology (Januar
y 2012) involved the following of over 23,000 premenopausal women for incidents of uterine leiomyomata.
Amongst other criteria participants reported on was their age when first using hair straighteners, the type of formula applied and the frequency of burns they received. It is widely accepted that millions of African women who expose themselves to chemical straighteners may be absorbing potentially harmful chemicals like parabens and phthalates into their blood stream through scalp lesions and burns.
The study which proves correlation and asserts causality has faced strong opposition from those determined to continue the 'relaxing' process despite the negative effects of these chemicals which can also be absorbed through the skin.
This resistance which is believed to be symptomatic of sufferers of body dysmorphic syndromes is similar to the manner in which some users seek to normalise the practice of using carcinogenic skin whitening (bleaching) products to achieve an imagined but unsustainable cosmetic goal.
Tragically many younger women are initially opposed to using chemical hair products but often adjust this view after being introduced or culturally indoctrinated into the 'relaxing' process by their mothers and an older generation seeking to conform to a beauty aesthetic unnatural to themselves.
Child Abuse: Good Hair?
Toxic industrial compounds
Controversial 'beauty' aids designed to alter the natural features of their users often contain potentially harmful active ingredients like parabens and in particular phthalates, a toxic industrial compound widely used to soften and increase the flexibility of plastic and vinyl.
Yet whilst these chemicals can be absorbed into the skin, more damage is done with the use of chemicals hair straighteners due to the way they burn the scalp, exposing the body to their negative health effects.
Analysis of the data collected revealed that whilst the risk of fibroids was unrelated to the age at first use or the type of formula used, the systematic exposure to phthalates through scalp lesions significantly increased their risk of developing uterine leiomyomata. It also showed that those women who used the chemicals more than seven times during a year developed uterine fibroids more often.
Fibroids are tumors that grow in the uterus in women of childbearing age. Their growth is dependent on estrogen production. Research suggest they occur several (up to nine) times more often in African women than european women. Uterine fibroids are the single most common indication for hysterectomy. Up to half of women with fibroids have no symptoms until between the ages of 30 and 50 years
depending on their size, position and condition.
The Dependency of African Women On Hair Relaxers is Truly Worrisome
A History of Black Hair From the 1400s to Present
1444: Europeans trade on the west coast of Africa with people wearing elaborate hairstyles, including locks, plaits and twists.
1619: First slaves brought to Jamestown; African language, culture and grooming tradition begin to disappear.
1700s: Calling black hair "wool," many whites dehumanize slaves. The more elaborate African hairstyles cannot be retained.
1800s: Without the combs and herbal treatments used in Africa, slaves rely on bacon grease, butter and kerosene as hair conditioners and cleaners. Lighter-skinned, straight-haired slaves command higher prices at auction than darker, more kinky-haired ones. Internalizing color consciousness, blacks promote the idea that blacks with dark skin and kinky hair are less attractive and worth less.
1865: Slavery ends, but whites look upon black women who style their hair like white women as well-adjusted. "Good" hair becomes a prerequisite for entering certain schools, churches, social groups and business networks.
1880: Metal hot combs, invented in 1845 by the French, are readily available in the United States. The comb is heated and used to press and temporarily straighten kinky hair.
1900s: Madame C.J. Walker develops a range of hair-care products for black hair. She popularizes the press-and-curl style. Some criticize her for encouraging black women to look white.
1910: Walker is featured in the Guinness Book of Records as the first American female self-made millionaire.
1920s: Marcus Garvey, a black nationalist, urges followers to embrace their natural hair and reclaim an African aesthetic.
1954: George E. Johnson launches the Johnson Products Empire with Ultra Wave Hair Culture, a "permanent" hair straightener for men that can be applied at home. A women's chemical straightener follows.

Without a doubt, uShip's "Find Shipments" tool is the most important feature on the site for service providers. Today, after months of taking in transporter feedback and weeks of beta testing, the load finding tool "has had a little work done," as they say.
uShip's enhanced version of "Find Shipments" addresses key and consistent pieces of feedback from transporters, whose input included improved ability to locate specialized shipments in any region, ways to more quickly narrow search results along a route, and generally, higher-quality search results.
Most importantly, the new Find Shipments lets international service providers locate deliveries between any two countries (or groups of countries) in the world.
Summary of New Features:
Filters and searches have been consolidated to the left side of the page
Improved origin/destination search
Simply enter a city, state or zip code in either box to locate shipments.
This replaces the "Along a Route" tool.
Service Providers can now combine different filters for origin and destination.
Examples: Enter a city as the origin, and select multiple US states as the destination. Or, enter a US state as the origin and select multiple countries as the destination.
New "All" tab allows for Country-to Country search
For international transport listings, locate the country or continent in the "All" tab.
This is perhaps the most significant update, allowing providers to add international origin/destination criteria to any search.
"Map View" allows providers to visually locate shipments that start/end in any area
To view listings specific to any region, simply zoom the map to the desired area. Click on balloons to view details of any shipment on the map.
By default, if the map is moved, the listings below will automatically filter to that area.
** Don't want to see the map? **
To disable the map and view all listings with your "Refine Search" criteria, click "Disable Map Filter."
"Zoom to Area" feature
Enter any country, city or zip code and the map will zoom to that area.
Tips for Using "Map View"
- As you update filters under "Refine Search" on the left (Category, Origin/Destination, Pricing, etc.), the map will ONLY display shipments reflecting those criteria.
- Green balloons represent an origin, and red balloons a destination.
- Yellow boxes represent "clusters" of shipments. Zoom in on those areas to view more detail.
- You can view shipments that specifically start, or end, in the displayed map area by choosing an option under "Show shipments that: "
Important Notes for Service Providers
- Search functionality has been expanded. However, any listings search you performed in the past can still be completed with the new interface.
- Remember, you can "undo" any search criteria on the left by clicking "Clear" or "Reset all filters."
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact our support team at uShip.com/Support. We welcome your questions, comments and feedback!

These panelists of trade volunteers are not involved for publicity or for their industry position as critics or members of the press. They are the decision makers, experts and willing supporters of the craft who, NYIBC says, have an authentic understanding of the business of buying and selling beer.
Each product category in the competition has a sub category for pricing. Therefore, a beer will be judged in its category along with other beers in the same price range. Each category will have its own pricing levels and details are listed on the submission form. For example, a $7.99 six-pack of American Style Wheat will be placed into a judging category with a $8.99 six-pack of American Style Wheat and not a $13.99 one
Brands will be rated on a set of criteria including appearance, aroma, taste, mouthfeel and finish. Each beer will be tasted blindly. Upon completion of the tastings, panelists will confer and decide which samples are award worthy.
Award levels are Double Gold, Gold, Silver, and Bronze:
- Double Gold: Phenomenal Product for Buyers
- Gold: Buyers "Love" It
- Silver: Buyers "Like" It
- Bronze: Buyers will purchase it
Double Gold award winners will be re-tasted by all panelists to establish which brands may be eligible to receive a 'Best of Category' endorsement in their pricing category.
The competition is open to all domestic and international commercial brewers. Beers do not need to be sold or imported into the U.S. to participate.

NEW BEDFORD — Doris J. (Dumas) Brisson, age 94, of New Bedford, passed away Saturday, June 28, 2014 at St. Luke's Hospital from sudden cardiac arrest. She was the beloved wife of the late Alcide Brisson, with whom she shared 60 years of marriage.
Born in New Bedford, daughter of the late Theodore and Rosalba (Lefevre) Dumas, she was a life-long area resident and graduated from New Bedford High School in 1937. She later worked as an Assembler and Inspector at Cornell Dubilier for over twenty five years, retiring in 1984.
Doris enjoyed gardening and always maintained a beautiful, flower-filled back yard. She was very proud to be driving and living independently in her own home well into her nineties, until a sudden decline in health earlier this year. Her favorite recreation was card-playing; she played in several leagues each week. She also enjoyed visiting local casinos to play slot machines (poker slots, of course!). She even had her very own regulation slot machine which her son had purchased for her.
Widely admired for her natural elegance, good taste and sharp wit, Doris loved dogs, swing music, Doo-Wop, gameshows, and understood the importance of dessert. She enjoyed reading biographies, particularly about screen stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood. The daughter of a cinema projectionist, she loved watching movies her whole long life, and even in her nineties continued to hit the movie theatre with her adult grandchildren, whom she affectionately called "the young stuff."
Doris exemplified integrity, beauty, resourcefulness and hard work the entirety of her life. In the same way she was loved, she will be missed...dearly and greatly.
Survivors include: a son, Richard Brisson and his wife Jean of New Bedford and Florida; seven grandchildren, Christopher, Michael, Jason, Jackie Beth, Jeremy, Jonathan and Jessica Brisson; several great-grandchildren; a daughter-in-law, Jayne M. Brisson of Dartmouth; several nieces and nephews. She is predeceased by her son, Ronald Brisson, and her brothers, Wilfred and Theodore Dumas.
Arrangements are in the care of Waring-Sullivan Dartmouth.

Light heavyweight champ Bernard Hopkins has continued to deny Father Time with his ageless antics in the squared circle, and will look to do so yet again in the first defense of his RING and WBC belts against Chad Dawson Saturday night at Staples Center in Los Angeles.
After winning the IBF middleweight title from Segundo Mercado on April 29, 1995, Hopkins went on to defend it with knockouts against the likes of Oscar De La Hoya, Felix Trinidad, Robert Allen, Simon Brown, Glen Johnson, John David Jackson and Carl Daniels.
Overall, he successfully defended his belt a record 20 times before losing to Jermain Taylor by a split decision on July 16, 2005.
After that fight, and a subsequent rematch loss, Hopkins garnered victories over Antonio Tarver, Winky Wright, Kelly Pavlik, Enrique Ornelas, and Roy Jones at light heavyweight. His only loss was a split-decision against Joe Calzaghe.
The other blemish on Hopkins' record was a fight with 28-year-old Jean Pascal in December of last year, in which Hopkins rose from knockdowns in the first and third rounds to salvage a disputed draw.
To end the controversy a rematch was signed, and in May the 46-year-old Hopkins (52-5-2, 32 KOs) became the oldest man to win a significant crown with a unanimous decision over Pascal.
Hopkins' feat surpassed that of George Foreman, who was 45 when his 10th-round knockout of Michael Moorer made him the oldest man to win a heavyweight title in November of 1994.
But Dawson (30-1, 17 KOs), a 29-year-old southpaw, is out to prove himself under the weight of criticism regarding his allegedly fragile psyche.
Even Hopkins has questioned the inner toughness of Dawson, who bounced back from an 11th-round technical decision loss to Pascal in August of last year by out-pointing former titleholder Adrian Diaconu in May.
Nearly a month ago to the day, Dawson made the switch from legendary trainer Manny Steward to a former instructor John Scully, and also has sought advisory assistance from ex-titleholder Winky Wright, a southpaw whom Hopkins already has vanquished.
Hopkins is 10-1, with five knockouts and a no contest against southpaws, and looks to make Dawson yet another left-handed victim.
RingTV.com gathered the opinions of 12 knowledgeable observers as to what they believe will transpire on Saturday night.
In the end, I think Dawson's youth, athleticism and lanky frame will carry him to a tight and controversial points victory to claim the lineal and RING light heavyweight championship.
Kevin Cunningham, trainer of former WBC/IBF junior welterweight beltholder Devon Alexander
That wasn't because I thought that Pascal was so much more the superior fighter. But it was because me and Bernard, we're the same age. I'll be 47 in December, and Bernard will be 47 in January. So, I just couldn't believe that he could pull it off.
But after that rematch with Pascal, and seeing that he's still got his reflexes, his ability and his agility, and most off all, Bernard beats these guys mentally. He takes their minds and then he breaks their body down throughout the fight.
So, I mean, I can never pick against Bernard again for those reasons. I'm just picking Bernard to win the fight. I pick Bernard to win a decision.
Doug Fischer, Editor of RingTV.com
Bernard Hopkins W 12 Chad Dawson: Bernard Hopkins by close, perhaps controversial, decision. I think Chad Dawson will give the 46-year-old champ fits during the early rounds with his stiff jab, quick combinations and constant lateral movement.
Dawson might even hurt or drop Hopkins at some point during the first four rounds. But I think the future Hall of Famer will time Dawson with counter-right hands and left hooks in the middle rounds of the bout and gradually slow down the pace of the fight with a number of veteran tactics — most legal, some, not-so legal.
The older man will take the fight to the young challenger in the final rounds, scoring to the body as he forces Dawson back on his heels. Hopkins will do his best to close the show inside the distance, but he'll have to settle for a narrow points win that some — mainly Dawson and promoter Gary Shaw — vehemently dispute.
Norm Frauenheim, www.15rounds.com
Hence, he has stayed busy, maintaining skills, instincts and know-how acquired over 23 years. Only five months have passed since his rematch victory over Jean Pascal. The irony is that Chad Dawson, whose only loss is to Pascal, would seem to have time on his side.
At 29, he's the much younger man. He'll still have time enough to establish himself, figure out who he is. For Hopkins, however, it'll be too late. Dawson squandered critical weeks with a late switch in early September from trainer Emanuel Steward for a reunion with John Scully.
By the time, he re-establishes a working relationship with Scully, Hopkins will have an insurmountable lead on the scorecards.
Virgil Hunter, trainer of WBA super middleweight titleholder Andre Ward
He's had three or four trainers in the last few years, and each one brings a different philosophy and different elements to the table. I'm sure that's affected him somewhat mentally. Depending on what type of relationship that he has with John Scully, if he can bypass all of the things that he picked after their first departing and come back intact to their beginning, I'm sure that would be beneficial.
I think Bernard has some mid-range area advantages, where Chad is not allowed to work at arm's length, and where he's forced to work from Bernard's chosen length. I think that Bernard has the ability to shorten that space, neutralize his reach and to make him defend in an offense that he's not accustomed to defending.
I know that Dawson was successful against Glen Johnson, but Glen Johnson more or less walks to you in the same cadence. So it was easy for Chad to pick up on him and to time him. But Bernard can get there get in so many ways and make adjustments as to which mid-range arsenal he wants to use. I could see a unanimous decision or a stoppage by Bernard.
I've seen Chad down, and I've seen him hurt with the types of punches that Bernard throws pretty accurately. I wouldn't be surprised if it came to that, but I would look for a Hopkins to win a unanimous decision.

If You're Thinking of Living In /Kips Bay; Cohesive, With a Relaxed Ambiance
By JOYCE COHEN
Published: April 11, 1999
KIPS BAY may be one of the East Side's more murkily defined areas. But it's a resolutely urban hybrid -- quintessential metropolitan neighborhood, ethnic enclave, institutional alley and midtown business district -- that has seen steady growth over the last two decades or so.
''It's a comprehensive neighborhood,'' said Arlene Tesar, a real-estate agent at Douglas Elliman. ''It's a family neighborhood, though you wouldn't think about the East 20's and 30's that way. On Park Avenue South, the commercial office market has had a resurgence, so young office types are able to walk to work in five minutes. They have everything.''
The few things they don't have are nearby. For example, there is little parkland in the Kips Bay area, which extends from 23d to 34th Street and Lexington Avenue to the East River. But ''Madison Square Park, Union Square, these are just a jump away,'' said Ms. Tesar. So are Kennedy and La Guardia Airports, with the Queens-Midtown Tunnel right at hand.
The centerpiece of the area is the 1,122-unit Kips Bay Towers condominium, two boxy, concrete-and-glass buildings designed by I. M. Pei and completed in 1963. The complex, originally a rental known as Kips Bay Plaza, rises from a large, grassy courtyard and forms a community unto itself.
''I'm godfather to a couple of kids here,'' said Jackson Koffman, a lawyer who lives in Kips Bay Towers. ''Kids are constantly at each other's houses. It's big enough you don't feel your privacy is impinged upon, but small enough that it's like a small town.''
He feels similarly about the Kips Bay area outside the bounds of the condominium. ''I still go to the dry cleaner I went to when I came here in 1981,'' Mr. Koffman said. ''Kips Bay has the dimensions of a real neighborhood as opposed to a bunch of buildings in the same area. It's easy to settle in and feel you're living in a cohesive community within the greater city of New York.''
Mark E. Zimmerman, another lawyer who lives in Kips Bay Towers, lived farther uptown, in the East 50's, before moving in nearly 30 years ago. ''I'm in my third unit, each one growing in size,'' said Mr. Zimmerman, president of the condominium board.
''I found Sutton Place too busy. I wanted a more relaxed environment. I found this to be unpretentious, friendly and real. I don't have to rely on public transportation. It's within walking distance of my office, the theater district and the Village, and if I'm going out of town I don't have to deal with going crosstown or uptown or downtown to reach the airports.''
And even though the subway is a bit of a walk from the eastern reaches of Kips Bay, there are three close-together stops on the Lexington line (which runs along Park Avenue South) -- 23d, 28th and 33d Streets.
KIPS BAY is named for Jacobus Henderson Kip, who owned a farm in the neighborhood in the mid-17th century. One local group, the Rosehill Community Association, maintains that the name Kips Bay refers to just the small area of the farm and that the surrounding neighborhood, extending west to Fifth Avenue, should be called Rosehill, after the much larger Rosehill Farm. That name, however, hasn't caught on.
''People say, 'Oh, gosh, I knew I lived somewhere but I didn't know where it was,' '' said Stuart Osnow, president of the Rosehill Community Association, formed about 20 years ago to deal with the high concentration of homeless people. (Another neighborhood group, the Lexington East Twenties Society, known as LETS, was formed 27 years ago to combat prostitution.)
''This neighborhood got dumped on because it didn't have an identity,'' with undesirables pushed in from its wealthier neighbors to the north and south, said Susan Slocum, president of LETS.
But some people now see that lack of identity, which ties in with the area's untrendiness, as a plus. ''A lot of people haven't discovered the neighborhood,'' said Larry Michaels, a Douglas Elliman broker. ''Sometimes people just want to be in an area that is not. It's not the Upper East Side, the East Village, the Flatiron. People connect with that.''
Housing in Kips Bay is varied, with modern high-rises on the corners and brownstones lining the side streets. Among the subsidized housing complexes is the 1,470-unit Waterside Plaza, a Mitchell-Lama rental project that juts into the East River, and the 1,601-unit Henry Phipps Plaza, a low- and moderate-income rental that fills four blocks in the high 20's along Second Avenue.
Real-estate agents term the area ''a sleeper,'' with prices still somewhat lower than elsewhere in Manhattan. But prices have risen substantially in the last year -- 40 percent or more for a one-bedroom condominium, and 25 percent for a two-bedroom, according to Ms. Tesar.
''Prices have definitely gone up, but they started something like 20 or 30 percent lower than in neighboring Gramercy Park or Murray Hill,'' said Brenda Spencer, president of Spencer Realty, adding that prices remain 10 to 15 percent less than those in the adjacent neighborhoods.
A full-service high-rise rental would run around $1,600 for a studio, Ms. Spencer said, and $2,000 or more for a one-bedroom. A one-bedroom condominium would be in the $300,000 range, and a one-bedroom co-op in the $225,000 range. ''Downtown has extended up to and embraced Kips Bay,'' said Ms. Tesar of Douglas Elliman. ''The boundary has pushed up. There's definitely a lot more popularity here, maybe because it's halfway between people's work and social lives.''

Italy navy finds 30 corpses in migrant boat
By The Associated Press
ROME - The Italian navy says some 30 people have died inside a packed smugglers' boat making its way to Italy.
RAI state radio says the navy's Grecale frigate rescued nearly 600 people from the fishing boat in the Canal of Sicily late Sunday. A navy spokeswoman said an estimated 30 bodies were discovered as well. The ANSA news agency said they were believed to have suffocated.
The navy says it rescued some 1,577 migrants over the weekend, adding to the nearly 60,000 who have made their way to Italy since the beginning of the year. That's compared to 42,000 in all of 2013.

Corner Bakery, Protector of New Year's Resolutions [1]
Read More About
After the indulgent feasts and high-calorie splurges of the holidays, it's no surprise that "go on a strict diet" tops many New Year's resolution lists. But while 62 percent of consumers say they plan to eat more healthfully in 2011, many complain about the taste of healthier food, according to a recent Mintel Research report. Making healthful eating easier year-round, Corner Bakery Cafe introduced an extended "100 Under 600" program featuring more than 100 different combinations of signature sandwiches, toasty panini, hand-tossed salads, or homemade soups, all under 600 calories.
"Fad diets always seem to emerge after the holidays, but don't typically last long," says Ric Scicchitano, Senior Vice President of Food and Beverage. "We believe our guests shouldn't have to sacrifice great taste in order to eat healthfully. That's why we offer an extensive selection of prepared-to-order Corner Combos year-round, so they can enjoy great-tasting yet sensible meals without making drastic changes to their diet."

Twelfth Night, or What You Will

Twelfth Night, or What You Will Foolishness and Folly Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Act.Scene.Line). Line numbers correspond to the Norton edition.
Quote #10
Alas, poor fool, how have they baffled thee! (5.1.392)
Olivia's sympathetic response to the revelation that Malvolio has been duped seems to be the only voice of compassion directed at Malvolio's folly. How do you respond to the prank on Malvolio? Do you read it as a funny situation that shouldn't be taken seriously? Or, do you respond to it as a dark, disturbing element in an otherwise light-hearted play? Something else?
Quote #11
O, he's drunk, Sir Toby, an hour agone; his eyes
were set at eight i' th' morning. (5.1.208-209)
When Toby asks for "Dick" the surgeon after Sebastian bloodies his face, Feste informs him that the doctor is unavailable. In any other play, the lack of available medical help for a wounded man would be tragic. In Twelfth Night, however, the situation is comedic. In a play where just about everyone engages in outlandish behavior, even the doctor is too drunk to function.

PRATTVILLE, Ala. — Lexi Thompson made a little more history in the Navistar LPGA Classic, opening her title defense with a career-best 9-under 63 to match the tournament record on Thursday.
Last year, Thompson became the youngest champion in LPGA Tour history at age 16, winning by five strokes. Fifteen-year-old amateur Lydia Ko broke the record last month in the Canadian Women's Open.
Thompson had nine birdies in her bogey-free round on the links-style Senator course at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail's Capitol Hill complex.

At Midland, Texas, Jason Allred shot a 1-under-par 71, giving him a share of 37th place in the first round of the WNB Golf Classic at the Midland Country Club.
The Ashland native is five shots off the lead, which is held by Aaron Goldberg and Jamie Lovemark, who fired 66s.
Allred made five birdies and four bogeys. He began an up-and-down back nine with back-to-back bogeys but recovered by birdieing three of the next four holes.

The man accused of murdering Sunshine Coast teenager Daniel Morcombe confessed to the crime after being netted in an undercover police operation, a court has been told.
The trial of the accused, 44-year-old Brett Peter Cowan, began in Brisbane's Supreme Court on Tuesday after the jury was selected on Monday.

Cowan 'confessed' to Morcombe murder
An "elaborate" undercover police operation saw Brett Peter Cowan allegedly confess to Daniel Morcombe's murder and show officers where he left the body, but he "never got to molest him".
In his opening statement, Crown prosecutor Michael Byrne QC told the jury Mr Cowan told "new-found friends" in 2011, some eight years after Daniel disappeared, that he killed the 13-year-old schoolboy.
"He took these people and showed them where he'd left the body," Mr Byrne said.
"His so-called new found friends were in fact undercover police officers."
Mr Byrne said Mr Cowan had provided a "complete confession" to the charges against him.
Mr Cowan is charged with one count each of murder, indecently dealing with a child under the age of 16 and unlawfully dealing with a corpse.
He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Daniel disappeared from a bus stop under the Kiel Mountain Road overpass on the Sunshine Coast sometime between 2pm and 2.15pm on December 7, 2003, the court heard.
"He was dead a short time later, almost certainly within an hour," Mr Byrne said.
The court will hear from a number of witnesses who saw a boy, matching Daniel's description, standing under the overpass, Mr Byrne said.
He also said a number of witnesses would recall seeing a blue car stopped nearby.
"There was at least one blue car near ... the area of the overpass," he said.
"But our case does deny that the occupant or occupants of those cars had any material role in the abduction and murder of Daniel Morcombe."
The trial, which has been set down for six weeks, will hear from up to 158 witnesses, including bus drivers, students, retirees and a zoologist.
Cowan pleads not guilty
The family of Daniel Morcombe attend the trial of Brett Peter Cowan Monday, accused of murdering their son who went missing more than 10 years ago. Nine News
The covert police operatives from Western Australia, known only as numbers 452, 483 and 392, are also included in the list of potential witnesses.
The trial continues.

A former consignment shop owner in New Hampshire has been sentenced to a year in jail for stealing toys from major stores and selling them to area consignment and toy shops.
Meredith Moore-Flores of Merrimack pleaded guilty to taking the toys from stores such as Target and Toys R Us in Nashua. She returned some of the toys and paid nearly $2,000 to the corporations for the incidents committed in 2011.
The Telegraph reports Target's "assets protection" in-house investigative team initially began looking into Moore-Flores in August 2011.
Employees of the Toys R Us and Target were warned to be on the lookout for the 35-year-old after some high-end Lego box sets went missing from a store and she showed up on camera.

One mystery of U.S. politics is why the president's party regularly loses congressional seats at midterm. Although presidential coattails and their withdrawal provide a partial explanation, coattails cannot account for the fact that the presidential party typically performs worse than normal at midterm. This paper addresses the midterm vote separate from the presidential year vote, with evidence from generic congressional polls conducted during midterm election years. Polls early in the midterm year project a normal vote result in November. But as the campaign progresses, vote preferences almost always move toward the out party. This shift is not a negative referendum on the president, as midterms do not show a pattern of declining presidential popularity or increasing salience of presidential performance. The shift accords with "balance" theory, where the midterm campaign motivates some to vote against the party of the president in order to achieve policy moderation.

text: I was pondering this question, I am starting a new haunted attraction and I was thinking about other places that I have herd of having 2-4 hour waits to get in. Now this, to me sounded like ,well it must be good if people are willing to wait that long. The place we are opening ,in my calculations has the ability to run 30 people thru every 3 mins, so thats 20 groups an hour or 600 people. or should I reduce the number going thru till i have a wait line of 45mins to an hour? I dont think I want people to say they walked right in, they may think that the attraction its not that good. what do u guys think?

TO: Jasmine Saros, Convener
Academic Program Review Committee
FROM: Carmen Wilson, Chair
Faculty Senate
RE: Committee Charge for 2006-2007 Academic Year
This memo is intended to serve as the initial charge letter to the Academic Program Review Committee for the 2006-07 academic year. Please share this memo with the committee members.
Per Faculty Senate Bylaw II. (s): "Each faculty committee shall hold an organizational meeting and report the name of the chairperson to the senate office by October 1. (Joint Chairpersons are not permitted.)"
Therefore, as the convener of the APR, please arrange, as soon as feasible, an organizational meeting. In addition to a chairperson, please also elect a secretary.
Primary responsibilities of the chairperson include:
o promptly informing the Senate office (5-8018) the results of the election of officers and any changes in committee membership.*
o organizing and conducting meetings.
o completing a year end report on the APR activities to be submitted to the Senate Office no later than May 31, 2007.
*The committee chairperson should carefully review Faculty Senate Bylaw II, "Faculty Standing Committees" for information on committee attendance and the role of alternates.
Primary responsibilities of the secretary include:
o recording minutes of each meeting.
o promptly sending meeting minutes to Sibbie Weathers (firstname.lastname@example.com) so that the minutes can be posted on the faculty senate website.
In the event the committee chooses to rotate secretarial duties, please designate one person to be responsible for e-mailing the meeting minutes to Sibbie Weathers.
According to Faculty Senate Bylaw II. C. The Academic Program Review Committee, the duties and responsibilities of the committee shall include:
- Maintaining and updating the procedures and criteria used to review existing academic programs at UW-L.
- Scheduling and conducting, in consultation with the provost/vice chancellor, the audit and review of academic programs.
- Reviewing the Faculty Workload Policy and monitoring its application.
Although no special charge is being given to the committee this year, should the membership wish to bring any policy issues to the attention of the senate, it should certainly do so. Any recommendations that the committee would like to make to the senate should be submitted to our office in a timely fashion.
If you have questions or concerns, please contact me at any time during the year. Finally, if the Senate Executive Committee or I can assist your committee in any way during the year, please do not hesitate to ask.

Competition to become the Sharks' back-up goalie is at the midway point, but don't make any hasty judgments just because Thomas Greiss shut out Anaheim and Dimitri Patzold was in the nets for a 6-5 shootout loss against Los Angeles.
Sharks Coach Ron Wilson certainly isn't.
"We're not going to build our team based on two games," Wilson said after practice Thursday, adding that on-ice performance, each player's stage of development and mental readiness all come into play.
Wilson said Evgeni Nabokov will play tonight against Anaheim at HP Pavilion, then get two more starts in order to work himself into game shape for the Oct. 4 opener. That leaves Greiss and Patzold with one more chance to show what they can do.
Thursday, Greiss downplayed his accomplishment of the previous night.
"The team played very good in front of me," the German netminder said, noting that Anaheim had a limited number of scoring chances in San Jose's 1-0 victory. "They made me look good."
Greiss, 21, didn't single out any one of his 19 saves against Anaheim as more difficult than the others, though he indicated the first period presented a special challenge.
"At the start for me it was hard to adjust to the speed," he said.
For his part, Patzold, 24, did not appear discouraged.
"It wasn't maybe the way I wanted it," the Kazakhstan native said, "but there were good things in the game I saw" when reviewing his play the next day with goalie coach Wayne Thomas.
"I also saw things that needed little corrections," Patzold added. "It's nothing big."
• If veteran defenseman Sandis Ozolinsh earns a spot on the roster, it'll be strictly based on what he shows in practice.
Under conditions imposed by the NHL because of his involvement in the league's substance-abuse program, Ozolinsh cannot play in any exhibition games. He pleaded guilty in June 2006 to driving while impaired.
Wilson said that Ozolinsh, who is attempting his comeback with the team that first drafted him, reported in excellent shape - something not lost on assistant coach Rob Zettler, a teammate during their stint together in San Jose.
"Zets says it's a totally different body than the last time he was here," Wilson said, adding that Ozolinsh is a strong skater whose outlet passes could prove valuable on the power play.
• Right wing Milan Michalek knows when he injured his left arm in the first period of Tuesday night's game against Los Angeles. He just can't figure out what went wrong.
"It's crazy. I was just shooting and suddenly my arm was hurting," Michalek said. 'It's never happened before."
Michalek spent only a few minutes on the ice Thursday and doesn't expect to see action in the next two games. But both he and Sharks officials say the injury isn't considered serious.
• Defenseman Rob Davison found himself in an unfamiliar position Wednesday night against Anaheim, skating 11:28 at left wing on a line with center Curtis Brown and right wing Mike Iggulden.
That was fine with Davison, who is among several players vying to become the Sharks' sixth defenseman.
"Wherever there's a spot," he said. "If they want me to play 'D,' I'll play 'D.' If they want me to play forward, I'll play forward."
• Former Sharks goalie Vesa Toskala gave up a soft goal on the first shot he faced in his Toronto debut, and the Phoenix Coyotes beat the Maple Leafs 3-2 in an exhibition game.

After five years, The Tyra Show and host Tyra Banks took their final bow last week. Never fear, as these moments from her final week on air prove that our beloved Tyra won't ever change her ways.
What will we—and The Soup—make fun of now? Here's a roundup of the traits Tyra displayed over her last five shows.
Tyra's Very Expressive: Tyra will never tire of making audience members uncomfortable with her bizarre movements and faces.
Tyra's forceful: Tyra still likes to dress her entire audience up, this time in some fairly phallic-looking t-shirts.
Tyra has Delusions of Grandeur: When teenage girls get pregnant, the first place they turn to is to Tyra—and her voicemail.
Tyra's Self-Obsessed: Tyra's favorite segments are those in which she talks about herself. Take this look back at 5 years of her favorite hair sna-fu's.
Tyra has no shame: What better way to say goodbye than an hour-long tribute to Tyra! How far she's come in five short years—from a super model to annoying television talk show host! You go, Tyra!
Tyra's a Teacher: Tyra always gives the best advice! For instance, the best solution for cellulite is... an afghan!
Tyra's Creative: Despite how crazy the idea may seem, Tyra's got a knack for helping those beneath her shine. Take this insane invention, for example.
Tyra's Dramatic: Girl knows how to make an exit.

Seib & Wessel: What We're Reading Monday

By Gerald F. Seib and David Wessel
Nate Silver says the message from recent public-opinion polls is that President Barack Obama has lost his edge over Republicans on public confidence in his management of the economy. [New York Times]
Pew's Andy Kohut documents with poll data how far the Republican party has been pulled to the right of the general public, and suggests this will make it tough for the GOP to win national elections. [Washington Post]
Unlike housing recoveries of the past, which were led by families looking for and finally finding places to live, the current housing recovery is being driven more by investors and speculators buying housing stock to rent it out. [WSJ]
How Europe's leaders misread the politics of Cyprus, the ties between its banks and its newly elected leaders and Russia's influence on the island economy — and put the euro at risk. [FT]
Nobel-winning economist Christopher Pissarides, a Cypriot, is angry at Europe's treatment of his homeland: "Small countries be warned when joining the euro zone. You could be bullied any time by your big brothers if it suits their political objectives." [Bloomberg Businessweek]
In the same-sex marriage case, Justice Anthony Kennedy must choose between two of his firmest held beliefs — the sovereignty of the states and the dignity and rights of gays. [The Atlantic]
In Yale Daily News, Sen. Rob Portman's son Will writes that part of the reason his father waited two years after Will came out before he endorsed marriage for gay couples is that it took time for him to think through the issue and because of Will's reluctance to make his personal life public. On the debate over gay marriage he writes: "We should think twice before using terms like 'bigoted' to describe the position of those opposed to same-sex marriage or 'immoral' to describe the position of those in favor, and always strive to cultivate humility in ourselves as we listen to others' perspectives and share our own." [Yale Daily News]
John Pomfret on why China isn't putting more pressure on North Korea to abandon its nuclear ambitions: It fears a collapse of the North Korean regime would lead to a unified Korea over which it would have little influence. [Washington Post]
The failure of Suntech, the Chinese firm facing bankruptcy proceedings, could prove to be good for the solar panel industry; it's plagued by over-capacity, Kevin Bullis writes. [MIT's Technology Review]
Calvin Trillin reminisces about his years at Time magazine, which sounds like one weird place. [New Yorker]

At Seib & Wessel's roundtable, WSJ reporters sift through Barack Obama's first trip to Israel as president, including whether this means a thawing in his relationship with Benjamin Netanyahu, the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran, Palestine and the civil war in Syria.
WSJ's Neil King discusses the damning findings of the GOP's internal report into the state of the party, and analyzes what shifts, if any, Republicans are willing to make on policy and presentation.
WSJ's David Wessel and Damian Paletta breaks down Jack Lew's first trip abroad as treasury secretary, the significance of China being his first destination and how receptive the Chinese were to U.S. concerns over cyber security and North Korea.

Is Andrew O'Keefe a big deal for you?
–, Wednesday, August, 08, 2007, (12:29pm)
Andrew O'Keefe has come a long way in four years and is one of TV's biggest stars.
He hosts Deal Or No Deal, Weekend Sunrise, did The Rich List and is now set for a twice a week tonight show - if Seven gives it the go ahead.
He's an enigmatic character and one thing is certain: you always know when O'Keefe is on screen or indeed if he's in the same room as you. He crackles with energy, has plenty of showbiz schtick and a bit of vaudville about him (well huis uncle was Johnny O'Keefe) and is, in short, a showman.
But he's not everyone cup of tea. Is he yours?
Tell us why - or not.

I think Andrew is the next big thing. You are so right, he oozes charisma and buckets of energy, is intelligent and funny. I think he'll go a long way, at least I hope!

he is just another uncontrevirsial Australian TV personality and the lack of talent and depth in the industry right now is simply discraceful
