JERUSALEM, Israel -- Police closed the Temple Mount to visitors Wednesday morning following more Arab riots that injured two officers.
There's a heightened security presence in the Old City due to the Passover holiday and the upcoming Priestly Blessing, when thousands of Israelis from around the country will visit Jerusalem and the Western Wall.
Police used riot control gear against Muslim youth throwing rocks and fire bombs at police. Arabs also wounded another officer in a rock-throwing incident in one of the Old City's narrow streets.
The Palestinian Authority's official Ma'an news agency reported that "dozens of worshippers" were hurt in "fierce clashes with Israeli forces storming the al-Aksa Mosque compound."
Palestinians and the Arab world refer to the Temple Mount, where two consecutive Jewish Temples once stood until the second was destroy by the Romans in 70 AD., as the al-Aksa compound after the mosque on the site.

Seva Opportunities for ISKCON Prison Ministries
Posted August 3, 2008
Database development - Currently we have a database that is not very functional. We need someone with more db management experience to create a db to keep track of inmates, books shipped, donations, etc. The db should be able to print invoices for shipments and labels which will require knowledge of VBA. If possible, it would be nice to bring the db online using ASP.
Administrator of correspondence courses - Prior to Mukta Kesa Prabhu's departure in 2007, he was administering many correspondence courses to inmates including Bhagavad-gita (several different levels), Coming Back, Science of Self-Realization, etc. IPM has not been able to continue this necessary service since Mukta Kesa's departure. This service can be done comfortably from your home and is a great opportunity to dive deeper into Srila Prabhupada's books and allow others to do the same.
Book donations - We need cases of hardbound Bhagavad-gitas and a case of Coming Back.
Administrative Services - We are on a quest to send letters to every prison librarian and chaplain in the Unites States offering them a set of Srila Prabhupada's books. We have mailed about 10 states so far with a nice response. We are in need of a devotee, or devotees, to extract addresses of prisons from websites and put them into a spreadsheet. From this spreadsheet we can do the mail merge to send letters to the prison.
If anyone is interested in these services please feel free to contact bhakta Jerry at 773 808-1438 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

The EU Conference on "Renaturing Cities: Systemic Urban Governance for Social Cohesion", under the auspices of the Italian Presidency of the Council of the EU aims to to inspire Research and Innovation policies on sustainable urban development by bringing together scientists, policy makers, the business sector and representatives of the civil society.
The conference will focus on multilevel governance for urban and peri-urban areas and highlight the relation between supranational, national and sub-national scales, as well as the interplay of actors within these scales. Therefore, new instruments of urban governance based on a strong public-private partnership will be explored in order to facilitate the interplay between policy-making, market-driven actions and grassroots initiatives.

This workshop aims to identify workable solutions to the major hurdles hampering the development of the bio-based plastics sector in the EU. We are especially interested in PLA and PHA as we consider these bio-based plastics as having the highest potential for deployment in the EU. Input from market, policy and technological experts within the area of bioplastics is crucial to allow us to develop recommendations which best answer the needs of industry.
Today, bio-based plastics have an established market, demonstrating rapid growth both in Europe and globally. While Europe is currently the largest producer and user of bio-based plastics, this situation is expected to change in the future with production increasingly being based in countries where feedstocks are cheaper and where production costs are lower. Even with increasing fossil fuel prices expected to make bio-based plastics more competitive compared to fossil-derived plastics, ensuring the cost-competitiveness of EU bio-based plastics production compared to other regions globally is expected to become an increasingly difficult challenge.

The DXCM SEC filings discuss things permissable for Piper Jaffray to do to as it pertains to the secondary offering. I believe that the big trades on Friday may actually be short trades, which if true, may not bode well for longs. In any event, sure looks like quite a bit of distribution has been occuring in the past 3 trading sessions.
After reading page 3 (risk factors)of the prospectus I'm convinced that something large is cooking with Dexcom. Otherwise this stock would be trading at less than 2.00 a share! Thoughts?
Come on shorty, you can do better than that.
Stan, sorry to tell you, but just because I make an observation it doesn't mean I am short. I truly do believe that the large volume on Friday was connected to the secondary offering and Piper Jaffray. At first I thought these trades were large accumulation, until I read the prospectus. Good luck!

NBA Jam PS3/360 Review
HD graphics and online play make eveything better...don't they?
The series was long overdue for a reboot, having ceded some of its arcade-hoops cachet to games like NBA Street and NBA Ballers. So long-time fans like me naturally rejoiced at the announcement that NBA Jam was finally making its return -- then we immediately scratched our heads at the news that it was a Wii exclusive with motion controls and no online component.
Savvy readers will no doubt have already noted that Ray Barnholt gave that Wii version of NBA Jam an A- when it released a month or so ago. So, why the score discrepancy? Well, while I agree with Ray's assessment of the game -- the Wii version looks and plays great -- I'm a little less forgiving of the absence of online multiplayer, and a little less impressed with the additional modes designed to round out the package. I'd likely have scored the Wii NBA Jam a B- or B.
A few months after that initial release (and following a tragically circuitous chain of events) NBA Jam has finally arrived as a full retail title on Xbox 360 and PS3, complete with HD graphics and online multiplayer.
If you're familiar with the Wii version of the game, you'll know exactly what you're getting here -- it's pretty much a straight port of every feature and mode. That means you'll get to take part in the Classic Campaign, a recreation of the traditional two-on-two arcade experience where you battle through a ladder of increasingly challenging NBA teams. This is NBA Jam as you remember it. EA has done a terrific job in recreating the all-important feel of the original (including the trademark dastardly rubberband A.I. that will repeatedly rob you of wins without compunction) while giving it a clever, contemporary look. The South Park-cum-SportsCenter art style really works for the game -- especially in HD -- and you'll no doubt find yourself giggling at a number of the exaggerated facial expressions the players make as they soar in for a monster dunk.
There are a couple minor, and somewhat curious, deviations from the gameplay of the arcade original: it's much more difficult to shove a player out of a shot or dunk, the recovery time after a shove attempt is a touch longer, and being "on fire" seems to mean a little less, as it's entirely possible to miss wide-open shots when you're in that state this time around. These differences aren't necessarily detrimental, they just take a little getting used to if you're a veteran of the series.

This game's a classic....Posted: May 06, 2011 12:00AM PST by Pordiogamer
.....but the tag price seemed a bit steep. I just got the iphone version and it's way too much fun, brings back some nice memories. After playing that version non stop for the past two days, I'm sold and I'll be picking the 360 version today....! I am not really into sports (any sport) but it's NBA JAM, baby!!!
Obvious rip-off..Posted: Nov 21, 2010 12:00AM PST by Sablicious
But... well... faute de mieux, so I'll get it.
real NBA jam fans?Posted: Nov 21, 2010 12:00AM PST by Randalljo
Look, I just bought the PS3 version and we have been we have been playing 1 on 1, 2 on 2 matches everyday since we opened that box. The funny thing is I had the game for about 3 days before I even opened the box. Why? Because after reading bad review after even worse reviews, I thought do I really want to pay $50 for a game from 1997? I thought I'm taking this back. Well, I opened it up on a boring day and BOOM-SHAKA-LAKA!
First of all how many games have you bought for 50 or 60 bucks that turn out to be coasters in less than a month? Second, if you really liked this game back in the day, why the heck would it be bad now? This isn't pong, it's arcade basketball. If you like crazy dunks, getting hot, big head people with funny expersions then you're going to LOVE this game. If you remember it being really fun, then you're going to still love it. It's exactly the same as you remember it. Bad graphics on PS3, that's a load of cr.... This game is awesome. We play it more than NBA2k11 and that says alot. Now I have little kids in my house so granted its a game that everyone can play. But the truth is a 11 year old can master this game like a 40 year old and theres nothing wrong with that. I give it an A+. Don't believe the haters. This game is a classic PERIOD.
Another bad review from the new KINGS of shit on the InternetPosted: Nov 21, 2010 12:00AM PST by Pikachupoo
This version is so much better than the busted Wii piece of shit version.
ActuallyPosted: Nov 21, 2010 12:00AM PST by Masta_C
I have both and the XBox 360 version is damn near unplayable compared to the Wii. Talk about realeasing a broken game. And my Buddy has the PS3 version and the graphics are 10 grades below the Wii version. I'd rate the XBox 360 version a C- and the PS3 a F- with the Wii achieving an A+
Agh those character models arePosted: Nov 21, 2010 12:00AM PST by JOYFUL_NOISE
so ugly!
maybe...Posted: Nov 20, 2010 12:00AM PST by At0mic_Iguana
I'll be able to hold out until i can get it used!
Sounds likePosted: Nov 20, 2010 12:00AM PST by mtasmam2k
The Wii version of the game scored an A- because the game is obviously fun to play. As an owner of the Wii version, I totally agree. With the included online play on the PS3/360 versions somewhat flawed (player dropouts) I can see how those versions would drop a few points. And here I thought that I would be missing something buying the Wii version. Philips is right though, having up to 4 players locally is the sweet spot in multiplayer. When it's all said and done, you can't go wrong no matter what console is your flavor.
Rubberband AIPosted: Nov 20, 2010 12:00AM PST by wiseman4380
I hate that bs. I was hopin they got rid of it
I have the Wii versionPosted: Nov 20, 2010 12:00AM PST by cubanref
And it's one of the funnest games with friends I've played in a long time. There's a lot of very intense moments, especially towards the end of close games. The online play makes me wish I waited for the Xbox version, though.
no regretsPosted: Nov 19, 2010 12:00AM PST by joneskoff
i paid $50. no $20 DL game would have had this much content in it, except maybe Wipeout. My only complaint is that the AI in Remix mode is the cheapest i think ive ever encountered in gaming. not a fun challenge, just infuriating. ruins some really good game mode ideas. the reg mode is still fun as hell
PassPosted: Nov 19, 2010 12:00AM PST by Gameboyish
Nice job on the review, Mik! I'll be sure not to pick up this one.
Good Game... Bad PricePosted: Nov 19, 2010 12:00AM PST by ohJTBehaaave
Everyone wants to play this NBA JAM... but not at the $50 asking price. Should be $20. EA is trippin.
Great Review!!!!Posted: Nov 19, 2010 12:00AM PST by PowerofGreyskull
It does sound a lot like a rent/bargin bin title though.

Africa: Fresh Scramble for Riches
Addressing a public discussion entitled Namibia and the New Scramble for Africa's Resources last week, Melber said small local elites, "who exploit their political control over national wealth for their own gains", are collaborating "with those operating from outside offering them the most convenient - and unashamed - access to the small slice of the cake they are able to keep for themselves in such sell-out deals".
He said developed nations are desirous to explore and exploit Africa's oil, uranium oxide, diamonds, gold and other precious and strategic minerals and metals - often needed in high-tech and nanotechnology manufacturing processes in the industrialized world - as well as timber and rich fishing stocks along the coastline of the continent.

China isn't the heartland of Islam, but it is the only country in the world to have a long history of female imams.
A small group of women in central China's Henan province have been imams in their community for centuries.
This part of China is home to less than four per cent of China's roughly 23 million Muslims.
The believers are from an ethnic minority known as the Hui.
A group of Muslim grandmothers wander into a mosque behind an ancient city wall shortly before noon prayers on a Friday.
A crowd of 50 soon fill the prayer room.
Ge Caixia is their religious leader, a female imam in the mosque that's dedicated only to women.
She takes her place among them along the first row when it's time to pray.
If Ge Caixia were a male imam, the rest of the congregation would be standing behind her.
"When we have to conduct prayers at funerals, it's the man who leads," she said. "The woman can only participate."
These differences set her aside from her male peers.
Ge Caixia's standing in the community remains significant. There aren't many people like her in China, let alone the world.
Henan province has about 100 female imams. No other place in the country has such a high proportion.
Teaching Islam Ge Caixia's calling
Ge Caixia says she found it difficult to say no to her heart when the time came to make a decision between the secular world and the chance to spread the teachings of Islam.
She had a chance to take over her father's position inside a state-owned enterprise which in the days of the Chinese planned economy, meant a job for life.
She let her cousin have the opportunity instead.
Ge Caixia says most people have treated her with respect even though she has met some disapproving looks along the way.
"I met a male imam when I was in the northwest of China," she recalled.
"He said that women should stay at home, let their husbands teach them and told me their way of doing things is better.
"I guess it's their practice but it's not the Islamic way."
However, this centuries-old practice wasn't born out of a feeling by women to make a statement.
"It all started because Muslim women wanted to learn basic religious studies," researcher Shui Jingjun, who is also Hui Muslim, said.
"That's why they started female-only classes. Female imams began during the mid-Qing dynasty around the 18th century."
The practice has spread to other parts of the country, while places like Xinjiang remain male-dominated Muslim communities.
Big shoes to fill
Finding someone to replace Ge Caixia won't be easy because there aren't that many people willing to assume the heavy responsibility.
The four students that Ge Caixia last trained have all left to pursue other opportunities.
One of them is married to a male imam and looks after affairs concerning the Muslim women in their mosque. It's a common arrangement in China.
"It's not realistic to expect the young to give up their career to become a female imam," Ge Caixia said.
"Being a female imam requires special expertise, you must have a very deep and thorough knowledge of the religion and have the confidence and responsibility to fulfil this calling."
The next person to lead her congregation will have to be carefully chosen.
She can't be too young otherwise it will be difficult to command the respect of her ageing congregation – something that has happened at a female-only mosque in Shanghai.
But Ge Caixia isn't fazed by the challenges that lie ahead.
She and others believe the tradition will continue, making sure the story of the female imams of Henan lives on.

..."Meh, as long as you eat enough when you do eat"
So here's the story. I put on 30 pounds in the past 2 years due to one extremely stressful year in Hell, Canada -- plus half a year in an emotionally stressful situation which I am still in. I never weighed myself in the past 3 years and the weight creeped on. I figured I was about 15 pounds heavier, but noooo.
Anyway, I got myself a nice job where I am on my feet for 6-8 hours a day. I am also going to the gym 4 times a week for about 45 minutes each time, early in the morning. Third, I am eating Warrior Diet style, one big meal at the end of the day and nothing but water otherwise. I have been doing this for a week.
The eating thing is comfortable. I am eagerly hungry after work but not ravenous. My concern is waiting 8 - 10 hours after my workout to eat anything. Thoughts? I guess I'll tally up the "YOUR BODY IS EATING ITSELF BRO" and the "Meh, as long as you eat enough when you do eat" responses and see who wins.
You lousy kids! Get off my savannah!
..."Meh, as long as you eat enough when you do eat"
Steak, eggs, potatoes - fruits, nuts, berries and forage. Coconut milk and potent herbs and spices. Tea instead of coffee now and teeny amounts of kelp daily. Let's see how this does! Not really had dairy much, and gut seems better for it.
Well...for one what are you doing at the gym?
For twos..... are you eating cleaner paleo/primal now?
Due to a knee injury I can't do regular deadlifts or squats right now. I split the workouts into back, chest, shoulders, and arms & legs, with about 3 exercises each day, 5x5 for most, 15 minute warmup on the elliptical. So I don't get super crazy.
Also, yes, I have cut out added sugar which was the main culprit, except for a teaspoon of honey to my kale shakes every other day. I have brown rice a couple times a week and other starches but eat no wheat or wheat alternatives. I don't even have cheat days.

Death Valley National Park in Monochrome
On my first post of Death Valley National Park, the pictures were taken from a cellphone and I edited them using a cellphone app Snapseed. This time, the images are from my DLSR. This is Death Valley National Park, one of the top locations I've ever visited. I want to present it the right way with what I got.
It was a constant battle whether I should present the pictures in a color or monochrome palette. I didn't want to present it in B&W in the first place. Many have been successful with turning their DVNP pictures into B&W. I'm intimidated. I don't know how they do it!?. Mine pales in comparison. With the images I got, the transition isn't quite right in my humble opinion. When I posted The City of San Francisco in Monochrome I can proudly say that it's the kind of setting that's just the right fit for B&W, but it still honestly eats me that the original (with colors) were not presented. It is hard to present pictures initially in monochrome leaving behind the originals in mystery. Bottom line is that another post of a location I already previously presented… I really wanted it to be different. I decided to compromise…. So …

The song, however, is not from Heartbreaker, just a personal choice to introduce to you Ryan Adams… Here is Desire …
This post is part of my monthly California post.
The problem with showing original images together with the ones that are turned into B&W, revealing the true colors spoils the effect B&W pictures had…
And then it dawned on me, whatever the dilemma is, however mediocre I present it …. This is Death Valley National Park. I can't go wrong with Death Valley National Park. The images will speak for itself.
Unique California 2.0
Here are some of the most unusual, unique, weird, odd, out-of-this-world, one-of-a-kind, outlandish, and fun places in California.
From an out-of-place Hindu temple, Venice Beach …
… an outrageously decorated apartment of mystical creatures, to Frank Gehry's unconventional methods of constructions and onto some of the most exotic places you'll find in California.
Let's start again with world renowned starchitect Frank Gehry.
The Gehry Residence features fences that are out-of-place, unpainted wood, aluminum stack that doesn't work, roofing materials that used as walls, oddly placed glass cubes, and other unusual designs. Gehry still lives in this house today.
If you think you can stomach this next one, you might wanna chew on it …
In Downtown of San Luis Obispo, you can find an alley filled with bubble gums.

My favorite is when late-Phillip-Seymour Hoffman yelled, "You have no right to act on your own … "😀
All lead and supporting performances were nominated at the Oscars.
Music: Vampire Weekend
The album I recommended was the self-titled album Vampire Weekend.This video, however, is from the second album called Contra.
It's a fun, fun, fun, fun video. Stick to the end, I love the bell poundings.
Part 1 includes a binocular-shaped building, a house filled with graffiti, the last place in America, a yard full of junk arts, a painted mountain, a bunny-filled house, towers made of junks, and an apartment filled with mystical creatures decorations.
My Amazing Race in California
Is everybody ready? Alright, let's get this race started. The world is waiting for you….
Hold it! A little detour.😀
The Sophomore Slump Recommends
Music: Embrya by Maxwell – Nobody makes real Neo Soul music anymore. Thank goodness we have at least Maxwell's music to go back to.
Remember this iconic MTV Unplugged performance? Here is Maxwell's rendition of "This Woman's Work" (not part of the album Embrya).
Movie: Blue Jasmine – Probably, arguably, the best female acting performance of the decade by far. Cate Blanchett is incredibly mesmerizing.
This is part of my once a month California post.
This is a redo of an older post, My Amazing Race (click here).
I used to watch The Amazing Race religiously before. The I stopped for a very very long time. I probably just returned watching it again about a year and a half ago. I started downloading seasons that I missed. I wasn't actually aware that I've already been to some of The Amazing Race's starting lines in California were.
Out of the 25 seasons of The Amazing Race, 15 of it started in California. And out of those 15, I've been to 9 of them. Not bad eh.🙂 Two I included are general areas which are Santa Barbara and Pasadena. All others are exact locations. The only one that I actually became aware of because of the show was Hsi Lai Temple.
On my mark, travel safe, Go!
Season 5: Santa Monica Pier
Season 12: The Playboy Mansion
Season 13: Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum
Season 18: San Gorgonio Pass Wind Farm, Palm Springs
Season 19: Hsi Lai Temple
Season 20: Santa Barbara
Season 21: Pasadena
Season 22: Griffith Observatory
Season 23: Melody Ranch Motion Picture Studio
The Amazing Race premieres February 25 this year.

Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Park / #323
This is like a 3D post.😉 My apology if it makes you dizzy.😀
The Sophomore Slump Recommends
Movie: Persepolis – This animated movie for adults is full of quirks amidst serious historical events. It follows the autobiography of Marjane from childhood during Islamic Revolution all the way to adulthood where she needed to find herself where to fit. It's a film that is hard to forget.
Music: Sea Change – We all know Beck who gave us psychedelic music like 90's hits "Loser" and "E-Pro". But in the beginning of 2000's, he surprised everyone when he did a complete 360 and gave us one of the most heartbreaking albums of the decade with "Sea Change".
Here is one of my most favorite album-openers, "Golden Age". Hear also, on your own, "Guess I'm Doing Fine".
My schedule was early. I still had one day before I had to meet friends in Yosemite so I decided to drive ahead. Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks are on the way anyway.
What's gotten to me when I drove all over California for 3 weeks was that traveling became a sign of success for me. This is what I love to do. So when I do it I feel more accomplished.
In life, school, work, etc, when all the glory things are in front of me I tend to ask myself, "How did I get here?". I tend to look back the way I was.
I was a scrawny little kid in the Philippines whose source of happiness came from simple things like just plain playing outside. I had no fancy toys, maybe except Lego. My shoes were my older borther's old shoes. I had to walk more than a mile to get to my school. Things like that make me look the way I am now, and feel proud of myself.
It's so cool to be in Sequoia National Park. You get to be among the giants of trees.🙂
Nobody, the people who knows and knew me, would not imagine me lasting on this job that I do now. I'm not the most serious, not the most responsible, and not even the most outspoken. I am at the tenth year of my work, and happily assigned currently in Greece.
Whatever you do, never give up. By being prudent, practical or wise, you can give up on one thing but never surrender completely. Exhaust all your options, continue however silly you look and fight to the bitter end. When someone said you can't, screw that person.🙂 Erase that. Go see and prove it yourself whether you can or cannot do something. But, I'm begging you, do not have a "never give up" mentality solely because of pride.
I know it's not a diploma. It's not a promotion. It's not an ideal woman I get to be with.😀 Traveling is a big part of my accomplishments. I feel the high. I feel lucky. I feel successful when I travel.
And when you're really really in dire situation and heavy things are weighing on you, forget about pride. Please, when you have a problem, seek other people. Don't bury yourself by solving your problem just by your own because of your pride. I just want to throw it out there. Because a lot of people do dig themselves deeper all because of pride. We all have problems. We all make mistakes. People need people.
Kings Canyon is in conjunction to Sequoia National Park. I spent exploring most of the day in the latter. Most areas in Kings Canyon are inaccessible during winter.
I have a strong desire for traveling. This one and the one 2-weeks travel around that I did 2 years ago, I Nike just do it. I made zero reservation. No concrete plans. I was budget traveling. You gotta take risks sometimes. Sometimes. And inconvenience is nothing on me. Been there, done that.
One last thing. If you think you have a problem, think that things can be worse. Tomorrow is a brighter day. If that next day tops yesterday, the next day is even brighter. Why? Because you are still there! You have hope. You got time to refocus, adjust, or change. Some times, laugh at your problems. Maybe that's a solution. You can always look back at the things you've done and accomplished. Look around you and see what you have. Then think what others don't have.
Never completely give up.

Death Valley National Park
Let me tell you now. Death Valley National Park is easily an Absolute Must Visit for me.
The Sophomore Slump Recommends
Movie: Finding Nemo – Still remains to be my most favorite animated movie of all time.
Music: Yankee Foxtrot Hotel by Wilco – This is one of my top three albums of 2000's.
And since I'm now here in Greece, this video I found uses one of the album's songs as a soundtrack to a short created by an Athens-based director. Here is "What is that?". The song, Pot Kettle Black, is one of my ultimate best album tracks of all time. I never get tired of this song.
You GOTTA watch this one….
Death Valley National Park is absolutely spectacular! There are many attractions where you can just drive by or walk and hike, and explore!
Driving around the desert is so cool too. You can see miles and miles and miles and miles of nothing. See this next picture … you can see this endless road to the dot…
Death Valley is a nature art museum. Mother Nature did an incredibly great job being an artist in this part of the Earth.
Many of you know how big of a fan I am when it comes to awesome rock formations. So Death Valley NP really delighted me right off the bat.
Mind you, I was only here for one full day and I saw so much of its breathtaking and, not to mention, interesting landscapes.
I got to walk on the lowest point of North America.
I hiked some of the trails. And even though I came here during winter to avoid extreme heat of the desert, weather here is still a kicker esp. when you hike. I have learnt to bring enough water and gear up for this occasion.😀😉
I recommend ending the day in Mesquite Sand Dunes to catch its dramatic color.
I took more pictures with my DSLR but the charger and a cord I need to upload got to my shipped boxes so I have to wait long for the shipment to arrive here in Greece. But for now, I think these cellphone pics will suffice. Til then, see you for more of one of the best California travel destinations I've been to.
Last Call…
i started pointing the cellphone camera direction to the sky. And when I turned around, next thing I saw, everyone was doing it too😀 …

There are all types of wide receivers.
Tall ones. Short ones. Fast ones. Not as fast ones. Strong ones. Not as strong ones. Receivers with great hands. Who run great routes. Who have great body control.
Most are some combination of the above.
Asked to name what kind of receiver would benefit most from the NFL-mandated emphasis on illegal contact downfield, the Eagles varied in their answers. Some said the restrictions on pass defenders would equally aid all receivers.
But if a specific sort was cited, aside from the ideal and rare of "big and fast, it was quicker receivers who aren't as physical.

Now with the move of LeBron all the clowns from Cleveland (Dan Gilbert)(cough,cough) are talking like LeBron is a useless player...I disagree completely but there is a twist at the top of the list.
Complete NBA Player Preview For 2010-2011
By Cory ,
These are older guys I am predicting to have good seasons when people might be writing them off.
Kevin Garnett-I believe KG is getting healthier and will surprise a few people with a strong regular season,and of course be great in the playoffs like he has been since he has got to Boston....watch out for KG to show you that the knee is getting better.
Tim Duncan-Like fellow Hall of Famer KG, Duncan has been written off by people.A lot of people think that he is now to old to play at his same level...I agree that he is not the same, but he is still a great player and it is still his team.(Sorry Manu, and Tony P)
Shaquille O'Neal-I Know you might think I am crazy saying Shaq will have a good year,but i think that he could be a great piece to a team like the Heat...that's only if he swallows his EGO and accepts a back-up role for a contender or a starting role for a contender like the Heat because they need a center but the Heat can't pay him what he wants...so if Shaq wants one more good year then he better swallow his EGO.
Stephen Curry-If you were watching the second half of last season, then you know how good Stephen Curry is.In my opinion(and i am not the only one) Curry was the best rookie in the second half of the year.That is why he will break-out this year and know he has David Lee and the West got worse so my early prediction is the Warriors will be a 6,7,or 8 seed in the West next season.
J.J Hickson-Although the Cavs are going to struggle without LBJ, I believe Hickson is going to get good minutes and I feel that he is going to play great with more opportunity,but this is a wild-card pick.He could be terrible next season because when you take a star off a team the guys who looked good because of the star come back to being the bad players they were before they played with that star.So wild-card but I believe he will break-out.
Michael Beasley-Everyone knows Beasley has talent,but nobody knows how hard he is going to work to become a good NBA player.I don't know how good he could be, but now that he is out of Wade's shadows, I think he could be a good scorer in Minnesota.
Joe Johnson-Everyone is talking about how Amar'e isn't worth the money he is going to get, well look at the deal the Hawks gave Joe Johnson.I will say it until I am blue in the face.JOE JOHNSON IS NOT WORTH A MAX CONTRACT!!
Mo Williams-Everyone is going to realize that the only reason Mo Williams was an All-Star was because of LBJ.I think Mo Williams is going to struggle very badly this year and people are going to see the real Mo Williams.
John Wall-After being the first pick in the draft there are high expectations for Wall.I am not saying that he isn't going to be a good pro but for this year he is going to struggle if he has to play with Arenas, also he is not going to be the Rookie of the Year because two rookies are better right now.Those guys are:
Player of the Year Evan Turner, and last years first overall pick:Blake Griffin.
11.) Dwight Howard-After that playoff series against Perkins it proved he has no post moves,all he can do is overpower his defenders, and thats why Perkins can stop him.
12.) Steve Nash-He proved in the playoffs how good he still is and he made Amar'e the 100 million dollar player he is today, and he is molding Dragic to fill in for him soon.
13.) Chris Bosh-Bosh was a star in Toronto but proved he is a number 2 option because if he was a number 1 he would have led Toronto to the playoffs.Toronto had a better supporting cast then Miami but Bosh who is a very good player was just not a good number 1.Now he is the number 3.
14.) Carlos Boozer-I believe that Boozer was overlooked in free agency because of his size. Although Amar'e got more doesn't mean he is better.Boozer is more skilled then Amar'e and if I could take one for my team I would take Boozer.
15.) Amar'e Stoudemire-Although New York gave him 100 million he isn't worth that.He is a good player but he is going to prove this year he isn't a GREAT player.
16.) Paul Pierce-After the impressive push through the playoffs Paul Pierce proved he is still a very good NBA player.
Gasol had a great NBA Finals...some people thought he should have been the MVP. I agree he played great but he is still a sidekick. Last year he was the best sidekick in the NBA, now he is the second best sidekick in the NBA. Very good player but still a number 2 not a number 1.
Some people think that Pau Gasol has passed him as the NBA's most skilled big man. I completely disagree. Dirk is a Number 1 option. Gasol already proved in Memphis he is not a Number 1 option he is a Number 2 option. Just like Bosh, Gasol is a very good player just not a Number 1 option, but Dirk is a proven Number 1 Option. Oh yeah also he is kind of CLUTCH.
Right now I have Chris Paul as the 3rd best point guard in the NBA. People might argue he is better then Rondo. I think Rondo has proven he is legit and he plays better in the playoffs, so that is why i have him better then Paul. Also Paul hasn't played in awhile. So I got Rondo ahead of Paul.
If you still don't respect Rondo then you don't know what good basketball is. Rondo has proven that he is legit, especially in the true season....The Playoffs. Also Rondo carried the Celtics to Game 7 of the NBA Finals. So that is why he is the second best point guard in the NBA. Also Rondo is the only NBA player besides Jason Kidd that can control the game if he has 0 points.
Although Denver got eliminated early it wasn't because of Melo as he averaged 30.7 points and 8.5 rebounds. But not just that he has proven that he is one of the NBA's best players. He can score with ease and he is also a good rebounder.
Everybody knows how great Rondo and Paul are but not to many guys if anybody would say Williams isn't the best point guard in the NBA. He can do it all if you need him to score he does it with ease. If you want him to get people involved he will do that with ease...and oh yeah hes a good rebounder as well. He is an all-around great basketball player.
By now who isn't sold on the 22 year old phenom, who lead the NBA in scoring this year. And him and Russel Westbrook lead the Thunder to 50 wins. Durant is also a first team all NBA player.
I know you might be thinking that this is just an angry Cleveland fan. Well your wrong because i think that Cleveland is a pathetic sports city and i think LeBron made the right decision to get away from that pathetic owner and city. But LeBron is now a sidekick to a better player. I have felt Wade was always better but didn't get the credit until now when LeBron who is an GREAT NBA player, but he is not as good as Wade.
Some people might argue that LeBron is better i completely disagree. Yes LeBron deserved the MVP this year but the year before Wade was the best player in the league. Also in the Olympics Wade was the best player on the team. And if it wasn't for Kobe's 5 rings and him being more clutch i would put Wade ahead of him, but out of respect for Kobe I will give him the number 1 spot. Oh yeah by the way the Heat is still Wades Team and Bosh and LBJ are his sidekicks.
What else can you say about Kobe? Right now he is the best player in the game and he proved it by getting his fifth ring. And although he struggled in game 7, he came through when it mattered most in the last 6 minutes of Game 7. And although I think Wade is on the verge of surpassing Kobe, that hasn't happened and knowing Kobe I doubt that will happen anytime soon.
Everybody write if you disagree with anything or if you agree or write something for good sports talk if you want.
Please write what you thought and i will get back to you.

For many athletes, a coaching change is an opportunity.
It's a clean slate, a chance to impress a new staff with - ostensibly - no preconceptions about them as players. Temporarily, at least, it levels the playing field.
That's why Brandon Bourbon won't deny being a little frustrated by his situation following the hiring of Charlie Weis at the University of Kansas in late 2011.
The native of Potosi, Mo. showed flashes of brilliance last season as a freshman, as part of a talented stable of running backs - a bright spot in what was otherwise an extremely disappointing year. The highlight came Oct. 1 in Lawrence, Kan. during a tilt with the Texas Tech Red Raiders.
Kansas uncharacteristically raced out to a big lead, and the bruising tailback played a big role. Shaking loose from a defender near the home sideline during the first quarter, he turned on the jets that allowed him to run a 10.4-second 100-meter dash in high school and sprinted 51 yards to paydirt. He would finish the game with 101 yards on 10 carries.
Bourbon missed most of the spring of 2010 with an injury, and the performance felt like a true coming out party - his first chance to prove to the coaches, his teammates, the fans and himself of just how much he is capable when given the chance.
Viewed through the lens of hindsight, it could be argued the Texas Tech game was the moment the season officially derailed for the Jayhawks. They surrendered that big lead and, in the second half, surrendered the game. And for Bourbon it represented the apex of his freshman year - a campaign which ended a month later when he suffered a leg injury versus Iowa State.
It was that same injury for which he was on the road to recovery when Weis was hired, and limited him during spring football once again. So while he was optimistic and energized by the change, he was also frustrated by not being able to make the most of the opportunity.
"I did get that feeling (of excitement) but at the same time it was kind of tough since I was injured and held out of a lot of stuff," Bourbon said. "So at the same time I'm kind of not doing everything and you want to just get in and impress the coaches and show them what you can do, and I had to sit around and wait for a little while."
Fortunately, he's making up for lost time now. Despite the loss of Darrian Miller, the depth of talent in the Kansas backfield remains the same, thanks to the addition of stud JUCO running back Taylor Cox. Bourbon, Cox, super-speedster Tony Pierson and junior James Sims - whom Weis called the most complete back on the team - comprise what should be a formidable unit for the season ahead.
Each back brings a little something different to the table. Pierson is undersized but has limitless afterburners. Sims, slimmed down to 195 pounds, is quicker and faster than ever before, with his excellent patience and vision (though he is suspended for the first three games of the season). At 5-foot-11, 210 pounds, Cox appears to posses many of those same skills but has the body type of a power back.
Bourbon, however, may be the most unique of all. At almost 6-foot-2 and 218 pounds, he's easily the biggest of the tailbacks most likely to make an impact this season, having added 10 pounds under the guidance of strength coach Scott Holsopple during the summer. But next to Pierson, he's also likely the fastest back on the team.
It's a potent combination. And both Weis and running backs coach Reggie Mitchell said Bourbon is showing no ill effects from the injury that ended his 2011 and hampered him throughout the spring.
Mitchell acknowledged he possessed a rare blend of speed and power.
"He's a big guy, he's fast," Mitchell said. "The thing that he has to do is be more consistent. I think for him the more reps he gets the better he'll get. The hard thing is we've got a bunch of guys who need reps, so he's got to make an impact on the five or six carries he may get in practice."
Rather than be intimidated by the intense competition, Bourbon said the running backs have embraced it.
"It's a classic case of competition bringing out the best in everyone," he noted. "Because Taylor, he came in and started picking up things very quickly, I was impressed with that. He's been doing a really good job, he's a good player. Tony and James - James is going to be sitting out but he's still doing great things in practice when he gets a chance, and Marquis as well."
But it's fair to say Bourbon has more reason for motivation than his brethren. A new coaching staff, the euphoric feeling of being injury-free for the first time in a long time, and the ever-present excitement associated with a new season have combined to bring his anticipation to a fever pitch.
"I'm twice as hungry as I probably should be," he said. "One, because it's the first game of the season and I've been sitting out not playing football since November of last year, and secondly we have a new coaching staff so I have to go out and prove myself early - especially with James being down. That's my opportunity."

The unanimous ruling covers pay for "piecework"—that is, when you're paid by the task, like picking a pound of fruit, instead of by the hour. Farmworkers Subject Of Concern After Roundup Cancer-Risk Report By Courtney Flatt • Mar 27, 2015 Binsar Bakkara / Associated Press An international report on the health risks of a commonly used herbicide is raising special concerns about farmworkers and cancer.

The key to a perfect lawn isn't spending a bundle on lawn-care products. It's choosing the right grass and caring for it properly, horticulturist Tom Ogren said.
Ogren teaches homeowners how to do that in "What the 'Experts' May Not Tell You About
. . . Growing the Perfect Lawn." The book covers the basics of lawn care, including mowing, fertilizing, killing weeds, getting rid of pests without harming other creatures, and even buying a good used mower.
For those who'd rather not bother, there's information on ground covers and tips for hiring a gardener.
Ogren also addresses ways to reduce allergens in the yard - not surprising, since he's also the author of "Allergy-Free Gardening."
"What the 'Experts' May Not Tell You About . . . Growing the Perfect Lawn" is published by Warner Books and is priced at $12.95 in paperback.

Yeah there's a family picture somewhere on a desk around there. Zoom in by clicking the right analog then analyze it.

I dont have the game, but I'm guessing a phone

D_l3anks_AK47 (Topic Creator)7 years ago#4
I dont know, Im searching everywhere and i dont see any desk. Could it be that it is on the otherside of the gate? Because on the side im on i dont see a desk anywhere. You seem like you solved it, can you tell me if it was on the otherside or was it on the side with the gargoyles? Thank you
Is that the one in Cash's room? If it is there is a picture on the desk
D_l3anks_AK47 (Topic Creator)7 years ago#6
Also im having trouble with the one in Intensive Treatment Lobby " A Puzzle has many sides, but only some are visible" I see a half question mark on a window in the office in the middle in detective mode, but i zoom in and scanned it but it says partially captured.
You need to have the ability to override the electric gates before you can get into Cash's office and scan his picture for the "Hook up with the family" (Get it, Hook, Family)
As for the question marks, you have to look for both parts of the question marks. I think that one you look out the window and it mates up with the dot on the bottom. But anyway, you're looking for marks on two surfaces in detective mode.
D_l3anks_AK47 (Topic Creator)7 years ago#8
Thanks mr pipboy, But i cant find the other half of the question mark, If its not too much trouble can you please tell me in which direction i should look and where to find it?
silverfoxx98 7 years ago#9
The the other part of the question mark is underneath the vent
"I am what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object."
D_l3anks_AK47 (Topic Creator)7 years ago#10
So it seems i cant complete my original riddle at the moment, But thankfully Pipboy was right, if you guys have problems solving this one all you have to do is go into detective mode where the top half of the question mark is and look out the window, the dot is on the far wall. align it and scan it and you have completed that Riddle, Also the "You Dont Know Jack About Gotham" Riddle that comes right after this one is soved by scanning the radio. Just to put it out there. Thanks again.

The US' Celanese Corporation, a global technology leader in manufacturing specialty materials and chemical products, is slated to construct an ethanol plant in Indonesia in the fourth quarter of this year.
Industry Ministry director general for manufacturing-based industry Panggah Susanto said on Tuesday that the firm was assessing the location for the facility, which would be part of its total multi-year investment of US$2 billion.
"The firm is seeking a location where the supply of coal, which will be converted into ethanol, is abundant. It can be in Sumatra or Kalimantan," he said at his office after meeting the firm's executives and US Ambassador to Indonesia Scot Marciel.
Last August, Celanese had inked a deal with its local counterpart Pertamina to cooperate on the project that would generate a ten percent high-octane fuel ethanol blend by 2020 and help cut the state-owned firm's dependency on gasoline imports by more than 30 million barrels annually.

Has anyone found out your baby's gender yet? I am having an ultrasound next week and I'll be 16 weeks. Do you think it's too early to tell the gender? I'm hoping the baby will cooperate! Let me know ya'll's experience with learning the gender of your baby!
Finding out the gender
Are you going to one of the ultrasound boutiques? I have heard that yes you can tell by 16 weeks. I have a u/s next week too but I will be 12 weeks.. too early to tell and even if they wanted to guess they are not allowed to tell us :(
Proud Mommy of 2
I think it is possible for them to tell you! I found out my oldest was a girl very early on.. not for sure exact week but it was prior to 4 months. Good Luck I am so excited for you to find out let us know!!!
My Ob said that I probably won't be able to see anything until 18-20 weeks...If you can see the sex of your baby at 16, please let us know because I will defenitley try to schedule an ultrasound while the soldier is home. I know he would love to see it instead of reading it in a letter. I must say that the other comments have me really excited! lol...I think I'm going to go ahead and schedule that appointment anyway! lol...Good Luck! Let us know what you're having!!!
My firstborn child, mommy and daddy cannot WAIT to hold you in our arms
We just had an u/s today at 13 weeks. She told us she's pretty sure ours is a BOY!!! She said she'll confirm at 20 weeks, but she is very cautious on telling and was pretty sure. With my dd, I was told at 16 weeks. I think it depends on each doctor...each one is different. My baby today was VERY active though...oh no!!
Wife to Tom 08/26/06,� Mommy to Sarah Ashley 06/18/08
God had blessed me with an amazing life and an amazing family to share it with!
With my first one my OB waited till i was 20 weeks to tell us the sex only because she wanted to be as sure as she could possible be. I'm hoping to find out as soon as possible with this one tho. i am only 13 weeks so i have a few more weeks to go.
Mikayla ~ 7*3*07
Angel Baby ~ 1*13*09�
Emily�~ 7*26*11�
We are supposed to find out on the 29th, which is 2 days shy of 16 weeks. Fingers crossed.
Don't want to burst anyone's bubbles but be careful with getting too excited if someone tells you "its a ___!" before 18-20 weeks. We had quite a few girls get thrown for a loop thinking they were having one and by the next u/s it was the other. Heck, some even as late as we are are still getting funny answers. Good luck to you all finding out but just be cautious and don't go shopping like crazy just yet!!
Married to My Favorite Man in the World 8/29/09
MJborn via C-Section2/3/11
We won't find out until Jan 14th (20 weeks) but I had a friend who found out yesterday and she's due the same date as us (June 4th). So jealous she found out before 16 weeks! The suspense is killing me!
Katie and Drew married since May 24, 2008.
Easton Andrew born June 2nd!!!! True LOVE!
Furbabies: Jasmine (3) and Opie (1)
MIne is scheduled for Feb 4 UGH!
Willow 1/26/2009 & Linden 7/3/2011
♥(#)♥, (l)x2
Mine is scheduled for Jan 27. I am so inpatient I just want to know now! I had my nuchal scan yesterday and at 12 weeks the tech said she thought she saw a little package. I don't trust it though because I compared the pic to DD's 12 w, 6 day u/s and it looks the same. I have heard at this age they all have little nubs that either grow out to be a boy or fold back in on themselves to form a girl. If you saw my DD's 12 wk, 6 day u/s you would have sworn boy!

Just think -- eight legs to bite off instead of just a couple of measly ears. But of course we're not talking about dessert today. Today we're talking about main course holiday eating for Passover and Easter. Nancy's crepe-shot By Dick Stein • Apr 13, 2011 Seattle Times Listen Listening... / What kind of kid prefers crepes to pop tarts for breakfast? Wit Whiz? By Dick Stein • Mar 30, 2011 Nancy Leson Listen Listening... / The headlined question can be further refined -- and refined is the word -- to "Light, Tex-Mex, Salsa Con Queso, or Italia?" Vegetarian? "Thass easy for you to say..." By Dick Stein • Mar 23, 2011 KPLU Listen Listening... / It's a giant veg-out! For a good time call John Pizzarelli By Dick Stein • Mar 16, 2011 KPLU Listen Listening... / And for good eats call his Aunt Vera. What a great time Nancy and I had hanging out with Pizzarelli and talking about food, food movies and his aunt Vera's cooking -- immortalized in song in this segment. One of the food movies we discussed, Big Night, about an Italian restaurant in the '50s, features a deliriously over the top multi-course feast prepared for an expected visit from Louis Prima. John Pizzarelli's box lunch serenade By Dick Stein & Nancy Leson • Mar 9, 2011 KPLU Listen Listening... / The only difference between John Pizzarelli and a real ham is...

The power of sour By Dick Stein & Nancy Leson • Feb 23, 2011 Nancy Leson Listen Listening... / I like it straight out of the bottle, no ice, no glass. And with apologies to Fast Eddie Felson, I don't mean JTS Brown bourbon. Put them all together, they spell tiramisu By Dick Stein & Nancy Leson • Feb 15, 2011 Nancy Leson Listen Listening... / Created for a Medici, it was the dessert of choice for Venetian working girls. Leson and Stein put feet in mouth – again By Dick Stein & Nancy Leson • Feb 9, 2011 Courtesy of Nancy Leson Listen Listening... / Our diets lay bound, gagged and locked in the trunk as Nancy and I sped toward our date with Wretched Excess. New pie bakeries roll out in Seattle By Dick Stein • Feb 2, 2011 Listen Listening... / The shrink-ray is insatiable. First it came for our donuts. Now it focuses on pies. These days you can get 'em so small they should come with postage stamps instead of napkins. In this Food for Thought, Nancy Leson tells about two of the new mini-pie joints recently opened in Seattle: Pie, located in city's Fremont neighborhood, and High 5 Pie on Capitol Hill. Food lovers on a diet By KNKX • Jan 26, 2011 FL4Y / Flickr Listen Listening... / They've looked in the mirror, and the mirror's not only looking back, it's talking back. Dick "The Big Eater" Stein and Nancy "All You Can Eat" Leson both say it's time to diet. In fact, they've already started. Supermarkets' trading on 'charade of intimacy' By Dick Stein & Nancy Leson • Jan 19, 2011 KPLU Listen Listening... / Have you noticed your local grocery clerk asking you more personal questions of late? "Plastic or paper?" is giving way to "What are your weekend plans?" This wicked turn toward what they call a 'charade of intimacy' doesn't sit well with Dick and Nancy. They've had it up to their squeaky shopping carts with faux familiarity! And what about those frequent shopper cards that populate your wallet? Are they really 'saving' you money, as you're told at check out? Seattle's restless restaurant scene By Dick Stein & Nancy Leson • Jan 12, 2011 Tom Douglas.com Listen Listening... / The end (and the beginning!) of the year often marks change in business of all kinds, and the restaurant business is no exception. Nancy and Dick lay down the latest on some noteworthy Seattle restaurateurs who have opened - or are about to open - new kitchens. Other famous spots have new names, or new owners. Nancy says look out for: Making mochi to ring in the year By Dick Stein & Nancy Leson • Jan 5, 2011 Nancy Leson It's the first Food for Thought of 2011, so Nancy and Dick put the spotlight on a little morsel associated with the start of a new year from the Japanese tradition: Mochi making. Cooking in a power outage By Dick Stein & Nancy Leson • Dec 29, 2010 Gary Davis/KPLU A lot of folks around these parts lately have become experts at cooking during a power outage.

Following the Fish By Nancy Leson & Dick Stein • Dec 1, 2010 Nancy Leson Ever wonder how your favorite restaurants make sure they have the freshest seafood ready to serve to you? Dick and Nancy take you on a journey from the boat (and the airfreight cargo office) to the table, and follow one of the regions top seafood proprietors on this week's Food for Thought. Nancy's Thanksgiving Hotline By Nancy Leson & Dick Stein • Nov 24, 2010 Seattle Times food writer Nancy Leson and Dick Stein usually get together at the KPLU studios each Tuesday to record Food for Thought -- but given Tuesday's hazardous driving conditions it seemed more prudent for Dick to just get Nancy on the phone for their Thanksgiving chat. Not mellow about Jell-O By Dick Stein & Nancy Leson • Nov 17, 2010 Nancy Leson photo. It shakes, it shimmies, sometimes it's got marshmallows in it. It's that wiggly dessert Seattle Times food writer Nancy Leson recently rhapsodized about in her blog. But KPLU's Dick Stein is a fellow who's not so mellow about Jell-O.

DISD Parents Can Vote on School Calendars, Both of Which Run Well Into June. Unless ...
So much for that proposal to stretch some Dallas Independent School District students' calendars till July 26. Still: District parents have till Monday to vote on two calendar options, down from the five presented to trustees earlier this month, and on the surface, at least, both run longer than the current school-year schedule that rings its final bell on May 31 (unless there's an inclement weather day) and features but 175 days of instruction.
Here you'll find the two contenders as selected by "representatives of schools, community members and central staff employees." And you'll note: Both contain 182 instructional days (sort of) and slide into June (maybe); how far depends on when students start and how well they perform. One option has the kiddos back to school on August 27, and cue the Alice Cooper on June 13. Behind Door No. 2 is the post-Labor Day start with a June 20 wrap-up. And unlike this year, when students got a full week off for Thanksgiving and look forward to two full weeks vacation in December, they'll only take three days in November and 10 for Christmas and the New Year.
But -- and this is a big but -- those June instructional days aren't a given. We touched on this at the beginning of the month, but I'll let the district explain its intentions concerning the extended schedule:
Both calendars also call for the school district to apply to the Texas Education Agency to participate in TEA's Optional Flexible Year Plan for next school year. If approved, the plan would permit the district to offer some secondary students an incentive to attend classes ten fewer days than other students if they meet certain requirements in the areas of achievement, attendance and behavior. The ten days would permit schools to provide targeted, small group instruction to struggling students who need additional support.
Last I looked, those requirements were "yet to be determined." So. Vote now. The board hopes to do likewise on January 26.

It does work.They had it at game conventions and people to test it out.You think they would release a game that doesnt work-Do you think they would risk such a high thing???

And as we all know, overweight people are always the most active. That's why they're overweight... because they like to exercise? Uhhhh...
This doesn't sound right...
It is possible that they are delaying the release in order to have enough stock for the expected surge in sales.Originally Posted by Backwards Man
Not only will the people get WiiFit for the game, they will be getting the Wii Board also. So, those skates/snowboarders/gamers who don't want WiiFit, but want the board for one of the other 10 games to be released, will be buying the game also.

I even beleive Metal Gear fans that own PS3's aren't even gonna buy it. The new game just doesn't feel right.
