if billups gets traded here he will play this season out... he knows we wont be picking up that team option...and Denver doenst plan on either.... so he can return to denver if he wants in the summer..
In this case...
our only problem would be... who is our PG to sart the 11/12 season????
after next year when he can go whereever he wants...
if felton gets us melo... do it..
We would of been happy with gettin both Amare and Melo and building around them last July... were about 7 months behind the plan.. but its not to late..
give denver a good deal and lets get this over with.. then maybe we can start to incorporate defensive player around them...
Denver would rather roll the dice....than take a low ball deal.. lets be logical
Denver gets: H.Thabeet, D.Gallinari, W.Chandler, E.Curry, 1st round pick from Memphis
Memphis gets: A.Harrington, K.Azubuike
Minnesota gets: A.Randolph, R.Mason
New York gets: C.Anthony, C.Anderson, O.Mayo, S.Telfair
with the New CBA coming out how do we know what a max salary will be?
If Chris Paul wants to get paid he better get traded now or re-sign with N.O. because FA's are about to get max deals starting at about 14.5 million with very few years guaranteed (I'd say 4 at the best).
so imagine if The Knicks sported this roster
Mozgov (surely by then he wouldve learned how to catch the ball)
Toney D
I think Paul would take a pay cut to run that team even if he didnt get max money!
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
if the CBA cuts back max contracts.. the question is.. do they cut the salary cap.. or do they increase it.. i hope they increase it....
however.. all this is spectulation... the future...
MELO is the past, present and the future.. and there aint another player on our team or a combination of them (other than stat) that can give me us a definite..
Amare has been callin out his teamates all year....
If everything stays the same, there will not be enough cap space to sign CP3, if we get Melo. Remember, Lebron and Bosh took $14.5 mil and Wade took $14 mil to play together. Amare is getting $20 mil and with Melo's extension, Melo will get $21 mil. Our guys are too greedy to allow a 3rd max contract. It is finacially impossible for us to sign CP3 and Melo. Unless CP3 is willing to take $8 mil (he would laugh at that) or the cap increases to $66-70 mil (all indicatons are it will shrink).
And if we can't expect Melo to wait out a season for free agency, how can we expect CP3 to wait out two seasons?
CP3 will be traded. And if we give away all our assets to get Melo, we will have nothing to trade to get CP3 and no cap space to sign him. Having Gallo + Fields + Randolph + draft picks + Turiaf's expiring contract to offer for CP3 THIS SUMMER, is our best route to get CP3. Then we can compete for a championship next year.
So actually, if you want CP3 here, it is better for us to sign Melo this summer, not trade for him.
My argument against pulling the trigger on the Melo trade was that we should stockpile our assets for a potential trade for a Chris Paul/Deron Williams trade (although I doubt Utah is going to trade Deron Williams, they'd probably rather let him just walk out of spite).
If we sign Melo as a free agent then we can trade Felton + Gallinari + Randolph + Walker + first rounder for Chris Paul (is a Wilson Chandler Sign + Trade possible if he's an RFA? That'd be an interesting angle to pursue). The Hornets don't have an owner, they might very well get contracted, there's no better time to trade CP3 than when his contract is an expiring.
It'll be similar to what the Celtics did when they made their super-team, they started with Paul Pierce and then got two superstars in one off-season, except our superstars will be players who are in their primes and thus ready to dominate for the next 5-6 years.
We'd have to have decent drafts to build talent but keep this in mind - having CP3, Carmelo, and Amar'e would allow us to sign prime free agent role players to minimum and/or MLE-level deals. That means we could pick up guys like Samuel Dalembert or TJ Ford at minimum-level deals and create a team of 3 superstars + roleplayers.
Don't forget that a team doesn't really need to be that awesome from 1-5. All you really need is two superstars and good roleplayers around them to win a championship (ie Lakers). If we can pick up our own big 3 and then surround them with solid roleplayers like Landry Fields and Timofey Mozgov and Dalembert/Ford/Perkins/whatever, we'll be well on our way to a championship (I still think we have to find the right coach, but whatever)
Seriously, think about it like this.
We're at a point where we can pick up Carmelo Anthony as an FA where the only player we lose is Wilson Chandler (I'm pretty sure we can't afford the cap hold to retain his bird rights while having the cap space to sign Carmelo to a max deal).
If we lose Chandler and sign Carmelo as an FA, that leaves us with plenty of trading assets for CP3. Felton, Gallinari, Mozgov, TD, Walker, Fields, Rautins, Randolph, all of these guys are expendable for CP3.
Trade 4 of those players for CP3 in the off-season and sign Carmelo and we're the next Boston Celtics and well on our way. Could you imagine the damage a player like CP3 could do in this offense (or any offense, for that matter)?
Have we truly thought about the reality of a CP3-Amar'e Pick and Roll duo being quite possibly the best of all time? Or Amar'e kicking it out the CP3 on the wing or Melo from mid-range? Let's be honest if we got CP3 and Melo to go with Amar'e we'd have the best Knicks team ever since the 70's.
We will trade many of our assets for Melo because Melo is demanding his money. And we will forever be a 3rd/4th seed 2nd round exit in the playoffs because of it.
Well, at least Melo will be happy with his $65 mil, instead of $50 mil, even though he's already made over $100 mil in his career so far. Good for him. I'm glad we are able to make Melo happy at the sacrifice of ever winning a championship. As long as Melo is happy, the Knicks shouldn't matter.
Either way this is a very hypothetical situation which probably will have 0% chance of happening after the new cba.
I just did a trade through the trade machine on espn and it makes a lot of sense, its a 3 way between clipps, knicks, nuggets
Knicks get: Melo, Deandre Jordan( RFA after season)
Nuggets get: Chandler, Curry, Gallo and Mason jr
Clipps get: Anthony Randolph
What do u guys think

Towers Watson: smart beta has lift-off
Investors are piling into alternative indices, dubbed "smart beta" by consultant Towers Watson. In 2013, its clients invested $10.7 billion in the sector, equivalent to nearly 50% of sums managed at the start of the year and up from $5 billion in 2012. Towers Watson's institutional clients globally have now put $32.3 billion into its smart beta strategies.
Through smart beta, investors invest in lists of securities designed to match the performance of a chosen asset class.
Because managers are not actively managing a portfolio, they cannot charge so much.
According to Towers Watson, a product tracking volatility might charge only 50 basis points against the 400bps charged by hedge funds in a reasonable year.
A smart beta equity product tracking high-yield or growth stocks might cost 10bps, against 50bps for an active product. Traditional passive products, tracking cap-weighted indices, charge even less.
Towers Watson has occasionally formed joint ventures with managers to develop opportunities.
It believes 90% of asset managers lack skill, relying on luck and sector performance to generate returns.
Towers Watson head of research Craig Baker said smart beta has achieved "lift-off" 10 years after his firm started to promote it: "New ideas take time to become accepted," he said.
He added he still saw a place for active managers but wanted to be sure of their skill before agreeing to their fees.
Towers Watson placed 45 smart beta products using styles frequently accessed by hedge funds last year, out of a total of 97 for the sector. Reinsurance contracts have been a popular sector.
New smart beta mandates tracking private equity returns totalled 41, second only to 45 from real estate out of searches totalling 144. Products that track infrastructure returns through listed companies or service contracts are popular. Some investors say smart beta could provide cheap finance for infrastructure development.
Smart beta mandates numbering 20 did not figure so strongly within 343 equity searches, a third of which were global mandates. But the business was often sizeable. The same was the case in bonds, where smart beta searches accounted for 21 out of a total 207.
A survey produced by State Street Global Advisors last week said more than 60% of investors saw smart beta as a viable alternative to active management.

While you are flitting merrily about
Remember you are going to scream and shout
When you spend time and effort in frustration
As the vessel you are on begins to sink
And everyone on board scampers for flotation.

Maybe they're unwritten, or lost in the depths of antiquity, but here they are, IIRC:
Sparteye's Game, as originally conceived: Use two particular given words in a short poem. Then present your own pair of words for the next person to use similarly.
-- The verse is [usually] in the form of a limerick, with its standard rhythm (the most frequently-bent rule)
-- The words to be used are not arbitrary; they come from some word-centered dictionary, or thesaurus, or such. They should be "index words," the first and last words on a single page.
The challenge in the game is to find word pairs that will be difficult (read "interesting," if you like) to incorporate into a single coherent short verse, not to bring the game to a screeching halt. Impossible words really aren't that hard to come by; there's no virtue in it.

He picked himself up and wasn't bemused,
For his suit was quite muddy and looked disused.

Some physicists think it is clear
That the cosmos has always been here.
A fallacy found

A palatial home can be a thing of beauty,
Maybe a cabin is more in style,
The fruits of our labor come with added time,
But all who endeavor to risk the chance,
Are only going to find out at a glance,
That it is all a pantomime.

As I learned in a history course,
The Saxon invaders had force.
With broadsword and scabbard,
Their troops fiercely jabbered
Until they succumbed to the Norse.

To a miller be an occupation,
But a profession be on graduation,
Signs and wonders never heard of,
A great encounter to reflect upon.
It is a chore to the many,
That a person of high esteem be miscellany.

Electric Radial Winches let you trim a sail of any size with the push of a button. Easily convert manual Radials to electric or hydraulic power. They don't require an adapter plate, and identical stud patterns mean no new holes to drill. Motors attach to the central drive shaft and drive through the winch gears for two-speed mechanical advantage—low power first gear for fast trimming, higher-powered second gear for fine-tuning loaded sheets. This results in lower battery drain and a more efficient motor. You will also need wire, two switches, a control box, and a circuit breaker. We recommend adding an optional load controller to protect your winches from overload. Match wire size to the size of the winch, system voltage, and wire length. Harken offers five high-amperage, waterproof circuit breakers.

Barre City School Board at it againMarch 19,2013
Theyre at it again
I hope others in the Barre community are as sick and tired as I am over the games the Barre City Elementary and Middle School plays each budget season. And they are at it again.
In Wednesdays Times Argus it was stated that the school board is going to put before the taxpayers whether busing should continue in Barre. What a cop-out. I would hate to be a member of that board if this budget item is defeated. I believe the mindset of this board is that citizens will not want busing to stop and will vote in the school budget. Guess again.
The board has made no attempt to reduce the budget as was initially submitted and voted down. Simply removing the busing expense and making it a separate budget item, and finding out they had overestimated health insurance costs, is not changing the budget at all. And then still including the assistant principal (which is not needed), and asking for a revote on the resource officer. The citizens voted no on the resource officer; what would be the difference now? And $61,000 is budgeted for that position. I thought Barre City paid half the salary is this the total salary, or does Barre contribute more that is included in the city budget?
I sincerely hope a resubmitted, nearly unchanged budget is defeated by an even greater margin. Then, perhaps this board will really take a look at what can be eliminated, rather than intimidating taxpayers with the threat of harm that will be done to students if the budget doesnt pass. The only harm would be the continued mismanagement of this budget.

This winter tire is in accordance with the mandated winter driving regulations in Quebec.
All orders are verified for fitment guarantee.
You'll receive an alert as soon as this item is available for order.
Ice! Not any better than an all season tire on smooth ice. Ok on roughened or textured ice, dry snow and hard pack. No good in wet snow on thawing hard pack driving forward, but fair in reverse. The directional tread probably explains this. Other sizes are probably getting the more favorable reviews. Going back to the better Michelin X Ice.

These tires were pretty decent in the first couple of winters, especially in mixed conditions, but after a bit of use, their ice performance has become non-existent and they do quite badly in deeper snow. You know your tires aren't doing well when a crappy FWD car takes off better than your AWD beast on a tiny bit of black ice. Otherwise they are fairly comfortable and have continued to do pretty well in shallower snow and slush, but I wouldn't buy them again, considering how much performance they lose over time.

Ice traction i would rate a 0 out of 5 because once you hit ice you are done. But overall it is a great tire for dry pavement and wet surfaces such as slush and rain and a medium snow fall. Not recommended for deep snow 1 foot plus. Tread wear is by far the best. I had these tires on my car for 2 years straight through all seasons and the tread did not wear out at all. But the side wall where the tire mounts the rim is weak after 2 years and youll keep getting flat tires because of it and thats after 2 years of use. They grip the dry summer pavement extremely well. This year I bought the Nokian tyres 8 studded just because the roads here in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada get very icy and i cant compromise on my safety. But for spring summer and fall next year ill be buying another set of these Goodyear Ultra Grip WRT ICE tires. To drive on for those 3 seasons. Again these tires are no good on ice you will spin out and or have no traction or steering on light ice with these tires. Its a scary feeling having no control when driving and hitting black ice.

Wow. Love these tires for my 2015 Forester. Most of my winter driving in Ottawa is on mostly clean cold surfaces and these do really well on that. They're not great in more than a few inches of snow, so country road driving may not be great... but where it's been plowed in the city/highway they do very well. Obviously the four wheel drive helps. Breaking is consistent as well. Would buy these again.

I am leaving Friday this week and wondered if anyone has ever done this and has advice on how to get this on board without issues. Should I load pins and just stick in my carry on or both vials and pins with me? I don't have to get them through airport just the cruise ship. Started over thinking this lol.
How long is the cruise? This is when long esters come in handy....
Just mega-dose a long ester and play it safe. never heard of strip searches for a cruise. Maybe just Preload some pins and stash em in your draws.
Use promo Code HIV20 for 20% off!
They dont check getting on but they do getting off and when you come back on and off port. They have metal detectors. I didn't see the check small pockets or pocket books.. You preload the syrine and say its b12. I think they are more looking for drugs.
Cool that was my original plan. I'll just load one and leave the vials in the car while we are gone.
I would not try that one man.
Was kinda my thought. They are looking for liquor and drugs mainly and even if they x-ray in the machine going in and see one pin don't know it will really matter. Sure they see people travel with pins all the time with medications. Don't know if saying its B12 will matter without a script either but I can't think of a better plan to get it on board.
I agree with SFW . Just hit a big rig of Sust and have worry free fun ?
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]If you ain't cheating, your just not tryin !
been on a few cruises...they don't look for much...hell if you had a kilo of coke or a gallon of Crown yeah they would have a issue...any of the cruises south of the states are gonna hit port into pharmacy central...just buy a pre load and pin it before you get back on the boat..its been a few years since i have been on one but they didn't check very hard returning from port stops...now back to the port in the states is a diff story...
I went on a plane, then boarded the ship, opened my luggage in my room and found a TSA paper in my suitcase saying they searched my bag. I had several needles full, a couple vials, MT2 loaded up and caps. The note was almost right on top of them. I bought some more shit on the trip at one of the ports and brought it on the boat. I left the TSA slip in my suitcase, so if they opened it up again it would be the first thing they saw. Nothing ever came of it
Yeah I'm not thinking they will even notice 1 pin and if they do oh well they can take it and destroy it. Our luggage goes on with everyone else while we check in and go to the boat so we don't walk through with it and it arrives at our room later that night if they ask its just B12.
More than anything they look for stuff you could use to harm other passengers such as weapons. They aren't going to question you about pharmaceuticals, I'd bet more than 75% of the passengers bring some type of medicine on board.
Why would you want too ? Your on a cruise enjoy it.
JTip, what are you running now? I wouldn't take anything on board that has even the slightest chance of ruining my trip. It's only 8 days, not 16... I pin every 6 to 7 days with Test and NPP. Why can't you just load up a bit more in your syringe and blast it a couple hours before leave for the boat? That's the safest and worry free plan... besides maybe hitting a port south of the border that you can buy gear from a pharmacy and blast it before you get back on board... Your on vacation, why worry unnecessarily about something you can totally avoid?
why do people always plan their cycles when they know they are going on vacation
Aussies and Philadelphians are the only people here
Just an update all went well just put it in a first aid kit in my checked bags.
have a nice holidays man! post some pics..
looks like I didnt get an invite for the IMF big gay cruise

So i have been saying that the most realistic move is for Joe Johnson to come to NY in 2010. He gave Mike D credit for playing him starter's minutes and developing his game. Johnson has rejected a deal from the Hawks this year. I have always seen Johnson in a Knicks uniform for some weird reason.
Now ESPN insider, which is usually the best rumor central news, is saying that the Knicks are the #1 buyer for Johnson and/or that Johnson just wants to come to NY...if i had the insider this would be great but I don't.
Does everyone buy this rumors and think that Johnson would fit nice with this team? He can be our main scorer and is a good passer. Thoughts?
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
this off season? that's just ****ing dumb.i hate that idea.
I've always like Joe Johnson
but without a PG or a true Center Joe Johnson would be of no use. He is better off in ATL and we are better off spending the money we would use on a Max FA on filling some gaps.
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
Eh...I don't see whats so special...
johnson, fernandez, camby, mcgrady even ridnour who else only in this week ? who got someone for the knicks ?
Great. We dumped 2 years and have pinned our hopes on Joe Johnson.
I don't know why he would leave Atlanta for the worst roster in the NBA. This franchise is cursed forever.
Man, it sickens me when I see people give potential lineups that include Jared Jeffries. The layers of pathetic if that man is still on our roster after this season can't be overstated.
Can we even sign Lee and Johnson? I don't think so.
If we could (bigbigBIG if) and we add another year of slavery to our fandom, we could look forward to a potential contender if Gallo and Hill develop the year after, barring a couple trades:
C Hill
PF Lee
SF Gallo
SG Chandler
PG Johnson
Jeffries' expiring, 1st --> Devin Harris
C Hill
PF Lee
SF Gallo
SG Johnson
PG Harris
Key Bench: Chandler, Douglas, CurryExpiring.
Jeffries is actually a pretty serviceable player; you consider him top5 DPOTY, and you aren't alone. He clearly has value, and clearly would have measurable value for contending teams, or teams on the brink, in particular.
That said, this entire franchise -- by the work, words, and wisdom -- of the front office, has designated our lifeline on Plan 2010.
Plan 2010 can, realistically, only be positioned to truly work *if* Jeffries is traded.
His relative value for our team is -100000000000000000 because of this, even though his actual value to many other teams would be +10000000000, because he is indeed pretty solid, and has some interesting value. This is especially true since we are *simply* trying to dump him, and won't even expect to get back *any* value.
I actually wouldn't mind the roster I mentioned above, either. but, to get that, it would take initiative on the part of our franchise -- the very same initiative they seem to be perplexed by in executing in even the most rudimentary (and fundamental) aspects of the single biggest plan we have been told: Plan 2010.
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
So, we'll basically have the same roster plus Joe Johnson (if this is true) providing we get Lee back along with a few cheap players to round out the roster.
Is this why we're pursuing McGrady? As a plan B to another declining SG?
And still, we sputter along with no real center or PG.
In all honesty, how much is Joe Johnson really worth? More than Lee?
If we were to sign Johnson at $10m and Lee the same for example, we'd have $6m to spare to round out the roster with 4 more players. An average of $1.5m/player.
****ing Donnie. You catatonic old ****.

How to Grow
Beans are fun, fast-growing plants that take little care to perform well.
It makes sense to inoculate beans before sowing, which boosts the nitrogen levels of your garden soil with no work whatsoever. Inoculant is available at garden centers.
Sow bean seeds about three or four inches apart in the row around the third week of May. Thinning is not necessary, but do keep the plants weeded, especially when young. Pole beans often bear for many weeks, continuing to set pods until frost.
For most tender green beans, harvest when young, slightly thicker than a pencil. To harvest dry beans, let the plant mature; pods will dry on the plant towards the end of summer. Pull the brown pods off the vine and store in a dry place until the shells are crisp and easy to open. Or, pull the plants up by the roots and allow them to dry. When the pods are brittle, shake plants back and forth inside a plastic garbage can; the beans will release from their pods and settle in the bottom of the pail.

2013/03/08 Minutes Economics Working Group
Debt, Debt Audit and Jubilee considerations – Papers presented by Dave
What money is? – not addressed. In so far as Graeber says debt came before money, we can address in time. Debt is pseudo money. FIAT currency is on another level not synonymous.
Four domains of debt: sovereign, personal, between financial institutions, non-financial companies. UK public debt c. £1.145 = 70% of GDP rising to £1.5trn (2016) – much lower than post second world war. Has been higher for most of the period since the establishment of BoE. Third of debt held overseas, third in pension and other funds, and third in QE. Without QE, debt would be much lower. Debt interest £44.8Bn pa. Foreign buyers will continue to support the market as long as there are no better opportunities around. Debt to GDP 35% in 2007 caused directly by the banks. Pension and other liabilities £5bn according to Institute of Economic Affairs. Deficit v debt. Annual shortfall of income to meet expenditure. If interest rates rise the interest burden will become unsustainable.
Personal debt: £1.422trn (Jan 13) £23K per capita. Land – house prices driven by liquidity. Housing underpins the financial system. Wealth skewed – driven into tax havens. Student debt. Again rising interest rates will have a catastrophic effect on those heavily in debt.
Financial Debt £6.7trn but foreigners owe us c. £6.4trn. No real idea of the real assets and liabilities of the banks.
Debt Jubilee – not a permanent solution. Ecuador – debt jubilee commission – to be extended to US, UK and Europe. Debt audit will facilitate categorisation, graduating debt in terms of fairness. Government level or by citizens? Caution is required. EFSF is another factor as is the IMF.
Third world debt is insignificant in the context of developed economies. Debt is possible because of the notion of ownership. Debt is a form of social control. Debtor always servant to the creditor (proverbs) – usually rather than always. Productive debt v for consumption (out of need).
The community alone as the sole possible lender? 1545 Act In restraint of Usury enacted by Henry VIII should be repealed. Debt has no solid foundation (City of London) – indulging in £70bn tax avoidance. "Treason doth never prosper for if it doth none dare call it treason." Money is the seat of sovereignty in the modern age.
EWG Methodology – need papers much earlier so that people are well prepared in advance – attempting to cover too much in the paper. External debt v internal debt – External debt is the most important. Developed world debt v developing world debt. Centralised control of debt is fraught with its own danger.
Debt based economic system is too complicated, over complicated. Hydra multiplying useless heads. Emergence and creation of money. Master/servant relationship. Multiple currencies of exchange – is not equal. Productive debt positive sum game; consumptive debt – zero sum game. Debt is a product of the imagination. Money is conceived by man and is unstable.
Paper on Labour is unresolved but Debt Audit is a good stepping stone to make a global contribution. Philosophical backing from intellectual heavy weights eg. Badiou. Everything is being done with love. Undermined by Daily Mail. London is a global city. EWG in UK is potentially a global force. Austerity, gentrification for the benefit of the global rich. Real democracy alternative.
Interest: impact, suspension, audit. While moving step by step makes sense we need to have an ultimate objective in sight – debt/creditor power dynamic – if you owe a bank £5bn, you hold the balance of power. Where to learn about debt? Www.kahnacademy.org – finance, maths and more. Community lending? Debt: Personal (families etc.), corporate (including public bodies) and national. Debt audit v progressive issues around debt. Communities as lender. Tied into citizens income and other initiatives. GIRO bank costs covered – library model. Interest is not necessary. Alternative Sharia'a – also usury? How to do a debt audit? Need to open the eyes of the beneficiaries.
Debt audit group before EWG? – get external people involved with the help of Haldane. Inequality destabilises – equality stabilises. Call for Debt Audit at next week's Debt Assembly – approved.

1844: Joseph Smith Jr., the founder of the Latter Day Saint movement, and his brother Hyrum Smith are murdered by a mob at the Carthage, Illinois, jail. The brothers had been arrested after Smith ordered a printing press destroyed after it was used to publish an exposé critical of his power and practice of polygamy, which incited a riot. Five men were later tried for the murders, but all were acquitted. Following Smith's death, schisms developed in the leadership of his movement. The largest group, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, followed Brigham Young, settling in what would become the Utah Territory.

This evening at 9:00 P.M., Jay D. Scott is scheduled to end his life at the Southern Ohio Correctional Institution. He was convicted in 1984 for the murder of an elderly shop-owner on the East Side. We can't know for sure what the mood is among Scott and his fellow inmates on death row. But in 1987 a BBC film crew captured the words of one death row inmate in Mississippi, just days before a man was about to be put to death.
"Now people are starting to realize that it's probably going to happen, but there are still people that will all the way up to the last day-- even people that do get executed sometimes don't believe they're going to be executed until they get in there. But it's starting to build a little bit, you know, people are starting to be a little quieter, you know, the last little comments are being kicked around about it, and sad feelings are going around. Some people maybe there's a little bit of fear, but it's just a line and you just gotta wait in line until it happens. And you gotta watch all this happen to you. And it's just torture."
Those words come from the BBC documentary, "Fourteen Days in May." Jay Scott's attorneys have been trying for weeks to convince the courts that conditions on death row have destroyed Scott's mind. They claim he is too mentally ill to be executed. 90.3's April Baer explains.
April Baer- Ohio's rule against executing the mentally ill can be traced back to a basic premise of criminal justice. Professor Margery Koosed is with the law school at the University of Akron, and has handled several death penalty cases.
Margery Koosed- We're punishing individuals for one of four reasons, traditionally. We're trying to restrain or incapacitate them, we're trying sometimes to rehabilitate them. You're trying to engage in some deterrence of other persons in engaging in behavior like that individual has done, and perhaps deterring this specific individual from engaging in that behavior in the future. And you're trying to engage a retributive notion-society's vengeance, the "just desserts" that this is the appropriate punishment for someone who did this to us as a society.
AB- The theory goes that if the defendant is unable to recognize that he's being punished for murder, the death sentence loses too much of its meaning, and should not be carried out. Jay Scott was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 1994, but state attorneys argue that fact alone doesn't make him incompetent. Chris Fry heads the appellate unit of the Cuyahoga County prosecutor's office.
Chris Fry- That's what's been so troubling to me in this case. There has been no suggestion ever in this case that Scott's mental illness impaired his ability or his understanding of criminal conduct in 1983. Scott knew what he was doing, in fact, made comments to his colleagues that he didn't understand why people were so upset that there two people were murdered, he was a stickup man - this is what he did.
AB- But Scott's lawyers say the real problem in the case, is that no one really knows the extent of Jay Scott's mental illness. David Doughton is a Cleveland defense attorney filed an amicus brief in Scott's last appeal to the Ohio Supreme Court.
David Doughton- We argued that the Ohio statute that sets forth whether a condemned man is insane is unconstitutional.
AB- In the first place, Doughton says, the court should have allowed Scott to be re-evaluated -- he says the state has not set down the rules for testing the mental competency of death row inmates. Moreover, he notes that when the Court turned down Scott's last appeal, one reason given was that Scott's team had failed to prove that he's insane. Would the court also ask an accused man to prove his own innocence? Doughton says, certainly not, and he had hoped the "burden of proof" issue might be a good reason for the US Supreme Court to intervene. Yesterday afternoon, the High Court opted not to step in, but Doughton says there are several upcoming cases in which the justices will deal with related issues.
DD- They recently decided to take up a case that said you can't execute insane people. There's a question of whether they will expand that definition to include the mentally retarded, with a case out of North Carolina.
AB- Doughton says there's a basic problem with saying that the state shall not execute people with mental illness, and then refusing to give them the chance to be evaluated. At least one member of the Ohio Supreme Court agrees with him. In last Friday's decision on the Scott appeal, there was one lone dissenter. It was Justice Paul Pfeifer, one of the authors of the very statute that revived the death penalty in Ohio. In his opinion, Pfeifer wrote, that he does not find Jay Scott to be a sympathetic man.
"But" he writes, "I cannot get past one simple irrefutable fact: he has chronic, undifferentiated schizophrenia, a severe mental illness. At this time, we do not and cannot know what is going on in the mind of a person with mental illness. As a society, we have always treated those with mental illness differently from those without. In the interest of human dignity, we must continue to do so."
Scholars are calling the Jay Scott case a test of Ohio's death penalty statute -- on several levels. It was the first time since capital punishment was reinstated that an inmate fought the law to a final appeal, and lost. It was also the first time the state was challenged in its decision of who is competent to be put to death. April Baer, 90.3 90.3 WCPN.

Professional behavior is expected from individuals in veterinary careers and from all those working in a professional organization such as the veterinary college. Although we each may have a different understanding of the term professionalism, there are some common standards reflected in highly professional behavior. This week is designed to bring discussions of professionalism into our daily work lives and to stimulate individual reflection on how one contributes to a professional atmosphere through work, language and action. With a working definition of professionalism, and an internalized commitment to professional behavior, we also hope that individuals will recognize and learn how to create positive, constructive solutions when confronted with behavior that fails to meet these standards.

By Kevin Wilson: Freedom New Mexico
The impending retirement of U.S. Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M., one of the biggest supporters of the Ute Water Project, seems on the surface to be an obstacle for the project's chances of authorization and funding.
Members of the Eastern New Mexico Rural Water Authority, and its advocates, are hoping to turn the obstacle into an opportunity.
"We're counting on him to be our big champion in this last year," State Sen. John Ryan, R-Albuquerque, a Washington advocate for the project, said at Wednesday's Water Authority meeting. "He may want to leave a legacy in the water area, and particularly in this project."
Sen. Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M., chairs the Senate's Natural Resources and Energy Committee. But Domenici's departure means New Mexico would lose its ranking member on the committee, and some clout for seeking federal authorization.
Authorization is the first key, followed by funding, for the $432 million project that would pump water from the Ute Reservoir in Quay County to the authority's eight entities.
Ryan spoke of Domenici, and the domino effect of his open seat in the 2008 election, in his attack plan for federal authorization.
Whoever replaces him, Ryan reasoned, could be an ally if the authority can educate those running for Domenici's seat or for open House of Representatives seats. Rep. Heather Wilson, R-N.M., has already announced her intention to run, while Steve Pearce, R-N.M., is in the exploratory stages.
Former State Rep. Joe Thompson, R-Albuquerque, is a state advocate for the authority. He echoed Ryan's sentiments about using Domenici's final year as leverage to make progress nationally and statewide.
"I think it gives us an incredible opportunity to gain traction and enthusiasm," Thompson said, "and a sense of urgency in Santa Fe."
Thompson said he has been in talks with the New Mexico Municipal League and Bill Hume, a top advisor to Gov. Bill Richardson. He said he felt encouraged by the talks, but said he'll be communicating much more closely with the authority in the months leading to the 2008 Legislature because, "these are not decisions the advocate makes."
In other business during the Eastern New Mexico Rural Water Authority meeting:
• Members approved an agreement with RBC Financial to do work on the project's financial plan and handle work for the authority's transition into a governmental authority. The current ENMRWA operates more as a joint powers agreement, and an authority would help procure better interest rates for bonds.
The authority had previously set aside $100,000 for contract work not yet identified, Project Manager Scott Verhines said. The work from RBC would require about $40,000, plus an undetermined amount for hourly consultant work.
Portales Mayor Orlando Ortega brought the motion up for a vote, and it received unanimous passage. Ortega did preface the motion by echoing the sense of urgency.
"This kind of information is only good if it's current," Ortega said. "If we don't (get authorization), we have to go through this process year after year."
Kevin Powers, an RBC representative, said the Ute Water Project, despite its high price tag, is a much easier sell than other state water projects.
"It's amazing the numbers for some of these water projects that have a lot more obstacles than yours," Powers said.
• Verhines recommended as many authority members as possible attend the Interstate Streams Commission's meeting Wednesday in Logan. Authority Chairman David Lansford said he had sent Mayor Pro Tem Randy Crowder to the last meeting, and Crowder gave the area a new face.
• The next meeting was set for 3 p.m. Nov. 28 at the Texico Community Center. The meeting is expected to run from 3-5 p.m., with a 6 p.m. public information meeting held afterward.

1981 NCAA Div. III champions
PELLA—The Central College women's cross country team earned U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) all-academic team honors for the fourth consecutive year, while men's cross country runners Drew Jackson (junior, Johnston) and Jamie Vander Veer (junior, Knoxville) and women's cross country runner Alyssa Eaves (junior, Johnston) earned individual all-academic awards.
To qualify for the distinction, an individual student-athlete must have compiled a cumulative grade point average of 3.30 or greater on a 4.0 scale and finished among the top 25 percent of finishers at their respective regional championships. Teams are honored by compiling a cumulative GPA of 3.10 or greater, competing in at least five different varsity competitions with at least five runners representing their school at each meet.
Eaves, a Johnston High School graduate and biology and secondary education double major, has a 3.66 GPA and placed 32nd to lead the Dutch women. The team compiled a 3.17 GPA and finished 16th out of 27 teams at the regional meet. It's the fifth time overall Central has received the team award.
Jackson, also a Johnston High School graduate and biology and environmental studies double major, has a 3.57 GPA and placed 13th out of 181 individuals as the Dutch men placed second at the NCAA Division III Central Region meet. It is Jackson's second consecutive USTFCCCA academic honor. Vander Veer, a Knoxville High School graduate and secondary education major, has a 3.58 GPA and placed 44th.

From WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia.
(Redirected from InflataFur)
InflatableFurs.com (also referred to as InflataFurs or the Inflatable Furry Hub) is a furry inflation forum administered by Fur Affinity founder Alkora. It was created as an alternative site when the InflatioNation forum closed down in 2007 (although later reopened in 2008).
- Address:
- Website: http://www.inflatablefurs.com/
- Forum: http://www.inflatablefurs.com/forum/
- Administrators: Alkora, Hungry Jackal
- Moderators: Tombfyre
- Ran from/to: June 16, 2007 - present
The forums were initially opened in June 16, 2007, as an alternative to the defunct InflationNation forums. Most of the members from the IN moved. On March 13, 2008, the long term plans for a Fur Affinity-style gallery gained fruition and the Inflatable Furry Hub came online. On March 11, 2009, nearly a year later, the forum was moved to InflatableFurs.com, where the new version of the Inflatable Furry Hub will come online at a later date.
- The Inflatable Furry Hub was featured in Something Awful's Weekend Web section on August 26th 2007.[1]. The community were light-hearted and didn't take much offence from it.[2] However, as a precautionary measure, the forums were made member only from that point.

Reviews of this property
The Appartement is so clean and cozy! Ist was perfekt and in the near of the City. I
I recommend it to everyone! Also the air conditioner was very helpful. And Radek is also a very Nice and helpful Person. Think it was exellent.
I booked this apartment for a weekend-trip to Prague.
When we arrived Radek came and explained us everything we need to know. He was very friendly and answered all our questions. In Prague you need to be citizen to park on the street so he showed us a cheap P+R in our near.
In the apartment was everything we need, like towels, hair dryer and all the things we need to cook. The apartment is very clean and nice arranged.
The best of all was the beautiful terrace with a really nice view on the city. We had luck with the weather so we had our breakfast there.
The neighborhood was silent with a few bars and clubs and some shops.
We used the subway to get to the main city- the next station is about 5 minutes by foot from the apartment.
All in one everything was good and I just can recommend this.
Radek is a very friendly host. Everything was ok, especially the roof deck, where you have a very nice view over the roofs of prague. we enjoyed out stay.
The apartment was excellent, clean and neat. The area was good and in walking distance from city center. Everything worked out fine and well and we thoroughly enjoyed the accomodation and the city of Prague.
Radek is a very good landlord. He´s kind and you can make good agreements with him. The appartment is new and fresh and it´s a fantastic balcony with wiew over whole Prague.
I recomend Radek and his appartment
For the Pentecost weekend, my friend and I treated ourselves to a very short short trip to Prague. Despite the short time of planning we decided to go for a good price-performance ratio. For Radek, we found exactly the accommodation as we had wished. And kudos as host. Very courteous, reliable and friendly! The location of the apartment is ideal. It is not right in the city center, which has the advantage that some are cheap and delicious eateries within close proximity. The road to Alt-und/oder Town can be reached in 20 minutes on foot or by rail. The apartment is very clean and inviting. The existing kitchen is equipped with all kinds of utensils and toaster and coffee maker. There is also a terrace, which is wonderfully suited to relax after a balmy evening. Grouped around a successful trip not only because of suitable accommodation.
Für das Pfingstwochenende, haben meine Freundin und ich, uns recht kurzfristig einen Kurztrip nach Prag gegönnt.
Trotz der kurzen Zeit der Planung wollten wir nicht auf ein gutes Preis- Leistungsverhältniss verzichten.
Bei Radek, fanden wir genau die Unterkunft wie wir sie uns gewünscht haben.
Und auch großes Lob als Host. Sehr zuvorkommend, zuverlässig und freundlich!
Die Lage der Wohnung ist optimal. Sie liegt nicht mitten in der Innenstadt, was zum Vorteil hat, das einige günstige und leckere Lokale in unmittelbarer Nähe sind.
Der Weg in die Alt-und/oder Neustadt erreicht man in 20min zu Fuß oder bequem via Bahn.
Die Wohnung ist sehr sauber und einladend. Die vorhandene Einbauküche ist mit allerhand Utensilien ausgestattet und auch Toaster und Kaffeemaschine sind vorhanden.
Desweiteren gibt es eine Terasse, die wunderbar geeignet ist, um einen lauen Abend ausklingen zu lassen.
Zusammengefasst ein rundum gelungener Trip nicht zuletzt wegen der passenden Unterkunft.
Clean, modern and with friendly owner. Very good location : one tram stop to metro, direct connection to old town and the building is situated in front of well-known center of modern art DOX. It was simply delightful stay.
Very nice, clean apartment, kettle, crockery etc. abundant. 15 minutes walk to the center, tram stop is located in front of the door. The host is also super nice and helpful. Again any time.
Sehr schönes, sauberes Apartment, Wasserkocher, Geschirr etc. reichlich vorhanden.
Zu Fuß zum Zentrum 15 Minuten, Tramstation befindet sich vor der Haustür.
Der Gastgeber ist ebenfalls super nett und hilfsbereit.
Jederzeit gerne wieder.
Everything was perfect! 6 days in Prague unforgettable!
Todo ha sido perfecto! 6 dias inolvidables en praga!

The term 'slug' refers to a body type and not a group of closely related animals. The slug form has evolved several times in both land and marine molluscs.
A Leopard Slug, Limax maximusPhotographer: Alan Henderson / Source: Museum Victoria
Land snails and slugs belong to the Phylum Mollusca, the second-largest Phylum in the animal kingdom. They are all gastropods, and the slugs are all included in the order Pulmonata. In slugs, the shell that is so typical of most molluscs is lost or reduced to a small remnant buried in the soft tissue. The long, soft body of the slug is unsegmented and has tentacles on the head. It is capable of occupying very small spaces.
Approximately 11 species of land slugs are found in Victoria. Most are introduced from Europe, however two native species, Cystopelta purpurea and Cystopelta astra, occur in forest & woodland areas of Victoria.
Slugs are generally found in cool, damp situations, with the introduced species preferring man modified areas, such as cultivated gardens and areas planted with crops and pasture. Because they have no shell, slugs are very susceptible to desiccation.
Most slugs feed on living plants, but some also eat decaying vegetable matter, and some will eat almost anything, including dog faeces and dog food. Some are regarded as serious pest in gardens, crops and pasture. Slugs are hermaphrodites and many species have complex courtship behaviour.

Hi Craig and thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately the Museum does not have any images of C. purprea in its image database, however, our Marine Invertebrates Collection Manager notes that you will find an image of C. purprea in the Museum Victoria publication 'Field Guide to the Fauna of Greater Melbourne'. We hope this helps!
Hi Sabrina, Limax maximus is distributed throughout SE Australia. They generally are associated with man modified areas among decaying areas in damp situations. As far as we are aware, they should occur south of Melbourne.
Leopard slugs protect their bodies with foul-tasting mucus but this is considered to be non-toxic. If a reaction to the mucus is suspected you need to seek veterinary advice. Slugs do eat dog and cat food, so minimising the availability of this food source to them may reduce the number of slugs. Keeping the garden free of dog faeces may also reduce the number of slugs.
Hi Loi
We would love to see the photographs of the Leopard Slug that you found! Please send them through to firstname.lastname@example.com.
We already have a comprehensive collection of photographs of the Leopard Slug in our collection but we can share yours with our scientists in case they'd like to use it on the website or on the Field Guide.
You could also share your photographs with fellow slug enthusiasts on bowerbird.org.au.
Thanks again Loi!

An overhaul of the countyŌĆÖs tourism strategy was launched last year. Tourism had declined during the recession and then stubbornly flatlined rather than rebounding as quickly as hoped.
So a new countywide tourism agency was formed last year with marching orders to ramp up the countyŌĆÖs marketing game.
The first step was a new logo and brand billing Jackson as a trip destination, with the winning slogan of ŌĆ£Play On.ŌĆØ
Now, the still-fledgling tourism board has to figure out the best vehicle to lure visitors with the new image.
ŌĆ£The opportunity to have an integrated comprehensive plan is a very, very exciting time,ŌĆØ said Stephanie Edwards, executive director of the Cashiers Chamber of Commerce and tourism board member. ŌĆ£Equally important is the evaluation of it. Are we getting the biggest bang for our buck?ŌĆØ
The Jackson County Tourism Development Authority has $650,000 at its disposal raised through a 4 percent tax on overnight lodging. Tourists pay the tax, which is then pumped back in to luring more tourists, a sort of self-perpetuating cycle.
The tourism authority hired a marketing firm for $10,000 to develop a new broad-strokes strategic marketing plan, which is now the center of the tourism boardŌĆÖs discussions.
ŌĆ£A strategic marketing plan would give direction and focus to the execution of Jackson County tourism,ŌĆØ said Robert Jumper, chair of the Jackson tourism authority.
What that strategic marketing plan should look like is the top question facing the tourism authority.
How much should be spent on billboards versus brochures? Internet campaigns versus visitor centers? Festival underwriting versus wooing travel writers? How much should go to magazine ads, and in which magazines ŌĆö fly fishing magazines, golfing magazines, outdoor magazines, travel magazines?
A sample marketing plan developed by the Brandon Agency presented to the tourism board late last year is now under review.
ŌĆ£We are massaging it and will go back to them and massage it again until we think it is right,ŌĆØ said Clifford Meads, marketing chairman for the tourism board and manager of High Hampton Inn and Country Club in Cashiers.
Another big question to be addressed is who will carry out the various pieces of a strategic marketing plan.
ŌĆ£How do you implement a comprehensive marketing plan on the ground?ŌĆØ Edwards said. ŌĆ£There are options on the table as we move forward, and the execution is yet to be determined.ŌĆØ
The Jackson tourism authority has no executive director or paid staff of its own but instead outsources the various aspects of its work.
On the tactical side ŌĆö answering phone and email inquiries from the prospective travelers, printing and distributing visitor guides, managing web site content, and so on ŌĆö the daily boots-on-the-ground operations are carried out under contracts with the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce and the Cashiers Chamber of Commerce.
The tourism authority also contracts with an outside advertising agency to design ads billing Jackson County as a travel destination and place them in magazines, newspapers, radio, billboards and other avenues. Outside consultants also handle web site development and publicity.
The tourism board must decide whether to continue farming out these various roles to multiple consultants and firms or consolidate them with a single agency.
Or, in the future, the Jackson tourism authority may need to have a director and in-house staff of its own.
ŌĆ£At some point in time this thing is going to be big enough that it will need an executive director to marshal all these initiatives,ŌĆØ Meads said.
But Meads and other tourism board members agree they arenŌĆÖt there yet.
ŌĆ£There is currently no plan to hire staff,ŌĆØ Jumper said.
The new countywide tourism agency formed last year was charged with thinking and acting cohesively. Historically, there were two tourism entities: one for Cashiers and one for Jackson as a whole.
But the idea was tourism marketing would be more effective under one banner. The forced mash-up had a few hiccups its first year ŌĆö from political to logistical.
But progress is being made.
ŌĆ£We are barely walking. We are still crawling,ŌĆØ said Meads. ŌĆ£The idea is to take this thing in bites.ŌĆØ
By the numbers: Jackson tourism budget
A 4-cent tax on overnight accommodations will bring in about $650,000 this year for Jackson County tourism efforts. ThatŌĆÖs more than anticipated, thanks to an increase in tourism over last year. The tourism authority conservatively budgeted for $600,000 in spending this fiscal year.
HereŌĆÖs a breakdown of the budget.
ŌĆóŌĆé$261,000: advertising and marketing campaign
ŌĆóŌĆé$74,000: Cashiers Visitor Center operations and overhead
ŌĆóŌĆé$81,000: Jackson County Visitor Center operations and overhead
ŌĆóŌĆé$28,000: printing, mainly for brochures
ŌĆóŌĆé$22,000: postage, mainly for sending travel guides to prospective visitors
ŌĆóŌĆé$8,000: 800-number phone line for visitor inquiries
ŌĆóŌĆé$15,000: grants to support special events and festivals
ŌĆóŌĆé$32,000: public relations/media outreach
ŌĆóŌĆé$15,000: special projects and contingency
ŌĆóŌĆé$38,000: financial and accounting services through the county, including billing and tax collection
ŌĆóŌĆé$26,000: general overhead, including insurance, travel, office supplies, insurance, and audit

A sure-fire solution for all of your tackle storage needs, the Plano Stowaway Mixed 3-pack is ideal for keeping fishing gear safe and organized. The popular Plano 3700 is the traditional size container and one of the most widely used amongst anglers. Its size and easy customization make it a classic that is able to store terminal tackle, hardbaits, and plastics. The Plano 3701 is a slimmed down version of the 3700 and is perfect for storing smaller hooks, weights, and finesse baits.

Hi Girls,
My baby has 4 weeks old now and since he wasn't latch on I'm exclusively pumping now. I'm pumping for each feeding (every 3 hours) but I'm just getting 2.5 onces each time, sometimes in the middle of the night I can get 3 onces, but not more than that (in total!, it's not from each breast).
Now I'm afraid about my milk supply... I believe that I need to increase it as seems that he wants more than I'm having now... Any suggestion about schedules to pump or how to increase?
I'm doing every 3 hours and 15 minutes. I'm thinking about doing every 2 hours, at least during the day... But I'm not sure if it's fine or not and if he is getting enough with those 2.5 onces...
Any ideas?

NEW YORK AND PENNSYLVANIA — Looking for inspiration lately? Some good news to balance the bad? How about this: six women from New York and Pennsylvania walking 90 miles in one week, battling blisters, dealing with darkness, rising with the sun and taking to the road again—all to raise awareness of the sacredness of water and land.
From Buttermilk Falls in Neversink, NY to Salt Spring State Park, near Montrose, PA, the women carried water in Amphora, a vessel crafted by Trisha Kooman. There was no lack of water on the walk, as rain greeted the women nearly every day, even showing up in tears and nourishing beverages like the hemlock and birch tea prepared by local herbalist Nathaniel Whitmore at the home of Thomas deerheart and Maya Minwah in Lake Como, PA.
Just after 9 p.m. last Tuesday, deerheart was obtaining something from his truck in a cold, pelting rain. From the darkened road he heard a greeting—"Helloooooo." Coming toward him were Chrys Countryman and Joy Ohrvall, dripping with rainwater, but beaming nonetheless.
"I can still see this most incredible smile from ear to ear on both of their faces," said deerheart. "They were so present, grounded and full of all the natural elements of their journey, two incredible women on a walkabout, wide-eyed and gloriously full of human spirit. Joy was clutching the Amphora and Chrys held aloft the staff of ribbons."
The women were graciously hosted by the Inn at Starlight Lake that evening, then returned to the home of deerheart, a drummer, and Maya Minwah, an alchemist and shaman, in the early morning to share cornbread, roasted pumpkin seeds, fresh fruits and spirited discussion. Minwah anointed the women's feet with rose water and Oil of Magdalene.
Memorable moments were recounted. "A young man on a scooter stopped and asked, incredulously, 'Do you need a ride? I saw you in Liberty and you're still walking!'" laughed Bess Path. "Every time we walk past a cow pasture, they all watch us," said Chrys Countryman. "I feel like they know what we're doing. And they're grateful."
Hard-won insights were shared. "Walking brings you to center; it brings you to presence," said Path. "It enables you to see solutions to complex problems," added D'Angelo-Karpe.
A song about the balancing of the water was led by deerheart and followed by drumming as the women began their next 15-mile stint. Two days earlier, the walkers were celebrated community-style at a potluck gathering of approximately 80 people in Callicoon, NY.
"The people in that community made our hearts sing," said Countryman. "It's a community that really gets it. They love each other so much. It was evident how much they love where they live."
"I was so touched by that community," added Path. "It made me hopeful. They care so much about their land and their water. And not just theirs. That is a memory that I will carry forever."
The women also paid a visit to the water-powered WJFF radio state in Jeffersonville, NY where they were interviewed by Lisa Brody on her show, Gift of Peace. (Hear the show at www.wjffradio.org/wjff/index.php?section=38 [1]. Click on the April 17 recording).
"We're walking about water, but it's also about food and indigenous culture and respecting the wisdom we can work from. It's all connected," said Countryman. "We're aware that there are people around the world who have to walk to get their water and carry enough to use for their families. We recognize that we're privileged and we're grateful for this."
The women and their Amphora arrived safely in Salt Spring State Park on April 22. Funds raised during the walk are being used to support testing of water, air and land (www.shaletest.org [2]). Visit www.walkaboutwater.blogspot.com [3].
