|Kevin Garnett downplays 'last All-Star Game' comment
|02.15.13 at 3:22 pm ET
For the first time since he declared this weekend's NBA All-Star Game would be his last, Celtics star Kevin Garnett addressed the comments during his Media Day session (available via the NBA's live stream here).
"I took the question as if somebody was asking me about next year," said Garnett prior to his 15th All-Star Game appearance, "and I had no insight into saying that I was going to be a definite All-Star, so it came out like I'm saying, 'This is my last,' but I'm not an egotistical guy or none of that, and I wasn't going to just say, 'Yeah, I'm going to be an All-Star, so I'm going to be here next year.' To be honest, I'm more than grateful to be here. I'm obviously honored and humbled to be here with this great class of guys, and I wasn't going to make a comment that I felt like was out of hand — to say that next year I would be here, because next year no one knows. That's where those contents came from."
He was asked again.
"Every year you make this, it's not something that you take for granted," he said. "That's all I'm saying. Some guys go a whole career and never get a chance to obviously experience an All-Star event, and I'm more than grateful. You know what I'm saying? I wasn't going to be in a position to where I was speaking on next year and my production next year and what it is. I have no idea, so that's where those contents mainly came from."
And again.
|Doc Rivers on D&C: 'We need players'
|at 10:24 am ET
Celtics coach Doc Rivers joined Dennis & Callahan on Friday morning, as the NBA heads into All-Star Weekend, and talked about the team's need to bolster the lineup.
The Celtics are looking for help following season-ending injuries to Rajon Rondo, Jared Sullinger and Leandro Barbosa.
"Danny [Ainge] and I, we thought about it and we all have been thinking about it since all the injuries," Rivers said. "With the last one with Barbosa, now we can't look at one position anymore. That's what we were looking at — looking at size first, then a guard. Now we're looking at players. We need players. We need to pick up a couple of players as soon as we can get them. That's what basically we're doing.
"But we don't want to do anything so quick that somebody else comes available and then we don't have room because we're at the cap threshold. We have to be very careful in what we do."
Asked what kind of player would help most right away, Rivers said: "I would say a ball-handling guard. It's no longer a point guard, it's just a guard. If I had my perfect guard for this group right now, it would be a guard that can play multiple positions and that can shoot, that has some toughness.
"And then you need a big. You're not going to find a center, so a 4. Obviously a 5 would be great, but a 4 that can stretch the floor. Or a 4 that can rebound, just a great rebounding 4 that has skills.
"That's the list. There's so many places to look. The China league ends in a week. So now some of the American players that are playing over there will begin coming back over to our league. The D-League. And then obviously through a trade. We don't have a lot of assets to trade, so we have to be very careful there."
Added Rivers: "We're just looking for the best available player now. Obviously it would be great to have a shooter, one more shooter for us. Then we need a big that can rebound and defend."
|Did Kevin Garnett just announce his retirement?
|02.13.13 at 11:14 pm ET
Asked how he'll approach this weekend's NBA All-Star Game, especially after playing an exhausting 102 minutes in his last four games, Celtics superstar Kevin Garnett took everybody by surprise when he mentioned mid-sentence that his 15th appearance would be his last.
"For it being my last," said Garnett, "I got my family coming down."
Wait, what?
"This is definitely my last All-Star Game," he repeated.
Garnett has two years and $23.5 million remaining on his contract after this season, and considering he was voted a starter at age 36, what's to stop him from making the roster in either of his next two seasons?
"Y'all don't know what I know," he said. "So, let's put it like this: I'm more than grateful for going, but I'm not going to act like I've got more All-Star Games in me, so I'm actually going to enjoy this one with some friends and family."
Despite signing a three-year extension with the Celtics this past offseason, Garnett repeatedly has dropped hints that any season could be his last, but this is the first time this year he's alluded to it so clearly.
|Fast Break: Celtics win ugly entering All-Star break
|at 10:00 pm ET
Thanks to another all-out effort by the few healthy players left on the roster, the Celtics outlasted the visiting Bulls 71-69 to win ugly, earning their eighth victory in nine tries since the first of the injury dominoes fell two weeks ago.
The Celtics (28-24) equaled their highest point above .500 as four C's reached double digits, led remarkably by Brandon Bass (14 points, 9 rebounds). Kevin Garnett (12 points, 11 rebounds) and Paul Pierce (8-6-6) scored the C's final nine points as they held off a Chicago charge to close the final quarter.
The Celtics' 19 combined points in the second and third quarters marked the team's lowest point total in consecutive quarters of a game during the shot clock era, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Likewise, their 71 total points was the third-lowest point total in a C's victory since the inception of the shot clock.
Defense: The Celtics held the Bulls to 15 points in the first quarter and 13 in the third. Chicago's five starters — Luol Deng (4-10 FG), Carlos Boozer (5-14 FG), Joakim Noah (3-8 FG), Richard Hamilton (1-6 FG) and Nate Robinson (2-7) — shot a combined 33.3 percent. It's a good thing, because the C's actually shot worse until …
Heart beats: As they've done since the injuries to Rajon Rondo, Jared Sullinger and Leandro Barbosa, the Celtics never quit. Playing their third game in four nights, shooting miserably and trailing by as many as seven in the first few minutes of the final quarter, the C's found life. Capped by back-to-back buckets from Jason Terry (12 points) and Jeff Green (8 points) off the bench — both assisted by Garnett — the Celtics put together a 12-0 run, holding the Bulls scoreless for a stretch of 5:44 midway through the fourth quarter and capturing a 59-54 lead.
Bass finishing: In desperate need of offensive help, the Celtics found an unlikely hero. Beginning to emerge from a season-long funk, Bass scored his highest total (14) since Nov. 28. He also grabbed more rebounds (9) than he has since Nov. 25. Bass and Garnett combined for 26 points and 20 rebounds, forming a formidable frontcourt that limited a sizable advantage by the bigger Bulls, who got 27 rebounds from Joakim Noah and Carlos Boozer.
|Barbosa officially done for season with torn ACL
|02.12.13 at 4:02 pm ET
Multiple reports indicate that Celtics guard Leandro Barbosa is officially done for the season after suffering a torn left ACL in Monday's loss to the Bobcats in Charlotte. Barbosa went down with the injury in the third quarter of Monday's game and had to be carried off the court. (After the game, teammate Kevin Garnett told the media that Barbosa was going to be sidelined for the rest of the year.) The 30-year-old reserve was averaging 5.2 points and 1.4 assists in 41 games with the Celtics this season.
(UPDATE, 4:51 p.m. The Celtics have issued a statement that reads in part: "The Boston Celtics announced today that guard Leandro Barbosa underwent an MRI this morning at New England Baptist Hospital after his left knee injury last night against the Charlotte Bobcats. The MRI revealed that Barbosa suffered a torn ACL in his left knee. No surgery date has been scheduled and he will be out for the remainder of the season.")

|Jason Terry: 'My gut tells me to keep shooting'
|02.10.13 at 10:43 pm ET
Jason Terry hit the go-ahead three-pointer with 1:33 remaining in triple overtime to leave the Celtics to a 118-114 win over the Denver Nuggets Sunday night at TD Garden. The Celtics won their seventh straight with a thrilling victory while ending Denver's nine game winning streak.
After missing six straight threes, Terry wasn't about to turn down another chance at coming through for his team. He took a pass from Paul Pierce and hit a triple with 1:33 left in triple-overtime to give the Celtics a lead they would not relinquish.
'Well shooters shoot, and the looks they were giving me were great ones," Terry said. "I've got to admit, JaVale McGee is a huge target to shoot over, so a lot of those shots were over him and they were short but my instinct, my gut tells me to keep shooting. Paul Pierce did a hell of a job drawing defenders all night long and I just knew if I got a clean, clean look uncontested, I was going to knock it down.'
Pierce said after the game that Terry promised he would make his next 3-point attempt.
"No question. I told him and whoever else wanted to listen ' that's just my motto, that's how I've been," Terry said. "In a game like that it's just so mentally draining ' you have to stay into it. Defensively we continued to get stops but not only was Paul Pierce's shot tremendous but I thought Kevin Garnett I mean, the man's 50-years old. For him to make those shots that he made when we direly needed them was tremendous for us.'
As for his steal at the end of the third overtime on Andre Miller, a play Pierce called the "biggest" of the game, Terry said right place, right time.
'That was just individual defense," Terry said. "Mano-a-mano. I know Andre, we came in at the same time together. Many battles. He wants to get right, he got right. I cut him off, he exposed the ball, I got the strip, and I was able to knock it out.'
|Donny Marshall on M&M: Celtics 'more mentally healthy' without Rajon Rondo
|02.08.13 at 12:35 pm ET
Donny Marshall of CSNNE joined Mut & Merloni to talk about the state of the Celtics without Rajon Rondo and why he thinks Kevin Garnett, not Rondo, is the team's true leader.
Marshall said he thought the third quarter of the Celtics' win over the Lakers on Thursday night was the best he's seen the C's play in a long time.
"They looked perfect," Marshall said. "It was one of those situations, at least in my opinion, where it wasn't just the bad Lakers, but it was the great Celtics. We've seen this team play really well, but the other teams are just so horrendous that me, you and Lou could get out there and play with them '¦ Last night I really think it was the product of the Celtics playing great."
Marshall said he doesn't think the Celtics are a better team overall without Rondo, but that his absence is allowing them a change of perspective that's helped them.
"It seems like they needed to be more mentally healthy, and it looks like that's what they are right now," Marshall said. "I don't want to make it sound like Rondo is '¦ by no means is he a Dwight Howard that's going to screw things up just because it's all about him, going to purposely screw the mechanism up of Doc [Rivers'] machine there. But sometimes when we're young and have success early we can't stay out of our own way, and I think Rondo kind of ran into that a little bit. He really is a great player, but there's more than just being a great player when it comes to basketball."
Following are more highlights from the conversation. To hear the interview, go to the Mut & Merloni audio on demand page.
On Rondo's leadership: "You can't go in the locker room and alienate your teammates. I don't know if he's doing that or not, but it seems like that locker room is much healthier. You can't go on the court and say, 'I'll handle the ball, get out of the way, I'll make you better.'
"There would be situations where Ray Allen would be in position to make a move one-on-one, and Rondo would run over to him and grab the ball from him and say, 'Get to the corner, I'm going to run the play.' This team doesn't have that guy right now, and they're playing so free. Their spacing is amazing, which helps their ball movement. It's just incredible to see, for a team that doesn't really have that one guy that stands out to you over this streak, it's really amazing."

The Xbox One and PlayStation 4 have changed the meaning of what a gaming console can do. But before there were consoles that could stream TV, record gameplay and respond to human voices, there were machines like the Super Nintendo and Sega Dreamcast that offered stellar game libraries and laid the groundwork for today's consoles.
Best of all, you can still buy these machines. Whether you want to relive your favorite games or finally discover ones you missed, here are 10 classic consoles you will love.
Sega's swan song in the console world, the short-lived Dreamcast was ahead of its time. In 1999, the small, white box launched as Sega's sixth console generation, delivering online play and crisp 3D graphics before the Sony PS2, Microsoft Xbox and Nintendo GameCube entered the market. Dreamcast controllers have their own screens with the system's unique VMU memory cards, allowing you to play mini games or gain a tactical advantage. And when it comes to fun, classics like "Shenmue," "Crazy Taxi" and "Sonic Adventure" are still just as enjoyable today.

While Nintendo's new Wii U console is known for its unique controller and motion-sensing capability, the Super Nintendo is known for one thing: games. This 16-bit powerhouse is responsible for shaping the tastes of many '90s gamers, whether they preferred exploring dungeons in "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past" or soaring through space in "Star Fox." And while you can play "Mario Kart" on just about any Nintendo system, there's something special about cruising down the tastefully pixelated Rainbow Road in its original incarnation.

Atari enthusiasts might have the fondest memories of the Atari 2600, but it's the 7800 (released in 1986) that has the widest range of classic 2D games. The 7800 is a sleeker version of the Atari consoles that came before it, packing the ability to play Atari 2600 favorites like "Joust" and "Q*Bert," as well as more visually rich Atari 7800 titles, like "Alien Brigade" and "Midnight Mutants." Owning any Atari console means owning a true piece of gaming history, and many of its games are still one heck of a good time.

The original Magnavox Odyssey pioneered the home video game console in 1972, and its 1978 sequel was an improvement in every way. The Odyssey 2 is one of the few consoles to sport a built-in keyboard, which made a nice complement to the system's educational games. The ancient Odyssey 2 won't wow your kids, but it's worth dusting off just to experience quirky titles like Pac-Man clone "K.C. Krazy Chase" and board-game/video-game hybrid "Quest for the Rings."

The Sega Saturn was ultimately eclipsed by the Sony PlayStation and Nintendo 64 in the states, but that doesn't mean it didn't leave a legacy of great games. This 32-bit powerhouse made way for well-loved adventure romps like "Guardian Heroes" and "Panzer Dragoon," and had arcade-perfect ports of quarter-suckers like "Virtua Cop" and "Virtua Fighter 2." Sega currently makes games for just about every platform out there, but many of the company's highlights are on the Saturn.

This 32-bit handheld device hosted legendary role-playing games (RPGs) like "Golden Sun" and "Fire Emblem," and evolved classic Nintendo franchises with "Metroid Fusion" and "Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire." This pocket-size console plays Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance titles, so consider it your gateway into a good chunk of Nintendo's handheld history.

If you're a fighting-game fanatic, you simply cannot beat a lineup that includes the "King of Fighters," "Samurai Shodown," "Fatal Fury" and "Art of Fighting" franchises. The Neo Geo launched at an infamously expensive $649, but you can get the new "Neo Geo X" re-release with 20 preloaded games for less than $200.

Clairvoyant Observations of Reiki
The last twenty years the healing form named Reiki has been spreading rapidly.
There are good reasons for its popularity: during some short courses you'll get the initiations, symbols and simple instructions that are necessary to practice this gentle form of healing, or even teach it others. After the initiation all you need to do is placing your hands on a person, animal, plant, etc. Your hands will then send out healing energy, usually experienced as warmth.
Now what exactly is Reiki?
It is the Japanese name for universal life-force, also known as Ki or Chi, the subtle energy which enlivens all beings. So in itself Reiki is nothing special. We instinctively put our hands on an injured body part; mothers will kiss or put their hand on a sore body part of their children; animals lick their wounds. These are all forms of natural Reiki: sending energy and loving attention to a place that needs to be healed.
For greater, more effective healing however it is very useful to pass on a more powerful beam of energy, and this is where the healing form Reiki comes in.
The mysterious thing in Reiki courses is the attunement process.
This is a short ceremony in which the Reiki master/teacher acts as a channel to lift up your spiritual frequency, what enables you to open up much more for universal light energy.
Reiki masters of course know and feel that they are executing a sacred process, but nobody knows what is actually happening during an initiation; something magical is happening on the spiritual, non-physical plane.
And therefore I decided to ask a clairvoyant colleague with more than 30 years experience, and working both with Reiki and mesmerism, after her insights.
This beautiful woman explained me that the Reiki energy enters the body of the master/teacher at the chakra at the base of the skull, just above the neck. Through this chakra the divine cosmic energy streams through and connects with our physical existence. A connection between heaven and earth is made through emerald green colored energy.
As a result the first etheric layer of both the initiator and the one who gets initiated become open. This first etheric layer is our egg-shell; it can be seen as a thin grey line against a white background (try it by putting your hand above a white sheet of paper). Opening your egg-shell means that you truly open up for the other person, no longer holding back or defending yourself, or regarding yourself as a separate being.
Both the auric fields of the initiator and the initiated one become bigger. The Reiki energy rolls in like waves from the skull chakra of the master into both auric fields.
My clairvoyant colleague next told me what she sees during Reiki healings:
The first etheric layer of the healer and healee become open, their auric fields become bigger and merge. Both auric fields beautifully come together in some sort of womb form. The healer takes the role of compassionate universal mother and has a great sense of "we (the healer and higher forces) are allowed to give, to grant", where the healee like the universal child feels "I may have, receive, enjoy this."
Again the Reiki energy comes in waves through the skull chakra of the healer; first it is green and later on the energy changes into cobalt blue. The Reiki spreads through both auric fields, enabling the healer to sense what healing is needed and where to place his hands, and then the energy goes to the places that need healing.
And herewith the following quote from A Course in Miracles becomes very logical:
"When I am healed, I am not healed alone."
By giving a Reiki treatment the healer him/herself receives healing too since the energy first passes through the body of the healer, and through merging of the auric fields the healer and healee for a short time become one.
The universe works in wondrous and simple ways.

The company's Performance Hub offering enables customers to place corporate IT resources near large user populations in data centers connected to many networks and clouds.[2]
The company has its headquarters in Redwood City, California, United States.[3] Equinix reported 2015 revenues of $2.73 billion and is the leading global colocation data center by market share.[4][5]
Equinix was founded in 1998 by Al Avery and Jay Adelson, two facilities managers at Digital Equipment Corporation. The founders believed that existing data centers would not be sufficient to support the rapid growth of the Internet and saw the opportunity to deploy data centers on a much larger scale to support this growth. In an interview, Adelson recalled that the early Internet was "run by cowboys. … It just wasn't hardened, it wasn't commercialized. And for those of us that cared, we knew that a company like Equinix would need to exist. Somebody would have to be the steward of all this infrastructure."[6]
Equinix extended its operations in 2012, when it announced partnerships to enter the Dubai, UAE and Jakarta, Indonesia, markets.[7]
Early in 2015, Equinix opened five new data centers on four continents, which increased the company's global data center footprint to more than 10 million square feet and was billed by the company as a significant expansion of its interconnection capacity.[8]
Also in 2015, Equinix converted to a real estate investment trust (REIT) in a move to gain tax advantages and enhance shareholder value by offering a regular dividend.[9] In addition, Equinix acquired the professional services company Nimbo in 2015 as part of a broader effort to develop its professional services business to assist customers in planning and executing their data center migrations and advancing their network and hybrid cloud strategies.[10]
Equinix announced at the end of May 2015 that it would acquire the British company TelecityGroup.[11]
In November 2015, the European Commission cleared the Equinix offer to acquire Telecity.[12] In January 2016, Equinix announced that it had completed the acquisition of TelecityGroup plc in a transaction valued at approximately $3.8 billion (£2.6 billion). The addition of TelecityGroup's 40+ data centers more than doubled Equinix's capacity in Europe, fortifying its position as the largest retail colocation provider in the region. The acquisition expanded the company's interconnection platform in key European markets. It also added critical network and cloud density in order to better serve enterprise customers who viewed interconnection as a core IT design principle and were increasingly moving to highly interconnected, global data centers to accelerate business performance and innovation. The European Commission cleared the deal after Equinix agreed to sell eight of its data centers around Europe to Digital Realty Trust for US$874million.[13]
ALOG data centers of Brazil[edit]
In 2014, Equinix completed the acquisition of the Brazilian company ALOG Data Center of Brazil S.A. for $225 million. Equinix had acquired a 53% stake in ALOG in 2011. By completing the acquisition of ALOG, Brazil's leading provider of carrier-neutral data centers, Equinix increased its presence in Latin America.[14]
In March 2015, ALOG changed its name to Equinix, completing the merger of the brands.[15]
Data centers[edit]
International Business Exchanges[edit]
Chairman Peter Van Camp describes Equinix International Business Exchanges (IBXs) as "international airports where passengers from many different airlines make connections to get to their final destinations".[16] Equinix CEO Steve M. Smith said the interconnection available within his company's broad data center footprint enables organizations to distribute IT closer to employees, customers and markets without having to build and manage the needed connectivity themselves. "We spend a lot of capital to build these facilities and companies take advantage of it."[17] Equinix IBXs peer IP traffic to over 90% of the world's Internet routes. Their Internet Exchanges (IXs) route Internet traffic between over 1,000 telecommunications networks worldwide.[18][19]
Cloud adoption has been consistently hindered by worries about data security.[20] Equinix has worked to address those concerns by creating the Equinix Cloud Exchange, which allows organizations to directly connect to cloud providers inside its data centers, rather than through connections established on the public Internet. Equinix describes the Cloud Exchange as a way to make the cloud "elastic," citing the exchange's ability to interconnect businesses to multiple cloud providers on-demand and simultaneously, which the company claims enables new efficiency and reduces complexity.[1][21]
Data center expansion in Brazil[edit]
In 2013, Equinix, still under the name of ALOG Data Centers of Brazil, launched its second data center in Rio de Janeiro and the fourth in the country. The initial investment was R$40 million (BRL), and the new data center was the only one in the city to have Tier III certification. The data center had a projected area of 15,000 square meters for container data centers and antenna installer.[22]
In 2014, the data center in Tamboré (SP) was the first in Brazil to install a new cooling technology that takes advantage of free cooling, used nine precision air conditioning units, and was estimated to reduce the infrastructure energy costs by 30% to 60%.[23]
In 2015, Equinix doubled the capacity of its second data center in Rio de Janeiro with a $40 million investment in the second phase of construction.[24]

Domaine Leflaive Macon Verze
Sku: 18869
Mention Domaine Leflaive estate to anyone in the wine business and watch their eyes light up. It is the most famous estate in Puligny-Montrachet and also one of the largest. Its holdings span an enviable 58 acres, of which approximately 43 are divided amongst Puligny's finest premier crus: Les Combettes, Les Folatieres, Les Clavoillon and Les Pucelles; and 14 spread across five Grand Crus: Montrachet, Chevalier-Montrachet, Batard-Montrachet and Bienvenues-Batard-Montrachet.
Under the direction of Anne-Claude Leflaive, the co-manager since 1990, the vineyards are farmed biodynamically and the wines are made in a traditional fashion. The grapes are harvested and sorted by hand and after pressing, the juice settles for ~ 24 hours before it is racked into oak casks. The wines age for 12 months in 25% new oak casks, (generally 2/3 from Allier and 1/3 from Vosges) after which they are transferred to steel tanks where it rests for a second winter. The wines are lightly fined before bottling.
Since the 2004 vintage, the Domaine has been producing Macon-Verze from a 23 acre vineyard they purchased there in the heart of the Maconnais. "What we want to do is offer wines that are fine and more accessible, while continuing to work with Chardonnay in a vineyard that is geographically close, explains Anne-Claude Leflaive. The vines are over 25 years old and are also being cultivated 100% biodynamically.
Domaine Leflaive is widely regarded as the preeminent producer of white Burgundy. The wines are built to age and are simply superb, combining richness and depth with elegance, refinement and balance.

XPO Logistics said the sale of its truckload operations includes approximately 3,000 tractors, 7,500 trailers and 29 facilities it acquired in its October 2015 purchase of Con-way Inc., and proceeds will be used to pay down debt.
The less-than-truckload carrier reported a net income of $85.6 million on revenues of $782.6 million for the third quarter of 2016, year-over-year increases of 1.4 percent and 0.4 percent, respectively.
Ocean freight rate benchmarking platform Xeneta said transpacific rates have been gradually rising since April, stripping out the short-term impact of Hanjin Shipping's insolvency in late August.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
Historically low ocean freight rates have caused carriers to implement cost-cutting measures that have reduced reliability, meaning shippers need to be more flexible in how they procure capacity.
Assets related to the South Korean shipping company's services to the United States will be put up for sale as soon as tomorrow, multiple press reports said Thursday.
Two German shipping companies that owned and operated the cargo vessel Nils B have pleaded guilty before a federal court in San Diego on Tuesday to charges of dumping oily bilge into the sea.

Columbus Ohio Bankruptcy
Information Center
"As a Columbus, Ohio bankruptcy attorney it has always bothered me to see how many graduates would come through my law office for a bankruptcy consultation only for me to tell them that their student loan debts could not be discharged in a bankruptcy. Helping people who are struggling with debt is my business and my life, therefore I made it my mission to bring student loan debt solutions to my practice. The fact is that while most bankruptcy lawyers cannot directly help to reduce your student loan payment or to even help you to gain student loan debt forgiveness, my Columbus, Ohio student loan debt help office can help."
Nationwide, student loan debt is over 1.3 trillion dollars and growing by the minute. Student loan debt has now exceeded credit card debt in this country and is a major problem facing graduates in Columbus, Ohio.
If you are reading this, then you may already have experienced attempting to work directly with your lender(s). Remember, the student loan servicers are in business to make money from your student loan debts. The lender knows that you are in survival mode, and typically will offer a forbearance or deferment as breathing room. A student loan forbearance or deferment temporarily suspends your payments. The reason it is good business for the student loan servicer to be so generous is because they make interest on the principal while your payments are suspended, thus your student loan debts continue to accumulate. When the forbearance or deferment expires, you are right back where you started, except your student loan debts are even higher.
If you are in default, the student loan servicers can take money from you without even filing a lawsuit. It is known as an administrative wage garnishment. The student loan servicer can even take your income tax refund to offset your student loan debt.
My student loan debt relief solutions service has a process to get you out of student loan default in order to help you to qualify for many of the available programs to resolve your student loan debt problems.
In addition to other debt relief solutions, my student loan debt help office can help you to seek a number of federal programs that can assist you in survival, some of these programs include IBR, IDR, ICR, Hardship Discharges, Public Service Forgiveness, Administrative Discharge, School Closing Discharge, Fraudulent Application, Public Student Loan Forgiveness programs for teachers, government workers, and also employees of 501 C 3 not for profit corporations among others. As a part of the student loan debt relief service provided, you will be made aware of what programs that you may qualify for and what programs that my process may help you to qualify for.

Starnoenas cyanocephala
|Scope: Global
|Scientific Name:
|Starnoenas cyanocephala
|Species Authority:
|(Linnaeus, 1758)
Common Name(s):
|Taxonomic Source(s):
|del Hoyo, J., Collar, N.J., Christie, D.A., Elliott, A. and Fishpool, L.D.C. 2014. HBW and BirdLife International Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World. Lynx Edicions BirdLife International.
|Identification information:
|30-33 cm. Stunningly marked, large quail-dove. Cinnamon-brown with spectacular head and throat marking. Blue crown, black eye-stripe and white facial stripe, black gorget bordered narrowly white below and bluish mottling on sides of throat. Voice Distinctive, two phrase call uuu-up, uuu-up, last note of each rising and ending abruptly. Hints Shy, but often in areas with ample leaf-litter.
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Endangered C2a(i) ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|BirdLife International
|Butchart, S. & Symes, A.
|Kirkconnell, A. & Mitchell, A.
|Benstead, P., Isherwood, I., Mahood, S., Pilgrim, J., Sharpe, C J & Wege, D.
This species is extremely rare and has a very small population with extremely small subpopulations, and numbers are continuing to decline in response to hunting and habitat loss. For these reasons the species is classified as Endangered.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|Starnoenas cyanocephala is endemic to Cuba, where it was once common and widespread from Pinar del Río across to Guantánamo. It is now rare almost everywhere, and virtually extinct on the Isla de la Juventud and Isla de Pinos (A. Kirkconnell in litt. 1999). In the late 1980s, reasonable numbers were reported only from Zapata Swamp, and a more recent study found good numbers in the lowlands around Zapata, with another smaller, but significant, population in the mountains at La Güira in Pinar del Río province and another on Guanahacabibes peninsular (Wells and Mitchell 1995). Small numbers are also known or presumed to persist in several additional areas throughout the country (A. Mitchell in litt. 1998).
|Countries occurrence:
Vagrant:Turks and Caicos Islands
|Additional data:
|Range Map:
|Click here to open the map viewer and explore range.
|The population is estimated to number 1,000-2,499 individuals based on an assessment of known records, descriptions of abundance and range size. This is consistent with recorded population density estimates for congeners or close relatives with a similar body size, and the fact that only a proportion of the estimated Extent of Occurrence is likely to be occupied. This estimate is equivalent to 667-1,666 mature individuals, rounded here to 600-1,700 mature individuals. However, Leavelle (2008) recently estimated a much higher density than that used in these calculations, and so the population estimate may be revised upwards.
Trend Justification: There are no new data on trends, but the species is suspected to be declining at a slow or moderate rate, owing to excessive hunting, and habitat loss and degradation.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|This species occurs in the undergrowth of lowland forest including swampy areas, and occasionally in highland forest. It forages for seeds, berries and snails on the ground in dense forest and occasionally on forest tracks. It is generally found in pairs, but larger congregations have been recorded, with 18 birds at a water hole during the 1995 dry season (A. Mitchell in litt. 1998). Breeding takes place mainly between April and June, with nests placed on or close to the ground, often amongst tree roots or in stump cavities (A. Mitchell in litt. 1998), or higher up on a horizontal branch 2.5-8 m above the ground (Leavelle 2008, Kirkconnell and González 2008).
|Continuing decline in area, extent and/or quality of habitat:
|Generation Length (years):
|Movement patterns:
|Not a Migrant
|Major Threat(s):
|The combined and chronic effects of excessive hunting and habitat destruction have produced a large-scale decline. It has always been regarded as excellent eating, and is still trapped illegally using drop-traps baited with orange seeds (A. Mitchell in litt. 1998). Hurricanes may significantly affect the species by felling large areas of forest, such as happened in Zapata Swamp in 1996 (A. Mitchell in litt. 1998).
|Conservation Actions:
Conservation Actions Underway
It is protected under national law and in the Zapata Swamp, but neither is enforced and hunting continues (A. Mitchell in litt. 1998). The only known highland population is protected within La Güira National Park (A. Mitchell in litt. 1998). Conservation Actions Proposed
Survey areas outside known sites, where the species may persist (A. Mitchell in litt. 1998). Immediately protect any populations discovered during these surveys. Conduct public awareness and education campaigns to highlight the plight of the species and reduce hunting pressure (A. Mitchell in litt. 1998). Enforce the protection afforded by protected areas.

With his big blue eyes and soulful expression, George was the irresistible runt of the litter. But Dave and Christie Nasser's "baby" ended up being almost five feet tall, seven feet long, and 245 pounds. Eager to play, and boisterous to the point of causing chaos, this big Great Dane was scared of water, scared of dogs a fraction of his size and, most of all, scared of being alone.
GIANT GEORGE is the charming story of how this precocious puppy won Dave and Christie's hearts and along the way became a doggie superstar. In 2010, George was named by Guinness World Records as the Tallest Dog in the World-ever. He appeared on Oprah, and even has his own global fan club. But to Dave and Christie, this extraordinary animal is still their beloved pet, the one who has made them laugh, made them cry, and continues to make them incredibly happy.

A very heartwarming story.
I just loved this story. It made me realize how much my little dog has in common with George. I've learned to appreciate the differences in my dog that make him so special. All of his mischievous ways seem normal after all! George is so lucky to have found the perfect parents. A heartwarming story about a very precious family member.by JA on August 28, 2014

This morning, I awoke at seven a.m. to feed my hungry five-month-old, Clara. Soon after my husband left for work, her brothers Owen, three, and William, five, joined her on my bed and promptly began bickering – their most favorite pastime these days besides nurturing their ever-growing collection of Pokemon cards. A while later, my older two sons Jacob, eleven, and Isaac, nine, emerged bleary-eyed from their room, where they'd stayed up too late murmuring in the dark from their bunk bed.
Then my day really began: breakfast to make, diapers to change, dishes to clear, toys to step over, toys to step on. At one point I had spit-up in my hair and a mixture of sand (residue from yesterday's trip to the beach) and Cheerios stuck to my feet. It's noon, and I'm just now putting those sticky feet up to try to get a little work done to the tune of a foam sword fight. I won't stop until I fall into bed tonight after the kids are asleep, sipping a glass of wine while I watch reruns of The Golden Girls.
Bumpaholism? Oh yes, it's a real disorder. It's my life, and while it can be exhausting and sometimes frustrating, I love it. I love the noise and the laughter. I love the friendships I see growing between my boys, and the way they dote on their baby sister. I always knew I'd like to have a big family, and though I'm pretty sure we're done at five and I look forward to re-claiming some of my independence, there's a bit of me that'll be sad to move on from this stage of my life.
Apparently, that puts me in danger of being a "bumpaholic."
Bumpaholism? Oh yes, it's a real disorder. At least, according to a recent Women's Health article and Today Show story, claiming that a large number of women want lots of kids for all the wrong reasons.
It's just one more example of a recent media-driven onslaught against bigger-than-average families, fueled by freak-show-esque examples like OctoMom and Jon & Kate, and inspiring creative phrase-coining, like "competitive birthing" (Thanks, NPR!) and "compulsive motherhood" (Good one, ABCNews!).
"Having babies isn't addictive in the way that alcohol and narcotics can be. But bumpaholics feel compelled to procreate for many of the same reasons that substance abusers turn to booze or drugs," reads Women's Health. In this article, experts speculate about the reason women have more than a couple of babies: to get attention. To get waited on hand and foot by our spouses (that, I'm told, is far from a universal experience). To avoid returning to work or having to figure out what to do with our lives next. To get unsolicited comments and belly rubs from strangers. (Oh yeah, ask any pregnant woman; we just LOVE that).
It's not news that human beings sometimes turn to compulsive behavior to fill a psychological void. Some fill that emptiness with money, puppies, designer clothes, long hours at work, meaningless sex, alcohol, or any of the myriad ways people find to self-medicate. But in this new crop of critiques, we've chosen to fix our collective criticism on that old throwback, the woman who wants kids.
I'll be the first to admit that I find newborn babies awfully compelling. Their soft, wrinkly little heads, that baby smell, the scrunched-up hands, the first crooked smiles . . . all of those things seem to set off a dopamine flood in my brain. Looking at and holding a baby feels good. Didn't nature intend it to be? Otherwise, we'd never make it through those sleepless first few months or overcome the urge to run away and join the circus.
But apparently we are no longer allowed to respond to our own natural impulses, even when we apply a healthy dose of reality and intellect to the equation. It's people who stop at one or two children, the article says, who use their "higher brain functions to keep those instincts in check." I guess the rest of us are little more than primates, reproducing willy-nilly to keep those hormones flooding in.
In the world of tell-all mommy blogs and reality shows featuring hassled, harried, and unhappy mothers, it's become suspicious even to admit that we like kids, much less that we could be reasonably happy raising them (unless we're mentally imbalanced, that is). According to the cultural mythology, moms hide their depression and feelings of emptiness behind domesticity and child-rearing. The implication? Having kids isn't "real life", it's just a way to escape from it for a while.
Why do we question the motives surrounding the decision to have children (or not) with so much more cynicism than we do other decisions? If someone volunteers for a nonprofit or has a large circle of friends, no armchair psychologist would bother to question whether she was trying to "fill a void" with meaningful activity or companionship. It would instead be accepted that creating relationships with other human beings is a normal, natural and human desire.
What about the idea that a large family can be intentionally and intelligently chosen? When did it become weird to like children, to want them . . . even more than two?

Australian women of the century remembered in federation book
MAXINE McKEW: Well, with the centenary of federation ceremonies only days away, one Australian writer has set out to ensure that it's not just the history of dead white males that we celebrate after January 1.
In her latest publication, Susanna De Vries has documented the lives of some well-known names -- Mary Gilmore, Annette Kellerman, Dame Edith Lyons and Sister Elizabeth Kenny.
But more intriguing are her tales of some unsung heroines, women like Joyce Loch, who helped thousands of Jews escape to freedom and is our most decorated Australian woman.
Then there's the impressive achievements of Ella Simon, a community activist and Australia's first Aboriginal Justice of the Peace.
At the end of the century, Susanna De Vries has paid tribute to a group of women who refused to allow convention and legal barriers to inhibit their quest for a fuller life.
I spoke with Susanna De Vries earlier this week.
MAXINE MCKEW: Susanna De Vries, thanks for joining us.
Considering that, come January 1 this year, we will be celebrating certainly 100 years of white female suffrage, but when you consider it, the history of Australian women and their achievements in this century has been a pretty patchy one.
So is your book really an attempt to make up the difference in some way?
SUSANNA DE VRIES, AUTHOR: Yes, Maxine, it really is.
To try and fill in some of the really important women whose stories we haven't heard.
MAXINE MCKEW: What would you say were some of the big obstacle courses that many women who wanted to live something more than a domestic life, particularly in the first half of the century, what were the obstacle courses that many faced?
SUSANNA DE VRIES: Lack of access to higher education, lack of reliable information about birth control.
If you've got 16 children, it's pretty hard to go out and be an achiever anywhere else but in the home.
MAXINE McKEW: Of course, not many made it into law, medicine.
It was 20 years before the first woman, Edith Cowan, made it into Parliament.
SUSANNA DE VRIES: Yes, absolutely.
So the vote didn't do them much good really for the first 20 years at least.
MAXINE McKEW: Let's talk a little bit about two of the lesser-known women that you have written about.
This is most interesting.
The first is Joyce Lock.
As you say, she is Australia's most decorated woman, but most of us have never heard of her.
Just give us some of the highlights of her life.
SUSANNA DE VRIES: Well, born to great wealth in Queensland.
Her family went bankrupt.
She wound up living in a dirt-floored hut in Gippsland.
No money for her to go to university, though she wanted to be a doctor.
She gets out of rural poverty by writing two books, marrying a journalist and going off to London as a journalist, writes a book about the troubles in Ireland.
They're threatened by the IRA and told to get far away from London, so they go and work as aid workers in Poland, intending to write a book on Russia.
And from there, they are really head -hunted to go to Greece where a million and a half Greeks are fleeing from Asia Minor.
And she does valiant work there and they're given a beautiful old tower by the sea for a peppercorn rent out of gratitude by a Greek village who they've saved from starvation.
And she writes books there and runs a volunteer medical service with medicines supplied by Australian doctors and by the Quakers.
And she's extraordinarily honoured in Greece for doing this.
MAXINE McKEW: And of course later she had this even greater act of heroism by saving many Jews from the Holocaust.
SUSANNA DE VRIES: Well, this is extraordinary.
I mean, it's like a female 'Schindler's Ark' -- I couldn't believe the story when I first came across it.
She saved 1,000 Polish and Jewish children from the Nazis, who were entering Bucharest.
They fled from Poland and she and her husband were in charge of them there.
She took them out by river steamer, across the Black Sea to Constantinople and then down to Cyprus.
Then their boat is bombed when they're on their way to Palestine, um, but they make it through.
She defies the Palestine authorities to let the Jewish children through.
And then she and her husband run what's called the 'camp of a thousand orphans' in Heifer during the war.
And she personally goes and fights the authority to get food for what she calls "her children".
MAXINE McKEW: So Susanna, is it time really she was honoured in her own home country, because she's been honoured in so many countries in Europe, hasn't she?
SUSANNA DE VRIES: I think it's extraordinary.
All 11 medals she's won overseas and we don't know her name here.
I've written her full biography, 'Blue Ribbons, Bitter Bread'.
And she's --
but I feel she's also one of the stars of great Australian women and really we should put up a statue or a plaque to her either in Ingham, where she was born, or in Gippsland, where she lived, or in Melbourne University where she worked.
MAXINE McKEW: Susanna, there's also the inspiring story of the activist Ella Simon, of course, the first Aboriginal Justice of the Peace.
I think what you've documented there is the remarkable way that she stood up to, I suppose, the authoritarian Aboriginal protection laws at the time.
And that would have taken a lot of courage, wouldn't it?
SUSANNA DE VRIES: I think huge courage.
And the way that she went to a school on the Purfleet mission where the tuition was really terrible.
MAXINE McKEW: This is where -- in country NSW?
SUSANNA DE VRIES: Yes.
And where she actually then improves herself and goes on trying to learn and to learn nursing techniques to help her fellow Aboriginals on the mission and she stands up to this manager who's really awful and is taking their money.
And she demands that the women get stoves and she goes into towns -- she gets the money off him in the end, and goes in and buys them all stoves and gets them delivered and really gets better conditions for them.
And really goes into a whole lot of social measures to help her fellow people.
MAXINE McKEW: But again, not that very well known.
But I will just mention one other woman you've profiled who is, of course, very well known, Dame Roma Mitchell, who died earlier this year.
Do you think, Susanna, it would be fair to say that she represents the last of the generation that felt she had to make, say, that dramatic "either/or" choice in terms of career/marriage?
SUSANNA DE VRIES: Yes, I think you're absolutely right, Maxine.
What I find so fascinating was, now we know she became a High Court judge but at the time, when she just graduated, she really doubted if she would get a job because she was a woman.
And this is somebody of proven, proven ability, as time has told.
The uncertainties of being a woman in the job market at that time were huge because you just were endlessly despised.
Like Joan Rosenover the barrister, who they threw her out of the chambers because she was a woman.
I mean, if she'd been a prostitute, they couldn't have treated her worse.
But now there is a Joan Rosenover chambers in Victoria in Lonsdale Street, Melbourne.
MAXINE McKEW: You've got that nice quote in your profile on Dame Roma.
You say she said to you that she disapproved of the use of femininity, saying, "Never play the sex game at work, it can rebound on you."
Now, did she expand on that at all?
SUSANNA DE VRIES: No, she didn't, unfortunately.
MAXINE McKEW: It's intriguing, isn't it?
SUSANNA DE VRIES: It is, absolutely.
I like the way, too --
she did change.
She became much stronger in her views as she got older and the way she would say just very sweetly to people when they expressed reactionary views, "I used to think like that, but now I've moved on."
MAXINE McKEW: And that could have silenced a few, I imagine.
SUSANNA DE VRIES: I think she's very good at silencing a few people, yes.
MAXINE McKEW: Susanna -- just finally, what message do you think you would like young women to take from the stories of women as you see as having lived very heroic lives?
SUSANNA DE VRIES: Um, I think that they can take a great deal of inspiration from these women and from one of the points among all the women seems to be that once they'd mastered the art of public speaking, regardless of as to whether they'd got academic qualifications or not, people like Louisa Lawson and Mary Gilmore didn't have tertiary education.
But once they could speak in public, then their careers seemed to move forward.
And Louisa Lawson actually got women into training courses to get them to speak because women on the whole do find it difficult to get on a platform initially and talk.
And I think that's terribly important today for women.
MAXINE McKEW: Susanna De Vries, we'll end it there, but thanks very much indeed.
SUSANNA DE VRIES: Thank you, Maxine.
MAXINE McKEW: And Susanna De Vries's book, by the way, is entitled 'Great Australian Women -- from Federation to Freedom.'
