"Allan Houston should be in a Knicks' uniform this week, as Jared Jeffries has already switched to No. 1 so Houston can wear No. 20 when he shows up."

A lil excerpt from this article. That's the only thing they say about it but it looks as if H20 is ready to get his spot back. I hope to see the vintage H20 in him, lord willing...

Why is ever one over hyped over Allen Houston? Dosen't anybody remember all the money he stole from the Knicks? How about the fact that his legs are shot and that he dosen't play defence? Yeah I remember that he hit a few shots in the late 90's, but I also remember N.Y. with little to no passion or fire untill Latrell showed up. This will be just another mistake forced upon us by the jackass/owner of a NBA franchise J.Dolan. We would be giving up young talent for an old dog that just can't hunt no more. By the way what is it with Isiah and players with the initials J.J. ?(J.James,J.Jeffries and now J.Jordan) It really hasen't been working out yet but he's sticking to it
I would prefer him over Ron Arrest, but then again, I would prefer a half-empty Coke over Artest. But that is another lame discussion this forum has seen a couple of times over the last months.

Let's...Go...Lottery! Let's...Go...Lottery!!! Say it with me Knicks fans!
he played 50 games in 98-99, and 50 again in 03-04, and 20 in 04-05. So was he really hurt all the time? or was it just the last 2 years. As you said the guy has unfinished business, and you have to admire him for giving us the edge over NJ and elsewhere. The guy is a class act and very loyal. If he still can shoot he can help us off the bench. Fred jones or houston? hmmm. Fred jones can barely tie allans shoelaces. if the 6'2" Sg can even reach them.
Let's...Go...Lottery! Let's...Go...Lottery!!! Say it with me Knicks fans!
He didnt miss a shot, Crawford said. When we played, he didnt miss a shot. I think he shot 100 shots and made 96 of them just to get loose. He still can shoot it. Definitely (he can contribute). He was moving well. I was surprised at how good he was moving.

Yes...this is what I like to hear...how can you double team Curry when you have H20 and Q-Rich on the 3pt line and Zach on the opposite block? Offensively we're going to be tough to stop but defensively we're still a liablity. Hopefully Isiah's defensive notions come into effect.

mr. pringles didn't like me, bujujujuju... he said I'm a ball hog and don't play defense even if my life depended on it, bujujuju.. he's a mean person, bujujuju
Dyke Manphony has had problems with Marbury, Nate, Hughes, Hill, Harrington, Stoudemire(in Phoenix), and Marion(in Phoenix).
It's obvious that D'Antoni is the one with the problem, and unless he gets fired, the Knicks will continue to lose. His ego is too big to successfully coach a team, unless the team is stacked with All Stars and MVPs, something the Knicks don't have.

desde la cuna del chango
Totally disagree wit you bro,
Marbury:Problems wit NJ Nets teamates, With D'antoni in phoenix, wit Larry Brown and Isaiah on the knicks......
Nate: Forever in coach Larry Brown's doghouse, also had problems with coach D'ants.....
Harrington: problems wit Don Nelson.....
you can't blame the coach because of uncoachable players, most of the players on your list have sum bit of uncoachable qaulities in them, so before bashing the coach look at the players......
Moz and NYK 4 Life....."I got orange n blue blood pumpin in my veins"........
Harrington looks like a ****in pterodactyl
He can have fun not playing in Denver, toolbox.
I don't know where I ever got the idea, D'Antoni is a players coach. I don't agree with Harrington about the Knicks, they will be a much improved team. They have an inside defensive presence and they won't be saddled with a PG that couldn't make a shot like last season. Now D'Antoni doesn't have any excuses with this team and he better produce.
glad the knicks are cleaning house, next move chandler then curry!!
He should be grooming D'Antoni's moustache for the opportunity to score around 20 ppg the last 2 seasons.
It wouldn't have happened anywhere else bar maybe New Jersey, Philly or Washington.
His one dimensional game won't help the Nuggets.
Nate: If he didn't listen to Larry Brown, what made you think he'd listen to anybody?
Hughes: Does anybody NOT remember his streaky shooting?
Hill: Was a ROOKIE. He played Jared Jeffries instead of Jordan Hill so we could TRADE Jeffries at the deadline (I assume you mean Jordan Hill anyway).
Harrington: Was also in Don Nelson's doghouse
Stoudemire: Was immature, he admits it himself
Marion: Young, admits it himself
How come likeable players like Steve Nash and Grant Hill have never complained about D'Antoni?
With regards to Harrington, he can eat a dick. He singlehandedly lost two games for us by getting stupid ass technicals (first hanging on the rim, then hitting the backboard on the way to the rim). He chucked the ball and took SSOL way too far with his incredibly terrible shooting. Not to mention though he was a great scorer for the first three quarters he's one of the worst performers in the 4th quarter...ever.
And if you look at the one common denominator in the list of HOF names you just provided.... What is it?
Look, sometimes when you look at D'ant you want to punch him in the nose. I d on't know why. But there it is. Still, look at Larry Brown. PLayers don't have to love you for you to be a good coach.
Bottom line: these players today are selfish, spoiled, and have been coddled since their AAU days. If you give them a curfew they think you're being overbearing. Ask them to pass the ball to the open man who has the better shot, well they think you're being a dictator.
Any criticism is construed as a manifestation of absolute hatred, and an assault on their character. This idea of respect-dissing and how these players misinterpret basic interpesonal relationships amazes me. Their peeps egg them on, and the rift grows....
Again, "YES" is all they want to hear.
With this said, MD earns his reputation here this year. Time to see results.
regardless of what people think of the players that Antoni has had problems with, if you dont admit that he has a poor ability to communicate with his players then your dikk rider, straight up. I mean, this ****in guy goes and tells Q-Rich that Starbury wont be playin in the opening game, Q-Rich goes and tells the whole team except starbury, and we know the rest. Who the **** is Q-Rich?
Antoni clearly has problems with his emotions and communicating with his players, i dont care about the names on the list. Thats still a long list of players that have called him out so if your defendin him then keep being blind.
With that being said I think he can do some good things for our teams offensively this year. We might get to witness a breakout season or two this year, i just wish he would put his damn ego aside and hire a defensive coach.
I've been saying this from the beginning. Allow D'Antoni a proper roster before an evaluation is made. He has a proper roster now. If we are below .500 by the end of the year, he failed. If we're above .500, he succeeded...for now.
@KingStarbury3-If those who support D'Antoni are dickriders for ignoring reports of feuds, wouldn't those who supported Mebury, while ignoring the many reports of his feuds, be considered dickriders as well?

A Lubbock man was arrested in connection with the robbery of two Allsup's Convenience Stores in Portales early Thursday morning.
Police captured Santos Rodriguez, 22, hiding in the attic of residence in an apartment complex at 109 South Avenue I, according to Portales police.
He is charged with two felony counts of armed robbery.
If convicted Rodriguez could face up to 18 years in a state correctional facility, said Sandra Gallagher senior trial prosecutor of the Roosevelt County 9th Judicial District Attorneys office.
"The sentence could be augmented if Rodriguez has been convicted of any prior felonies," Gallagher said.
The Allsup's Convenience Store located on North Main Street was robbed when a suspect held up a clerk at knife-point at 2:50 a.m. Thursday said Portales Police Capt. Lonnie Berry.
The male subject demanded cash and also took cigarettes. The clerk from the store was able to provide a description of the vehicle used by suspect, according to a police news release.
A second Allsup's Convenience store located on the corner of West Second Street and South Avenue J was robbed at 4:50 a.m. by a subject matching the description of the suspect of the earlier robbery. The suspect again used a knife and demanded money from the clerk and took milk coupons from the register, according to the release.
"The officers located a vehicle that matched the description given by the clerk from the first robbery in the parking lot of the apartments on (109) South Avenue I," Berry said. "Officers spoke with residents of the apartment who saw a subject matching the suspect's description enter into on of the apartments."
Once the suspect was located, a warrant to search search the residence for the subject and evidence of the armed robberies was obtained with the help of the DA's office.
Officers entered the apartment later that morning and located the suspect in the attic and were able to place him into custody without incident, Berry said.
"The amount of money stolen during the robberies is unknown and no money was recovered when the suspect was arrested," Berry said. "The knife used in both of the robberies was also not recovered."
Rodriguez is being held at the Roosevelt County Detention Center on $20,000 bond, according to RCDC personnel.
"This is the first armed robbery of the year in Portales," Berry said. "There were about five armed robberies last year in Portales."
Allsup's officials at the corporate office located in Clovis had no comment about the two armed robberies in Portales.
There are five Allsup's Convenience Stores located in Portales. The stores are open year-round, 24 hours a day.

A blog about my journey with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome including HHV 6, EBV, C. Pneumonia, Bartonella, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, and Biotoxin Illness
Sunday, November 6, 2011
I thought I would be one of the lucky ones whose relationship would survive in spite of this disease. But I still felt a sense of insecurity because I was so sick. I could sense an ambivalence and would ask if things were okay and are things okay between us. I was always told yes things are fine, good, okay.
But that changed Thursday when I received an email from her stating she couldn't do this anymore. The previous weekend she was very preoccupied and I kept asking what was going on and finally said to her "this was what you were like before you broke up your last relationship". I was told things were fine and she was concerned about something else. I knew in my heart that it was about the relationship. I didn't want to believe it.
Wednesday night we had an argument because I knew something was very wrong and I wanted to know what she was thinking about the relationship. I had a strong gut feeling that she was thinking ending it so I confronted her about it and said that if she is thinking of ending she needed to tell me because physically I could not handle the stress of a long drawn out break up.
And I got my illness thrown in my face. She said I would never be the same person again because of the illness as well as some other things. I think it was said out of anger but it hurt nonetheless.
Early Thursday morning I called her to see what was going on (I left Weds night to stay with my sister). When I found out she had canceled her mom's visit I knew then it was over but I still held on to some hope that it wasn't. She and her mom are very close and so much alike its uncanny. I knew it was a big deal for her to cancel that visit. I'm sure her mom would have loved to be there to support her through this.
As I write I'm aware that I'm trying to find that balance between wanting to share what happened but not wanting to go into too much detail so as to protect her privacy. While I thought it was rather low to break up over an email after being together for 7 years a part of me also understands that it must have been really hard for her to tell a chronically ill person that she was done.
I'm devastated. We'd bought a house together a little over a year ago. We rescued one cat and adopted a wonderful golden retriever maybe 2 months ago. I thought of us as a little family. I'd lost my 17 year old kitty that I'd hand raised from 4 days old after she was abandoned by her mom. She and I had a special connection. She died maybe 5 months ago.
The master bedroom had a large window that allowed me to watch the birds outside. We set up bird feeders and a bird bath so as to attract other birds. I started taking pictures of them and was pleased that I'd finally found a hobby to take the focus off how isolated and lonely I was. If I was too crashed to go out back I could take pictures from the bedroom window.
I spent over half by SSDI back pay on the down payment for the house. I had reservations about buying a house and wanted to wait because I'd just gotten approved for SSDI and received the back pay and wanted to buy both of us some things as a treat that we'd survived my not having any income for 18 months. I was going to use the rest of the back pay to pay for out of pocket medical treatments for ME especially since I could not find a doctor who thought this was a real illness.
But I knew it was her dream to own a house and I wanted to make sure that happened for her because of all she had been through with me and this disease.
I'd gone through some expensive medical tests the month after getting approved for SSDI and insurance only paid 80% so I forked over a bunch of money to pay for medical bills. By the time everything was done I had little money left.
Now I find myself in a situation where I cannot find a place to live on the amount of money I get from SSDI. Even share rentals are too expensive. This area is already expensive and with the housing market doing so poorly it has caused rents to go up And all of them state they want someone who works and is not home all day. It seems no one wants to live with a disabled person. The only way I could afford anything is to move far away but I can't do that because I need help with some things and I need to be closer to my family.
I don't know where I belong anymore. I don't know how to go through this without the distraction of a job or being able to do things healthy people get to do when they are in crises.
I no longer have the money to pay for medical treatments. Without the antivirals I'm on I become much sicker and bedbound.
I have no idea what to do. Thank God for my sisters' and their family. Both have said I could stay with them until I find a place.
I'm terrified. I can't believe that I'm in this position. Just 5 years ago I was doing my post doc, my private practice was growing and I so close to getting the required 3000 hours in order to be licensed. My dissertation was well received and I was pushed to start writing and get published. I was hooked up with the right people who knew publishers and various journals so it was a guarantee I would get published. Plus the university wanted to incorporate my dissertation topic into their curriculum. No one had written anything on my topic so it was a new approach. They invited me to apply for a teaching position.
And then I got sick one year later. And I lost it all but at least I still had my relationship.
I'm heartbroken that its gone. I begged her to stay and said I would do anything to save the relationship. Anything. But it was too late. I didn't see it coming like this.
I feel like a failure. I feel defective because my body is broken, my heart is broken, I'm broken. I was not perfect in the relationship. I didn't handle my illness very well but I was starting to accept it and grateful I was in a house with a yard. I know its hard to live with someone who is chronically ill. Well, at least I know it was hard to live with me being chronically ill.
I think what partners/spouses/caregivers don't understand is that we ME patients are acutely aware of how the disease affects our partners/spouses. I know I was and I lived with a constant sense of guilt that she had to work so hard. I'd had a rough time physically after taking the trip in August. The trip flared my back and the pain so bad that I needed to get a lumbar steroid epidural. I crashed even more after the epidural. Not two weeks later I needed an urgent root canal. The root canal put me under. The following two weeks I was frightened at how exhausted I was. There's really know word to describe the bone crushing fatigue. We need one because saying I'm exhausted or fatigued minimizes what is actually occurring. It's really not about fatigue but that's beside the point right now.
I have our dog with me because she was considering returning her to the rescue organization as a last resort. I couldn't bare that because Chelsea was originally surrendered to the rescue because her owners got divorced and neither could keep her. She was so stressed at the time that she was eating everything. They kept her in the garage and she ate something poisonous resulting in liver failure. But the rescue organization had an excellent vet and they nursed her back to health against all odds. She needs liver supplements but she's okay. She's a wonderful dog. I can't imagine having her experience that type of abandonment again. She's been through too much and her soul needs healing. She was really starting to settle in before the break up.
Last night Chelsea woke up suddenly and started barking-a different sort of bark-as if she'd just woken up and didn't know where she was or where I was. She was so anxious that I got down on the floor and put my arms around her until she settled down and went back to sleep.
She wanders around looking as lost as I feel. It's as if we are both stunned by what happened. We're both out of our routine. I'm so beside myself with grief that I couldn't figure out which medications I needed to take and I couldn't remember if I'd taken some of them.
I do not know how I'm going to get through this. I really don't. The odds against me feel insurmountable. I've put word out in the ME community that I'm going through this and the response has been incredible. They get it and their responses have felt like they know me. I've been incredibly moved. One Facebook friend wrote "we are a community. when one of us can't fly we hold them until they can".
So I'm taking things one minute at a time. Yesterday it was one second at a time.
I need a miracle. I need to find a way to get more income. And there is so much more to do when ending a relationship when one is chronically ill. It's different-its much more difficult. I think it would have been a bit easier on me emotionally if it hadn't had my disease be the reason she ended because what I'm left with is I'm no longer lovable because I'm so disabled.
I'm afraid of what the stress is going to do to my body. I can't imagine doing a share rental because I don't want people I don't know well to see me when I'm in a bad crash.
Maybe being broken open like this will ultimately be a good thing.
Intellectually I know that rebirth follows death as expressed in nature when the barrenness of winter allows the birth of Spring. It's just hard to have faith in that right now.
All I know is that I'm hurting real bad inside, I'm grateful that my family took me in, and I'm grateful for the ME community. It is an amazing group of people who know suffering. We all share the pain of having an illness that is so stigmatized and not being believed, etc...
The four positive things that have come from this are that I get to be around my niece and nephew as well as my family. And being in a relationship with limited energy meant that I had little to none left over for anything else. Hmmm....I've forgotten what the other 2 are.
(pardon any spelling or grammatical errors-my brain is fried from stress and lack of sleep)

Oh, Terri
I feel so bad for you and what you are going through. It is difficult enough when a relationship ends, but when you are in a fragile place health wise and have been through so much already, it is extremely hard and so unfair.
You are not a failure Teri. You did not cause your illness and I don't think your illness is why your partner left. She left because she chose not to stay and walk through it with you,friend. I am so so sorry. It must be so frightening for you. What a blessing to have your sisters step up to help you. Sounds like you and your dog will comfort each other too. It will all work out in time. Grab Toni's book and hang on to it....grab your Bible if you so wish and hang on to it tightly. Hang on to the words of those who love and care about you. It will get better and until it does rest in knowing that those who care about you are forming a circle around you even from afar..supporting you, loving you.

Thank you Renee. I'm so glad you stopped by and posted what you did. It is frightening and both my sisters' and their husbands have been wonderful. It feels really good to be around them again.
It's funny that you said to grab Toni's book because that's exactly what I did. In fact I fell asleep reading it because I found it so comforting.
Thank you for reminding me about the bible. I have my mom's bible but it's at the house. I'll put in on my list of things to get from there.
It's not my favorite thing to do-to admit I need people but boy does that sound good-to have people that care about me form a circle around me.
Thank you Renee...

I am so sorry you are hurting so badly. I can't imagine how you must feel.
I agree with Renee. You didnt cause the illness and you are doing all you can do at this time.
Please know that we are here to support you.
I'm glad you get to spend time with your sisters and families. Hold on tight and don't try to make the big decisions right now. Give yourself some time. The right answers will come when the time is ready and you will know what to do:)
Blessings to you,

Oh, Terri. I'm so so sorry to read about what's happened. As I was reading what you wrote I became so concerned about the effect this will have on your illness, so I was a bit relieved when you said that your family is being supportive. Try to rest in their care and in the love of your doggie.
I know the feeling that we're failures. But when that feeling arises I know on a deeper level that it's just not true. I hope you know it too. It's not your fault that you got sick. It could happen to anyone.
I wish I could ease your pain. I think that time will be your friend here. Each day, the pain will ease a little bit even though right now it must seem unbearably hard.
Please know that I love you and that I'll be thinking about you everyday as will all your community of friends.
Love to you, dear Terri,

Hi Terri,
I echo everything Renee and the others have said....my thoughts exactly.
Always remember though...you are NOT a failure. You did not choose this disease and are doing your very best to cope with it and work your way through it.
Thinking about you...

Thank you Elaine. I'm very appreciative of your support and your advice of giving myself some time and not to make decisions right now.
I'm trying to trust that the right answers will come in time. I feel so utterly defeated by all that has happened these past 4 years.
It is wonderful for me to be able to spend time with my family. That's a very strong positive thing to come out of all this.

- me/cfs warrior said...
Toni-Thank you. What you said rings true about time. I wish this wasn't happening.
The pain and the amount of things I have to do is feeling unbearably hard. I'm trying to hang in there.
I need to do some work on changing my inner belief that I am a failure.
When I was getting my PhD life seemed so filled with promise. I had no idea my life would end here.
As I was hastily packing some stuff not even quite aware of what I was packing the one book that I just had to have with me was yours.
I've been reading it every night through my tears and I have found it comforting. The past two nights I've fallen asleep while reading it because it has helped sooth my soul.
I'm so glad to know you Toni and thank you for your comments. They mean so much.

Thank you LInda. Thank you for reminding me that I'm dong my very best and that I did the best that I could in the relationship while trying to cope with becoming so ill so fast.
I'm so grateful for your support. Thank you.

What a horrible place to be. Feel so much for your loss: seems that this condition brings one loss after another so that we can be in a circle of grief until we find a way to keep calm and self-soothe: Toni's book is great for that.
Have to say that, however hard things were for you partner, breaking up via email doesn't show much compassion or sensitivity but you need to concentrate on you now and the love and care that surrounds you...your family and the family of PWME who understand all the complex emotions that flood people with chronic illness when trauma happens.
I shall pray that you can find some peace and serenity in yourself and that, in practical terms, you find a place to be and that you can call home as soon as it is right

Terri, I am not sure how we hooked up but you are on my blog list and I have read this one post and feel compelledto reach out: you are not alone!
I am so sorry you are going through this rough time. i am glad you have Chelsea with you, and it sounds like she needs you just as much. Hang in there you both.
i am glad you have supportive family members with you, and niece and nephew to cheer you up a bit. It is totally appropriate to feel broken. Feel broken! It's ok. then feel thankful. Gratefullness is a really good thing. It helps you recover.
Keep on writing whether you write for you, or you write on this blog. Keep connected. You are not alone. You will get through this.

Cusp-I don't see the comment I left responding to your comment but I agree about breaking up via email. On the one hand I get that it would be difficult to do but on the other I too found it a bit heartless.
When I'd read about people breaking up over email or text messaging (usually teenagers) I would think what a coward. I didn't expect it to happen to me though. Not after 7 years.
I'm intrigued by what you said "your family and the family of PWME who understand all the complex emotions that flood people with chronic illness when trauma happens."
I do think its different going through a break up when a chronic illness is involved.

Kati-how interesting that my blog appeared on your blog roll. Sometimes I wonder if these sorts of things occur for a reason.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a response. It's quite helpful.

Hi No I couldnt see your original reply either :O(
By "... all the complex emotions that flood people with chronic illness when trauma happens." I meant all the stress and questions that coem with trauma and which are especially detrimental and corrosive to people who are unwell. they are boudn to be because we do not have the physical, emotional or mental reserves of healthy people and are far more vulnerable.
Still, I see that your intuition and intelligence has led you to take the calmest and least harmful path...i.e. not bothering with anger, contempt or revenge and, instead, focusing on keeping and equilibrium and rising above the fray: just confirms your status as a Warrior (*)

I'm glad you shared this. I know this is devastating for you. I've seen so many people with this illness essentially abandoned and with few resources. For your partner to leave you says far more about her than you. You're a gem and have been such an inspiration to us all.
I wish you didn't have to sell your share of the house and could find another roommate there with this illness and disability to share expenses but I know what you mean about the stress of a battle over it.
My heart and best wishes are with you.

Even if you take immense care with the camera, it's still possible to find specks, especially after you've used it a lot. Also, if scanning old stills, it's common to encounter not only specks, but scratches too. There are, however, powerful software tools that can be used to repair digitised images reasonably quickly and without introducing too many unwelcome artefacts.
Adobe's Photoshop Elements is one such photo-retouching suite and is very effective for sorting out minor defects, thanks in part to its Dust & Scratches filter, but mainly thanks to the Healing Brushes. They're capable of masking major flaws, if used with care. Let's see how to spot the level of contamination in a photo and how both the Spot Healing Brush and the Healing Brush can be employed to clean things up.
Find that dust !
1. Access Levels
Here's a shot from a compact camera (below) genuinely afflicted by an internal dust mote. The speck is hard to see, but it's there, as a major Levels tweak in Photoshop Elements 4.0 will reveal.
Go to your image editor's Levels dialogue to make the adjustment.
We're going to boost the contrast of the image by a hefty amount in order to make the speck show up. Pull the right-hand handle beneath the Levels histogram to the left to increase the brightness of the image, then grab the left handle and drag it to the right.
This is quite an extreme example of contamination, which now shows up very clearly thanks to our contrast adjustment. You can see the black blob against the marquee's scaffolding. To test for dust in your camera, take a shot of some white card and try the same contrast-boosting ruse.
Remove Dust from your photos using Photoshop Elements: A Quick Fix
A Quick Fix
1. Healing the damage
We're using the same camera, but it's at a different orientation, hence the contaminant appears at top right. It's set against a neutral backdrop, so we can use Elements's Spot Healing Brush to fix it quickly. You'll find the brush in the tools on the left-hand side of the screen.
2. Targeting the speck
The Spot Healing Brush works by overwriting the area it covers with the values of surrounding pixels, which is ideal for sorting specks against areas of relatively flat colour. Use the square bracket keys to adjust the brush's size, then click on the offending item.
3. Cleaned up
We've moved the brush slightly to one side so you can see the result. Even though it was a big blob, Elements has managed to near-seamlessly obliterate it. Naturally, smaller specks are far less of a problem, especially those against a flat colour.
A Trickier Background
1. A different brush
Here, our dodgy digicam was at such an orientation that the speck has appeared over the edge of a flag. This is a trickier proposition to rectify because there's a reasonably complex edge to deal with. Time to break out the Healing Brush Tool.
2. Choose a source
The trick is to choose a source point containing a similar pattern to that of the target area. Adjust the brush size with the square arrow keys, then position the brush – in this case, we can use a clean part of the flag a little further down.
3. Move and click
Having held down the Alt key to define a source point, move the brush over the speck and click. A segment of the image will be copied from the source point and seamlessly pasted over the target area. It can take a few goes to get it right, so be patient.

- Can e-marketplaces bridge the digital divide: a WA perspective

- Standing, Craig; Sims, Ian; Stockdale, Rosemary; Wassenaar, Arjen
- Abstract
- Craig Standing, Ian Sims, Rosemary Stockdale and Arjen Wassenaar are debating the capacity of government sponsored e-marketplaces to act as bridges of the digital divide experienced by small and medium sized firms in the Australian context. They raise questions related to the capacity of such firms to reap the benefits of participation in such digital network arrangements and explore them in the context of two cases, a central and a regional government marketplace innitiative. Factors emerging through this study include shared ownership structures, the move from transaction to collaboration and information sharing business models, and the need to provide a wider rationale for marketplace development beyond narrow conceptions of direct economic returns.

- Hybrid phase-space simulation method for interacting Bose fields
- Author(s)
- Hoffmann, Scott E.; Corney, Joel F.; Drummond, P. D.
- Abstract
- We introduce an approximate phase-space technique to simulate the quantum dynamics of interacting bosons. With the future goal of treating Bose-Einstein condensate systems, the method is designed for systems with a natural separation into highly occupied (condensed) modes and lightly occupied modes. The method self-consistently uses the Wigner representation to treat highly occupied modes and the positive- P representation for lightly occupied modes. In this method, truncation of higher-derivative terms from the Fokker-Planck equation is usually necessary. However, at least in the cases investigated here, the resulting systematic error, over a finite time, vanishes in the limit of large Wigner occupation numbers. We tested the method on a system of two interacting anharmonic oscillators, with high and low occupations, respectively. The hybrid method successfully predicted atomic quadratures to a useful simulation time 60 times longer than that of the positive- P method. The truncated Wigner method also performed well in this test. For the prediction of the correlation in a quantum nondemolition measurement scheme, for this same system, the hybrid method gave excellent agreement with the exact result, while the truncated Wigner method showed a large systematic error.

The different heights of trucks and cars have always constituted a safety problem in traffic, not least if a head-on collision should occur.
Now, we are proud to offer a solution in the shape of Volvo's Front Underrun Protection System (FUPS), which is fitted as standard on Volvo FH and Volvo FM models.
The FUPS prevents passenger cars from becoming wedged under the truck's front in a frontal collision, and thereby reduces the risk of serious injuries and increases the survival rate for the car's occupants.
The underrun protection beam serves as a 200 mm deep crumple zone, considerably reducing penetration into the car's passenger compartment. With the truck bumper situated on the same level as that of a typical car bumper, the deformation zone of the car can be utilised in the best possible way.
The FUPS comes fully integrated into the cab's structure in the FH and FM series, but does not add any extra weight.
The versatile specialist with excellent handling and operating economy.
Volvo FMX, the modern construction truck, packed with innovative solutions and groundbreaking features.

Can't blame this one on Zito
Dodgers 2, Giants 1
LP: Romo (0-1)
Giants HR: Uribe (1)
Record: 8-4, 1st in NL West, 2 games ahead of Colorado, Los Angeles and San Diego
Told you the Giants should have saved some runs for Sunday.
They only got one on Sunday, and that wasn't enough. Usually, it isn't. But on Sunday, it almost was.
Barry Zito pitched seven scoreless innings and took a 1-0 lead into the eighth on the strength of Juan Uribe's home run. But Zito's one-out walk to Garret Anderson (is there anything worse than a former 2002 Angel now playing for the Dodgers???) led to his exit from the game.
Sergio Romo hung a 1-2 slider to Manny Ramirez, and Ramirez pounded it for a two-run homer. And the Dodgers went on to win, 2-1.
As frustrating as watching the Giants only manage four hits off Dodgers pitching, there is one thing to take away from this loss — Barry Zito is pitching great.
In 2007, Barry Zito was terrible in April. In 2008, he was just as bad. But last season, Zito actually pitched well, even though his win-loss record didn't show it. That's because he got a severe lack of run support (kinda like what he got Sunday).
But Zito is 2-0 with a 1.86 ERA in April this season. Zito was a decent pitcher in the second half of the season in both 2007 and 2008. So if Zito is going this well in April, what's yet to come this season.
We'll take that as a good sign.
Time to move on from Dodger Stadium, and focus on winning some games in San Diego.
Matt Cain gets the call on Monday night against the Padres.
1 Comment
Going into the dodger series,the Giants had an extra day off.Lincecum had his full rest and could have pitched the first game,Zito the second,and Cain the third.Wellenmeyer should have been by passed.If this had been done we would have won two games insted of one.I guess our manager can't think that far ahead.After all we were playing the dodgers,who are the favorites to win the division.

STATEMENT From the Office of State Senator Kel Seliger, District 31
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 4, 2012 Contact: Gina Dowdy, (806) 374-8994
AUSTIN--Today, Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst appointed Senator Kel Seliger as Chairman of the Senate Higher Education Committee.
"I appreciate the opportunity to work with our colleges, universities, and community colleges, and the members of the committee to address one of the greatest challenges of the Legislature. The future and success of our state depends upon a well-trained and well educated workforce. We begin work today to try to ensure that every Texan who wants a higher education has an affordable opportunity."

"'Stories' is a good word to apply to that," Pettine said.
Pettine was asked whether there is absolutely nothing to that NFL Network report.
"We're not going to comment on every story that's out there," he said. "We made a move to strengthen our quarterback room, and you just get these stories coming out. I don't want to be in the habit of commenting on all of them. I really addressed that situation yesterday."
On Tuesday, Pettine announced that rookie Johnny Manziel and the veteran Hoyer will split first-team reps in Monday night's preseason game against the Washington Redskins. The Browns also signed quarterback Rex Grossman, who was with Washington from 2010 to 2013 where Browns offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan was the offensive coordinator for the Redskins.
Pettine said Grossman, a 12th-year veteran, could help both Manziel and Hoyer. Pettine said Grossman stepped right in with his knowledge of the offense.
"He went in the meeting room and they have all the installations up on the board and I think he processed it pretty quickly," Pettine said of Grossman. "There were a couple of minor tweaks to it, but it's all stuff that he's run before that he's comfortable with."
Pettine, speaking on ESPN Radio's "Mike & Mike" show Wednesday morning, acknowledged that Manziel is "slightly ahead" of where the Browns expected him to be.
"He's been impressive. He's probably slightly ahead of the learning curve where we figured he would've been," Pettine said. "I think a big part of it for him is it's essentially him getting the playbook and it has been for a while. And I think he's finally starting to settle down with it."
---Michael Vick, speaking from personal image-building experience, offered words of advice to Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice.
Rice recently spoke for the first time since entering a diversion program as part of a high-profile domestic violence case.
Vick, now with the New York Jets, has been battling to mend public perception after his conviction on dogfighting charges in 2007.
"I think the most important thing that you can do is to try to make amends for what you've done," Vick told NJ.com. "I think you have to show people that you're trying to help yourself and bring awareness to that situation to help others, to prevent it. You've got to become an advocate."
Rice was arrested Feb. 15, after he allegedly struck his then-fiancee, and now wife, Janay Palmer unconscious during an altercation at an Atlantic City hotel. Video surfaced online showing Rice dragging an unconscious Palmer out of an elevator.
---The Atlanta Falcons traveled to the Houston Texans' facility for the first of two days of joint practices.
The Falcons are coming off a 16-10 victory over the Miami Dolphins to kick off their preseason, but the offense is striving for more consistency heading into Saturday's game against the Texans.
"We just want to continue to improve, and I think we've done a good job of that," quarterback Matt Ryan said following Wednesday's practice. "The biggest thing is consistency. I think you have to be consistent across the front offensive line, the running backs and the wide receivers. Everyone has to be on the same page."
---Inside linebacker Brian Cushing practiced for the first time this year with the Texans and could play in Saturday's preseason game.
Cushing, 27, was activated from the physically unable to perform list. He hits the field determined to shake the injury-prone label tagged on him because of 20 games lost to injury the past two seasons.
Cushing had a broken fibula and torn LCL that caused him to miss most of last season. He was hurt Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs on a low block by running back Jamaal Charles.
---Oakland Raiders second-year tight end Nick Kasa likely tore his ACL in practice which will sideline him for the season, according to reports.
Kasa was carted off the field because of the knee injury during Tuesday's joint practice with the Dallas Cowboys.
"Preliminary reports are an ACL (tear)," Allen said, according to CSNBayArea.com. "If that's the case, he would be done for the year."
---The Tennessee Titans signed center Steve Vallos and linebacker Kendrick Adams.
The Titans also waived linebacker David Gilbert and offensive lineman Viondy Merisma to make room for the additions.

Games at San Francisco and Upcoming Home Stand. Carne Asada Baby!
After tonight's game against The Giants, the Dodgers will return for an 11 game homestand against SD (4) AZ (2), WA (2), and SF (3) Woohoo! I can't wait to see the Boys in Blue!!
In the meantime the series against the Giants is tied 1-1. We lost the first game and won the second one. Billz went 7 1/3 innings in a gutsy performance but Broxton got the cheap win with Ohman getting the save, Howry got the loss.
Here are some Mannyfunny quotes from http://losangeles.dodgers.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20090428&content_id=4471972&vkey=recap&fext=.jsp&c_id=la
With the game tied, 3-3, Ramirez led off the top of the ninth inning with his third double of the night.
"They call me double-maniac," said Ramirez, 3-for-3 with two walks and two runs scored. "I set the table now. Ethier is the hitting machine. He's the RBI man."
Lots of giveaways for this homestand.

I wish I could be there for the fleece blanket. Great giveaway. Good luck tonight against the Giants.
I hope you have a great time and enjoy the event with Andre! It looks like a lot of fun!
Come on over! I still remember the time when they made a mistake on one of the blankets and they had to give us vouchers for replacements. I hate to admit it but they put wrong year.
I plan on wearing my Dodger poncho if is cold. Might use my Mexican hat again.
Hey Emma, I'll gladly trade you Joel Hanrahan (whom I now refer to as Joel Blownsaverahan) for one of those fleece blankets!
Lol Shelley! thanks for the laugh. I needed that with the whipping we are getting from the Giants. We are losing 7-0. correction: We just scored a run!
Emma- Have a great time with Andre Ethier! I often wonder how many people tell him they read his blog… And man, you're making bank on the home stand giveaways!!
Andre has not started a new thread in his blog for a while but I know a review of a Korean BBQ restaurant in LA is coming.
Emma – How are you doing? I've been really busy this week! Hope things are going well in the Dodgers nick of the woods!
Hey Canuck. I am doing fine except I just heard one of our Dodger beat reporters got laid off from his newspaper. Very sad…that is the second one we lose. I am busy too, need to get a request done for auditors so no time to start a new thread and I got a meeting soon. Have a good time at the festival
Everything sounds yummy. Looks like you are going to have a busy week.
Hi StLRed,
I feel like I just came back from a road trip. I've been so buy with work, Dodgers in town, Carne Asada and over commitments that I have not had a chance to start another thread here and read other bloggers and other forums.
Thanks in favor of sharing such a good idea, piece of writing is nice, thats why i
have read it fully

Weekend links: Hold it
Then again, the Tea Party/Republican party at large thinks smart growth legislation is actually an attempt to abolish private property and turn the nation into a collectivist state.
Also, as much as I dislike Ron Paul, his sale strategy is quite awesome: BuyRonPaulsHouse.com.
There is a simple solution reroute buses so that the start and end points are places where the drivers could use the restroom. I dont know about all buses but most in the Beltway and almost all in DC could be extended or rerouted to nearby MetroStations, local Malls, or Shopping Centers.
In many countries bus routes travel from Bus Depot to Bus Depot or Bus Depot to Station, which fixes many problems we have here; bathroom breaks, broken down buses, changing operators etc. But since that is not done here and could not be done due to placement of the depots there will have a hard time finding a solution.
Not necessarily. An ongoing problem with downtown is the lack of public restrooms. WMATA and DPW could partner up and install public restrooms along bus routes, solving two problems at once.
by OctaviusIII on Dec 31, 2011 1:40 pm • link • report
Installing public restrooms downtown does nothing for the rest of the area. Many places are more isolated than downtown and should be handled first.
Think about the bus routes that travel out into Laurel, Crofton, Bowie, Burtonsville, Clinton, Indian Head etc, where would you find a bathroom at.
One good example would be the Metrobus C18 that use to travel to Waldorf it was long and there was no place or time to use the bathroom, since the bus never had a layover in Waldorf.
Would you install public restrooms along every bus routes ? it would be cheaper and less of a hassle to reroute every bus to a station.
The only buses that I could think of in DC that could not be rerouted to start and end at a Metrostation without adding a long distance or amount of time to the route are the E6, M4, B2, B8, B9 and some A lines every other bus route in DC is within 2 miles from a station so they could easily be extended to a station.
Well I expect rich people to live in big houses but what is interesting is that normal people are paying not insignificant sums to live somewhere where they trade a lot of space for location. Sure 850 could buy them a lot more Sq. footage somewhere else but they're choosing downtown. So yes we should pay attention when people are really hungry for affordable living in an urban area. And in a blog about urban issues isn't it noteworthy to note that the candidates largely are from rural/suburban areas.
I drove up I-95 north tonight and saw the new message board signs: e.g., Beltway 35 miles, 39 minutes. Wondered if they just guessed based on traffic counts and speed of passing cars.
But if you look carefully, there are overhead sensors every so often - not the EZ-Pass ones, either, but something stranger. They look like cones. So these things are noting Bluetooth signals and identifying individual transmitters?
How Orwellian!
That's how Google Maps (and your GPS) operates.
Yes it's Orwellian ... Combine that with the thousands of cameras in the DC area alone that can be tapped by centralized communications offices, and the ongoing mining of data and voice communications, and it's far more Orwellian than even George Orwell could have imagined.
Not sure what you're describing is "Orwellian". In the dystopia Orwell described in "1984", everyone had a TV in their home as well. We've seen TV ownership grow to be practically universal. Very troubling.
Fortunately, ownership is falling, so the forces of freedom are on the march!
For an urban-centered constituency, the fact that GOP candidates are from suburbia is concerning. They would probably have little sympathy for transit or density-related concerns, and that's what's interesting.
The Vancouverites that take the VERY small apartments is a sign of an extremely constrained housing market, and also a sign that some value location so much that they're willing to rent something so small for a fairly inflated price. This has implications for units-per-acre density limits and other zoning codes.
by OctaviusIII on Jan 1, 2012 2:14 pm • link • report
No idea how it's done down here, but up north, it's done with EZ-pass sensors. The equipment is a lot smaller, because the system doesn't need to be as precise, catch every car, or shoot photos.
When I visited a couple years ago, there was a nice haberdasher across the street from my hotel. Ties cost $150.

Surprised this went unnoticed.
Quotes like this from McDermott are very worrying. I can't see them pulling the plug completely but are we looking at another move?
Hopefully, I think the Quins experiment has failed. It was worth a risk but they are trapped in a situation where they are totally overshadowed by a club that 95% of people can't differentiate them from.

Just don't be prepared to go with the postcode lottery again - if your GP won't refer you to someone who isn't local, then pay to go private, it's worth it to see the right person. Also, you can ask for a complete list of hospitals that they are allowed to immediately refer you to for orthopaedic treatment from your GP surgery manager. That would allow you to check who is where and know whether there is anyone local worth seeing (for example, Mr Cole would have been worth seeing wherever he was, when he moved on from QMC - you never know when someone really good may have moved to your local to essentially found a new department, or upgrade the existing one )

Reviews for this host's other properties
Nice room. Great host.
I definitely enjoyed my stay in this house. The place looks exactly like the pictures. It's very clean, as someone often comes to clean the kitchen and bathroom. There is breakfast cereal, oatmeal and tea and instant coffee available, and they have all of the utensils necessary to cook your own meals. If you don't want to do so, there are many takeaway options and food markets nearby. Each room gets a compartment of the fridge, so it's easy to keep track of what's yours.
It's in a nice neighborhood, close to many fun markets and stores. There's an underground station 5 minutes away (Aldgate East) which makes it easy to get around the city and is still in zone 1. The neighborhood has some parks too, and is relatively quiet.
I'd definitely recommend staying here.
Hi, we just stayed in August in apartment and everything was allright. The keys was there when we arrived. The bathrooom and kitchen were clean. Our room was clean and street little bit noisy, but we get used to it. There is Tesco infront of house, and we could cook some food also. In neighborhood, there are plenty resturants and bus stop few metres from apartment. People who shares the flat, also tourist were nice.I recommend to buy an oyster card when you travel many days in London, for example for 7 days permanent, because you press down your money for public transport for 6-7 pound a day. Normally this money is for one ride (4-5 pound). Also my girlfriend was ok with accomodation and if we go again to London we can stay in the same spot. For breakfest you can take cornflakes, wifi is free and the apartment is around 20 minuttes to centre of London. The tube station is 3-5 minuttes walk. There is also cinema and nice cafes and restaurants near location, but what I appriciated was that the Tower Bridge was only 25 mittues a walk with a bay , where night life in bars going on, and where we went to famous The Dickens pub and had brtitish beer. If you depend on luxury accomodation, just have hotel, but for good money, the accomodation was perfect.
Noisy, no coffee for breakfast as written in the booking, more than 2 dass no cleaning service (which is quite rude if 7 people share one bathroom), but hot shower, centrally located and nice sleeping room.
Very nice room and close to Tower Hill.
Recommendable apartment!!!
Very nice room in a very nice flat.
Flat's clean and comfortable and pretty central, the price/performance ratio is very good.
A small supermarket is just around the corner and Liverpool street station isn't very far either, perfect for a short trip.
Everything fine. Thank you
Cheap hostel in London, spacious rooms on zone 2, but thats at all.
I didn't see the hoster (kazzos) ever, I only see the cleaner 1 time in a week.
Rats in the building, and he asigned the same room for two diferent couples in the same day. He didnt managed nothing and we had to solve the trouble by ourselves.
We stayed here for three nights. It's really close to the centre of London, which makes traveling easy. The tube is only a couple of minutes away. The room itself was perfectly fine for two people. Everything in the house is nice and clean and we really enjoyed our stay here. The house can be a bit noisy, so if you're a light sleeper don't forget to bring your earplugs with you.
Very professional contact, had everything I needed. Didn't actually meet Kaz, but the room was great and the location is perfect as well!

Practicing from an uphill lie will help you learn to distribute your weight better on the back swing. It will also help you become a better ball-striker and more aggressive on the forward swing.
Start by finding a gentle upslope. Because of the slope, it's easier to feel your weight shifting to your back foot.
A lot of people focus so much on keeping their head still that they lose the perspective of transfering weight from foot to foot. Practicing on a gentle uphill slope makes it easier to feel the shift in energy.
When you get more comfortable with this feeling, you'll be able to bring that shift to your normal swing.

A focal point of the meeting was the updating of the museum's air conditioning system. RMA officials state that the upgraded air conditioning system will be in place soon and is an important improvement to the museum and necessary for providing patrons with a comfortable museum experience.
"The system should be up and going soon," said RMA Vice-President Mary Beth Morgan after the meeting. "A big thanks to several of the museum members who have made arrangements for this to happen."
Other facility improvements soon to follow include window blinds, awning and floor covering. The overall improvements and upgrades are going toward the ultimate goal of fully restoring the museum and reopening it again to full and regular operating hours in the near future.
The Runge Museum is also making plans for the Fourth of July celebration and will be a part of the city's festivities and activities on that day. The museum will be open on July 4 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Festive American flags will be available and cold drinks will be for sale outside of the museum.

text: I have the Medela PIS with the standard 24 mm breast shields. Pumping is uncomfortable so I started reading up on whether I needed a different size breast shield. From what I read, everything indicated that I should be using a larger breast shield. That is until I read that if a woman has nipples the size of quarters then a large is the right size and half dollar size nipples warrant an extra large. My nipples are not even close to a quarter in size (if it is the circumference of the actual nipple, mine are smaller than a dime) which made me think a small might be the appropriate size for me. But like I said, all of my "symptoms" are in line what needing a larger shield. Does anyone know anything about this stuff?

While some set aside a few hours a week to themselves, Michelle Williams, a 37-year-old mother of two, decided to start a home business, a website company called Pixels in My Pocket.
ŌĆ£I really just missed having something that was mine. I missed contributing to my family finances,ŌĆØ Williams said.
An English literature graduate, Williams learned how to build, setup and maintain a website from a friend and former co-worker. Now, she has a suite of different, ready-made website designs for businesses that want something simple and easy to keep up.
ŌĆ£It is very affordable. You can have a really cute website up and running for $15,ŌĆØ Williams said.
Prices for WilliamsŌĆÖ site designs vary depending on the features included and whether the business wants her to operate and update the website. She can also design custom sites specific to a particular business and help bolster its online presence.
For a small investment, every small business can have a website, Williams said. It doesnŌĆÖt have to be a major undertaking as a simple template will do. In the digital age, however, having a site for people to visit gives businesses more validity.
ŌĆ£It just gives people confidence in a businesses,ŌĆØ Williams said.
Because she is still a stay-at-home mom to her 8-year-old daughter and 4-year-old son, Williams said she had to figure out how to juggle both her kidsŌĆÖ needs and those of her clients. While she is available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Williams often works some odd hours to finish tasks while the kids are asleep.
ŌĆ£It has been a transition for us, but it has been really good,ŌĆØ she said, adding that it helps that her daughter is old enough to help around the house.
Williams won the Haywood County Chamber of CommerceŌĆÖs Business Start-Up Competition this year, which included a $10,000 prize.
The money was the boost her budding business needed, Williams said, and it helped her buy new equipment necessary for her job.
ŌĆ£I am so grateful,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£The money that I make in my business goes to support my family, and I just donŌĆÖt have the money to invest.ŌĆØ
In addition to buying new Adobe graphic design products and an iPad, Williams purchased a much-needed new computer. Her previous one was 6 years old, which in computer years seems like decades.
ŌĆ£It was crashing on me all the time,ŌĆØ she said.
After moving from place to place with her parents as a child, Williams said she is happily settled in Waynesville with her husband, daughter and son.
ŌĆ£We love it,ŌĆØ Williams said. ŌĆ£I am so excited to start this business in this area.ŌĆØ
