To the editor:
Said the spider to the fly:
"Will you vote for me?" said President Obama to the crowd, "Change you can believe in is still my message; I will remake this great country with your help into one that provides for all!" "No, no," said the independent to Obama. "I still have much to think about. I will decide later. I have much to do, kids to watch and it really doesn't matter much does it?"
"I'm sure you must be tired of hearing all the lies about me, won't you just sit awhile and listen?" said Obama to the independent. "I will provide for you. I will give you health care and I promise that the cost is not high. After all would I ever lie?" said Obama to the independent. "I like what you say, but pray wait just a bit. Summer is long and I have kids to watch. My vote will keep. I need to sleep," said the independent to Obama.
Said Obama to the independent, "Dear voter, what can I do to prove that what I say is God's truth? You put me in office the last time and that was very nice. Have I not kept my promises?" said Obama to the independent. "Oh, I'm sure you have kept your promises. I have your word that is true. I have little time to keep abreast of the news. Frankly sir it gives me the blues," said the independent to Obama.
"Dear independent," said Obama, "you're smart for not watching the news; I can see that your standards are high. Are you not better off than before?" said Obama to the independent. "Well sir I do declare that things are rough. I work for half my pay and our costs are quite high. I know not why," said the independent to Obama. "Truly, I say to you. Give me four more years and you will see. Your pay will be up and your costs will be down. Have I ever lied?" said Obama to the independent.
The independent turned and walked away, got into his sport utility, and drove away. Obama turned to his adviser and said "This silly voter will be back again." So he had his aide reprogram his telepromter with words that he knew the independent could not resist. The following day, Obama spied the same independent walking slowly toward the stage. Slyly, he pretended that he did not see the independent voter. "The independent voter will decide the fate of this great nation. Without their support I would not be here! Look at all I have accomplished. Truly, I have given them the change that they can believe in. I will surely fail if they abandon me now in my hour of greatest need," said Obama to the crowd.
Oh my. Hearing these words sent his heart to flutter, this silly little independent. He came closer to the stage, nearer he drew, with chest puffed out and pride shining from his eyes he cleared his throat and said. "Sir, I have heard all that you said and your words have thrilled me and sent a shiver down my spine. I will pledge my vote to you now. After all, I do not have time to listen to others' lies. You give me your word that is all I need. I am sure my life will change for the better," said the independent to Obama.
And now, dear voters, who may glean from this tale of promises made and not kept I urge you to understand and take heed. Do not listen to idle boasts of change to believe in. Look instead to your mirror. Are you truly better off now than before? Go out and speak to the independent before it's too late. They are too busy to think. They vote only when blessed with a thrill and a chill.

The Thunder have three days off after returning home from a challenging six-game road trip. Oklahoma City has played nine of its last 10 away from home, and went 7-3 in that stretch. The three losses coming of course in the recent six-game roadie against the Nuggets, Warriors and Lakers.
So was it successful? Before they took off for Dallas, I figured 3-3 would be acceptable, 4-2 good and five more wins excellent. So, if I were grading, I'd give it a strong "meh."
Thing is though, the Thunder were probably six or seven plays from being 5-1 on the trip, but that's sort of the point — it's hard to win on the road. Against Denver, obviously that could've gone either way. Against the Warriors, a handful of plays in the last three minutes got OKC. The game against the Lakers was really the only one they got beat.
The Thunder have been a solid road team this season overall (15-8), but not especially stellar. The road trip was fine, but not great. The lesson: Home court advantage would likely be appreciated in the postseason.
1. Kevin Durant (Last week: 2)
A recent thing I've seen a few people write/complain about: That Kevin Durant draws an absurdly big number of fouls, many of which they feel aren't fouls. Now, when it comes to officiating, our biases often get in the ways of our eyes. I'm as guilty of it as anyone, though I do my best to see the game for what it is, to take the plays on the floor at face value.
(Note: Durant is tied for second in the league for free throw attempts per game at 9.4. James Harden is first at 10.1.)
Sure, stars get calls, but I think one of the reasons people feel that way is because stars also are the ones handling, attacking and scoring the most. So called "star calls" happen because Durant, LeBron, Kobe and Melo are all the ones attacking the rim or taking shots. You don't see Steve Blake get a star call because all he's doing is hovering around the 3-point line for a kickout.
Does Durant get a lot of calls? Of course. But I see two big reasons for that: 1) He's excellent at drawing contact, or at least contact that appears to be a foul and 2) nobody can guard him. The first is part of basketball. The free throw line is part of the game and getting to it is smart. Especially when you shoot 91 percent from there. It's basically free points, which I think is kind of the idea.
The second part is simply that defenders can't really check KD so they try and push the limits of acceptable defense and use their hands, body and whatever else to try and impede Durant. That's why the best offensive players often draw more foul calls. They are being used the most and it's hard to guard them. It's not rocket science.
2. Russell Westbrook (Last week: 1)
What a strange month January has been for Russell Westbrook. His numbers are mostly stellar: 24.5 points, 7.8 assists, 5.5 rebounds, 43 percent shooting. But prior to him breaking out back-to-back big assist games last week against the Kings and Lakers, Westbrook's scoring was up and the assists down to about six a game. Before last week, he had only two double-digit assist games in January, while he had nine total the previous two months.
He was brilliant against the Clippers, woeful against the Warriors, awesome against the Kings, then I-don't-know-what against the Lakers. Basically, your average week on the Russell Coaster.
Also, a great point someone made to me on Twitter: A lot of times we can kind of measure the value of a player because they miss a game and we see how much their absence impacted the team. We saw it happen to the Clippers the other night without Chris Paul. But we've never seen what the Thunder would look like without Russell Westbrook. He's never missed a game. We don't know what the team would look like with Reggie Jackson or Eric Maynor running the team for 40 minutes would look like. We don't know how that would impact Durant. We don't know what would happen to the offense.
Don't get me wrong, it's an amazing, underrated part of Westbrook that he's so reliable and tough, but it also kind of keeps us from getting a glimpse into his true value. If that makes sense.
3. Kevin Martin (Last week: 3)
If the road trip was good to anyone, it was Kevin Martin. He seems to have found himself a bit away from home. His home-road splits were pretty stunning, but in the six-game trip Martin averaged 15.1 points on 51.6 percent shooting and 54.4 percent from 3. He seemed to really find a grip on handling the second unit, taking a bit more command of the team when he was the lone scorer on the floor. Definitely encouraging.
4. Kendrick Perkins (Last week: 5)
Don't want to alarm anyone, but Perk scored in double figures twice last week. His rebounding numbers dipped and he was a complete non-factor against the Clippers, but he defended Dwight Howard really well, was solid against DeMarcus Cousins and very strong against the Warriors. Considering his role and what the Thunder need from him, Perk was good last week.
5. Serge Ibaka (Last week: 4)
For whatever reason, Ibaka doesn't seem to be owning the paint so much this season. He's averaging 2.8 blocks per game, still good for second in the league, but that's less than nearly a full block per game compared to last season. Compare his game logs last season to this one and there are far fewer strings of six, four, eight, six, five, three, three, five kind of block games in there. He's still protecting the rim well and is obviously a threat, but he's not exactly the kind of paint monster he was.
Maybe it's because opposing teams have wised up and diverted their offense away from him, maybe it's because he's trying to not be as reckless with his help defense that he's not abandoning his position to try and swat a shot. Who knows, but the numbers are down.
6. Thabo Sefolosha (Last week: 6)
Did you know that Thabo is having probably the best offensive season of his career? It's true. He's averaging a career-best 7.3 points on a career-best 47.4 percent shooting and 40.0 percent from 3. Is that the Russell/Durant Evolution Effect, or is Thabo just having a good year?
7. Nick Collison (Last week: 7)
A couple of people sent me this stat because Basketball-Reference just released detailed lineup data this week: Russell Westbrook and Nick Collison were the best two-man lineup in the entire league last season. This season, the best is Collison and Durant. I'm no genius, but I see a common thread here with those two lineups. MVP, is all I'm saying.
8. Reggie Jackson (Last week: 9)
A few people have sent me this stat: The Thunder were 21-4 with Eric Maynor as the backup point guard and are 13-7 with Jackson at that position. I don't see how Jackson is at all related to that record. Because we all know Maynor wasn't exactly contributing greatly to those 21 wins he played in.
9. DeAndre Liggins (Last week: 8)
I think the new car smell is starting to fade a bit.
10. Hasheem Thabeet (Last week: 10)
When Thabeet was playing strong minutes early in the season and Thunder fans were like, "Holy cow, Thabeet! Could he be our backup center?!" my buddy Ben Golliver of Blazersedge and SI.com kept warning me. Just wait, he said. I think Thabeet is still more useful and competent than most anyone anticipated, but he's definitely come down a bit. I think Scott Brooks is slowly weening him out of the rotation as he plays Nick Collison more at the backup 5.
On the road trip, Thabeet played a total of 29 minutes, and that's with 16 of them coming in the blowout of the Kings. On the road trip, he pulled in a total of three rebounds.
11. Perry Jones III (Last week: 11)
Jones is an extremely intriguing young talent that I'm still very excited about, but I'm really starting to wonder what his future with the Thunder is going to look like.
12. Eric Maynor (Last week: 13)
Inactives: Daniel Orton, Jeremy Lamb

1 Dad, 2 Boys, And Swimming Lessons.Buzz Bishop
I don't know parents of more than 2 children do it. I really don't.
For the rest of your life, you are outnumbered. If one of you is having one-on-one time with one of the kids, the other is stuck with a 2-on-1, or worse.
In hockey, when one team has more players than the other, they call it a "power play." Well, as my wife knocked off a bucket list item to see Oprah live in our city last night, it was my turn to head out on the ice and try to kill off the power play.
The challenge? 1 dad, 2 boys, and swimming lessons.
I know, I know, I know. All you super moms, with multiple kids do this sort of thing all the time. You pile your herd into a mini van for groceries, doctor appointments, and assorted activities. My wife and I have always divided to conquer our boys. Rare is the time we will submit ourselves to their power play. Getting out and going on an adventure is easy when you're outnumbered, it's when you have to involve changing, showering, and being soaking wet that makes things a little more complicated.
Getting there was supposed to be easy. The boys are pre-swimsuited, and so the only thing we have to do is take off a layer when we get to the pool. Easy, right? Wrong.
The parking lot was full, again, and I had to park a couple of hundred meters away from the front door. No big deal except I had not put pants on the boys, and had left their warm winter coats at home. The coats are just too bulky to carry in my swim bag with towels and jammies and accessories. So they wore a light fleece.
We run to the door, pop inside and warm up. Zacharie (my 5 year old) loves swimming, and bounces to his class. Charlie (3), is experiencing lessons for the first time and isn't as thrilled. "I want to see Mama," he complains. Eventually the tears die down and he grasps his teacher's hand to the pool.
The next 30 minutes are dead easy. I sit and trade tweets with my wife at the Oprah show while the boys swim. The hard part is still to come.
After lessons, Charlie is crying again. He insisted on wearing a swim shirt, and now he is cold in his wet top. Zacharie runs to the kiddie hot tub, but he can't go in because then Charlie will want to go in and I can't go in to watch both of them.
So we shuffle down to the change room, which on a midweek night after dinner, is absolutely jammed. The hooks across from the showers are taken, all the stalls are full, and I just can't bear to do the dance with two naked babies in a crowd.
So we find a sliver of bench. Zacharie is a hero and does most of his wet change on his own, while Charlie whines into his pjs. Back on with the fleeces instead of a heavy coat for the freezing hike back to a cold car that has both of them shivering.
We finally get home just before bedtime. The boys have a "tiny snack", and crash within 10 minutes of hitting the sheets.
Okay, it wasn't "that hard," and as the boys get older this sort of 2-on-1 gets easier, but I did miss a few key steps in trying to make the process easier.
They didn't have showers after swimming because of the outnumbered chaos. They didn't have baths when we got home because we were too late. I didn't put their swim trunks in the washing machine because I don't know how it works (truth), and then I got heck this morning for not turning on the dishwasher after dinner because I don't know how (another embarrassing truth.)
Each and every time I go out for the power play, I gain more and more respect for you parents who chose to have lots of kids, or do it on your own.

The issues to be discussed during the event, which is a scaled-down version of the World Social Forum, such as the one held in Bombay in 2004, cover many topics ranging from rural development, political reform, social equality, human rights to democracy and more.
"Our stress will be on media reform and press freedom," said Jon, a former Bangkok senator.
Participation is expected from across the Kingdom and some foreign delegates are expected as well.
"We adhere to democratic principles and will not tell any of the participants what they can or cannot do," said Jon, adding that the organising group, comprising some 40 NGOs, has no hidden political motive. "There may be people who oppose the coup or some who may have voted for the Thai Rak Thai Party. But we have no rules for participation."

Grants That Could Change Your Life
You've probably heard a lot about government grants for single mothers to go to school, get housing, day care etc… But while single moms can take advantage of these grants. They aren't created only for single moms. Actually anyone who meets the eligibility requirements can apply. However, due to the sheer number of single moms raising children on their own, the U.S. government has a vested interest in helping every single mother in the U.S. After all, it's quite possible one of these single mothers could be raising the next President of the United States! Maybe even you mom!
Plus the future teachers, doctors, lawyers and entrepreneurs. So it's critical to give every single mother in this country a fighting chance. So let's take a look at a few grants that could be life changing for you and your kids.
Pell Grant Is One of The Best Government Grants For Single Mothers For College
Want to go to college? Pell Grant is based on financial need. It awards up to a maximum of $5,500 per year. The average award is right around $3,500. Now the key to making this work for you, assuming you qualify. Is to find a college or university whose tuition falls within the award amount. In other words, don't enroll in a school where the tuition is ten grand a year! Why struggle to pay for school if you don't have to.
TEACH – Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education
If you're interested in becoming a teacher. There is are government grants for single mothers who want to teach and grow young minds. The Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education grant pays a maximum of $4000 a year toward a teaching degree. Those who apply and are approved for this grant will not have to repay it as long as they fulfill certain requirements.
To receive this grant you will have to agree to teach in low income school districts for 4 school years. If you leave prior to the 4 years unless it is due to an emergency out of your control. Such as a health issue, you will be required to repay the grant in full. So if teaching is your passion. The TEACH program may be exactly the government grants for single mothers you're looking for.
SBA Wants To Help You Become An Entrepreneur
Joining the Small Business Administration's Women-Owned Businesses program is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Although the SBA does not award government grants for single mothers, they provide a business education that would literally rival some of the best business schools in the country. They can also provide resources on where you can apply for government grants as well as non government grants to help you go into business for yourself.
Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (FESEOG)
If you thought pursing higher education was out of reach, this government grants for single mothers and anyone interested in getting their degree is a must. This grant is for those attending a college or university as an undergraduate. It is also for those with extreme financial need. The process to apply is the same for any educational grant assistance. You must first fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid or (FAFSA). This will determine your financial eligibility for this and all other Federal education grants.
There aren't any government grants for single mothers specifically. At least not on the federal level. Check out your state's website to find out what grants are available and see if you qualify. Often you'll find housing, utility, child care, education and even job training grants via your state. Knowing these grants exists and actually getting them is another story entirely. You will have to be prepared to submit all required documentation and meet deadlines accordingly. The competition for these grants is fierce. The economy and unemployment has millions of Americans looking for any way possible to get themselves out of financial strain. They're looking for new careers.
Choosing a Career that Works
Even traditional careers known for longevity even in tough economic climates are no longer safe. So if you want to go back to school or start your own business. Now is the time to find any and every government grants for single mothers you can. So you're going to have to start contacting both the Federal and your state government's education agencies to get the information you'll need. Pick up your applications and start applying for all government grants for single mothers you're eligible for.
If you're hoping to begin a new career, your best bet is to focus on careers most likely to be around for the long run. Health care related fields are on fire right now. The U.S. Dept of Labor project health care workers to be in big demand through 2020. If you're passionate about caring for the general well being of others. Take a look at what that sector has to offer. Then apply to college programs.
It's going to take time, and a lot of extra effort. If you're working full time, you'll need to decide if you will also attend school full time. That can be a tough choice to make. Especially if you have young children. But on the other hand, you're not making these decisions just for yourself. You're also thinking about the futures of your kids. Government grants for single mothers especially where education is concerned can open doors you never imagined.
It's really all about choices and decisions.
If you're hoping to start a business, the choice is even tougher. Most businesses fail within the first 5 years. Not because they were horrible businesses. But because the owners weren't prepared to run a business. The SBA can prepare you for success. Maybe going back to school just isn't your thing right now. If you feel running a business is your strength and passion. Go for it!
Even though there aren't any government grants for single mothers specifically, you can still apply for grants for education, entrepreneurship and even a grant for a teaching career. Stay focused and never give up. You'll be surprised at what you can accomplish.
Government grants for single mothers will definitely be a big relief for single mothers who are trying their best to brave the odds in order to give their child or children a good life. It is hard to be the one who takes care of the children and acting as the head and provider of the family all at the same time. There is no doubt that a single mother's life is really challenging. It is good to know that they could always count on the system to offer government assistance for struggling single mothers. It is important to be well-informed when it comes to different financial aids that are available to single mothers. It is good to know that the government is taking steps in order to improve the condition of single mothers.
Most common government grants for single mothers: scholarship, financial & health grants
First, applying for a scholarship grant may need a lot of effort and patience for you, but if you are really determined to get back to school and finish your studies, you really need to work hard to get the scholarship. Apply in as many schools as you can, and of course, make sure that your grades are good enough to pass the scholarship's requirements. Most schools are lenient when it comes to giving out class schedules for single mothers. You can also try availing online scholarship grants, in case you needed to be at home more often.
Second, there are many financial help programs that were launched by the government in order to assist single mothers. One of them is food stamps, which is a welfare program for financially needy families. You can apply for eligibility and know more about the different government grants for single mothers at your nearest Department of Human Services office.
Third is the temporary assistance for needy families, which gives cash funds to families who are in experiencing financial difficulties. Apart from the financial assistance, the parent is put into a 30-hour per week workday, the child or children is put into a school. This assistance continues until the parent finds a really stable job. The Children's Health Insurance Program is a government assistance program among the different government grants for single mothers that are available. This provides children with dental, vision, and medical coverage with very minimal insurance fees to be paid.
Lastly, another good program for financially challenged single mothers is the Supplemental Nutrition for Women, Infants, and Children, wherein the government send out milk, bread, rice, cereal, baby formula, and other necessities right at your door. This is a great help for single mothers who are trying hard to make ends meet.
There are many ways to apply for this government grants for single mothers. Apart from visiting different government welfare agencies, you can also apply online. The government has many online resources that tells you more about the current government assistance for single mothers. You can download the different application forms online and even send them back through email. It is good to know that there are different avenues available for single mothers when it comes to financial assistance. These government grants for single mothers may not be a permanent solution, but it can at least help you until you can find a more solid financial footing.

Great Invention Idea? Cow Fart Monitor & More Bad News About Cowsby Elizabeth Valeri
As many of you know, cow gas, or bovine flatulence (farts) and eructation (burps), is suspect when determining the factors that contribute to global warming. Why? The reason is simple: cow gas emits methane gas and according to environmentalists like EarthSave, methane is by far the most important non-CO2 greenhouse gas floating around the atmosphere and threatening the ozone layer. read more »

Regarding yesterday's post about that "Mortal Kombat" video... the cat is out of the bag. As you've probably seen on the 1UP news page, numerous people online have confirmed that it's a proof-of-concept for a movie, including Jeri Ryan herself via Twitter.
This actually saddens me just a bit. While I think the trailer is extremely compelling, it journeys a bit too far afield from its source material to be a good idea for an adaption. I'd rather see this vision used as a reboot of the game franchise first. Then you can see fit to translate it into a movie later.
Regardless, I'm still glad it's so cool-looking either way.
Oh, yeah, the $9.99 "PSP Favorites" line that Sony announced just before June hit? The one I complained about for being completely impossible to find anywhere as of June 2nd?
It doesn't exist.
Sony made the announcement, but I can now confirm that no one offers those games for that price - not even Sony itself. Just check the PSN. Games like Silent Hill: Origins or Justice League Heroes? Still listed as $14.99.
I can also confirm that you will not find the "PSP Favorites" games being sold for $9.99 at any of these stores, either online or in their brick-and-mortar establishments:
- Best Buy
- GameStop
- Wal-Mart
- Target
- Toys R Us
- Amazon.com
So yeah, Sony has punked us all. The PSP Favorites line, which they announced via official press release and on their web site as being available on June 1st, is a fake. You can't buy those games for that price anywhere.

Syracuse, NY - A Central New York runner has organized an informal run to to support Boston one week after the marathon bombing.
#BostonStrong Syracuse starts at 6 p.m. at Onondaga Lake Park, near the Salt Museum. There is no set mileage. All abilities are welcome. There is no fee or sign up.
The event was organized by Susan Brilla, of Liverpool. Brilla, 29, blogs at suzistorm.com. She is training for her second Wineglass Marathon, which goes from Bath to Corning, in October.
She picked up the idea from a global movement started by the San Francisco blog Pavement Runner. That blog, written by Brian Kelley, called for runners around the world to come together one week after the Boston Marathon to share the love they have been spreading on Facebook and Twitter. There are events in more than 50 cities, listed on Pinterest.
"We cried, we shared our fears, our shock, but most importantly, we showed our strength. I wanted that strength and unity to be seen in a real way," Kelley wrote in an email interview. " I wanted that to be shared in our communities in person."
Brilla said she just picked a place and told people to show up. Word is spreading on social media. Use the hashtag #BostonStrongSyracuse on Twitter.
"I figured this would be a nice way for Syracuse to get together and show our support. It's not about raising money or beating your PR," she said. "It's about gathering some Syracuse runners together to pound out some miles on a Monday night, one week after the Boston Marathon and show the world that us in the running community are united and strong."

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Stephon Marbury had 28 points and 10 assists and Shawn Marion had 25 points and 15 rebounds as the Phoenix Suns handed the Philadelphia 76ers their fourth straight loss.
A 3-pointer by Marion put the Suns ahead 95-87 with 2:43 left. After Iverson sank two free throws, Amare Stoudemire's dunk made it 97-89 with 1:45 remaining. A layup by Penny Hardaway sealed the win.
Hardaway had 15 points and Joe Johnson added 12 for the Suns.
Allen Iverson scored 22 points and rookie John Salmons, making his first career start, had six points, six rebounds and four assists.
The Sixers were missing two key players. Aaron McKie did not play due to flu-like symptoms and Monty Williams is out with a bruised left knee and could miss the next 10 days.
Todd MacCulloch had 16 points, Greg Buckner scored 14 and Eric Snow had 13 points and eight assists for the 76ers, who have lost two straight at home after winning their first 10.
After trailing by 10, Philadelphia scored nine of the next 13, and a 15-footer by Buckner made it 92-87 with 2:48 left. Buckner had six points during the spurt.
Earlier in the fourth, the Sixers cut the Suns' lead to four, 80-76, but Marbury scored six in an 8-2 run to extend the advantage back to 10 with 5:58 remaining.
The Suns scored 15 of the last 20 points of the first half to take a 54-47 lead at the break. Hardaway, who had 18 points in the half, scored 10 during the run.
Pacers 94, Nuggets 72
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Ron Mercer scored 19 points and Austin Croshere added 17 as the Indiana Pacers avenged their most embarrassing loss of the season.
The Pacers lost to Denver 92-81 on Saturday on the final game of a five-game West Coast road trip. It was Indiana's only loss this season to a team with a losing record, and coach Isiah Thomas said the Pacers were tired and looking forward to going home.
Back at Conseco Fieldhouse for the first time since Nov. 29, the Pacers appeared refreshed - and a little testy - while jumping out to a 28-point lead in the first half. They improved to an Eastern Conference-best 17-5.
The Pacers were called for two technical fouls in the half, and the starting backcourt of Reggie Miller and Jamaal Tinsley combined for only two points. However, reserves Mercer and Croshere clicked in the second quarter, combining for 24 points mostly on long jumpers.
Sonics 91, Raptors 79
TORONTO (AP) - Gary Payton scored 21 points as the Seattle SuperSonics beat the injury-riddled Toronto Raptors for their second straight road victory.
Vladimir Radmanovic added 15 points and Desmond Mason had 14 for the SuperSonics, who won consecutive games for the first time since Nov. 17.
The Raptors, who have lost three straight and five of six, were missing their three best players - injured All-Star Vince Carter, leading rebounder Antonio Davis and point guard Alvin Williams.
Lindsey Hunter had a team-high 21 for the Raptors., who are also missing Lamond Murray, Eric Montross and Mamadou N'diaye. Toronto has used 11 starting lineups in 22 games this season.
After Payton's 3-pointer gave Seattle a 11-point lead with 4:13 left, Hunter made consecutive 3-pointers.

It's been four months since fashion blogger and model Lauren Scruggs accidentally walked into a spinning plane propeller, leaving her with devastating injuries.
Scruggs, 23, lost her left eye and hand (among other injuries) as a result, but on Friday, her father said she's the same young woman she was before the accident.
Despite concerns about brain damage, "She has the same spunk, her same personality," Lauren's father, Jeff Scruggs told Katie Couric on Good Morning America Friday.
And luckily, Lauren does not appear to remember the actual accident. "All she remembers," says Jeff, "is getting out of that plane."
Lauren has been fitted with a prosthetic eye and she's selected a prosthetic arm, which she will receive in about a month, her father reports. As for her twin sister Brittany, "there's a special bond there," says Jeff, adding that when Lauren's left eye was surgically removed, "Brittany's left eye started to twitch for two weeks."
In the aftermath of Lauren's accident, her mother, Cheryl Scruggs, shared updates on her daughter on a Caring Bridge website, as well as the family's faith and what that meant to her recovery.
"She knows God is healing her," Cheryl said on GMA Friday morning. The outpouring of prayers for Lauren "have been incredible," Jeff added. "God spared her life."
Lauren's recovery has been the subject of national attention ever since she was injured in December. Cheryl told GMA that people brought the family meals for 10 weeks so that she didn't have to cook.
Lauren (whose nickname is Lolo) will be speaking out about her ordeal in a new book, Still Lolo, which be published by Tyndale Momentum in November.
Said publisher Jan Harris in a statement: "This is going to be a truly inspiring book for anyone who has faced adversity themselves or struggled with the value our society places on physical beauty."

Copenhagen ferry port in Denmark connects you with Oslo in Norway with a choice of up to 7 ferry crossings per week. The duration of the Copenhagen to Oslo crossing is from 17 hours 15 minutes and the crossing is operated by DFDS Seaways.
Copenhagen is the capital city of Denmark. It was founded around 1000 by Sweyn I Forkbeard and his son Canute the Great. It was only a fishing village by the name of "Havn" (harbour) until the middle of the 12th century when it grew in importance after coming into the possession of the Bishop Absalon, who fortified it in 1167. The excellent harbour encouraged Copenhagen's growth until it became an important centre of commerce. During World War II Copenhagen was occupied by German troops along with the rest of the country from 9th of April 1940 until 4th of May 1945. In August 1943, when the government's collaboration with the occupation forces collapsed, several ships where sunk in Copenhagen Harbour by the Royal Danish Navy to prevent them being used by the Germans. The city has grown greatly since the war, in the seventies using the so-called five-finger-plan of communter trainlines to surrounding towns and suburbs.
From the South, drive along Kalvebod Brygge and Niels Juels Gade. Continue to Kongens Nytorv and drive straight ahead to Bredgade and then Grønningen. Turn right at Folke Bernadotte Allé (just before Østerport train station) and continue along Kalkbrænderihavnsgade and finally turn onto Dampfærgevej.
From the North, drive along Lyngbyvejen and turn left onto Jagtvej. Continue straight ahead to Strandboulevarden for approx. 70 m and turn left onto Århusgade for approx. 300 m. Then turn right onto Kalkbrænderihavnsgade and finally turn left onto Dampfærgevej.
The closest train station is Nordhavn, which serves S-Tog trains. It takes approx. 10 minutes to walk to the port from here. There are normally taxis in front of the station. From here there are also trains to/from Copenhagen Central Station, from where you can get train services to most parts of Denmark.
There is a DFDS bus service 20E (free for DFDS passengers) and a public city bus service 26, operating frequently to and from the city centre.
Europark has a parking area on Dampfærgevej. The parking facility is open 7 days a week and prices are approx. 15 DKK per hour. There is a max. daily rate of 200 DKK.

The Kaohsiung Incident (高雄事件; gāoxióng shìjiàn) of December 1979 was a political watershed, often regarded as the beginning of Taiwan's democratic revolution. Opposition to Taiwan's one-party state had been growing in the 1970s and, in an apparent concession, President Chiang Ching-kuo had agreed to hold legislative elections in 1979 – but at the last minute, he cancelled them. On Human Rights Day (Dec 10) a rally was organized in Kaohsiung in protest, the activists spurred on by the arrest the night before of two workers for Meilidao ("Formosa" in English), a clandestine publication that was a focus for dissidents. Things quickly got out of hand as police were brought in to disperse the crowds, and violent scuffles ensued. In the aftermath, almost every member of the unofficial opposition was arrested, culminating in the trial, in 1980, of the "Kaohsiung Eight" for sedition. Most were jailed for lengthy periods, but the trial was widely publicized and as a result the defendants garnered a great deal of sympathy, ultimately creating a wider base for democratic reform.
Today, the list of those involved reads like a "Who's Who" of Taiwanese politics, many becoming leaders of the Tangwai (dăngwài; Outside Party) movement and later the Democratic Progressive Party: Chen Shui-bian (president 2000–08) and Frank Hsieh (former Kaohsiung mayor and premier) were lawyers on the defence team, while Annette Lu (vice-president 2000–08), Lin Yi-hsiung (former leader of the DPP) and Shih Ming-teh (ex-DPP chairman and political activist) served five to ten years in jail. Although no one died during the incident, Lin's mother and twin 7-year-old daughters were murdered while he was in prison, a case that remains unsolved.

The prices of gold and silver continue to rise on the international markets.
The price of gold hit an all-time high at just under $1,518 per ounce early Monday and the price of silver shot up more than eight percent to $49.82, just slightly below its all-time high of $50.35 that it hit in January of 1980.
"Everyone is buying. There is good buying interest from China," one dealer in Hong Kong told Reuters.
Some analysts warn that a correction for silver is inevitable, but they say the longer term outlook for gold and silver is very strong.
Some analysts believe gold could even trade even higher.
"We as a company believe that we may see $1,600 an ounce by the end of the year," Angelos Damaskos, a fund manager at Sector Investments, which specializes in gold and oil investments,told the BBC.
"But gold could easily surprise everybody and go to significantly higher levels because of the relatively small supply of the metal," he said.
Dollar Weakens
While commodities head to new highs, the dollar may be headed for record lows.
It has been getting weaker all year in the international markets. Few analysts see any end in sight for its decline.
"It's the dollar play," said a Singapore-based dealer, referring to the gold rally. "There is more room for prices to go even higher."
China may start moving away from the dollar. Some leading Chinese bankers believe their country should diversify some of their international investments out of the dollar into other securities.
"Investors expect the Fed to continue with low rates, which means the dollar could be even weaker, unless there were game-changing comments from (Chairman Ben) Bernanke," said Ong Yin Ling, with Phillip Futures.

Sweet Hour of Prayer Sheet Music
A New Age Piano Solo arrangement of Chas Hathaway's arrangement of Sweet Hour of Prayer.
Printable PDF Download $3.95
MP3 Download $.99
God hears your prayers—every one of them. Just because you don't always feel it doesn't mean He's not listening. He's always listening.
Usually the struggle comes with recognizing His answers. Sometimes He answers with thoughts or ideas, sometimes through dreams or direct communication. Occasionally He uses coincidences, and often He uses other people. But if you persist, the answers will come. Sometimes it may take an entire "hour of prayer," but the hour will be sweet, and if you receive an answer, it's worth it.
If you don't have faith in your ability to hear and recognize answers to prayer, at least have faith in God's ability to reach you anyway.

It was called the SB-180 and is an incredible SBC.
Unfortunately, they are no longer made and as rare as hens teeth these
Please someone show me I am wrong and these are available someplace.
I think the P112 shares the same fate. Awesome SBC but no longer
Maybe someone will make them available again someday. We can only
Best of luck in your search!

So you want to make a million dollars this year?
Yes, I am talking to YOU. How do I know you are here? Because my search stats tells me that everyday hundreds of people are finding this page by searching any number of variations on making a million in a year.
If you scroll down you can see the original blog post that was written that attracted Google, etc. to this page. It's still a good post, and has good information, but lets be serious. We want to make a LOT of sick cash, and NOW. So, the action plan is to read the blog post, but also.. and FIRST, to consider this.
You could have searched to make Ten Thousand dollars. You could have searched to make One hundred thousand in a year. You could have searched even to make $500,000 this year. But you didn't. You searched on how to make a million dollars. You are serious. you are game on. And you are in the RIGHT Place.
So if you would like access to this information then sign up to this special email and the report for making 1 million in a year will be on it's way. I don't want to run the risk of just posting the information here and allowing it to leak to the public at large.. so if you are serious. You know what to do:
Read on to find the original blog post on the subject: …
Here was the challenge My Mr. X posed me with in this post last month (be sure to read the comments on that post – good stuff!) :
Assuming you currently do not have a web presence and no other online assets, how can you make 1 million dollars in 12 months?
First of all, Mr X is becoming a way overused moniker for someone who makes a crapload of money but wants to remain anonymous .. We are given the impression that people would be stalking and calling him all hours of the day, beating his secrets out of him. Mr X is getting a new name, since any Mr X I consort with is WAY cooler and simply cant share his title of Mr X with a bunch of other zombie face millionaires. Any Suggestions? Agent Money maybe?
Back to the money:
This is a unique challenge since MOST people have some leg to stand on… some 'stuff' in their arsenal.
Here we are just waking up one day.. and deciding to become an online millionaire.
To that I say… NO PROBLEM!!
In an industry that interests you, and assuming you are really broke, figure out ANY way possible to get yourself there. Borrow. Beg. Comandeer some moolah! Meeting like minded people face to face wont put money in your pocket immediately, but will open doors, as many doors as you have the time and energy to pursue.
Want proof? I just went to a convention at the end of February 08. Here is my Paypal account balance from Feb 17th 08 until March 1st 08: (I split it up to remove the private info and have it fit on the screen)
Now, Here is my current paypal account balance up to May 7th '08. And it will be growing. 90% from the relationships at the conference and I have been back just over 2 months.
(btw – you can see that I joined a membership, and that allowed me to cancel a different one that I didnt need anymore)
Lets assume you have some skill or talent. Find some ugly backwards but high ranking website in your niche, and SHOW them what you can do for them. Dont send a stupid email. Go to WHO IS, call them up, Fed EX them a personal letter (if you can afford the postage) and do this for MULTIPLE people in your niche. From there the possibilities are endless from a simple affiliate relationship to a product you could whip up as an expert to a split equity deal. It will be the cheapest and fastest way for YOU to grow a high ranking website and make it fast!
Want Proof? I dont have figures, but showing you that I am putting my money where my mouth is: The launch I am working on that I invited you to witness is for a website that belongs to 'my company' but is exactly as described above : Ugly, backwards, high ranking, and niche. This guy approaches me, lets call him YOU for now, since he is following the steps I advise, and asks me to promote his product. Then I become YOU, since I actually tell him.. thats not good enough! I dont want to promote some stupid ebook and make a couple of dollars! I want to blow this out! We are dedicating part of the site to this launch experience, and you have been invited to watch. If you have patience since we are both busy!
Start putting yourself out there and draw attention to yourself. Garner market interest by being either controversial, out there, influential, funny… How much will it cost? Well assuming you dont already own a digital camera that can do videos, you could prob get a little flip camera or $79 dollar Samsung (the kind you get kids for their Bar Mitzvah, and the kind I have used for all my videos so far), go to UStream or youtube or anywhere and try out for online contests or reply to other peoples videos, and start talking about your niche..
Want Proof?
I should be called the 'always a contestant, never a winner'.. but I would beg to differ. Exactly a year ago, I submitted my first video ever. A timid, shy, hint of personality, a little loserish entry to the next internet millionaire: (I cant even watch it anymore)
I entered a few other contests and look at how I was referred to a mere 7 videos and 9 months later. The 'FAMOUS Andrea' … not that this is my finest work, but
"The Famous "Andrea†Shares Her Top Event Highlights":
I went from earning – well a lot less than I could – to being approached by an online marketing genius (may he rest in peace) who invested in me, to having personal relationships with many whom I only admired from afar in the past, to gaining serious leverage as a result of all the above, and the ONLY reason I am not seeing the figures I would be otherwise is due to very unfortunate circumstances that has naturally caused a very big setback (refer to may he rest in peace above for clarification).
Become your OWN tupperware party! What do I mean? If you know about online marketing, then you are in the .00001% of the population who does. Whenever I leave my house to hang out with the common people , everyone wants a piece of you. I mean we are skilled in a multi billion dollar industry of how to make money online from HOME. I could be next to Pamela Anderson and still wow the crowd (man.. this ego trip is out of control today!)
Want Proof? Anytime I run into a group of people who are interested, I am able to do one of the following:
Just to be honest.. I give away a lot of information for free.. If you enjoy what you do, the adrenaline is obvious, and people respond to it! I mean if making money from home online wasnt enough of a selling point, seeing someone happy and excited certainly helps! This blog is free, there is ample free stuff online. Its not like I am telling them something they cant discover on their own if they had the time, the patience and the skills. I respect that and am happy to give away the farm.
Then WORD OF MOUTH spreads and you can be your own guru to the locals.
This blog post is referring to those who are looking to make a million dollars since they will work hard for it, have the drive, ambition, passion, and ability to succeed. Everyone else inherits it, marries it, or is in Hollywood.
Approach a big company and tell them what you can do for them and that your earnings will be a %age share on the growth of the company. This requires some careful attention to detail and hard work, but if they have some capital willing to back you up, this could be a great golden ticket, since those %age residuals could be very cushy and you would certainly earn the respect of the company, and the referrals would define your continual rise to the top of the food chain.
Want Proof? Working on it .
P.S. If you just can't WAIT and want to know how everyone else is doing it – then you will want to check this out.

$10 million dollars for silence?
Did he kill someone?
TMZ has learned Rachel Uchitel -- the pilgrim of alleged mistresses -- settled up with Tiger Woods for waaaaaaay more than you think ... as in $10 MILLION!! There were numerous reports Rachel settled on the brink of holding a Gloria Allred-style news conference for anywhere between $2 - 5 million. But our sources -- and they are good -- tell TMZ Tiger was so concerned with the depth and detail of information from Alleged Mistress #1 that they folded like a cheap suit, and offered the huge $10 million sum in return for an ironclad confidentiality agreement.TMZ has learned the actual settlement could fluctuate $1 million either way, depending on future circumstances. But the baseline is $10 mil.Compare Rachel's settlement with what other A.M's received, if they got anything at all. We're told several mistresses got several hundred thousand dollars, and others got nothing. That speaks volumes about how much Rachel knows.Insiders are saying Rachel's settlement could be a precursor to what Elin Nordegren could get if she pulls the plug on her marriage to Tiger. Reports that Elin could get $300 million under the prenup are absurd. It's more likely the prenup is in the $5 - 10 million range, with provisions for support. But insiders tell us -- with the backdrop of Rachel's settlement -- there's no way Tiger would get off cheaper than $20 mil.Read more: http://... [More]
Now Michael Jordan is ready for a new title: NBA owner.
minutes to go until his exclusive negotiating window was to expire,
Jordan struck a deal late Friday night to buy controlling interest of
the Charlotte Bobcats, putting the six-time NBA champion in charge of the money-losing team in his home state.
Bob Johnson announced in a statement that he's agreed to sell the
Bobcats to Jordan, who has been a part-owner of the team since 2006.
Jordan has been running the team's basketball operations.
purchase price and details of Jordan's ownership group -- called MJ
Basketball Holdings LLC -- weren't immediately available. A spokeswoman
for Johnson and a spokesman for Jordan said neither was available for
comment early Saturday.
The league's owners must approve the purchase.
Jordan was in competition with former Houston Rockets
executive George Postolos, who also had an ownership group together to
buy the team. But Postolos said Jordan had the exclusive right to buy
the club until just before midnight Friday night.
Jordan hit another last-second shot -- reaching a deal minutes before the deadline.

Jammie Thomas-Rasset's case was the first such copyright
infringement case to go to trial in the United States, her attorney
Attorney Joe Sibley said that his client was shocked at
fine, noting that the price tag on the songs she downloaded was 99
She plans to appeal, he said.
Cara Duckworth, a spokeswoman for the Recording Industry Association of America, said the RIIA was "pleased that the jury agreed with the evidence and found the defendant liable."
"We appreciate the jury's service and that they take this as seriously as we do," she said.
Thomas-Rasset downloaded work by artists such as No Doubt, Linkin Park, Gloria Estefan and Sheryl Crow.
This was the second trial for Thomas-Rasset. The judge ordered a
retrial in 2007 after there was an error in the wording of jury
The fines jumped considerably from the first trial, which granted just $22,000 to the recording companies.

Raphaelle is sixteen and always seems to get herself in trouble, no matter what she does. She can't seem to do anything–even draw, which she loves–without angering someone. When her father moves her family to a smaller city, Raphaelle wants to leave behind her rebel persona and start fresh, but it isn't long before "Ella" reverts to her radical ways, causing waves at her school and attracting the eye of a boy named Samir–a Palestinian Muslim who is very different from her Catholic family.
Gabrielle Prendergast's strong verse novel is chock-full of action, memorable characters, and provocative themes. A thoroughly modern take on finding one's identity, this novel is sparse with words but paints a vivid picture. Readers should devour this one and wait eagerly for its planned follow-up.
Ella is a strong narrator, offering readers insight into her fragile family life (her mother harbors an eating disorder, her sister seems to do no wrong, and her father ignores everyone) and her own psyche. She wants more than anything to do what she believes to be the right thing but also remain true to herself and her beliefs, but she keeps finding that the two cannot coexist peacefully. Her radical, artistic side is her true self, but she battles with it for a good portion of the book.
Also interesting are the secondary characters, which round out this rich and riveting tale. Especially noteworthy is Samir, Ella's love interest. A Palestinian Muslim by birth, Samir is also drawn to radical art, and the two cause a stir, albeit in very different ways. Prendergast is careful to give all her characters dimension, and the story is all the better for it.
There are moments where the narrative seems to slip into a bit of didacticism, but the story as a whole is so well done that it hardly matters. Prendergast explores a plethora of topics, including religious prejudice, sex, censorship, and eating disorders, and all of it is done exceedingly well. The fact that she has such a profound understanding of the teenage search for identity comes across clearly here.
A standout. Highly recommended.

Our stay at Casa do Vigário was perfect, we had no problem. The apartment is small but cozy. The first Christian day received us with a delicious cream pastéis and to leave there were no problems with the times, we are at the time we wanted. The apartment is next to the National Pantheon and barks fair also is also very close to Santa Apolonia station where we caught the subway to get around the city. Certainly the location of the apartment was great, and everything in general, also, to repeat.
Nuestra estancia en Casa do Vigário ha sido perfecta, no hemos tenido ningún problema. El piso es pequeño pero muy acogedor. El primer día Cristiana nos recibió con unos pastéis de nata deliciosos y para marcharnos no hubo ningún problema con los horarios, quedamos a la hora que quisimos. El piso está al lado del Panteón Nacional y a la feria de ladra, además también está muy cerca de la estación de Santa Apolonia donde cogíamos el metro para movernos por la ciudad. Sin duda la localización del apartamento estaba genial, y todo en general, también, para repetir.
Excellent stay, very well located apartment in the heart of Alfama. View over the Tagus River. Very attentive host. Highly recommended.
Excellent séjour, appartement très bien situé, au coeur de l'Alfama. Vue imprenable sur le Tage. Hôte très attentionné. Hautement recommandé.
The apartment is very well equipped and very clean, but for 4 people is too small. The center is about 10-15 min. walk.
El apartamento está muy bien equipado y muy limpio, pero para 4 personas es demasiado pequeño. El centro está a unos 10-15 min. andando.
We had a great time in Christovaos Apartment.
It is cosy, clean and very central.
From there, you can walk to most of the destinations.
Christovao is nice and helps you in any question.
We would definetely recommend to choose this place!
Apartment very well located, cozy and comfortable with all the equipment necessary to spend a few days in Lisbon. Very warm welcome from Cristovao and Cristiana.
Appartement très bien situé, cosy et confortable avec tout l'équipement nécessaire pour passer quelques jours à Lisbonne. Accueil très sympathique de Cristovao et Cristiana.
Nice apartment tucked away off the beaten track. Would recommend
The apartment is perfectly located in the alfama. You have a perfect view of the tejo and the castle. Although the rooms appear smaller than in the photo there was enough place for us (four adults). There is a double bed in one and a single bed with a fold-up bed in the other room.
The apartment is perfectly equipped and has everything you need for your stay.
The area is quite and when there is the fado-evening you love to sit on the mini-balkony, enjoying the view and listening to the great sound of Fado.
Cristovao was a good host. The check-in was like agreed and it was no problem to contact him on the phone. Thank you very much and your team.
Thank you also for the nice welcome present: a bottle of wine.
We realy enjoyed our stay in the Casa do Vigario, would recommend it and absolutely love to come back.
Emilija and family
We, two parents with daughter 12 years old, were very happy with our stay. The apartement is very small but pretty,tidy and with everything you need and the location is super; it is near Metro, quiet and you get the feeling of everyday life, which we appreciate. The doublebed is somewhat hard and I was worried that I would not sleep well but it was OK. All in all we recommend it warmly. Malin, Mans and Metta Ahlner.
We have been here with our three children. The appartment is basic, but has everything you need. Three bedrooms, a kitchen and a small shower which was always warm. Some noise of the neighbours. The neighbourhood is lively and in Alfama. A lot of restaurants nearby.
Travel in early February with family (young grandma, parents, baby) for a week - to recommend apartment very much! Good location to reach everything on foot, only Arriving suitcases a bit difficult, as uphill on cobblestones ;)
Very, very nice reception with a good explanation of where that can be found. Call option in case of problems (which we have not used, since we had no problems).
Apartment itself quite noisy, but large enough not to stand on the feet. No super-luxury, all-moderately basic furnished but perfectly adequate for a sightseeing holiday, where you just do not work as much "at home" is.
We enjoyed the stay and would recommend this condo!
Reise Anfang Februar mit Familie (junge Oma, Eltern, Baby) für eine Woche - Appartement sehr zu empfehlen! Gute Lage, alles zu Fuss zu erreichen, nur Anreise mit Koffern ein bisschen beschwerlich, da bergauf auf Kopfsteinpflaster ;)
Sehr, sehr netter Empfang mit guter Erklärung, wo was zu finden ist. Möglichkeit bei Problemen anzurufen (die wir nicht genutzt haben, da wir keine Probleme hatten!).
Appartement selber recht hellhörig, aber gross genug, um sich nicht auf den Füssen zu stehen. Kein super Luxus, alles basic-mässig eingerichtet aber völlig ausreichend für einen Stadtbesichtigungsurlaub, bei dem man ja sowieso nicht so viel "zuhause" ist.
Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und würden dieses Appartement weiter empfehlen!

Cedar Rapids puts hold on new billboards
Published 5:22 AM CST Feb 02, 2013
Officials in Cedar Rapids are imposing a six-month moratorium on permit requests for new billboards and digital signs.
The City Council voted unanimously on the moratorium Friday.
The city's Department of Community Development, which will help the council set new rules to be in place within 120 days, will meet with sign companies to discuss sign density, locations and other issues.
The station reports the council has discussed changing the rules for billboards and digital signs for months. As a result, sign companies have been filing requests for new signs ahead of the vote.

Can you define these popular missing words?
sweet milk as that derived from the male specimen's of the species homosapiens. Extracted from the nipple and not to be confused with spunk.
If you stimulate the nipple regularly over a period of time,it is possible to dispense man's milk.

most current ATX cases use soft power controls instead of the old
hard switches. There's a pin on the large connector that needs to be
grounded to power the supply up; I don't remember which one. Even if
the supply has a built in switch, the soft power has to be grounded for
