However, does anyone know if any information needs to be snail-mailed? It seems there was no address presented to me to mail paper copies of anything.
So if you have the space, you can get a bigger battery with a little bit of work.
Thanks. I just figured it out.
Too bad, it is not compatible to my car. My battery is dying.
Search is you friend
Seriously try to be original and not rip-off FP posts
So if you have the space, you can get a bigger battery with a little bit of work.
Don't know where the hell you live that you think you need 850 cca and don't really care. I live in a part of the country that gets well below freezing in the winter many times over. 500 cca is more than adequate and I don't have to mod shit. Started every time until my wife left the interior light on overnight. Doubt you got anywhere near $57 for 850 cca either.

The forecast for the most of the week doesn't offer much sunshine. Things in the Portland area are expected to be wet, gray and mild.
Look for daytime temperatures to top out in the low 50s, while overnight lows will drop into the 30s.
The National Weather Service says to expect scattered showers Monday and a light wind.
Friday is the lone bright spot in the week, with the promise of sunshine and daytime highs hitting 55 degrees.

Motorola Announces Atrix HD For AT&T, Complete With LTE
Having made a brief appearance last week on Motorola's website, the handset is now officially announced for AT&T. Unlike its predecessors, the Atrix and Atrix 2, the Atrix HD is heading to AT&T shelves complete with LTE connectivity.
The Atrix HD includes a 4.5″ 720p display, 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 8 megapixel rear camera with zero shutter lag and 1080p video recording. Pack all of that into a body measuring just 8.4mm thick with Kevlar fiber mixed with splash guard coating and you've got yourself the Atrix HD.
The Atrix HD will come out of the box with Ice Cream Sandwich, with what we hope continues their recent work to limit the amount of "skin" placed on the handset. Motorola has also included its Smart Actions app that automatically changes the devices setting to help conserve battery life. The Atrix HD also features Motorola's Circle Widget on the homescreen, presenting users with information like weather, date, notifications, battery life, data usage, settings and more all at a quick glance.
Motorola's not giving an official street date, but they have said the Atrix HD will come $99.99 when it hits AT&T's shelves. That's a pretty great price for a phone with 4G LTE connectivity and a 4.5″ 720p display. I'll be interested in getting my hands on this one.

Steiner, you are commenting to see your words in print! Really, it isnt necessary. Rape is just one of several reasons abortions are sometimes chosen. I will never need one and neither will most people - especially men - so why not make it available for those who will? I pay thousands in taxes because of my income and should. Warren Buffet, one of the wealthiest in the world, agrees our current tax laws are not fair to everyone. He is just one of the few (like myself) who believe in sharing. Steiner, you need to learn to knit or paint or something crafty that will help you relax.

"The steinertron secrets are most valuable."
How do you know? You've never monetized your gas-saving, cancer-curing steinmirage!
You must be independently wealthy to pass up a gazillion dollars. You must be the shy, unassuming type to forego Nobel Prizes and international acclaim. And what was that motive again to keep a life-saving device from families in need?
"Our steinertron, give us this day our daily bread." - - I think that should be changed to "...give us our daily meds." (I think you're off yours today.)

For all you learned posters, especially the ones concerned with sharing and paying taxes, even for DK. hey posters, what does the heisenberg uncertainty principle really say, what bothered einstein so ? ( Its time for mocks , DK).Its this, The only thing we can be certain of is uncertainty.Fact from physics, undeniable, indisputable, yet there. The libs today will say for certain, taxes, we need more of your taxes. the posters here cheerfully pay them. the libs laugh or hold you in derison all the way from the treasury and say pay more, you will for certain. You say we want to . You posters have been brainwashed by the libs and their fanatical belief in govt. you gave up your american heritage so you can be nice, caring and sharing, all feminine. i assure you posters, the liberal party is not caring and sharing. disagree with one or watch them on tv. yet you support this ? i am deluded ?

hey dk, why is cancer so mysterious ? Cuz our beloved scientists believe the cell is the unit of life. I assure you it is not. till this fact is realized, cancer will remain a mystery at heart. This will be harder than flat earth was or even global warming by co2 to dislodge. It is at the heart of all the miracles in the ancient writings. It is related to the our father, i said that, but you ignored or mocked it. Our steinertron, give us this day our daily bread.Its where schrodingers cat lives or dies. better, where christ died and lived. Its that simple when you know how dk. Now lets hear the mocks.schrodingers cat is a modern day equivalent to the puzzle of the resurrection, but you dk could never understand it I bet.

for annette, Ida tarbell, whose family oil business was destroyed by rockefeller began sharing her thoughts via writing in newspapers.gals are from venus with communication and verbal skills. Hey libs, the libs could not make the plantation work with free labor and cotton , renewable too. john d, using oil becomes super wealthy. I love john d. I love ida tarbell as a mistake in history. caring and sharing her thoughts, she gets std oil broken up. john d says asks his priest, got some money ? Buy stock. The value quadrupled. ida felt better, she goofed something up.this is hegelian at its heart, more delusions as dk would say. there are NO gal philosphers = hegel, Kant and the influence they have and had on thought. But annette, you keep on sharing. I invent. you share. you gals dont know the staggering importance of thought. But thats ok by me.

hey annette, a slogan in the 1940 war years had people singing, like you ! i am building the war machine like rockefeller ! yes rockefeller. I have paid my income taxes. Yes, paying taxes was now considered a good thing. The whole of american history is the opposite. the libs as marcia posted, made everyone think alike. Marcia did not see anything wrong with that. Its called brainwashing. The gals will fall for it , with rare exception. Caring, sharing and nurture. This last sentence right from a gal philosopher herself. you gals dont even know your own limitations do you ? your own default settings . The guys know theirs. How is it you gals dont know yours . Or think that yours is the right way ? It aint.

hey dk, you must be learning challenged. Or what i see on tv , books, business journals are wrong. Darn near everything we take for granted was done by a man.At the foundation, which you , again dont seem to understand. Multidimensional is delusional ? then so was heisenberg , einstein and bohr. Some of the greatest minds in physics. you miss that, again and again. It is you who are learning disabled. but since it took me 35 years to crack the secret , i forgive you. tesla, einstein and bohr or even zoroaster upon seeing the machines and after some reflection would say , in awe, i might add, steiner you are a genius. thats what physics is all about. dk says, i am deluded.you dont understand dk, as most or all of the posters here, what the greatest minds the physicists are syaing. You are operating after the photon interaction in the 2 slit. I, being multidimensional operate before the photon interaction, pure heisenberg, where schrodingers cat lives/dies. i am deluded dk ? how ?

hey annette, i really dont believe in sharing. thats a gal thing. i am for legalized prostitution. very few abortions are due to rapes. Paying thousands in taxes ? The govt people think of you as a sucker, pure and simple.dk, multi dimensional description got you confused ? hmm, you really dont understand quantum physics do you. Join the LWV. The machines are of course 3 dimensional. But the magic part and it is magic for what they do is this. Their primary operation resides from, arises from the world of heisenberg uncertainty. I have said this numerous times and you miss it every time. Heisenberg uncertainty is a BIG thing in physics. It lead to heated discussions between einstein and Bohr.Bohr was adamant. He was right. So when you understand that part, you understand how the steinertrons work. even the big bang theory has mentioned this for laughs. But all it gets are laughs. Build machimnes that operate in this realm and you will see, no more laughs.

hey dk and annette, the chemistry world is loaded with carcinogens.if the chemical aint carcinogenic or hydrogenated, it usually aint the best. all of the stuff we take for granted or nearly all starts with carcinogens. I can see why gals stay way from it. But then they complain they dont make the money guys do.the money is in the carcinogens. Who could not love a carcinogen ? I love them. . They are more useful than liberals. Annette, govt leaders since the inception of the income tax said it was ok to seek all legal means to avoid paying taxes. even democrats said this. It was great that the wall street bankers paid no income tax in the 30's. Show them libs what armies of lawyers and accountants can do.of course it took away from actual business, but thats another matter.it was all legal.

P S. Steiner, dont cry for me Im a very happy woman who loves people and who pays thousands of dollars in taxes every year. I believe in sharing but not enabling those who are lazy. I am a registered Republican. By the way, when was the last time you were raped and needed an abortion?
2 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Steiner, how could the commentary possibly relate to abortion rights? I dont doubt you know history - living it has more of an influence than just reading about it. You, however, almost always conclude the topic at hand is the fault - or atleast exacerbated by women or liberals. You are bright but too rigid. You could do more good if you took a different approach. Go to your lab or drawing board and invent one, please.

DKexpat, every state has ways of picking up revenue. NYS is not alone in its model.
I am not sure on this but I bet there are alot of surprise taxes out there that people are unaware of unless you live in that state.
I mean if you have 2 $25,000 cars in Virginia your paying $1300.00 more then we pay in NYS. Our property taxes may be higher but to meet costs the state and local governments have to raise the money some how.

bulldog10 – you're right: it's the "Personal Property (Vehicle) Tax - 4.2% - on all vehicles domiciled in VA.
Fortunately, the legislature passed the Tax Relief Act in 1998, which lets each county set "relief" for the first $20k of value of cars in its jurisdiction. (It comes to about a 50% discount on the first $20k.)
I did the calculations for my county: Ex. 1 - car worth $10k = $209/yr Ex. 2 – car worth $20k = $412 Ex. 3 – car worth $25k = $638 Ex. 4 – car worth $50k = $1,688
You pay half every six months, and get a decal that goes next to the inspection sticker on your windshield. Get pulled over for no or an expired decal = $100 fine.
I don't like it because it costs me beaucoup bucks for my two cars, but it is a true "consumption" tax: All drivers pay the same price for gas and tolls, but if you have a $50k car you'll pay more for driving in luxury...

I believe its called the personal property car tax. Could you give everyone here in NYS an example of how it works. Say you own 2 $25,000 vehicles. How much tax would you pay per year?

GRAND RAPIDS -- Once barely more than a pipe dream, Peter Secchia's idea of bringing the NCAA men's basketball tournament to Grand Rapids was unexpectedly kicked into action last spring.
As the noted West Michigan businessman and former U.S. Ambassador to Italy left Ford Field after watching his beloved Michigan State Spartans lose in the national championship game, he found the bright light from a television camera shoved in his face.
The second question from the Grand Rapids TV crew: "Where do we go from here?"
"We take this, go forward and try to get an NCAA tournament bid for Grand Rapids," Secchia said Tuesday, recalling an off-the-cuff conversation, spurred by the emotion of seeing "75,000 fans" in the streets outside Ford Field.
For it to actually happen, though, the founder of the West Michigan Sports Commission needed a school other than Michigan State to host the event, since host schools can't play at their own site.
Western Michigan University, through its standing relationship with MSU and Spartans athletics director Mark Hollis, quickly became a willing partner.
The idea: Michigan State likely gets to play close to home, Grand Rapids sees a financial boom for a weekend and WMU has its name associated with the NCAA men's basketball tournament.
All three entities saw it as an idea worth pursuing. Now, all that's needed is the NCAA to see the same merit in having two rounds of its premier event at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids.
In early September, WMU will find out if there are any legs to its bid to host first- and- second-round NCAA tournament games -- or a regional, though unlikely -- in either 2011, '12 or '13, in conjunction with the West Michigan Sports Commission.
"It really wasn't something we couldn't look at very favorably and not get involved with," said WMU director of athletics Kathy Beauregard, who recently worked with Hollis to put together WMU's football series with MSU. "... Who wouldn't want to be involved with the NCAA men's basketball tournament?"
WMU most recently hosted an NCAA hockey regional at Van Andel, but, Beauregard said, "Very honestly, this is a whole nother level of commitment."
WMU has been assured by Michigan State that it will provide staffing help, especially if the weekend conflicts with postseason play for the Broncos men's basketball program.
The idea of playing a neutral site game between WMU and MSU at Van Andel prior to the tournament has not been discussed, Beauregard said.
As for the odds of landing the NCAA tournament, Secchia, who's serving as the co-chair on the organizing committee attempting to lure the event, says Grand Rapids has some features that other regular hosts don't.
"We all go to Dayton, see a lousy section of downtown and drive 30 minutes to our hotel," Secchia said. "Really, there is no downtown life. Grand Rapids excels at the student experience ... community fervor, downtown crowds."
Working against Grand Rapids, however, is the size of Van Andel and a few airport issues.
"It's big enough, but it's just big enough," Secchia said of Van Andel, which can barely fit the minimum requirement of 12,138 seats, before adding that he believes it's better to have a full 12,000-seat arena instead of a half-full 20,000-seat venue.
There are also concerns, he said, about the number of direct flights and how mid-March weather issues could impact an airport of Grand Rapids' size.
Doug Small, president of the Grand Rapids/Kent County Convention and Visitors Bureau, helped recruit regionals to Dayton and Syracuse in previous jobs.
"As far as fan experience, Grand Rapids is a better setup than Dayton and Syracuse. In Grand Rapids, you walk out of the arena and you have the downtown area and all its eating and drinking establishments looking at you in the face. You don't have that in Dayton and Syracuse, which have larger arenas."

Sens. Lieberman, Udall, Gillibrand: Court Decision Killing DADT Would Be 'Disruptive To Our Troops'
A new statement from Sens. Joe Lieberman, Mark Udall, and Kirsten Gillibrand presses the Senate to "act immediately" to repeal Don't Ask Don't tell, lest those pesky courts make the Pentagon's decisions for them: "a federal judge may do so unilaterally in a way that is disruptive to our troops and ongoing military efforts." Now we all know these senators want DADT dead, but now they've just gone and sided with President Obama that it is the lawsuits that are actually harming the military.
I thought the military was all about preparedness. They know they may get an adverse ruling in the courts. They should prepare for it.
I understand what these senators (all of them allies on DADT) are trying to do. But I don't agree they are siding with Obama. The President is the one defending the law in court, not these senators.Nov 9, 2010 at 2:41 pm · @Reply ·
Obama has adovocated for an orderly repeal to DADT and I have supported that position, with the caveat that he should have issued a stop loss order preventing gays from being discharged until the survey was completed.
Well now is the time that rapid action needs to be taken. Obama should relaase the report even if it is in a "final draft" state, and by now it is since the release date is Dec 1, 2010. If nothing else, release the raw numbers of how each question was answered, we know the questions so the results would be pretty clear.
The polls say that 70% of the American population supports the repeal, however the far right has announced that they will block or try to block the repeal legislation attached to the Defense Authorization bill. This must be done in the lame duck session which begins Nov, 15 goes for a week, then a thanksgiving break and returns Nov 29.
Releasing the results on Nov 15 will give us, the voting Americans, access to the results when our senators and representatives come home for the breaks and over the holidays. We will have a method and venue to get the truth before the deep pocket spin doctors try and whip up more hatred against LGBT people.
Releasing the report early is the smartest and most effective act that Obama can take to ensure the DADT passes in the lame duck session. It is the best option we have to get something that looks like equality for our service men and women and advance the rest of our drive to be treated as EQUAL Americans instead of second class trash.
Please everyone contact your representatives, the white house and any media outlet urging for an early release of the report.
You "don't agree" that they're siding with Obama? It's an objective fact. They're siding with Obama. They've said so.
Um no the statement doesn't indicate any agreement that lawsuits are harming the military. It's saying better for repeal to happen through legislation and an orderly process where Obama, Gates, and Mullen sign off on it. As opposed to a court ruling that could essentially say "just do it".
Releasing the slaves was disruptive to the South, giving women the vote was disruptive to the political process, integrating the military was disruptive.
Civil Rights are not supposed to only be granted when they don't upset bigots. A civil right is a civil right.
@spindoc: Releasing the slaves was brought about by the Emancipation Clause and the passage of the reconstruction amendments, all of which were passed via the Congress. Women got the right to vote by passing the 19th amendment via the Congress and the states. In both cases it wasn't a Supreme Court decision that took the big leap, but rather dysfunctional Congress. So with this in mind, I'm assuming the first part of your comment was an attempt at satire, and possibly irony.
We have already gotten a glimpse of what happens via the court route on DADT, one week the policy is overturned, the next week a federal court stays the injunction. One week the army announces that gays can start to enlist, but issues a clauses letting them know that it can change at any minute. The next week DADT is back in effect. It's a mess, and while it gets done faster it is messy and uncertain. If you pass the bill through Congress, it's done and over for sure.
As a Coloradan, I can say SENATOR UDALL FAIL.
@mikenola: Stop loss is already in effect the way the GOP worded DADT it does not effect being discharged under DADT. But congress has until they go on recess and I will support the orderly process through then. Pressure needs to be put on Sen. Levin to have the audacity to do what they set out to do. DADT repeal was put on a collision course with the defense appropriations bill to ensure its passage, or risk harming the military. The Dems need to stand up hold strong and force the GOP to let three or four senators support the bill or risk harming the entire force. The president has spoken that the repeal should remain in the bill, it is time for the Democrats in the U.S. Senate to stand up for their principals instead of fear of being the first defense committee chairman to not pass an appropriations bill in 50 years. This is a time of first, and the GOP didn't blink an eye to being the first to say no to everything at the peril of the entire country.
Lieberman is one of the top neo-Cons in the Senate blatantly gunning for a War with Iran, and he's perfectly willing to allow gays and lesbians to be used as cannon fodder to "liberate" that country if they so desire.
If you think they're going to do this in the lame duck session, you're deluded. The only reason they even tried to do it was to quell LGBT criticism of the administration by rigging the vote so it would fail, blaming it on the Republicans, and then saying "oh well, we tried, you'll have to give us money and votes for another 10 years until we can try again."
They're only feeling pressure now because it's a Republican gay group (ironically enough) that's pushing this issue to the fore in the courts. With each appeal, the administration is forced to make ever more bigoted arguments to favor continuation of the policy, so these Democrats are essentially saying "let's take the heat off the prez by passing this repeal."
Of course, the repeal isn't on the docket, none of the GOP senators who agreed to vote against a filibuster have heard about a vote, and the Democrats eliminated the DADT repeal from the defense bill. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the likely outcome — "we just ran out of time and unfortunately couldn't get it done in the lame duck session."

BLACKMAN TWP., MI — A 31-year-old woman received minor injuries after losing control of her silver Ford Explorer and rolling it multiple times on Interstate 94 on Tuesday evening, July 2.
About 5:20 p.m. Blackman-Leoni Township Department of Public Safety officers were dispatched to westbound I-94 just before the Elm Avenue entrance ramp for a rollover accident.
Blackman-Leoni Sgt. Scott Grajewski said witnesses told officers the woman was driving at a high rate of speed, lost control of her vehicle and rolled it multiple times, landing upside down.
The vehicle sustained substantial damage and needed to be removed by a tow truck.
Grajewski said alcohol did not seem to be a factor.
Officers closed the left lane on I-94 westbound and allowed vehicles to drive through on the right shoulder.
Traffic was backed up, but Grajewski said both lanes would reopen soon once the vehicle was removed from the scene.
Jackson Community Ambulance responded to the scene, but the woman refused treatment, police said.

Willy, thank you so much! You are so sweet! I am still on the hunt to match your other photo. There is a street number on one of the buildings, but there are no building there anymore. So it is off to the historical society to see what I can discover! When I do find it, you will be the first to know, my friend! Cheers from California! Deb
You should have seen me on the side of the road taking the photos! I was so excited, grinning from ear to ear, jumping up and down... a large group of motorcyclists drove by and were laughing and pointing at me... it was pure joy... and a beautiful day also! It is difficult to express what fun that was! Now here we are on Google Earth together... how grand is that! :-) Deb

Welcome Skarlett, glad you found MDA and wish you happy success on your primal journey. It's so cool that your hubby and kids are on board as well. Best wishes, Annieh.
Hi all!!
I'm a full time working mother of two. My hubby(35), me(30) and our two kids(10 & 7) have started on our primal journey this week. My job includes a lot of desk work but also it includes time on the water and climbing gangways.When I'm not working, Im running the kids to school or off to after school activities, doing the homework with them...and in my spare time(oh the irony!!) I play rollerderby but I think you get the picture I'm constantly on the go,quick and easy meals were the norm but were usually loaded with carbs. Hubby and I decided to go primal for multiple reasons, my own reasons include after being on medication since I was 4y/o for an "invisible disease". These medications have known side effects which include slowing of the mebatolism therefore I have been overweight a majority of my life and have tried almost every diet known to man, yes some worked but only temporarily. Another side effect is depression and suicidal tendancies after a few unpleasant occurrances in my life in the past six months there was talk of having to being medicated for depression. I just want to be fit, healthy and happy!!! A girl I do derby with is one primal chick and has being so helpful and informative, she is actually the one that pointed me in this direction to the Daily Apple I mean.My hubby has just finished building a house for a primal couple and this is how he first heard about the primal lifestyle. I have been reading so much info ~ Mark's PB, I also have The Paleo Solution as well as multiple cookbooks to look through but at the end of the day I would love to hear from others on the some path.
Wow, that's a bit longwinded hope I didnt put anyone to sleep. Anyway, Grok on!!
Welcome Skarlett, glad you found MDA and wish you happy success on your primal journey. It's so cool that your hubby and kids are on board as well. Best wishes, Annieh.

Android Distribution Charts Updated, Android 4.0 On 23% Of Devices
Ah yes, it's that time of the month again. As an Android blogger, we see Google update the Android distribution charts every month. This month is like every other, with some number that seem just about right. Android 4.0 is currently sitting at 23% of all Android devices – a small bump from August's 20.8% of devices. Jelly Bean also made a very minor bump, moving up to 1.8% from August's 1.2%.
As for the other numbers, Gingerbread had a decline to 55.5% of numbers, and held steady at 12.9%. Rounding things off, Android 2.1 had 3.4% of devices, while Android 1.6 and 1.5 had 0.4% and 0.1%, respectively. Finally, Honeycomb variants had a combined 1.9% of devices.
There's nothing surprising here, but it's still disappointing to see how dominant Android 2.3 is on devices, considering it's almost 2 years old now. Android manufacturers are finally getting around to updating handsets to Android 4.0, but it's still sad considering the amount of time it has been out.

With one complicated heart surgery under his belt, Blankenship felt like he didn't have much of a choice, considering his doctors said he was too weak and, at 71, too old for a heart transplant.
"The only other option was to suck pills for three months and not wake up one morning," he said.
Three weeks ago, Morristown Memorial Hospital became the first nontransplant medical facility in the nation to use the HeartMate II device to prolong the life of a patient who had literally run out of options. And Blankenship was the hospital's first patient to benefit from a breakthrough that stands to help thousands of people every year.
Heart surgeons have been using HeartMate II for about two years but only for patients waiting for an organ transplant, according to the California-based Thoratec Corp., which manufactures the device. On Jan. 20, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the device for long- term use on people too old or sick for a transplant.
Five days later, Morristown's Gagnon Cardiovascular Institute's surgical team implanted the 2-pound pump below Blankenship's heart. With the left chamber pumping blood again, breathing is easier and he's starting to walk again.
"I feel like I have been given another chance," said Blankenship, bright-eyed and feisty as he sat in a chair in his hospital room Monday.
"It was his decision, but we encouraged him to do it. The alternatives weren't great," said Blankenship's daughter, Melissa Conklin, the mother of a 10-month-old son and a 21/2-year-old daughter. "It would give him time for my children to get to know him."
Donor hearts reach about 2,000 patients each year, "compared to the 250,000 patients who have no viable treatment option and are considered at high risk for repeated hospitalizations, severely diminished quality of life and limited life expectancy," Thoratec spokeswoman Susan Benton Russell said.
The first recipients of Heart-Mate II received the device five years ago when it was still being clinically tested and are still alive today, said Frank W. Smart, chairman of cardiovascular medicine at the Gagnon center.
The device consists of a small blood pump implanted below the left side of the heart. An electrical cable that powers the pump extends through the patient's skin to a battery-operated device that is stored in a small bag or "fanny-pack" worn around the waist.
The battery may last 10 to 12 hours, depending on how active a patient is, and can be recharged with most adapters, said Barbara Lee-Grasso, a nurse practitioner who works with advance-stage heart patients awaiting medical implants. Blankenship is doing so well that Lee-Grasso asked him yesterday if he would consider meeting with other heart patients in the hospital to discuss the device and surgery.
"I'll do whatever I can," Blankenship said.
Smart called the device "a great step forward" and "a great tool for the right patients in places that have a commitment to do it."

ok i checked my grades today and found out i got 5 A's and 2 B's instead of my projected 6 A's and a B. now, theres actually two questions i have...
1) should i contest my B in AP U.S. History becuase I know its a lie. the reason being that i had a 97 at quarter and i kno i didnt do bad on my teacher's tests n projects. BUT shes freaking retired so should i go to my school's administration?
2) with that second B it brings my overal GPA to a 3.78 (yes very low) however, even if i had only gotten one B my GPA would only be 3.80.
my soph/junior would be 3.79/3.83 is the .02/.03 worth contesting? or should i just forget about it.
btw as im typing this im thinking some pretty malicious thoughts on my teacher. ok thnx
|By Welshie (Welshie) on Monday, June 21, 2004 - 07:31 pm: Edit
If you KNOW that you had a 97 and it shouldn't have dropped to a B, then sure, go ahead and contest it. If you THINK you should have an A but aren't really all that certain, you might be better off taking the B. Either way though, the one extra B isn't going to hurt you at all.
|By Keng1 (Keng1) on Monday, June 21, 2004 - 07:52 pm: Edit
no i kno i should have an A but thats =not really the point. even if i kno myself i can not really contact my teacher. that old hag retired so wut i have to do is to go talk to the administration? n my guess is that they wont want anything to do with it.
|By Welshie (Welshie) on Monday, June 21, 2004 - 08:04 pm: Edit
You'd be surprised at how much the administration would do. I know a kid here got a B, an honest B, in Honors Chemistry, took a summer Chem class at Berkeley, got an A there, came back to the school, complained to the administration and had his grade changed-- completely undercut the teacher.
|By Keng1 (Keng1) on Monday, June 21, 2004 - 08:25 pm: Edit
i mean i guess its worth a shot bcuz i truly believe i got an A...97 to a solid B not even B+ is a bit extreme. do u suggest i go in with parents?
|By Rbc13 (Rbc13) on Monday, June 21, 2004 - 09:23 pm: Edit
I had almost the exact situation two years ago, after my freshman year. I got my report card, and lookee here, a B in third quarter and a B on the final for Choir. Completely shocked me, my first B since 4th grade. She was new, and graded us on participation and attendence. Had just come in for the second semester, because something happened to the old teacher. I was the only male in a class of 19 females, just thought i'd throw that out there. Anyways, the final was graded on singing one group song, and she said she'd give us all A's.
And when i tried to reach her(or should I say my mother), she had apparently disappeared, and left no trace behind. So my mom casualy told this story to someone at the school, and they mailed me a report card with A's for the 4th Q and the final within 10 days. No questions asked. Maybe it was because they checked with other students report cards in that class, didn't want to check into the issue, were having a good day, looked at my other grades(see my profile if you want to), or were nice, and believed my story. I'm not complaining.
The point here is that you should call, or maybe your parents would be better, as the person may be more intimidated, and not want to argue with them. DEFINITELY try to do something about it! Or at least let them(Counselor maybe?) look at your final if you think you should have gotten an A. Or have them check other students, maybe everybody had A's or everyone had B's, and the school could fix the issue. What im wondering, what was your 4th Q grade, because if it's an A then you only need something like a C on the final, and you would have a better case. If you know your grade is wrong, then either do something, or have your parents. Each grade matters, who knows, maybe if you have a 3.80 or higher you get a certain award and scholarship. Or just try to think of some way to prove that you deserve an A. Good luck.

The Wilmington region is the home of Whiteface Mountain, New York state's Olympic mountain, where the alpine events for the 1980 Olympic Winter Games were held.
The Whiteface Mountain Ski Center, operated by the New York State Olympic Regional Development Authority (ORDA), features a vertical drop of 3,430 feet (greatest in the East) and more than 200 skiable acres on this high peak.
The extremely quick Cloudsplitter Gondola takes seven and a half minutes from the base to the top of Little Whiteface.
Article Photos
The "Face Lift," which is a high-speed quad chair lift, will carry skiers and boarders a total of 6,300 feet in about 6 minutes.
The snowboarding terrain park is on Parkway trail, and there's a superpipe just below it on Bear trail. Whiteface grooms the FIS-approved 450-foot pipe with a Zaugg Pipe Monster. It's a mountain for the whole family, since Whiteface is a great place for even the littlest to learn.
There are classes for all skill levels, both skiing and snowboarding.
Currently operated by the Olympic Regional Development Authority, the Whiteface Mountain Ski Center first opened in 1957.

Graphic explains a rip current
Officials with the Prince Edward Island National Park issued a statement Sunday stating that surf conditions in the park continue to be dangerous and are warning people not to go into the water.
Surf conditions have been dangerous for the past several days and with the heavy surf come rip currents that can turn deadly for swimmers.
Rip currents form when waves break near the shoreline, piling up water between the breaking waves and the beach. One of the ways this water returns to sea is to form a rip current, a narrow stream of water moving swiftly away from shore.
The danger is when swimmers become trapped in the rapid current and are swept offshore. Swimmers are advised not to panic, but to remain calm and swim parallel to shore to get out of the current. Once they are free of the current they can swim back to shore.

We are watching the significance of the election of Obama as the 44th President of the United States of America unfold in the lives of people from all walks of life.
By the REV. WARREN J. SAVAGE
During Black History Month, we have an opportunity to reflect upon the legacy of African Americans who have dedicated their lives in the long hard-fought battle for freedom and civil rights. We pay tribute to the many ancestors and warriors who always believed that there were better days ahead for those who were enslaved and not good enough to be called human.
We give thanks for the courageous example and countless achievements of African American men and women who valued love of family, faith in God, community organization, hard work, and education as the foundation for human progress.
On Nov. 4, 2008, Barack Obama was the first African American elected to serve as President of the United States. His election was seen as a the pinnacle of the Civil Rights Movement.
In this defining moment, Obama became the human symbol of a new beginning, a new era of hope and possibilities for African Americans.
This incredible historical event is still being absorbed by millions of people all over the world.
We are watching the significance of the election of Obama as the 44th President of the United States of America unfold in the lives of people from all walks of life.
While African Americans have a particular reason to be proud of the person holding the highest office in the land, President Obama is the President of all the people.
When I step back and reflect upon what Obama's achievement can teach me and others I think about the power of human relationships.
Obama was able to achieve his goal because of the support of others especially his mother and extended family.
He knew that he could never progress in life without a coalition of support, a network of people from all walks of life, cultures, ethnic groups, faith traditions and social conditions.
Obama learned in the early years of his life that success comes when people come together around a common vision for the progress and development of all peoples.
I see Obama as a work in progress.
I see a person who is always doing his "inner work."
He is constantly engaged in the enterprise of self-understanding.
He is someone who tries to remember his roots, his heritage, and where he has come from.
He is deeply aware of the fact that he is a person who lives in two worlds, one black, and the other white.
He learned how to merge these two worlds and found his own voice in the midst of all the other competing voices around him that attempted to define and control his destiny.
Obama is his own person and he will have to work harder to remain true to himself, true to his innate wisdom.
When I listen to Obama, I am in awe of his first-class intellect.
He is a deep thinker, a reflective person who looks at reality from many perspectives.
A transformational leader is someone who knows who he or she is; someone who has the ability to see and think at many levels; someone who can clearly articulate a vision.
A transformational leader is able to see into the future and not be afraid to take a calculated risk to bring the future into the present moment.
In this light, Obama is a model leader-teacher for children, teenagers, young adults, and adults.
He is a person who can teach us how to be people of principle and integrity in life; he can show us how to lead from within a deep sense of self-understanding.
During his campaign, Obama talked much about hope, courage, and change.
He was often challenged by his critics to move beyond the fancy rhetoric and be more concrete about what he meant by hope, courage, and change.
People cannot live and progress in life on words alone.
Yes, words can inspire us and move us beyond fear and despair, but words alone without action can disappoint and make people more cynical.
It is important to remember that hope is a human agent.
We see courage in the mothers and fathers, the surrogate parents and guardians who love and care for their children; who teach them to respect themselves and others.
We see hope every morning walk into the elementary schools, the middle schools, the junior high schools, and high schools to teach students from all walks of life how to read and write.
We see change every day when people of all races, cultures, faith traditions, political philosophies, social backgrounds, and ways of life work together for the common good of all.
Black History Month is a special time for educators to remind students of all colors not to waste their education and to use this time to learn as much as possible about people of other races and cultures.
Black History Month is a important month to remind African American students in particular that President Barack Obama did not become president solely on his good looks.
Our president is a powerful symbol of what is possible when they become the hope, the courage, and the change that is deep within their minds and hearts.
Our African American students as well as all students need to know that they are the ones we are waiting for to make this world a better place for all people.

analog or PWM inputs for LED brightness transitions. The ALD6 has six outputs
and each provide up to 50mA of constant-current drive to strings of LEDs
connected in series and/or parallel configurations for backlighting LCD
displays. For a single-string LED configuration, the combined output current is
The ALD6 drivers operate with an input voltage of
from 10.8 to 13.2V dc and provide an output voltage of 25V to 38V dc. The single
package drivers are available in either DIP or SMD packages that measure about 23
x 21 mm.
Other features include a Remote On/Off input and an
LED Open Alarm that changes state if the drive current to any powered LED-string
develop an open circuit. These drivers are convection cooled and designed to
operate in ambient temperatures ranging from -30 up to +80C. The ALD6 can
provide 0 to 100 percent brightness control when an external PWM signal is
provided. The brightness will vary directly with the duty cycle of the PWM
signal. A combination of external analog or resistive and PWM dimming controls
can be accommodated.
The ALD6 Series are useful for backlighting LCD displays,
panels used in vending machines, industrial touch screens, POS terminals and
programmable controllers.

After reading The Jersey Journal the other day about a political appointment here in Jersey City, I thought of General MacArthur and his famous speech to the cadets at West Point.
"Old soldiers never die, they just fade away."
Well I got to thinking about Jersey City and Hudson County (HAZARD COUNTY) and I realized if he came to speak here in Jersey City, he would probably say something like this:
"Here in Hudson County and Jersey City especially, old politicians do not go away, they just get recycled and come back in different positions."

Castillo underwent an examination on Thursday to inspect his two injured feet, and the team believes he will recover if granted enough time to rest. Tejada will replace him until he returns and center fielder Angel Pagan will move into the second spot in the batting order. But Tejada will get a shot.
"I'd just like to see what we got," Manuel said.
Meanwhile, catcher Omir Santos occupied Gary Matthews Jr.'s old locker before the game began. Matthews lost the starting center-field competition to Pagan and was ineffective as a pinch-hitter (batting .190 overall). So he was designated for assignment to make room for Santos, who was catching in Double-A Binghamton.
But why did the team need Santos? Because catcher Henry Blanco is "a little banged up," Manuel said.
Where is he injured?
"Body," Manuel said.
"He's just a little banged up," Manuel continued. "I wouldn't want to get into the specifics because it might tend to give away some of this great strategy that I have with him, you know?"
The team plans to sort out the catching situation over the next few games. That might mean a DL-stint for Blanco.
So right now, Jason Bay will be the team's emergency center fielder, should Pagan leave the field. Backup Chris Carter would move to left, in that case. Bay mentioned that he played some center during the World Baseball Classic.
Speaking of center field . . .
Carlos Beltran batted six times as a designated hitter in an extended spring training game in Port St. Lucie. He hit two singles, but did not run the bases.
A Mets spokesman said that Beltran didn't do anything "crazy." The spokesman also said that these were still not considering "full baseball activities." Beltran still has to play the field, make cuts in the outfield, run the bases, etc.
But Manuel was willing to – tentatively – punch the clock on Beltran's return, which is supposed to take four-to-six weeks once he begins full activities:
"I do think there has to be an evaluation the day after, to see how he feels," he said. "Whether he can continue on the same pace or progress that he's still making. Once he starts playing and running the bases . . . I think you have to still put 'limited.' But at the same time, we're getting closer to him going in and off the field in the outfield."
Jonathon Niese will retake the mound, rejoin the roster and reclaim a roster spot on Saturday, when he starts against the Marlins. But Manuel did not tip his hand about who the club will demote in Niese's place. He explained there are a variety of names still being discussed, including reliever Jenrry Mejia.
The team is still in the process of trying to convince former starter Oliver Perez to accept a minor-league assignment.
"I have no indication as far as that part of the issue goes," Manuel said. "But we will activate Jonathon Niese. What is that subsequent move at this time, we don't know yet."
The lineups, with R.A. Dickey (2-0, 2.84 ERA) facing Anibal Sanchez (5-2, 2.89 ERA):

2. Angel Pagan, CF

08:26 AMThe Connecticut Story
East Haven's Maturo, Giordano, Perez Make HuffPo's List of 24 'Embarrassing Officials'
Arnold Gold/New Haven Register
William Illingworth, left, commissioner on the board of the East Haven Police Department, Joseph Zullo, center, Maturo co-campaign manager, and East Haven Mayor Joseph Maturo Jr. celebrate as election results for the mayoral race are announced at Maturo headquarters in East Haven Tuesday night.
East Haven Mayor Joseph Maturo Jr., a Republican, may have been embraced by voters Tuesday for an unprecedented seventh term—but that victory hasn't served to cleanse his reputation. Today he showed up on the Huffington Post's list of "24 U.S. Mayors Who Prove We're Also Better Than Canada At Electing Embarrassing Officials."
Maturo is joined on the list by two other former Connecticut municipal officials—Philip Giordano of Waterbury and Eddie Perez of Hartford.
Here's what the Huffington Post had to say about them:
5. Joseph Maturo (R) -- In 2012, the East Haven, Conn., mayor countered claims that he didn't care about the Latino community by saying he "might have tacos when I go home." Maturo resisted calls to resign.
6. Philip Giordano (R) -- Over a period of nearly a year between 2000 and 2001, the then-Waterbury, Conn., mayor paid a prostitute to bring him young girls -- including the woman's own daughters -- for sex. He was ultimately sentenced to 37 years in prison. (shown at left)
15. Eddie Perez (D) -- The Hartford, Conn., mayor was arrested on charges of bribery and corruption two separate times in 2009. He later resigned after being convicted on five corruption charges, including bribery and attempted extortion.

Perhaps Pennsylvania's new tourist slogan should be "state of independence — where you can get whoopie pie and as much soda as you want."
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's announcement to crack down on the sale of large sugary drinks in the Big Apple has sure brought out the bottled-up rage at government bureaucracy. The first reaction of many is, why is the government dictating our diets?
If we want to eat supersize meals or bacon sundaes at Burger King or the infamous double-down sandwich at KFC or a burger sandwiched between two doughnuts like they serve at some baseball parks, who's to tell us no?
It's our money, our bodies and our lives. No one likes to be told what to do, especially by politicians and government entities that have made their own fair share of poor choices.
But then you look around at how many people you know are trying to lose 5, 10 or even 50 pounds.
Or you look at the alarming national obesity statistics that confirm what most of us know already: A third of Americans are obese, and about a fifth of children are overweight. This is to say nothing of the health complications and expenses that mount as the number on the scale gets higher.
In our increasingly health-conscious society, the risks are pretty clear. It shouldn't come as a great surprise that one of these supersize offerings could provide more than half of the daily recommended sodium and fat in a single sandwich.
Soda is only one factor in this overindulgence epidemic, just like fast food, chips, cookies and sugary iced coffees.
But the truth is that while many of us know we should eat in moderation, we don't. And as much as we laugh about the latest gargantuan burger or sundae, someone is buying them.
It is going to take more than self-control to get Americans' waistlines and health back to where they should be. Bloomberg's initiative isn't ideal, but something has to change.

What is MLS? Here is My Bizarre Fantasy Version
Assuming you agree with the above assertions, MLS seems stuck in a vicious cycle, right? It might also be the reason for so much blogger-on-blogger violence in the MLS sphere. So let's see if there is any way out of this conundrum.
Let's say that for now, the issue of the soft cap and designated players is immovable. How do you generate a better on-field product in order to entice more fans to the league?
This might put me on the business end of a very detailed flaming post, but why doesn't MLS consider a radical move: a wholesale ideological change in direction away from purchasing "ready-made" talent, either overseas or within the league, and toward investment in superb managerial and coaching staff? The move would be coupled with player development above and beyond the current academy and Generation Adidas college draft scheme, like strengthening administrative ties with USSF development academy clubs, as well as restarting the reserve league (Canada's player development set-up is so outmoded it requires its own post. In the mean time, listen to ICF's interview with CIS coach Pat Nearing and the SAAC's Gary Miller).
In other words, why not take MLS to the wild extreme of its original mandate? Why not lower the current salary cap across the board while increasing rookie wages, as Ben Knight once suggested, and allow owners to invest not in DPs but top line managerial and coaching talent, at the league and academy levels? Why not kill off the draft system altogether, and allow managers to compete with one another in negotiating with college and USSF academy players directly?
Sure, we might lose a lot of very good players in search of higher wages elsewhere. Good on the league; it might raise its overseas profile beyond the borders of Craven Cottage. Let's transform MLS into a European farm league, hell let's even encourage a European/MLS partnership, investment in player development in return for first rights to players when they reach a certain age.
My fantasy would be to have a league of up-and-coming eighteen, nineteen, and twenty year-olds, selected from a healthy and interconnected youth academy system, in administrative tandem with both a (reformed) CSA and USSF, coached by young, top level managers wanting a move away from the South American or European spotlight, free to experiment with formations and training techniques without the traditional repercussions of a top-heavy relegation/promotion system. Free, attacking football, young, mistake-prone, yes, but also open, new, and equal. A league where North American soccer fans can go to spot global talent in its infancy before hopefully striking out for Europe or elsewhere. A league where young managers can prove themselves before making a bigger move down the line.
Since we're likely to keep supporting our clubs no matter what, what is there to lose? It won't ever happen, and no one will go for it, and it the owners would likely balk at the prospect, but I think it would be kinda cool, even if it would mean bye-bye TFC as we know it.

Your MLS: Bizarre Fantasy Version is definitely interesting. I'd watch it. Seriously.
But I think it would mean giving up on exposure in the US media. Plus if it's all youngsters and inexperienced managers then you'd risk MLS losing what credibility it has overseas, so European clubs might be less inclined to pick up players or managers from A More Splendid MLS than they are from the current version.

Well Said.
I agree for the most part. The MLS has an awfuly hard task of having to balance the Business of Soccer (aka make some money for the owners that have been around a while) and developing young American talent for which the league was originally created for (FIFA mandated for the '94 Cup).
The problem as I see it is while Soccer is definitely on a high in North America, how much of a short term focus do you take in order to take advantage of such a high. Do you ignore the market niche that MLS has found this summer and completely focus on the long term? Absolutely not. But if the player development system isn't fixed (and I mean fixed, not tinkered with) then I think MLS strays from its duty to the USSF in the sense of developing American players.
The MLS as a whole needs to redefine its mission statement in its business plan. Come up with a good balance focused on increasing revenue and American soccer talent. If I were Garber right now, I would be focusuing on modeling as many franchises after Toronto, LA, Seattle, and Real Salt Lake.
There are so many dimensions and solutions, but one thing the MLS needs above all is time. The MLS will never be the EPL, La Liga, Serie A, or Bundesliga (at least not in my childrens lifetime - and I'm only 20). American soccer fans must accept this and embrace their own league before unnecessary is pumped into the league to bring in aging stars that will only cause hype for a matter of days.

I'm afraid I agree with Rob. MLS will never be on par with euro leagues. It's a cultural thing. MLS has to compete with three other pro sports that are WAY older and embedded in US culture. Euro leagues don't have to compete with anything like that, as footy is already ingrained and has been for so many years.
Seattle is bringing in 30K fans, which is totally impressive. What more do we want? If other teams can manage that it would be pretty amazing. But I think retaining and attracting great talent is more than being able to pay on par. It comes down to players striving their entire life to play in Bundes or Premier, etc. That's the destination. Once they make it there, they know they made it in soccer. MLS will never have that cache anytime soon due to lack of history.
However, one thing that does bug me about MLS is that I can't understand for the life of me why there isn't a full blown promotion/relegation system in place across all leagues. That would help to bump up the quality.

Press Release
Forbes Votes to Extend Homebuyer Tax Credits
Washington, D.C., November 5, 2009
Contact: Jessica Mancari (202) 225-6365
Congressman J. Randy Forbes (VA-04) today voted in favor of H.R. 3548 to extend the $8,000 first-time homebuyer tax credits to April 30, 2010. The credits were scheduled to expire on November 30 of this year. According to the Joint Committee on Taxation, the bill is revenue neutral and paid for through a number of offsets.
"The first-time homebuyer tax credit has not only helped potential buyers move into their first homes, but it has served as a practical way to energize the housing market, triggering home sales that would not have happened otherwise. Extending the homebuyer tax credit will continue to encourage a healthy real estate market that results in new construction and a boost in consumer confidence. It is a solution that relies on investment, not deficit spending, to help build our economy," said Forbes.
The bill would extend the $8,000 credit for first-time homebuyers who enter a sales contract by April 30, 2010, and close within 60 days. The bill would allow individuals to claim the tax credit for purchases in 2010 on their 2009 tax returns, meaning the credit would be received quickly. In addition, the bill added a $6,500 credit for current homeowners, as long as they have lived in their current homes for five consecutive years. The bill also raised the qualifying income cap from $75,000 for individuals and $150,000 for married couples, to $125,000 and $225,000, respectively. Homes more expensive than $800,000 do not qualify.
In addition, the bill extends the homebuyer tax credit deadline for service members on duty overseas to April 2011. Congressman Forbes introduced the Bring Assistance to Heroes (BAH) Act earlier this year to extend the 2009 first-time homebuyer tax credit for one year to any service member that has served on extended duty overseas during the first 11 months of 2009. A bill mirroring Forbes' legislation passed the House in October.
H.R. 3548 passed the House of Representatives today with a vote of 403-12. To read more about Congressman Forbes' work on issues related to the economy, click here.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- 2014 is beginning the way 2013 ended in Northeast Ohio, with snow.
Northeast Ohio is under a winter weather advisory until 1 a.m. Friday. Expect 2 to 4 inches of snow today, with the snowfall becoming heavier tonight. 6-8 inches could be on ground by Thursday night. Areas around Ashtabula and northwestern Pennsylvania could see 8-10 inches.
The storm will bring strong winds, with gusts up to 35 MPH, reducing visibility to zero at times in the blowing and drifting snow. Wind chills could reach into the single digits by Thursday.
The high temperature today will be 26 degrees. By Friday, the high will dip down into the teens.
The winter weather we're seeing is part of two storms that are on path to merge into a major snowstorm from the upper part of the mid-Atlantic to southern New England Thursday into Friday.
"The storms will not organize fast enough to make the perfect storm, but it will cause a significant amount of snow to fall over a large area," AccuWeather.com Chief Operating Officer Evan Myers said.
Deicing operations will put some airlines behind schedule. Aircraft and crews may not be where they are supposed to be, even if the weather is clear.
The storm is forecast to bring a large area of 6- to 12-inch snowfall from northeastern Pennsylvania to a large part of New Jersey and southeastern New York state to southern New England. This includes the entire metropolitan area of New York City and Long Island, northward to Albany, N.Y., and Scranton, Pa. Over a foot of snow will fall in localized areas of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut and the cities of Providence, R.I., and Boston.

Chris Brown might have sworn off interviews by the likes of 60 Minutes and Good Morning America, but that didn't stop the "Don't Wake Me Up" singer from allowing Ron English to interview him at their Dum English toy launch.
In this exclusive interview, Ron spoke with the R&B Pop star about what it takes to become such a successful artist, how he remains so driven and creative, and his work with art and music video directing. Brown opens up in more depth about his childhood and how his Mother would always push him to stay busy.

M: It's just an adjustment phase, honey. It won't be like this forever. We've added a whole 'nother human being to our lives. Other than subtracting a human being, that's surely the biggest adjustment a family could ever make, right?
A: Oh, yeah, I know it's an adjustment phase.
M: Well, I guess I just have to keep reminding myself of that more than anyone else. Sometimes I get panicky thinkin' it's gonna be like this forever.
A: Nah, it won't be like this forever. (Reaches over and holds my hand.) Another 17 years and 10 months. (Pause) And then we'll be back to normal again, just like that. (Snaps.)
But I'm fine y'all. Seriously! We're all fine. I don't mean to worry you. I just mean to share the ups and downs and ins and outs and the humanity (OH THE HUMANITY) and the vulnerability and, well, the temporary insanity of our lives right now. If I got on here every day and told you everything was hunky dorey, easy peasy, peachy keen, you'd know for sure I was shoveling you some, uh, MANURE, right?
And you'd also start to wonder what or who you might find dissolving in some 50 gallon drums in my basement. (Ooops! Too macabre? Well, it IS October!)
I firmly believe you'd have to be crazy not to be a little crazy in this particular stage of parenting.
So if you're worryin' about the residents of FriedOkra Manor, rest easy. We're 100% all good.
What? You want proof?
Okay then.
See? All Good!
(But thank y'all for praying for us and giving us so much empathy and love lately. What a huge blessing you are on our lives right now!)

Thursday will mark my final regular season game against the Nuggets in Denver. It should be another one of those nights just to take it all in, and think about how much has changed over time.
This being my final season in the NBA is definitely something that has taken some time to get used to. I've done this since I was a six-year old kid, and have been fortunate enough to do it well professionally for almost 20 years. I've always understood that I wouldn't be able to play forever, and that there's much more to life for me to experience after I'm done being a basketball player. I'm not afraid of the future in that regard. It's something that I'm very realistic about.
But one thing that has happened this season made me think a little more about the end. My good friend and former teammate Kobe Bryant suffered a knee injury shortly after he returned from his absence with an Achilles tear. Seeing him go down — almost like a kindred spirit — reminded me that at some point, I'm not going to be able to play.
I've rarely assumed that there would always be more games, and more chances to do something special. I've always kind of approached playing the game and being around the game as though this could be it every time I stepped out there. I've always had that mentality.
Still, Kobe's injury really put me in a tough place emotionally — not only because he is a friend, but also because it was an example of just how fragile this business really is, and how quickly your career can change. Things like that can happen, and just like that, you might not be the same.
It was a tough couple of days to kind of process that. But I'm better with it now. I know he'll be fine. He'll be great when he comes back.
There's definitely something different about playing in the high altitude in Denver than other places. The science behind it and altitude training have proven as much. But I think it's also a mindset. When you're going into a setting where you're going to play a game on Thursday and you get there on Wednesday, there's not much you can do other than to prepare yourself mentally for feeling the difference.
One thing that I've always tried to do in Denver: If we don't have practice the day before, I try to push myself harder than I normally would when we have shootaround the morning of the game, and in our pre-game warmups. That way, when the game starts, it's not as difficult to push through it. Your heart and lungs have experienced what that feels like because you've already pushed yourself.
Denver and the Nuggets franchise are very different now from the first time I got the opportunity to play there in my rookie year. During my second stint with the Lakers, we played Denver in the playoffs twice. The Western Conference Finals series we played with them in 2009 was a really competitive series. We had some pretty good matchups with those guys over the years.
Back then, their head coach was George Karl, and he's one of the best to ever coach in our game. He won a ton of games with a lot of teams, coached teams that went to the Finals, and made several playoff runs. Over the years, he and I have gotten as close as possible for a coach and player who never worked together.
I spent some time with his son, Coby Karl, when he was on our team in LA for a couple different stints. Coby and I got close, and we still stay in contact. I got closer to George because of my friendship with Coby. It's well documented that both George and Coby battled cancer and survived. That also brought us closer. George was always very supportive of me and my family situation with my daughter, so I returned that same support and love as he was going through his experience. I'll always have a tremendous amount of respect for him.
Now their head coach is Brian Shaw, who was a teammate of mine in Los Angeles during my first run with the Lakers, and an assistant coach under Phil Jackson during my second stint. I'm extremely happy for Brian. It's a well-deserved opportunity for him. I feel blessed and fortunate to still be a player now, going back to play against a team with a head coach that I used to play with. It's a fantastic reminder of how full circle my career has come, and how many different things I've been able to see and experience over my time in the league.

Once located off the beaten path down on Second Street and Park Avenue, owner Caren Rankin has set up shop at 120 Washington St., sharing the space with Karen Nason's Hoboken Hothouse, which offers an array of beautiful plants in an assortment of sizes and colors.
Both stores will celebrate with a grand opening party from 6 to 9 tonight.
Rankin has a degree in fashion merchandising, and after being laid off from her previous job in the spring of 2008, she decided to take her love for interior design to the next level by opening her own store. Her impeccable taste and sophisticated style are reflected in each item she hand-selects to sell -- from throw pillows, votive holders and water pitchers to glasses, one-of-a-kind-vintage mirrors, pictures and pieces of furniture.
Quantity is also limited on most items making your purchase in many ways one-of-a- kind.
"I sell a mixture of old and new, whatever appeals to my eye I sell or if I know people are looking for something," Rankin said. "The vintage/unique items in the store I buy at auctions mostly, occasionally if I am traveling I hit an estate sale if there is one around."
Rankin is also a dealer of Merida Meridian natural fiber rugs and has samples in the shop for customers to choose from for quotes.
The store also offers free gifting wrapping and delivery to all customers except on larger items.
