REACh is the largest and most complex piece of chemical legislation ever introduced. Many thousands of pages of legislation and guidance exist describing the process, strategy and responsibilities at each step of the chemical life-stage. However, it is imperative that the risk management decisions which emanate from the REACh legislation are based on sound science. It is in this area that SETAC can provide a role in providing a forum for discussion, information sharing and dialogue with respect to the scientific issues within REACh.
The primary aim of the Advisory Group (AG) therefore would be to serve as a focal point within SETAC Europe for scientific REACh-orientated discussions and activities. Specifically in

The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary will hold a boating class on Saturday, July 20 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The boating class will be held at the Daniel Island Library, 2301 Daniel Island Drive, Charleston.
The course, About Boating Safely, is certified by South Carolina DNR and graduates will receive the South Carolina Boater Education Card. In South Carolina, boaters under 16 years of age are required by law to pass an approved boater education course before operating, without supervision, a personal watercraft (PWC) or a boat powered by a motor with 15 hp or more.
Course fee is $30 per person, or $35 for up to six family members sharing the same textbook. Students under the age of 12 years must be accompanied by an adult enrolled in the class. Class size is limited.
To register online, visit http://a0701206.wow.uscgaux.info and click on Boating Courses. For more information or to register for the class contact Chris Gallapis at 843-729-9564 or email email@example.com.
The boating course is designed for boaters of all ages and experience with an emphasis on recreational boating safety. You will learn what to do before you get underway and the basics of protecting and handling your boat or PWC safely. Also included are waterways navigation, safety equipment, boating problems and emergencies, and legal requirements for boating in South Carolina.
Many insurance companies offer discounts to graduates of the boating education course.
A component of the U. S. Coast Guard, the Coast Guard Auxiliary is staffed by civilian volunteers who provide support for most of the Coast Guard missions. The Auxiliary promotes recreational boating safety through public education classes and offers free vessel safety checks for recreational boaters.

I need an image with just the outline of two pigs kissing, no detail, just a white background with black outline.
I'd prefer in vector, but it doesn't need to be.
I'm looking for a bunch of different versions so I'll probably hire a few people to do this. I'm paying $20 per person and would like you to draw me as many versions as you have inspiration for. Work on this for however long you think we are both getting a fair deal for the price.

The Flyers have been nearly flawless against the NHL's elite teams recently, but they have to take on powerful St. Louis on Tuesday without their best defenseman, Kimmo Timonen.
Timonen was hit in the chin with the puck in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to Boston, but he returned to the game. He did not participate in Monday's optional skate at the Wells Fargo Center, and the did not make the trip to St. Louis.
Erik Gustafsson (plus-9), a healthy scratch the last 14 games, will replace him.
The Flyers defeated the visiting Blues, 4-1, on March 22, and they have a combined 4-0-1 record against St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Chicago and Boston since March 15.

COLUMBIA South Carolina tailback Marcus Lattimore faces a long road back after tearing multiple right knee ligaments Oct. 27 against Tennessee. But doctors believe he wont need more than one surgery to repair the ligaments, according to USC running backs coach Everette Sands. Lattimore underwent surgery Friday and has already begun his rehab, Sands said.
The news that Lattimore likely wont require another surgery is good for him, because multiple ligament tears sometimes require multiple surgeries, which can prolong the recovery process. Still, there is no timetable yet for Lattimores recovery, Sands said. USC head coach Steve Spurrier has said Lattimore might not be available to play until the 2014 season.
As USC moves on without Lattimore for the seasons final four games, starting Saturday afternoon at home against Arkansas, Sands said fifth-year senior Kenny Miles and true freshman Mike Davis, the highest-rated recruit in USCs Class of 2012, will likely split carries more than Lattimore did with Miles. Lattimore carried 143 times this year. Miles has 42 carries, Davis 24.
Sands said the coaches still plan to redshirt Brandon Wilds, who started last season as a true freshman after Lattimore got hurt.
Hell dress out, Sands said of Wilds. Hes ready to go if we need him, but if we dont have to use him, then we wont.
Clowney nursing foot
USCs best remaining available player, defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, limped off the field after Wednesdays practice a common sight recently. Clowney has been playing through a right foot injury since hurting it Sept. 29 at Kentucky.
Defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward has described it as a deep bruise. Coach Steve Spurrier likened it to the stress fracture that free safety D.J. Swearinger played through late last season. Clowney said he isnt sure about the nature of the injury. But he plans to keep playing.
I just know it hurts real bad when Im out here, he said. I cant run full speed right now. Were going to have to figure out what it is after the season is over with.
Spurrier said Clowney has been limited to about half practices on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, and that he might require surgery after the season. Clowney said he plays through the injury during games without a pain-killing shot.
Clowney said his foot started to feel better a little bit over the break (last week), but coming out here and running on it (again this week) is making it get back to where it was.
Clowney estimated he is about 85 percent healthy.
I need to be 100, he said. I want to be 100.
Holloman gaining comfort
Unlike last season, USC coaches were able to follow through this season on their wishes to play DeVonte Holloman at spur outside linebacker. Holloman, a senior, was the starting strong safety the past two seasons.
He currently ranks third on the team with 40 tackles, including 6½ for loss (second only to Clowneys 15) and two sacks, plus two interceptions and three pass breakups.
He said he has adjusted to spur by reacting faster to the run and the pass and taking on linemen, as opposed to in the beginning, I kind of had a (defensive backs) mindset, which is Ive got a couple seconds to wait and see whats going on. When youre a little bit closer (to the line) everything is happening a lot faster.

Comments about Ax Handle Stool, Bar Stool right:
We ordered 4 counter height and 1 bar height. One leg of the bar height stool was split. I called Artful Home - they arranged to have the damaged one picked up and ordered a replacement. The day the replacement arrived; the damaged one was picked up. Pure coincidence; as there were two different trucks stopping by our house. We truly love these stools at the kitchen peninsula in our lake home.

Rose Sheheen has spent her life in education and supporting educators. Sheheen taught elementary and middle school and SEAGUL for eight years and was a principal at Blaney Elementary School for 14 years before becoming a district-level employee in Kershaw County. Despite her long-term stint as a school and district administrator, Sheheen always thought of herself as a teacher even, she said, if it was the "boss-teacher or the chief-teacher."
The Kershaw County School District (KCSD) has developed and adopted a brand new strategic plan enabling students to "explore, discover, express, create and succeed" through the exploration of the arts. KCSD administrators and a committee of arts-affiliated community members have worked for several months to develop the "Strategic Plan for the Arts" through the year 2018.
Kershaw County School District Superintendent Dr. Frank Morgan swore in new and returning Kershaw County Board of School Trustees at its first meeting of the year Tuesday morning.
Students at North Central Middle School (NCMS) don renaissance hats on Reading Celebration Day, a focus on making reading more pleasurable rather than for just passing a test. Through a grant from International Paper Company, NCMS selected eight of 20 S.C. Junior Book Award Nominee books. The students wearing the hats are (seated, left to right) Lily Crosby, Megan Mizer, Olivia Walsh, Savannah Rabon, Rebecca Greenway, Breanna Bowen, Hannah Parker, Casey Gibson, Branna Thomas, Elizabeth Touchberry, Desira Langley, Casey Stephens, Angela Childress, Scarlett Jones, Brianna Aldridge, Brea Knight; (front row) Constance Torres, Jewell Evans, Destiny Tucker, Madison Hodge, Alexis ...
The old Camden Middle School will be listed for sale in few weeks after a minor beautification process and a reassessment of its value.
Two of three new Kershaw County school board trustees are looking forward to their first meeting on Jan. 8 and already have some priorities in mind.
(The following information was provided by the Montessori School of Camden.)
A former Camden High School (CHS) student is celebrating $25,000 in funding through the Fuel Cell Collaborative, a partnership between the University of South Carolina (USC) and the city of Columbia.
The North Central Middle School Junior Beta Club sponsored a shoe box drive for Samaritan's Purse. The students collected 51 shoe boxes that were then sent to Boone, N.C. before they are delivered to other countries. The students shown in the picture from top left to right are Chance Mangum, Caroline Dixon, Troy Radden, Jordan Sweetenburg, Callie Wooten and Harrison Radden. Second row-Colin Anderson, Abbigale Outlaw, Lakeyana Jordan, Caroline Anderson. In the bottom row are students Naveed Kashmiri, Colton Smith, Joanna Norwood, and Daisy Noyola.
Kershaw County dentists will continue their long-standing relationship with Kershaw County School District (KCSD) by providing dental screenings for elementary school students in K5 to-fifth-grade beginning in January.
The third time is a charm as much as the first and second ones. After being the first school in the state to be named a recipient of the national "School to Watch" award in 2007, Lugoff-Elgin Middle School (L-EMS) has been recertified for the honor a second time.

Sachin Tendulkar completed his hundredth century against Bangladesh in Dhaka, a record that will stand the test of time.
This record will stand just like Don Bradman's record of 99.96—Sachin's current rivals are more than 25 centuries behind him.
Tendulkar said that he did not play the game for records and statistics, but if one is playing for more than two decades, such records are bound to come.
Let us look at some of the amazing centuries that Sachin scored in his career. Obviously, there are too many of them and picking only a few is unjust to the others.
Hence, we will look at centuries in the last three years only.

Allie Long scored what could prove to be one of the most important goals of the Women's Professional Soccer season when the former Penn State and North Carolina star scored in the 89th minute to give the Washington Freedom to a 3-2 win over the Chicago Red Stars that moved it into a tie with Sky Bue FC for fourth place. The loss ended sixth-place Chicago's slim playoff hopes.
The Freedom has a game in hand on Sky Blue FC and holds the edge in the tiebreaker, though the final playoff berth could be decided when they meet Aug. 8 in their season finale at the Maryland SoccerPlex.
Washington's Abby Wambach scored two goals sandwiched around goals by Megan Rapinoe and Karen Carney before Long decided the contest with her late goal.
"I think our team is starting to gel a little bit more," said Wambach. "I know that I had an 800-pound gorilla on my back considering the national team 100-goal thing. Then I just have been playing pretty well and free. I've been getting on the end of some good balls hit by my teammates. This is the time of the season that you want to peak."
In other weekend action, Boston and Sky Blue played to a 0-0 tie, and Saint Louis had to settle for a 1-1 tie with FC Gold Pride that kept the second-place Athletica from clinching a playoff berth.

Teaching Talent presents a framework for human capital development that draws on a two-year initiative by the Aspen Institute Education and Society Program to research sectors that have effective, well-developed human capital systems and point the way toward human capital innovations in public education. About 80 percent of education spending is devoted to personnel, yet the capacity of schools and districts to recruit, develop, and retain top talent is stunningly low compared with other knowledge sectors. This problem is most profoundly felt in urban school systems, which creates tremendous inequity for the students who most need a high-quality education. Research findings make it clear that human capital is one of the most important levers we have for improving school effectiveness and student achievement. However, educators, district leaders, and policy makers are just beginning to recognize that strengthening human capital should be their top priority--and to act on that recognition. The book first identifies the elements of a robust human capital strategy in education--teacher recruitment and career development; the principal's role in ensuring teacher quality; and the district's role in creating the conditions necessary to support effective human capital management. It then offers a comprehensive, visionary framework that weaves these elements together.

The personal car trend in today's automobile industry has brought about cars with a personality. Not to be left wanting, Infiniti Division of Nissan Motor Corp. has introduced a 1993 Infiniti J30 model that definitely has a personality all its own.Many regard the new J30 as the best-looking Infiniti ever turned out by the division, and with good cause.Styled at Nissan Design International in La Jolla, Calif., the car's fluid, rounded form gives a clear indication of the company's view of the future.Dealers say customers bought the predecessor J30 because of the quality of the workmanship and the amenities offered. These obviously have been retained' but a third dimension, a bold look, is playing an increasing role in attracting purchasers.The '93 J30 offers a dramatic front view that is highlighted by twin projector-beam headlights and a broad aerodynamic stance. The body is a series of blended curves that provides a low coefficient of air drag and results in reduced wind noise at high speed.The J30 sedan that David Holscher, general sales manager for Dreyer & Reinbold Infiniti, provided for a test car had an air of virtual mortuary silence about it. But the four-door was far from deceased.If it is true that man does not live by bread alone, then it can be said that an automobile doesn't exist on styling alone. And the J30 doesn't.Technology has been mated with styling to produce a sedan that performs like a silken-gloved sports car while offering the accouterments of a luxury four-door.Powered by V-6 engineThe Infiniti's power comes from a high-tech V-6. The 3.0-liter (180.56-cubic-inch-displacement) engine has four overhead cams and four valves per cylinder. It produces 210 horsepower.Four-cam, 24-valve V-6s are not all that uncommon anymore, but Nissan has gone a bit further with this one. The J30's engine is based on the V-6 in the Nissan 300ZX. It utilizes a valve timing control system that adjusts valve overlap in response to engine load and engine speed.This enhances the torque in all speed ranges, as drivers will find when they drop the hammer for maximum acceleration. The J30 is a rear-drive with limited slip differential, and the rear wheels just keep pushing all the way up the engine's speed range.Maximum horsepower comes in a 6,400 rpm and maximum torque at 4,800 rpm. The four-cammer is so smooth and quick revving that the sensation of speed is almost absent until you look at the instrument panel.Performance enthusiasts may throw up their hands at the thought of the car being available only with an automatic transmission, but the shift points are high enough that the V-6 can flex its muscle.In order to shift smoothly but without burning the clutch, engine power is retarded for an instant just prior to shifting. It all happens so quickly you never even know there has been a power drop, and full-throttle gear changes are made without a trace of a lurch.Today's thinking relative to perf ormance handling characteristics has shifted away from a ride that is about a stiff as a slab of cement. Now it's toward more supple wheel movement.2The thought is that for control it is better to have the wheels in contact with the pavement rather than having the vehicle leap from peak to peak over a rough road surface.The J30's four-wheel independent suspension system rides on front and rear subframes, with the rear multilink suspension being similar to that of the bigger Infiniti Q45. The ride is luxury-car easy without being soft, and there is high-speed stability and excellent cornering response.The sedan is not a dirt- track racer, so if you go into a corner hard enough there is a trace of body lean. But at no time do you get the impression the car is going to play tricks on you.J30 has luxury priceAs with any luxury automobile, all this comes at price. On the test car it was$33,400.In return, the J30 will stand up with the best of the luxury automobiles relative to accessories and appointments. Everything is standard -- all the expected driver/passenger power systems, stereo, climate control, tilt steering column, power sunroof and the like. There even is wiring for a cellular telephone.And a safety feature not found in all luxury sedans was both driver-side and passenger-side air bags.I would have liked a telescopic wheel to go with the tilt steering column, because that lets the driver get way back from the pedals. But with eight-way power front seats, it still was easy to find a driving position where I felt like I had hold of the machine. Seats 5 passengersThe J30 is a five-passenger automobile with exterior and interior dimensions to match. The rounded doors extending into the roof made getting in and out easy, and there was plenty of legroom and headroom once seated behind the wheel.I also would appreciated a bit more rear-seat legroom when the driver or passenger seats were in their rear-most positions. But unless you're the size of a Colts lineman, you won't find seating cramped.As personal luxury cars go, this new J30 is pretty personal. And it constitutes one of the better efforts by Infiniti Division.

OSHA Trade Release
U.S. Department of Labor
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
Office of Communications
Washington, D.C.
For Immediate Release
Trade News Release
November 17, 2005
Contact: Frank Meilinger
Phone: (202) 693-1999
WASHINGTON -- The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Precision Metalforming Association (PMA) have formed an Alliance to promote worker safety and health by reducing and preventing amputations and ergonomic related hazards.
"This Alliance is an important step in reaching out to PMA members and workers in the metalforming industry to provide them the training and education that will help keep them safe on the job," said Jonathan L. Snare, Acting Assistant Secretary of Labor for OSHA. "We look forward to a successful working relationship with PMA and improving worker safety and health throughout the industry."
"Safety is of utmost importance to the metalforming industry," added PMA President Bill Gaskin. "PMA looks forward to working closely with OSHA through this Alliance to provide the industry with information and access to training resources that will help protect employees."
OSHA and PMA will provide workers in the metalforming industry with guidance and access to training resources to help protect employee's health and safety, particularly in reducing and preventing exposure to ergonomic related hazards and addressing press safety issues such as machine guarding and lockout/tagout to prevent amputations and other injuries.
Through the Alliance, OSHA and PMA will develop workplace safety and health curricula and materials on the recognition and prevention of amputation and ergonomic-related hazards, and provide expertise in communicating the information to employers and employees in the industry. The organizations will participate in forums, round table discussions, and stakeholder meetings.
The Alliance also calls for the promotion and encouragement of PMA members' or worksites' participation in OSHA's cooperative programs such as the Voluntary Protection Programs, the Consultation Program and its Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program.
A team of OSHA and PMA representatives will meet at least three times a year to develop an action plan, determine working procedures, and identify the roles and responsibilities of the participants. OSHA will also encourage state plan states and consultation projects to participate in the Alliance.
Employers are responsible for providing a safe and healthful workplace for their employees. OSHA's role is to assure the safety and health of America's workers by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach, and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual process improvement in workplace safety and health. For more information, visit www.osha.gov.
U.S. Labor Department news releases are accessible on the Internet at www.dol.gov. The information in this release will be made available in alternative format upon request (large print, Braille, audio tape or disc) from the COAST office.

Microsoft CEO is UWM alum, but does he have Panthers pride?
Satya Nadella graduated from University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with master's in computer science
This column started out to be an interview, Panther to Panther, with Satya Nadella.
But have you ever tried to get the CEO of Microsoft Corp. on the phone? It's hard enough to reach tech support.
My idea was to call him up and compare our experiences at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I graduated in 1980 with a bachelor's degree in newspaper scribbling, and he in 1990 with a master's in computer science.
I wanted to ask Nadella how he liked Milwaukee, if he lived in a party house near campus, if he had favorite places to get a beer or pizza or floppy disks.
Was he a Panthers fan? Practically no one was when I was in school, though I think we had a basketball team back then. That has changed a lot, now that the UWM men's hoops team is headed for the NCAA Tournament for the fourth time since 2003.
Let me say something that I don't think I uttered once during my entire time at UWM: Go Panthers! Sorry I can't name anyone on the team. There's that tall guy and that other guy.
So anyway, I had been reading about Nadella being named in February as the new leader at Microsoft and about his two years at UWM after earning an undergraduate degree in his native India. He went on from here to work in Chicago before joining Microsoft in 1992.
But the articles I saw had precious little about his life here, except that he worked as a software engineer at a company in Brookfield, tutored inner city Milwaukee kids, and sometimes slept in the engineering and math lab at school because he was working so hard.
I can't top that, though I was known to fall asleep drooling on the U-bus.
The articles, at least in this newspaper, didn't quote Nadella, so I thought I'd ring him up.
UWM is super proud of their workplace descendant of Bill Gates, but they didn't have a private number or email to share with me. School spokesman Tom Luljak suggested I try the main corporate number. To me that sounded like calling the White House and saying, "Yo, is Barack there?"
"Thank you for calling Microsoft Corp." a computer-generated female voice answered. Good start. What she said next seemed odd. "If you need to report injuries or existing danger to life or property, press 1." Who calls Microsoft to report injuries or danger? And what would nonexisting danger be?
Then the voice wanted the name of the person I was trying to reach. I said Satya Nadella as clearly as I could. She asked me to say the name again.
"Are you looking for...?" the computer said, and then I heard another recorded voice of someone I'm assuming is Nadella speaking his name.
Yes, I said.
"Sorry, I'm not permitted to make that call," the female voice replied.
Luljak also had told me about an agency used by Microsoft for media requests. So I called Waggener Edstrom Communications in Seattle in mid-February and heard back by email that "we are not currently offering interviews with Satya Nadella."
But we're almost like buddies from our different years at UWM, I pleaded. I just want to talk about the old days, the mighty black and gold. Please get me 15 minutes on the phone.
Can't do it, said friendly but unbudgeable account coordinator Kimberly Lamberton. I tried her again last week. She thanked me for circling back, but said it's still no.
I reached out to a UWM classmate of Nadella who was quoted in an earlier article about him, and he said he'd pass along my contact info to Nadella. But that's where it ended.
The world is better connected than ever thanks to companies like Microsoft. I only wish I could reach their leader.

Women's earnings, 1979–2010
July 22, 2011
Between 1979 and 2010, the earnings gap between women and men narrowed for most age groups. Over that same period, at each level of education, women aged 25 years and older have also fared better with respect to earnings growth than men of similar age.
The women's-to-men's earnings ratio among 25- to 34-year-olds rose from 68 percent in 1979 to 91 percent in 2010, and the ratio for 45- to 54-year-olds increased from 57 percent to 77 percent.
From 1979 to 2010, the long-term trends for teenagers and for workers age 65 and older fluctuated, but have essentially remained flat.
Although both women and men without a high school diploma have experienced declines in inflation-adjusted earnings from 1979 to 2010, the drop for women was significantly less than that for men: a 9-percent drop for women as opposed to a 31-percent drop for men.
From 1979 to 2010, on an inflation-adjusted basis, earnings for women with a college degree have increased by 33 percent, while those of male college graduates have risen by 20 percent.
These data are from the Current Population Survey. Earnings data in this article are median usual weekly earnings of full-time wage and salary workers. To learn more, see "Highlights of Women's Earnings in 2010" BLS Report 1031 (PDF).

Nationwide earnings data by occupation from National Compensation Survey now available
October 19, 1999
According to a new BLS survey program, average hourly earnings of State and local government workers were $17.82 in 1997, about 24 percent higher than the average of $14.39 for the private industry workers covered by the survey.
[Chart data—TXT]
Differences between earnings in private industry and State and local government varied by occupational group. Among executive, administrative, and managerial workers, those in private industry earned more than the government employees ($27.86 per hour versus $23.95). Hourly wages of administrative support employees were about the same in private industry—$11.54—as in State and local government—$11.50.
Workers in service occupations earned much more in State and local government than in private industry. Service workers in State and local government averaged $13.26 per hour, well above the $7.51 average in private industry.
A wide variety of additional information is available from the new National Compensation Survey program. For example, wages for a specific occupation such as mechanical engineer are published separately when publication criteria are met.
These data on earnings are a product of the National Compensation Survey program, which conducts establishment-based surveys. Note that the 1997 NCS covered establishments with 50 or more employees. An overview of the initial NCS results for the nation is in "National Compensation Survey Produces First Nationwide Results" (PDF 56K), by John Buckley, Compensation and Working Conditions, Fall 1999. Additional information can be found in National Compensation Survey: Occupational Wages in the United States, 1997, BLS Bulletin 2519 (PDF 922 K). Reports on earnings in individual areasof the country can also be obtained.

I only have a few thoughts from tonight's gsme. I liked the changes that Corbin tried with substitutions. Unfortunately I wish they would have come in the first half as well.
So the bench struggled tonight. Big deal. That is bound to happen. I'm giving them a pass. I should point out that outside of a 5 minute stretch of bad defense and no offense the bench actually looked good.
The glaring and obvious problem is still Fat Fail aka Big Al. He didn't rebound well tonight, he didn't score efficiently tonight and he didn't defend like always. Hickson is a slightly below average big and yet he looked like an Allstar out there.
Addition by subtraction? I think it's time.
Cy is a Baker, he doesn't work fast food. Don't make that mistake, he doesn't like it.
I don't think the bench played that bad. We had a 7 point lead when Corbin put Jefferson, and Tinsley back in and a little later put Marvin back in. As soon as I saw Tinsley and Jefferson re-enter the game I knew we were toast.
Jefferson -8, Tinsley -12, and Marvin -10. Favors was Also -8 but he was the only guy on the bench that was not basically even. Even though they had Kanter, Favors, Millsap, Burks and Foye in for a good stretch against starters. What happened to these guys can't perform against starters? It sure looks to me like our starters don't perform against starters. And our bench does just fine.
Playoffs here we come. Pass the damn Kool-Aid
Honestly I don't like Al Jefferson at all, but he's going to the Jazz guy for the rest of the season. Who's going to take him? The only team that I think could use him is Miami. They need big bodies. But who would we get back? Cole, Miller, Anthony I don't think Miami would make that deal. We need to trade Millsap for a competent pg and let Al expire.
To me, this is the 2nd-most disappointing game of the season, only surpassed by that &^%$# of a performance against Houston. A very winnable game against a team that was missing a key starter and has the worst bench in the NBA. This should have been an automatic win. Instead, the Jazz do zero rotating on Lillard. Seriously, how hard is it for Corbin to tell his guards NOT to let him shoot a 3? And the bigs were absolutely horrible against Aldridge and Hickson. Jazz were outboarded by 12! And was anyone guarding Batum? I've never seen a guy with so many wide open looks (well, outside of the spacing given to Lillard). This Jazz team is regressing. Yes, blame injuries to Mo, Hayward and Watson. But other teams are hurting too, and the rest of the team steps up...and the coaches adjust. Personnel and coaching changes SHOULD be made (but won't be, I know).
The pen is mightier than the sword. I keep the sword for the day I run out of ink. - Unknown
People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid. - Soren Kierkegaard
Nobody giving Porty credit for their 3pt shooting and anybody look at what Hickson's home stats are and all the other teams he has lit up? Difference was the back up PG that hit those 3's (Nolan Smitch I think is his name) and they had some players (like Hickson) he stepped up since they were missing some players. The only person that stepped up for the Jazz was Carroll & Marvin Williams IMO, Kanter stepped down and Burks at best was even but definitely didn't step up like I had hoped he would.
Oh and I would agree about the PG play and like I say in a lot of losses the PG play is really bad and to win the Jazz have to make up the lack of PG play in other areas.
I know I'm late to this thread but I'm glad some of the same people still only complain about the same things they always do and ignore the fact that despite missing Hayward, Mo and Earl and the Blazers shooting 10-18 (55%) from 3 that the Jazz had a chance to win. So good on you and careful you don't hurt yourself grinding that axe to your elbows.

CHICAGO (AP) - If all you want for Christmas is your company bonus, make another wish. A new study finds that the holiday practice is fading faster than the red on your Santa Claus socks.
Nearly two-thirds of companies don't give any holiday bonuses - not even a lump of coal in employees' stockings. Twelve percent of the companies that responded to a nationwide survey said they've dropped the bonuses recently.
The reason many cited: It's not smart business and provides little incentive for employees to do better work.
"Companies want to get away from giving something for nothing, even at Christmas," said Frank Belmonte, compensation consultant for Hewitt Associates, a management consulting firm that released the findings Wednesday.
With the U.S. economy aglow like the White House Christmas tree, it might seem an odd time for companies to play Scrooge.
But hold those humbug thoughts. Companies are shelling out more bonuses overall than ever, according to Hewitt - they just give them out at different times, linking them to performance rather than the calendar.
"Bonuses are not going away," Belmonte said. "Organizations are just being much more prudent in giving dollars away . . . and want to see a clear return on their investment through enhanced business results."
Take the Kryptonite Corp. Three years ago, when its top management changed, the Canton, Mass.-based lock manufacturer decided to scrap its holiday bonus of a week's pay and tie any bonuses to the company's bottom line.
Now the firm throws a party every February and hands each employee a check based on the previous year's profits. This year's was for $2,100.
"We wanted to get employees much more involved in driving the success of the company," said Jim Mills, the company's chief financial officer. "Some people may have preferred to get a check in December. But no one's complaining now."
A majority of large companies surveyed - 52 percent - have never had a bonus connected to the holiday season.
Clarice Leslie has spent most of her career working at companies that played Grinch for the holidays.
"They gave us a Christmas party and thought they had done something great for us," she said of one.
Now she works at Washington, D.C.,-based Vanguard Communications, which gives a holiday bonus almost every year, depending on the firm's performance. As a result, she said, "I feel even more committed to this company."
According to Hewitt's survey of 268 companies, 36 percent still provide a bonus or gift to employees during the December holiday season. Of those, 37 percent give the bonus in cash, 29 percent give food and 24 percent give a gift certificate to a local retailer. Others counted holiday parties as a bonus.
Some companies are bridging the gap between the old days of traditional Christmas handouts and today's performance-based bonuses by combining the practices.
Strata-G Communications, a Cincinnati advertising agency, went from once-a-year Christmas bonuses to quarterly bonuses when ownership changed hands five years ago. But Jeff Eberlein, a managing partner, said they are careful to ensure that one of the payments comes smack in the middle of the holidays.
"It's too important to people," he said.

The girls' Class 3A, Region 4 cross country meet will be a tight one.
Three teams – Assumption, Sacred Heart and Oldham County – have all been ranked in the state's top 6 all season. That leaves the other six teams fighting for one spot.
The teams will settle on the course at E.P. "Tom" Sawyer Park on Saturday at 12:30 p.m.
Individual favorites
State Rep. Brad Montell (R-Shelbyville) is a fan of charter schools. Too bad Kentucky law does not allow for them.
"Charter schools are usually among the top performer in school districts," he said in a press release. "These high performers are setting important examples about what public schools can achieve, often with under-served students."
That's why Montell has prefiled Bill Request 79 to change current legislation.
The Shelby County Community Foundation presented its annual Partnership Grants on Monday night at Citizens Union Bank in Shelbyville.
The public charity was able to distribute approximately $47,000 to organizations that benefit the community. Representatives from the 27 organizations that applied for grant funds showed up, and five were pleasantly surprised to learn that they would receive some of the money.
The grants were:
For anymore who has experienced frustration at not being able to access links to county agencies on the county's Web site, there's good news and bad news.
The good news is that plans are in the works to address this issue.
The bad news is that it won't be done until the summer of 2010.
The problem with www.sheblycountykentucky.com is browser-related, Shelby County Human Resources Director Gail Renfro said.
"When we set up our Web site, we set it up for Internet Explorer, because everybody had Internet Explorer," she said.
The Simpsonville Lions Club is announcing two upcoming projects which will serve two areas of the community.
The first is called the Third Annual "No Child Left Behind."
This goal of this project is to attempt to make sure that no child in the 40067 zip code (Simpsonville) will go without a toy or game, or in the case of older children, personal items, for Christmas.
Shelby County Fiscal Court on Tuesday approved two new sidewalk projects, one at the courthouse and the other on Hospital Drive.
Some county residents who live on unfinished county roads won't have to worry about being snow- or ice-bound this winter.
Streets in three uncompleted subdivisions will be finished off by the county before winter arrives, Shelby County Judge-Executive Rob Rothenburger said.
And that's important, because until the streets are finished, county road workers can't enter them to remove snow and ice and do preliminary winter treatments.
Voters in the northern part of the county soon will have a new voting location.
Shelby County Fiscal Court voted Tuesday to make a new county fire station handicap accessible, which would qualify the site to act as a suitable location for a voting precinct.
Station 5 at 7370 LaGrange Road, with its 6,000 square feet, would become the new location for voting precinct E-102, which had been located at West Middle School.

Reed has a great reputation with great grad schools, so if you're into that, Reed will help you get into a fantastic graduate program after you leave Reed. Freshman year isn't difficult, but gives you the building blocks to deal with the upcoming storm that is compromised of your later years at Reed. Class get harder and more interesting. Truly, only come here if you are interested in learning and can work hard, otherwise you will have a terrible time. The science, history (including art history) and english departments are particularly respected.
Professors are highly-educated and highly-respected, most have PhDs, and no classes are taught by TAs. But, given the variety of professors, there's a chance that you'll have teachers whose styles you don't like, and that's a fact at all schools. But, they will respect you if you talk to them and try to work with them. They are always willing to hear counterpoints and arguments, and don't mind questions. You'll get the nice teachers and the more intense teachers, the harder graders and the more lenient ones, but one thing they all have in common is their desire for you to truly understand the material. There are many tutoring opportunities, and you're surrounded by so many smart people who are willing to help out, and not be pretentious about it. You can study in the beautiful Performing Arts Building (PAB), outside, anywhere outside, Commons, the cafes, etc. Many picturesque options, lots of quiet options. Curriculum gets exponentially harder, especially junior and senior years. Come here expecting to work hard. Make a point to make lots of friends freshman and sophomore year, and learn how to study.
Reed is well known for its academics.
It is challenging and rigorous and you will become a better student for it.
For a small college we have a pretty broad selection of courses and every department is pretty great in their own ways.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
As any good college informer will say, Reed does not have any student teaching assistants; a professor (almost always with a doctorate in his or her possession) leads every lecture, conference discussion, and seminar. However, what often gets overlooked in an analysis of Reed is our penchant for first names. Our professors are not simply professors: They are Pancho, Natalia, Steve, Bill, and a slew of other friendly-faced first names. All students agree that before they are scholars and instructors, professors are friends and educators. At Reed, no professor is an ivory tower; every person who educates at Reed College works to further the comprehension of any student in need. Accordingly, each professor devotes numerous hours each day to aiding students that require assistance.
As an academic institution, Reed revolves around the concept of the conference system. Each class runs in a conference setting, in which a minimal number of students (10 to 25) and a professor critically discuss the subject of the class. In the conference setting, most Reed professors attempt to guide the conference of students without dominating the discussion. Although some professors may stray from the conference style by either over-guiding or under-guiding a conference, most Reed professors genuinely want to discuss what students think. In the end, Reed professors are no different from Reed students—they simply want to pursue knowledge with the help of others.

This is delicious, Brenda! We had it for dinner tonight and we all agreed it is a 5-star recipe! The fruit juice gives it a subtle sweetness, which we liked. It was easy to make and so very tasty. We'll be making this again often. Thanks for posting this, Brenda.
Very easy to make, and turned out perfectly. Usually not a big fan of peppers, but these were done quite well! Try adding a bit more vinegar for a more tart taste.
I was wondering at first if this recipe was going to be a little thin and if I would need to put it over rice to make it filling enough. As it happened, it was great without. I love the way it turned out and I actually added about half a cup of snap peas which were a great addition!

This weekend, Marmaduke bounds onto over 3,700 screens at 3,213 theaters, Killers hits around 3,300 screens at 2,859 theaters, Get Him to the Greek takes the stage on approximately 3,200 screens at 2,696 theaters, and Splice is unleashed on close to 2,600 screens at 2,450 theaters.
None of these four nationwide releases have the air of an event, and Shrek Forever After may have enough juice left in it to spend a third weekend at the top spot. Shrek 4's grosses over the past few days have been nearly on par with Shrek the Third, which generated $28 million in its third weekend.
The broadest new release, Marmaduke, seems to have the most bankable pedigree, being the latest entry in the popular talking-animal family comedy sub-genre. It's also positioned on the same post-Memorial Day time period that's seen such highly successful releases as Up, Kung Fu Panda, Cars and Finding Nemo.
Recent talking-animal hits include the Alvin and the Chipmunks movies, Garfield and Beverly Hills Chihuahua. Marmaduke strays from the formula a bit by featuring a very large animal, and Chipmunks and Garfield had much more prominent source material. In Marmaduke's trailer, the premise is that Marmaduke moves to California, but such an approach treats the movie as if it were a sequel instead of establishing the franchise.
Marmaduke's advertising hasn't seen the heavy rotation of Chipmunks, Chihuahua and others, and a random dancing dog scene looks like an imitation of Chihuahua. Owen Wilson, who voices Marmaduke, has also been at the forefront of the marketing even though celebrity voices have not been a boon for comparable titles. Marmaduke, though, is a role reversal from Mr. Wilson's last hit, so the thinking may be: "You saw him live with a dog in Marley & Me. Now see him be the dog."
Box Office Mojo's reader polling bears out these concerns over Marmaduke. Less than four percent have voted to see the movie on opening weekend, which was half the interest of G-Force and even less than Underdog among past movies.
Killers has relied on its lead actors to carry the day, because its ads haven't gone beyond the exhausted "Oh my god, I married a spy" premise. While Katherine Heigl (who re-teams with her Ugly Truth director Robert Luketic) plays a character befitting her persona, Ashton Kutcher has no rapport with audiences as an action star, given his roles in mostly goofy comedies. What's worse, is that the marketing has been so quickly and incoherently presented, that the actors' charm has been muted and not allowed to shine in order to draw in audiences.
Similar movie Mr. & Mrs. Smith had a smashing debut on the same June weekend in 2005, but Killers seems more in the same vein as The Bounty Hunter, but it rates much lower in Box Office Mojo's reader polling with less than eight percent voting to see it on opening weekend.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall spin-off Get Him to the Greek is a music-themed comedy, the type of movie that typically flames out at the box office (Pirate Radio, The Rocker, Walk Hard, etc.). Its lead actors, Russell Brand and Jonah Hill, have been comedic supports but aren't known to be audience surrogates. On this weekend last year, The Hangover debuted to tremendous business with no established stars, but it had relatable themes and characters. Knocked Up had an early June birth as well back in 2007.
Though it's been consistently pushed as a comedy trip in its advertising, it would be shocking if Get Him to the Greek proves nearly as appealing as Hangover or Knocked Up, given its narrower focus. Its pattern in Box Office Mojo's reader polling is closer to I Love You, Man and Role Models, though other music comedies have shown more inflated interest relative to their box office.
Splice stands as the first creature feature in more than two years, though the genre is a staple of the cable and straight-to-video markets. It's another "science run amok" horror movie akin to Species and Mimic, and the marketing campaign has been on point: it's clear what this movie's about and people are either in or out, based on their predilections.
Comparable titles have consistently delivered decent numbers, and Splice has posted a good showing in reader polling, scoring a 14.6 percent opening weekend vote with a pattern close to Daybreakers (although with a little less interest).

The two candidates paused to appear together at Ground Zero in New York as a show of unity.
Sadly, it appears that's all it is. A show.
Why does it take such a catastrophe to bring Americans together? And even then, it's only temporary.
Why can't the two camps suspend their attacks on each other permanently, and spend the remaining weeks of the presidential campaign telling us their competing visions for America and what they'll do to achieve them?
In the days and weeks following 9-11, Americans wept, prayed and waved flags on street corners and honked their car horns in support of the country. Members of Congress from both parties shared the Capitol steps and sang and pledged their patriotism.
Now, at times it seems we're tearing ourselves apart in bitter partisan, race and even gender squabbles.
We risk becoming our own worst enemy.
Thursday night, Obama and McCain made another joint appearance at Columbia University in New York -- not to debate, but to share their thoughts and feelings on public service.
Public service. It seems such a quaint notion in a day and age in which a vice-presidential nominee's personal and family life are being turned upside down and criticized and lied about in the most despicable ways. Why would anyone subject herself to that? Aren't we making public service nearly intolerable?
We're not calling for our leaders to take to the Capitol steps again and sing Kumbaya. All we're asking for is civility and leadership and the ability to work with those you disagree with.
We're looking for statesmen.
We've got a ton of problems to solve (see editorial above). They'll take every bit of wisdom and unity of purpose we can muster. We owe our children no less.
Barack Obama and John McCain are two gentlemen. Their campaigns do not reflect that. The two men need to de-fang their political pit vipers and get back on message.
We call on both men to adopt a Sept. 11 approach every day. Fight for your values, argue all day and all night until Nov. 4, show us how you'll do things differently from each other.
But for heaven's sake, and for ours, stop the rancor that's poisoning public service and distracting us from the tasks at hand.

Lawyer SEO is a way of marketing the services of a lawyer through the internet using SEO techniques. There are two ways you can use this method to market your services. One of them is by using internet search engines and the second one is by using online directories.
SEO for some lawyers may seem like a very difficult and mysterious thing. Keywords are very important for any particular website. The lawyer needs to make sure they use keywords mainly used in the legal field in order to make the website successful.
The first thing you need to know when setting up a lawyer website is that the keywords need to be accurately used in the website. However, you should not just stuff the keywords anywhere in order to make your website visible.
Only use keywords where it just comes out naturally and ensure it is relevant to the topic. Search engines will heavily penalize your site if they discover any keywords have been inserted just for the sake of boosting the keyword density.
The first thing you need to lay emphasize is the legal content you post on your website. The keywords should be secondary as it is the quality content the search engines look out for first. The keywords you use as a lawyer will depend on the topic you are writing about.
There are many websites with important information online but people find it hard to access them only because they have not been optimized. What this means is that even though the content used in the website is relevant, it is very hard for search engines to find any niche for the content and it may label your content as irrelevant.
Lawyer SEO helps your website to be easily located by the search engines as the keywords will optimize your content. This may also mean getting a professional who will optimize your website on your behalf and make sure your website ranks higher in the search engine pages.
The success of your optimization will depend on your keyword research. There are very many websites offering free or paid keywords and their performance online. The websites will give you an indication of the amount of traffic the keyword can generate if you use it on your website.
You need to know that the search engines regularly change their ranking. Therefore, you need to make sure you are updated on the new keywords that are getting huge traffic. This will help your website rank higher since the keywords used are the latest.
