HOW TO READ THIS TABLE: Candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives typically get the majority of their campaign dollars from donors within their home state. Read more...
Senate candidates show a variety of patterns, depending on the size of the state and the wealth of its economic base. Candidates in states like New York, California and Texas may get most of their money from their constituents, while those in the most sparsely populated states may get nearly all their money from out of state.
As a general rule, incumbents get more out-of-state money than challengers, a reflection of their status as members of Congress and the wider circles in which they travel. Challengers and newcomers are rarely well known outside their state, so their ability to raise funds beyond their district is more limited.
"No State" means that there was no state listed on contribution report.
METHODOLOGY: The numbers on this page are calculated from contributions of more than $200 from individuals, as reported to the Federal Election Commission. PAC dollars are not included.

HOW TO READ THESE TABLES: The search for campaign cash makes "dialing for dollars" one of the most time-intensive parts of any political campaign. Where do all those well-heeled donors live? For most candidates, the richest source of large individual contributions will be the most populous metro areas within their state or district. Many incumbents also draw significant sums from the nation's capital. Senators and other high-profile incumbents may draw from the Big Three sources of campaign cash nationally: New York City, Washington, DC and Los Angeles.

HOW TO READ THESE TABLES: Nearly every candidate running for Congress or other high political office has a "golden Rolodex" with the names of potential high-dollar donors. Those donors tend to live in high-income areas, or to work in downtown business centers. These charts show where each candidate's top donors came from. In most cases, candidates' richest zip codes will come from within their own states or congressional district. Some of the nation's most generous zip codes may also show up - these are chiefly in Washington, D.C. and New York.
One thing to keep in mind is that while most donors list their home address when making contributions, others list their business address - so the top zip codes will reflect both wealthy suburbs and central business districts.

We didnt spot any jaguars, but got to see black spider monkeys, howler monkeys, caiman, boas, toucans, and many other less exotic animals. Fishing was a highlight. it is supposedly easy to catch piranhas on the river, but we ended up with a large catfish. Also went on a day hike through the jungle, a canopy walk, and nocturnal animal spotting. Plenty of pictures attached

Students earn UTSA's fifth Bateman PR award
By Steven Levitt
Associate Professor and Chair, Department of Communication
(May 7, 2009)--UTSA communication students Kaela Dawson, Romina Gonzalez, Juliet Quintero and Tiffany Smith placed honorable mention in the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) National Bateman Case Study Competition. It is the fifth time in six years UTSA students received an award.

Seventy-seven teams from across the nation participated in this year's competition with three teams receiving top honors. UTSA's team placed honorable mention along with 15 other teams including Louisiana State University, Penn State University, University of Florida, University of Georgia, University of Oregon and Kent State University. The schools are known nationally and internationally for their top-rated public relations programs.
Since 1973, the National Bateman Case Study Competition has given college students the opportunity to apply their skills in a real-world public relations campaign. It offers students an opportunity to exercise the analytical skills and mature judgment required for public relations problem solving. This year's client was the Consumer Bankers Association's "Hit the Books Running" college accessibility and affordability awareness campaign.
Ali Kanso El-Ghori, professor of communication and academic adviser for the UTSA team, said Roadrunner entrants over the last seven years have been consistently strong performers in the Bateman, considered by many to be the most difficult and prestigious national competition for public relations majors.
"This challenge helps our students design and implement an integrated communication campaign that not only hones their public relations talents but also advances a really important social issue," said El-Ghori. "I am delighted that our students' hard work and expertise as young public relations practitioners is being recognized outside the state. All of us can be proud that UTSA's public relations faculty and its students are ranked among the top in the country."
UTSA's PRSSA chapter has increased membership to a record level, along with nurturing the new UnityPR student-run firm. With a local client's campaign underway and other client prospects pending, the firm provides professional development opportunities for students and gives chapter members PR experience through fundraising and other special events.
PRSSA is a pre-professional organization comprised of 285 chapters and more than 9,600 students nationwide. For more information, visit the PRSSA Bateman competition Web site.

Maybe I'm just illiterate to the whole cap and dead money thing but what are the Giants afraid of? why don't they cut the dead weight and the players who make to much but don't produce much. For example Webster.....if they cut him they would save $7,250,000 according to Optimus-NY BBI. DD about $4,825,000 in cap room, those two right there we save about $12M. With that money we can sign our own FA/RFA like KP, VC.
Only reason I bring this up is because I feel that the Giants are great at drafting, like someone on here said "no one has a perfect draft" no one drafts players that start that next year and all pan out. But! i feel like the Giants do well enough to let these guys go and trust in the draft, plus the draft is full of good talent when it comes to Defense.

Romney camp skeptical that he can win Pennsylvania
The Romney campaign's initial ad buy, which includes a pair of television spots, also won't air in Pennsylvania (although to be fair, the spots are running in only four states – Virginia, North Carolina, Ohio and Iowa, and he has visited the state twice since locking up the GOP nomination, according to the Hotline candidate schedule tracker).
Understanding why the GOP candidate might be skeptical about Pennsylvania isn't difficult. A Republican presidential nominee hasn't triumphed there since George H.W. Bush in 1988, and, as mentioned, Obama won easily there four years ago despite a heavy investment of time and money from the McCain campaign. The state has more than a million more registered Democrats than Republicans, and an early May poll from Quinnipiac University found the president leading over Romney 47 percent to 39 percent. …
Romney's skepticism toward Pennsylvania shouldn't be taken as an indication of weakness in his campaign — he can still easily reach 270 electoral votes without winning there. In fact, if Romney did beat Obama in Pennsylvania, it's a likely indication that he not only won the presidential election, but he did so in a landslide. But it's an interesting representation of the electoral map's shifting ground, swinging away from predominantly white states like Pennsylvania and toward new battlegrounds in more diverse states like Virginia and Colorado.

Advice for Young Animators
Here is a letter written by Andreas Wessel-Therhorn, former animator atWalt Disney Animation Studios.
Wessel-Therhorn's feature film credits include The Thief and the Cobbler, A Goofy Movie, Balto, All Dogs go to Heaven 2, Space Jam, Hercules, Tarzan, Fantasia/ 2000, The Emperors New Groove, Looney Tunes: Back in Action, Home on the Range, Curious George, and The Princess and the Frog, to name a few.
When I was approached to write a letter of encouragement to young animators, I was searching my brain for nuggets of wisdom. Alas, none came to mind.
So I thought I'd tell you a bit about how I came to animation and how I managed to stay in it for the last 25 years and let you take from it what you may.
Born into a black and white 1960′s Germany, I was powerfully drawn to the colorful and magical world of Walt Disney. Nothing was more exciting than seeing a poster announcing a new feature or a re-release of a classic I only knew from my beloved storyteller records. And I dreamed to somehow be part of that world.
I always drew a bit, but thought I had little talent for it. It didn't come easy to me. When I was 15, I happened to meet Hans Bacher, designer and Disney expert (and later art director on films from Balto to Mulan) and a young student of his, Andreas Deja who had just been accepted to work for the Walt Disney Studios.
Hans encouraged me to work on my drawing skills if I was really that passionate about working in animation. And so I did.
He pretty much destroyed my first portfolio, not mincing his words. So I followed his advice to look, to understand what I saw, to not hide my shortcomings behind bad shading and slowly, gradually, my drawings improved.
I then studied graphic design, though I never intended to work in that field, but it was the closest thing to animation available to me and something like CalArts was way out of reach.
Some of my professors thought little of my interests, but I met a fellow student who did and we decided to join forces and make an animated music video. As luck would have it, our film was spotted by a TV scout and he purchased the rights to show it as part of a political satire program.
And again, Hans Bacher was instrumental in our careers. Two of his students had just been hired to work on Richard Williams' legendary 'Once', better known as 'The Thief and the Cobbler'. With his recommendation, we flew to London and interviewed with Dick, who wanted young and enthusiastic people not yet set into a particular style and he hired us on the spot.
So that's how I got started in animation. After 2 years animating on the Thief, I moved on to Disney Paris for 'The Goofy Movie', then Amblimation and the London commercial scene. After an unprecedented animation boom in London that drew talent from around the world, feature work dried up and relocated to Los Angeles. While I decided not to move with Amblimation to the newly formed DreamWorks, mainly to not leave my boyfriend behind, work became more sparse and I attended a talent drive for Walt Disney Feature Animation. I was offered a position on their upcoming 'Hercules' and, after a lot of thinking and discussions with my partner, I accepted and moved to Los Angeles in 1996.
It is hard to describe what working for Disney meant to me after being such a fan for most of my life. The possibility to work amongst amazing artists, to walk around the studio lot where my childhood was created was sheer bliss. I won't list the other projects I was lucky enough to have been a part of, that is what IMDB is for.
Then, as we all know, it all came crashing down when Disney decided to dismantle their traditional animation department in favor of computer animation. And my world came crashing down with it. I was heart broken. After having been part of the 'Disney family', this felt like a death.
While I admire and enjoy a lot of CG animation, I didn't feel the passion for it that made me an animator in the first place and, against all reasoning, I stayed with pencil and paper.
While it is fair to say that I don't experience the thrill of my Disney years anymore, I also don't suffer the crushing disappointment.
I was lucky enough to be part of the 'Princess and the Frog' team, even though we eventually failed to breathe new life into hand drawn animation at Disney. And while it was nice to be back, I didn't let myself become as attached to the studio as I was before. Leaving a second time was a lot easier that way.
Over the years I worked for Disney, Warner Bros., Universal, DreamWorks, Duck Studios, Uli Meyers Studios and various others.
These days I work on commercials, TV specials, shorts, featurettes and still animate Disney characters for special projects such as theme park-related shows. I am also currently finishing up my own short film. Well, there it is, my career in a nutshell. Let me try and draw some conclusions before you draw your own.
- The love for animation alone is not enough to start a career. You have to prepare and improve your skills. This is a craft like any other and requires the mastery of certain techniques. To paraphrase Tiana's dad: "You can wish upon a star, but you have to back it up with hard work."
- Luck plays a big part in any career. I was fortunate enough that, just as I was ready for it, there were many opportunities in hand drawn animation.
- While I have never been the most talented or inspired, work ethic and professionalism go a long way. Don't over promise on what you can deliver but deliver what you promise. Especially in today's market, where a 'ramp up' time is very unusual, one needs to be ready to jump into a job, adapt to a style quickly and get on with it.
- Working around the clock, while occasionally unavoidable, is not something to be proud of and is seldom productive. I find that, after a long 10-12 hour day, the concentration wanes, the drawings get sloppy and you end up spending half the next day fixing the problems you created when you were tired the night before. Work hard- then go home and have a life.
- No career stands alone. I had help from various people over the years, in small and in large ways to which I'll always be grateful for. Our business is a team effort. Keep the diva on the back burner and don't burn bridges you may have to cross again.
- I wish you as encouraging a partner as my husband who put up with me living half way across the globe to follow this crazy calling.
And finally, as Wollie Rheitherman predicted in a letter to a teenage me:
"Work on your drawing skills and you will find this a very rewarding career."
I still do and I hope you will too.
Best wishes,
Andreas (signed)

When it comes to building a board game, some designers start with mechanics: rules or gameplay features that somehow grasp a player's attention. Others approach from a thematic standpoint, where they establish some sort of real world analog for what is going to happen within the game's mechanical systems.
Two years ago, Darrell Louder, a graphic designer and dad from Delaware, thought he had a good combination of both theme and mechanics when he came up with a potion-making board game. "I thought it would be cool if the game was about being an alchemist and mixing various things: rat tails, toads, etcetera," he says. "I was taking my wife to work the next morning and telling her about this idea. She looked at me and pretty much said that it was a stupid theme."
What his wife, Lesley, suggested was that instead of potions and alchemy, Louder use real-world chemistry — elements and compounds — in his game. "She's an AP English teacher," Louder adds. "She's always looking for a way to get games in the classroom, so I think that was her ulterior motive all along. Man, did it work."
The game that resulted from Louder's discussion with his wife is called Compounded, and so far it's raised over $100,000 on the popular crowd-funding site Kickstarter. Pretty good sales numbers for a game that only exists in a prototype form. But a lot of polish has gone into the game in the two years since its inception.

At the expense of GNU/Linux.
After Gillian saw what has happened with her idea she was furious. She realized that her boss never intended to switch to GNU/Linux and only played her idea to threaten Microsoft to get a discount. Her thorough research was used for the exact opposite than it was meant for originally. And she could not do anything about it.
A lot of companies are using GNU/Linux as a leverage to get discounts from software vendors. They don't actually care about Linux but use it as a tactic. It is sad that they are not seeing GNU/Linux as a real alternative that could save them money but only as a leverage for a gain from existing software vendors. What they do not realize is that if GNU/Linux was not a viable alternative, Microsoft would not feel threatened and would not offer them discounts. Most of these individuals do not even know what GNU/Linux is but they know that Microsoft and other software vendors listen when you mention switching over several hundred or even thousand computers to open source. Lots of shameless practices were committed in the name of GNU/Linux and this is just one of them. Hopefully in the future, companies will take GNU/Linux more seriously and realize that it is a very good operating system that can benefit their business needs and that even discounts from Microsoft vendors will not be enough to stop them from switching to open source.

Funny how the business, may, make the mistake of changing everything over and losing business profits, just to see if they can get a deal on microsoft product. And if they did, why would they wanna go back. Look at SAP, they run entire outer-space worlds on Linux! Oracle too!ReplyDelete

People need to get over this. Who lost.ReplyDelete
Without the research MS would have got more money. So MS lost from this deal. Ok not as much as many would like.
Next time around MS will have to sell cheeper again. This is not a never ending game. At some point MS will not have enough income. Its the line I use on a lot of bosses doing this.
Have you though about what will happen to MS if more people do what you have just done. Most have not. Then show boss the numbers of departments MS is killing. So meaning MS is no longer a company that can be trusted to be around for the long term.
Cases when boss do this you need to step back thing what smaller projects can we do. Linux introduced slowly if you cannot do fast.

FACT: Microsoft can only offer so many discounts.ReplyDelete
FACT: Free software will always remain free.
FACT: Free software evolves faster.
FACT: Its only a matter of time before the discounts mean nothing.
Any chance this so called "Gillian" could publicly post her finding on the net. I'd love to get a copy of her research since I would like my stupid ass company to move to Linux as well.ReplyDelete

If you look at this a different way, if you're in a company with technology inept executives who have no intention of saving thousands or millions with GNU/Linux due to the principal-agent problem, you could at least convince them to pay less to Microsoft by making idle threats.ReplyDelete
I'd love to persuade my employer to switch, but the recently got $2+ million from the B&M Gates Foundation, so they don't have much incentive... at least they still have strong opposition to Vista and Windows 7.
- AnonymousAugust 2, 2009 at 9:11 PM
Still, Microsoft is not stupid and they are afraid; for a reason.ReplyDelete
But we have a decision to make. Are we going to make open software systems attractive to the non-technical entrenched or aren't we? All the innovation in the world, is lost; without clear, new, stable, benefits and that means without losing anything that they are basically familiar with. Like it or not.
It's not all that hard to figure out. Most people are still on XP. Therefore we need a distro for XP converts, as job #1. Then, the next one would be for Vista converts. Those two alone are about 80% of all computer users. Then, we need one for OS-X(Ten) lovers.
Don't give me this "Linux is not Windows" poo. Not only do I understand that it's a different beast, but also, I understand it can't be just like Windows or it would also have it's problems. Well duh. This is not something good to say to the 80-95% of all computer users. I screams that anything "Linux" is not for them. The last thing they want is start over; at square one!
- AnonymousAugust 2, 2009 at 9:12 PM
Part duh:ReplyDelete
Therefore, we should present them wit the exact opposite! We should be able to say it is just like XP (in familiarity) and BETTER. This is where the better, BETTER be obvious. ...add no, this doesn't even mean that we need to copy the GUI, pixel for pixel. It simply needs to follow the known placement of things that real people use! All the great ideas about this, in the world, are not helping YET. That comes AFTER 90% of everyone, is on open software.
Stop putting the cart before the horse and snubbing our noses at the new users. We "ain't" there yet!
This by no means ignores the great progress in these areas that we have recently made. But still, we're the world best at scaring new users back to Microsoft. If you think about Microsoft, that's pretty lame.
It simple. You have the tech developers who care, and you have those who could care less! Which one do you think is making a real difference? Microsoft would have you believe, that open software, is selfish based. No, in this, MS is king. Let's show the world who cares, shall we? Slow down on the innovation. Just make a better mouse trap. It can't be unfamiliar, or hard to use. it must work; and better. The competition is the status quo.
The future is coming! Microsoft will eventually turn open source just to stay in the game.ReplyDelete
'Next time around MS will have to sell cheeper again.'ReplyDelete
@Anonymous at 8:02 PM, that's exactly what has happen with Netbook/Notebook makers trying to sell them with Linux pre-installed.
Cheaper MS OEM licenses, plus some extortion, blackmail, etc.
MS kinda usual way of make business, you know.
Ridiculous premise. You write as if they don't really consider it an option. Of course they're willing to switch, otherwise they wouldn't be able to use it as leverage. They're willing to switch if they don't get the deal they want, but why go against the path of least resistance when you can still save money? Eventually Microsoft won't be able to keep slashing their prices, and that's when more switchovers will happen.ReplyDelete
Gillian should consider this a small victory. The research was sound and worthy of negotiation. A GNU plan was provided that helped the company save money, and in turn was still used to save some money.ReplyDelete
I would strengthen the research ten fold for the next round of negotitations... continue to break them and be ready for when MS says... go open source then...
Then Do it!
Thought provoking. Thanks for adding to the discussion.ReplyDelete

Linux lacks a marketing arm. Beyond low price you need to sell the unique value state of Linux to your boss(es)(assuming it has one other than is not MS).ReplyDelete
You have to retain employees and that involves change. Think of "climate change." That is global warming rebanded because people fear change, even change for the better. So you have to overcome this too, even if you can show Linux to be better.
I am usually pesimistic, but in this case I see "the glass is half-full"...ReplyDelete
As some other already said here, the important thing is that Microsoft is forced to slash down its prices to compete... and the next time they will have to do it again, and again... till, eventually, the switch comes.
Let's be realistic here, a few years ago Linux was not used even as leverage in negotiations with commercial sw companies. Now it is being used like so and probably, in some few cases the discount is not enogt and the switch is done anyway.
In de future, more and more negotiations will end with a switch.
The only thing we have to keep in mind is that "world domination" is a far away target for Linux and FOSS in general. In fact FOSS/Linux SHOULD not get total world domination anyway.
But just think how great this tituation would be:
- Year 2015
- Microsoft "rules" 45-55% of the desktop market and 30-35% of the server market.
- MAC OS X 30%-25% of the desktop market and 5-10% of the server market.
- Linux (alone) does 20-25% of the desktop and 40-50% of the server market.
- Competence pushing innovation and drivers for ALL!

One possible reason why people reject so-called 'GNU/Linux' is that this name is plain UGLY, both written and spoken. This horrible, grotesque 'GNU' with capitals, plus this meaningless slash, hindering the beautiful, light, free-flowing 'Linux', are heavily responsible for the lack of popularity of the Linux operational system.ReplyDelete

We just call it "Linux."ReplyDelete
Interesting case,ReplyDelete

>add no, this doesn't even mean that we need to copy the GUI, pixel for pixel. It simply needs to follow the known placement of things that real people use!
That's largely true. Where I work, Vista was passed over for that very reason. In fact, they do as much as possible to get XP to look and feel just like Win2k. This was done several years ago to reduce help desk load and streamline workflow, in a company of about 1100 employees with dozens of fortune 500 customers with whom they must effectively interact daily (as in exchange MS docs).
The other significant barrier to corporate acceptance is remote administration/software deployment. MS has tools to do this, but they are expensive. Where I work, they use Altiris to deploy software to PCs en mass and something ePolicy to assure that permissions and desktop configurations are uniform. Although linux already both facilities, making those facilities more accessible/palatable to the windows-minded would be very significant.

The GNU Project was launched in 1984 to develop a complete Unix-like operating system which is free software.ReplyDelete
Linux is a generic term referring to Unix-like computer operating systems based on the Linux kernel. Their development is one of the most prominent examples of free and open source software collaboration; typically all the underlying source code can be used, freely modified, and redistributed by anyone under the terms of the GNU GPL[5] and other free software licences.
Does this not give out roughly the same explanation? Its a unix like operating system. Same thing, different name.

What do you expect when IT Management basically comes from outside IT? 10 years ago or less, management came from either the software development side of IT, DBA side, or the System Admin side of the house.ReplyDelete
Now that many IT managers have little to no exposure to IT operations, how do you expect them to make sound technology decisions? They depend upon seminars, publications, etc. to make their decisions. I encounter this scenario almost on a daily basis. This is just one of the reason so many IT projects are failing today.
- AnonymousAugust 3, 2009 at 2:14 PM
This is a true fact of our daily life problems.Most of our decision makers are stubborn enough and money oriented.They think if a deal is made with money that will solve the problem.They are so wrong it will only things worst.ReplyDelete
But it is good at long term because more discounts means that Microsoft will have less money to combat linux.ReplyDelete
People should not switch to linux merely to save money but to have more freedom, security, flexiblility and vendor independence. If they are dumb to not use linux whenever it is possible we cannot make anything.

Who is naive enough to find this sory surprising ?ReplyDelete
The main role of GNU is to propose an _alternative_, i.e. a concurrence to the de facto monopoly.
Thus, with a better concurrence, the client can have a better deal. This is only how real woorld works.
And when GNU proposes truly equivalent solutions to other systems, and at the same price, then it wins. (it's the case in my company, SLED is gaining our desks).

There are some organizations that actually do switch. It's a small proportion and a lot of them are outside the US, but the number of Linux users is going up ever so slowly. It has arrived at this point from nothing essentially without marketing, as someone wrote. So I say patience, it will happen, somewhere in the world.ReplyDelete
On a related note, I recently talked to a bunch of teachers in a high school. Their Windows machines had been upgraded to Office 2007, and to say that they were displeased with the new interface would be an understatement. I was surprised, because I thought that the new thing was actually an improvement, but these teachers absolutely hated hunting for things in the new menus. Some flatly refused to use it. I don't know how widespread this reaction is, but it might be an opening for OpenOffice.

Same-same thing happened to me. I was supposed to be working on a research Master's degree; in co-operation with my State Government. Did the research.ReplyDelete
I said Linux was more secure and technologically superior. The lawyer in charge said I couldn't say that, but that Linux was a smaller base with fewer threats. I spent another two days and two pages of research to disprove that.
The next week, my door access was disabled and the government had told my faculty dean I was at risk of being a violent psychotic. The faculty investigated. I was given another scholarship to do a different study.

IMHO for windows converts KDE3 with windows keyboard shortcuts is ideal - menu organised similarily, windows too. I dont know if KDE4 can be configured this way. As for MacOS-X converts - Gnome, or Xfce with Platinum window decorations. Converting from MacOS-X will be easier, because OSX is based on BSD and is ruled by the same principles.ReplyDelete
"Microsoft would not feel threatened and would not offer them discounts" Isn't it telling that Microsoft knows its products are of very poor quality as compared to GNU/Linux and the only way they can be in the business of selling software is by selling their software at a forced discount. I would not be surprised as to one day if they start giving away their OS's just to do GNU?linux in. Without the freedoms of course. Like they did with Internet Explorer just to take Netscape down.ReplyDelete

Oscar Garibaldi Roberts (1860–1922) was a wealthy Sydney jeweller. In 1876 he joined the firm of Fairfax and Roberts in Hunter Street, Sydney. Established as Australia's earliest emporium for fine silver, optical instruments and jewellery, its workshop created items for heads of state, country gentlemen and families collecting their first heirlooms.
From 1894 Oscar and his wife Anne lived in Hornsby, Sydney, near to where Lambert's family lived. His coachman would drive him to Hornsby station each morning, where he would catch the train to the city. Lambert made this drawing of him early one morning before he left for work.
This drawing has been passed down through the subject's family. It was one of the last drawings Lambert made before travelling overseas.

Excerpt: "Jason Pierre-Paul is on track to return from back surgery for Week 1 of the regular season, according to John Schmeelk of Giants.com.
Jason Pierre-Paul is '70-30' to return from back surgery in time for Week 1 of the regular season, John Schmeelk of Giants.com said Wednesday on 'Big Blue Kickoff Live.'
"The Giants honestly believe, based on other guys that have had this injury, and I think that he'll be ready for the first regular season game," Schmeelk said. "I think there's an outside chance that he could play and get a couple snaps in that final preseason game just to get his feet wet. It's gonna be tight.
"From what I understand he's on schedule and the Giants hope he'll be back for Week 1. If I had to give you a percentage I'd say right now 70-30 he plays in Week 1."
Pierre-Paul, the defensive end who is the Giants' best defensive player, underwent surgery in early June to correct a lingering back issue that apparently bothered him last season, when his sack total fell to 6.5 from 16.5 in 2011.The fact that Pierre-Paul appears on track to begin the season is good news for a defense that desperately needs him if it hopes to improve from last season. Even if he is back, however, it is likely that it would take Pierre-Paul a few weeks to be at peak efficiency." Read more...

text: Hey everyone, happy new year, hope all is well. Well i have had a great run for 3 years with my ride (the above mentioned) 2 weeks ago something happened in the engine though. It started as a mild knocking noise the one morning, when i started it. Wasnt extremely cold, but anyways, i did hear that something wasnt right. The knocking throuhout the day got louder and louder and performance became more and more sluggish. the knocking could only be heard at certain rpms; at idle, at mid rev, and the oudest at full rev, when excelerating. At certain in-between rpms, it wasnt as audiable. It still ran fine, and whenever it snowed, i would move it out of the driveway, so that i could plow my driveway, and then proceed to take it around the block; being that i also have a company truck for snow days. On tuesday jan 13th, when i did this, i barely was able to get it home, from only 100 yds away; this was after i started it about 15 mins prior to pulling it out of the driveway. Exceleration bacame next to nothing, very hard sputtering occured, and in neutral, it would hardly rev up past half. after much playing with neutral and drive, and feathering the gas pedal, i was able to just back into my driveway to park it, where it also stalled out aswell. when i tried to statrt it again, it was like the starter was under a very heavy load to crank it over, which is very abnormal, being that i have 2 big batteries in it, for large stereo purposes. And no matter how cold it gets, it always starts. So with all these symptoms mentioned, im hoping someone can tell me what could be the problem(s). I've got a good idea that its major, im just wondering, for what it could be, whether there is a repair kit for the affected parts, or whether a new engine is better off. I dont mind that, it will give me a chance to put the big dirty in it.... a 350 lol. It has a 3.8 v6, 2 barrel in it right now. It would be great to get some input from someone....Thank you Matthew

The best way to prevent viral encephalitis is to take precautions to avoid exposure to viruses that can cause the disease:
To minimize your exposure to mosquitoes and ticks, follow these tips:
Apply mosquito repellent. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has registered a number of products containing certain chemicals that repel mosquitoes. The registered chemicals are DEET, IR3535, lemon eucalyptus and picaridin. Products with higher concentrations of the active ingredient provide longer protection.
Lemon eucalyptus isn't recommended for use on children younger than 3 years old.
Mosquito repellents can be applied to both the skin and clothes. To apply repellent to your face, spray it on your hands and then wipe it on your face. If you're using both sunscreen and a repellent, apply sunscreen first.
Insect repellents aren't recommended for use on infants younger than 2 months of age. Instead, cover an infant carrier or stroller with mosquito netting.
Tips for using mosquito repellent with children include the following:

Where I stayed
As we were the only people staying in Hess House B & B in Lee Vining, Vianesa treated us to a special breakfast. We had orange juice, coffee, fresh fruit, granola, yoghurt and home made French toast, which was delicious. The fruit that we couldn't eat, Vianesa put into zip-lock bags for us to take with us into the park. Before we left, to avoid paying another $110/night in the next place, we booked accommodation in the Quality Inn in Merced for that night at a more reasonable $45. We then went into the information centre in Lee Vining and picked up some trail maps for Yosemite before driving into the park using our Annual Pass to get in - so it felt free!
There was quite a lot of snow about as we entered the park. We stopped at Lake Tioga where there were huge chunks of ice floating on it, getting quite excited to see so much snow
At a lookout called Olmsted Point there was a great view of the 'Half Dome'- the signature mountain of Yosemite. It was much colder and windier than we had expected and I was quite keen to get back into the car after appreciating the view. As we drove into the main valley in the park it got warmer and we went for a quick exploration around some woodland by a river, where we watched a man do some fly fishing for a while. For some reason I had a lot of static electricity that day and every time I went to open or close the car door I got a shock, I even gave Doog a few shocks. I resorted to kicking the car door shut rather than risking another shock.
We had heard of the huge Redwood or Sequoia trees found in the park and we were keen to see them for ourselves. We didn't have time to drive to the main Sequoia grove in the south of the park, so we decide to go to smaller Merced Grove. On the way, we noticed a few cars parked on the main road along with a park ranger vehicle next to some woodland. We decided to park and find out what had made everyone stop and as we entered the forest we saw that a crowd of people had gathered
Sure enough as we walked around a few more trees we spotted a second smaller brown bear (that was actually black) also in the vegetation. Suddenly the smaller bear started running towards the forest, being chased by the larger bear, who some people thought was its mother. I couldn't see what happened to the little black bear but the brown bear once it had reached the outskirts of the forest started to climb to the top of a tall tree. It was amazing to see how quickly she got up there. Completely transfixed by what we were seeing, the brown bear then hurriedly scrambled back down the tree. As if the tree-climbing had taken it all out of her, she then curled up and went to sleep. Hoping to see a bit more action, we waited around but the bear showed no signs of waking up so we left amazed at what we had just seen.
We finally made it to Merced Grove after a brief stop for lunch which we decided to eat in the car after seeing how quickly bears can move and how good they are at hiding up trees. It was only a 1 � mile walk to the Sequoia's, although on the way we saw a family of deer walking through the trees right next to the path
We drove back into the valley, past the point where we had seen the bears and a little further down the road there was another group of cars - more bears? Doog and I went to investigate and found that people had discovered another bear taking a nap next to a tree. It was not as active as the bears we had previously seen and it was difficult to get a good look through some long grass. The people watching were accompanied by a ranger who made it very clear how annoyed she was that she had needed to stop on her way home to oversee the public who had spotted the bear.
In the valley, we stopped to watch rock climbers on the vertical rock face of El Capitan. They looked so tiny on the huge mountain that they were practically invisible…crazy people! A man had set up a telescope to watch them and he let Doog take a photo through the objective. From the telescope you could also see that they were setting up camp for the night in a tent that had been suspended from the cliff. How you could get a good nights sleep on a cliff face is beyond me.
We walked to the famous Bridalveil Fall and got totally soaked as we approached it, there were lots of rainbows in the waterfall mist and all the paths to it had turned into little streams
Finally we drove over a small bridge to get a good view of the Half Dome and then on to the Yosemite Falls which we thought about walking to. Although we wanted to stay in the park longer it was 7pm and we still had to drive to Merced, so reluctantly we left.
We arrived at Merced around 10pm and were very pleasantly surprised by our Quality Inn motel room, which was huge, had a TV, ensuite, WiFi and breakfast included. By this point we were hungry and expecting that the only place open would be a burger place, we were happy to discover Denny's, which although is far from gourmet, was very tasty and we even had vegetables.

In Bend church fire's wake: 'All will be well'
Shocked Triinity Episcopal leaders, members reel from tragedy
BEND, Ore. - The string of fires early Wednesday morning did extensive damage to the Trinity Episcopal Church and their building next door, St. Helens Hall that houses the Family Kitchen, where they serve hundreds of hot meals to the community.
A small crowd gathered Wednesday morning behind the yellow crime scene tape, recalling special moments in the church such as baptisms, funerals, and for Carol Zeigler, her wedding.
"It was in '54," said Zeigler. "I wore my mother's and grandmother's wedding dress."
But now those happy memories are flooded with a harsh realization: Someone may have set fire to their place of worship. Broken windows, blackened walls and a caving roof are left behind.
"It makes me angry," said Zeigler. "I don't know why people have to get their kicks by hurting people. They're sick."
And perhaps the people hurt the most are those who were threatened with losing a hot meal. Family Kitchen served more than 50,000 meals just last year. Lunch for the homeless is given out three times a week and dinner is served up twice a week.
"I'm just shocked that someone would do this," said Family Kitchen Program Coordinator Cindy Tidball. "What an awful thing for somebody to do. I just can't believe it. I am really just in shock."
But the goodness of others in the community also shone through.
All four Subways in Bend donated two platters of sandwiches, so that Family Kitchen volunteers could still hand out food to the homeless in a sort of impromptu tailgate. ServiceMaster of Bend and Hooker Creek donated time and equipment to get generators running, to hopefully save five freezers and three refrigerators full of food.
Rev. Roy Green says in all of his time, he's never seen anything like this happen to his own church.
"It makes me angry," said Green. "You feel wounded and violated. But we're in the resurrection business. So we will gather 'round, come close and get through this, and rebuild."
As the smoke lifted, all the church members had to do was look up at the cross still standing tall atop the building, by the damaged roof, to know their faith was not swayed by tragedy.
"All will be well," said Green. "It will be a bumpy road for awhile, but all will be well."
"I do know we'll get it fixed -- it'll be perfect again," Zeigler said.
Family Kitchen will still be serving dinner Thursday night and lunch and dinner on Friday. Moving forward, it will be at the nearby First Methodist Church on Bond Street in downtown Bend.

I was wondering if anyone has a subscription to Hakin9 Magazine. I've downloaded a free pdf from their site and it looks good so far. I'm thinking about getting a subscription to the printed version, cause I'm not a fan of reading pdf's. Can anyone tell me if its worth the subscription money? It's 79.00 USD for 24 months. Doesn't seem that expensive to me. Any thoughts?

Notable Oregonians: Mark O. Hatfield - Governor, U.S. Senator
Mark O. Hatfield was born in Dallas, Oregon, on July 12, 1922, to Charles Dolen and Dovie Odem Hatfield. Spending much of his youth in Salem, Hatfield developed an affinity for politics as he worked as a guide in the state Capitol. He went on to graduate with a B.A. from Willamette University in 1943 and an M.A. degree Stanford University in 1948.
From 1943 to 1946 Hatfield served in the United States Naval Reserve as a lieutenant junior grade. During World War II he served in the Pacific in landing craft operations. His trip into Hiroshima a month after the bomb had been dropped helped to form his views against nuclear war and nuclear weapons. After World War II he was assigned to French Indochina (Vietnam). This experience helped to shape his views about imperalism and colonialism and his later strong stand against the Vietnam War.
Hatfield taught political science and was dean of students at Willamette University in Salem from 1949 to 1956. He married Antoinette Kuzmanich on July 8, 1958 and had four children, Elizabeth, Mark Jr., Theresa and Visko.
Hatfield began his political career in the Oregon Legislature in 1951 where he served in the House of Representatives from 1951 to 1955 and in the Senate from 1955 to 1957. He became the youngest Secretary of State in Oregon history in 1957, holding that office for two years until he was elected governor in 1958. Hatfield, a Republican, defeated the Democratic incumbent Robert D. Holmes and served as Oregon governor from January 12, 1959 to January 9, 1967.
Among the major accomplishments of Hatfield's administration were the passage of a tax cut in 1959, the establishment of a state-backed birth control system, the prohibition of capital punishment in the state, and the reapportionment of the state's congressional districts. Hatfield was reelected in 1962, defeating Democratic challenger Robert Y. Thornton.
Hatfield held the office of U.S. Senator from Oregon from 1967 to 1996, making him the longest serving Oregon Senator in history. He consistently voted against military appropriations, voted to end the war in Vietnam, co-sponsored a nuclear freeze resolution with Senator Edward Kennedy and called for a Code of Conduct to regulate U.S. arms sales. Senator Hatfield twice served as chairman of the powerful Appropriations Committee, a position he used to steer more than 3 billion dollars of funding for a variety of public projects in Oregon. Among the recipients were Oregon Health & Science University and the MAX light rail system in Portland. He was the second-most senior Republican Senator at the time of his retirement.
Over the years after leaving the U.S. Senate, Hatfield taught at George Fox University in Newberg and at the Hatfield School of Government at Portland State University. He also served on the Oregon Health & Science University board of directors for several years.
Numerous institutions, buildings, and public resources are named in his honor, including the Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport, the Mark O. Hatfield Library at Willamette University in Salem, the Mark O. Hatfield United States Courthouse in Portland, and the Mark O. Hatfield Wilderness Area in the Columbia River Gorge.
He died in Portland on August 7, 2011 at the age of 89 after a long illness.

I'm looking at a DesertEagle Eagle 50 (unknown model) in a couple days that a coworker owns to possibly buy. He said he bought it new in '96 and has put maybe 1/2 box of shells thru it. Does anyone have a guestimation of what it might be worth? I was planning on another Springfield in .45 til I happened up on this deal. Any help would be appreciated.
I would recommend going to some of the auction site (like Gunbroker.com) and search the 50 AE Desert Eagle. You can get a pretty good idea what the handguns are going for by looking at the prices people are willing to bid on these. Disregard those that have no bids. You can also look it up in the Blue Book for Guns (kind of like the Blue Book for cars).

Discussion in 'January 2008' started by max, Jan 10, 2008.
Welcome back ahb! :D I missed you. @ adonis, you're 100% correct.
I'm not saying everything Pop does is great. I'm just far more disappointed in all the things our coach does wrong that i can't really nitpick Pop. Biased on my part probably, but it's easy to overlook flaws when you know the coach is a winner. Piston fans did that alot with LB too.
i'll have thoughts on the game later but check out the Yahoo recap: 'SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Ben Wallace had 23 points and 15 rebounds and the Detroit Pistons bounced back from a loss the previous night to beat the San Antonio Spurs 90-80 on Thursday.' ben wallace eh? woops
Sort of like when they were listing both "R. Murray" and "F. Murray" next to each other in the box score for the same game? LOL.
Hahaha, I remember that. That was great! I guess Flip Jr thought that cloning himself would get him out of Sr's doghouse.
We won the game, but what did we gain toward playoff preparation: 1) Hunter got some playing time. Never hurts to have one of your backups get a little burn to keep the rust off. 2)Tay played some shooting guard. Never hurts to go big at guard on occasion. 3)Jason Maxiell continues to gain valuable experience. Now, on the negative side. No Amir. No Afflalo. Stuckey only played 7 minutes. Still no sign of Samb. A good game from Herrmann was rewarded with nothing. In all, we won the game, but took as many steps back as forward as far as getting ready for the playoffs. Now some details from the game. SA started out a bit ahead of us, but we went on a 16-0 run and ended up ahead 30-15 after one quarter. This tied the lowest output by the Spurs in a first quarter this season. THats some good D. And the Pistons were concentrating on a lot of inside shots. Tay ended up with a nice first half scoring, while Sheed, Billups, and Rip were all making shots too. Dyess? A lot of foul trouble. A few made jumpers. Hayes just hit one shot, but in this game we did not have to worry about a small forward being too quick for Hayes. SA plays a defensive specialist at the position. JMAX was the only other sub in the first half besides Stuckey and Hayes. He did not do much in this game. The foul trouble on Dyess meant Sheed guarded Duncan pretty much the whole 3rd quarter. The result was simple. Sheed could not afford to foul, so Duncan was free to score pretty much all he wanted. SA got back into the game because of this. (Because of our lack of depth at the 4 / 5.) Parker and Ginobili were held to nonfactors in this game. Good D. But look, SA stayed with us despite two of their stars doing so little. All SA has to do next game is press the issue a bit more as far as attacking Sheed, and we won't have a thing prepared for foul trouble on both Sheed and Dyess at the same time. Pop knows this full well, and is hardly worried about this loss. We did not score a bucket to open the 4th quarter with Rip and Hunter in the backcourt. We did go on a run though when Billups returned, and Hunter still in the game. Hunter played good D, and made a couple of shots. They say Hunter was activated due to Stuckey tweaking his hand last game. Stuckey is also playing with a tweaked ankle. Always like to see a win. But, hey, always like to see something done toward making the team better, and this did not happen tonight. Lets all hope the process starts soon.
This was a good win. Sheed, Tay and Rip put the hurt on SA early. Hunter came in the the 4th and sealed it with defense. That is the way Hunter should be used. For a quick 4 minute spurt in either half in the big games. They upped their defense and got into us in the second half so can't conclude too much but we can say that we are there at the top. Yes, Lee, as I pointed out this summer, we are very susceptible to Sheed getting in foul trouble. We are short a big in the rotation. I still want Maxiel in earlier. He needs time playing with the starters and the starters need to find him. Maxiel is the answer to the old scoring droughts. Notice SA also chose to DOUBLE TEAM him. He needs the experience. I noticed someone flying out to Duncan at about the 3 minute mark left in the fourth quarter over on the left side causing Duncan to miss. Was it Dyss? No, he would never get there. It was Maxiel. That doesn't show up in the box score. A big play--very Ben like.
Nice win against the defending champs. Flippy rode the starters HARD, obviously hot under the collar and he did not want to lose a third straight game. I don't mind the minutes since the starters didn't play much after being blown out, and they were playing a great team. It just wasn't encouraging to see same old Flip go with the same old strategies time and time again. Amir won't be in the rotation this year. He was on the inactive list in favor of Brezec after all. I know Joe said he would play, but as far as I can tell, that won't happen this year; probably not the next either. Stuckey was hurting, so he didn't play well and Flippy rightfully went to Lindsey instead. No Afflalo. First DNP-CD for him in a while; not that he's gotten much minutes since Stuckey's come back, though. He's proven he can play in big games (as evidenced by his 4th Q play against Boston in December), probably better than Stuckey can. With Stuckey hurt again, we might see him get more time. Max played badly. His height disadvantage really hurt him against SA's 6'11 and up frontcourt. Sheed was a beast, 23 and 15 in 40 minutes and mostly keeping Tim in check but for that 3rd Q. I wish he'd play like that more often. Tayshaun found his pair for the first half at least, helping the Pistons build a 15-point 1st Q lead, netting 17 for the game. Rip and Chauncey were solid; all the starters outside of Dice, who was in foul trouble all night, were. All in all, a good win. Not a perfect game, but you can't really play a perfect game against a good defensive team like this. I still worry about Flip's inability to think outside the box though (sorry, couldn't help it).
I loved seeing Maxey take a swipe at Bowen after he fouled Rip. He is bringing some attitude and serves as what passes for an enforcer in 2008. The Flip Saunders era has left me like an abused spouse, sitting there flinching in the corner even in the good times. They're playing well but then you look a little closer and swear they're doubling Jacque Vaughn. I always get the feeling that SA plays DET at about 75% of capacity while Flip is showing every trick he has. If Tay's J is falling I don't see DET losing. He was way more agressive tonight even when missing. Nothing like seeing 3 Spurs about to check in and no Piston within a mile of the scorers table. God bless the national broadcasts with the long timeouts. DET scored 13 points in the 3rd! Anyone else notice SA trapping the moment Stuckey checked in @ PG?
Alexa, Maxiel looked bad at times but that is because he is getting the ball in places that he is not used to while playing with the first unit. What was important is that SA like Dallas chose to Double him. How many players do we have that have been doubled by teams lately? And, as I pointed out, when we needed the help defense late in the game it was Maxiel flying out on the side at Duncan. Dice can't do that. Maxiel is the key to our playoff success at present.
I think you are trying too hard.
Oh, I don't know, I think we have such a needy group, that it might play for them to get on over to the Spur's section and commensurate with Pop. I especially liked his perceptive comments and forceful personality when he had his group together over on the side line. Think Flip out-coached Pop?...nah. And Hunter, quit chewing on Parker's shorts...act your age!
trying too hard to . . . ?
Popovich doesn't play man-to-man defense as a default. He loves to trap players, especially along the baseline, and especially the ones who can't read doubles and pass out of them effectively (that's why Tayshaun normally sucks against the Spurs, and why Flip decided to play him at guard). Speaking of Tayshaun, At least he challenged this one.
A good win to break the losing streak. The team finally showed what they could do if they put their mind into it. Why Sheed and Tay can't play like that at least 75% of the time? Tay was aggressive early scoring in a variety of ways. Sheed was in the post quite a bit asking for a ball. When they are on like that Pistons are hard to beat. But I have to nitpick a bit. Starters played too many minutes. It was obvious in the 3rd when they started settling for long jumpers that weren't falling. The team only scored 13 points in the 3rd. They did, however, play good on D and Spurs' shots weren't falling, so Pistons kept a decent size lead which was diminished in the quarter.
I agree D4E, some people are never happy. This was a great win. Our defense looked really good, we were quick, guys were helping cover... Parker hardly got in the lane until it was pretty much over. Ginobili didn't get to do many of his stupid ridiculous flip shots in traffic. The fact we were clogging the paint burnt us a couple of times with Udoka being left open for 3's, but if they can beat us nailing 3's they can have it. Rip torched Bowen constantly. I thought this was a good psychological game for Rip because Bowen couldn't stop him. Sheed was taking 3's from 5 feet outside the line for some reason but his work inside was a thing of beauty. McDyess played some good D on Duncan before those 2 quick fouls. We were on the road in one of the hardest arenas to win in, I'll take a win any which way. Flip decided from the get go that he was going to ride the starters to try and pull out a win. I didn't mind this decision. Flip desperately wanted a win against a good ball club. They sucked it up in Dallas so the guys deserved the chance to redeem themselves. Yeah, there's always the other side of the coin - the bench should get the chance to play against the strong competition for experience but Flip made his decision, stuck with it, and we got the win. Give him some credit every now and then. Lindsey was the difference maker in the 4th. Solid showing from him and a smart decision from Flip to go with him. Jarvis made some smart plays late in the 4th. I was expecting him to probably jack 3's on a couple of those possessions and was pleasantly surprised when he showed the composure to make a couple of nice assists to Sheed. I love seeing Duncan lose.
Just beat the World Champs on their home court where they were 17-2! Every so often we are going to see games where the starters play. They were playing so well last night that I don't have a problem with them playing extended mins. Every night is not going to be development night. 90% of the time it will be but we are going to get some games where they are just trying to win. This game in particular I think the starters wanted to redeem themselfs from the past 2 loses and were willing to take on that responsibility. If they would have lost everyone would be saying how they can't beat a good team.
Any win against SA is a good one - as others have pointed out, they are the world champs and playing at home. I'm o.k. with the minutes played - the starters had some making up to do after the last two, and didn't play all that much the night before (might argue didn't play at all). - Sheed was pretty amazing on both ends. Team defense overall was pretty good - forced lots of turnovers by being in the right place on drives. - Hunter put in a couple of good minutes and kept the defensive pace up when things were lagging. - I liked Tay playing the two spot though maybe a couple of Fabio minutes then would have been an upgrade over Hayes during that time. Hayes needs to be a higher option on offense when he's over the floor or he doesn't get much done. He doesn't blend in well with the starters. - Pretty forgettable night from Max - more turnovers than boards, 25% shooting. He's looking frustrated and bad. He had a decent game against Boston, but has yet to show up in Texas.
Good game overall, but why not bring in one or two bench guys during the 3rd quarter? The starters seemed to have lost interest in the game - at least that's what the offense looked like to me, what with all the jumpers. There were at least 3 desperation Js tossed up to beat the shot clock. With a double-digit lead, why not bring in AA in a game like this? You don't lose anything defensively and you get a player who doesn't need the ball on offense. It would be nice to get him some experience guarding slashers like Parker and Ginobili. Anybody else notice how ticked Dice looked when he saw Max was coming in for him after he picked up that 5th foul with about 4 mins to go in the game? Fast forward a couple minutes later and he's back in to pick up his 6th foul! This was very near the same point where Pop raised the white flag and brought in the bench. I was thinking this may be an indication of what Flip has to deal with in limiting the starters' minutes.
Dyess definitely didn't want to come out. I've never really understood that substitution. There are four minutes to go, you've got a guy, who given the way he's been fouling all game, is fairly likely to pick up the sixth, and the game is tight and you want him on the floor. Why not leave him in? The worse than can happen is that he picks up the foul on the rebound of the free throws and is out anyway. Best case maybe he plays it out. By substituting you just throw off any rhythm he might have and bring a guy in who knows he's only going to get about a minute to play.
