There are a few sounds out there that make the hair on the back of your neck stand up and set your nerve endings on fire — the racking of a shotgun, screeching tires, crunching metal or a blood curdling scream.
But I'll wager few things say "Come to Jesus" quite like the hiss of a snake, especially if it's heard but not seen.
"Dude, there's a snake in your house!" I heard from the living room. "It's hissing at me!"
"Yeah, his name is George," my son answered.
But something about his friend's panicked tone told me it wasn't George the lazy ball python that he was referring to. Besides, George doesn't hiss… much.
As I rushed into the room, I observed my son's friend standing on guard, nervously looking toward the window.
"It's over there, behind the curtains," he said.
I ordered them to back away and scrambled for the snake stick (a long metal pole with a hooked end used to control a snake), then inched toward the curtains and used the stick to peel fabric away until I saw him.
While smaller than his hiss, the bull snake still presented a good four-feet of trim, slithering speed.
Not interested in trying to best him, I carefully reached over his angry little head to open the window, and used the stick to evict him.
"How about you eat the mice before they get inside?" I asked him, as he exited in a huff.
Going to sleep after the experience did take a little work, but after 24 hours I had moved on.
Until a day later when I saw tail-o-snake slipping under the door to my son's bedroom.
Now a pro, I twisted it up with the snake stick, shuffled it into a pillow case and deposited it out in the yard.
Terrified by its abduction, the lanky racer just sat and looked at me, and I, in turn, looked at it.
Scars covered its body and its back was bent at an odd angle, no doubt signs of a rough life.
For a moment I felt sympathy and wished that I could bring myself to share my space, and my mouse issues with it — until I thought of us ending up unexpectedly in the same chair.
The drought has been tough on everybody this year, not just humans. Farmers and ranchers will tell you the rabbits have all run out of the fields or starved off and, so, I believe, have the mice.
It makes sense that they will migrate toward homes where us humans continue to eat and generate scraps.
And on their heels are predators, who are equally and just as desperately searching for food.
In recent weeks, animal control officials and law enforcement have received numerous, "There's a snake in my house!" calls from frantic residents.
I listened to one this week in which the dispatcher was trying to give details but the caller was too hysterical to say much more than "snake."
I get it. I like snakes just fine, when I know where they are. What I don't like is surprise snakes.
I came across an old Egyptian proverb that says, "Because we focused on the snake, we missed the scorpion."
Now I'm sure the saying has deep philosophical applicability, but on the surface, it's pretty meaningful too.
Many believe where you have bull snakes, you have no rattle snakes — that's good enough for me.
I'll take hissing over rattling any day, and I like the idea that I don't have to kill mice.
Of course I would love nothing more than to see this little food chain go back to the fields, but I have a feeling it will take a couple weeks of rain to get everybody back into the groove again.
In the meantime, it seems the drought has made porch lights look like "Eat at Joe's" signs to our wild things.
Kind of makes you wonder what's next? Coyotes, mountain lions, bears?
I'm not Joe, guys… I'm not Joe…

Michelle Cofer Named Bluefield State's Cheerleading Coach
CreatedFriday, July 08 2011
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 firstname.lastname@example.com
BLUEFIELD, W. Va. – Bluefield State College Athletic Director Terry Brown has announced the hiring of Michelle Cofer as the new Big Blues/Lady Blues Head Cheerleading Coach.
Cofer, a Princeton, W. Va. native has over 10 years of experience in cheerleading stemming from her time at Mercer Elementary School continuing through her interscholastic career at Princeton Senior High School where she was named a Top All-American Cheerleader by the National Cheerleading Association (NCA). Upon graduating from high school she was afforded the opportunity to work as a Cheer Coach for the Northeast Region of the U.S. with the NCA where she taught private and public camps for 3 years. Coupled with her cheerleading experience, Cofer boasts 12 years of experience as a competitive gymnast, where she competed for Beckley Gymnastics in Crab Orchard, W. Va.
"Cheer has always been a passion of mine and I truly look forward to working with the team at Bluefield State College. I am eager to pass on my extensive knowledge of the sport to these young women and men," stated Cofer.
Cofer recently earned her M.B.A from West Virginia University where she was named a member of the Golden Key International Honor Society. She obtained her B.A. in Foreign Language (French) from WVU in 2006. Cofer also currently works for the BSC Admissions staff, a position she has held for the past two years.

Sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade students will attend the presentation at 10 a.m. High school students will attend a 1 p.m. presentation.
A community presentation will be held at 6 p.m. at the GHS auditorium.
Cupp's presentation will be titled "Life Is a Decision."
"Life is a decision," Cupp said. "Every day, when we wake up, we each decide who we are going to be. Our choices and our behaviors are for us to decide. However, in today's culture, many fail to take responsibility for those decisions. They, instead make excuses and often lay the blame on others. Furthermore, we all have "automatics" in our lives which are things we do simply because that is what we have always done."
Cupp will emphasize that poor choices come from poor thinking. He will prompt his listeners to challenge their own belief systems.

May 1, 2013 —
REGION — Bees make honey from nectar and pollen; therefore one might think that honey would contain quite a bit of pollen. But, in fact, up to 75% of honey sold in grocery stores contains no pollen. The issue is spelled out in an article published in Food Safety News in November 2011, which tested 60 many brands of honey (www.foodsafetynews.com/2011/11/tests-show-most-store-honey-isnt-honey [2]).
Of the lack of pollen, the article said, "The removal of these microscopic particles from deep within a flower would make the nectar flunk the quality standards set by most of the world's food safety agencies." Many beekeepers in this U.S. are pushing for a standard that would require that products sold as honey must contain pollen, but some of the big packers are opposed, and it's not clear when or if there will ever be a national standard.
The current push can be tracked back to the 1990s, when according to documents on www.rochesterhoney.com [3], U.S. courts ruled that China was illegally "dumping" cheap honey in the U.S. and a 215% tariff was imposed on Chinese honey. But most of the honey that comes from China and other overseas countries is heated and "ultra-filtered," which not only removes the pollen from the honey, but also makes it nearly impossible to determine the origin.
In any case, cheap honey, sometimes adulterated with substances like corn syrup and sometimes containing antibiotics, which is illegal in the U.S., continued to flood the U.S. market. In 2006, various honey organizations petitioned the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to come up with a national standard and definition of honey.
Year after year, officials at the FDA stalled, and finally in 2011 said they were not going to create a national standard for honey. In the meantime, some states started to move on their own. First Florida, then California and North Carolina adopted their own honey standards, which said, among other things, that honey had to have pollen.
At least one industry source said those laws could not be passed today, because of opposition by some of the major honey packers in the U.S. The large packers are able to buy honey from China, pay the 215% tariff and still make a profit. Some are also in favor of ultra-purification because it extends the shelf life of the honey and it also renders the honey "crystal clear," which is reportedly what the honey-buying public wants.
Sullivan County producer Jim Kile said heating the honey up as high as the overseas processor do, as high as 160 degrees, ruins the quality and taste and then, "you don't have honey anymore, you have heated goo."
Recently, there have been several cases of major companies admitting to trying to avoid paying the high tariff on Chinese honey and have settled with authorities. In February, for instance, the U.S. Justice Department announced that two packers, Honey Holding of Texas, and Groeb Farms of Michigan, two of the nation's largest honey suppliers, were charged with avoiding $180 million in tariff payments. Honey Holding agreed to pay a $1 million fine, and Groeb agreed to pay $2 million.
Meanwhile, the push to adopt honey standards in other states such as New York and Pennsylvania has stalled. Some of the more influential packers were successful in getting a provision inserted into the 2012 Farm Bill that would have compelled the U.S. Department of Agriculture to force the FDA to adopt a national standard. The Farm Bill was not passed in 2012, and if it is passed at some point in the future, it is not clear what the position of the FDA will be regarding the question of pollen in honey.
Some of the large packers are siding with a definition of honey that does not include pollen, and in which honey that does contain pollen would be the exception rather than the rule.
Many producers would prefer that honey without pollen should not be considered honey at all, but some other product. Pat Bono, second vice president of the Empire State Honey Producers Association, said, "honey has pollen."
A beekeeper named Nancy Gentry wrote a letter in the American Bee Journal that said, "The mantra of the FDR years, 'The government is your friend; the government will protect you' is no more. We live in a global economy where neither the federal nor state governments will ever again, or at least not for a long time, be able to protect their citizenry from those who put our food supply at risk or sell our consumers deceptive products, or in the case of honey, adulterated junk."

Phillips suffered his injury while making a sliding catch in the eighth inning of Wednesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. He wore a splint as he left the clubhouse.
Phillips, 33, has hit .272 with 19 doubles and seven home runs in 86 games this year.
The Reds promoted infielder Kris Negron from Triple-A Louisville after injuries to center fielder Billy Hamilton (hamstring) and Phillips.
In Thursday's game, Reds right-hander Homer Bailey left his start against the Cubs in the sixth inning with pain in the patellar tendon of his right knee.
Bailey was delivering a 1-2 pitch to Starlin Castro, but he didn't throw the ball while gingerly completing his motion. After a visit from trainer Paul Lessard and manager Bryan Price, he walked off the field and was replaced by the right-hander Sam LeCure.
After the game, it was announced that Bailey has a slight knee strain and is expected to make his next start.
Negron, 28, has hit .269 with three home runs with Louisville. He appeared in four games with the Reds in 2012, but that is his only major league experience.
The Reds optioned right-hander Carlos Contreras to Louisville to make room on the 25-man roster for Negron. Louisville right-hander Brett Marshall was designated for assignment to make room for Negron on the 40-man roster.
Contreras appeared in three games out of the bullpen for the Reds, allowing one run in 4 1/3 innings.

WWE '12 ReviewBy Mike D'Alonzo - Posted Nov 22, 2011
From the ashes of the popular SmackDown vs. RAW series rises WWE '12, a game that only barely resembles the game you've been used to playing for the last couple of years, with the doors thrown open and a new philosophy that breathes life into what was already a pretty good franchise.
The Pros
- Re-imagining of the WWE franchise breathes fresh life into the game
- Everything is customizable, making for a deep experience
- Road to Wrestlemania is fun, new, and interesting
The Cons
- The AI, while improved, could still use some work
- Still some frustrating button mashing involved
- Online lag can play hell with timing
WWE '12 Review
Sometimes, even when you've got something that's been largely successful from year to year, it comes time to take a look at a gaming franchise on a cellular level, tear it up, and start again. And so, from the ashes of the popular SmackDown vs. RAW series rises WWE '12, a game that only barely resembles the game you've been used to playing for the last couple of years, with the doors thrown open and a new philosophy that breathes life into what was already a pretty good franchise.
May I Have Your Attention, Please?
THQ and Yuke's really went out of their way with WWE '12 to adhere to the motto they'd set for themselves, which is 'Bigger, Badder, Better,' which you'll see all over the game. And, for the most part, they nailed it. The game is certainly bigger than ever before, especially as pertains to the WWE Universe 2.0, which allows you to control all of the WWE programming over the course of many years, by rejiggering superstars and sending them from brand to brand (including, for the first time this year, the annual WWE Draft).
Also, in Universe mode, everything is customizable, including, also for the first time, the ability to create and customize arenas, which will allow you to brand everything from the mat to the ring posts to the announcer's table the way you want. There are templates, too, which means that you hardcore WCW fans will finally get to recreate the WCW arenas and fight for the old belts.
Your Create-A-Superstar wrestler will also be a big part of the action, as you can insert them wherever you want them and have them interfere in matches, become friends with whomever you like, be a heel or a baby face, and continue that action through several years of WWE programming. It's really, really deep on its own, without the myriad other parts of the game. So, yeah...bigger is covered.
Probably the biggest change and the greatest relief in WWE '12 is the idea that the control scheme has been revamped to make for a whole lot less button mashing than in the past. Matches progress the way they're supposed to, and opportunities for submission or pinfall moves and finishers appear when they're supposed to, as opposed to thoroughly thrashing an opponent for about 20 minutes, only to be completely unable to put him away when the time comes, leading to you just giving up, a hallmark of the past games. The new Breaking Point submission system is fantastic, and the mechanism for kicking out of a pin is a revelation.
Yes, the AI is still a little lame, and can chance the momentum of a match on a dime, regardless of how badly you've been beating them, and some of the fighting animation is still a little rough, but that's minor necessary improvement compared to the games of the past. The matches run fluidly, and you can tell what you're supposed to be doing from one moment to the next.
Match modes, too, are improved greatly. TLC matches, cage matches, ladder matches, even the dreaded Elimination Chamber looks and plays wonderfully. Superstars play according to their ability, speed, strength, and they level up as they go on streaks through the Universe, in what is a very nice touch. A word of warning: you're going to need to learn to use the RT to counter offensive maneuvers, and you're going to have to do it in very small windows of time if you want to succeed. This counter move is the key to your enjoyment of the game. Learn it, know it, love it.
Kayfabe, And How To Do It Right
One of the most important elements of any wrestling game is the writing of the storylines that wrap themselves around the matches. Without them, what you have is an above-average fighting game. With them, you have wrestling, plain and simple. The Road to Wrestlemania mode in WWE '12, which had been a liability in past years, is enough, on its own, to justify the price of the game.
First of all, by making the Road to Wrestlemania objective based, instead of predicating it on a never-ending string of matches, WWE '12 assures that you'll remain connected to, and interested in, the storylines. And what storylines they are, indeed. Without getting too deep into spoiler territory, the Road to Wrestlemania focuses on three stories, in particular, that of The Villain, The Outsider, and The Hero, each of which is a very rich, very deep story that, quite frankly, is better than anything the actual WWE have come up with in a long, long time.
In fact, if any of these storylines had actually appeared on WWE air, they would have been easily the most talked-about in the past decade or so...that's how good they are. It's a real pleasure playing along with them, and I was genuinely surprised at how invested I was in the twists and turns of the plot, which runs together over a couple of years. The Road to Wrestlemania is, honestly, a triumph. It was addictive, and I found myself spending lots of lost hours finding out what was going to happen next. Better? Oh, hell, yes. This is better.
Is It Really Him? Is That His Music???
Finally, the love of wrestling that the WWE '12 development team has is apparent in the game. Long-gone superstars make their triumphant return here. Did you ever think you'd see Brock Lesnar in a wrestling ring again? How about Arn Anderson? You want that 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin vs. CM Punk match? It's all right here for you.
There are extras all over this game. Ring attire, characters, belts, videos, entrance music...all of it can be earned, and there will be more coming soon by way of DLC. Wrestling fans will mark out at the depth of the roster and some of the old school WWE touches that the game has throughout. Badder? very, very much so.
Here Is Your Winner, And Neeeew WWE Champion!
Is WWE '12 perfect? No, it's far from it. But, when you uproot a game and make as many positive changes as they've made with this one, you must stand up and recognize. There might be tweaks to make WWE '13 a better product, but WWE '12 is, quite simply, the very best wrestling game ever made. If you've left the SmackDown vs RAW franchise over the last couple of years, now is the time to come back. This game will change your mind.

Wrecking ballJune 26,2013
The U.S. Supreme Court opened the door for discrimination in voting with the decision handed down Tuesday gutting the historic Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Its ruling in Shelby Co. v. Holder will stand with its Citizens United decision as twin wrecking balls, destroying laws meant to institute justice in place of the law of the jungle. With the invalidation of key provisions of the Voting Rights Act, the court has opened a new chapter of political and legal warfare, forcing jurisdictions throughout the nation to refight battles previously won by the civil rights movement 50 years ago.
Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act required states with previous histories of racial discrimination in voting, mostly in the South, to gain approval from the U.S. Justice Department before making changes in their voting laws. The court held that times have changed and conditions prevailing in 1965 no longer exist. Thus, subjecting counties in Alabama or elsewhere to a higher degree of scrutiny is no longer justified.
Defenders of the law pointed to recent history. During the 2012 election Republicans mounted a strategy of voter suppression that was blunted in part by Section 5. In states from Texas to Pennsylvania states sought to pass voter ID laws, erase names from registration rolls, curb early voting and gerrymander districts to make it harder for minority voters to vote.
As the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University has pointed out, Section 5 blocked a photo ID requirement in Texas that could have prevented 600,000 eligible voters from casting ballots. Section 5 required Florida to reinstate early voting hours favored by minority voters. Section 5 invalidated redistricting maps in Texas found to discriminate intentionally against Latino voters.
In addition, as the Brennan Center points out, the fact that changes in the law would have to win Justice Department approval deterred other jurisdictions from trying to pass discriminatory laws. South Carolina legislators rejected a restrictive voter ID law because they knew the Justice Department would strike it down.
Now deterrence will be gone. In the wake of the courts decision Tuesday, the Texas attorney general crowed that the states voter ID law would take effect immediately and the redistricting maps passed by the legislature would take effect without Justice Department approval.
A wave of discriminatory laws seeking to make it harder for minorities to vote will not be long in coming. Civil rights groups and communities will now be forced to defend their rights by mounting lawsuits to prove that the new laws are discriminatory. In 2012 they succeeded in persuading the courts to reject a spate of discriminatory laws, but without the Justice Departments role as a protector of standards, we can expect a bitter new round of civil rights struggles to follow the courts decision.
The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was one of the great monuments of the nations history. Men and women gave their lives to challenge the reign of terror prevailing in the South, where murder and terrorism were the methods deployed against a movement dedicated to the methods of peace. It is not ancient history as recent efforts to intimidate African-Americans have shown.
At the same time, African-American voters in 2012 showed they were not easily intimidated. They stood in lines in some cases for long hours to cast their ballots. Efforts by Republicans to slip a new regime of Jim Crow rules into place to make voting inconvenient or impossible for minority voters could well rebound against the Republicans, as they did in 2012.
Meanwhile, Sen. Patrick Leahy, disgusted by the courts decision, immediately announced that the Senate Judiciary Committee would hold hearings on voting rights in anticipation of crafting legislation to guarantee that abuses do not occur and the gains of the nations great civil rights struggle are not turned back by a new era of racial bigotry.MORE IN EditorialsProtesters converged on a bank in Montpelier early this week to show their solidarity with the...

Skip to comments.Urals meteorite allegedly intercepted by Russias air defense (BS Alert)
Posted on 02/15/2013 4:51:02 AM PST by PJ-Comix
A massive meteorite crash shook the Urals region in central Russia early Friday, shattering windows and prompting panic in three major cities. According to some reports, the meteor was intercepted by the air defense complex at the Urzhumka village near the Russian city of Chelyabinsk, when a salvo missile allegedly burst the shooting star at an altitude of 20 kilometers.
Witnesses reported a sudden change in atmospheric pressure upon the impact that made their ears pop. The space object hit the ground with a tremendous crash that resembled thunder and earthquake, damaging houses in Chelyabinsk and cutting off communications, witnesses say.
(Excerpt) Read more at english.ruvr.ru ...
Or is there somebody out there who actually believes a missile caught up with a missile moving at 18 mpSECOND?
dubious at best.
18 mps translates into just over 1000 miles per minute which means it was traveling at over 60,000 miles per hour. No way a missile can catch up with that meteorite.
Don't forget this was a "Russian" missle.
I'm sure a North Korean rocket could have
done the same thing.../s
And a 20 lb warhead burst a solid chondrite or nickel iron meteor. Right
Maybe the Russians have stolen the technology of the Obama deficit-reducing missile.
I agree.
If the Russians have magic, invisible missiles we're in trouble.
Regnum news agency quoted a military source who claimed that the vapor condensation trail of the meteorite speaks to the fact that the meteorite was intercepted by air defenses.
No. Actually it speaks to the fact that a military source was a complete idiot if he thought the condensation trail was caused by a missile interception. I sure hope the Russian military doesn't make this meteorite interception claim or they will end up as worldwide laughingstocks.
Just asking, how do you or anyone know the speed?
Watching the vid's, I've got a suspicion that after the filming of a new disaster flick, but prior to release, the producers got the GREAT FANTASTIC Almost NEW idea for putting out the trailer. Sort of along the lines of the radio program about Martians in 1938...
From Russia Today online: The military had nothing to do with the aerial meteorite explosion, the Urals Emergency Ministry said: "Russia's defense ministry took no action connected to the incident. No aircrafts has been registered in the air at the given period of time." Earlier, there were unconfirmed reports that the military had shot down the falling meteorite, shattering it into pieces.
Ok, good. So now confirmed that there was NO missile interception. Any such claim would be laughable.
Sounds plausable.
Or maybe I've just been watching too many James Bond movies lately.
Remember to caveat every story you read with the understanding that reporters are idiots. Therefore, the first story they come out with is almost always wrong.
Do not assume that Russian reporters are smarter than our reporters. Their "military source" was probably the gate guard or an old retired tank driver.
Look it up. Space.com says they go through the atmoshpere at 30k mph.
I am betting the under, but a meteor moves in a relatively straight line Could be a lucky shot.
If this were true, isn't this "Star Wars," the technology they condemned America for developing and demanded we pull it from Poland?
In a separate statement, the Russian air defense command advised the rest of the world they they officially authorized sunrise today, having refrained from shooting the sun down. </sarc>
Obama shot it down with his skeet gub.
it's not a matter of where he grips it. a two ounce bird cannot carry a 2lb coconut. it can't be done.
That meteorite was coming down anyway
Oh, yeah,right. Like hussein would even know the difference between a gub and a gun. But I was also thinking that maybe hussein was "doing some skeet shooting".(But not the girls.)
Or is there somebody out there who actually believes a missile caught up with a missile moving at 18 mpSECOND?
Certainly, by the same people who believe meteorites are caused by man made global warming...
Video at the site:
"Or is there somebody out there who actually believes a missile caught up with a missile moving at 18 mpSECOND?"
I'm sure that if obama told his voters that story, they would fall for it hook, line and sinker—just like all the other things that spew from his fat lips.
You can hit a bullet with the USS Missouri, if you have enough prior knowledge and a favorable geometry.
In general, reliable interception requires that the interceptor have a speed advantage, but that is certainly not a requirement. When the Navy used an SM-3 to intercept a defunct satellite in 2008, the satellite was traveling a much, much faster than the missile at intercept. (SM-3 has a top speed of 9600 km/hr, but it would have lost most of that just reaching altitude. Low earth orbit requires about 25,000 km/hr.)
But, no, they did not intercept that meteor and attempting to do so would only add chemical and kinetic energy, and possibly release harzardous chemicals, and generally only make things worse.
It must have been one of those amazing new Iranian stealth missiles.
Unfortunately, yes. We have become a science and technology illiterate society.

I've been using the 12x12 scrapbook albums, sheet protectors, and 4x6 refill pages for several years. All are quality products and if there is anything that has any kind of defect, the company quickly responds with a replacement. I still do some traditional scrapbooking of my travel photos. I like the versatility of doing a 12x12 page or just putting pictures in the 4x6 pages with a little less embellishment. Love the 4x6's that I can put in vertically or horizontally and still face forward. Glad my sister discovered this site for these materials.

I trust in Walsh.
We all knew this day was coming. I mean, we root for the NY Knicks, don't we? What were the odds we would have our dreams realized, and have lady fortune finally smile upon our collective faces?
What a Christmas treat? Just in time to spoil the holidays and our good moods, huh? After the loss in CLE, it seems the cold water of reality is splashing us in the face again.
1- Nets about to make mega deal
2- A few teams willing to rent Melo for a title run
Either way, Walsh will not get his man (again), and now the Knicks are stuck in the mud.
It appears that horrific trade, sending Jared Jeffries to HOU, is coming back to haunt Donnie Walsh and NY Knicks fans again- and will be responsible for foiling the latest attempt to get this team title-ready.
The impetus behind the deal to send Jeffries away was to get NY under the cap to make a run at Lebron James PLUS another star. Well, it didn't work and now that trade will be directly responsible for why we cannot pursue Carmelo Anthony.
If we didn't make the trade, we would have our 1st round pick to trade this year. We would be able to grab another 1st rounder (dealing Chandler or Randolph), and thus would be able to match DEN's requirement of 2 1st round picks.
OH freaking well.
On to PLAN-C.
Target Tyson Chandler or Marc Gasol in the offseason. TRADE for a few pieces now (a semi-star w/ a bad contract some team wants to move, along with a backup PG and a backup C)

Nets structuring new deal for Anthony
By [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], Yahoo! Sports 5 hours, 14 minutes ago
The [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] are advancing on another complicated multiteam trade proposal that would likely fit [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] criteria for signing a contract extension with the Nets, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
Anthony is inclined to accept a trade and contract extension with New Jersey over his preferred choice of New York only if the Nets are able to bring back a package of significant talent with him, league sources involved in the talks said on Monday.
So far, there are trade scenarios that include a combination of Anthonys Denver teammates including forward [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and other league players coming to the Nets.
The way this is structured now, the Nets will significantly upgrade their team, said one NBA executive involved in the talks.
Said a Western Conference executive whose team has pursued Anthony: Melo wants something similar to the Orlando deal, where he wont have to go into New Jersey or anywhere hes going without some help right away.
Denvers and New Jerseys trade partners are still unclear, but league executives said the Nets and Nuggets are tweaking several possible proposals with multiple teams. For now, New Jersey general manager Billy King is preparing to send rookie forward [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], the expiring contract of [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], two or three future first-round draft picks and $3 million to Denver for minimally Anthony and Harrington. More Nuggets and Nets would likely be on the move, too.
Center [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] is the only Nets player not involved in any of the proposals, sources said.
The Nuggets sudden urgency to move the unhappy Anthony is the reason more teams have been calling lately, including two contenders who are willing to chase a championship with Anthony as a rental player, a league source said. The Nuggets could do those deals without consulting Anthony, because those teams arent requiring a contract extension with Anthony to make the trade.
Several executives involved in the talks believe a deal will come sooner than later. Denver has made clear to teams the bidding process will culminate long before the Feb. 24 trade deadline.
No deal is imminent, but sources involved in the talks believe that early January is a realistic target. The [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] are still Anthonys preferred destination, but so far there are no trade packages involving the Knicks that interest Denver. Knicks GM Donnie Walsh and Nuggets GM Masai Ujiri have been talking more in the past couple weeks, but sources said Denver officials still prefer the Nets multiple picks and Favors.
Nuggets president Josh Kroenke and Ujiri havent spoken in two weeks with Anthony about the approval process on a trade, a source said, but theyve proceeded with an understanding that fattening a package for the Nets will go a long way toward getting him to sign an extension. When the time comes, the Nets are planning to have owner Mikhail Prokhorov personally sell Anthony on the Nets future in Brooklyn beyond 2012.
There are no teams involved in the pursuit of Anthony, including the Knicks, who believe Anthony is willing to pass on a contract extension before the trade deadline. With the owners determined to make sharp cuts into player salaries with a new collective bargaining agreement, Anthonys willingness to accept a compromise sign-and-trade to get his three-year, $64 million extension illustrates his reluctance to enter free agency under a more restrictive salary structure.
The Nets would need to trade point guard [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] to a third team to help bring back more talent, and somehow they have to come out of this trade with a veteran replacement. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] is a possibility, but there are questions about how much longer he can perform at an elevated level. Another player the Nuggets will likely move is shooting guard [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], who has drawn interest from the [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. Smith is making $6 million in the final year of his contract, and would love to end up with the Bulls, sources said. So far, Denver has resisted Chicagos overtures on Smith because it may need to include him in a larger deal with Anthony. Bulls GM Gar Forman has been calling league personnel to do more research on the temperamental Smith, sources said.
The Nuggets and Nets had the framework of a four-team trade with Utah and Charlotte in October, but the deal ultimately fell apart. As involved as that scenario was, one executive involved in the past and present discussions described these as a more complex, even bigger deal.
I trust in Walsh.
Even with Melo, the Nets won't be better than us.
Any team that goes all in to "rent" Melo 1) is dumb if they don't win it all 2) will only be helping us out by allowing us to sign as a FA
This deal doesn't happen imo.
We wil get him if he is moved. No worries.
Plus when u think about it, no team that Melo realistically can go to will be better than the team he is on. And we are better especially if we add size. That said, Melo should know we are a few players from making a run. He can roll with us or get rolled over.
Our priority still is in the size dept., without that Melo won't matter.
Make no mistake about this, Carmelo wants to get paid. He wants that extra year and 15-20 mil he can only get if traded now and signs extension.
He's saying he wants to be a Knick, but that will only happen if Walsh makes a deal. TRUST ME. Playing out the season and signing Melo will not happen. I highly doubt that's even a possibility.
This russian owner and their GM will find a way to make this happen.
Of course, you read reports like this: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and you do get the jist that Melo wants the kNicks. Maybe he's flating this story to force Walsh to make something happen.
I believe in 2 things though:
1- DEN will make it very difficult for the kNIcks to get Melo. Think losing Fields, Chandler, Gallo and Randolph.
2- About 10 percent chance Melo plays out season, risks losing millions, and we sign him as a free agent in July.
I honestly believe the only way this works out for the Knicks is if Walsh gets creative enought to get a player like Mayo back in return, along w/ Carmelo.
I think if Knicks can end up keeping Fields, or getting a Mayo, then Knicks have a slight chance to make something work.
BUt remember.... we rarely catch a break here. So, don't get your hopes up.

I don't think losing Melo to another team is the end of the world! Like I posted in another thread, there are many players that are available that can help the Knicks become a great team!! Listen you can't believe everything you read but if for some reason that does happen do not despair this is not the end of the world!
Get a new owner!!!
I want him like the next man. I have been a fan up until the day he socked Mardy and ran from Jared and Nate.... With that being said I will be happy to see the Nets trade away all their chip for nothing.
Even with Melo they are still scum of the division. Hey it could be the best thing for us, maybe we will finally get back to real baskeball and give up on these pipe dreams for other teams super stars.
The best deals are the ones that are not talked about, I am not 100% sure but I dont think the Lakers yapped about Gasol months before they got him. They were stealth and they got what they wanted now look at them.
Get a new owner!!!
I seriously doubt he goes to the Nets, he'll be better off staying in Denver. Mello wants to compete for titles in a big market. He doesn't have to bow down to any demands or trades he doesn't want. Denver haves no real say in the matter. Mello is the captain of the ship....and rightfully so.
I believe the Nets are blowing up the team and rebuilding reguardless if Mello goes there or not. I just hope the Nets look like a solid team by the time they come to Brooklyn.
That's too much to give up for Melo from any team mentioned. Let the chips roll as they will. There are other avenues. We need to improve defensively, and Melo isn't a great defender. Also what do we gain if Melo averages 24 points a game, and we give up Gallo (about 16 PPG) Chandler (about 18 PPG) Fields (10 PPG) and we aren't even talking rebounds, as in MAD system, you need second opportunities.....I'm really at a crossroads with this trade.....Let's trust Donnie
i really dont give a **** about Melo....I've made up my mind, we dont need him. I still have a feeling we will get him after this year. The Nets are gonna gut there team only so he can not re-sign with them. That part of it I love, **** the Nets
Basically no news is good news. And this is not news.
Sure. No news is good news. And this is simply more hearsay. However, it's clear DEN is going to deal Carmelo before the trade deadline, and if Carmelo is traded the odds of him ending in NY drop significantly IMHO.
I'm moving on. Knicks need to improve now. IN other words, there are deals to make this team better... and these are moves we have to consider. Save enough money to sign Tyson Chandler or Marc Gasol, and move on with life.
Go get a Mayo. DO something. We waited 2 years to make moves. I dont eant to si tight and wait another hoping we get a guy. If the trade deadline approaches and we dont get Anthony, Walsh has to make alternative moves.
Players that are on the market or likely on the move:
Andre Iguodala
Richard Hamilton
Jamal Crawford
O.J. Mayo
Hasheem Thabeet
Chauncey Billups
Sebastian Telfair
Antawan Jamison
Samuel Dalembert
Tayshaun Prince
Kevin Martin
Emeka Okafur
Stephen Jackson
Gerald Wallace
Joel Pryzbilla
I can't think of any more. Anybody?
...Here's the thing.
The Nets suck. They're not just rebuilding, they're not just slumping...they suck. They're an outright terrible team, and the only way they bring back enough talent to convince Carmelo to sign an extension is if they pick up a TON of bad contracts (ie get Al Harrington and give a first round pick, or something like that).
They're not going anywhere, period.

Can anyone give me advice on how to get my milk going and keep it flowing without actually ever nursing the baby?
My cousin gave birth to her fourth premature baby four and a half weeks ago. He was born at 27 weeks. He is not doing well. My cousin found out a few days ago that the reason behind all his failure to thrive problems is because of the formula feeding. She is unable to nurse him as she has cysts on both her breasts and nipples. The hospital staff are unwilling to give him donor milk as they don't want him to get used to something he will not have when he leaves the hospital. (The are unable to supply donor milk once a baby leaves). He will probably not survive without breastmilk. I am willing to provide him with my milk and his mom is grateful.
I need help and advice to get my milk going again. I have four children who were all exclisively breastfeed long term. My oldest, 21 was nursed for two years, my second, 19 for 18 months, my third, 15 for four and a half years, and my youngest, 11 for four years. So I have not been lactating for seven years now.
The day before yesterday I massaged my nipples manually and expressed what looked like dark brown/red colostrum. Yesterday was the same, but less. Today I was hardly able to get a drop out of each breast.
I have access to an electric breast pump (Medela) which I tried out tonight. It seemed to have the correct motion, but I produced nothing.
Breastfeeding was never easy for me - I often had mastitis and was engorged a lot with sore nipples for about the first six months. However, I never had a problem producing enough milk and I'm hoping that will stand in my favour now.
I am really hoping not to have to use a medication, although I don't mind using herbs or eating special foods.
Should I be eating anything or supplementing with anything special?
How often should I be pumping? Or should I stick to manual expressing?
And how long will it take to start producing milk?
Also, what are our chances of successfully producing milk without ever actually nursing this baby? (He has no sucking reflex at the moment and the nursing staff do not want anyone other than the mother feeding him).
Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

Recover faster.
Wanderlust. As cyclists, we all feel its pull at one point or another, and it can't be satisfied with just a different route around town. So what do we do? We spend serious hours folded up in an airplane to get to that magical location. And it's during these endless flights that the 2XU Recovery Compression Socks are an absolute necessity.
If you've ever flown, built your bike, and gone right out for spin, you're familiar with the bloated, dead feeling in your legs when you ride. It's because gravity pulls blood down to your legs and feet, and your body struggles to return it upstream towards the heart. When you wear Recovery Compression socks you supercharge your venous function by forcing the blood flow from your extremities up into your circulatory system. There's a reason why elite endurance athletes refuse to travel without wearing compression: The difference in what your legs feel like after wearing them is night and day.
The Recovery Compression socks aren't just for travel, though. They're equally useful to wear post-ride in order to enhance circulation. Not unlike a post-ride recovery drink, these help lay the groundwork for faster recovery and better rides, day after day.
The 2XU Compression Recovery Socks are available in the color Black/black and in five sizes from X-Small to X-Large.

Incredible feel.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Incredible feel, starting from your foot and going all the way to your knee. It makes recovering while driving, flying or standing actually possible, best recovery/ compression socks I've owned.
I Feel Good...I Feel REALLY Good
Whether it's after a long ride, race, or just when I'm at the office all day, I just feel better when I have these on.
Ultra comfortable feel, firm compressive fit but without having to wrestle them on. Durability has been great, though you shouldn't be walking around much in these. You'll be too relaxed, probably won't want to get off the couch. That's true recovery my friends.
What you wear to feel great.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
This is what you wear to feel great all day. Wear them while on your feet for extended periods of time, sitting behind a desk or the wheel of your car. These feel great up until about the 10 hour mark then you get hit with another feel great experience, taking them off at the end of the day!
Magic Socks
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
These are great after an epic day on the snowboard or bike. They are heaps more convenient to put on than compression tights. I also find when I'm for travelling/sleeping that I overheat in compression tights, the socks are a happy medium - a reasonable amount of compression without getting too hot.

A Portales man was arrested by the Roosevelt County Sheriff Department on Thursday for drug trafficking.
Victor Moreno, 30, was detained by the border patrol and later charged by the sheriff office for trafficking a controlled substance — cocaine, which is a second-degree felony, according to Chief Deputy Malin Parker.
Police found a small amount of cocaine found, packaging materials, scales and U.S. currency in the residence at 1226 N. Abilene St.
Moreno is not a U.S. citizen, Parker said.

A U.S. Marine has been charged with murder in the death of Ivanice Harris, who disappeared in May. Her nude body was then discovered just days later in West Oahu.
On Wednesday, Marines will hold an Article 32 hearing, which is similar to a civilian grand jury investigation.
Not only will the defendant Master Sergeant Nathaniel Cosby attend, Harris' mother and father will also be there.
After the disappearance and death of Harris, her family has been waiting months for the case to move forward.
"We just want justice. Whoever did this, we want that person to be held accountable for their crime," said Harris family spokesperson Andre Miller.
Cosby has been waiting in the brig at Pearl Harbor, after being arrested in June. All will be in the same courtroom for the military hearing.
"Ivanice's mother and father are planning on being out there on Tuesday to be there for the hearing on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday," said Miller.
Unlike civilian cases, the military hearing could also turn into a mini-trial.
"The interesting thing about an Article 32 hearing is the defense can present evidence and question witnesses. You can get a sneak peak at what the defense is going to do," said attorney Timothy Bilecki, who specializes in military cases.
Some may question why this murder case was taken over by the military instead of city prosecutors, but Bilecki believes there is a simple reason. "It is substantially easier to get a conviction in military courts than in state courts. That may be why it is being handled by the Uniform Code of Military Justice instead of the state."
Even the Harris family feels confident about the proceedings.
"At first I was a little skeptical with the Marines taking this over. Maybe they would try to sweep it under the rug to protect one of their own, but it has been going well," said Miller.
If enough evidence is presented at the Article 32 hearing for a court-martial, Cosby's commanding general would select a panel of senior officers instead of a civilian jury of his peers. Those panel members would only need to reach a 2/3 majority to convict Cosby of the charges. Those charges include unpremeditated murder, voluntary manslaughter, murder while engaging in an inherently dangerous act, patronizing a prostitute and obstruction of justice.

Lessons learned this Election DayNovember 09,2012
For Montpelier voters trying to get through lines in the first couple of hours of voting Tuesday, Election Day was less a celebration of American democracy and more of a miserable half-hour slog. Even with an early morning rush the likes of which the longer-term employees in the clerks office had never seen, as city clerk, the failure to move people through without them having to wait in line for long periods is all on me.
With the backup voting machine pulled out and put in place within the first half hour of voting (which meant we were working without a backup machine at all for the day), and a couple of additional willing justices of the peace called in to help, there seemed to be little to do but work through the line.
After a couple of hours when things calmed down, we were able to squeeze in and try to shift some of the alphabetical traffic (check-in lines were based on last name), but that just made line two the long one, rather than line three (which reminded me of trying to move to the open lane in crowded city traffic, only to look up and see that the folks in the lane you just left are now passing you).
At the end of the day, the big lesson was clearly that once the logjam happens, theres no easy way through it. The question, then, is how to prevent the logjams in the future. Id like to invite citizens to share their ideas with me before the next presidential election puts its unprecedented pressures on our system. As you can imagine, Ive thought about it quite a bit and I believe that the one thing that should be assumed is that each presidential election from here on out will produce unprecedented traffic, so rather than plan for the historical worst-case scenario based on four years prior, well have to be projecting for record-setting paces every time.
Here are some starting points for future planning:
Open at 7 a.m. no matter what. Ill confess there was a moment when I realized the line for voting filled the entire first floor of City Hall even before the scheduled 7 a.m. time for the polls to open where I think I stopped breathing. Suddenly all those little things that werent quite ready (pens not all in place, troubles connecting to the statewide checklist, etc.) things that in the August election were just sorted out over the first 15 minutes people were filing in seemed like potential land mines that could blow up into major disruptions if tripped.
It would have been better to deal with them if/when they did cause problems, rather than pre-emptively setting off a land mine of my own by opening the doors a few minutes late.
More vote-counting machines. In past years, weve had one machine running and one as backup. Almost immediately, we called for the backup and the two machines were critical to slowly bringing down that morning line and preventing it from building back up over the day. Adding one or two machines would allow us to start at higher capacity, while keeping our disaster planning procedures intact.
The problem with this plan, of course, is the expense. Here in the office, weve worked hard to craft a budget for next year that comes in lower than previous ones. From that perspective, adding a machine could be a hard step to take but may nonetheless be necessary. If were fortunate, there may be leasing options available to us.
More lines. Dividing the lines by last name, rather than by district, is something that has been done for non-city meeting elections, where the city districts are irrelevant. Doing it this way also means we can have four or more lines, rather than only three. This means hiring more temporary poll workers, of course, but would seem to be worth the relatively modest expense.
Shorter ballots to prevent jams. The long ballots repeatedly caused the voting machines to jam. Although those ballots were generated through the secretary of states office, it should be possible to step into that process and specify letter size ballots, given all the extra room on the extra long ones.
More ballot boxes. When those boxes fill up, jams become more frequent. Being able to switch boxes out more often would also help things flow more quickly.
Weekend voting hours. Opening the office for Saturday and Sunday hours before Election Day could allow for more early voting and decrease traffic on the big day itself. Our early voting process this year went quite smoothly and could accommodate more traffic.
Here are some other ideas that could help around the edges:
Tighter control of campaign advertising creeping into the voting room. We went through and scooped up advocacy materials left in the booths when we could, but we need to be clearer about the rules. Posting signs informing voters to put away such materials before entering would help with this and ease the overall mood.
Clocks. Without a point of reference, an already awful 20- or 25-minute wait in line can seem like a 45-minute wait, which just makes it worse for everyone.
More smiles. I did hear from several voters that there was a lot of grumpiness in that room, and I have no doubt that much of it was probably generated by me personally. The least I can guarantee the citizens of Montpelier is a lot more smiling from their city clerk.

In the first half, the Hornets scored twice and had a 14-0 lead at halftime. The first Runge score of the contest didn't come until the third quarter as Travis Perez scored on a running play, with the extra point by Ryan Saucedo cutting the Hornets' lead to 14-7. The Yellow Jackets tied it up in the fourth quarter as Perez punched it in on a QB sneak play, followed by Saucedo's PAT.
Runge took the lead as time expired in the ball game as they utilized a trick play with Dylan Torres receiving an option pitch and then throwing to Justin Vasquez to catch the Hornets off guard and claim the 20-14 victory.
"It's a mixed emotion as a coach," said Runge head coach Ken Wallace. "I felt we really weren't ready to play. Louise's record was deceiving. On one hand, I'm angry and disappointed but on the other hand I feel we wore them down with our strength and conditioning. It may help us down the line."
Additional statistics for the game were unavailable at press time.
This week, the Yellow Jackets will travel to Yorktown to face the Wildcats in a non-district contest.
"We're treating this like a pre-district game," said Wallace. "We're going to increase our depth and make sure our kids get plenty of time. It's a different philosophy going into this one. We're going to use it the best we can."
Kickoff in Yorktown is set for Friday, October 26 at 7:30 p.m.

Cant wait for tomorrow nights game. Melo said he thinks the Knicks should go with a more traditional lineup tomorrow night. Not that i would blame him if he is but I wonder if hes a little shook of ZBo. I could see the two of them pushing eachother, getting tangled up and perhaps ZBo losing his temper a little bit.
Memphis cant stop Melo, hes had his way against Tony Allen and Rudy homo in the past. Hes gonna have to lead the team tomorrow night against the Grizzlies tough defense.

Vermont House passes aid-in-dying bill
MONTPELIER After a second long day of debate, the Vermont House gave final approval Wednesday to a bill that would allow terminally ill patients to ask their doctors for a lethal dose of medication.
One after another, House members rose to tell stories of their own loved ones deaths, with some saying a dying parent would have appreciated the choice to end his or her own life and others saying such a thing never would have been considered.
Ive listened to all these stories, very personal stories, and I respect every single one of them, Rep. Willem Jewett, D-Ripton, the majority leader, said as the debate drew to a close.
A supporter of the bill, Jewett spoke of the guideposts of family and faith and said that under the legislation, we all get to remain true to our guideposts at the end of our life.
House passage came after the defeat of several amendments including one by Rep. Kurt Wright, R-Burlington, that would have put the question to voters in November.
Referencing a Senate closely divided on the legislation and the likelihood of Lt. Gov. Phil Scott breaking a possible 15-15 tie in that chamber, Wright said a statewide referendum would be preferable to perhaps one person getting to decide whether Vermont becomes the fourth state after Oregon, Washington and Montana to allow terminally ill patients to take their own lives with a physicians help.
Vermont, unlike California and some other states, does not have a citizens initiative petition process, and statewide referenda generally happen only in connection with amendments to the state Constitution.
The last time the Legislature asked the public to vote in an advisory referendum not related to amending the Constitution was to set up the Vermont Lottery in 1976.
House passage now sets up what is likely to be a tough set of negotiations with the Senate.
The Senate in February passed a stripped-down version of the bill 22 pages were reduced to one that simply relieved of any criminal or civil liability health professionals and family members of terminally ill people who take their own lives.
That version did not include the safeguards that were contained in the original Senate bill or in the version passed by the House that called for the patient to be deemed competent to make the decision, required three requests one in writing from the patient to end her or his life, and called for two physicians to agree that the patient had less than six months to live.
The differences between the House and Senate versions most likely will be worked out if they can be; otherwise the legislation dies in a conference committee including three members from each chamber.
While the Senate was evenly divided its amendment shrinking the bill was approved 16-15 when Scott broke a tie in its favor its conferees will be appointed by the Senate Committee on Committees.
All three members of that committee are opponents of the legislation as originally filed in the Senate and as passed by the House. They are Senate President Pro Tem John Campbell, Scott and Sen.
