Dave Evans has reaction to the latest twist in the race for NYC mayor
Randyp910: Republican voters chose Trump as their candidate. The American people elected him as their president end of story. The media and liberals just won't let this go. They're trying to petition the voters of the electoral college.They're demanding recounts in states. They're protesting and complaining. Designers are refusing to dress the first lady when she hasn't even approached them. Celebrities are claiming that Trumps 12 year old son is autistic.Celebrities have threatened to leave the country if Trump was the winner. Does any of this sound like a country full of people that believe in democracy? Does any of this sound like the behavior of adults? Would the republican electorate be acting like this if they lost? Obama a democratic president that is reviled by millions of republicans was the winner of not one but two terms as this countries president. The republican parties leaders vowed to try and make him a 1 term president and he was still re elected. Did you see or hear any of this garbage after Obama defeated Romney? Liberals are a very interesting breed. If a republican criticizes Obama and his agenda he's a racist. If a democrat makes statements about Ben Carson another black man they're not. If a republican says something about Hillary Clinton they're sexist. If a liberal says something about Sarah Palin they're not.Liberals are closed minded, arrogant, and pompous. They think they know everything and that anyone that disagrees with them is an idiot, racist,sexist,homophobe or any other thing they can think of to call people. Their candidate had the audacity to call republican voters deplorable and thought nothing off it.

2012/11/02 Minutes Economics Working Group
1. Saturday and Monday events – establish a summary at the end of the debates. Opportunities to make comments online blogs etc. NB. Oasis is a good venue.
2. Saturday – generally was well received by both audience and speakers. Haldane meeting was too formal etc. Power hierarchy seating. Last night's debate with George Monbiot was similar. Reason to be satisfied that we achieved something. Haldane meeting was significant in furthering the Occupy agenda. How far we have fallen down; occupy transformative; TUC alongside BoE representatives unprecedented; Schrapp proposal to Haldane insist on Occupy A0 noticeboard under glass to for occupy to post notices; Piratepad set up to develop a list of banking principles to go in the box. Need a review of the talk before writing to Haldane; discussion of how to respond continued until the minute take left at 6:20pm

I've received this news from proxmox press office, I really like their effort and their product and so I've decided to post their press release that celebrate their 5th anniversary:
Proxmox Virtual Environment, the open-source server vitualization platform, is celebrating its 5th anniversary today. When Vienna Proxmox Server Solutions launched the first version of Proxmox VE V0.9 on April 15, 2008 – exactly five years ago – the software was the first open-source solution providing an integrated GUI for KVM and container-virtualization. With this approach IT administrators can manage their KVM and OpenVZ containers easily via a web-based interface. In the last five years Proxmox VE has become the mainstream open-source business alternative to commercial virtualization platforms like VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Oracle VM or Citrix XenServer.
According to Proxmox, today 40.000 hosts in more than 140 countries worldwide use Proxmox VE – with a continued growth of its user base. The GUI is available in more than 16 languages and the support forum states over 20,000 members. Proxmox Server Solutions offers several levels of support subscription plans for business-use, ranging between 120 and 800 Euros per year.

The Business Case for Corporate Social Responsibility, In A. Crane, A. McWilliams, D. Matten, J. Moon, D. Seigel, (Eds.) The Oxford Handbook of CSR
Elizabeth C. Kurucz, Barry A. Colbert & David Wheeler
published: 2008 | Research publication | Chapters in books - Policy
In this chapter we provide a general summary of the key value propositions evident in the research on the business case for corporate social responsibility (CSR), described as four general types of the business case, or four modes of value creation. We then present a critique of these approaches (including identifying some problems inherent in the construct of CSR itself) and offer some principles for constructing a better business case for CSR.

This week the news headlines speak volumes for the uncertainty that dominates business markets as of late. Tuesday's Washington Postheadline reads "Worst Day for World Markets Since '08," in response to Monday's 635 loss on the Dow. Wednesday, the same paper tells a contrasting story: "Stocks Rally as Fed Pledges Low Rates for Two Years," describing Tuesday's Dow gain of 429 points. Later this week, we saw "U.S., European Markets Plunge Again " and "U.S. Stocks Stage Dramatic Rebound."
This week's Economist cover features a bleak picture of a woman getting ready to take a swim with a menacing shark just underwater. The headline is even bleaker: "Time for a Double Dip: The growing fear of another American recession."
"This ought to have been a good week for the American economy. The country's leaders at last ended a ludicrously irresponsible bout of fiscal brinkmanship, removing the threat of global financial Armageddon by agreeing to raise the federal debt ceiling," Economist authors write. "Yet far from heaving a sigh of relief, investors are nervous. Stockmarkets around the world have tumbled."
The article goes on to describe how the recovery in the United States has been slow and fragile, with the 2008 recession deeper than originally thought and the recovery more level than first predicted and output growth only at 1.6 percent. In fact, over the last six months, the US economy has grown only 0.8 percent.
The Economist doesn't paint an entirely dire portrait of the US financial state of affairs; yet it does chastise political decision makers. "If America does manage to avoid recession and slowly begins to pull out of this mire, it will be testimony to its underlying strengths. It sill has huge advantages over other rich countries: younger, less taxed population; a more innovative economy; and, for now at least, the dollar as the global reserve currency. If only it had the political leaders to match, its chance of avoiding recession would be far better than one in two."
Holding your ground
The 2008 recession forced operations and supply chain management experts to grow as professionals and stretch their understanding of supply and demand. Now the threat of a double dip leaves us all uneasy. However, in part because of that knowledge gain, supply chain and operations management professionals stand poised to help businesses better withstand an economic crisis.
Still, this doesn't make the situation easier to stomach. The thought of facing, let alone withstanding, another recession can make professionals feel beat down. APICS doesn't have all the answers, but it can provide a community of peers who are facing the same challenges. Supply chain and operations management professionals have a big role to play to ensure the international economy functions more like an international community.
I am looking forward to seeing you at APICS 2011. It is where we all need to be, together, advancing productivity, innovation, and competitive success.

News Detail
Computer Science Students Compete in Programming Contest at CCSCNE
Three computer science students recently competed in a programming contest at the Consortium for Computing Sciences in College – Northeast Region conference at Siena College on April 12 and 13.
Kyle Brennan, Robert Jones, and Aaron Resch worked closely with Dr. Scott Harrison, Associate Professor of Mathematical and Computing Sciences, over the last year in preparation for the contest.
Teams have three hours to solve as many programming problems as they can, and they are not allowed to communicate with their coaches during the contest. The Fisher team competed alongside more than 20 teams from schools around the region.
CCSCNE is the northeastern region of the national Consortium for Computing Sciences in Colleges (CCSC). Started in 1996, CCSCNE is one of the largest regions of CCSC. CCSCNE brings together faculty, staff, and students from academic institutions throughout the Northeast for exchange of ideas and information concerning undergraduate computing curricula.

Perhaps, ultra-portable notebooks look similar to with enlarged netbooks, but these two types of devices are completely different, as technically savvy consumers understand. Apparently, a lot of end-users do not realize the difference between capabilities and performance of netbooks and notebooks, which is why over 30% of netbook owners are not satisfied with the purchase, a recent study by NPD Group has found.
A recent report by NPD claims that 60% of consumers who purchased a netbook instead of a notebook thought their netbooks would have the same functionality as notebooks.
That confusion about functionality is naturally leading to dissatisfaction: only 58% of consumers who bought a netbook instead of a notebook said they were very satisfied with their purchase, compared to 70% of consumers who planned on buying a netbook from the start. This means that more than 30% of netbook owners are not satisfied with their purchase, a result which shows that netbooks in general are not suitable for a lot of consumers. This is hardly surprising since the vast majority of netbooks feature relatively small low-resolution screens as well as Intel Atom microprocessors, which cannot compete even with Celeron, not talking about Pentium or Core 2 central processing units.
Satisfaction was even harder to ascertain among 18- to 24-year-olds, one of the main demographics manufacturers were hoping to win over with the new products. Among that age group, 65% said they bought their netbooks expecting better performance, and only 27% said their netbooks performed better than expected, a study by NPD claims.
"We need to make sure consumers are buying a PC intended for what they plan to do with it. There is a serious risk of cannibalization in the notebook market that could cause a real threat to netbooks' success," said Stephen Baker, vice president of industry analysis at NPD.
One marketing aspect that has interested buyers is the portability factor. It has been the key marketing tool for netbook manufacturers, and consumers agree that it is a great feature. 60% of the end-users said that portability was a main reason they bought their netbooks. However, once they got home, 60% of buyers said they never even took their netbooks out of the house.
"Retailers and manufacturers can't put too much emphasis on PC-like capabilities and general features that could convince consumers that a netbook is a replacement for a notebook. Instead, they should be marketing mobility, portability, and the need for a companion PC to ensure consumers know what they are buying and are more satisfied with their purchases," added Mr. Baker.
Nearly 600 adults from NPD's online panel who were identified as netbook owners completed this survey between April 27 and May 4, 2009.

[Update] And the answer is: Spirit Beast! More details at the end of the post.
Commenter Clawclaw pointed us at this post on the MMO Champion forums about a new Northrend beast named Skoll that was found on the PTR in the Snowdrift Plains.
Skoll is … well, as you can see here, he's an ice-blue worg with built-in lightning bolts which are constantly flickering about his body. (Even with the model viewer it was hard to get a pic that does justice to the lightning.)
We don't have a lot of information on this creature yet. Skoll is described as a neutral (yellow dot) tameable rare. Unfortunately the only in-game screenshot shows him dead already so we don't have confirmation that he can be tamed.
And assuming that he can be tamed, we also don't know for certain which pet family he might be in. Yes, he is clearly a saberworg … but he is also a neutral rare beast with a spectral look and built-in lightning. It's not beyond the realm of possibility that he qualifies as our first non-feline Spirit Beast.
What we need most now is data! If you happen to be flying over the Snowdrift Plains on the PTR, keep an eye out for a yellow dot below you — and let us know what you find!
[Update] Commenter Safrienaer (aka Nanyana on the PTR) has tamed one of these bad boys and confirms that they are spirit beasts with the skills Prowl and Spirit Strike. And yes, Skoll keeps his lightning effect when he's tamed. (You can just see the lightning around his ears in Safrienaer's pic.)

Darren Perry made the prediction after the 2011 season ended. He'd seen Morgan Burnett play in exactly 21 games that mattered – four in 2010 before a torn anterior cruciate in his knee ended his rookie season, and 17 in 2011, many of them having been spent with a bulky club cast protecting a broken right hand.
Nevertheless, having coached seven-time Pro Bowl safety Troy Polamalu Pittsburgh and three-time Pro Bowl safety Nick Collins in Green Bay, the Packers safeties coach felt completely confident in what he was about to say.
"You saw flashes of him potentially being a really, really good football player (during the 2011 season). I think the sky's the limit for him," Perry said. "He's coachable, he listens. To me, he's got athletic ability comparable to Nick. He has good ball skills, and I think the more he learns and the more he understands the system – because really in essence, this was kind of his rookie season – I don't think he felt truly comfortable.
"Just watching him, I'm real excited about his growth potential. I think he could be one of the top safeties in the league. I really feel strongly about that."
On Monday, the Packers made a long-term commitment to Burnett, reinforcing their belief in him by signing him to a reported four-year extension worth $24.75 million, including an $8.25 million signing bonus, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The deal will reportedly pay Burnett $15 million over the next two years.
Burnett has yet to make the Pro Bowl, although given the Packers' history at the position, this could be the year. The team's three previous high-profile safeties – LeRoy Butler in 1993, Darren Sharper in 2000 and Collins in 2008 – all earned their first Pro Bowl nods in their fourth seasons.
The news broke on the same day that the Buffalo Bills failed to reach a long-term agreement with their franchise-tagged Pro Bowl safety, Jairus Byrd. Byrd wants to be the league's highest-paid safety but is now set to make a one-year guaranteed salary of $6.9 million under the franchise tag.
If the 24-year-old Burnett becomes the player Perry believes he can be, the Packers got him at a bargain rate. When ex-San Francisco 49ers Pro Bowl safety Dashon Goldson signed as a free agent with Tampa Bay this offseason, the Buccaneers gave him a five-year, $41.25 million deal that contained $22 million in guarantee money, including a first-year roster bonus of $4.5 million, a fully guaranteed 2014 roster bonus of $3 million, and guaranteed base salaries of $4.5 million this year and $6 million next year.
Seattle Seahawks two-time Pro Bowl safety Earl Thomas still has two years left on his rookie deal as a 2010 first-round pick, but his next deal figures to surpass Goldson's. In March, Atlanta's William Moore got a five-year, $29.512 million deal that contained $14 million guaranteed – an $8.25 million signing bonus this year and each Moore's base salaries of $2.25 million this year and $3.5 million next year.
According to NFL Players Association data, Burnett was set to earn a base salary of $1.323 million in 2013. His base salary last year was just $540,000.
Burnett's agent, Kevin Conner of Universal Sports Management, did not return a message.
The Packers went into the deal with $16.3 million in salary-cap space despite having signed quarterback Aaron Rodgers and outside linebacker Clay Matthews to pricey extensions earlier this offseason. Jason LaCanfora of CBS Sports reported last Thursday that the Packers were trying to "hammer out" a deal with Burnett, who was entering the final year of his rookie contract after coming into the league as a third-round pick in 2010 out of Georgia Tech.
Burnett's rookie season ended after four games with the torn ACL, but he's started every one of the Packers' 35 games (including playoffs) since. He registered 112 tackles, one sack and four interceptions and broke up 16 passes in 17 games in 2011, then had 148 tackles, two sacks, two interceptions and 15 break-ups last season in 18 games. In fact, Burnett played every one of the Packers' 1,260 snaps.
With the release of veteran defensive back Charles Woodson in February, the team will be relying heavily on Burnett, whom the coaches believe has matured and grown into a leader on the defense.
"I'm not Charles Woodson. I'm trying to be the best Morgan Burnett that I can be," Burnett said during organized team activity practices last month. "Charles Woodson was a Hall of Fame player and I'm very thankful to have had the opportunity to play alongside him, but right now I have to come in and try to be the best Morgan I can be.
"I just feel as a safety that's your job description. You have to be a leader on that defense. You have to be a leader in that secondary. It's your job to get everybody lined up in the right position."
By taking care of Burnett, the Packers crossed one more name off the list of players they need to re-sign. The team enters the 2013 season with defensive tackle B.J. Raji, cornerback Sam Shields, tight end Jermichael Finley, wide receiver James Jones, defensive tackle Ryan Pickett, center Evan Dietrich-Smith, defensive end Mike Neal and right tackle Marshall Newhouse all entering the final years of their deals.
"I think he's going to have a heck of a career here, and I'm delighted to be his coach because he does everything you want done," Perry said last month. "He's going to do it exactly like you tell him to do it."

We can't waitMay 08,2014The latest government report on climate change makes clear that Vermont and the rest of the nation are already feeling the effects of the warming planet. Vermonters who remember Tropical Storm Irene are well aware of it.
One consequence is the effort taking place on many fronts to adopt technologies that will diminish the harm from climate change in the future. Thus, we are seeing the rapid proliferation of renewable energy projects, including numerous solar installations throughout the state. Perhaps inevitably, the rush to construct solar installations has been met with mounting resistance from residents who view them as a commercial or industrial use inappropriate for agricultural or residential areas.
This concern is compounded by the fact that local bodies select boards, planning commissions, even district environmental commissions do not have a role in approving or disapproving power projects. That is the job of the state Public Service Board, a fact that leaves some local communities feeling that they lack a voice on important decisions related to the landscape.
Several projects in the Rutland area have raised concern. The Planning Commission in Sudbury has written to the Public Service Board opposing two separate projects proposed for Sudbury. Sudbury is a rural town of lovely farms and a small central village. Placement of solar panels for a two-megawatt project and for a 500-kilowatt project would be inappropriate on productive farmland or near a residential district, according to the commission. The commission also said the projects would provide no financial benefit to the town of Sudbury.
Residents in Rutland Town have expressed similar concerns about a project proposed for an open field there. Meanwhile, the Board of Aldermen in Rutland City will consider establishing guidelines for new energy projects. This action follows the push by Green Mountain Power to establish the city as the solar capital of the region. With solar projects popping up all over the city, that goal is within reach.
The latest U.S. government report gives added momentum to the push toward renewable energy. Any kilowatt of electricity that is generated from the power of the sun is a kilowatt that does not have to be generated by fossil fuel. And the new report underscores the importance of curbing the consumption of fossil fuel.
The pattern has already established itself. Droughts are more persistent and severe in the Southwest. Rain and snow are heavier in the East. Heat waves are longer, hotter and more dangerous.
Some parts of the nation are immediately imperiled. Coastal regions are suffering, as in Alaska where the lack of sea ice leaves villages on the coast unprotected from the ocean, and as in Virginia where flood waters in some places are high and persistent.
The connection between a farm field in Sudbury and the flooding of a coastal village in Alaska may seem remote, but its not. More and more people are seeing the connection, which creates a policy imperative that weighs heavily in the balance between local and global concerns.
At the same time, it is important to recognize that the solar energy sector is only now beginning to mature. It will be counterproductive to pursue renewable energy heedlessly, provoking opposition unnecessarily and making the job of developing new energy sources more difficult. Thus, it is useful and appropriate for aldermen to consider policy guidelines relating to energy projects, as long as they do so in the right spirit. It must be a spirit that recognizes the underlying motive for a transformation of the energy sector away from fossil fuels and toward renewable energy. We cant wait for others to act. It is a human imperative, affecting people all around the globe, from the lowlands of Bangladesh to the river valleys of Pittsfield, Mendon, Jamaica and all those towns in Vermont that remember the floods of 2011.MORE IN CommentarySure, you can buy your uncle a necktie that he wont wear, or your niece an Amazon certificate...

My ultimate goal is to nurse my son until he is 2. He is only 5 months right now but I hope to make it!
My biggest fear is having a twiddler. Do all toddlers do this?
I am not sure why I am so paranoid about it. Even now if my son grabs my other boob I gently move him away.
When twiddling first starts do some moms let it go until it is suddenly a habit? Or is just something that you have to fight when nursing a toddler? Is there any way to prevent my son from developing the habit?
Thanks for your answers!

Slow down ... you're thinking too fast
The Columbus Dispatch - February 03, 2014 11:14 AM
My recovery has a new theme: Steve, slow the heck down. Please.
What I've learned the past few weeks, as I've tried to get back to normal, is that I'm not back to normal and trying to act like I'm normal is exhausting. And hurts my brain.
So, I've come to the harsh realization that I need to take a couple of steps back … and slow the heck down.
And when I say slow down, I mean literally do everything I do – including typing this blog post – slower than I did it in the past.
This isn't easy, as I've always been a high-rev person. My engine runs hot; my volume knob is turned up to 11. In other words: I did things as quickly as possible. This has served me well in my career as a journalist, especially when I'm on deadline, and on the bike, especially in ultra races and climbing mountains. It also helped around the house when I emptied the dishwasher, shoveled snow, painted the porch and did the bills. I got things done. Then again, maybe going fast all the time didn't help, but it's how I've always done things, so I'm sticking with the notion that it helped.
But I'm not me anymore, or at least the me I used to be. And when I get all revved up, my brain gets tired, annoyed, a bit confused and definitely agitated and totally exasperated. My head starts feeling fuzzy around the edges, sort of like when you've had a drink or two too many and are trying really hard to think clearly and be sober, but you can't quite think clearly no matter how hard you try.
When all this happens to my brain … it's not a good thing.
And yes, this is frustrating. I feel like I've aged 20 years in the past three months … and can't figure out how to turn back the clock or fix my brain, although I have the feeling that time and a lot of rest are the answers. At least, I hope they are. They better be.
So, I need to slow down. Take a few deep breaths, realize that whatever it is I'm doing will eventually get done and that it's OK if it gets done a little later or a little slower than it would normally get done.
It's OK to turn the volume all the way down to a 6 (OK, a 3 or a 4 might be a better idea for now) … the world will continue to revolve.
I used to think I'd be all better in terms of weeks, or a month … but not so much anymore.
I've grudingly and gradually come to the realization that my recovery could take the rest of this year, maybe longer. And I may not be riding my bike again any time soon, or even this year. And yes, this is amazingly frustrating and depressing.
The thought of getting back on a bike is daunting. There's the physical side of it. Will my balance be OK? Will my legs be strong enough to allow me to ride like I used to ride or even close to the way I used to ride? Will I crash again?
Will I be able to ride in Pelotonia this year … or do the Ohio to Erie trail later this year with the group of riders who invited me?
Then there's the mental aspects of getting back on the bike. Will I have flashbacks to the crash (even though I don't remember it)? Will I have to ride only on bike paths, because cars passing me when I ride on the roads will be just too darn scary and fill me with dread and anxiety?
It will be several – and maybe more – months before I'm ready to get back on the bike and learn the answers to these questions.
I've also been thinking a lot lately about a couple of my friends, John and Ray, who are battling cancer and are getting chemo and dealing with all the terrible side effects that comes with this, and have it a lot tougher than me. If they can stay positive and keep fighting … so can I.
But slowly! Very slowly.

SS14 you did bring up an interesting thought
My 1st thought is/was they slide Hornish into that seat.
However Vickers who has shown he can still drive when he has driven the 55 car this year, could be a possiblity.
Everyone figures he will share the 55 with Mark again next year, but if Penske were to offer him a full time ride he would be a fool to not take it. Part time ride or a full time ride? To me it would be an easy choice for Vickers. Since Mark has already stated he will be driving next year no matter what. I wish he would just retire & stop screwing up quality rides.
Still think Hornish would be my 1st thought, but Vickers would be some food for thought.

By Helena Rodriguez: Freedom Newspapers
A snow storm that dumped 4 inches of snow in the Clovis/Portales area since Thursday is melting away.
However, one road, U.S. 285 between Vaughn and Clines Corner, remained closed on Monday and the area is bracing for more possible snow.
"We encourage people to call our toll -free number, 1-800-432-4269, to avoid overwhelming us with telephone calls like they did this last time," said Gloria Gonzales, a dispatch supervisor for the New Mexico State Police office in Clovis. "A lot of people could not get through to us because off all the calls. We try to keep the media updated as much as possible, so we encourage them (citizens) to listen to the radio and watch TV news. We also have a Web site, nmsp.com."
According to the National Weather Service in Albuquerque, Curry and Roosevelt counties have slight chances of snow showers tonight.
Last week's storm resulted in many area highway accidents, including two fatal accidents, one Friday in Texico and another Sunday in Clovis.
Keri Bechthold, 19, of Portales, and Ashley Welch, 21, of Estancia, died Sunday in Clovis after the vehicle they were in slid off the road and landed upside-down in a ditch, according to Clovis Police Department.
A 27-year-old Kentucky man died Friday on U.S. 60/70/84 west of Texico, state police said.
Portales Police Chief Lonnie Berry said there were some rollovers on the highway and mostly one-vehicle type of accidents. As of Monday afternoon, Berry said, "The roads pretty much drying right now. Most roads are pretty passable, but anytime the weather drops below freezing, anytime you have any standing water, there will be slick spots."
According to Nancy McPherson, a representative with the National Weather Service in Clovis, Clovis received 4 inches of snow from the storm that begin Thursday. This left the city with a total of 15.40 inches of precipitation for 2006. According to Sean Moore, a master control operator at KENW-TV in Portales, the area received about 1.05 inches of precipitation as of Saturday for this last storm. Due to the holiday, a year-end total was not available.
Portales High School boys basketball coach Mark Gallegos said the Rams arrived Sunday afternoon from a three-day tournament in Las Vegas, N.M., after spending an extra night due to Saturday's inclement weather.

Whistleblowers now can hide namesBy Neal P. Goswami
VERMONT PRESS BUREAU | May 15,2014MONTPELIER Gov. Peter Shumlin signed into law Wednesday a new exemption to the states public records law that aims to protect the identities of whistleblowers who expose waste, fraud or abuse by public officials and employees.
I, as you know, feel very strongly about transparency, about open government, am hesitant to add exemptions to any kind of transparency, but this one makes sense, Shumlin said. All it says is whistleblowers will not have their names disclosed unless they agreed to have it disclosed, which is more likely to result in more whistleblowers speaking up if ... they see their colleagues doing the wrong thing.
The public bill signing took place at the office of first-term state Auditor Doug Hoffer, who asked lawmakers to protect the confidentiality of people who come to his office with concerns about potential mismanagement or wrongdoing in their agencies or by government contractors. Hoffer said a records request made to his office soon after he was sworn in required him to reveal the name of someone who reported an issue, according to a legal opinion provided by the attorney generals office.
That seemed odd to me, so I began a discussion with the Legislature last year and expressed interest to be followed up in the fall, Hoffer said.
Administration officials worked with the Legislature and others to find language that would protect the identities of whistleblowers. There was no significant opposition. Even the (American Civil Liberties Union) respected the issue, Hoffer said.
Hoffer said the Vermont State Employees Association urged protection of whistleblowers because of alleged retaliation by the state against some workers who reported problems.
Shumlin said the state takes whistleblower protection seriously, especially after high-profile embezzlement cases involving state employees.
While we know that the vast majority of state workers are honest and hardworking, people who are doing their very best for the state, occasionally things go bad, and if you need your memory refreshed all we need to say is Deeghan, he said.
Former Vermont State Police Sgt. James Deeghan padded his time sheet with hours he never worked, taking more than $200,000 from the state over a six-year period.
Shumlin also said allegations against Lisa Peduzzi, if they are proven and she is convicted, are an example of things going wrong. Peduzzi, a former claims examiner for the state, has pleaded not guilty to five counts of embezzlement by a public official and one count of attempted embezzlement. Police have accused her of stealing about $50,000 from the state.
The legislation also requires the release of records dating from 1891 to 1913 to help identify patients from the now-closed Vermont State Hospital in Waterbury who are buried in the hospitals cemetery and on its grounds in unmarked graves.

Expert Q & A Answers About pelvic nerve
Why can I only orgasm with anal sex? Are vaginal orgasms possible?
My boyfriend and I have started exploring anal sex...and it seems that I can only climax through anal sex. Any ideas why this might be? I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but in my previous relationship my partner was performing oral on me and bit my clitoris. It seemed to decrease feeling for a while...could that be the reason?

National Resources Inventory
NRI Results
/ APPENDIX 2. 1997 NRI Data Gathering Protocols, Processes, and Procedures
Loading Tree...
Technical Resources
Summary Report, 1997 National Resources Inventory, Revised December 2000
For the 1997 NRI, cross-indexed data gathering instructions, training, and the survey instrument were developed to foster consistent data gathering standards, practices, and procedures. The protocols called for natural resources information to be gathered for survey (panel) years 1982, 1987, 1992, and 1997. Instructions and training articulated the requirement that trending information be gathered by the same protocols and for the same locations used in prior studies. The 1997 instrument included algorithms to evaluate trending data for consistency.
Data gathering protocols incorporated NRCS technical standards and procedures, records and maps in local USDA offices, and various federal publications and standards, primarily the following:
NRCS national and field office technical guide (FOTG) publications and standards relating to the universal soil loss equation (USLE) and wind erosion equation (WEQ),
NRCS-published or -correlated soil surveys,
NRCS information relating to provisions of the 1985 Food Security Act and subsequent farm bills,
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service wetland maps,
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Cowardin wetlands classification system,
Society of American Foresters forest classification,
U.S. Geological Survey hydrologic and topographic maps, and
Bureau of the Census TIGER files and auxiliary information.
Data gatherers received the protocols as well as training and technical reference materials in printed and electronic forms. National staffs conducted multiple training sessions to support core work groups.
NRCS national program staff in Washington (DC), Fort Collins (CO), Ames (IA), and Fort Worth (TX) guided and supported the data gathering activities. State or regional oversight authorities supported local data gathering staffs in matters relating to quality assurance. A single point of contact ('Help Desk') on the national staff responded to questions from data gatherers and coordinated technical responses provided by subject-matter experts from NRCS and the Iowa State University Statistical Laboratory.
Twenty-one Inventory Collection and Coordination Sites (ICCS) were established and assigned oversight and management authorities for data gathering. These sites were:
The ICCS's were the front-line management structures responsible for coordinating the day-to-day activities associated with the collection of data for the 1997 NRI. The ICCS leader trained subordinate staffs, provided technical support, and managed quality reviews during the operational phase of data gathering. Full-time, part-time, and temporary NRCS employees - and in a few places, volunteers - gathered 1997 NRI information. The organization of data gathering varied with regional land use and state staffing patterns. Geographic boundaries of ICCS organizations ranged from one state to all or portions of several states. Some collection sites assembled staffs at one central office, while others distributed staff among multiple office locations. The State Conservationists assigned various technical specialists to provide overall support and to work with the ICCS data gathering teams.
Data gatherers used photo-interpretation (PI) and other remote sensing (RS) methods and standards to gather information about the PSU's and sample points. For the most part, they employed analog PI techniques, although GIS technologies were evaluated. The agency contracted for the acquisition of aerial photography or obtained necessary imagery in cooperation with other USDA agencies and partners.
USDA field office records and local NRCS personnel provided information pertaining to historical cropping and management systems for calculating long-term erosion rates induced by wind or water, and to determine if the field at the sample point was enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program. Visits to the sample sites occurred only when aerial photography was not available or was not suitable for reasons of age, quality, scale, or format, or for quality assurance purposes.
Data gatherers entered all sample data directly into hand-held computers called personal digital assistants (PDA's). All subsequent data quality checking and evaluations were similarly based on computer forms of survey information. The PDA's (Apple Computer's Newton MessagePad™ models 130, 2000, and 2100) were programmed to provide an intelligent survey questionnaire with historic information, procedural logic, and single or multi-variate checking for data completion and consistency. The PDA's uploaded and downloaded sample records via Internet protocols from a centralized database server at Iowa State University. The server controlled and monitored access by 'client' instruments and protected survey data from loss, unauthorized access, or accidental disclosure. A secure Web site allowed database access for purposes of survey management, review of progress, and data quality evaluation.
Quality assurance of NRI data was monitored at all organizational levels within the NRI program and was accomplished by several procedures and protocols. These included consistent training of data collectors in data collection processes, standardized formalized written data gathering instructions, documentation, and definitions of data elements; consistent national rules and methods for data collection, and a national help desk to resolve data collection issues.
Quality assurance procedures included the use of data validation software packages on the Personal Digital Assistants (PDA's). Hundreds of data collection rules comparing multiple data elements were run on the PDA's prior to submittal of data to the ISU Statistical Laboratory. The Statistical Laboratory performed additional data validation and consistency checks on all data received. After statistical estimation procedures were completed, tables were generated and sent to technical specialists at the ICCS's for further review and comment.
Quality assurance for the NRI process was guided by instructions, coordinated training, and ongoing technical support. Data quality checking procedures were embedded in every step, stage, and phase of the data collection process for the 1997 NRI.
Detailed soils information is essential for the analysis and interpretation of NRI data. Soils data were provided by the NRCS Soil Survey Program and were obtained from the NRCS Soil Interpretation Record database maintained at the Iowa State University (ISU) Statistical Laboratory. For the 1992 NRI extensive work was done to match individual State Soil Survey Databases (SSSD) with each point in the NRI. This process was designed to verify the accuracy and completeness of the NRI soils database. This work also provided accurate soils data for use in the 1997 NRI. Published soil surveys, advanced (pre-publication) soil mapping field sheets, state level databases, and ancillary lists of soils information maintained in field offices were used to provide critical soils data. Information on soil properties related to soil erosion and other soil-dependent interpretations (i.e., prime farmland) were linked to the NRI database.

Use It or Lose It
By Health Day
Does exercising your brain from childhood to old age really protect your memory?
That was the question posed by researchers in Chicago.
2-hundred-94 senior citizens were given tests that measured their memory and thinking every year for about six years before their deaths.
They also answered a questionnaire asking whether they read books, wrote or participated in other mentally stimulating activities in childhood, With , middle age and at their current age.
After they died, their brains were examined at autopsy for physical signs of dementia, such as lesions and brain plaques.
Analyzing all of the data, the researchers concluded that people who participated in mentally stimulating activities both early and late in life had a slower rate of memory decline compared to those who did not.
In fact, the rate of decline was reduced by a healthy 32-percent in people with frequent mental activity in the senior years.
Bottom line...exercising your brain over a lifetime seems to have a very positive effect.
I'm Dr. Cindy Haines of HealthDay TV with the news that can help you stay healthy, happy, and fit.

Although there is evidence of chemical weapons in Syria, Obama said Friday it's still unknown when or how they were used and emphasized the need to obtain strong evidence and work with the international community. NBC's Chuck Todd reports.
President Obama said Friday that the potential use of chemical weapons by the ruling regime of Syria against its people "adds increased urgency" to international concern about the regime.
Speaking to reporters during an Oval Office meeting with King Abdullah of Jordan, Obama noted that reports of the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian government were preliminary. That information, he said, "does not tell us when they were used, how they were used."
Still, the president said: "Obviously, horrific as it is when mortars are being fired on civilians and people are being indiscriminately killed, to use potential weapons of mass destruction on civilian populations crosses another line with respect to international norms and international law. And that is going to be a game-changer."
On Tuesday, the Israeli military published intelligence findings that President Bashar Assad's forces had used chemical weapons repeatedly in recent months. Part of Israel's concern, and Obama's, is that those weapons could fall into terrorist hands.
Two days later, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said that the U.S. believes "with some degree of varying confidence" that the Syrian government has used chemical weapons, specifically the nerve agent sarin, against its people.
A letter from the White House to Congress said the assessment was based on "physiological samples" but called for a United Nations probe to corroborate it and nail down when and how they were used.
The White House said on Thursday that the U.S. believes the Assad regime has used chemical weapons, an act that President Obama has previously said would be crossing a "red line." NBC's Jim Mikleszewski reports.
The American response is shadowed by the legacy of flawed intelligence reports of weapons of mass destruction that led to the invasion of Iraq.
The president spoke after the deputy foreign minister of Israel said world powers may now conclude there was "no avoiding" action to take control of the Assad regime's chemical stockpile.
British Prime Minister David Cameron also said there was limited but growing evidence that the Syrian regime had used chemical agents.
Echoing the administration's caution, Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger of Maryland, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said Friday that "every option is on the table" but stressed that "we want to do everything we can to avoid putting boots on the ground."
Sen. John McCain, R.-Ariz., said on Thursday that the Obama administration should consider a military approach but not commit American troops. He suggested providing weapons to trusted parts of the Syrian resistance.
The uprising against Assad began in March 2011, and an estimated 70,000 people have been killed in the violence that has followed.

Drinking on a diet? Calories can add up fastAP Photo
An agave margarita and gin martini made by mixologist Jacques Bezuidenhout sit on a bar in the Starlight Room of the Sir Francis Drake Hotel in San Francisco.
The first rule of drinking on a diet is: Dont. Surely youve heard that Americans get way too many calories and nutritionally empty calories at that from alcohol.
But the second rule of drinking on a diet is that since you probably will ignore Rule No. 1, find a way to enjoy alcohol without letting it swamp your healthy intentions. Here are a few suggestions on how to go about that.
Think before you drink
You dont have to give up alcohol entirely for weight control, says Andrea Giancoli, registered dietitian and spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association. But you do have to fit it into your calorie limit. Making that work means knowing the calorie counts of what you drink.
For women, federal health guidelines recommend no more than one drink a day (5 ounces of wine, 1.5 ounces of liquor or a 12-ounce beer). For men the limit is two drinks. Though the numbers can vary, most wines sport about 120 calories per serving. Most hard liquors, such as gin and vodka, have about 100 calories per serving. A regular beer has a bit more than 150 calories, while a light beer has about 100.
Those numbers make the hard stuff seem like a good choice when youre watching your calories. Except that most people arent going to just sip a jigger of vodka and call it a night. And once you start adding mixers and sweeteners and juices, the calories can add up fast.
Just 4 ounces of strawberry daiquiri mixer can add 260 calories to your rum, for a total of 360 calories, roughly the same as a Sausage McMuffin from McDonalds. Even a simple rum and Coke can have 200 calories or more. A vodka and cranberry juice has about the same.
Mixers can really add up, says Giancoli. If you like to use liquor vs. having beer or wine, go for the low-calorie mixer. If youre somebody who likes rum and cola, do rum and diet cola. If youre somebody who likes vodka cranberry, you can do vodka with diet cranberry.
It can take some of the spontaneity out of an evening, but if youre planning to drink its best to plan ahead, tally the calories and budget accordingly.
Ice is nice
Lisa McRee, a former Good Morning America co-anchor who now publishes the popular recipe and diet tip site The Skinny, remembers being on a no white foods diet and being miserable since that included no white wine. These days she eschews fad diets for a sensible regime of good food cooked well, heavy on the vegetables.
The philosophy really comes down to eat more things that grow and fewer things that walk, she says.
Cutting carbs and other empty calories leaves a little room for alcohol. And when she wants to enjoy her favorite chardonnay she slips an ice cube or two into the glass. That makes the drink last longer and dilutes the alcohol, an important point since alcohol is a notorious sapper of willpower.
In summer, shell do the same with a light red wine. While you probably wouldnt want to do this with a heavy red wine such as cabernet sauvignon or in front of your oenophile friends serving wine over ice is not without precedent. McRee first came across it while traveling in Italy in 100-degree weather and seeing the locals chill their wine with a few cubes.
Get on the fresh express
Jacques Bezuidenhout, the master mixologist for Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, has an easy tip for trimming calories from drinks: Keep it simple.
When I approach healthy drinking, I focus on what goes in the glass, he says. Is the juice fresh squeezed? Are we using quality spirits? When you look at those key factors, then really look at what kind of sugar you add to the drink. Sugar is the first thing that will start to tag on the calories or assist in a poor feeling in the morning.
Using better ingredients and fresh juice means you need to add less sugar or liqueurs to balance out the cocktail. He recommends using sweeteners such as agave nectar or honey. His diet cocktail? A gin martini, no mixers required.
One more tip: Buy smaller glassware for your home. If you are constantly trying to fill a 12-ounce martini glass or 14-ounce highball with a cocktail of any kind, your sugar levels and spirit levels will go up, says Bezuidenhout.
Flavor without fear
Look for no- and low-calorie ways to add flavor to your cocktails. Diet sodas (including diet tonic water) are an obvious choice. But many companies also offer low-sugar varieties of juices, such as cranberry.
Lemon and lime juice add tons of flavor but pack just 4 calories per tablespoon. Flavor a serving of white rum with a bit of fresh mint (5 calories for 2 tablespoons), some lime juice and a calorie-free sweetener such as stevia, then pour the whole thing over crushed ice and top with seltzer water, and you have a mojito for 110 calories.
Or opt for juices with big flavor so you dont have to use as much. Pomegranate juice which has just 18 calories per ounce (2 tablespoons) can do wonders for a shot of vodka and a splash of seltzer.
And if youre playing bartender at home, theres always the infusion technique. Get a bottle of tequila or vodka and dump it into a large glass jar. Use a vegetable peeler to strip the zest off a whole bunch of citrus (for example, eight or so lemons for a 750-milliliter bottle), then add the zest to the liquor. Cover and set aside for four or five days, shaking once in a while. Strain out and discard the zest. To drink, spike a serving of it with calorie-free sweetener and a splash of seltzer.

By working as a soldier at Fort Mackinac on Mackinac Island, Niall Farley's summer job in Michigan is anything but ordinary. Today he shares a little bit about what this role entails.
I wake up a little before 8am, get ready and grab my bicycle for the short ride to work. Not uncommon for college-aged folks working summer jobs in Michigan, but my summer job is anything but common.
I am a soldier at Fort Mackinac on Mackinac Island.
Now in my fourth season, I'm responsible for overseeing the daily interpretative programs as lead interpreter. Dressed as a sergeant in the U.S. Army in the 1880s, I lead tours through the fort, clean, prime, load and fire a model 1841 cannon and an original Springfield 45/70 rifle.
This is the 55th year of historical interpretive programming at Mackinac State Historic Parks. Each year, May through mid-October, we open our gates to visitors from every state and more than 50 countries. It's one of my favorite parts of my job, seeing how much not just people from Michigan, but people from all over the world enjoy the view, the history and taking part in our interpretive programs
I was drawn to this job for a number of reasons–the chance to spend my summers on beautiful Mackinac Island, the opportunity to tell stories about this fascinating place, and of course, the hats.
During the winter, I study as an English major at Oakland University in Rochester Hills and live in my small hometown of Almont. While history has not been my area of study, I've become fascinated by the important events that have taken place throughout the Straits of Mackinac, and sharing them with visitors makes my every day at Fort Mackinac an enjoyable experience, it hardly seems like work.
Are you planning to explore the history at Fort Mackinac this summer? Share with us below!

Peter Souhleris and Dave Seymour gamble on a strategy to give them an edge in a tough market – they design high end and they flip fast. There's never a dull moment when Peter's attention to detail gets in the way of Dave's need for speed but the end result shows this duo is at the top of their game. The real question is, will there be a jackpot for them at the end of each flip?

Wis. Supreme Court meets with state lawmakers
Sides discuss requirements to practice law
All seven members of the Wisconsin Supreme Court have met with 20 Wisconsin state lawmakers as part of the biennial tradition at the beginning of each new legislative session.
Lawmakers and court members at Tuesday's meeting talked about a variety of issues related to the judiciary, including Wisconsin's unique position as the only state that allows law school graduates to practice without taking a bar exam.
Justices spoke in support of that so-called diploma privilege, which dates back to 1870.
State Sen. Glenn Grothman asked what could be done to lower law student debt. He said the amount of debt students graduate with is scandalous. He suggested looking at alternative and less expensive ways to get licensed to practice law.

I'm burning through my freezer stash and really don't want to go to formula. I am also dealing with a 3 mo old that is starting to want a faster flow, and I've always had a slow let down....she's getting use to the bottle now. This past weekend she was mad nearly every time after only 5 minutes of nursing! I'm open to any suggestions.

The Sher-Wood T90 Comp Goalie Stick is one of the top of the line options for 2012, offering a durable lightweight design.
The T90 is almost identical to the T90 goal stick in construction with the main difference coming from the graphic design on the exterior. Design features that help with rebound control is Sher-Wood's D-Flector + technology, a proprietary construction that features cross-linked membrane inserted on both sides of the paddle. Reducing the vibration on impact is a Vibration Reduction Foam Core ++. This light, high-density foam that is wrapped with high modulus carbon fiber that keeps the stick lightweight, yet gives excellent vibration dampening and great control over rebounds. The T90 is using a Power Inner Core +, that is layers of material strategically positioned to capture and distribute energy across the paddle for greater vibration absorption. Keeping this stick at a perfect balance, Sher-Wood is using their Equilibrium technology. The weight of the blade, paddle and shaft have been balanced, allowing the goalie to have better puck control while keeping the fatigue down on your blocker hand. Sher-Wood has opted to use their Tradfeel shaft design, squared walls with rounded corners that give the goalie a very traditional feel.
Sher-Wood's been designing hockey sticks and protective gear for over 60 years and continues to make high quality products. The Sher-Wood T90 is an excellent lightweight, durable goal stick that is suitable for any playing level.

- Universal Measurement is taken from the top of the handle to the first point of contact with the playing surface (heel).
Comments: I have used this stick for a full season, now. I used to play with a Warrior Messiah, which is a good stick,
but what I immediately noticed with the Sher-Wood is the impact absorption. Unlike other sticks I've used, when you make a stick
save, the impact isn't transferred hard into your arm, and you won't feel the stick vibrating from the shot. It's amazingly light, at
about 750 g, which makes maneuvering it for a quick save easier, and helps with puck handling. I full heartedly recommend the T90,
the best stick I've ever played with. (That the carbon look is cool is a nice bonus, too)

Template:Quickbar File:Erik making his first adobe stove.JPG
Our group departed from Miami in November 1987. We spent three months at a training center in the aldea of Jocotenango, just outside of Antigua. I lived with a very poor family during training. They cooked on an open fire and everything tasted like smoke, even the watery oatmeal. We ate beans and tortillas almost all the time. My stomach was unsettled during my whole two years of service, and I drank a bottle of Pepto-Bismol about every week (not really). I survived by trading my smoky tasting food for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Out of about 50 trainees, about 45 of us were sworn in as volunteers in February 1988 in Guatemala City.
Volunteer Service
My project was called appropriate technology[1]. Mostly I taught people how to build stoves. The indigenous population was used to cooking on the floor. Basically they would put a pot on top of three rocks and use wood they gathered from the nearby forests. This caused their one room adobe houses to fill up with smoke. The smoke caused eye and respiratory problems, particularly for the children. This method also used a lot of wood, which exacerbated the terrible deforestation occurring in the highlands. The stoves that we built, if used correctly, used less wood. Even if they were not used correctly, they usually got the smoke out of the house. I think we built close to two hundred stoves while I was there. And I know that they continued to build them after I left.
I also taught people how to build latrines, mostly pit latrines. However, we built a few composting toilets. I did not have an official counterpart, but worked very closely with a fantastic individual named Julio Marin Quijibish. He spoke Spanish and the Quiche language. He was paid by a religious based health clinic called Clinica Cristiana. It was a project funded by a church in Falls Church, Virginia. They did exceptional work. They had North American doctors who spoke Spanish and Quiche fluently. I spoke only a few words of Quiche. We also built a few solar ovens and a few fero-cement storage tanks. However the stoves were the most successful. I had a little motorcycle and traveled to many rural areas outside of Quetzaltenago to build stones.
There were three different types of stoves being built in the time period I was in Guatemala: adobe, ceramic, and brick. My counterpart Julio had been building adobe stoves before I taught him how to build brick stoves. The adobe stoves were harder to build and took longer. The brick stoves were more durable and efficient. There was a ceramic stove maker in a neighboring province, Eleuterio Ramos Guinil,who had been trained by a previous volunteer. He lived in Cajola[2] and worked mostly on the coast. My counterpart and I built mostly brick stoves in and around Quetzaltenango. We had two helpers: Santiago & Thomas. My counterpart, Julio, invented a somewhat portable brick stove built on top of a cement slab. He was very smart. He and I also wrote a manual on how to create cement slabs and make pit latrines. Some other volunteers, Barry & June Moline, came to my site and built a large bread oven for Julio, and he started a small bakery out of his house.

For the fourth straight year, Pennsylvania and Delaware have experienced a decline in the number of reported anti-Semitic incidents, according to the Anti-Defamation League's annual audit of such cases.
The audit, officially released on July 22 and covering 2012, detailed 38 anti-Semitic incidents across the two states, one fewer than last year. Nationally, there were 927 incidents reported in 2012, compared to 1,080 incidents in 2011, representing a 14 percent decline.
Of the 38 reported incidents in Pennsylvania and Delaware, the audit identified 22 incidents of harassment and 16 incidents of vandalism.
In one case of harassment reported in the Philadelphia area, a woman answering her son's phone was told to "tell your stupid kike" son to stay away "or we will kill him." In another case of harassment, a victim's house was spray-painted with the words "Get the hell out Jew or die."
In releasing the audit, the ADL typically does not disclose detailed information about the incidents.
"While we were spared a major tragedy this year, this does minimize the incidents that were reported to our office," said Barry Morrison, ADL's regional director, who is planning to retire at the end of the year. "Anti-Semitism is vile, rankles the conscience and has no place in civil society. We encourage the community to remain vigilant and bring incidents of anti-Semitism to our attention when they occur."
Once again, New York, the state with the largest Jewish population, experienced the greatest number of anti-Semitic incidents: 248, up from 195 in 2011. New Jersey had 173 reported incidents, up from 144 in 2011. There were 88 incidents reported in Florida, down from 111 in 2011.

Hell yea!!!
**** no!!!
They should get Chris Bosh instead
Who cares! just fire D'antoni!!!
I want to give D'Antoni a chance. I really do. But after seeing some of his coaching decisions, I can't help but agree with some of our D'Antoni haters on this forum.
Who in their right mind would think that you could guard a 6-3 Steve Nash with a 6-10 Gallo? Or think that a 6-2 Toney Douglas could guard a 6-6 Jason Richardson? I mean, that just doesn't make sense. We weren't doing well as it was, and I understand that...but Gallo guarding Steve Nash doesn't seem to make much sense now, does it? Still the most humiliating part was when we got smoked by their second stringers...
Gallo is not a 4th quarter player (has never stepped-up in the 4th qtr. or crunchtime) so he should never get above 24 minutes per game.
Damntoni think he is developing Gallo into a NBA player by giving him 33 minutes per game this season, but when your teammates have "NO LUV'" for u and your "God-Daddy" coach, your so-call developement becomes a 33 minute of individual-player concept with no team effort.
Nash is a PG, that team-defense takes him out of his game (not a "one on one" defender).
Did u see any Knick teammate help Gallo defend Nash? NO! results 30 point loss.
Since the day the Knicks hired "Damntoni", with Donnie Walsh con-game of a 3-year plan up in the air (just to trade 4-contract players).Originally Posted by knicksin60
The Knicks are such a boring team right now the even talking about them puts a guy high on crack to sleep.Will there even be anything new to discuss from now until the end of June? The only thing that we will be hearing for the next couple of months is how everyone wants Mike D'antoni to get fired, how much Al Harrington and Chris Duhon suck, the potential of Gallo,Douglas, and Walker, and the fantasy lineup that everybody believes the Knicks are going to have by 2011.I've never been this bored as a Knicks fan in my life.Wake me up on July 1st!
While all of us Knick-Fans were on a new high of celebrating the fact of "no more Isiah Thomas" in the front office. Our curiosity turned into optimicism believing no one could be as bad as Isiah Thomas.
I spoke-up quick at not liking either of the Knicks hiring.
I wrote consistently that the Knicks hiring of Walsh, and then Damtoni was the wrong move, and not a forward-move for the team after all the chaos of Isiah Thomas.
Over half of the Knicks roster of players disliked Isiah Thomas, and showed it repeatedly by not performing with any effort in the 4th quarter for two seasons.
The day Donnie Walsh was hired his first speech of a "2010-Plan" upset alot of Knick players on the Roster b/c it involved trading all the players with contracts that goes into the 2010-11 season (4 players). And to trade 2 or 3 those players the Knicks would have to throw in a couple of their young players to get the next team interest.
So from day one, Donnie Walsh received the same LUV from the Knick Roster of players that was given to Isiah Thomas.
And we all seen how happy Eddy Curry was to play for Walsh in training-camp, plus all the LUV David Lee and his agent had for Donnie Walsh the last two seasons. LOL
P.S. Lets not forget all the effort Zach Randolph and Crawford showed lastseason on Donnie Walsh two best friends teams (Dunleavy & Mullin) when they were traded to the Clippers and Warriors....they showed enough effort to get traded in the offseason from those teams.
u get a "PASS" only b/c u are Italian, and have to defend a tier 2 player that is Italian, and a Bum coach that also is Italian.
But for u to think that the Boston Celtics during their Championship season would have given a healthy Gallo playingtime over Eddie House 3-point peremeter shooting would get u sent to the insanity ward quickly.
To also think that the average NBA coach wouldve started a healthy Gallo over an experience Al Harrington, or given Gallo the same amount of minutes as Wilson Chandler, by not playing Hughes or Nate at the SG, and not making Toney Douglas Duhon backup, while playing Jordan Hill & Lee together as a frontcourt tandem to rebound and defend the paint.....then u really should go for a check-up.
Darko did say some cold things about the Italian team when he was a young player but the Knicks couldve used his presence this season, but it became a personal thing by Dantoni DNP Darko for the Italian race
I am glad to know that you think i need a check-up, after what you wrote i am sure i am not the one needing it...thank you
I do not think you deserve and answer...hopefully not all knick fans are like you...at least i hope.
D'antoni is not italian, he was borne in the US and grew up in the US, he came to italy to play basketball in our league, just to let you know a lot of people in the US have an italian name but are american and not italian.
Really, even if Gallo sucks, we have him for the next 3 years. Might as well play him.
Al Harrington is gone after this year. He's not sticking around, so why bother giving him as much time?
