A mocking term for someone who's trying to look like they have a lot of money but is actually quite poor. If millionaires are worth millions, hundredaires are worth hundreds.
"Hey, check out this new jacket!"
"Yes, you look like a hundredaire in that."
"Every time I get my paycheck, I feel like a hundredaire."
"Yes, you look like a hundredaire in that."

a person who blows most of there earnings/handouts trying to get rich one scratch-off at a time. Holding up lines in a store near you.
Bosko may be the most wretched of all of the trailer park's hundredaires. He steals money from old she-male sailors and then putters down to the local convenient mart to try to win meth money on scratch off tickets.

North Augusta City Council held a meeting in which there were many discussions on possible changes for the City and how this would in turn impact the community.
City Administrator Todd Glover opened the meeting by updating the Council on the beautification of the Highway 25 streetscape. He discussed landscaping plans between the new McDonald's and Circle K, and how there could possibly be an entryway sign for the City. Glover contacted South Carolina Department of Transportation, and SCDOT has agreed to amend the plans so brick paving that will match the streetscape on West Avenue can be done on the small medians.
There will also be a new light on Walnut Lane, along with landscaping along the street to make it have more of a look and feel that matches the City.
The application of these changes will be done in phases and will begin north of I-20.
"We have a real opportunity to do some real improvements for this area," Glover said.
Approximately $718,000 was received in excess funds from the surplus check from project sales tax.
Glover spoke about how station three is currently underfunded 50 to 60 percent, and he believes that would be "a good use of this money, at least some of it."
Another item that may receive monetary support from this surplus was the lighting on Fairfield Road, and that was estimated to cost around $200,000.
Director of Parks, Recreation and Leisure Services Rick Meyer brought an update before the Council about the boat courtesy dock proposal that caused a line of questioning about the possible location. The placement is currently set to be behind the activity center, and the project is fully funded. The drop off to the river is steep, and the area could be used as a dock that will not eliminate the beach.
"I'm not so much against it. I just do not know if that is the best location," said Mayor Lark Jones.
Other members also wanted to know if the location could be changed to better suit the uses for the people.

New York —The suffragists who 90 years ago won voting rights for women would likely shake their heads in wonder at this fall's elections with their "mama grizzly" candidates and high-stakes woman-vs.-woman showdowns.
The women in key races include a rancher and three multimillionaire former CEOs, one a pro-wrestling magnate. Oklahoma and New Mexico each seems assured of electing a first female governor after both major parties nominated women.
Yet, in spite of celebrations marking the adoption of the 19th Amendment in 1920 — including today's at the Women's Rights National Historical Park, in Seneca Falls — women's share of high-level political power in the United States still lags behind scores of other nations.
Women hold 17 percent of the seats in Congress, well below Europe's 22 percent and far behind the Nordic countries' 42 percent.
Until 1992, no more than two women had ever been elected to serve in the U.S. Senate at the same time. Currently, 17 of the 100 senators are women, among them New York's Kirsten Gillibrand, who was appointed to the seat left vacant when Hillary Rodham Clinton became secretary of state.
"I think we are making progress," Gillibrand said. "I don't think we're where we need to be."
Congress is still male-dominated, she said, but there are "shining examples of women in leadership," including the House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and several committee chairs.
"Syracuse is cutting-edge when it comes to women in leadership," she said.
What about the top job in the White House? The major parties have yet to nominate a woman for president. Clinton's campaign for the Democratic nomination in 2008 collected 18 million votes but fell short of victory.
"The handful of women that you see near the top is just that — a handful," said Erin Vilardi, of the White House Project, which seeks to expand women's role in politics.
"At the congressional level, both parties have a hell of a lot of work to do," Vilardi said. "The culture is still very dominantly male."
That was certainly a theme in Colorado, where Ken Buck won the GOP Senate nomination, despite criticism for saying he should be supported over rival Jane Norton "because I do not wear high heels."
Still, among the notable developments in this year's campaign is the emergence of conservative women running as Republicans.
Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List — which backs female candidates opposed to abortion — said the surge of women running as anti-abortion conservatives reflected a "war over who gets to define what feminism means."
"There's an unsettling of the political apple cart," Dannenfelser said. "Sarah Palin kicked the door open, and a lot of women started going through."
Among the races being watched:
- In California, wealthy businesswomen Meg Whitman, the ex-CEO of eBay, and Carly Fiorina, ex-CEO of Hewlett-Packard, are the GOP nominees for governor and Senate. Fiorina is the first Republican woman to take on the Democratic incumbent, Barbara Boxer, since Boxer entered the Senate in 1992, and the race has captured national attention.
- One of the most distinctive female candidates is Linda McMahon, former CEO of the World Wrestling Entertainment empire, and the GOP nominee for U.S. Senate in Connecticut. McMahon, who said she'll spend up to $50 million of her own money on the race, was nicknamed "Crotch-kicker" in a statement from the Democratic National Committee.
- In South Dakota, the race for the state's lone House seat pits incumbent Democrat Stephanie Herseth-Sandlin against Republican legislator Kristi Noem — both of them working moms who grew up on farms. Noem is one of several GOP female candidates dubbed "mama grizzlies" because of traits shared with Palin, the Republican Party's 2008 vice presidential nominee.
- In New Mexico, Democrat Diane Denish, the lieutenant governor since 2003, is competing for governor against the GOP's Susana Martinez, a Latina district attorney who has drawn attention for her tough stance on illegal immigration.
- And in Oklahoma, Republican U.S. Rep. Mary Fallin is favored in the governor's race over Democratic Lt. Gov. Jari Askins.
According to the Center for American Women in Politics at Rutgers University, there have been only two other woman-versus-woman gubernatorial contests in U.S. history: in Nebraska in 1986 and Hawaii in 2002.
Worldwide, women hold 19 percent of the seats in national legislatures, according to the Inter-Parliamentary Union. Its rankings of 186 nations — based on the percentage of women in the single or lower chamber of the legislature — has the U.S. tied for 90th with Turkmenistan.
Terry O'Neill, president of the National Organization for Women, described the percentage of women in Congress as "abysmal" and said the United States should be ashamed that it's one of only seven U.N. members — in company with Iran and Sudan — that hasn't ratified a 30-year-old women's rights treaty, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women.

Cabin Fever
by Bob Bonner
posted Mar 14 2013 8:59AM
My wife Terri and I...like many people right now...got a little stir crazy, and decided to get away for a quick weekend somewhere, anywhere but home. We packed up the car and took off for one of our fav spots, Door County. A great idea, but unfortunately I should have done my homework a bit better. Many of our fav stops while visiting the Door...were closed! Not all, but many. We did get our oil fix at the Oilery in Fish Creek. We also made the wine tasting rounds. Stone's Throw, Penninsula, Simmons Creek, but the eateries were limited. We stayed in a cool little motel right on 42. It was a cold rainy Saturday night, but there we were in their glass enclosed indoor pool and hot tub sipping Margaritas. The cool thing about the off season, is that we pretty much had the pool to ourselves. I recommend a little cabin fever getaway. It works wonders!

A mega sized version of beer pong patented by five boys in Schenectady, NY. To be played on a tennis court with 2 teams of 2 using 6 garbage cans (3 cans per side) and a basketball. When it is your turn to throw, try to get the basketball in one of the other team's garbage cans. If you succeed that garbage can is removed from the playing field and one player on the other team chugs a can of beer. The team that runs out of garbage cans first, loses.
Dude, Beer Mega Pong is definitley the best game ever, we've been playing for like 3 hours.

Move over, Katniss.
During the MTV Video Music Awards Sunday night, a trailer was shown for "Divergent," a futuristic, young adult sci-fi thriller based off the books by Veronica Roth, which looks and feels a lot like "The Hunger Games" series.
Starring Shailene Woodley and Theo James, the film follows a dystopian world where teens ascending into adulthood must choose one of five factions of society with which to identify.
But Tris Prior (Woodley) is a divergent, an apparently very dangerous person who does not fit into any of the categories and threatens the order of the community around her, The Hollywood Reporter said.
And of course, there is a war looming, and 16-year-old Prior's actions and decisions play a major part, the website said.
So, to recap, a rebellious teenage girl in a dystopian world impacts a war and must make some difficult decisions. Sound familiar?
Time will tell if "Divergent" will take off like the "Hunger Games" series has.
The film, the first of a franchise by Summit, will hit theaters March 21, 2014.
Side note: Woodley needs to be more decisive
The actress, best known for starring in ABC Family's "The Secret Life of the American Teenager," playeda pregnant high school student who didn't know who to love and now, in futuristic, dystopian Chicago, her inability to fit in threatens the whole world. Get it together, girl.

THE EXTENSIVE MARKETING campaign for "Anchorman 2″ rolled on last night when Will Ferrell (as Ron Burgundy) joined the TSN broadcast booth during the Canadian Olympic curling trials in Manitoba.
He served as guest commentator for a half hour. You can watch the entire broadcast on TSN, but here's a highlight reel.
Some of his better quotes:
"Winnipeg is the Paris of Canada."
"Speaking of the hog line, I understand most of the teams eat a diet rich in pork."
The trials last all week and Sunday night was opening night, so there weren't really critical matches going on while Ferrell was in the booth.

King County caught withholding documents
by Jeanette Knutson
Staff writer
In principle, Kenmore residents Dan and Bonnie Olsen are not opposed to development. In fact, they're all for development ... of a reasonable size, said Dan.
But one day some three years ago, whilst sitting in traffic ‹ you know, the Kenmore 4 to 5 p.m. quagmire ‹ Dan started thinking about the additional 13,000-plus vehicle trips per day projected for the area if the proposed LakePointe development became a reality.
LakePointe, a 45-acre residential-commercial development planned for Kenmore, is slated to include 1,200 residential units, 400,000 square feet of retail and commercial space, 200,000 square feet of office space, 4,500 parking spaces, a 52-slip marina, an amphitheatre and trails.
Dan's notion of even worse traffic congestion in the future spurred his interest in how the county was handling the traffic aspect of the development.
He and his wife did what citizens can do. They became involved, attended meetings, had their say.
When on Jan. 13, 1999, Ronald J. Paananen, a King County road engineer, issued a letter deeming traffic standards at a certain Kenmore intersection "infeasible," but granted a special exception, in essence giving the go-ahead to the LakePointe project anyway, the Olsens were shocked.
On Jan. 22 they requested under the Public Disclosure Act that all documents used or considered in granting that special exception be handed over.
State Court of Appeals documents reveal the county handed over 13 documents ... but withheld one.
At first, the Olsens did not know that anything was withheld. It wasn't until November 1999 that Bonnie, while going through LakePointe files in Kenmore ‹ as public disclosure rules allow ‹ discovered a Jan. 6, 1999 memo with an attached document. The memo and document seemed odd to Bonnie. An attorney for the LakePointe development had written them. A red flag went up. Something wasn't right.
State Court of Appeals documents indicate that the withheld memo was set out in language nearly identical to the Jan. 13, 1999 letter of special exception. And it was written only seven days prior to the letter of exception.
The Olsens figured that it was from this Jan. 6, 1999 (withheld) memo that the Jan. 13, 1999 letter of special exception was drawn. This meant that King County used the developer's memo and attachment to draw up their reasons for allowing the exception. (The couple later learned their hunch was right. King County Senior Transportation Planner John Shively admitted to Dan Olsen that the county used the memo and attachment to draft the letter granting exception.)
On Dec. 22, 1999, a letter was sent on the Olsens' behalf to County Executive Ron Sims asking him to investigate the county's failure to make a key document available.
The short version of Sims' response was that the memorandum "did not contain any new information used or considered ... in granting the [s]pecial [e]xception." He further explained that the information contained in the memorandum "in no way influenced the preceding year's decision to allow an exception," court documents state.
On April 27, 2000, the couple took their disagreement with the county to King County Superior Court, asking the trial court to order the county to produce all appropriate documents used or considered in the formulation of the special exception.
But they lost. The county argued it had decided to grant the exception long before LakePointe's lawyer had written the Jan. 6, 1999 memo. The county maintained that the special exemption was made in August of 1998, not in January of 99 as the Olsens contended.
The Olsens appealed the court ruling. And they won. A state Court of Appeals published opinion filed June 4 states that King County violated the Public Disclosure Act when it refused to hand over that traffic-related document concerning the LakePoint development. It must hand over the document in question. In addition, the case has been remanded to King County Superior Court to determine an appropriate award for the Olsens. The award would include the cost incurred by the Olsens for fighting the case ‹ and its appeal ‹ plus a payment of $5 to $100 for each day the Olsens were denied access to the document.
Was it inappropriate to have the developer's lawyer draft a document which would be used by the county as the basis for the findings for exception?
Bonnie Olsen thinks so.
"There should have been separate interests there. "There should be some distinction between the regulated and the regulator," she said.
"The main thing," said Dan, "is that a document was withheld. This signals that something was improper."
A Seattle Times article quotes county road engineer Paananen who wrote the Jan. 13 letter of special exception as saying, "It's not unusual for us to make the developers do some work, to justify why their development should move ahead. We are in more of an approval position. We routinely require developers to make those type of decisions."
Dan Olsen thinks this King County employee is minimizing the significance of what they've done.
"When someone who has a vested interest, a developer, will create the draft of a county decision in a way that is beneficial to the developer, there's a bias," he said.

GUYMON - Seaboard Foods plans to build a biodiesel plant in Guymon that would become Oklahoma's third such operational plant.
Plans are for the plant to use animal fats, including pork fat - a byproduct of Seaboard Foods' pork processing plant in Guymon - and vegetable oils as the feedstock for biodiesel. The plant will be a part of a newly created subsidiary of Seaboard Foods known as High Plains Bioenergy.
Seaboard Foods, based in Shawnee Mission, Kan., hopes to finish the plant by November and open next year. It will produce about 30 million gallons of biodiesel annually and employ 30 to 35 people when operational, the company said Tuesday.
It will be the first venture into renewable energy by Seaboard Foods.
"High Plains Bioenergy will focus on finding renewable energy sources from our integrated system," said Ron Brenneman, the president of Seaboard Foods and High Plains Bioenergy. "We're always looking for opportunities to strategically add value to our system, and the biodiesel plant fits well with our long-term plans."

Virginia Wright Knauer, 96, a groundbreaking member of Philadelphia City Council in the 1960s who became a groundbreaking federal consumer-affairs chief under Presidents Nixon, Ford, and Reagan, died Sunday, Oct. 16, at her home in Washington.
In biographical material supplied for her obituary, her family wrote about her approach to consumer protection:
"Believing that confrontation between consumers and business was counterproductive, Mrs. Knauer initiated working partnerships among government, business, and consumers to resolve consumer problems through voluntary approaches and marketplace competition, rather than through legislation or regulation."
The family material said that "Mrs. Knauer's views on consumerism were often at odds with those at the forefront of that [consumer] revolution.

Request: Will the Spiritually Evolved Beings Please Stop Feeding the Egos
Poster Handle
Anonymous Coward
Post Content
The reason that most spiritual teachings have been sheltered away from the common person throughout the histroy of the world is twofold 1) the common person would gain little benefit from evolution systems in a base state lacking the prerequisite condition 2) to preserve the integrity of these systems against the possibility of a person lacking sufficient comprehension and understanding of the material yet with sufficient knowledge to contribute falsehoods and misunderstandings to the larger discourse.
The little known secret to all these practices is that they DO VERY LITTLE to NOTHING for the psychological neurosis of the mind. In fact, one of the traditional great dangers of all these systems and in the whole guru system in general is the danger of markers of spiritual progress being faked or counterfitted by the conscious mind (both with intention and without intention) and the energy freed by the various practices, instead of being applied with integrity to the system for the evolution of the spirit to meet the eternal soul, go to fuel any number of neurotic ego-driven pathologies so commonly noted in the modern world today.
With this in mind, the dangling of the promises of the spiritual systems of the world in the face of one who is suffering NOT with some greater metaphysical dilemna but in fact with the weight of their own mis-programmed (from the faults of society and family) mind DOES THE SUFFERER NO FAVORS but insteads performs the role of a spell in witchcraft to chain their emotional well-being to the attainment of some kind of magickal sigil (which can be a concept or a physical mark), depriving the person of their own power and empowering THE OTHER, whether this be a book, a meditation, an evoked diety, or the guru.
With this in mind, what the average person needs from the evolved souls is not a diatribe on spiritual evolution or the promises of the Great Work, but rather a framing of the issue of each and every person's unique life which makes their suffering SIGNFICANT and IMPORTANT to THEM, an exploration of the origins and causes of their day to day struggles and simple understandings which point to the reasons why the things which come up in the mind and in the world act the way they do upon the individual, both as a product of their own lives and a product of the larger evolutionary enterprise known as humanity.
It is through the day to day realization of the nature of the STRUGGLE, that the mind can acheive the peace it needs to give the spirit the power required to make the first infant steps on the way to the permanent relieving of suffering that comes from evolution.
Human children cannot be given a discourse on the nature of walking, they must instead be fed and protected so they can grow until they can observe enough of walking to have the ability to do it without thought, to walk towards the light as a reflex and unstoppable inate drive!
Least Servant
You are talking about psychotherapy. Why not just let the infants true parents provide for it, why not impress how that child's true parents care in away only parents can.....why not just trust in God, a True Father? The rest is just going through the motions.

20 minPrep Time
1 hr, 45 Cook Time
2 hr, 5 Total Time
- 2 lbs stewing beef, cut into 2" chunks
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1 tsp basil
- pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- --
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 carrot, peeled and chopped
- 1 celery, chopped
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- --
- 2 - 284 mL cans undiluted beef consomme
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 bay leaves
- --
- 2 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 2 celery, cut into chunks
- 2 parsnips, peeled and cut into chunks
- Heat up olive oil in a frying pan.
- In a shallow dish, combine flour, basil and pepper. Dredge the meat in the flour mixture. Shake off excess flour, then brown the meat in the oil.
- When the meat is cooked, transfer it over to a large stockpot. Set aside.
- In the same frying pan that was used to cook the meat, if needed, add 1 tbsp olive oil, and cook chopped onions, carrots, celery and garlic. Cook until softened, then add to stockpot with the meat.
- Turn the heat under the stock pot on to med-high, and add the consomme, Worcestershire sauce and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then turn down to low-med heat, cover with a lid, and cook for about 1 hour.
- After the 1 hour cooking time, add the big chunks of carrots, celery and parsnips.
- Simmer for 30-45 minutes more, or until the meat is tender and the veggies are cooked.
– – –
- If you don't like parsnips, use potatoes instead.
- If the gravy is not thick enough, add 1-2 tbsp kneaded butter. Kneaded butter is equal parts flour and butter, mixed into a paste. This is a trick I learned from the Joy of Cooking. Don't add too much or your gravy will taste flour-y.

U.S. Department of State Daily Press Briefing
February 4, 1997 Briefer: Nicholas Burns
14-15, 17-19 Senator Helms Proposals re: UN Reform/Consolidation of Foreign Affairs Agencies/CWC
IRAQ 10-12 Compliance w/Internat'l. Commitments 12 Food Deliveries
RUSSIA 12-13 Gore-Chernomyrdin Mtgs. in Washington
NORTH KOREA 14 Future Mtgs. w/US 25 Negotiations w/Cargill
QUESTION: Can I change the subject to Iraq. There's a story in the German newspaper, Frankfurter Allgemaine Zeitung that the United States is contemplating new action against Iraq because of it's failure to comply on missiles.
MR. BURNS: We've seen some of the press reports that you have seen. Let me just make two brief points. First, the Iraqis lied to the United Nations for five years about their development of advanced missile technology and of chemical and biological weapons. They now say they're telling the truth. We'll see.
We're going to watch the Iraqis closely, relying upon Ambassador Ekeus and the United Nations inspection team to watch them. But we will want to make sure that Iraq complies with its international commitments and with the United Nations.
QUESTION: Could you be a little more specific, as you've just touched on this. There's a long history. What I'd like you to try to address, if you could, is the inquiry based on a continuing uncertainty whether Iraq can be trusted, and you have a long history that would lead you to some uncertainty; or is there new, hard evidence from Mr. Ekeus, who spoke here in Washington before lots of reporters and think tankers last week? Is there something new and concrete, or is it the continuing uncertainty? They don't really expose all their plans? They have a cheat-and-retreat -- as a previous Administration used to say - policy? Have you come upon - or has he and his group come upon any hard evidence of violations that bear exploring now?
MR. BURNS: There's continuing interest in watching the Iraqis like hawks. No, we do not trust the Iraqis. We would be naďve to trust the Iraqis. But, as President Reagan used to say, you've got trust and you've got verification, and we intend to verify to the United Nations that the Iraqis are indeed complying with their international commitments. The Iraqis don't have a right to be a normal country and develop normal weaponry because of their violations of international rules in invading Kuwait nearly seven years ago. So we will watch them, and they have to understand that we'll continue to watch them very closely.
QUESTION: You're not saying there's new evidence. You're saying that we have a good track record - we have a track record to go on, and it causes us to keep a careful watch.
MR. BURNS: We have continued interest, and we'll have continued vigilance in watching them.
QUESTION: Well, they didn't say in the reports there's new material available. You're not verifying.
MR. BURNS: I can't. I'm not in a position to do that, Barry.
QUESTION: You didn't answer Patrick's - the second half of Patrick's question, which some of us (inaudible) from the story, that as a result the United States is contemplating further military action against Iraq.
MR. BURNS: I can't remember a time when the United States tried to flag a military action for any rogue state around the world. Listen, there's no change in our policy here, and there's no heightened interest - there's no heightened concern in Washington. There's continuing vigilance in Washington on this issue, but I simply can't comment on any prospect of the use of military force. We never do.
QUESTION: We gave them a date of invasion. We gave Haiti a date. So it has been done. Not usually.
MR. BURNS: I didn't do that, Barry, no. I don't believe so.
QUESTION: But the Administration worked -
MR. BURNS: I don't remember people doing that.
QUESTION: 15th of January -
MR. BURNS: Barry -
QUESTION: War's over. You get out of Kuwait or we move in, period.
MR. BURNS: You know, we have under - in 19 -
QUESTION: Sometimes you talk real -
MR. BURNS: In 1994 and in 1996, we did undertake certain military actions to counter the Iraqis, and we didn't flag that action for them. But I don't want to raise any undue concerns here. We have an ongoing level of interest regarding the Iraqis, which is a dishonest government. But I'm not trying to flag anything new. And in answer to Barry's question, I'm not in a position to confirm any of these stories about new contradictions in Iraqi performance.
QUESTION: You're not flagging anything new, but does the United States regard as one of its options in the event of Iraqi violations of these various undertakings the use of military force to eliminate whatever violations or -
MR. BURNS: The United States always reserves the right to use its military force to defend its national interests anywhere in the world - anywhere in the world - but I see no reason to heighten your concern in any way pertaining to the situation in the Middle East.
QUESTION: Nick, vaguely the same subject. Has Iraq started receiving yet its shipments of food and humanitarian supplies?
MR. BURNS: I'll have to check on that. U.N. Resolution 986, of course, is underway - the implementation is underway, and I assume some of those food deliveries are underway. But let me check and get back to you tomorrow on that
QUESTION: Do you have anything on the Baker - I'm sorry.
QUESTION: Gore-Chernomyrdin. Still on track, and what focus is the United States going to try to direct these meetings toward?
MR. BURNS: The Gore-Chernomyrdin meetings are very much on track. They'll be held here between the 5th and 7th, Wednesday through Friday. The Vice President and Prime Minister Chernomyrdin have an excellent working relationship. The purpose of the Gore-Chernomyrdin Commission is to focus the two governments in eight working groups, each led by a minister on the respective sides, on moving forward with technological cooperation, scientific cooperation, cooperation in space, cooperation between our two militaries, and on political and foreign policy issues.
This is, I think, one of the more important meetings that we've had. This idea was germinated at the Vancouver Summit in April 1993. Since then, there have been a variety of meetings. But I think this meeting will be the broadest meeting in terms of its scope but also the most important. We'll certainly be interested in discussing a lot of the major political issues concerning European security, and I might add we continue to believe that NATO enlargement is good for NATO and it's the right way, coupled with the NATO-Russia charter and the reform of NATO to provide for security in Europe in the next century. So we'll be talking about all these issues with Prime Minister Chernomyrdin.
QUESTION: Speaking of meetings, when do you expect to see the North Koreans?
MR. BURNS: We'd like to see the North Koreans. We had two meetings scheduled. Now both of those meetings have been postponed. The North Koreans have very important grain negotiations underway, and they prefer to consummate those negotiations before they get on to the meetings with us and the South Koreans in New York. So we're not going to give out any dates for future meetings until we know that the North Koreans actually intend to attend the meetings.
We'll continue talking to them in New York, as we do roughly once per week, and we hope that they'll agree that they ought to come to the briefing, because we ought to move forward with the issue of a peace treaty for the Korean peninsula.
QUESTION: Nick, another question on Secretary Albright. When she went up to Capitol Hill and talked about the Chemical Weapons thing, did she get as discouraging as The Washington Post makes it seem?
MR. BURNS: Let me just say a few words about that. You saw the statement by Senator Helms yesterday, as reported in The Washington Post this morning.
QUESTION: Last week?
MR. BURNS: Excuse me?
QUESTION: Did she learn that last week from him?
MR. BURNS: No, she didn't. She has had a number of discussions on this, but the letter, I think, she learned about the first time about some of the proposals made by Senator Helms. Secretary Albright understands Senator Helms' views concerning reorganization of the foreign affairs agencies and his views on United Nations reform.
She shares the view that both are important issues, and she strongly desires to pursue a bipartisan approach in addressing each of these issues. Secretary Albright strongly disagrees that these issues should be linked to Senate advice and consent to ratification of the Chemical Weapons Convention. Each is an important issue - U.N. reform and consolidation of the foreign affairs agencies - that should be addressed on their own and on their own merits.
She wrote last week in her op-ed in The New York Times a couple of days after being sworn in that the American people deserve a healthy public debate on the Chemical Weapons Convention, in which American interests are weighed and a final vote is taken.
I would just note this. The Chemical Weapons Treaty has enjoyed bipartisan support for a number of years. It was negotiated by the Reagan and Bush Administrations. In fact, it was President Bush that gave the CWC its impetus. Secretary of State Baker negotiated it, and Secretary of State Eagleburger signed it in Paris in mid-January of 1993. The United States negotiated the agreement with the full participation of the private sector of the U.S. chemical industries in the United States, and the chemical industry supports ratification of the CWC.
It's also supported by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and by all agencies of the Executive Branch. So I know that General Normal Schwarzkopf spoke out about it this last week. Let me just read you what he said.
He said, "We don't need chemical weapons to fight our future wars, and frankly by not ratifying that treaty, we align ourselves with nations like Libya and North Korea, and I'd just as soon not be associated with those thugs on this particular issue."
That was General Schwarzkopf speaking very frankly about why we need to ratify the Chemical Weapons Convention. Let me tell you what's at stake here. If the United States Senate does not ratify the Chemical Weapons Convention by April 29th, then the United States will not be able to participate in the critical decisions concerning the implementation of the CWC, including how it's going to be monitored and how it's going to be enforced - how the treaty obligations are going to be enforced. We won't have a say in that whatsoever.
A Senate delay on this means that the United States essentially will be left out in the cold and will have no voice whatsoever in the future international adjudication of that issue. That gets to our credibility, and that affects negatively our leadership on a whole range of arms and proliferation issues. So we think we ought to move forward very quickly and encourage the Senate to ratify it.
You'll see Secretary Albright continue to speak out about this, including, I believe, in her speech in Houston, Texas, on Friday. On that, let me just mention about Houston. We have several reporters who want to go along with us, and they're more than welcome. I'm going to have to close that list at 4:00 p.m. this afternoon, so that we can make sure that we make proper arrangements for all of you coming to Houston to see the meeting with Foreign Minister Gurria, the Secretary's speech and to hear about her meeting with President Bush on Saturday morning in Houston.
QUESTION: Chemical weapons for one second.
MR. BURNS: Yes.
QUESTION: Since there are problems with Congress, I missed in your description of what she's planning to do, exactly how her future contacts will go with Congress on this.
MR. BURNS: Secretary Albright's been up to the Hill a couple of times since being sworn in to talk about Chemical Weapons Convention. You've heard the President talk about it. You'll continue to hear this is a major priority for this Administration - early ratification of the Chemical Weapons Convention. Certainly, we hope before April 29th.
QUESTION: Follow-up. Is she going to see Senator Helms? Is she indeed in touch with him, or is -
MR. BURNS: She's been in touch with Senator Helms. A member of her staff was in touch with Senator Helms yesterday. She intends to be in touch with Senator Helms in the coming days on this.
QUESTION: Is the State Department planning any moves in terms of U.N. reform or the other area - I'm sorry -
MR. BURNS: Consolidation.
QUESTION: Right, consolidation - as a way to sort of appease Helms on this?
MR. BURNS: Let me just be clear. Secretary Albright has great respect for Senator Helms. She wishes to work with him in a bipartisan spirit across the board. On U.N. reform, she's already had a discussion with him and other Senators, and you'll note that the emphasis that the President and Secretary Albright put on this one. Secretary General Kofi Anan was here last week, and the Secretary General has announced that he is moving forward on U.N. reform. We applaud that. We want to see him drive through to success on that.
On consolidation of the foreign affairs agencies, which is an issue that's been around a long time, Secretary Albright said that she has an open mind. She's going to think about this. She's already met with - in fact, she visited each of the agencies: USIA, AID and ACDA - and she'll certainly continue talking to the Senate about this.
Those two issues, we believe, ought to stand by themselves. We don't believe that it's proper to link them to the ratification of the Chemical Weapons Convention. Both of those issues are going to play out over the next year or perhaps the next several years. They are longer-term objectives that will not be fully thought through and resolved in the next two months.
The Chemical Weapons Convention must be ratified by April 29th; and, if we don't ratify it by then, if the Senate doesn't, the United States will be out in the cold and other countries will be standing alongside Libya and North Korea, which is not a very good group to be in, by the way, internationally, and other countries will be making the rules that we will have to live under. That's not a good position for the world leader to be in.
QUESTION: Nick, back into it again, do you restrict your comments about linkage to this particular important convention? Are you prepared to broaden it and suggest that the Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee is out of bounds by trying to use any of the Administration's foreign policy agenda as leverage to force Ms. Albright and the State Department to come to a decision on, for
instance, whether there's a need for an independent U.S. Aid agency?
MR. BURNS: I have chosen my words very carefully. The fact is, we wish to work with Senator Helms cooperatively. He has a right to make proposals. He is the one who has linked these three issues together. We choose not to link them. We don't think it's wise to link them for the reasons that I stated. We need to move very quickly to ratify the Chemical Weapons Convention.
QUESTION: Are you aware of any scenario on the issue of consolidation which he says he has an open mind on and which Warren Christopher had more than an open mind on when he testified. He thought it was a pretty good idea but that thought sort of disintegrated in the bureaucracy after a few weeks.
MR. BURNS: Many years ago; two years ago.
QUESTION: Only four years ago. He had more than open mind. He thought it sounded pretty interesting. ACDA was alarmed, reasonably enough - it would disappear - and the idea went away. How is this going to be played out? Will she come forward at some point and present a reorganization plan? Or will she say, "I thought about it; it doesn't make sense to me to change things?"
MR. BURNS: She has not made up her mind on this. She has an open mind. There are no concrete plans that I know of that would take us down the road very far right now. That's a big issue. That's a very big issue: Consolidation. It will have an impact on our foreign policy, on the way we conduct it, on thousands of people in the Foreign Affairs Agencies. So we need to figure out what's rational and what's right. She has an open mind. She'll look into it.
But here's the major point that I think you're making, implicitly, if I
can say that, and that is, that's a longer-term issue. CWC is a
short-term issue. Therefore, let's delink and let's go forward on the
Chemical Weapons Convention.

I know of two cases where you would want an animated GIF, but it won't do the trick:
I created an alternative using some images and a piece of javascript, and turned it into a jQuery plugin.
What you need is images like these:
Name them like:
circleball-1.png, circleball-2.png … circleball-8.png
Put a container on your page, like a span or a div, and use the plugin like this:
$(".circleball").animateImages("/images/circleball-@.png", 8, 90);
In the above line, the @ gets replaced with the imagenumbers, 8 means there are 8 images, 90 means the animation-interval is 90 ms.
You can check out a working example here! This could be optimized to use sprites instead, but it's a start.

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
The Myelin Repair Foundation (MRF) and Gencia said they will collaborate to assess the myelin regenerating capabilities of the company's therapeutic compounds for multiple sclerosis (MS), with the goal of advancing myelin repair therapeutic development for MS.
Gencia is a developer of biologic and small molecule drugs for central nervous system diseases, as well as for inflammation and rare genetic disorders. The MRF said its collaboration with Gencia will apply the foundation's Accelerated Research Collaboration (ARC) model, which as GEN reported last year is designed to bring new medicines to patients 50–70% faster than current drug development by bridging the logistical, cultural, and financial distance between academic labs and licensing by commercial drug developers.
Gencia researchers will work with investigators at the MRF's Translational Medicine Center, a laboratory launched in 2011 to investigate and advance promising myelin repair drug targets toward commercialization.
The center is a component of the MRF's Translational Medicine Platform, along with contract research organizations and the the MRF's research consortium. The platform aims to ensure comprehensive validation of potential therapeutics into clinical development.
The Gencia collaboration, announced yesterday, is among several foundation partnerships with biotech or pharma companies.
Last month the MRF awarded a nonexclusive sublicense to Biogen Idec for use of foundation technologies in developing a new DTA mouse model for evaluating promising treatments for myelin repair. Under the DTA model, demyelination is the result of the specific loss of the principal target cells in MS, thus facilitating identification of potential treatments to restore myelin production by these target cells. The DTA model displays characteristics reminiscent of the progressive form of MS, not yet available in other mouse models.

No More Aereo? There Are Lots of Other Cord-Cutting Solutions
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The U.S. Supreme Court decision may have killed Aereo's idea of having someone else record and playback your over-the-air television shows. But all is not lost for those seeking to pay for only what they watch.
You still have the ability to do so yourself without involving a third-party service. Think in terms of home recording devices like those made by TiVO
With monthly fees for home cable and satellite rising between 5 and 6 percent each year the idea of "cutting the cord" has recently been catching on - especially with young adults who choose to watch television programs on their computers, tablets and smartphones. Monthly cable costs can easily near $90-$100 or more depending on programming choices and packages.
That's why online services such as Netflix
The act of recording over-the-air TV shows and watching them whenever you like has been legal for the past 30 years. According to the 1984 decision in Sony Corp. of America v. Universal City Studios, Inc., ( 464 U.S. 417 ) consumers are allowed to make individual copies of complete TV shows for the purpose of "time shift" viewing purposes which doesn't infringe on copyright laws.
Gartner V.P. Andrew Frank says yesterday's Aero decision could have an important side effect on the OTA recording industry. Frank told me people might begin buying their own antennas and recorders to free recordings of their own. He said it's only a "matter of time" before home DVR devices come down in price and become even more attractive to potential cord cutters.
TiVO is currently the home recording solution leader. It offers a number of add-on boxes which allow you to record and time-shift over-the-air programming from TV, cable and Internet sources and adds the ability to stream those shows to your smart TVs, computers, tablets and smartphones.
TiVO's current Roamio boxes cost $200 and up depending on how many shows you can record at the same time and how much storage is inside. TiVO is a subscription service. It also charges $15 each month and asks you to agree to a minimum one-year contract (subject to early termination fees). TiVO offers additional devices (with additional monthly fees) to extend the service into other areas of your home.
In addition to TiVO there are other companies offering home recording solutions. One company is Phoenix, Arizona-based Channel Master has just announced a discount for current Aereo subscribers who will be looking for another method to get their OTA TV fix. The company has been making television antennas for more than 60 years.

HICKORY CORNERS, MI — Virtually every Mopar enthusiast has "their car" — a personal favorite model year they may have owned, currently own or adore from afar.
They can spot it's silhouette a mile away, they recite the specifications like prayer and they can detect restored or original parts in an instant.
"If you follow the psychology of a car nut, everybody has their car from their era," Grand Rapids resident Richard Kelley said as he sat behind his dream car, a red 1974 Dodge Challenger.
"So everybody, depending on their age group and probably where they were at between the ages of 12 and 18, has that period of car that they love. And within that period a particular make or model that they really love."
Kelley and hundreds of fellow Mopar fans cruised through the 26th annual Mopars at the Red Barns car show Saturday to show off beloved classic cars, buy or sell parts and appreciate the fondness other owners have for their revered models.
Since 1990, the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners has been home to the show, which is organized by Western Michigan Mopar Club.
Jack Beertema, the club's president and founder, said the show immediately outgrew its first home in Delton, and has continued to expand in scope and size ever since. Saturday's event featured 330 cars made by Chrysler, Plymouth or Dodge, 11 vehicles short of the show's record, Beertema said.
"(When) everyone thinks of cars, they think of Cameros and Mustangs," Beertema said. "I think maybe that's what brings a lot of us Mopar people together is we're different so to speak. We were always the third of the Big Three as far as production numbers and all that stuff. Some people think they're ugly – some of them, I guess, you could say maybe are — but to us they're all beautiful."
In more than two decades the show has become one of the most popular in the region. Beertema said many attendees and participants deem it a can't-miss destination in the summer, with some even planning their vacation around the one-day event in southwest Michigan.
There were first, second and third place prizes for cars in 28 different categories, Beertema said, as well as other awards for the best car from the 1964 production year, one for the Mopar club with the most participants and one for the owner that came the furthest distance. A few years ago, the latter award was taken home by a man who drove his Dodge Challenger from California, he said.
"As far as a Chrysler event, this is rapidly becoming not the best kept secret in the Midwest," Kelley said. "For the longest time it was not as big as it is, but it's gotten bigger every year and it's just as enjoyable."
The show's reputation inspired Robert and Marcia Boomstra to make the trip from Hudsonville, Michigan with their 1983 Chrysler New Yorker Fifth Avenue – which they believed to be the only one of its kind at the show.
Robert Boomstra, a longtime classic car fan, was looking to sell the car as he's getting too old to get underneath them anymore so he figured Saturday's show was a prime opportunity to meet up with potential buyers.
In his first time at the event, Boomstra was taken back by the range of vehicles on display.
"There's such a variety here — there's everything here," he said.
While everyone undoubtedly has their preferred model, Beertema said, the club encourages an environment where anyone from the Mopar community, owner or not, can come together and enjoy the cars they love.
"You don't have to have a (Plymouth) Hemi Barracuda or a (Plymouth) Road Runner," he said. "Any kind of Chrysler product that was built by or for the Chrylser Corporation that's your favorite car, you are more than welcome to bring it here."

This is an important week in Iraq. U.S. forces will redeploy to bases outside of Iraqi cities on Tuesday. That means Iraqi forces will be in charge of security. But recent attacks have some questioning if this is the right time for such a move.
At least 80 people were killed in a recent truck bombing in a Baghdad market. The attack was just the latest in a strong of terror operations that has seen close to 200 Iraqis killed in June alone. They have called to mind a much bloodier era in Iraqi history--before the 2007 U.S. troop surge. Back then, al Qaeda and Shiite militias wreaked havoc across the country.
Things are different now. Violence is at an all-time low and life has returned to normal in many Iraqi neighborhoods.
Still, as the U.S. military prepares to hand security over to Iraqi forces, the question lingers: are they ready?
U.S. officials say yes.
"Despite the fact that you've seen sporadic high-profile attacks still taking place in Iraq, the overall security climate is a good one and -- and we remain at all-time low," said Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell.
U.S. military officials say an upswing in attacks was anticipated in the run-up to Tuesday's handoff. They're confident Iraqis won't let al-Qaeda and other terror groups reestablish a foothold.
"When you talk to the average Iraqi, they're tired of al Qaeda at this point," said U.S. Army Lt. Col Samuel Hayes. "And they're ready to move forward."
The U.S. can move forces back into cities for security reasons if called upon by the Iiraqi government. But the plan right now is to continue to train Iraqi forces prior to a complete U.S. withdrawal in 2011.

text: I'm growing rather fond of actress Lindsay Lohan and her collection of mug shots. We're up to six to date, which means you can put her photo onto another mugshot mug to create a perfect set. This is an ideal gift for loved ones or fans of La Lohan, or you could make some for your workmates and play great games whilst you're enjoying you cuppa; ones such as 'guess the year', 'guess the misdemeanour' or 'guess how much Botox she's just had' spring to mind. Some of them look very similar so you will have to use all your celebrity spotting talents to win a game. She's obviously got the mugshot pose off to a fine art, which is so very obliging of the poor girl, it will surely help tea breaks along nicely. Although for her sake, I sort of hope it's the last!

UNC Wilmington 7, College of Charleston 2
WILMINGTON, N.C. — UNC Wilmington snapped College of Charleston's three-game win streak with a 7-2 non-conference victory on Tuesday night.
The Seahawks (21-8) had nine hits and drew eight walks against the Cougars (16-12), who next host UNC Greensboro on Friday.
Ryan West (2-1) suffered his first loss in his first start of the season, going 41/3 innings and allowing two earned runs on three hits.
Drew Farber led UNC Wilmington with two RBIs on two hits, scoring two runs. Hunter Ridge hit a two-run double in the seventh inning to put help put the game away. The Seahawks scored three times in the inning on four walks and two hits.
Ben Boykin went 2 for 3 for the Cougars, driving in one. Gunnar Heidt also had an RBI, his team-leading 27th of the season, while Alex Pastorius scored a run.
The Cougars stranded 11 runners, including six in scoring position.
UNC Wilmington broke the scoreless tie in the fourth inning when Luke Dunlap was hit by a pitch and Corey Dick walked. Another walk from Tyler Molinaro loaded the bases and Farber drove in two runs with a single up the middle to give UNCW a 2-0 lead.
College of Charleston threatened in the top of the sixth with a one-out double from Brandon Murray and single from Boykin. However, College of Charleston couldn't find another hit and eventually left the bases loaded.
The Seahawks scored again in the bottom of the sixth inning with hits from Farber, Connelly and an RBI double from Dillon Bass to make the score 3-0. After a groundout and a walk, Dunlap dropped in an infield single to score another run and push the Seahawks' lead to four.
Freshmen Morgan Phillips and Alex Pastorius led off the seventh inning with singles to left field. Gunnar Heidt singled home a run. Boykin then hit a two-out single off the leg of pitcher Justin Livengood that scored Pastorius from second base to cut it to a 4-2 game and give the Cougars momentum.
UNCW jumped right back on the Cougars' bullpen in the bottom of the seventh inning, extending the lead to 7-2 and securing the victory.

The Tampa Bay Rays are on a historic run. Pennant races are heating up. Baseball is humming at the peak of summer.
But as the Major League season ramps up, accusations emerging from a Miami clinic are threatening to overwhelm other story lines.
Milwaukee Brewers All-Star Ryan Braun was suspended this month in connection with an MLB investigation into performance-enhancing drugs from the clinic. More suspensions seem inevitable with up to 15 players, including New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez, allegedly tied to the Miami facility.
Baseball is mythologized as a simple game reflecting America's core values, but the fact is the game has been roiled by scandals dating at least to 1919. Now the bogeyman is performance-enhancing drugs. It's a public relations nightmare for league officials and another betrayal for diehard fans.
"It makes me sick, not for myself so much, but for the kids who need heroes," said 84-year-old baseball fan Charles Gallic of St. Petersburg. "You know, there's no heroes in the world today."
The "steroid era'' of baseball has tainted the public perception of the sport, said Travis Phelps, 36, a baseball coach at St. Petersburg High School.
"Its reputation now is that of cheaters, and by no means is it everybody, but a few people have really tarnished the game for everyone," said Phelps, a former professional pitcher who played with Braun in 2006.
Players who cheat could hurt fellow athletes struggling to make the majors legitimately, said Ty Griffin, a baseball coach at Tampa Catholic High School and former Olympic player.
"What about those guys playing Ryan Braun's position in the minor leagues and haven't had a chance (to get promoted) because he has been putting up numbers?" Griffin asked.
The saga has dragged on for years, often with stars refusing to admit their ties to performance-enhancing drugs, even in the face of ample evidence.
"They deny and they ruin other people's lives and then you find they're guilty all along," said Stuart Mellish, 55, a fan from St. Petersburg. "That's a betrayal of trust."
Rays starting pitcher David Price said the Braun suspension is a "step in the right direction," and he wants to see a level playing field.
"Obviously we all hope that nobody's cheating, but those who are cheating — I don't think there's a single guy in here who wouldn't want to see them get caught," said Rays outfielder Sam Fuld. "It's one player, but you do feel like you are being cheated.''
The Rays have largely avoided the imbroglio, and Mellish, a former season ticket holder, said he does not believe any players on the team are using performance-enhancing drugs.
"No one's hitting 40 or 50 home runs for the Rays," he said.
The outcry against Braun might be good for the sport, he said.
"Maybe we've hit, as a society including the players, we've hit sort of a critical point where we're just tired of it," Mellish said.
At the least, says Osceola High School baseball coach Stefan Futch, this is a warning to young athletes.
"You've got to keep your nose clean," said Futch, 42. "You've got to work hard. You've got to do things the right way."
Gallic, the octogenarian baseball fan, said it's that old-school ethic and style of play that attracts him to the Rays.
He said the team employs a traditional approach to the grand old game, valuing skill over power.
But America's pastime has lost its innocence, he said, and no one is entirely free from the gloom that drugs have injected.
"It's all dollars and cents, the whole thing is," Gallic said. "It's poisoned the whole sport. It's poisoned every sport."

A government report claims that the way Americans farm could be putting the public at risk for cancer and recommends people eat more organic products.
The study was issued today by the President's Cancer Panel and is a look at the potential risks from the environment. The cancer panel has two members – the third seat is vacant – and both were appointees of President George W. Bush.
The study includes a chapter on agriculture and goes into a number of potential health hazards, including from pesticides such as the herbicide atrazine that's used on corn fields but also from nitrogen fertilizers and veterinary pharmaceuticals. Fertilizer may increase cancer risk through the breakdown of the nitrogen during digestion, the study said. Nitrogen from fields seeps below ground and into drinking water supplies.
Pesticide makers are used to defending their products. The Environmental Protection Agency is currently taking another look at the possible health risks of atrazine, a product of Syngenta, (The EPA had previously concluded that atrazine was safe.)
But The Fertilizer Institute, the trade group that represents fertilizer manufacturers, expressed surprised at the report.
"We are unaware of any scientific information that warrants fertilizers' mention in this report, when in fact the nutrients found in fertilizers are required by all living organisms," the group said.
The group said that there is evidence that exposure to nitrates actually enhances the nutritional quality of fruits and vegetables. The report says that the antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables may protect a person from getting cancer from the nitrates.
The study recommends consumers buy food grown without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers and to wash conventionally grown produce to remove residues. The panel also recommends eating "free-range" meat produced without antibiotics and growth hormones. (Even organic food is produced with the use of pesticides, though they are not the synthetic versions cited in the study.)
Reaction to the report from cancer organizations was mixed, according to USA Today. The American Cancer Society said the report was unbalanced, but the president of the Breast Cancer Fund, an environmental advocacy group, called the report was "a watershed that could transform federal policy not just on cancer, but on chemicals."
