Residents speak out against New Berlin Walmart
New Berlin - During three hours of speakers giving opinions to the New Berlin Plan Commission about a Walmart supercenter proposed for 15205-15375 W. Greenfield Ave., not one person favored it.
There were at least four recurring themes. One was that traffic is already bad there while another focused on worry that the area already has flooding problems and adding a big store with a big parking lot has the potential of making things worse. And even though the nearest subdivisions are some distance away, many complained about the lights that would be on 24-hours a day seven days a week and the noise of cars and trucks going in and out. Increased crime also was brought up as a concern. »Read Full Article(81)

Jane Macdonald says she's always had a passion to work with children. Fourteen years ago she joined the West Salem school district as a kindergarten teacher.
Now, Mrs. Macdonald is what you call a looping teacher. Every other year she welcomes a new class of kindergartners and follows them to first grade. It helps her emphasize the important connection between school and home.
"I spend a lot of time making sure that we make that connection. And it makes it even easier being with the students and their families for two years," said Mrs. Macdonald.
Raising her own children is what pushed her to become a teacher and believe in her students , "I saw the difference you can make with children by guiding them and loving them and teaching them about all the things that are important."
Her favorite lesson is the combination of reading and writing.
"I think you can express yourself so well through writing and so I really try to make that reading and writing connection. And when I see them being able to write, and write the words and spell the words because they're also reading, it's that connection together that you say they've made it." said Mrs. Macdonald.
Another connection that brings teaching full circle for Mrs. Macdonald is her lessons about character.
"We make that connection to caring about others and to really believe in respecting each other and treating each other with kindness," said Mrs. Macdonald, "I think that's the part of teaching that I'm even loving more because I think that's so important to install that on children of this age."
Mrs. Macdonald says her looping schedule makes it hard to say good bye to her students and send them on to second grade. But, she says many of them come back to visit and she tries to follow them as they grow up. Her 1996 kindergarten class from her first year of teaching graduated last spring.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – National Poison Prevention Week (NPPW) is March 16-22, 2014, and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is encouraging consumers to use this time to "Prepare and Prevent" exposure to poisonous products in the home. Annually, an estimated 90,000 children are seen in emergency departments nationwide due to unintentional poison exposures, many of which occur in the home.
From the familiar to the more innocent looking, poison dangers can lurk throughout the home. To reduce the risk of unintentional poisoning, CPSC has created an online Poison Prevention Safety Education Center to help consumers identify potential poison risks and take simple steps to prevent exposure.
"Child-resistant caps on medicine and cleaning products have saved thousands of lives, but there is still more we can do to safeguard and prevent children from being exposed to poisons in the home," said CPSC Acting Chairman Robert Adler. "A few simple and inexpensive precautions can mean the difference between a child's life or death."
Consumers are urged to think outside of the box─beyond the medicine and kitchen cabinets─when it comes to poison prevention efforts. Coin-size button batteries used in all sorts of electronics, such as keyless-entry devices, remotes and gaming controls, musical greeting cards, and other products placed within a child's reach, have been associated with thousands of pediatric poisoning incidents. Potentially fatal chemical burns from a coin cell battery lodged in the throat can occur in as little as two hours.
CPSC encourages parents to identify products in the home that carry these small batteries and keep these products out of a child's sight and reach. CPSC further encourages parents to secure any loose batteries found around the house and to keep them safely out of sight and reach.
In the laundry room, new and emerging hazards associated with highly concentrated single-load liquid laundry packets have prompted numerous warnings from CPSC. These packets, first sold in the United States beginning in early 2012, have led to thousands of children being treated in emergency departments nationwide due to exposure to the poisonous contents of the packets. To address this hazard, CPSC has worked with product manufacturers on immediate and long-term efforts. Now consumers are able to see store shelves stocked with laundry packets with redesigned packaging. The addition of new, opaque packaging and uniform warning icons is intended to deter a child's interest in the product and raise consumer awareness of the hazard. But we still need consumers to be vigilant and keep laundry packets away from a child's reach.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless gas created by fuel-burning products, such as portable generators, furnaces, and cars. Exposure to high levels of poisonous carbon monoxide in an enclosed space can be fatal within minutes. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that there are more than 400 CO-related fatalities per year. CPSC estimates that each year, 170 deaths are associated with consumer products. Portable generators are the leading consumer product involved in CO poisonings, and they can create hazardous exposures in enclosed spaces even when operated outdoors. A generator placed too close to a window, door, vent, or other opening can result in high CO levels inside the home. CO alarms help detect dangerous levels of carbon monoxide in the home and should be installed on every level of the home. Batteries should be replaced every year.
Quick and easy steps, such as installing CO alarms, placing coin cell batteries and laundry packets out of reach and out of sight of children, and resealing child-resistant containers can help prevent unintentional poisoning incidents. Consumers are urged to visit CPSC's online Poison Prevention Safety Education Center and to use the safety guides as an aid in spotting and remedying hidden poison hazards.
CPSC is again partnering with product safety agencies North and South of America's borders to raise awareness about unintentional poisonings. CPSC, Health Canada and Mexico's Procuraduria Federal del Consumidor (PROFECO) will deliver warnings and prevention tips through social media using the hashtag #PreventPoison. Through coordinated messaging, CPSC is continuing the effort to make North America the safest continent for consumer products.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of serious injury or death from thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. The CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical, or mechanical hazard. The CPSC's work to ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters, and household chemicals - contributed significantly to the decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 30 years.
To report a dangerous product or a product-related injury, call CPSC's Hotline at 800-638-2772 or CPSC's teletypewriter at 301-595-7054. To join a CPSC e-mail subscription list, please go to http://www.cpsc.gov/Newsroom/Subscribe/ (http://www.cpsc.gov/Newsroom/Subscribe/).

Project Status: Licensed; In Compliance Phase. Operational: July 13, 2012.
The California Energy Commission approved this project's Application for Certification on December 15, 2010. The Commission monitors the power plant's construction, operation and eventual decommissioning through a compliance proceeding.
Committee that oversaw Original Licensing Proceeding:
Karen Douglas, Chairman, Presiding Member
Anthony Eggert, Commissioner, Associate Member
Hearing Officer: Kourtney Vaccaro
Key Dates
- 5/11/2009 - Application for Certification (AFC) filed
- 7/1/2009 - Commission accepts AFC as "data adequate."
- 4/30/2010 - Commission staff releases Staff Analysis.
- 7/30/2010 - Commission staff releases REVISED Staff Analysis.
- 11/05/2010 - Committee releases Presiding Member's Proposed Decision.
- 12/15/2010 - Commission approves Application For Certification.
- 7/13/2012 - Power plant on line and producing power.
On May 11, 2009, Turlock Irrigation District (TID) submitted an Application for Certification (AFC) for the proposed Almond 2 Power Plant (A2PP) located on a 4.6-acre parcel adjacent to the existing 48 megawatt (MW) TID Almond Power Plant (A1PP). The site is an industrial area, 2 miles from the Ceres city center and 5 miles from Modesto.
A2PP would be a natural-gas fired, simple-cycle peaking facility rated at a gross generating capacity of 174 megawatts (MW).
Primary equipment for the generating facility would include three 58-MW General Electric LM6000PG turbines equipped with a water injection system to the turbine in order to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) formation, and a selective catalytic reduction system to further control NOx emissions.
Power will be transmitted to the grid at 115 kilovolts (kV) through two new transmission lines which will connect to the proposed Grayson Substation which will be located approximately 3,300 feet from A2PP. The substation is expected to be complete before the A2PP project is operational and is not part of the A2PP project. Existing facilities at the adjacent A1PP will be shared with the A2PP facility without modification. They include the fire protection system, water treatment system, process water supply and wastewater discharge system, and demineralized and reverse osmosis water storage tanks. A2PP will receive process water from the Ceres Wastewater Treatment Plant through an existing pipeline at A1PP, as well as service water for domestic use provided by an existing onsite water well.
Expansion of the existing natural gas service would be required for the proposed project. PG&E will construct an 8-inch natural gas pipeline to their supply line several miles from the A2PP site.

Come Rain or Shine. Roy Campanella
I won a nano Ipod from KCAL during one of the Dodger telecast! I picked it up last week. Thank you KCAL!
So brother Vic loaded some music on my ipod.
I was listening to Nancy Bea's rendition of Master of the House. She used to play it for Orel Hershiser and still does when he comes to Dodger Stadium.
The song right after from Nancy was "I get ideas when we are dancing" haha, I need ideas to post here.
The next song was from Frank Sinatra "Come Rain or Shine" It reminded me of my love for the Dodgers.
Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in, or we're out of the money
But I'll love you always
I'm with you rain or shine
Roy Campanella
So I was wondering if I should skip tonight game but not after reading Plaschke's column here
From the article:
The Dodgers are bringing Campy back, and good for them. In a Dodger Stadium ceremony before their game with the San Diego Padres, they will make two contributions to the Roy and Roxie Campanella Physical Therapy Scholarship Endowment at Cal State Northridge. They will donate money to the fund, and a seasonal internship in their medical department for a student from Northridge's renowned physical therapy department.
Joni Campanella Roan, his daughter, is expected to be on the field to accept the gifts. She will be joined by a most stirring bit of Dodgers memorabilia, her father's empty wheelchair. For one night, Campy will be back in front of a crowd he moved without moving, in a house that he helped build even though he never played an inning there.
Heading to Dodger Stadium soon.

Congrats on winning the iPod! You'll have to load it up with baseball-themed music, and let us know what you manage to dig up. Enjoy!
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
Hey Sue!
The Ipd is so tiny! and it has FM radio. Too bad it does not have AM to listen to the Dodger flag station. Besides the Nancy Bea Cd's I do have a baseball CD that I'll load there.
Emma: Roy Campanella is such an inspirational guy. Hope you like your new iPod!
Plaschke's article was sweet. It's official now…everyone has an iPod except me! LOL
I love my nano Ipod! I was looking at a 1981 Dodger program where Roy Campanella was working as a coach for the Dodgers. I wish I would have gotten a chance to talk to him.
Every once in a while Plaschke writes good articles. I did not used to have an Ipod before Mike. Only reason why I have one is because I won it.

That's about the size of it...and much that was announced won't happen until April 2014 in any case. However, I applaud those measures that seek to rebalance the economy as I do the lib-dem policy to raise the personal allowance to £10k,
By why do govts of all flavours have to make things so complicated? And as for the promised investment in infrastructure, what do they mean? I hope its not about recruiting loads of civil servants to tell us that there is no money for infrastructure investment cos its all gone on their wages!
The first thing that usually happens with large government infrastructure programs is that they recruit an army of 'consultants' on a four figure a day rate and stick them in the most expensive office space in London.*
* See CrossRail as an example - there are a few hundred consultant types occupying two floors of the City Group building in Canary Wharf while there are probably acres of free space in government buildings across London, but they don't have a 'cool' address.

"Dealing With Diversity (EDUC 290/CNED 307)" Tuesdays, beginning January 14, 6 p.m.-9 p.m., introduces students to people from many diverse populations. The goal is to help students to understand the different constraints and motivations of people from backgrounds different from their own.
"Art History (ART 205/CNED 308)" Thursdays, beginning January 16, 6 p.m.-9 p.m., is an introductory-level course that examines the works of art that have come to define the Western visual tradition from ancient Greece to the present day.
"Ethics in America (SOCI 290/CNED 305)," Saturdays, beginning January 18, 9 a.m.-noon, examines contemporary ethical conflicts and provides a grounding in the language, concepts, and traditions of ethics. At the core of the course is a prime-time t.v. series that places experts from government, the press, medicine, law, business, and the military in the line of fire. "Faces of Culture (GEOG 290/CNED 309)," Saturdays, beginning January 18, 1 p.m.-4 p.m., is a provocative study of the structure and process of culture. It presents major features of culture including subsistence patterns, organizing devices, patterns for transmission of culture, economics, political organization, social control, and cultural change.
Additional information may be obtained by calling (304) 327-4059.

VIDEO: Highlights of Middletown vs. CRMiddletown's ill running back Jamar Baynard rushed for two touchdowns, as the defending state champions earned a 3rd straight trip to Dover with a 35-28 victory over Caesar Rodney Friday.
The Riders became the first team to prevent Middletown from forcing a running clock, but could never take the lead in a see-saw Division I Delaware state semifinal.
Cavs Receiver Chris Godwin scored a pair of first quarter touchdowns, first on a 73-yard speed sweep on Middletown's opening possession, and later on a 13-yard hookup from quarterback Darius Wade.
Those scores were sandwiched by CR's Robert Holmes, who scored on a 1-yard dive after Kendall Wicks reeled in a 40 yard pass from Alexander Kemp to knot the game at 7.
CR tied the game at 14 two minutes into the second quarter when a 66-yard sweep by Adrian Trammel was followed up two plays later by a Devon Horton 2-yard touchdown run.
Middletown took the lead for good just under four minutes later when Baynard rushed right through the heart of the Riders defense for 43 yard score. Middletown had a chance to make it a two score game before the break by Wade's pass into the end zone at the buzzer was intercepted by Michael Negrete.
The Cavs were facing a 3rd and 6 in the red zone when Wade ran a bootleg, and thanks to some nifty moves and solid blocking by his line and receivers, the quarterback danced into the end zone from 8 yards out, giving Middletown a 28-14 advantage.
2:09 later, CR again had the answer with play action, as Kemp found Laulewasika Bendolph on a 60 yard catch-and-run, and again it was a 7 point game.
Baynard would score on Middletown's next drive, this time from 2 yards out to make it 35-21 after three.
After the teams traded missed opportunities, CR cut the lead back to 7 on a 21 yard touchdown pass from Kemp to tight end Seth Brosius with 4:53 left.
Middletown was forced to punt, but with CR starting at its own 23 with 3:10 left, the Riders went 4-and-out including a 4th down pass break up by Webb to secure the victory for the home team.
The Cavs will face the winner of Saturday night's showdown between Salesianum and St. Mark's for the championship next Saturday at 7:30 inside Memorial Stadium on the Delaware State University campus. You can hear both of those games on 1150AM WDEL, WDEL.com, or the WDEL smartphone app.

UPPER DELAWARE REGION — Joe Hinkes isn't new to the region, having held National Park Service posts here in the past; but the career law enforcement professional recently assumed the position of chief ranger for the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River (UDSSR) and has already begun forming fresh relationships with its various stakeholders.
Hinkes lives in Sandyston Township, NJ, just south of Port Jervis, NY with his wife Ann, son Liam and daughter Eleanor. He finds that his daily commute along the Delaware provides him with ample opportunities to connect with those who live, work and recreate in the river corridor.
Hinkes started with the park service in 1990 in Grand Teton National Park, and shares some history there with NPS Superintendent Sean McGuinness, as both men held the position of river rangers in the Tetons at different times.
"It's quite a coincidence, as there are not a lot of us," said Hinkes. "We both lived in the same place in the Tetons and had one of the best jobs in the park service, floating the Snake River." Hinkes held a post in the Northeast region in 1993, then in 1996 transferred to White Sands in New Mexico. He returned to the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area in 1999 and is one of the few rangers to have worked all three districts there.
With a fairly new superintendent at the helm (McGuinness completed his first year here in February), Hinkes is helping to identify new river safety strategies to expand traditional approaches. Following a spate of drownings in recent years, no lives were lost in the Upper Delaware in 2010 due to recreational use. Hinkes would like to see this trend continue.
"One of the issues is that people tend to drown when they attempt to swim across the river," he said. "A traditional response would be having a presence in those areas. But we need to add new non-traditional approaches involving all the stakeholders. The canoe liveries, campground operators, fire and rescue companies, townships and private landowners along the river—it impacts all of them when that happens. We're looking at ways to educate the public."
A draft Water Safety Program is being expanded, and includes a water safety communications plan. Some diverse populations of river users are drowning with greater frequency than others, according to McGuinness, so new outreach efforts target Spanish-speaking populations.
Another example of a non-traditional approach is the Loaner PFD Program, in which the canoe liveries donate personal floatation devices (PFDs) for the rangers to distribute. "Instead of just the enforcement action, which might involve a ticket or warning, we can also provide them the PFD so they can continue their trip. They receive some education, but also a safety device and it's not a completely negative contact. We want to make a lasting change in behavior."
Outreach is being expanded into communities outside the river valley to educate those who travel to the Upper Delaware. Public service announcements that cross language barriers are one vehicle, and the park service is looking into social media strategies that might include Facebook, YouTube and more in an attempt to reach younger river users. Lifesaver cards with safety messages have been created to engage the youngest visitors.
In addition to safety, enhanced resource protection is a key goal. Recent law enforcement funding of $107,000 has been approved and will be divided among townships and departments. The small NPS enforcement staff increases its capabilities by working with cooperating local law enforcement agencies as a force multiplier.
"We owe it to the fishing guides and those folks who are doing everything right with the commercial use agreements to take enforcement action on those who are trying to skirt the system and take shortcuts," said Hinkes.
Hinkes and McGuinness met with the guides recently to talk about how to work collaboratively. One measure involves applying decals to the boats so rangers can easily recognize the guides. "It's really nice to build those relationships so that a guide doesn't get checked five miles downriver from where we just checked him," said Hinkes. "We're trying to be sensitive to the experience they're trying to create for their client."
Hinkes is also the team leader for the Northeast Region Special Events and Tactics Team within the NPS, and is occasionally deployed throughout the country. Last summer, he served at the Wind River Indian Reservation in Operation Alliance to reduce violent crime. He has also been detailed to Arizona related to drug interdiction on the border. The work often involves assisting other agencies. "It all goes back to building mutually respectful relationships," he said.
As for enforcement in the Upper Delaware, Hinkes said, "You really have to know your stuff here. It's a very challenging place to work because you have to know the ins and outs of the laws and your authority and jurisdiction and at the same time provide the public the professional service that they have a right to expect from us."
"It's all about relationship building and providing a safe and really outstanding experience for all the user groups that come to enjoy the river," said McGuiness. "We want them to come back."
Since 1980, 58 drownings have been recorded on the Upper Delaware River, with 55 of the victims not wearing life jackets. Visit www.nps.gov/upde/planyourvisit/riversafety.htm [1] to learn more about the best ways to avoid becoming a statistic.

- Title
- A magnetic lattice and macroscopic entanglement of a BEC on an atom chip
- Author(s)
- Singh, Mandip
- Abstract
- Atom chips provide a convenient platform to study ultracold quantum gases and their interactions with electromagnetic fields, surfaces, micro-magnetic structures, superconducting circuits and nanomechanical systems. The research work presented in this thesis is classified in two major categories. The first part is focused on the development and construction of a permanent magnetic lattice on an atom chip and the study of trapped atoms in the permanent magnetic lattice potential. In the second part, a new experiment is proposed to create a macroscopic entanglement between the flux state of a superconducting loop and a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) on a superconducting atom chip. The permanent magnetic lattice potential is produced by applying a uniform bias magnetic field to a grooved silicon structure coated with a permanent magnetic film. The magnetic film consists of a multilayer structure of GdTbFeCo with perpendicular intrinsic magnetization. The permanent magnetic structure is mounted beneath a current carrying wire structure glued to a ceramic insulator. The current carrying wires assist in the preparation of the ultracold atoms and for loading into the magnetic lattice. In addition, the current carrying wires are used to produce a BEC in a Z- wire magnetic trap. The magnetic lattice potential is produced by a one-dimensional array of highly anisotropic and extremely tight magnetic microtraps of period 10 ¹m. A detailed study of the reflection dynamics of atoms in the magnetic lattice potential is presented along with numerical simulations. Finally, the trapping of atoms in the permanent magnetic lattice at a distance less than 5 ¹m from the surface of the atom chip is described. The properties of the trapped atoms including lifetime, temperature and trap frequency are discussed. A maximum radial trap frequency of about 90 kHz is measured in the magnetic lattice potential with no confinement applied along the axial direction. A new experiment which combines the quantum coherent dynamics in superconducting circuits and BEC manipulation on a superconducting atom chip is proposed and investigated. It is shown how a macroscopic entanglement can be produced between the flux state of a superconducting loop and the state of a BEC trapped in a magnetic trap. In addition, the detection of the macroscopic entanglement based on a quantum eraser and an entangled BEC interference is discussed. Thus, this proposal provides a platform to realise interferometry with an entangled BEC and to explore the quantum-classical interface.

7 turnovers!
Starting running
People tend to forget that the 2009 Nuggets team would NOT have made it to the Western Conference Finals if not for the services of young 6th Man JR Smith. Chauncey & Melo got most of the credit but JR was extremely focused during that playoff run. I can remember him playing solid D against Kobe, making plays for himself and his team mates. The whole package, much like how he is performing for our Knicks. With that said, JR truly is an All-Star talent when his head is in the game.. and Woody should be credited accordingly for that.
But, the way I see it, Melo's play also seems to have an effect on how JR plays. I can remember 2009 Melo was focused and playing the right way, making the right decisions on and off the court. When Melo's head is in the game, JR is focused in as well. When Melo plays unselfish team ball, JR plays smart unselfish ball as well. It happened in 2008-2009 in Denver, and it is happening again in New York.
Its been an interesting relationship between JR and Melo, they've been teammates for more than five years now. It seems like they have a big brother, lil brother relationship where JR follows on the foot steps of Melo. I'm rooting for both of them to have career years this year. Hopefully, Woody can keep both of them in top game condition with the help of our reliable vets JKidd, Camby, Felton, KT, and Sheed. Right now sky's the limit for our team and both of these gentlemen. I can't wait to see this season unfold.
Let's go KNICKS!!!
Melo for MVP
JR for Most Improved/ 6th Man of the Year

They should definately post a video of Woody running on KnicksNow.
I was so wrong about Swish, I remember I even said we shouldn't resign him after last season. We'd suck if I were the Knicks GM...
Let's just all be glad that he remained under the radar during free agency. JR and Brewer are huge bargain contracts for the Knicks.

I'm wondering however if JR continues to play such an inspired hoops will he seek for more dough someplace else or will he accept what we can offer him which is around $7M if I remember correctly.
If the Knicks win more than 50 games and the atlantic division Woodson should definitely win NBA coach of the year. But knowing the media's love fest for the Brooklyn Nets the award will probably go to Avery Johnson when all is said and done.
Humility is a virtue and pride is a vice.
The move to bring in Woody as the defensive specialist last season was a brilliant one. Woodson has always been known as a defensive minded coach. Being under Coach D'Antoni, Woodson was paying attention on how Mike ran his offensive schemes and spacing.
When he was in Atlanta, he played a much more traditional NBA offense. Now 10 games into the season Woody's team has shot over 36 3 pointers in 2 games and both were in blow-out wins.
To me it's obvious Woodson benefited greatly and really watched closely to D'Antoni's system. Woody's Defense mixed along with concepts of Mike Dantoni's system has really turned him into some kind of super-coach.
When Amare comes back I know we'll see alot more pick n Roll
Has anyone else noticed this?

Billboard of Carmelo taken w/ my cell phone on 4/10/11 on 33rd street right by the Garden
it was D'Antoni.
Forget Coaches like Bob Knight, Red Holzman, and Larry Brown.
You can't mention MDA and Woody in the same sentence unless you are pointing to what a failure and mistake MDA was being here.
...of course it was D'Antoni who came up with the idea to post Melo 23% of our possessions. (Sarcasm)
i have been surprised at how many 3s we been taking so far, thought woodson didnt like taking so many
Great Thread see my thread when I talk about all the other coaches that have lent themselves to Woody like Bob Knight Red Holtzman and Larry Brown
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
Mike D'antoni doesn't deserve credit for anything. He promised to make the Knicks competitive in his first two years as coach for them and did just as bad of a job as Isiah Thomas did. His excuse was that he couldn't win without star players. He needed to have top 10 players in order to duplicate the success that he had with the Phoenix Suns.
He was then given Amar'e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony and led the Knicks to a first round sweep in his third season and nearly caused the Knicks to miss the playoffs last season.His second excuse was that he couldn't win with Carmelo Anthony leading the offense and needed a dominating PG to prove how his system could lead a team to a title. Apparently he couldn't win with just any superstar but needed certain superstars to win.
In his close to four year stint with the Knicks, D'antoni's coaching record was 121-167 with zero playoff wins and had the Knicks finish in the top 8 of worst defensive teams in the NBA his first three seasons with them. And on top of that he benched players that would have helped the Knicks win games.
It is sad how people look for ways to praise this guy long after he is no longer here and are quick to dismiss his flaws. To say that Mike Woodson's current success is due to Mike D'antoni is an insult and can only come from the mind of a D'antoni defender, no offense to the OP of this thread.
D'antoni resigning and Woodson taking over for him was one of the best things to happen to this franchise. The Knicks no longer had to deal with an incompetent coach who miscoached a talented group of players to underacheive. They replaced him with a guy who knows how to communicate with all of his players and knows that defense is what wins championships not an offensive system that only certain players could play under.
Humility is a virtue and pride is a vice.

Scientists at IBM Research have demonstrated that a relatively new memory technology, known as phase-change memory (PCM), can reliably store multiple data bits per cell over extended periods of time. This significant improvement advances the development of low-cost, faster and more durable memory applications for consumer devices, including mobile phones and cloud storage, as well as high-performance applications, such as enterprise data storage.
Scientists have long been searching for a universal, non-volatile memory technology with far superior performance than NAND flash. The benefits of such a memory technology would allow computers and servers to boot instantaneously and significantly enhance the overall performance of IT systems. A promising contender is PCM that can write and retrieve data 100 times faster than flash, enable high storage capacities and not lose data when the power is turned off. Unlike flash, PCM is also very durable and can endure at least 10 million write cycles, compared to current enterprise-class flash at 30 000 cycles or consumer-class flash at 3000 cycles. While 3000 cycles will outlive many consumer devices, 30 000 cycles are orders of magnitude too low to be suitable for enterprise applications.
"By demonstrating a multi-bit phase-change memory technology which achieves for the first time reliability levels akin to those required for enterprise applications, we made a big step towards enabling practical memory devices based on multi-bit PCM," said Dr. Haris Pozidis, manager of memory and probe technologies at IBM Research – Zurich.
The new technique developed by IBM scientists allows to mitigate drift and demonstrate long- term retention of bits stored in a sub-array of 200 000 cells of their PCM test chip, fabricated in 90nm CMOS technology. The PCM test chip was designed and fabricated by scientists and engineers located in different parts of the world. This retention experiment has been under way for more than five months, indicating that multi-bit PCM can achieve a level of reliability that is suitable for practical applications.
To achieve this breakthrough demonstration, IBM scientists in Zurich used advanced modulation coding techniques to mitigate the problem of short-term drift in multi-bit PCM, which causes the stored resistance levels to shift over time, which in turn creates read errors. Up to now, reliable retention of data has only been shown for single bit-per-cell PCM, whereas no such results on multi-bit PCM have been reported.
PCM leverages the resistance change that occurs in the material -- an alloy of various elements -- when it changes its phase from crystalline – featuring low resistance – to amorphous – featuring high resistance – to store data bits. In a PCM cell, where a phase-change material is deposited between a top and a bottom electrode, phase change can controllably be induced by applying voltage or current pulses of different strengths. These heat up the material and when distinct temperature thresholds are reached cause the material to change from crystalline to amorphous or vice versa.
In addition, depending on the voltage, more or less material between the electrodes will undergo a phase change, which directly affects the cell's resistance. Scientists exploit that aspect to store not only one bit, but multiple bits per cell. In the present work, IBM scientists used four distinct resistance levels to store the bit combinations "00", "01" 10" and "11".
To achieve the demonstrated reliability, crucial technical advancements in the "read" and "write" process were necessary. The scientists implemented an iterative "write" process to overcome deviations in the resistance due to inherent variability in the memory cells and the phase-change materials: "We apply a voltage pulse based on the deviation from the desired level and then measure the resistance. If the desired level of resistance is not achieved, we apply another voltage pulse and measure again – until we achieve the exact level," explains Pozidis.
Despite using the iterative process, the scientists achieved a worst-case write latency of about 10 microseconds, which represents a 100x performance increase over even the most advanced flash memory on the market today.
For demonstrating reliable read-out of data bits, the scientists needed to tackle the problem of resistance drift. Because of structural relaxation of the atoms in the amorphous state, the resistance increases over time after the phase change, eventually causing errors in the read-out. To overcome that issue, the IBM scientists applied an advanced modulation coding technique that is inherently drift-tolerant. The modulation coding technique is based on the fact that, on average, the relative order of programmed cells with different resistance levels does not change due to drift.

Avalanches have blocked the only highway to Valdez, Alaska, cutting off all motor traffic to the coastal town of about 4,000 and leading town officials to urge voluntary evacuations of residences.
The Richardson Highway will probably remain closed for about a week, officials said on the town website.
The first avalanches started Friday, and more occurred Saturday.
Valdez officials urged voluntary evacuations over the weekend because water started to accumulate behind the snow and debris created by the avalanches.
A shelter was established in the high school and teen center for people who evacuated.
It's unknown how many people moved out of their houses.
According to the town website, Valdez has plenty of fuel on hand, but food and fuel can be brought to the town port by barge if necessary.
Valdez is about a 300-mile drive from Anchorage, Alaska's largest city.
According to the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities website, crews have started removing debris from the milepost 39.5 slide.
Other sections of the highway are still too unstable and unsafe to access, according to the DOT website.

Goran Tomasevic / REUTERS file
U.S. Marines patrol in front of a poppy field in a village in the Golestan district of Farah province, May 4, 2009.
WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Army has investigated 56 soldiers in Afghanistan on suspicion of using or distributing heroin, morphine or other opiates during 2010 and 2011, newly obtained data shows. Eight soldiers died of drug overdoses during that time.
While the cases represent just a slice of possible drug use by U.S. troops in Afghanistan, they provide a somber snapshot of the illicit trade in the war zone, including young Afghans peddling heroin, soldiers dying after mixing cocktails of opiates, troops stealing from medical bags and Afghan soldiers and police dealing drugs to their U.S. comrades.
In a country awash with poppy fields that provide up to 90 percent of the world's opium, the U.S. military struggles to keep an eye on its far-flung troops and monitor for substance abuse.
But U.S. Army officials say that while the presence of such readily available opium — the raw ingredient for heroin — is a concern, opiate abuse has not been a pervasive problem for troops in Afghanistan.
"We have seen sporadic cases of it, but we do not see it as a widespread problem, and we have the means to check," said Col. Tom Collins, an Army spokesman.
Get an intimate view of the lives of infantry soldiers with the 10th Mountain Division, as they encounter danger and then have down time in Logar Province, Afghanistan.
PhotoBlog: Lifting the veil on Afghanistan's female addicts
The data represents only the criminal investigations done by Army Criminal Investigation Command involving soldiers in Afghanistan during those two years. The cases, therefore, are just a piece of the broader drug use statistics released by the Army earlier this year reporting nearly 70,000 drug offenses by roughly 36,000 soldiers between 2006-2011. The number of offenses increased from about 9,400 in 2010 to about 11,200 in 2011.
The overdose totals for the two years, however, are double the number that the Defense Department has reported as drug-related deaths in Afghanistan for the last decade. Defense officials suggested that additional deaths may have been categorized as "other" or were still under investigation when the statistics were submitted.
The data was requested by conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch and obtained by The Associated Press. The Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps have not yet responded to the request for similar information. The Army reports blacked out the names of the soldiers who were under investigation as well any resolution of their cases or punishments they may have received.
Danger not 'fully acknowledged' by military
Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, said the numbers signal the need for the military leadership to be more vigilant about watching and warning troops in Afghanistan about drug abuse. He said the worry is that "the danger, including the danger of dying, hasn't been fully acknowledged by the military and it needs to be."
Army officials say they do random drug testing through the service and the goal is that every soldier is tested at least once a year. Top Army leaders have said they have not met that goal, but have been working steadily to substantially increase the number of those tested each year.
The officials also say the Army's Criminal Investigative Division has quarterly drug statistics that show that drug use by troops in Afghanistan is not greater than that of troops in installations back in the United States and there is less of a variance in drugs used by troops in Afghanistan.
Rahmat Gul / AP
More than ten years after the beginning of the war, Afghanistan faces external pressure to reform as well as ongoing internal conflicts.
According to Army data, an average of 1.38 million urine samples have been tested annually over the past five years, while an annual average of 106,000 soldiers were not tested at all. Officials said that regular testing is even more difficult in the war zone because the testing facilities are often far away.
The cases reflect a broad range of incidents, describing accidental overdoses as well as soldiers buying drugs from Afghan troops, stealing morphine from medical aid bags or, in some cases, taking steroids, using drugs prescribed to someone else or taking medications long after their prescriptions had expired.
Drugs bought from Afghan Army, police
In one overdose case, a member of the Kentucky National Guard was found dead of "acute heroin toxicity" at his Afghanistan base after a soldier, also in the Kentucky Guard, bought heroin from a civilian contractor and used it with him. The report found that he also had morphine and codeine in his system.
Others more often involved soldiers who were found dead and were later determined to have taken a mix of prescription and other opiate drugs.
ARCHIVAL VIDEO, Oct. 20, 2009: Author Gerald Posner and former CIA Special Agent Jack Rice discuss a report by the Daily Beast which suggests that the Taliban and al-Qaida in Afghanistan have launched a new offensive against U.S. soldiers – get them addicted to heroin to undermine their effectiveness.
The nonlethal cases range from a soldier failing a random drug test to more organized abuse.
In one case, seven members of the 3rd Brigade, 10th Mountain Division were found to have smoked hashish and/or ingested heroin numerous times, including some bought from members of the Afghan Army and police. The investigation found that one other brigade soldier acted as a lookout while others used the drugs.
Afghan farmer: I tried, but have to grow poppies to survive
Opium is a key revenue source in Afghanistan, both for the farmers and the insurgency, which can make money selling, transporting or processing the drugs. According to a U.N. report, revenue from opium production in Afghanistan soared by 133 percent in 2011, to about $1.4 billion, or about one-tenth of the country's GDP.

Zoe Saldana Gossip
Zoe Saldana gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Zoe's dress distraction
There's been some buzz that Zoe Saldana is pregnant. If she is, she wore a dress to try and distract from it last night at the Guardians Of The Galaxy premiere. So, while you baby-obsessed are busy trying to figure out whether or not it's a bump, I'll be over here talking about her hair… As bobs go, this is not the best I've seen. Full Story
Zoe & Blake on the carpet
Joe Alvarez/ Wenn, VALERY HACHE/ Pascal Le Segretain/ Getty
Cannes opening night. Zoe Saldana and Blake Lively at the Palais, both representatives of L'Oreal. Side by side, back and forth, one all in white, the other all in brown. That's a great pony on Blake. Probably extensions. And whoever does them does a great job. The dress bores me though. Full Story
Lainey's Best Dressed at the Globes: Zoe Saldana

Yeah. We are fighting. I can hear you. I can hear you and it's loud and I'm saying, make it louder but that won't change my mind – you can have your silvery Versaces, your safe lacy Elie Saabs, and I'll take this Prabal Gurung because it clashes materials and prints and because I've never seen a better fall-off-the-shoulder strap. Full Story
No Oprah, No Jonah

But first… Yes Tatiana Maslany. YES. YES. YES. And Amy Poehler. YES. YES. YES. Every year, the Hollywood Foreign Press decides to anoint a show, and often earlier than the other award boards. This year, that show is Masters Of Sex, right? Michael Sheen received a nomination and the show is now contending for Best Drama. Full Story
Zoe in love in Capri
It was reported a couple of weeks ago that Zoe Saldana is dating an artist called Marco Perego. These photos certainly confirm it. They spent the weekend in Capri, very romantically. Check them out dancing and kissing and nipping on the street. I like a man who doesn't mind carrying a woman's purse for her. Full Story
Marion & Guillaume kiss in Cannes
Lia Toby /WENN, ALBERTO PIZZOLI / Andreas Rentz /Getty Images
Oh! I mean I was hoping for a few shots together on the red carpet, and maybe some handholding, but this is a MEGA bonus! Check out Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet, director, at the Blood Ties photo call in Cannes today. As you can see, their relationship is right. More than right. And the French press must have been going mad with it. Full Story
Dresses sell movies
Wenn, FameFlynet
This Vionnet dress that Zoe Saldana wore to the UK premiere of Star Trek Into Darkness in London last night is sick. Like, spectacular. And few could wear it as well as she can. Saldana has been killing it on this press tour. There was a Balmain a few days ago -- one of her go-to favourites -- that was also ridiculously amazing. Full Story
Exes in the front row
Bertrand Rindoff Petroff/ Pascal Le Segretain/ Getty
Of Bradley Cooper, that is. While Alec Baldwin and Shia LaBeouf are trying to out-dick each other on Twitter, Renee Zellweger and Zoe Saldana were keeping it all class in the front row at the Miu Miu show in Paris today. Click here to see the collection. Full Story
Best Oscar Repeat: Zoe Saldana
Pascal Le Segretain/ Jason Merritt/ FREDERIC J. BROWN/ JOE KLAMAR/ Getty
The first thing I thought when I saw Zoe Saldana's dress was that it was lilac – like the one she wore in 2010. I was ready to get all skeptical like "what was she thinking?", but here's the genius of it. It's like the same dress – but totally not. Full Story
Single for award season
Jeff Vespa/ Getty
These are photos of Zoe Saldana and Bradley Cooper from December 7, 2012 at an event for Silver Linings Playbook and director David O Russell. They seemed fine. Between these pictures and Christmas though, Zoe and Bradley broke up. He went off to Europe with his family and though she was expected to be on that trip too, she spent NYE in Miami with friends. Full Story
Best of 2012: Zoe Saldana at the SAGs
FayesVision /WENN
It's almost been a year and I still love this dress SO MUCH. Remember Zoe Saldana in Givenchy at the SAG Awards? A beater tank! And she's adorned with spikes around her neck. And it's essentially a slouchy long blouse made from great material that's at once comfortable and super dressy. Full Story

Northfield nixes trash switch
NORTHFIELD Residents voted 97-68 Tuesday to stick with their current trash handler and not return to Central Vermont Solid Waste Management District.
The town uses Mad River Resource Management Alliance for disposal of its trash, but with the recent closing of the Moretown Landfill, which the alliance used, Select Board members decided to ask residents to look at a possible switch.
Northfield left the Central Vermont Solid Waste Management Districtin 2010 for financial reasons after the district had announced it would be raising its per-capita fee for member towns to $3. Northfield had to pay just $2 per capita with the Mad River group.
Select Board member Brad Denny said Tuesday night the board considered the latest switch because the alliance said in the spring that it would have to raise its per-capita cost to $4 if the landfill in Moretown closed. Now, he said, the alliance is quoting an increase of only 75 cents per capita. Denny attributed the smaller cost increase to the towns contemplation of switching back to the central Vermont district.
According to Denny, the central Vermont district now charges only $1 per capita but has a per-bag fee.
Speaking personally, Denny said he was disappointed in the vote because the per-capita costs affect all taxpayers and he believes residents should have to pay only for the waste they themselves create. The per-bag fee, he said, would put more of the financial burden on the individual, something he was hoping would make people recycle and compost more.
As a Select Board member, Denny said hell carry out the wishes of the residents and did not expect the board to fight the decision.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON The House on Thursday cleared bills to keep the government running through April and...

quote gn_x00Dammit man, you made me want to go do the calculations. Here's my results if you factor in affinity and the that both are using Demon Dance in the calculation against a Rathalos' head. (Regular elder rathalos.) If I assumed 0% affinity it seems like they're still close contenders vs. something weak to ice in the green sharpness area. It seems unfair to not count the affinity in calculations, seeing as I could just as easily raise affinity on SSG whenever I wanted to raise affinity on URB.Yup. 3 slots are amazing
anyway, Silhouette sabers G at purple is only slightly better than URB in green and when it drops to white (which won't be long), it will lose to URB in green by quite a lot.
Just realize that S+1 increase the blue bar of URB by a bit. it might be worth it to use S+1. And in the end it will be S+1, SS and RA+2... oh well... it's boring.. I thought I can find a better skill set for it

Like many of you, I spent most of the past weekend elbow deep in a bag of Cheetos while watching the Olympics. "Ha ha ha ha ha!" I cackled, spraying cheese crumbs everywhere, while watching male gymnasts eat total shit on failed high bar maneuvers. "Not so pretty anymore, are you?" I shrieked, desperately hoping no one would know how incredibly, threateningly pretty I thought they still were.
But as I wallowed in confusing feelings and corn snacks, it occurred to me that, just perhaps, instead of the elite athletes, I was the one who was actually the loser. Thinking about it only hurt more; unlike these athletes, the only thing I've ever dedicated my life to is penis jokes, a skill that is unlikely to ever get me on a box of cereal. Not a good cereal, anyways.
"Cracked Brand Oated Wheat? Man, fuck you, Mom."
"Curse you, self-reflection!" I cursed, immediately longing for my home in the warm waters of self-delusion. Which is how I began wondering what it would take for me, a man-shaped beast, to win an actual Olympic medal myself. The final result being this list, a summary of the seemingly easiest Olympic events to win a medal in.
And yes, Olympians (who I imagine to be hanging around the Olympic Village reading Cracked), I understand that every Olympic event is incredibly, incredibly difficult. But certainly some of them are more difficult than others. Some of these sports look like they require "merely" a few years of training and a modest level of physical fitness, compared with, say, the lifetime of effort and freakish sport-specific X-Men bodies needed to succeed in others. I might lack the size 15 feet to be an Olympic-caliber swimmer, but I could probably figure out how a sailboat works.
Unless that needs math. Does it need math? Shit. OK, well, there are other choices ...
7Team-Based Sports (Soccer, Basketball, Field Hockey, Handball)
The idea here should be obvious. You somehow sneak your way onto a team of elite athletes, possibly via subterfuge, and then try to stay out of their way while they win the medal for you.
It's hard to tell from this picture, but the guy at the back there is smoking.
The very nature of large team-based sports requires teams to bring substitutes, who, if all goes according to plan, will never take off their warmup pants. For example, if you're the backup goaltender for a soccer team, I'm pretty sure your primary role is just cruising around the Olympic Village, trying to nail synchronized divers.
The downside to this plan, assuming you're not exceptionally good at subterfuge (not yet an Olympic event), is that managing to get even a substitute spot on a medal-potential team is extremely difficult. Being the second best goaltender in Brazil, for example, still involves a great deal of skill and fitness, which many of us, the non-Brazilians in particular, will probably have trouble coming up with.
I'm not going to dump on curling too much; I am actually a fan, or as much as someone who watches about two ends a year can call himself a fan. But this is another team-based sport, which requires substitutes, whose, if they're lucky, only duty during the games will be "keeping warm."
Substitute curlers almost never get to nail synchronized divers, for at least a couple reasons.
Yes, curlers, I know this game does require quite a bit of skill, and a lot of dreadful practice and effort to attain said skill. But it does not, as yet, require broad, Superman chests, or even the flower of youth. Although elite curlers' physical fitness has improved in recent years, this is still a sport that, at very high levels of competition, involves the regular consumption of booze.

Definitly my favorite 2010 album : Amazing atmosphere, stunning production, bass is really audible and vocals are a strong effort. Guitar work is amazing here, I honestly prefer song "Part II" for it has more guitar work, and the piano ending is wonderful.
My only 10/10 around Metal storm.

Love any type of turtle projects, as my 5 year old grandaughter is in love with all turtles. Due to her grandfather has given her nickname "Turtle" her room is decorated with all types of turtles. Indoor or outdoor designs, it doesn't matter. The fact that she can design them herself is great, for she has a great imagination, and take great pride in her work. This is something to keep us both occupied, as she practicley lives at our house and has her own room here.

I found the wooden oval and candle cups at Hobby Lobby. I'm also having a hard time finding the right sizes of saucers. As far as I can tell they don't exist. Found a 4.25" at Walmart. No luck on the others. I've noticed a lot of the craft ideas they offer have components that are not easy to find. What's the point if you have to hunt all over the city for parts? Discouraging.

hi, i want to make this turtle and cannot find the right saucers. all they have here are 3,4, 5, and 6. could not find the wood oval either, or the wood candle cups in either size. can you tell me where to get them. thank you. nancy

The Jewish New Year is nearly three months old and Jan. 1 is just around the corner. Both holidays are rife with opportunities for personal reflections and resolutions.
Many of us resolved to be more selfless and share our time and resources to help those in need. Super Sunday is the ideal opportunity to act upon these resolutions.
Federation's 2014 phon-a-thon — the single most important day of fundraising in our Greater Philadelphia Jewish community — is scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 9, at the Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy in Bryn Mawr.
This year's theme, "Super Sunday: It's You & It's Me," personalizes the collective responsibility that we share for the health and well-being of our fellow Jews locally, in Israel and in the former Soviet Union.
The proceeds from this daylong event help assure that our Federation is able to feed those who are hungry, enable older adults to live in comfort and with dignity, connect young people with Israel, build Jewish identity and much, much more.
Event Co-Chairs Sheree and Wayne Bloch and Robin and Greg Zappin invite volunteers to sign up for either the morning, afternoon or evening shifts — anytime between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m.
Food will be available throughout the day and evening to sustain hard-working callers.
To register for a shift, or to find out more about the event, call 215-832-0630 or click [email protected] [1].

Toyota reveals all-new 2013 RAV4
New compact SUV takes Toyota stage at Los Angeles Auto Show
Toyota introduced its all-new RAV4 compact SUV Wednesday at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show.
This is the fourth generation for the popular people-mover, and it now picks up more angular styling cues seen in other Toyotas, like the Camry sedan.
Bill Fay, group vice president and general manager of Toyota division, said the new SUV will offer drivers the ability to switch between Sport and Eco modes. In Sport mode, the car will be more responsive to the gas pedal, and handling will be a little crisper. Eco mode is tuned for fuel economy.
Toyota estimates the 2013 RAV4 will reach 31 miles per gallon on the highway, which compares to 28 mpg in the 2012 model.
Gone is the V-6 engine of past generations – the new RAV4 will only come with a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine. Toyota, like many other car makers, is opting for smaller, more efficient engines that get better fuel economy while still reaching similar power levels of larger engines.
Getting that power to the road will be done in either a 2- or 4-wheel-drive mode. Cars equipped with 4-wheel-drive will have the ability to automatically switch between 2- and 4-wheel-drive mode when the car starts slipping.
Inside, Toyota says the interior is going more upscale with available special stitching and a soft dashboard. A back-up camera will now be standard on every model, too.
Safety is a concern too, and is covered with eight airbags, traction control, stability control, available blind-spot monitoring and other features.
The 2013 RAV4 goes on sale in January, and pricing will be announced closer to that date.

text: My baby is 8 weeks old, and I figured out on Tuesday evening that my oversupply was causing him problems. I didn't realize his green poop and everlasting tummyache was caused by me!! Anyway, I did a bunch of research and have been block feeding since Tuesday evening, and haven't pumped AT ALL since then (thought I'd explode a couple times, but I survived unscathed). His tummyache seems to have resolved, and my supply seems more balanced out (haven't been engorged in 24 hours!). But how long until his poop is back to normal? He's had a couple good ones that I got excited about, but the next one would be watery and green again. Is there something else I should be doing?
