Air Products Cuts 2012 Forecast on Lower Electronics Growth
Air Products & Chemicals Inc., the world's largest hydrogen producer, cut its full-year profit forecast on weaker-than-expected economic growth in Asia and Europe and demand for electronics in its most recent quarter.
Earnings per share are expected to be $5.40 to $5.45 in 2012, the Allentown, Pennsylvania-based company said in a statement on its website. Air Products had previously predicted $5.47 to $5.60 for the year.
Profitability at the company's electronics and performance materials unit fell 3.1 percentage points in the third quarter from a year earlier because of pricing pressure, the company said. Air Products, which saw a slowdown in demand in Asia and Europe, has cut costs to offset higher energy expenses and a stronger dollar.
"Economic growth this quarter was below what we expected in Asia, Europe and Electronics," Chief Executive Officer John McGlade said in the statement. "Despite headwinds from the economy and a stronger dollar, we were able to deliver earnings within expectations due to excellent cost performance."
Revenue in the third quarter fell 5 percent to $2.34 billion, while operating profit gained 2 percent to $397 million, the company said.
Linde AG of Germany and Air Liquide SA of France will report earnings on July 27 and 30 respectively.

Vt woman sentenced in others' drug overdoses
BURLINGTON A woman accused of giving drugs to a woman who overdosed and died and a man who overdosed and survived has been sentenced to 60 days on a work crew.
Anna Clark, 26, of Burlington, was given credit for time served Wednesday. Shell spend about a month on the work crew, said Judge Linda Levitt.
If you hadnt been doing so well in your treatment and counseling, I think it would be a sentence to serve (in prison), because of the horrible, horrible outcomes, Levitt said.
Clark admitted to contributing to two overdoses in a deal with prosecutors in March.
She gave cocaine to Cindy Goulet, 54, of Burlington, who died of the combination of cocaine and Dilaudid in June 2012. Four months later, while she was on court-ordered conditions of release, she gave heroin to Andrew Snow, 44, who overdosed and was revived at the hospital. Two other people were also charged in each overdose.
Now that Im sober and have a clear head, I know what I did was wrong, she said Wednesday in court. I cannot take it back.
Clark pleaded guilty in March to delivery of heroin, dispensing a regulated drug and identity theft in a plea deal in which prosecutors dropped 11 other charges, according to The Burlington Free Press.
Prosecutors had sought a prison sentence of two to five years. The defense asked for home confinement.
Defense attorney Luke Collins told the court Clark became addicted after she was prescribed medication for breast cancer.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Goalie Emily Bashara stopped 44 shots but the Green Knights still had a field day...

Visit Ben Gurion's Grave
Favorite thing: The first photo shows Polona, Igor and Marko whom we took to visit Ben Gurion's grave at Sede Boker.
The second photo shows Daria and Zohara at the gravesite entrance.
Ben Gurion was the first elected president of Israel and is regarded as one of the most important figures in the founding of the state of Israel. During his lifetime he was considered the "father of Israel" by most. He also wrote an excellent book called "Israel: A Personal History" if you would like to get an upclose and personal look at the founding of a modern dream.

Former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum spoke at the CareNet banquet in Amarillo last year. He did not mention a campaign to ban birth control. He is now running for president, and he is still not calling for such a ban. As a Catholic, he does not believe in using birth control, which is his "choice." His is an unacceptable choice, according to a pro-choice column published Jan. 15. Anti-abortion activists are deemed zealots in the editorial.
Count me in! I am zealous for my two adopted children. I am zealous for the two women who made a "choice" to be selfless and bear an unplanned child for nine months. Then they each made the pro-child decision to find a couple able to provide for each child. Each woman has gone on to have and raise other children while maintaining a birth-mother relationship with my children.
My wife was a zealot for eight years as a crisis pregnancy counselor. Almost all of the women she counseled had no choice. A parent, husband, boyfriend, coach or teacher almost always was pressuring these women to abort the unique person growing in their womb.
In 1963, my cardiac birth defect was statistically fatal. My parents made a zealous choice to fight to keep me alive.
Texas and other state legislatures are working actively to reduce or remove funding from Planned Parenthood and other abortion-
focused organizations. The push is to limit government-promoted and -funded abortion. The Jan. 15 column by Claudia Stravato inaccurately indicates the legislative focus is contraceptive availability.
Pro-choice activists think no person born since January 1973 has the "right" to be born. They claim the right to choose to kill an unborn child is in the U.S. Constitution, based on an unconstitutional Supreme Court ruling in Roe v. Wade. The ruling was made by seven who made up a right to privacy, a right to abortion and trimester determinations. The U.S. Constitution contains none of these phrases. Justice Harry Blackmun actually acknowledged that "the Constitution does not explicitly mention any right to privacy."
An unplanned pregnancy is certainly a difficult situation for a woman. Dealing with the situation by killing an innocent unborn baby is a "choice" society should not be imposing on women.
Planned Parenthood was paid to abort 332,278 babies in 2009, but only provided nonabortion prenatal services to 7,021 clients. Follow the money. Promoting nonabortion options does not bring in money to Planned Parenthood. CareNet of Amarillo & Canyon provided counseling to 236 abortion-minded women in 2010-11; 230 of these women made the choice to let their unborn children live. CareNet provides their services free and does not take your tax dollars. Planned Parenthood took $487 million of your tax money in the 2009-10 fiscal year to subsidize aborting children.
The pro-choice columnist ended her article by suggesting female lawyers and doctors and highly paid women in general owe their professional opportunities to birth control. Ladies, is your success due to the pill and aborting your unborn children? Maybe some women believe this, but I've never been told that by a woman.
You can choose to be a zealot for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, or you can be a zealot for death. For me and those in my home, we will be zealots for life.
Mark C. Benton is an Amarillo resident and a Randall County commissioner. He works for a general contractor.

Northern California, which lost its MLS club to Houston after the 2005 season when the San Jose Earthquakes moved to Texas and became the Dynamo, will welcome back a reincarnation of the Earthquakes for the 2008 season, according to the San Jose Mercury. The Mercury and the San Francisco Chronicle reported that MLS Commissioner Don Garber will make an announcement in Wednesday's state-of-the-league address in Denver (site of Thursday's All-Star Game) that Oakland A's owner and developer Lew Wolff has been awarded an expansion franchise. The new San Jose Earthquakes may play in Bay Area venues outside San Jose while Wolff and his partners negotiate with the city of San Jose to build a new stadium.
The previous MLS Earthquakes played in San Jose State's Spartan Stadium in 1996-2005 and lifted MLS titles in 2001 and 2003. The Houston Dynamo, with Coach Dominic Kinnearanda core of players who moved with him from San Jose, won the 2006 MLS title.
An expansion draft would be held following the 2007 season. Wolff and his partner, John Fisher, purchased a three-year option on an MLS franchise last year.
The addition of the new Earthquakes would raise the number of MLS teams to 14.
The original San Jose Earthquakes played in the North American Soccer League in 1974-1984. Another version of the club played in the Western Soccer League in 1985-1988.
When MLS launched in 1996, the San Jose club was nicknamed the Clash, before becoming the Earthquakes in 2000.

It doesn't matter your religion or what you believe, the Easter Bunny is for all of us.
As it turns out, he has absolutely nothing to do with the Christian traditions.
According to the Center for Children's Literature and Culture at the University of Florida, the origin of the celebration – and the Easter bunny – can be traced back to 13th century, when people worshiped several gods and goddesses. Eostra was the goddess of spring and fertility, and feasts were held in her honor on the Vernal Equinox. Her symbol was the rabbit because of the animal's high reproduction rate.
The first Easter bunny was documented sometime in the 1500s. By 1680, the first story about a rabbit laying eggs and hiding them in a garden was published. These legends were brought to the United States in the 1700s when German immigrants settled in Pennsylvania Dutch country.
As well, spring symbolizes new life and rebirth and eggs are an ancient symbol of fertility.
According to History.com, Easter eggs are part of the tradition more because of an American event start by President Hayes and not because of the religion.
Easter egg hunts and egg rolling are two popular egg-related traditions. In the U.S., the White House Easter Egg Roll, a race in which children push decorated, hard-boiled eggs across the White House lawn, is an annual event held the Monday after Easter. The first official White House egg roll occurred in 1878, when Rutherford B. Hayes was President. The event has no religious significance, although some people have considered egg rolling symbolic of the stone blocking Jesus' tomb being rolled away, leading to his resurrection.
But, contrary to the history and tradition, bunnies don't lay eggs, but the two have been linked as the stories are told and retold. Because of that, Cadbury took hold of the opportunity when they introduced pure cocoa chocolate eggs, creating the second largest candy sales holiday (behind Halloween).
So there you have it. You now have permission to eat chocolate and candy until your pants burst. After all, it comes around only once a year.

A friend of mine recently posted pictures of Cadbury egg cupcakes. They looked amazing. you would love them.
@KenMueller I don't know if that sounds good or way too rich.
@ginidietrich Just shared it on your wall on FB…
Gini I LOVE this article, and the history lesson! Thanks so much. Who doesn't love the Easter Bunny?
Have a great weekend and Easter if you're going on an egg hunt. Hey, does Jack Bauer get his own Easter Egg hunt?
@jennimacdonald Jack Bauer has been very naughty so he's grounded from the egg hunt this year.
@ginidietrich oh no, I bet he's so sad. This is the only way he'll learn!
@jennimacdonald It IS the only way he'll learn. It's grounded or going to the glue factory.
Have you ever tried to explain Easter to a person from a predominantly non-Christian country? I found myself saying things like "Yeah, it's about Jesus and stuff. But there's this bunny who leaves eggs and candy." It sounded completely crazy when I heard it with fresh ears!
@jeanniecw LOL!! I think I'd like you to replay that conversation for me.
G'Day Gini,
"till your pants burst" Love that. And I'll gladly plagiarise it too. At my age, I'm off to distribute lots of chocolates and candy to see if I can make it A Self Fulfilling Prophecy.
As a Catholic, I've always believed that Easter was a time of hope. "Have another Chocolate egg Gini. Pass them to Lisa too .Join the Great Easter Pants Split Experiment"
Sounds like great fun. Be a real hit on Mothers' Day too. Is this what Marcus means when he says "listen to your gut."?
Easter On!
@Leon Listen to your gut. LOL!! Happy split your pants open day!
Good Easter info, Gini!
Can I trick or treat for Easter candy? Think the neighbors will oblige?
@WordsDoneWrite I really want to know if you DID trick or treat for candy??
I have a great recipe for cooking the Easter Bunny.. We don't do egg hunts or any of that stuff here.
@TheJackB The poor rabbit! We actually had a conversation about rabbit stew yesterday. I'm glad I"m a vegetarian.
I loved the Easter retrospective…very fun… Have a wonderful Easter weekend sweet @ginidietrich
@SocialMediaDDS I hope you and Gus had a great weekend! xo
@reinventioninc Hey Kirsten. Good to see you here. I agree rabbits are all of those horrible things…except when they're mythical and leave you chocolate eggs.
I've always found interesting how the Roman Catholic Church has been built upon older religions or traditions, at least as regards Holy Days and Ceremonies. Technically though Christianity is or should be based only on the Four Gospels. Well, I don't wanna start such a debate. 🙂
I didn't knew the story behind the Easter Bunny, very interesting. Especially the part about bunnies not laying eggs. 😀 😀 😀
Happy Easter to everyone!
@Andrea H. | The Hypnotism Weekly It's VERY interesting the religion borrowed from the Gods and Goddesses. I didn't know the full story of the Easter bunny, either. I thought I was going to write something funny about the mythical creature and it turned out he has a very interesting story.
We all are pagans. The jews still had festivals for pagan gods during the time of jesus. Hanuka and christmas are totally pagan. I am sure passover has some pagan elementa. I have to find the hilarious huff post article documenting these things.
My one question is since jesus was kosher who decided bacon was ok.
As for the easter bunny this toaist pagan jew approves
@HowieSPM What is pagan about Chanukah?
@TheJackB @HowieSPM Yeah…I want to know, too.

I'm not sure what the details of this PRISM program are, but I can tell you that the only way in which Google reveals information about users are when we receive lawful, specific orders about individuals -- things like search warrants. And we continue to stand firm against any attempts to do so broadly or without genuine, individualized suspicion, and publicize the results as much as possible in our Transparency Report. Having seen much of the internals of how we do this, I can tell you that it is a point of pride, both for the company and for many of us, personally, that we stand up to governments that demand people's information.
I can also tell you that the suggestion that PRISM involved anything happening directly inside our datacenters surprised me a great deal; owing to the nature of my work at Google over the past decade, it would have been challenging -- not impossible, but definitely a major surprise -- if something like this could have been done without my ever hearing of it. And I can categorically state that nothing resembling the mass surveillance of individuals by governments within our systems has ever crossed my plate.
If it had, even if I couldn't talk about it, in all likelihood I would no longer be working at Google: the fact that we do stand up for individual users' privacy and protection, for their right to have a personal life which is not ever shared with other people without their consent, even when governments come knocking at our door with guns, is one of the two most important reasons that I am at this company: the other being a chance to build systems which fundamentally change and improve the lives of billions of people by turning the abstract power of computing into something which amplifies and expands their individual, mental life.
Whatever the NSA was doing involving the mass harvesting of information, it did not involve being on the inside of Google. And I, personally, am by now disgusted with their conduct: the national security apparatus has convinced itself and the rest of the government that the only way it can do its job is to know everything about everyone. That's not how you protect a country. We didn't fight the Cold War just so we could rebuild the Stasi ourselves.
I think that I'm going to start stressing our work in this space more. We do a lot in DC and in the courts to try to change how patents are handled in America. I think that if we spread the word a bit more, we can find people, open source people, hackers, non-googlers, who align with us and more importantly, where we align with them and work together to change things in non-geologic time.
Companies like Red Hat have been great, but it's time for citizens of the united states to realize that high costs on civilization that patent trolls, and other bad actors, have levied on american and international progress. I mean, if people really realized how much they pay on a daily basis to service BS patents, I would think they would be able to muster a formidable amount of outrage and would act.
I'd go so far as to say the average american family pays more on patent service costs on a given day than they do on electricity, but that might be slightly off, I'd need to do the math on that a bit more carefully. Not as much as they do on gas, for sure, but it's non-trivial.
For instance, Depending on which smartphone you carry, there's up to 50$ at acquisition and some monthly carry that you pay through higher costs for your carrier, app purchases and less tangibles effects like less efficient battery charging costs, time spent when your phone 'works around' patented techniques, etc..
Anyhow, like I said, I need to do the math, but I think that patents have become a kind of shadow tax on Americans that needs to be addressed and soon for the drag on the economy that it is.

Although Gateway has been in the news recently regarding the
Acer takeover,
the company is today hoping to get some exposure from an all new desktop
Apple recently released its totally revamped
all-in-one iMac and Sony countered with its own pricier VAIO LT series.
Gateway is now entering the mix with its new Gateway One.
The Gateway One is built around a 19" (1440x900) LCD
which features a prominent "chin" at the base of the display.
Surrounding the display are a plethora of inputs/outputs including three USB 2.0
ports, one Firewire port and dual memory card slots. Inside, users will find
two HDD based for expansion.
Gateway even includes an innovative power adapter which
manages to incorporate four additional USB 2.0 ports, SPDIF, optical and
network connections -- this leaves unsightly wires and cables under the desk
instead of on it collecting dust.
"Gateway One exemplifies the idea of simplicity, of
less is more," said Gateway Senior VP Gary Elsasser. "This computer
complements its environment and becomes a design element you want to show off
as much as you want to use. Because it doesn't compromise on features or
performance, it will be appreciated for its brains as well as its beauty."
The base $1,299 system will get you a Core 2 Duo T5250
processor, 320GB HDD, Intel X3100 integrated GPU, 1.3MP webcam and a slot-load
dual-layer DVD burner. $1,499 adds a 400GB HDD and an ATI Mobility Radeon HD
2600 XT GPU. Stepping up to the $1,799 model will get you a Core 2 Duo 7250
processor, 500GB HDD and an analog/digital TV tuner.
The $1,299 model and $1,799 model will be made available
exclusively at Best Buy. The $1,499 model will only be available direct from
For real-life "unboxing" pictures and commentary

Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. - I'm Ready For Nonito Donaire!
By Jhonny Gonzalez
Super bantamweight contender Wilfredo "Papito" Vazquez Jr. (21-1-1, 18KOs) is ready for the big fights and he's willing to face WBC/WBO bantamweight champ Nonito Donaire, who plans to move up to 122-pounds in early 2012. Fighting for the first time since the TKO loss to Jorge Arce, Vazquez returned to action on Saturday night in Puerto Rico and stopped Mexico's Roberto Leyva in three rounds. Vazquez has been mentioned as one of the opponents being considered for Donaire's debut at 122.
"Now I would like to face Donaire. I have a promotional group that will handle securing the big names [for me]. I tried to correct the mistakes from my last fight. I worked hard on defense, moved my body and head a lot more, and circled around with my waist. I think we saw that in the fight," Vazquez said to Ray Alazaga.
"From now on, I will pay more attention. The next move is to return to the gym. The loss [to Arce] motivated me to become more educated and more dedicated to the sport."

Toyota's nearly full-size sedan, gets its most extensive changes since it was introduced as a 1995 model, including new styling, more power and a roomier interior.
The front-wheel-drive Avalon is based on the Toyota Camry, and both are built at Toyota's Georgetown, Ky., plant. However, the Avalon was styled in the United States and is built only in Kentucky, while the Camry also is built in Japan. The Avalon is therefore classified a domestic vehicle by the federal government.
Toyota introduced the Avalon to give Camry owners a larger sedan to move up to and to draw owners of full-size cars away from domestic brands.
The 1995-99 models had plain-vanilla styling compared to the 2000 Avalon, which has a large vertical-bar grille, steeper rake to the windshield and rear window and a more dramatic rear appearance highlighted by large taillights.
Wheelbase is unchanged at 107 inches but overall length is an inch longer at 192, nearly 4 inches longer than the Camry.
Toyota says there is more shoulder room this year thanks to a 1-inch width increase and more headroom because the roof is an inch higher. The seats are relocated and the instrument panel is 4 inches further forward, adopting the cab-forward design pioneered by the Chrysler LH sedans.
Both the base XL and pricier XLS models are available with front buckets and a three-place front bench that increases seating capacity to six. Four adults have room to lounge in the Avalon, but three in either the front or back seat is still a tight fit.
The trunk holds 16 cubic feet of cargo, and a small pass-through section in the rear seatback allows carrying long objects such as skis.
Under the Hood
Avalon comes with the same 3.0-liter V-6 engine available in the Camry and standard on the Lexus ES300. In the Avalon, it produces 210 horsepower, 10 more than last year, and teams with a four-speed automatic transmission. The Avalon weighs less than 200 pounds more than V-6 Camrys, so the engine delivers similar acceleration and fuel economy in this application.
Side-impact airbags for the front seats and anti-lock brakes are standard on both models. Traction control, skid control and emergency braking assist are optional on the XLS.
Though the Avalon isn't nearly full-size on the outside, it comes pretty close on the inside, making better use of the available space than some full-size domestic sedans. It lacks excitement but is smooth, quiet, refined and well made.

Expert Reviews
Five years ago Volkswagen tried to crack the sports car market with the ill-fated Corrado. There was nothing wrong with the way the Corrado was built or how it looked or performed. The car was aces in most respects. It was the Corrado's $25,000 (and up) price tag that scared off many potential suitors. VW officials found out the hard way that few buyers are willing to spend that much on a Volkswagen - no matter how good a car it is. Instead of abandoning the high-performance market, VW withdrew after 1993 and retooled. The result is the 1995 Golf GTI VR6, a car that performs every bit as well as the old Corrado, but it's more practical, just as well-equipped and, most importantly, about $5,000 cheaper. The GTI is based on the entry-level Golf hatchback. However, it has a bigger engine, better suspension, minor trim changes and a sportier interior - and it comes fully loaded with luxury items such as a sunroof and heated seats. In other words, the GTI delivers the solid punch of the Corrado without knocking out buyers on a tight budget who are looking for a versatile hatchback. It's a winning formula for these value-conscious times. PERFORMANCE The GTI is powered by VW's delightfully spunky VR6 engine and five-speed manual transmission, basically the same setup VW used in the last versions of the Corrado. The engine delivers 0-to-60 mph acceleration in the seven-second range; top speed is 130 mph. Those sterling performance figures should be good enough to satisfy the needs of most sporting drivers. The GTI can run with such notable performers as the Ford Probe GT, also outfitted with a six-cylinder; the Toyota MR2, and the turbocharged Mitsubishi Eclipse and Eagle Talon. Unlike those sporty-looking vehicles, the VW has a squared-off and more formal appearance. If that is a bit of a turnoff for you, chances are you'll overlook the GTI's less-than-exciting styling once you fire it up and experience the car's marvelous engine. VW engineers tuned the 2.8-liter, 172-horsepower V-6 so that it delivers at least 85 percent of its power (engineers call it torque) between 2000 and 6000 rpm. That gives the engine an unusual amount of strength. For example, once or twice I inadvertently started out in the wrong gear (second or third), but the GTI proceeded with barely a strain. Revving the engine hard and shifting fast are two of the things that make driving the GTI such a blast. The engine's performance is amazingly linear. It pulls hard in all rpm ranges; you can reach 65 mph in second gear. The shifter glides smoothly into each gear, and the clutch is easy to operate. VW does not offer the GTI with an automatic transmission. Overall, our shiny black test car delivered 23.9 mpg in combined city/highway driving. HANDLING You wouldn't expect a rather dowdy-looking hatchback to be able to accelerate fast and carve up curves as well as the GT I. It turns out that that is part of the fun of driving it - no one else expects the car to perform this way, so you can catch plenty of Mustang and Camaro owners napping as you zip by. The GTI's power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering provides the driver with an excellent feel of the road. It's a system that is not too light and not too heavy; when you turn the wheel response is quick and crisp. VW says the GTI's ''Plus Axle'' front suspension tuning eliminates torque steer, a pulling to the left or right during full acceleration. But I say it doesn't eliminate it - our test car had a tendency to wander a bit to the left or right when the car sprinted away from a stoplight. That said, credit must be given to the GTI's powerful four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, which haul the car down from high speeds with absolute firmness and stability. The anti-lock system is standard equipment on the GTI. The GTI is very quiet over the road. You don't hear much from the ca 's somewhat firm four-wheel independent suspension system. Our test car was built well. The doors closed with a very solid and sturdy thunk. Also, road noise is well-muffled, giving the car the solid feel of quality. FIT AND FINISH Our test car came fully loaded. Such accessories as a power sunroof, central locking, heated seats, electric mirrors, cruise control, alloy wheels, air conditioning and rear wiper were standard. In fact, a freight charge of $390 was the only item on the window sticker that added to the car's price. Our test car sported a set of comfortable but firm cloth-covered bucket seats. The upholstery featured an eclectic array of colorful shapes that some of my passengers liked and others didn't (the seats appealed to youthful passengers). As far as I could tell in one week and 350 miles of driving, the GTI has only one shortcoming: The rear seats fold forward only about halfway. Most people who buy a hatchback expect to be able to put a bicycle or a large package in the back. But big packages don't fit well in the rear of the GTI. In fact, you can get a longer, though not taller, package in VW's midsize Passat sedan, which has rear seats that fold forward. In any case, rear passengers will find plenty of leg and foot room. Also, our test car was bolted together tightly. I heard no rattles or noises. The glossy black paint job was particularly nice. It was as smooth as wet glass. You might think $19,000 and change is a lot of money for a hatchback. However, when you compare the performance and equipment on the GTI with what you get on competitive cars, you'll see that VW has created a viable and family friendly high-performance car. Truett's tip: VW's new GTI is fast, powerful, fun to drive and built well. Think of it as a five-passenger sports car.

Producer prices in July 2011
August 18, 2011
From June to July, the Producer Price Index for finished goods rose 0.2 percent, seasonally adjusted. This advance followed a 0.4-percent decrease in June and a 0.2-percent rise in May.
In July, the advance in the finished goods index was led by prices for finished goods less foods and energy, which rose 0.4 percent. Also contributing to higher finished goods prices, the index for finished consumer foods increased 0.6 percent. By contrast, prices for finished energy goods declined 0.6 percent.
At the earlier stages of processing, prices received by manufacturers of intermediate goods moved up 0.2 percent in July, and the crude goods index declined 1.2 percent.
These data are from the BLS Producer Price Index program. To learn more, see "Producer Price Indexes — July 2011" (HTML) (PDF), news release USDL-11-1228. All producer price indexes are routinely subject to revision once, 4 months after original publication, to reflect the availability of late reports and corrections by respondents.

Its funny because without A'mare we probably wouldnt of got Melo but it will also be A'mare's contract that will prevent us from getting CP3. Not that I dont like A'mare, because I definatley do and have respect for him being the first star to come here but Melo is a better player and would rather have Melo and CP3 instead of A'mare and Melo.
Hopefully there is a way to get it done, whether they let Melo and STAT re-negotioate there contracts or they get grandfathered in, I dont know but still have hope we can get an elite PG like CP3.
Realistically we will only have enough cap space to sign minimum salary veterans, unless the new CBA includes a MLE clause, which I hear they may be doing away with. We should probably try to focus on possible options that might want to play in NY for a run at a title next year for cheap. Guys like Nene, Gasol, Jordan, etc. won't be attainable unless the cap goes up by a significant margin.
Depending on the CBA situation we really may not be able to sign CP3 unless Amare and Carmelo restructure their contracts to allow him to sign. If Deron Williams doesn't re sign in NJ and both CP3 and Williams want to be a Knick then we might be lucky enough to have a reverse bidding war to see which would one of them would sign for less. But even if we got CP3, im wondering if it would be better to be like the heat with a big 3 and a bunch of nobodys, or just stick with melo and amare and add good contributing role players with whatever cap space we may have left.
Guys relax. Even if they go hard cap, they will grandfather current contracts, which is the reason why we should be glad we have Melo now. I think we are jumping to conclusions that we won't be able to get anyone.

The 12th UNOSDP Youth Leadership Programme Begins Today in Gwangju, Republic of Korea18 August 2014
Gwangju, Republic of Korea (UNOSDP) - Today marks the beginning of the United Nations Office on Sport for Development and Peace's (UNOSDP) 12th Youth Leadership Programme (YLP). This YLP will be held in Gwangju, Republic of Korea and is organized by UNOSDP, Right to Play, and the 2015 Gwangju Summer Universiade Organizing Committee (hereinafter GUOC).

Similar to last year, the event is taking place at the Honam University and includes 33 participants originating from Australia, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, Fiji, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan, Solomon Islands, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, and Tonga.
The goal of the camp is to bring together outstanding youth who are involved with organizations that use sport for development and peace for two weeks to build friendships, share best practices, and develop leadership skills which they can use to inspire and invoke change. The camp includes facilitators from leading organisations from around the world, including the International Paralympic Committee, the International Table Tennis Federation, the International Swimming Federation (FINA), Korean Air, World Taekwondo Federation, and the English Football Association. UNAIDS will also be present for the Gwangju Camp.
An exciting element to the Gwangju YLP is the annual EPICS Form (hereinafter Forum). The Forum, which also takes place in Gwangju, is a youth mentoring programme that brings together youth leaders from around the world to contribute to building a better society by sharing ideas about Environment, Peace, IT innovation, and Culture and Sport development. Participants from the YLP are invited to take part in the one-day Forum.

Playing in its first Rose Bowl for Michigan State since 1988, the stakes were high.
As it turned out, Spartans coach Dave Warner had some stakes of his own on the game. The first-year offensive coordinator made a vow early in the season to get a tattoo if the Spartans made it Pasadena and left with a victory.
"It was in front of the team," he said, "but I'm not sure it was during a team meeting so I'm not sure who all heard it, but it was guys in the front row for sure. ...
"If we get the Rose Bowl, I'm getting it."
Junior quarterback Connor Cook explained a little bit more of the story of how the promise and the tattoo came to be.
"I remember early in the season, it was our bye week actually," he said. "It was like early in the morning getting ready for meetings, before we have a team meeting, we meet as quarterbacks and the offensive coordinator comes in, Coach Warner, and we watch tape on our opponents and game plan.
"Tommy Vento mentioned like, 'Hey, what if we win the Rose Bowl?' Coach Warner was like, 'If we win the Rose Bowl, I'm going to get a tattoo.'"
Following through on his word after the Spartans 24-20 win against Stanford, Warner got a new tattoo on his calf.
His wife, Leigh Ann, came with him when the time came to get his second tattoo.
"She had to hold my hand," he said.
Warner was not the lone Spartan to get a tattoo commemorating the Rose Bowl win. Jackson and Cook said many of the players headed to tattoo parlors to get something done to celebrate.
"It's a cool thing and something that you wanna remember and I think a lot of these tattoos come from people making deals before the season even starts," Jackson said. "If we win the Rose Bowl, let's get tattoos. It's something that represents our brotherhood and symbolizes what this football team is all about."
But was Warner the lone coach? Jackson said he thinks offensive line coach Mark Staten might have gotten something similar to Warner, while Cook said Warner is the only one he knows that did.
"I don't know if Coach (Jim) Bollman got a back tat or a lower back tattoo," Cook said with a laugh.
If the Spartans continue to take steps forward, Warner said there is the possibility of more ink being added if another big step is taken and a national title is won.
"If we take it to the next level, you never know," he said. "There's gotta be some sort of symbol of a national title game and I'm not sure what it is."
So for a win as big as the Spartans first national title since 1966, would a chest tattoo be in order?
"I wouldn't go that far," Warner said. "My chest isn't big enough."

John McAfee Expelled From Guatemala

John McAfee, founder of the anti-virus software of the same name, seems to have ended his flight from Belizean authorities who wish to question him concerning the murder of his former neighbor. According to Bloomberg news McAfee is being expelled from Guatemala for illegally entering the country. The millionaire Silicon Valley entrepreneur told Bloomberg Television's "Money Moves" that he will be boarding a flight to Miami and is QUOTE "perfectly happy with the decision". McAfee made his escape to Guatemala from his home on the Belizean island of Ambergis Caye shortly after the death of his neighbor Gregory Faull. He said he feared for his safety in the hands of Belize authorities and that he was seeking asylum in Guatemala. He chronicled his three-week escapade from Belize to Guatemala via cryptic twitter and blog posts, creating a media spectacle. However, Investigators in Belize have said that he is not a suspect in the murder case. Raphael Martinez, a spokesman for the national Belize police department, told the Mercury News it is unlikely the US will send someone to Belize merely for questioning.
