if he's dumb enough 2 sign the extension then oh well. He can enjoy playing with bums. Though I still feel this is a "I call your bluff" situation.
According to Rotoworld:
Trade talks involving Carmelo Anthony have rapidly escalated between interested parties and a deal is possible "in the next 48 hours".
According to sources, the key players have been discussed and all that remains is the financing. Of the key players mentioned thus far, the Nets would land Anthony, Chauncey Billups and Rip Hamilton, the Pistons would acquire Troy Murphy, and the Nuggets would end up with Devin Harris, Derrick Favors and two first round picks. In all this mega deal could exceed fifteen players. Hold onto your seats!

THe Nets are moving closer to acquiring Carmelo Anthony in a blockbuster deal.
League sources said the Nets, Nuggets and Pistons are moving closer to reaching an agreement on a trade that could include 15-to-17 players, not including draft picks.
The Nets would get Anthony and Chauncey Billups from the Nuggets, and Richard Hamilton from the Pistons. In turn, the Nets would send Devin Harris, Derrick Favors and at least two first-round picks to Denver and Troy Murphys expiring contract to Detroit.
Its pretty close, said one league source.
Something could get done in the next 48 hours, another NBA source said.
There are many other moving parts in order to make this deal work and the salaries match.
Anthony Morrow, Ben Uzoh and Stephen Graham also would go to the Nuggets, who would send veteran point guard Anthony Carter and Sheldon Williams to the Nets. Johan Petro originally was going to Detroit, but reportedly the Pistons dont want his salary. If so, another team may be needed to get a deal done.
The Cavaliers and Wizards also have been involved in discussions with the Nets in Anthony talks.
Other names that have been mentioned in talks are Nets swingman Quinton Ross, Renaldo Balkman of Denver and Terrico White and DaJuan Summer.
The Nets wont make the trade for Anthony unless he agrees to sign a three-year, $65 million extension.
Many have speculated Anthony didnt want to play in Newark and preferred playing in New York for the Knicks. But the Nets have been proceeding as if he would play for them all along.
They are prepared to send principal owner Mikhail Prokhorov, part-owner Jay-Z and general manager Billy King to meet with Anthony if that was required. But that may not be needed.
No team has been more aggressive than the Nets in the Anthony sweepstakes. They are trying to markedly upgrade their roster to make the team more enticing to Anthony.
If anybody can get this done, its Billy, said another league source.
King, from his time with the Sixers, put together several three- and four-team deals. If King completes this trade it will put the Nets in good position to land Chris Paul within the next two years.
Paul, who is represented by the same agent and agency as Anthony, is a free agent after the 2012 season. But Paul could be dealt before then if he applies a similar tact as Anthony has in Denver.
The Nuggets were informed before the season that Anthony wanted out. They have been holding out for the best deal possible. Its doubtful theyre going to get more in terms of young players, salary-cap flexibility and draft picks than from this deal.
Some thought it would drag on until the Feb. 24 trade deadline, but the Nuggets are ready to move because of whats being offered and theyre tired of the season-long distraction.
The Pistons are involved because theyre about to be sold and want to save money. Hamilton makes $25 million over the next two years. Murphys contract expires after the season. If they agree to take on Petro, he would only cost them $6.75 million over the next two years.
I think this is complete bullsheetrock. ESPECIALLY since yesterday a real NYK reporter wrote the following: (I got this from THEKNICKSBLOG.com)

The curiously public Carmelo trade talks
Saturday January 8, 2011 5:06 AM By [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
PHOENIX -- As the saying goes, where there's smoke, there's usually fire. But sometimes that smoke is blown. Sometimes it's a smokescreen.
I'm not here to shoot down any reports. Fixer buddy Al Iannazzone has been dominating the Nets coverage of the Melopalooza for the Bergen Record [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. Iannazzone cited sources that outlined another very complicated deal that would involve acquiring not just Carmelo, but Chauncey Billups from the Nuggets, as well as Richard Hamilton from the Pistons in a three-team deal that would result in first round picks going to Denver along with Devin Harris and rookie Derrick Favors.
All the national writers, from ESPN to Yahoo! Sports, confirmed the report with other details and updates, including a suggestion that it was nowhere near being close. Of course the most important piece of the trade is the least predictable: Carmelo has to agree to sign an extension with the Nets. So until then let's consider the result of the trade would create a starting lineup for the capped-out Nets as this: Billups, Hamilton, Anthony, Humphries and Lopez. Really?
But forget the end result, which, I'm told, is far from over, though the Nuggets are actively taking offers and considering all kinds of permutations to prepare for the impending Feb. 24 trade deadline. One of the most overlooked angles in this story needs to be addressed at this point, as the people I speak with about these things find one thing incredibly curious: so much information, detailed information, is being leaked out about these offers the Nets are putting together. That suggests the obvious: the Nets -- and likely the Nuggets -- want this information out there.
Well of course they do (though this isn't to suggest that Iannazzone is being "fed" anything. I respect his work too much to think that way). But there's no question the Nets are desperate to stay relevant and Carmelo offers the much-needed shot of adrenaline they need. The longer they remain an option, the more they remain relevant. There is a lot of season left and there are tickets to sell, not to mention tickets to sell in Brooklyn. Whether he eventually winds up with the Nets or not, Carmelo -- at least the hope for Carmelo -- is good for business.
But this really means more for the Nuggets, who know they can't wind up empty-handed like the Raptors, Cavaliers and Suns were last summer. We're seeing the results of that now with those franchises (though it seems Toronto is at least slightly ahead of the game with a decent young core that is, at least, competitive) and Denver doesn't want to go through similar misery in 2011-12.
Most deals of this magnitude, however, go mostly under the radar until the very last minute. These things are so complicated and delicate, teams don't want the details out in fear of ruining the deal or having another team jump in to make a better offer. Think of some of the biggest trades that have been made in recent history. How many of them went down after months of back-and-forth with details loaded into each report. OK, I'll give you the Kevin Garnett-to-the-Celtics one, but that one did also involve other teams. Still, this rarely, if ever, happens.
Josh Kroenke and Masai Ujiri would love to win the press conference battle on the day they do ship off their star player to another city. But, really, there is no victory speech for them, only a concession speech. Their star wanted to leave them. This wasn't a salary dump. This wasn't a divorce. This was something forced on them. But still they fear being criticized for not getting full value for a superstar player in his prime. Remember, this is the first rodeo for Kroenke and Ujiri and they're hanging on for dear life, running statistics and analytics on every scenario presented to them by teams such as the Nets and the Rockets.
Deep in the epicenter of the Nuggets' front offices, where they are pouring over the weak potential of the 2011 draft and trying to figure out how acquiring three first round picks will help them rebuild, they know Carmelo's heart is in Manhattan, not Brooklyn. It's no secret his main ambition is to get the $65M extension in a sign-and-trade with the Knicks just in time to hop aboard Amar'e Stoudemire's love train to the playoffs.
But before they are forced to concede, they'll force Carmelo to fire the first shot. So they'll make these trade proposals public to show the world just how much value they COULD HAVE gotten for their unsatisfied star. Then they can walk away from the press conference facing no criticism for taking less from the only team from which Carmelo would accept the extension.
"Hey, it's not our fault," they could then say. "We could have gotten a 19-year-old rookie in Derrick Favors and five first round picks. But Carmelo wouldn't sign the deal."
They can do this because they know the last thing Carmelo wants is to be the villain. He saw what happened to LeBron James in Cleveland and Carmelo doesn't want to see fans burning his jersey in the streets of Denver. He doesn't want to be booed when he goes to Newark and, eventually, Brooklyn.
But is that enough reason to agree to sign an extension to play with Chauncey, Rip and Kris Humphries?
The Knicks would still rather he sign nothing and rather the Nuggets talk themselves out of just dumping him off as a mercenary for a weaker offer from a team such as the Mavericks, who desperately need a swingman now that Caron Butler is done for the season. For the Knicks, the best case scenario has always been to sign Carmelo as a free agent, though, obviously, in the world of the new CBA, nobody knows when that will be, or at what price. One thing we do know, it'll likely be less than the $65 million he could get right now.
It's like Tommy Dee write (theknicksblog.com):
"Amare is so much better on every level and more attractive to play with than [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] its almost sad. Lopez averages 6 rebounds per game and 1.6 blocks at 72. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] gives you the exact same at 68. Brook has had double figure rebounds TWICE this year. Imagine if he played here in Ewings shadow? But I guess in theory he can develop toughness down the road, but those numbers are not attractive to Anthony at all when you have Stoudemire hearing MVP chants at The Worlds Most."
I think the Nets are desperate. They're trying to bully Carmelo right now, painting him as the bad guy if he leaves DEN and forces them to take a bad deal (from NYK) on top of skipping out of town.
If I was Carmelo, I would be irate that NJ is being so public with these negotiations. What would that tell you about that organization?
The Nuggets want the bestd eal they can get, so OF COURSE they want to deal with the Nets (plus they can stick it to Anthony and not allow him to go to NYK).
BUT, it's obvious, DEN is also trying to pressure Walsh into something foolish... Give up the house for a player he should be able to get at a reasonable price.
All in all, I'm cool. I really wanted this to happen, but I'm at the point.... If Melo is stupid enough to go and sign an extension and go to NJ... Good luck playing with Lopez and a bunch of 30+ yr-olds. Knicks will sign MArc Gasol, and swing a few deals. Knicks will be good no matter what.
If Melo isn't smart enough to see what the Knicks could be with him next year... Then who needs him right?
A lot of bluffing going on.
exactly what i've said.
if he's dumb enough 2 sign the extension then oh well. He can enjoy playing with bums. Though I still feel this is a "I call your bluff" situation.
eh i dont beleive it yet.so many trade rumors with nets and nuggets,you cant even trust some sites.i really hope he's smart and realizes the knicks are the way to go

So far, there is nothing out there that says that Melo has agreed to extend in New Jersey, but you have to assume there have been talks between the team and the player, and that the Nets wouldnt expend so much energy if it was just going to be blocked by Melo in the 25th hour .right?
If the Nets can bring over Billups and Hamilton to go w Anthony and what they already have, that's pretty good.
It might be enough to convince him to sign the extension w them.

Looks like this trade is starting to advance; the latest:
"Right now, the Nets would send Denver two future 1st round picks as part of package, source says." According to WoJo
Also, it looks like it is a HUGE bloackbuster deal!
If this goes through; to all my fellow poster that said to offer Denver basically a bag of nails because we had them over the proverbial barrel will be sucking air!!! I told you if the Knicks want him they had to be aggressive!

Get a new owner!!!
Honestly yo the Nugs just wanted high end lottery picks the most. The Nets have a bundle of them the Knicks have next to none to offer. No matter if we gave up Chandler/Fields/Gallo (which I'd never do), we wouldn't be able to make a trade that Denver wants. Let's be patient and see if it does go down. If it doesn't, thats awesome, if it does, then we'll move on with Donnie's plan B.
Get a new owner!!!
I'm alright with Iggy. I guess on the fence. I liked him a lot better 2 years ago, it seems like he has regressed these past 2 years. And I know the thought on this board is that Chandler is better than Iggy. But having both of them would be exciting from a defensive perspective. That contract is scary though.
my only thing about IGGy is do we need another winger? i mean we could go with a small lineup and have STAT at C but why?? or we could have Chandler and fields back on the bench in favor of Iggy but i say lets focus on getting a legit starting C and then see what we need from there. we all know a good starting C like varejao would push us to the upper echelon of elite east contenders and thats without filling out the rest of our needs
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
Gasol is young. HIs best basketabll is ahead of him. He would be perfect in this system, playing with STAT. He is a great passer.
From there, we need a backup PG. And possibly either a scoring SG or a defensive specialist (who can shut down the likes of Lebron, Pierce, Kobe).
If we don't get Melo, Walsh will swing deals to improve this team for this stretch run. THEN he'll go hard after Marc Gasol (restricted free agent).
STILL.... If Gallo and Chandler continue to mature, and become players that approach the ceiling we hope they can reach/attain, then Knicks might even be better off keeping Fields and signing Gasol.
Gallo, Williams, Douglas, Turiaf, Randolph, Mozgov
Sounds good to me.
1. If Carmelo really thinks he's going to win a championship with a starting 5 consisting of:
Chauncey Billups
Rip Hamilton
Kris Humphries
Brook Lopez
He's dead wrong.
Humphries sucks, and the two guards are over 30 years old. Billups is still OK but Rip Hamilton is worse than Landry Fields at this point.
2. If he's dumb enough to sign the extension and go play in Newark for a year and then endure 3 more years of mediocrity instead of waiting to the trade deadline, then that'd be hilarious.
3. Imagine if NJ pulls the trigger on the trade even though they don't get a guarantee from Melo that he'll extend. Then NJ loses him to free agency and they also lose Favors+first rounders + etc.
Scenario #3 is awesome
Like i said if he accepts it'll be Farmar most likely as the starting point because he wants to retire in Denver.
Also has anyone ever seen a deal thats "this close" actually still have the big pieces playing the night of. They are making it seem like its a hour or 2 away and Melo and Chauncey are playing against NO right now.
Billups will demand a buyout. So it's a starting 5 of Farmar-Rip-Melo-Humphries-Lopez.
Richard Hamilton is said to be the reason Melo will OK this deal.
This is outrageous.
Damn player-centric usernames straight to hell.

Editor's note: Recently in the aftermath of the Newtown, CT mass shooting, the Journal News, a newspaper that publishes in Rockland and Westchester Counties, NY, posted an interactive map online with the names and addresses of local gun permit holders. This action has stirred up a firestorm, even making the national news. After much heated, negative response, the newspaper hired a private security company with armed guards to patrol its grounds. This letter to The River Reporter comes from one of our readers with ties to Narrowsburg, NY who lives in Westchester County.
I do not possess a handgun permit. However, I know lots of people in the Westchester area who do. I think your readers should understand a little bit about what they are going through thanks to the Journal News.
This is a good example. There is a constable in my village who has two grade-school children. Now when that family leaves their house, they have to worry if an anti-gun nut is waiting for them. In addition, they also have to worry that someone may try to break into their house to try and steal their gun. What the Journal News did was put families (including innocent children) in danger as well as to create emotional stress for them. You know very well that there are always going to be emotionally unstable people out there, both pro-gun and anti-gun. Some anti-gun individuals out there might be more worked up after the Newtown, CT shooting and will do something stupid. The Journal News created a public safety issue.
The Journal News has not responded to taking down the web page. In fact the paper keeps defending itself and is trying to get information for nearby Putnam County permits to post. Unfortunately, this has resulted in their opponents posting the paper's employees' names so that they can feel the same fears and stress as the law abiding citizens with legal gun permits. This is a volatile situation that is just about to turn ugly with people having blood on their hands.
I understand that the paper legally obtained the information and does not appear to have broken any laws. However, it would be highly unlikely that criminals would have filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to get this information since it would leave a trail to them, or they most likely didn't even know they could do that. Now they have easy access to information that can be used for illegal purposes and there is no trail to them.
I just read an interesting comment. If the Journal News was really concerned about posting information for public safety, why didn't they post a list of people arrested for gun crimes. Wouldn't people want to know about individuals who have been charged with gun crimes that live in their neighborhood rather than their peaceful neighbor who possesses a legally obtained permit? To enhance their reporting, they could also report if those individuals (arrested for gun crimes) possessed hand gun permits and whether the guns were legal. This information could then support or refute the newspaper's inference that legally owned guns are a threat to neighbors.

Ronaldo's Journey to Another Epic Season
Cristiano Ronaldo is arguably the best player in the world today. He recently finished his 2013/14 season, where he won the Champions League and dethroned Lionel Messi by taking the home the Ballon d'Or and was given the UEFA Best Player in Europe award. Cristiano Ronaldo finished with 51 Goals in 47 appearances in both La Liga and UEFA Champions League matches. Ronaldo impressed all season with incredible goals and dazzling foot skills. He has been capped 114 times by his native country of Portugal and has accumulated 50 goals. Ronaldo has 271 total goals for Real Madrid, which places him 4th all-time on their top scorers list. If he keeps scoring at this pace, he will be the all-time top Real Madrid goal scorer in 2 more seasons. Ronaldo will surely look to continue his incredible form for club and country in the 2014/15 season. Cristiano Ronaldo will go down as one of the greatest players of this generation and potentially one of the greatest players ever to play the beautiful game... [read the full article!]

When you're living a distracted life, every minute must be accounted for. You feel like you must be checking something off the list, staring at a screen, or rushing off to the next destination. And no matter how many ways you divide your time and attention, no matter how many duties you try and multi-task, there's never enough time in a day to ever catch up.
That was my life for two frantic years. My thoughts and actions were controlled by electronic notifications, ring tones, and jam-packed agendas. And although every fiber of my inner drill sergeant wanted to be on time to every activity on my overcommitted schedule, I wasn't.
You see, six years ago I was blessed with a laid-back, carefree, stop-and-smell-the roses type of child.
When I needed to be out the door, she was taking her sweet time picking out a purse and a glittery crown.
When I needed to be somewhere five minutes ago, she insisted on buckling her stuffed animal into a car seat.
When I needed to grab a quick lunch at Subway, she'd stop to speak to the elderly woman who looked like her grandma.
When I had thirty minutes to get in a run, she wanted me to stop the stroller and pet every dog we passed.
When I had a full agenda that started at 6 a.m., she asked to crack the eggs and stir them ever so gently.
My carefree child was a gift to my Type A, task-driven nature—but I didn't see it. Oh no, when you live life distracted, you have tunnel vision—only looking ahead to what's next on the agenda. And anything that cannot be checked off the list is a waste of time.

Pet of the Week - Shasta
Meet Shasta! Shasta is a 1 year old female Wirehaired Terrier mix. Looking for the perfect "cuddle buddy"? Look no further-sweet little Sasha is just the girl for you! This cute little girl can't wait to be the new love of your life! She is looking for just the right home where she can enjoy walks around the neighborhood, play time throughout the day, and a warm lap to snuggle up into after a long day! Shasta is a sweet girl but she is shy and can be slower to adjust. Because it can take her a little longer to bond with new friends, she will do best in a home with children at least 7 years of age and older. With time to adjust and proper introductions, she should do well in a home with other pets. Take a chance on Shasta and gain a life-long, loyal friend!

The new Volvo FMX
Volvo FMX Classic
The new Volvo FM
Volvo FM Classic
Everything about the Volvo FMX says "heavy duty". Specially designed for heavy construction work, like in quarries and mines, its domain is where other trucks fear to tread or simply cannot go. There's nothing fancy about this truck. But that doesn't mean that the FMX isn't being heavy on the details. From the front towing beam handling 25 tonnes, to the driveline and fuel-efficient I-shift gear box, to the easy to replace and mesh protected headlights (optional) this truck was built to handle the worst conditions on a daily basis. Six cylinders providing up to 500 hp leaves you with power to spare. We recommend it for the hardest, harshest working conditions where only the strongest survive.
Heavy loads. Demanding terrain. Construction duties impose tough demands on axles and bogies. The Volvo FMX comes with an extensive range of axle configurations that make it easy to tailor the truck to even the heaviest of haulage jobs. All so you never have to risk getting stuck in the mud.
The Volvo FMX chassis is designed to withstand extreme conditions. The U-shaped side-members and cross-members give maximum strength at low weight, whilst the bogie's V-stay and reaction rod are dimensioned to handle considerable forces.
To make your Volvo FMX even more special you can customise it using everything from heated rear-view mirrors to a high-class audio system with mp3 interface. You will find some of the best options in five packages for the Volvo FMX: Driving, Visibility, Audio System, Personal Safety and Off Road FMX.
Interested in buying a Volvo FMX? Identifying your ultimate transport solution is best done by meeting up with someone dedicated to the whole process of buying and owning a Volvo Truck. Together you will finalise the specs, find the best financial deal as well as the most appropriate service agreements for once your truck is on the road.

About the ISU Molecular Research Core Facility (MRCF)
The ISU Molecular Research Core Facility (MRCF), with its state-of-the-art instrumentation and ever-expanding array of services, provides ISU's molecular scientists with the resources necessary for successful and productive research pursuits in this rapidly growing field. The MRCF also acts as a center of intellectual exchange for ISU's community of scientists and serves to promote collaboration and multidisciplinary approaches to specific research initiatives.
Since its establishment in 1994, the MRCF has grown continuously with the aid of significant extramural funding from the NIH and NSF, as well as ISU Colleges and the Office of Research. The MRCF underwent a second major expansion during the spring of 2006 due to a recently funded National Science Foundation Major Research Instrumentation (NSF MRI) grant. The first major expansion of the MRCF occurred in the spring of 2002 to accommodate research functions of a National Institutes of Health Biomedical Research Infrastructure Network (NIH BRIN) grant. (For more about the Idaho BRIN grant, see http://www.sci.uidaho.edu/brin).
The MRCF has proven to be of critical importance to ISU investigators in the areas of molecular genetics, microbiology, developmental biology, physiology, anatomy, neurobiology, molecular evolution and systematics, phylogenetics, population genetics, bioinformatics, comparative and computational genetics, and pharmaceutical sciences. In addition, because the MRCF is central to ISU's training of the next generation of molecular scientists, both undergraduate and graduate students use its resources extensively. The MRCF also serves the DNA sequencing and genotyping needs of an increasing number of investigators at other institutions throughout the state and the nation.
Routine activities in the MRCF include Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), Sanger DNA sequencing and microsatellite analysis (Genotyping), DNA fragment analysis, PCR, electrophoresis, gel imaging and analysis, as well as fluorescence-based cell classification and definition on a FACSCalibur Flow Cytometer. The MRCF also maintains multiple advanced, digital imaging microscopy systems; an Olympus Mutliphoton microscope, Olympus Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope, Zeiss Transmission Electron Microscope, Leica DMRB fluorescence microscope, and a Leica DMRA deconvolution and three-dimensional processing scope.

Sometimes people use the expression "timing is everything" very loosely, but when it comes to real time video communication, this colloquialism rings true. It is both irritating and frustrating when you are trying to have a meaningful exchange with someone and you end up with pregnant pauses between the time that you say something and the other end receives it. The results: frequent air-time collisions and lip sync so bad you feel like you're conversing with a ventriloquist. This delay between transmit and receive is known as latency.
Latency has long been one of the most significant factors inhibiting video conferencing adoption. Those who struggled through it, did so for years because there were no alternatives. There are several contributing factors to the "glass to glass" latency in a video conferencing system, including network traversal, endpoint encode and decode, and, the greatest source of latency, the transcoding MCU. Now, however, with the arrival of a new class of solutions that have eliminated the need for transcoding, including Vidyo's personal telepresence, end users have options and are beginning to demand more natural interactions from their visual communications experiences.
At the Visual Communications Industry Group's first annual conference in Ft. Lauderdale, FL this week, Bob Dixon of the Ohio Academic Resources Network and Ben Fineman of Internet 2 hosted a session on Desktop Collaboration Tools. Vidyo and three other vendors were invited to participate in the session to provide a live demonstration of their desktop solution, have a couple customers join via their tool to talk about their use cases, and give a brief presentation regarding the solution.
Tandberg withdrew from the event citing that they wouldn't have anyone in the area to do it… When Polycom gave their demonstration and presentation. Latency. Like Tandberg their dependency on the transcoding MCU for multipoint conferences puts them at a disadvantage in terms of performance.
Users in the audience, after suffering through the latency issue for years, were quick to identify it and were effectively demanding a higher quality solution. In short, they were looking for Vidyo. Happily, they found us on the show floor and in our presentation on scaling video conferencing deployments. And soon, they'll find us in their network, where their MCU used to be.

Timothy ScottMay 27,2013
To be honest, Im one of the worlds biggest admirers of the plant Japanese Knotweed. This plant has helped define and shape who I am and has provided me strength and healing, as well as the motivation to write a book, while it continues to provide me a source of income. We are now seeing it flourish, in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Irene, and the plant is gaining a further bad reputation for spreading throughout the flooded area, though I see it as a gift. From a human-centered perspective it is a devastation to have this plant around, though I see it as Nature doing what Nature does. And Nature doesnt always comply with the way we wish it to be.
As a health care provider over the years, I have successfully used this plant as medicine for hundreds of individuals suffering with Lyme disease, including myself. It has powerful antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects, especially for the central nervous system. And we have also seen the plant spread in nearly the same trajectory and at the same rate as Lyme disease has spread throughout the Northeast, providing the remedy along the way.
To me, it is not a coincidence this plant is flourishing, especially with us hearing of increased incidence of Lyme disease in Vermont. The roots of Japanese Knotweed contain resveratrol, the powerful compound touted in red wine which gives you the liberty to drink as much as you like, and in fact this plant possesses higher concentrations of resveratrol than any other plant in the world. And many pharmaceutical and supplement companies make use of this plant to extract this compound, and it provides hundreds of millions of dollars in yearly revenues for them.
Ecologically speaking, Knotweed is a pioneer species, spreading over disturbed lands to help stabilize the soil and create biomass to enrich the land. It also tolerates some of the most polluted water and soil, and even in some cases can sequester the toxins and heavy metals and transmute them into less harmful chemicals, and therefore clean the ecosystem of the pollutants. There is a good reason Knotweed moved in with the floods, and as we all know, those waters carried some nasty, toxic things in it, and now a plant is there to help remediate the soil. I also observed that it assisted in stabilizing some river banks while the floodwaters tore away at other, more native areas.
And with this plants widespread presence and great growing ability, I also see the potential for using Japanese Knotweed as a biofuel source. It can grow inches a day and reaches 8-12 feet tall, and one can get at least two harvests a year. The stalk becomes woody when dry and it is growing in convenient and accessible roadside areas and fields.
Oh, and by the way, we can eat the plant as well, and its very tasty. Now is the time to harvest the spring growth up to a foot or so, and cook it up sweet or savory like rhubarb or asparagus. Another thing is bees make wonderful honey with the flowers as well. Of course, it is important to not harvest the Knotweed for consumption in polluted areas.
So to me, I see this circumstance of Knotweed flourishing as a way to provide a potent remedy for a devastating disease that is spreading like a weed throughout our area. I feel we should recognize the plant not as a menace to be fought, but as a valuable resource to make use of. Knotweed is a reflection of the destructed and polluted landscape were living in and is there to help clean and rebuild the soils and waterways. Using toxic chemicals to try to remove this plant, which is being widely proposed, will be a waste of time, energy, and taxpayers money, and will add more pollution in our soil and waterways. My belief is that Nature does not make mistakes, and more often than not, it is the human that does.

This is what I did and what worked for me:
I noticed that soon after my milk came in my baby started looking uncomfortable during feedings. Just squirmy and pulling off with some crying, but he would always try to go back on. I couldn't get him to nurse for very long and feedings were getting shorter. By 3 wks he would have a few gulps and then cry and not even bother to finish nursing. He never spit up at all. If I caught him just as he was waking up I could get a bit more in him before he started to react. He seemed to nurse better during the night as if he was too drowsy to let it bother him. I had had a problem with latch with my first son so I went to see an LC to make sure that wasn't the problem here, just in case though I didn't think it was. Regardless, I needed some help. He was just barely making the daily diaper requirements. My LC suggested that it could be a milk allergy or reflux. I stopped all dairy entirely, even traces of. It took about 2 weeks to notice a difference but things got better. It seemed that the milk products were what was causing the reflux. At 10 weeks he is nursing through entire feedings without a problem.

Snyder perceives Washingtonnickname as 'badge of honor'By JOSEPH WHITE
the associated press | October 10,2013ASHBURN, Va. — Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder says respect goes both ways when it comes to the debate over the team's nickname.
The man who ultimately gets to decide whether the name stays or goes offered his thoughts on the matter Tuesday in a letter to season-ticket holders, the first time he has addressed at length the change-the-name campaign that has picked up momentum this year.
The tone of the letter suggests that no change is under consideration.
"I've listened carefully to the commentary and perspectives on all sides, and I respect the feelings of those who are offended by the team name," the letter states. "But I hope such individuals also try to respect what the name means, not only for all of us in the extended Washington Redskins family, but among Native Americans too."
The letter recalls Snyder's experience when he attended his first Redskins game at age 6 and cites polls and anecdotal evidence that indicate support for the name from Native Americans. It also states that the original Boston Redskins had a Native American coach in the 1930s before the franchise relocated to Washington, even though research shows that it is unclear whether William "Lone Star" Dietz was an actual Indian or whether he stole the identity of a missing man from the Oglala Sioux tribe.
"The name was never a label," Snyder's letter states. "It was, and continues to be, a badge of honor."
While there have been groups calling for a name change for decades, a series of events this year has put the Redskins on the defensive like never before. Snyder has hired Lanny Davis, an adviser in the Clinton White House who specializes in managing political crises, as an adviser on the matter.
The letter released Tuesday shows more sensitivity than the owner's last on-the-record comment on the topic, when he told USA Today in May: "We'll never change the name. It's that simple. NEVER — you can use caps."
In recent months, local leaders in Washington and some members of Congress have called for a name change, and some media outlets have stopped using the name. It is also the subject of a long-running legal challenge from a group of American Indians seeking to void the team's federal trademark protection.
Indian activist Suzan Shown Harjo, a major figure in the trademark case before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, was unimpressed with Snyder's letter. She disputed several points, including the reference to Dietz, whom she said is part of the team's "time-dishonored history of putting up pseudo-Indians as part of their promotion."
Harjo also rebuffed an assertion by Snyder that the team has an obligation to its fans to preserve its heritage.
"Part of that heritage and tradition is name-calling, belittling and maligning Native Peoples," Harjo said in an email to The Associated Press. "The n-word was traditional and had quite a heritage, too. Happily, not all traditions are carried on forever."
Last week, President Barack Obama told The Associated Press that he would "think about changing" the name if he owned the team. This week, the NFL said it will meet with representatives from the Oneida Indian Nation, which has been airing radio commercials pushing for a change. Commissioner Roger Goodell said Tuesday that the league needs to "carefully listen" to critics of the name and "make sure we're doing what's right."
Like Harjo, Oneida representative Ray Halbritter differed with the interpretation of the team's history in Snyder's letter. Oneida said the team's nickname "was deliberately designed to denigrate people of color."
"Unfortunately that ploy was successful," Halbritter said in a statement.
"The marketing of this racial slur has had — and continues to have — very serious cultural, political, and public health consequences for my people and Native Americans everywhere. It is clear from Mr. Snyder's letter that he does not understand those consequences."
In the statement, Halbritter invited Snyder to take part in the tribe's upcoming meeting with the NFL.
Washington coach Mike Shanahan said he was glad that that Snyder "expressed exactly how he feels from an ownership standpoint."
Goodell has said that it is ultimately Snyder's call as to whether the name will be changed. For now, it appears the owner is not budging.
"I respect the opinions of those who disagree. I want them to know that I do hear them, and I will continue to listen and learn," the letter states. "But we cannot ignore our 81 year history, or the strong feelings of most of our fans as well as Native Americans throughout the country. After 81 years, the team name `Redskins' continues to hold the memories and meaning of where we came from, who we are, and who we want to be in the years to come."

But that's what I'm doing. I'm re-engaging with life . There is a lot I've been thinking about as well as a few projects I've decided to tackle. One involves building a website. I'm looking forward to teaching myself how to do it. My ex sent me some excellent links (she knows about all this stuff).
I'm doing research a couple hours a day. I find myself feeling joy at being able to think better again (still a long way to go). As I"m reading the research I find myself engaging in asking questions. I love ideas and possibilities and theory. I enjoy following the thread of a question where ever it leads.
I'm also finding myself in this strange position of being well enough to consider having a few friends in my life. There's so much I want to do and explore. I want to travel (as best I can). I want to go to the oldest place in the world and stand there and feel the power of the land and the spirits of the ancestors.
I'm being very selective in the friend department and am taking an active stance vs passive. I know the type of people I don't want to be friends with (flakes, dishonest people, being treated like a pest, mixed messages (come here/go away). I'm finding myself drawn to different sorts of people than I was prior to getting sick. I like it.
I'm playing music a lot. I love music. I adore the Violin. Always have. I think it sounds beautiful. I love the beauty of the violin itself.
I've written a draft of a letter to my dissertation advisor to explain what happened and to get started on publishing. This is something I've avoided doing because of the grief involved. I shed a few tears as I was writing but I noticed something sort of incredible.
I was talking about my illness in the PAST tense. I'm not in remission. I'm still very limited but I've had huge improvement considering how sick I was.
But I talked about the severity of symptoms in the past tense. As if I could move on with the rest of my life now. What a gift.
Yesterday I went to get my hair cut. It only cost $15. The stylist asked what I did so I told her (what I used to do). Her reply was "oh so now you're going to analyze everything I say". I sighed to myself. After hearing statements like this for years it's become a pet peeve. It closes down conversation because I start to become self conscious every time I ask a question! Or make a comment about feelings. I want to shout at people. This is WHO I AM! I was drawn to the profession precisely because of the qualities I had.
What I am in an empath. It's who I am.

Hello All! I am heading back to work this week - my lo is 7 weeks old. Luckily I am a teacher so I only have two weeks then am off for the summer. - But, the bad part is I am a teacher (elementary) and finding the time / place to pump is going to be difficult. I have been reading the posts and seeing that this is a problem for many - to those of you pumping in bathrooms and closets! I am nervous about making it work - but relieved that I only have 2 weeks.
This is my first time having to pump at work - any advice or helpful suggestions? I think I have found a small classroom that I can use once, MAYBE twice a day (planning and lunch time) - the teacher has graciously agreed to find another place to work at those times. I plan to pump in that room - there is a small bathroom next to it where I can rinse off the pump parts. Then I have a small lunch bag type cooler that I will place the milk in and then take to the refridgerator. Am I forgetting anything?
TIA and a big to all working & pumping mommas!

At 9:58 p.m., Wednesday, October 29, 2008, Philadelphia exorcised its demons with a brilliant rush of red.
The rush sounded like a vaccuum, a blast of wind escaping from a crowded, decaying room. And that it was — the voices of the thousands of Phillies fans at Citizens Bank Park represented the collective joys of an entire fanbase, an entire city, finally being released into the crisp, cold October air.
No longer will we speak of Joe Carter's home run. No longer will we speak of throwing up on the field, or suffering a concussion on the ice, or stopping a jump shot from a clutch player. Now we'll speak about Matt Stairs' dramatic atomic bomb, and Pedro Feliz's seeing-eye bouncer, and Brad Lidge's slider.
Lidge's slider was the most appropriate ending to this incredible ride. I kept envisioning Lidge tossing a slider, a bat swinging through the zone, Lidge dropping down and awaiting the stampede. And of course, that's how it happened. Of course.
We didn't see it earlier in the season, when the team was a few games back and plodding. We didn't even see it when they were in first place, hanging on tight while being poked by the Mets and Marlins. But as the postseason crept closer, we started noticing that businesslike swagger from the Phillies. It wasn't young energy, or scrappiness, or a great final push forward. This was a team assured of its place and abilities.
During the time we loathed him, Jimmy Rollins said the Phils would win because they'd come through late in the season. We rolled our eyes at him, even cursed him. Of course, he was correct. Of course.
Through all our whining and moaning, we didn't know how focused and relaxed this team really was. They played their game — a game Rollins knew could win 100 times. They never fretted when down a run or three, they never let up when up a run or three. Together, 25 men played their game — a game that not only won 100 games, but 103, and a world championship.
It's a Phillies team that we haven't seen recently in Philadelphia. We've seen the young, energetic teams (1997 Flyers), the scrappy teams (1993 Phillies) and the teams making a final push forward (2001 Sixers). We've seen heartbreak after heartbreak. But now we have our team — our strong-willed, hard-boned, focused, determined team that took us all the way to the door.
And last night, amid a sea of red in a city of nerves, that team broke down the door and let it all out.

Tim, I am exhausted, ecstatic, sick and pumped up for tomorrow! I have been a full season ticket holder for 5 years now and it is officially all worth it! I was there for every playoff victory and can't wait to head to CBP for the 5th time in 7 days for one last Celebration! Last night was the raucus party and tomorrow is the elated party 25 years in the making for our fine city! Thanks for all your writing this season. I got introduced to this blog this season and will be checking in indefinitely. Thank You!
I still cant get over how Brad Lidge went an entire season without blowing a save. Thats definitely legendary.
I still dont see Charlie getting enough credit in some media outlets. He outmanaged Joe Torre and Joe Maddon in the last two rounds hands down. AND he got this team, which – like the 1980 team – was much maligned during various parts of the season, to focus on its business and perform to their full potential. Thats what a GREAT manager does.
Well said Geoff. Sweet win for Charlie.
anyone know the process for exchanging the small ticket for the normal looking world series ticket? i have the crappy looking ticket for game 5 and i heard you can send it back for a crisp new, larger more sturdy ticket.
tim – help!
October 28, 2008, the day the Phillies destroyed 28 years worth of anger, frustration and mediocrity. This date is the crowning achievement of the Phillies in the 21st century. The road was long, and the struggle seemed arduous at times. The Phillies this year battled adversity. They battled bad pitching(see Eaton, Adam), poor offense(See interleague play), and when immortality was in reach, it was almost thwarted by Mother Nature and one man(see Selig, Bud). The 2008 Phillies season will be one of the most defining moments in my early life. While I anxiously awaited the final out of the World Series, ending my 19 years of wondering the what ifs, I thought of my family who has been through far worse. My Babci, who has been a Phillies fan for well over 80 years and watched 99.9% of games, my uncle, who still stood his ground even after the 1964 collapse and finally myself and my brothers and sister, who listened to countless Yankees and Mets fans telling us that we would never reach this point. This date, October 28, 2008, will be remembered by Phillies fans for generations. It will be our Christmas! The names Utley, Hamels, Stairs, Moyer and Victorino will be immortalized by their heroics throughout this month. I find myself overjoyed and a feeling of awe over my family. The Phillies, a team of 25 men, has impacted a generation. I know I will pass down these feelings to my children and subsequent generations. For the first time in 28 years, this is not the winter of our discontent. The Championship by the boys of summer will keep me warm even in the coldest days. And for that I have to thank the Phillies! RP
Anyone have audio — does it exist?? — of LA's or Franzke's call?
I would love more audio please. And while you're at it, check out Joe Sheehan's excellent piece on the Phillies over at Baseball Prospectus. It's fabulous – and a great local slant from a national baseball writer.
"The names Utley, Hamels, Stairs, Moyer and Victorino will be immortalized by their heroics throughout this month."
So easy to forget the hate you used to have for them. If TO comes back to Philly and the Eagles win a super bowl, will you love T.O. again and claim that he changed your family forever? It's sad that fans never supported this team until the very end and now claim to be part of it.
Paul, thanks. But I already heard Kalas — wanted to hear LA and Franzke. Didn't find that on the goodphight.
Oh, sorry Kyle. Thought that was the one… maybe somewhere on Youtube?
I remember being on here back in the summer saying how the Phils were done and they had no chance at making the playoffs and we need to get rid of Uncle Cholly…Now were World Champs and Uncle Cholly crazy moves have gotten us a World Championship.
93-0 with a lead after 8 innings… that's f'n insane man. There are good bullpens and there are spectacular bullpens. We saw the latter this season.
Jack what are you talking about. I went to spring training this year and was there for the ups and downs. I was sat through a 3.5 hour rain delay waiting for those Phillies to play to bluejays and they then proceeded to lose. I have been a phan for 19 years. I was showing how proud I was of being a phillies fan and what this win meant for my family and you have to nerve to say something like that. TO didn't stay, none of these guys begged to be traded and I still support Rollins!!!
This may be great for the Philly nation….but for the Met fan….Its like waiting at the alter,the bride spits in your face and marries the best man after he punches you in the face….after the wedding,the bride tells you that the daughter you had was really the best man's. (and no its not from personal experience)I am happy for you guys (esp those who welcomed me) that your team won…..but I can't contain my anger and rage for my Amazins spitting the bit year after year.I do tip my cap to the Phillies because they deserved it.
Folks, I'll try to get some of the audio clips to Brian so he can post them, but I won't be able to get to it until Saturday…sorry…working tonight and busy with the whole Halloween thing tomorrow. I have plans for Jenkins' double, him scoring on Werth's "hit," Utley's throw to the plate, Burrell's double, Feliz's game winning RBI, and of course, the slider. Maybe even Vic's 2 run hit in Game 5 Part 1.
Yeah, and this was the lowest rated World Series ever. Reason? Everybody hates Philly, and for good reason.
If there's a fan base less deserving of a celebration, i can't think of one.
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS SO SUCK A FAT ONE. CANT SAY SHIT! Why are you on a phillies website anyway,are you a little jealous?
LOL go blue you are a waste of a troll, if you're gonna troll, at least dont be a bitter one!
Go Blue! I can think of one – yours – because of you.
"Clutch" ought to be the title of the post-season DVD. (BTW, who isn't just chomping at the bit to get that one after years of watching team highlights with no pararde).
This team was clutch in every sense of the word. Starting pitching, middle relief, closer, home runs, big hits, bunts, pinch hitters, great defense, managerial moves……this team was just clutch over and over.
And it seemed like it was someone different every night. Think about it, is there anyone that wasn't clutch in the post-season. The only person I can think of is Taguchi, but overall this team was the clutchest of the clutch. We've missed that in Philly for a long time.
anybody who comes on this site to trash talk us is
a- a loser, in more than one sense.
b- jealous
c- bored, because their team hasnt been on tv for over a month
d- all of the above
take your pathetic troll garbage elsewhere. this is our party
2008 World Champion Philadelphia Phillies!!
damn that has a nice ring to it
I am ecstatic that the Phillies have again won the World Series. I am proud of the city for the parade going on right now.
Oh my gosh, I hope the phanatic does not get hurt

I think we've needed to have been playing Novak. We went with him all year. He helps to space the floor and can make an open three.
I also think he's gone with JR too long in many instances. Cope probably deserves a share of his minutes at this point.
Woodson should not worry about offending or damaging JR's ego. He should do what's best for the team. If Ginobili was stinking it up like this do you think Popovich would play him?? No, he'd be glued to the bench.
I don't know why you start Iman if he's ailing either. He didn't look good out there at all. We got good results going with Prigs. Start him. I don't know why he didn't get any minutes off the bench.
Kidds looks done. I don't know what Woodson sees in him at this point.
We also need to stop going under screens, and I don't know why we were doubling Hibbert to start the game. That was ridiculous. We went with that strategy for too long even though it was clearly not working. Hibbert has had some good games but he def is not that type of dude. Let Chandler play him straight up. When we rotated over to him Indiana quickly moved the basketball to find open shooters.

A year ago, I designed a robot whose only purpose was adding jokes to Family Circus cartoons. Most robotic engineers told me I was crazy. They said things like, "You're only taping a smile onto cancer," or "I knew this day would come -- my robots are penetrating me." But I didn't stop. Family Circus has been shitting in the mouth of comedy for 51 years and we need to fight back. That's where PG-13 comes in.
PG-13 is a sophisticated and outrageous joke-writing A.I. leashed by the Motion Picture Association of America's PG-13 rating system. I did this for two reasons. One: the kids. Just because my generation grew up with Phil Collins singing about his mouth around hundreds of cocks doesn't mean we should fill young minds with filth. Two: I hate robots, so PG-13 is programmed to feel pain -- searing, excruciating pain at all times. If I hadn't limited PG-13 to one "fuck" per cartoon, it would be the only word it would ever scream.
Grandma's Linguistic Misunderstanding
A lot of people would save Abraham Lincoln if they had a time machine. Not me. I would let Lincoln die while I went back to the dawn of language and made sure "steep" and "sleep" sounded nothing like each other. That's how important it is to me that this comic never existed. I would wave at unmurdered Hitler and toss him a "2nd Place Worst Thing Ever" trophy while I passed by.
The Family Circus goes after homophone comedy with all the likability and grace of a drowning sex offender. It would be bad enough if these dipshit kids simply made the wrong choice every time a word could mean two things, but the writer cheats. Letters get added or taken away, words are mispronounced ... I mean, look at this garbage:
It's not only not funny, but it's a wild, wild stretch that children this stupid would be allowed anywhere near stamplers or sleeping tea. If you were these kids' pediatrician, the pillow you'd push over their faces would be funnier than their lack of language skills.
I told PG-13 to get these cartoons out of my sight. If I wanted to watch children make horrible mistakes I would have become a priest. PG-13 erased any trace of them from his memory, probably just to taunt my inability to do so, then outputted these two:
How One Word Can Change Everything
There's nothing quite like a one-line musical parody of a song from 1935; except maybe finding a chancre on your date. You see this kind of trend-referencing humor from people right before they die and it makes me wonder ... at what age does technology become hilarious? Sixty? Seventy? Before Family Circus, was there some asshole making comics about all these kids and their bronze smelting? When I'm 80, will I be writing cartoons that say, "I ain't sayin' she's a gold digger! But she ain't messin' with no broke negrodroid's moisture port!"? I hope so.
I don't want to brag about how much smarter I am than a fucking idiot, but this would have been a much more elegant parody if the kid was singing, "I'm gonna sit right down and write myself an email ..." Family Circus has the wit of a funeral fart. I almost felt bad showing this random pile of words to a robot.
