NOTE: This article originally appeared in the Oct. 15 issue of CAROLINA: The Magazine.
by Jawad Williams, @WAD216
Fans of Carolina basketball rivalries tend to think that we are 100 percent sworn enemies with players from Duke, NC State and the rest of the competition we face. On the contrary, we are only enemies when we step on the court to face off against each other. Basketball makes the world small, and that means you become friends with people that you would never think you would meet.
When I started playing organized basketball as a fourth grader in Cleveland, I never knew where the game would take me and who it would allow me to meet. Outside of my school team, I played in multiple AAU tournaments all across the country. In these tournaments, I met guys from all across the country as well as guys from different regions of the world. Even though we all came from different backgrounds, we all had one thing in common: the love for the game of basketball.
When I was fighting to make a name for myself on the national scene of amateur basketball, I had to attend multiple camps: Nike All American camp, Adidas All American camp, and the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) camp, just to name a few. These camps gave kids the chance to go head to head with the best young athletes in the world.
I always kept tabs on my competition via magazines that ranked the top players. I watched these magazines to make sure my stock was rising, and to study what people said my competitors' strengths and weaknesses were, so when I would get a chance to meet them I had an edge and could play them to their weakness and destroy them!
At the NBPA camp I remember vividly hearing a reading about a loudmouthed, skinny dude named Julius Hodge. "Jules of Harlem on the way to stardom" is how he referred to himself.
My team played against his team on the first day of games. I was super excited! This was my chance to go at the arrogant dude from New York to increase my ranking. Remember, I'm coming from Cleveland, so these big market guys got all the hype.
The game started immediately with elbows and words being exchanged between myself and Jules, even during the jump ball. He said, "Yeah, I heard about you and [I'm] shutting you down today." I replied, "I'm going to kill you and anybody else who faces off with me!"
We traded baskets a majority of the game. I finished with 18 points, and the win. He had 17. After the game, a mutual respect was formed, because neither one of us backed down from the other. The great matchup helped both of us along the rise to become elite high school athletes. We ended up hanging together the rest of the week. By the way, I left the camp rated the top player. Sorry, Jules: If you are not first, you are last, chump!
One of the biggest honors for a high school basketball player is to be named to the McDonald's All American game. I remember watching ESPN waiting for them to name the teams. I was nervous, but confident that I would see my name.
They ran off the East team first, and whose name pops up? Yes, Julius Hodge. Then they named the West. I saw a name and face that I'd seen before: Daniel Ewing, a Duke signee, and then my name.
The game was held at Cameron Indoor Stadium, so all I could think about was how bad I was going to be booed. During check-in, Jules and I wanted to be roommates because we knew each other pretty well. But instead, they made the Dukie, Ewing, my roommate. They put microphones on us immediately to see what would happen in the room. Everything was cool. He turned out to be a cool dude and we remained friends.
To this day I still talk with both of these guys. Jules lives around the corner from me in North Carolina and was my teammate here in Paris along with Sean May. This year, Daniel Ewing is with Sean and me here in Paris. I guess if you can't beat us and want to win, just join us!
Basketball is what we love, and is what we do, but it is not our lives. We keep our rivalries on the court. Well, at least until our alma maters play each other. Then, the bad blood reappears.

text: Feminized Seeds are 100% Female! Unless you're breeding, or happy to weed out any males from your crop. You're going to want feminized seeds! Unlike regular marijuana seeds, which will produce female plants as well as a small proportion of male plants, when you buy feminised cannabis seeds you are guaranteed female plants every time. This means you are able to produce an abundance of delicious marijuana buds from every plant. The demand for feminized seeds has increased in the past 10 years, especially for commercial growers and has now overtaken the sale of regular cannabis seeds on some continents.

This salad was on the cover of this month's Fine Cooking magazine. Though I didn't purchase the magazine, I definately took note of the great colors in the salad. How could I resist making something so beautiful?
Blanched grean beans, fresh sweet corn (or frozen), sliced red onions and halved plum tomatoes, dressed with a drizzle of vinagrette and a good sprinkle of salt and pepper. It's the perfect side to anything that comes off your grill this summer.

A report dealing with the broader issues of rural connectivity in Africa to be launched next week by the Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation (CTO) reveals that a number of novel and multi-stakeholder partnerships, unique business models and innovative technologies are, for the first time, paving the way to connect many of Africas rural communities, on a sustainable, profitable basis.
The report provides evidence that contrary to some assumptions that the private sector can lead the effort to connect Africas rural populations, the experiences of industrialised countries like Canada, the Unites States and Australia is that governments have had to lead the effort, but in close collaboration with the private sector and local communities. The report calls for Commonwealth African governments to implement their national ICT policies as part of a wider national development strategy and to make faster in-roads into rural ICT rollout through public private peoples partnerships (PPPPs), with local communities playing a more pivotal role.
The report finds that the key to successful partnerships between the public and private sectors and other ICT stakeholders is to encourage local ownership, thereby nurturing the communitys enthusiasm for effective connectivity and ensuring the sustainability of ICT investments.
The CTO study found that whereas Commonwealth countries such as Malaysia and India have made significant in-roads in rural connectivity, Commonwealth African countries like Sierra Leone and Zambia are lagging behind in rural access, leading to poor and overall slow economic growth. The report finds that although recent years have seen dramatic growth in penetration rates in some African countries, especially through mobile networks, the continents aggregate penetration rate is still less than 20 percent.
For Internet access and use, the figures are well below 5 percent for most of Africa. Over 60 percent of Africas population lives in unconnected rural areas and represent an untapped market, holding enormous potential for growth for service providers, equipment manufacturers and the entire telecommunications industry, the report claims.
By way of conclusion the report calls for ICT policy provisions that focus on universal and rural access, in order to affirm the commitment of governments to providing basic ICT services to poor, isolated and marginalised communities . There is also the need for continued incremental and a more methodical process of liberalisation and privatisation of the telecommunications sector in many African countries, and a variety of regulatory safeguards need to be put in place to foster competition and promote a conducive environment for rural connectivity.
Commenting on the initiative the CEO of CTO, Dr. Ekwow Spio-Garbrah said: The evidence we have accumulated in the course of this 9-month study demonstrates that most of Africas rural populations could well be connected over the next decade. This is partly because an unusual confluence of sounder policies, relevant legislation, improving regulatory practices, the establishment of universal access and service agencies and the revenues they have acquired, new technologies and business models, and the availability of funding from a plethora of sources, all make it now possible for most of Africa to be connected wirelessly within the next ten years. According to the CTO CEO, who is a former Minister of Communications of Ghana, the pilot project models we have found to work best are where a combination of public institutions and private ICT operators or equipment vendors have found it possible to involve local groups or communities in structuring, ownership or management of the ICT assets, to ensure their more effective use and sustainable operation. We hope that more companies will join the CTO as we move to the second phase of this important initiative to replicate and scale-up a number of selected model projects, so that the benefits of ICTs can be enjoyed by millions more in Africa. Connecting the majority of Africans to the Information Super Highway is necessary if African countries are to benefit from the global knowledge revolution, said the CTO CEO.
The project was undertaken under the auspices of the Commonwealth Connects programme, which involves collaboration with a number of Commonwealth agencies, including the Commonwealth Secretariat. It is supported by the International Telecommunication Union, as part of efforts to help unearth market opportunities, enhance technological advancements, as well as accelerate social development and economic growth by connecting rural communities in the 18 Commonwealth African countries.
The first phase of the project was aimed at discovering how telecommunications regulation, policy, legislation, and operational, technological and financial models affect the potential for cost-effective rural connectivity in the 18 African Commonwealth countries. The research compiled similar information on initiatives and best practices of five selected non-African countries namely USA, Canada, Australia, Malaysia and India, countries that have enjoyed greater success in connecting their rural populations. Subsequently the initiative is to devise effective dissemination channels for the report and identify 10 pilot projects for adaptation and replication to form the basis for the second phase of the project.
The Commonwealth African Rural Connectivity Initiative (COMARCI) has so far received financial support from the Government of Malta, BT Global, Vodacom Group, Telkom of South Africa, Celtel Uganda and from the CTO itself.

Incoming texts stopped working on 13.38.52
Checking to see if anyone else is having issues with incoming texts not working on the A4AN radio, running version 13.38.52. I using a Samsung Galaxy S4, which prior to today, was working fine. It also worked well with 13.19.
I can send outgoing texts, and incoming texts will appear after a vehicle power cycle, but have lost incoming notifications on the GC.
Re: Incoming texts stopped working on 13.38.52
Are you running 4.3 on the GS4? I upgraded mine, and lost text. I unpaired and re-paired the phone, and it worked fine after that. Might be worth a shot.
Re: Incoming texts stopped working on 13.38.52
Re: Incoming texts stopped working on 13.38.52
I paired my Note 3, everything works except for text messaging (message button is grayed out), does not notify me of incoming messages let alone reading them out loud.
Any ideas how to get this to work?

The Top Eight Customer Management Trends For 2010
Posted by William Band on December 14, 2009
- 528 Recommendations
- 3 comments
By William Band
As 2009 draws to a close, what are the key trends that customer management business process professionals need to pay attention to as you finalize your plans for next year?
Trend 1: Companies Return To Investing In Their Most Important Asset – Customers
Beginning in mid-2009, I have seen a strong up-tick in investment dollars being released by organizations intent on improving their customer management capabilities to capitalize on the economic up-turn. What are their key priorities? My most recent research shows that both B2B and B2C enterprises spotlight improved customer loyalty as their top goal. But, B2B companies are also intent on capturing new customers, while B2C companies obsess about improving the customer experience.
Trend 2: Social CRM Hype Reaches A Crescendo
Three in four US online adults now use social tools to connect with each other compared with just 56% in 2007. As a consequence, technology vendors and self-styled experts have jumped on this bandwagon promising an easy path to the promised-land of more deeply engaged customers using Social Computing solutions. Yes, business process professionals should be advocating and launching experiments to prove-out Social CRM strategies and learn about best practices. But, if you don't have sound customer management process fundamentals in place - don't expect social media to compensate for this deficiency.
Trend 3: CRM Evolves To Become The Customer Management Ecosystem
Mature organizations understand that optimizing end-to-end customer-facing business processes means integrating solutions that extend beyond "traditional CRM." In addition to marketing, sales, and service functionalities you need to incorporate closely-related capabilities like billing, order management, or contract management. My TechRadar report for CRM solutions profiles 19 customer management technology domains around which business process professionals should design their future plans.
Trend 4: Price/Value Trumps Functionality In Purchase Decisions
Battered by two years of recession, buyers of customer management solutions have become extremely value conscious. CRM software-as-a-service solutions (SaaS) software solutions continue to gain market share as even large enterprises balk at investing more in the traditional complex and costly on-premises solutions. In 2010, first-time buyers will be in strong position to push vendors to demonstrate value through pilot demonstrations and more flexible contract arrangements than in the past. And, price wars are breaking out in the SaaS CRM segment.
Trend 5: Customer Service Moves Back Into The Spotlight
We see a rising number of inquiries from clients about how to improve their customer service capabilities. Contact center customer support needs to evolve to better serve customers who no longer rely on one venue for receiving information but instead engage multiple sources. In addition to checking a company's Web site and its brochures, many customers research information on products and services from social networking sources, such as blogs, and online user ratings With customers now requiring more real-time support, it's essential to keep pace with their expectations and to respond to them in new ways.
Trend 6: The Struggle To Integrate Customer Data Continues
The volume of inquires that Forrester receives about customer data integration (CDI) continues to increase. Customer management professionals tell us that poor data management is one of the biggest barriers to getting value from their CRM systems. But, the right approach to customer data management is elusive.
Trend 7: Scrutiny Of Business Cases Remains Intense
The need to build a sound business case to prove value before investing in CRM process and technology changes – what Forrester calls Total Economic Impact (TEI) - is a perennial topic of inquires from our clients. They want to know how to pinpoint the best opportunities for creating business value, and how to put in place the right metrics to track their success.
Trend 8: Following Best Practices Separates Winners From Losers
Business process professionals cannot afford failed customer management projects, particularly in tough economic times when business survival may be at stake. You need to pin-point the opportunities for quick wins and execute flawlessly. Successful companies focus on five CRM fundamentals: promoting user adoption, focusing on business processes, establishing executive sponsorship, practicing sound customer data management, and defining the right metrics. Attention to discipline in execution is what sets winners apart from the well-publicized failures.
re: The Top Eight Customer Management Trends For 2010
Comment from Kevin O'Brien (not verified) on Tue, 12/15/2009 - 11:45
Great article William.I can attest to the validity of this data. We've seen quite a bit of interest in CDI across all customer interaction points. Of the 50 or so new prospect meetings we've had over the past 3 months, CDI was discussed nearly 100% of the time. What we see is that many companies have disparate systems across the customer experience and providing customer data at each stage imperative. Self Service is also an area where that data needs to be accessible, requiring more integration complexity.Additionally, your Trend #7 is a significant factor we've recently seen. Even though there are significant up ticks available in customer service quality, the cost-benefit analysis is insignificant unless the benefit is near term and exponentially more than the investment.
re: The Top Eight Customer Management Trends For 2010
Comment from Ray Brown (not verified) on Wed, 12/16/2009 - 01:18
Hi William, Great article. I'm so pleased that someone is eventually using the term Customer Management. I believe that moving away from the CRM language confusion will do more than anything to help the market get the scale of process change that is required. CRM software is an essential tool of customer management. It's time we stopped confusing our clients by trying to get one word to mean two different concepts i.e. CRM meaning both software and the systems and processes of customer management.

Twitter's Video Hashtags Automatically Add Media To Text
As users type #allin when composing a tweet, video ads from Adidas pop up.
The World Cup is taking social media to a whole new level. Twitter has joined forces with two of the games' advertisers, Visa and adidas, to experiment with video hashtagging.
Twitter experimented with the feature last month, where a user can type "#visa" and then a space, you should see a paper clip prompt in your Twitter iOS app. Click on the icon and you can attach a video, which is an ad for Visa.
Adidas is currently testing the feature with the hashtag #allin, which would lead to this video:
This feature gives Twitter yet another monetization stream. Last month Twitter introduced the hashtag shopping cart, a partnership with Amazon which allows users to add items to their Amazon shopping cart by replying to a tweet that has an Amazon product link and adding the hashtag #AmazonCart. Once you do that (and sync your Twitter and Amazon accounts), the item will show up in your Amazon shopping cart.
The video feature will add another opportunity for marketers and advertisers to promote creative content, and being on the heels of the World Cup it will help Twitter give a boost to their paid promotion options.

Fortuna is considered to be a more abstract Roman deity, but one not lacking in power, either. This Fortuna Statue depicts this capricious goddess in her most classic form, that of a blindfolded woman who can bring either good luck or misfortune. Fortuna was considered to be capricious because she embodied both good luck and bad, meaning that at times, she could be generous and giving, while others Fortuna was responsible for all the bad luck that could rob you of all you had. In this statue, she appears as a young woman, dressed in a flowing Roman robe. Her eyes are covered with a blindfold, indicating that fortune and luck are impartial. In her hands, she holds a horn-shaped cornucopia that overflows with coins, indicating her power over not only luck, but also wealth. This stunning statue is crafted entirely in cold cast bronze, which is a variant of cold cast resin that is mixed with powdered bronze to give the statue a finish more like that of cast bronze metal. It is also hand painted, which infuses some color into the statue and enhances its already impressive detail. This Roman goddess statue stands approximately 7.25 inches tall. There is no promise that this Fortuna Statue will bring you wealth, luck, or fortune, but what it will bring you is a stylish new accessory that you can use when you decorate your home.

Having had to defend against a blade before I used hand to hand until I could bring my firearm into the situation.
I must be an exception to the rule, because I was moving, deflecting the blade, and drawing my gun all in one motion it seems. What I will tell you is, I GOT LUCKY!
I don't like relying on luck, but I won't pass it up when it's offered either.

Starkey: Herbie, Badger Bob would have loved this
The prestigious Hobey Baker Award, given to the United States' top college hockey player, will be presented at 6 p.m. Friday at Consol Energy Center.
Pretty cool. But imagine what the ceremony might have been like …
"Here to present this year's Hobey Baker Award, a pair of American hockey legends, each with significant ties to the city of Pittsburgh — Mr. Bob Johnson and Mr. Herb Brooks."
What a sight that would have been.
"Herbie" and "Badger Bob" — along with Baker himself — rank among the handful of most influential people in the history of American hockey.
Badger Bob would have turned 82 last month. Herbie would have turned 76 in August. Oh, how they would have loved college hockey being celebrated in such style at the Frozen Four.
And in Pittsburgh on top of that?
"My dad would have been lovin' life to see how far college hockey has come," said Mark Johnson, ex-Penguin and son of Badger Bob. "He would have been smiling ear to ear."
"My dad would be in his glory," said Dan Brooks, son of Herbie. "The last college team he coached was (Frozen Four participant) St. Cloud State — his baby, so to speak — and he just loved Pittsburgh."
No doubt, the two old men would have been chatting up everyone in sight. The challenge would have been getting them to speak to each other. They were, after all, college hockey's version of Woody Hayes and Bo Schembechler in the 1970s.
Both had played college hockey at Minnesota under legendary coach John Mariucci. Herbie went on to coach at Minnesota, with Badger Bob just 300 miles down Interstate 94 at Wisconsin.
Herbie won national titles in 1974, '76 and '79. Badger Bob won them in '73, '77 and '81.
Badger Bob coached the 1976 U.S. Olympic team and later was director of USA Hockey. Herbie, of course, coached the iconic 1980 team — the team that spawned a generation of hockey players who would have chosen some other sport if not for the Miracle on Ice.
Personality-wise, the two could not have been more dissimilar. In the book "One Goal," John Powers and Art Kaminsky artfully described the differences:
"Brooks was tight-lipped, blunt and often critical. Johnson was hyperactive, garrulous and unabashedly boosterish. Brooks was mysterious and enigmatic. With Johnson, no guessing was necessary; if you didn't know what he was doing and why, he would tell you — a dozen times."
What they shared was an obsessive approach to their craft and a deep affection for U.S. hockey, particularly at the collegiate level. Both worked tirelessly to grow the sport — and likely never imagined millions tuning in to watch the Frozen Four on ESPN.
Badger Bob remained ever the teacher and ambassador while leading the Penguins to their first Stanley Cup, in 1991, before he passed away from brain cancer.
"The ultimate what-can-I-do-to-get-more-people-involved-in-hockey guy," Mark Johnson said.
The same was true of Herbie, who died in a car accident in 2003. Much of his early motivation was seeing America constantly play second fiddle.
"There was a Canadian dominance in the NHL and the Soviets and Czechs dominating the world arena," Dan Brooks said. "That just lit a fire under my father."
Everywhere you looked Wednesday, you could see their legacies alive and well at Consol. The Penguins' Badger Bob-coined slogan — "It's a Great Day for Hockey" — is everywhere, and St. Cloud State has several connections to Herbie, who took a one-year coaching job there in 1986-87.
Herbie's mission was to raise the school's profile and move it toward Division I status. He led the team to the Division III semifinals and later worked behind the scenes to secure funding for a new arena.
St. Cloud State coach Bob Motzko was a student assistant under Herbie in 1987. One of his better players is freshman winger Jonny Brodzinski, whose dad, Mike, was St. Cloud State's captain in '86-87.
Any good stories from that year? Everybody has a good Herbie story.
Jonny laughed: "He would bring my dad out in the hallway and chew him out, but he'd leave the doorway cracked so the entire team could hear."
The Penguins' hockey operations department is a living, breathing testament to U.S. college hockey, starting with GM Ray Shero (St. Lawrence) and coach Dan Bylsma (Bowling Green).
Before Shero, Craig Patrick ran the Penguins. He'd been an assistant under Herbie with the Miracle on Ice team and later hired Herbie and Badger Bob into the Penguins organization (at different times, of course).
In the end, you have to believe Badger Bob and Herbie would have gotten along this weekend, if only for the awards ceremony.
"Certainly, they could have had a wonderful conversation about their families and talked hockey," said Mark Johnson, who starred on the '80 Olympic team. "The room would have been full of people — and they would have had fun watching."

Top Five Odes to Fall
Well before Joseph Kosma's Autumn Leaves became both a pop and jazz standard, the seasonal happening of the fall -- foliage turning colors, the shortening of days and harvest celebrations full of good food and drink -- inspired several musical minds of the season. In honor of Friday's autumnal equinox, we've compiled our top five odes to the fall.
1. Vivaldi's Concerto No. 3 (Autumn)
Perhaps no composer identifies as close with the seasons as Vivaldi, whose series of violin concertos are ubiquitous in classical collections. Though not as popular as Winter or Spring, Autumn is a familiar piece. Perhaps due to the harvest activities during this time of year, the work is written in a more narrative structure than the others. It begins with an allegro peasant dance then transitions to a lullaby for those partiers who imbibed too much ale or wine. The concerto ends with a rousing allegro movement to accompany a hunt.
2. Grieg's In Autumn
Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg's concert overture In Autumn forebodes the harsh Scandinavian winter. The work begins with a bright theme before segueing into a threatening "autumn storm." Though one of Grieg's contemporaries, Niels Gade, told him the work was subpar, Grieg entered an arrangement of the piece four hands in a contest conducted by the Swedish Academy. It won first prize.
3. Ives' Yale-Princeton Football Game
No American composer might have translated the fall season into music as well as Charles Ives. Thanksgiving, Hallowe'en, Maple Leaves, September and Autumn all provided subjects — and titles — for songs, movements and chamber works. However, his memorable orchestration of the Yale-Princeton Football Game, celebrating a rite of the season for sports fans, lands him in our top five.
4. Stravinsky's Persephone
Igor Stravinsky's melodrama Persephone could be considered a lesser-known counterpart to his Rite of Spring. The work for orchestra, tenor and a female narrator, tells the Greek myth about the goddess Persephone, the daughter of Greek goddess Demeter whose descent into the Underworld causes the fall season. Persephone's ascent back to light restores the spring. The work was written in the 1930s for Ida Rubinstein's ballet company. About 50 years later George Balanchine choreographed a version for New York City Ballet.
5. Respighi's Autumn Poem
Italian composer Ottorino Respighi also attempted to describe a fall scene with Autumn Poem, a work for solo violin and orchestra. Though his descriptions aren't quite as literal as in his other tone poems, such as The Birds, the folksy melody is supposed to portray a Dionysian bacchanal, ending with Pan, who celebrates under the falling leaves.
Weigh in: What's your favorite autumnal piece?

Cooper leaving to become USF assistant HC
The Bucs lose defensive backs coach Ron Cooper to the team down the road Thursday. Cooper was hired as new USF assistant head coach.
Cooper, who will also coach the Bulls secondary, brings 30 years of coaching experience to the Bulls' staff, including two different stints as a defensive coordinator and three as a head coach on the collegiate level. He spent last season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he served as defensive backs coach.
"Ron Cooper is a valuable addition to our staff," said Taggart. "His experience will be a huge asset in his role as assistant head coach. In addition, he has recently worked with some of the top secondaries and defensive backs in college football, which will serve us greatly both on the field and in recruiting."
Cooper transitioned to the NFL after spending three seasons (2009-11) as LSU's secondary coach. He mentored one of the top secondaries in the country that included national award winners in CB Morris Claiborne, CB Patrick Peterson and CB Tyrann Mathieu. Cooper coached two Thorpe Award winners, Peterson in 2010 and Claiborne in 2011, which is given to the top defensive back in college football, and two Bednarik Award winners.

soffit question
hello all,
Do all outside walls have to have a soffit?
Soffits are needed to create a draft to the roof vents. Then the venting works correctly.
No Money,
Do you mean a soffit vent or do you mean 'a soffit'?
i had an addition put on the main house.
it is a 12x16 sun room with a 5x7 powder room adjoining it on the east side. the north side of the powder room does not have an overhang( i thought the term was soffit ). the contractor said that is how it is done in ohio....i am in florida.
so i am planning on 'sistering' a 2x4 on the soon to be exposed rafter( cathedral-type ceiling ) i can get to, use hurrican clamps for 2x4 ?stringers? to extend an overhang by around a foot or so( to match the other overhang dimensions ), redo all the roofing shingles on the edge as well as ?cladding? and drip edges and declare victory.
it goes without saying that the former ohioan does not return my calls .
In that case,
as Redline said...All roof structures should have a soffit (unless it's a small shed) and ..... a soffit vent installed as well.
Well, "needed" is a relative word, and vetilation can be achieved with wedge vents also, but I like to see an eave all the way around to keep the water off the top of the walls.
installed one foot wide eave per earlier posts, used hurricane clamps keeping the 2x4's solid. put cdx over. felted and flashed in.
one little problem occurred saturday - fell off the ladder, carrying too much up in one trip, i am OK but i have more respect for that darn ladder.....will be taking it slower. i think i am getting too old for this type of work...a little swelling on the right hand
today i put the tiles on the roof.
and here is the famous ladder commercial......
more progress:
ran out of steam after work yesterday. just managed to put in the channels, fascias, drip edges.....and just to be safe i put some more felt down to really cover any open areas, it was 1930 by that time. it is supposed to rain in the orlando area today so i will see how good the felt does.
the 'installer' who put in the new roof for me over the addition did not seem to goober(roofing tar) down the edge tiles on the drip edges, important here in florida because of hurricanes. on one hand it was easier to take off the old tiles, on the other hand i have to do that for the tiles i am replacing and also all the other ones i thought were done.
no good deed shall go unpunished...............
well, no more falling off ladders.......the job is complete, a nice overhang, keeps water off of the wall top, looks original, and is strong.
it survived its first rain and wind so i have declared vicory :rolleyes:

Local cheerleader shares his unexpected rise to the top
EDMONTON – It's something Lachlan Meyer never dreamed he'd be doing.
"One of my best friends said, 'you should be a cheerleader.' And I said, 'ha ha no.' And she said, 'come to one practice,'" Meyer laughed as he recalled the day he got his start in the sport.
The 18-year old is a member of the renowned California Allstars Cali Coeds cheerleading squad.
Originally from Edmonton, Meyer got his start in cheerleading here, auditioning with a local club on a whim, never expecting to get a callback.
"I was 13 and I fell in love with the sport," said Meyer. It's been a whirlwind ever since.
The California-based team he's currently part of recently won the U.S. nationals and is now off to the world championships in April.
Meyer credits his ability to 'stunt,' or toss members of the squad during aerial acts for his success.
"It's very hard. The level I'm at is unbelievably hard," Meyer said. The team is one of the top ranked in the world and trains four days a week for three hours at a time.
"The team I'm on actually was the first cheer video I ever watched so my friend was like, 'watch this, this is one of the best teams.' And I said, 'oh man I'm gonna be on that team one day,'" Meyer said. He adds he was joking and never thought he would make the team.
This is his last season with the under 18 team.
Meyer plans on moving back to Edmonton to pursue a career in coaching and try out for the Edmonton Eskimos cheer team.

text: Suranne Jones to star in BBC1's Secret of Crickley Hall Scott & Bailey star will lead ensemble cast in literary chiller this Halloween Comments Written By 10:28 AM, 07 March 2012 Suranne Jones is to play the lead in The Secret of Crickley Hall, a BBC1 dramatisation of James Herbert's 2006 bestseller. The haunted-house chiller, to be shown at Halloween, will also feature Tom Ellis (Miranda), Wallander stars David Warner and Sarah Smart, Douglas Henshall (Primeval) and Iain de Caestecker (The Fades). Jones takes the role of Eve Caleigh, a woman who moves her family to Crickley Hall to try to get over the disappearance of their son, only to be plagued by supernatural occurrences. A dual timeline then develops, with the action moving between now and 1943. "The Secret of Crickley Hall is a classic haunted house spine-chiller with an emotional family story at its heart," Jones said. Writer/director Joe Ahearne added: "Everyone loves a good ghost story and James Herbert is an iconic writer in the genre. He's come up with a really thrilling and moving story that delights you while it's terrifying you. It's a testament to his craft that we've attracted such a great cast to play the characters he created." Filming starts this month in and around Manchester. Like this? Share it.

new menber brake question
I purchased a 2002 zx3 with 34k miles last Feb. Now have 39k and the dealer says it needs pads and rotors.I dont want to use them too expensive.
What brands do you recomend I plan to use a shop close to my job.
If a shop is doing the work, usually they have brands that they use due to who they order their parts from. Most likely Auto Zone or O'Riley's. If your not doing aggressive driving then just about any grade will work well. As a rule of thumb I don't get the cheapest parts but go with the mid grade or higher.
You will want a semimetalic brake pad most likely.
2002 with only 39k miles... wow. Stock brakes most likely. You could always have the rotors just turned and then just get pads also...
Welcome to forum [welcome] [ffrocks] [loveff]
I moved your thread to the brake and suspension chat area so you can get more opinions.
I highly recommend Wagner brand brake parts. Had some on our Oddy and they've lasted 3yrs already. The first set I put on were house brands from the local autoparts store. The rotors warped within a week, took em' back and got the Wagner's and been happy ever since. Also Centric is a good brand I've heard good things about them. You can get these brands and other on Rockauto.com they have fantastic prices on brake parts. Though I would still shop around cause every once in a while I find parts that are very close to their price and local though not all the time.
If the brakes are dead at 40K I'd most certainly be looking for better more expensive parts. You are a heavy user, the fronts usually last easily 75K......the rears 110K+. If you pick cheap you will be changing them in 20K miles.

CampusOnline.no offers a digital Norwegian language test. The Norwegian language test is included in all of our course packages and the result is used to recommend at what level you should begin the course. You can also take the test free of charge and without obligation directly from CampusOnline.no by clicking on the button at the bottom of this page. If you decide to order the course after having taken the Norwegian language test, it is not necessary to take the test again.
To take the Norwegian language test you must first fill out a simple registration form and subsequently log in with the username and password you will then receive in an e-mail. You can choose the language that you want for instruction. The languages available are Norwegian, English, Swedish and Danish. The Norwegian language test has two parts: a written part and a listening part. You must for that reason have sound on your computer.Take the language test
The test is based on two methods: Self-assessment, where you personally evaluate your Norwegian language knowledge, and self-tests, where you choose the correct answers to the exercises. You start each test part by filling out a simple self-assessment form, where you try to evaluate your Norwegian language level.
The Norwegian language test is made up of five tests:
The level of the test will be adapted automatically, according to your answers. If you have more than 90% correct answers on a particular test, you will receive an offer to take the test at a higher level. If you have less than 20% correct answers on a particular test, you will receive an offer to take the test at a lower level. The levels are: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2.

King County PIO Sgt. Cindi West shared this report about a sexual assault that took place after midnight on Roxbury Street S.W.
"We responded to a sexual assault call about 1220 am this morning in the area of 26th and Roxbury. A man called and said a woman asked him to call the police because she had been assaulted by an unknown male.
When we arrived we contacted a 58 year old woman who said she had been walking eastbound on Roxbury on the south side of the street. She said as she was walking a man approached her and asked for a cigarette. She gave him a cigarette and then the man grabbed her and pulled her to a nearby lot. The suspect then physically and sexually assaulted her.
The woman was taken to Harborview for treatment. We attempted a K-9 track but did not locate the suspect. At this time the only description we have is a black male, approximately 25 years old, last seen wearing a dark hoodie. "

Nikkei jumps to 4-1/2-month high on Fed optimism; Toyota, Sony in demand
* Foreign investors place large buy orders on Japanese stocks * Bellwether exporters soar on offshore demand * 32 of 33 sub-sectors in positive territory By Ayai Tomisawa TOKYO, June 19 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei share average jumped 1.4 percent to a 4-1/2-month high on Thursday morning after the U.S. Federal Reserve expressed confidence on its economy and committed to its dovish monetary policy, which spurred buying from foreign investors. The Nikkei rose 213.07 points to 15,328.87 in mid-morning trade after climbing as high as 15,336.84, the highest since January 29. Traders said that foreign investors placed a large amount of buy orders on such bellwether stocks as Toyota Motor Corp , which jumped 2.6 percent and was the second-most traded stock by turnover. Honda Motor Co and Sony Corp surged 1.8 percent and 3.8 percent, respectively. "UK funds are buying Toyota and stocks like Nomura Holdings, which have high short-sale ratios, are being bought as well," said a trader at a foreign brokerage. Nomura gained 1.7 percent and was the fifth-most traded stock by turnover. The broader Topix soared 1.3 percent to 1,265.38, with 32 of its 33 sub-sectors in positive territory. "Yesterday's Fed announcements include more than one good news, so that's positive for Japanese market sentiment," said Nobuhiko Kuramochi, a strategist at Mizuho Securities. "The Fed sees the U.S. economy is on track, while it hinted of low interest rates in the long term." The Fed expressed confidence the U.S. economic recovery was on track and hinted at a slightly more aggressive pace of interest rate increases starting next year, but suggested rates in the long run would be lower than previously indicated. As widely expected, the Fed pushed ahead with plans to wind down one of its main stimulus programmes, reducing its monthly bond purchases to $35 billion from $45 billion. The JPX-Nikkei Index 400 gained 1.2 percent to 11,504.88. (Editing by Jacqueline Wong)

Portland-area cultural events
Edited by Randall Barton
'Celebration of Lights'
Lajos Balogh leads the Metropolitan Youth Symphony in a concert that also spotlights the MYS symphonic band and the Wilsonville High School Choir.
- Eric Bartels
7:30 p.m. FRIDAY, Dec. 1, Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, 1037 S.W. Broadway, 503-239-4566, $6-$32
'An Early Winter Romance'
Violinist Anthony Dyer and pianist Cary Lewis join forces for a concert benefiting the Community Music Center, which provides low-cost music instruction for youths and adults in Southeast Portland.
The duo will perform Beethoven's Romance No. 1 in G Major and No. 2 in F Major as well as selections by Prokofiev and Ravel.
7:30 p.m. FRIDAY, Dec. 1, Community Music Center, 3350 S.E. Francis St., 503-823-3177, $10 suggested donation
'The Forgotten Carols'
Sixties troubadour Glenn Yarbrough narrates and sings.
The term 'beauty queens' gets a new definition when Triangle Productions revisits its gender-bending spoof.
8 p.m. FRIDAY and SATURDAY, through Dec. 23, Firehouse Theater, 1436 S.W. Montgomery St., 503-239-5919, www.tripro.org, $20-$25
'This Wonderful Life'
The stunning Wade McCollum vehicle 'I Am My Own Wife' is the second one-man show launched at Portland Center Stage show in less than a year.
The first was a world premiere based on the Hollywood film classic 'It's a Wonderful Life' that was co-written and acted by New Yorker Mark Setlock last season.
This year, Setlock is replaced by Matthew Floyd Miller, another Gotham-based actor, but audiences can expect the same loving but lively take on the Frank Capra gem.
7:30 p.m. FRIDAY and SATURDAY, 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. SUNDAY, 7:30 p.m. Tuesday-Thursday, through Dec. 24 (check for additional dates during run), Gerding Theater at the Armory, 128 N.W. 11th Ave., 503-445-3700, www.pcs.org, $16.50-$39.50
'I Am My Own Wife'
Wade McCollum brilliantly embodies nearly three dozen characters with mind-blowing dexterity in Doug Wright's profound and moving one-man play, which won a Pulitzer Prize and two Tony Awards in 2004.
Guided by the playwright's compelling narrative, McCollum takes a little-known eccentric - German antiquities collector and transvestite Charlotte von Mahlsdorf - and infuses her with such authenticity that she is fully real the minute we meet her.
In the Portland Center Stage production von Mahlsdorf is a living legend, an extraordinary outsider who survives two brutally oppressive regimes. But scandal and tragedy also play roles.
While von Mahlsdorf's Gründerzeit Museum doubles as a home to East Berlin's gay community, questions emerge about her association with communist security forces during the Cold War.
7:30 p.m. FRIDAY, 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. SATURDAY, 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. SUNDAY, 7:30 p.m. Tuesday-Thursday, through Dec. 31, Gerding Theater at the Armory, Studio Stage, 128 N.W. 11th Ave., 503-445-3700, www.pcs.org, $16.50-$59.50
'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'
You almost wonder if it makes sense to stage something as iconic as this, so indelible was the Oscar-hogging 1975 movie version. But Integrity Productions and director Corey Brunish do a fine job with Ken Kesey's classic story.
Don Alder turns in an energetic performance as Randle P. McMurphy, a charismatic con man who meets his match inside a mental institution, and Jane Geesman finds the right temperature setting for McMurphy's icy rival, Nurse Ratched. A large supporting cast, led by Tim Blough, is uniformly solid.
8 p.m. FRIDAY and SATURDAY, 4 p.m. SUNDAY, 8 p.m. Thursday, through Dec. 10, Theater Theatre, 3430 S.E. Belmont St., 503-286-3456, $10
'Plaid Tidings'
If you liked the very likable 'Forever Plaid,' you'll want to catch the continuing antics of Smudge, Francis, Jinx and Sparky, the Eisenhower-era quartet whose members are determined to play the gig of their dreams despite the fact that they're dead.
8 p.m. FRIDAY and SATURDAY, 2 p.m. SUNDAY (some changes in dates and times later in run), through Dec. 23, Portland Center for the Performing Arts, Brunish Hall, 1111 S.W. Broadway, 503-248-4355, $20-$28; also available through Ticketmaster (503-224-4400), subject to service charges
Local actor Lava Alapai mines her own story for the outline of a world-premiere play. Young Serena Matthews is 18 when she learns that she's black.
In the search for self-discovery that follows, Serena is counseled by a white friend, a chorus of dancers and a puppet named Whoopi Godmother.
Alapai wrestled with her own identity when she moved to West Virginia from her native Hawaii to begin college.
Kristan Seemel directs for Many Hats Collaboration.
8 p.m. FRIDAY and SATURDAY, 8 p.m. Thursday, through Dec. 9, Interstate Firehouse Cultural Center, 5340 N. Interstate Ave., 503-952-6646, www.manyhatscollaboration.com, $12
'Inspecting Carol'
A struggling theater company is at wit's end with its annual production of 'A Christmas Carol,' but desperate for the cash it will generate. Then word comes that a National Endowment for the Arts inspector will soon arrive to decide whether the company is fit to receive further funding. Big laughs ensue.
Karen Trumbo, Mark Schwann and Todd Van Voris star. Pat Patton directs.
8 p.m. FRIDAY and SATURDAY, 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. SUNDAY, 7 p.m. Tuesday-Thursday, through Dec. 24, Artists Repertory Theatre, 1516 S.W. Alder St., 503-241-1278, www.artistsrep.org, $22.50-$42.50
'A Tuna Christmas'
Funny enough to have won a Tony nomination on Broadway, this is the sequel to 'Greater Tuna.' Catch up with the hilarious denizens of Tuna, Texas, for some holiday cheer. Rick Warren and Jay Horenstein star, and Bill Dobson directs for Lakewood Theatre.
8 p.m. FRIDAY and SATURDAY, 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. SUNDAY, 8 p.m. Thursday, through Dec. 17, Lakewood Center for the Arts, 368 S. State St., Lake Oswego, 503-635-3901, www.lakewood-center.org, $23-$25
'The Maids'
Lee Kyle and Devan McGrath, best known for their work in the Portland punk/drag art band Sissyboy, star in the first full-length work of theater by their p.boy productions.
Fellow Sissyboy Jeffrey Kreischer also stars in Jean Genet's absurdist drama, which was based on a disturbing true story.
8 p.m. FRIDAY and SATURDAY, 8 p.m. Thursday, through Dec. 9, Back Door Theater, 4319 S.E. Hawthorne Blvd., 971-506-9291, $10-$12
'I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change'
People don't flock to this hit musical revue for cutting-edge comedy. The references to Sharon Stone and Häagen-Dazs - Häagen-Dazs? - ensure it plays like a period piece, but the show's veteran cast, back from a long and successful run earlier in the decade, is agile and assured.
Big crowds on opening weekend suggest this chestnut still has plenty of flavor. Greg Tamblyn directs for his Pixie Dust Productions.
8 p.m. FRIDAY and SATURDAY, through Dec. 23, World Trade Center, 121 S.W. Salmon St., 503-624-0403, www.pixiedustshows.com, $27-$30
'Three Years'
Wealthy Muscovite falls for provincial girl in czarist Russia, relationship goes south, nobody's happy. It's dreary outside; go see some Chekhov. Keith Scales directs.
7:30 p.m. FRIDAY and SATURDAY, 3 p.m. SUNDAY, Dec. 1-3, West End Theatre, 1220 S.W. Taylor St., 1-800-838-3006, www.brownpapertickets.com/event/6700, $15
'Christmas of Swing'
The award-winning Broadway Rose Theatre Co. resurrects the wartime charm of the Andrews Sisters for this lively slice of holiday nostalgia, set at a rehearsal for a Christmas Eve USO show. Lisamarie Harrison, Carrie Baldwin-Sayre and Chrissy Kelly star.
8 p.m. FRIDAY, 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. SATURDAY, 2 p.m. SUNDAY, through Dec. 10, Tualatin High School Auditorium, 22300 S.W. Boones Ferry Road, 503-620-5262, www.broadwayrose.com, $19-$26 (Sunday shows sold out)
Brody Theater
The grandfather of Portland improv theater, Brody just got pink-slipped at its longtime home in Northwest Portland. Improvising, founder and leader Tom Johnson and his troupe will follow through on scheduled performances of 'Theatresports' (Fridays) and 'Antiques Improv Show' (Saturdays) until the curtain drops Dec. 16, all the while looking for a new venue.
8 p.m. FRIDAY and SATURDAY through Dec. 16, Brody Theater, 1904 N.W. 27th Ave., 503-224-0688, www.brodytheater.com, $7-$10
QuArt PDX
The queer art collective presents 'Machines Are Beautiful,' an art exhibit consisting of mostly paintings, drawings and photography, with some busts.

- Joseph Gallivan
7 a.m. to 10 p.m. FRIDAY and SATURDAY, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. SUNDAY, 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, through Dec. 31, Muddy Waters Coffeehouse, 2908 S.E. Belmont St., 503-233-1923, free
Marne Lucas
What could be more Portland than a bunch of artists you've never heard of sporting 'Are we famous yet?' looks for the camera.
Lucas, already a fine portraitist working on international subjects, got a Regional Arts and Culture Council grant and snapped 17 artists in comical poses for 'Sitting City: Portland Artist Portraits.' The idea was to present a snapshot of the Portland art scene in 2006.
'Most of the setups were my gut impression of these folks, a fantasy projection of how I see them, often in a situation that mimics their work,' Lucas says. This show should make a suitably upbeat launch of Mark Woolley's new commitment to his east-side gallery. Opening reception 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday, Dec. 1; artist talk 2 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 2.
11 a.m. to 6 p.m. FRIDAY and SATURDAY, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday to Thursday, through Dec. 30, Mark Woolley Gallery, 128 N.E. Russell St., 503-284-3636, free
Elizabeth Leach's gallery celebrates 25 years since its founding with a collage show which captures the exuberance of the cut-and-paste method. Many of these pieces are bright and bold, leaving cautious Modernism in the dust.
10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., FRIDAY and SATURDAY, 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, through Dec. 30, Elizabeth Leach Gallery, 417 N.W. Ninth Ave., 503-224-0521, free
Hadley Howes and Maxwell Stephens from Vancouver, British Columbia, spent the summer restaging scenes from photos of the Kent State riots on May 4, 1970. Now they project the videos they made on cutout representations of themselves.
Also in the house will be Lucien Samaha, sitting live at a desk and taking photographs. He's also bringing 100 of his 300,000 photos and promises to bend your ear about them.
Noon to 5 p.m. FRIDAY-SUNDAY, noon to 5 p.m. Tuesday-Thursday, through Dec. 10, Reed College, Douglas F. Cooley Memorial Art Gallery, 3203 S.E. Woodstock Blvd., 503-777-7251
'The Nutcracker'
No, not that 'Nutcracker.' This one, produced by the Classical Ballet Academy of Sellwood, features a cast of young amateurs from around the area.
2 p.m. and 7 p.m. SATURDAY, 2 p.m. SUNDAY, Dec. 2-3, St. Mary's Academy, 1615 S.W. Fifth Ave., 503-890-6101, www.classicalballet.net, $10-$15

Streamlining foundations' application and reporting requirements to reduce the burden on grant-seeking organizations
This grant supports the Grants Managers Network (GMN) for an assessment of Project Streamline, a multipartner effort designed to reduce the burden of the grant application and reporting processes on nonprofits. Since its inception in 2007, Project Streamline has grown from an idea to an industrywide concept. During that time, there has been anecdotal evidence that Project Streamline's tools and publications have helped a number of medium- to large-size foundations to rethink their processes, evolving from something grants professionals know they should have done to something they have implemented and use as a primary benchmark. GMN is looking to capitalize on its progress by commissioning an assessment of the project's impact to date. The result of the findings will codify the successes, help GMN continue to raise awareness and, most importantly, identify the most promising methods to successful streamlining, which GMN will then aggressively promote industrywide. By continuing to collaborate with its existing partners and building connections to additional stakeholders, GMN will advocate for the basic principles and guidelines of Project Streamline to be included in all of the sector's curricula on grantmaking practices.

A week for visitors! First up - a very, very quick but very welcome visit from Donna last weekend. She was in Kent doing a workshop at the new Artistic Stamper shop and detoured past my house on the way home for a quick hello and dropping off of gorgeous gift. Thank you Donna - was lovely to see you!
Then another Donna, my sister, all the way from Scotland. She was down in Kent to bring my niece to London for her birthday - Phantom of the Opera - very nice. We got a visit from her before they headed home again and she came with Talon, my nieces 6 month old son. This meant Craig and I elbowing each other out of the way for cuddles. I have so forgotten what to do with babies :) It was lovely and he's such a cutey-pie!
I can't wait to have a play in it. Thank you Sue - very unexpected but very, very much appreciated. Such a sketchbook/journal addict and this one is perfect! And also for the paint too!
- Lovely sunny October weather, in-between the rain showers, making for lovely strolls with Ruby Monster on her bike
- Carrot cake from Craig, picked up on his way home from the Post Office ;)
- My family, always. Either making me smile, laugh or just helping out with the dishes
- The Wednesday Whine girls on FB for just being there
- You Tube, The Trodden Path group and everyone in Blogland for providing easy inspiration and viewing when I'm to tired to do much more than click a mouse
- Cooper the Piddly Pooper for being my shadow these past couple of weeks and providing (mostly stink free) hugs...

Turns out, the Korean company is doing some rigorous testing. Using the Samsung Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II, the company has posted a video taking us through all the tortures the two devices had to endure before going on sale.
The testing includes buttons pushed thousands and thousands of times, the devices twisted, sprayed with water, and put in a churning machine filled with edgy things (is that real corn?!) trying to scratch the screen. Take a look at all the horror right below, and rest assured - that device you bought is definitely ready to take a beating.

Verizon sued by shareholder over $130 bn Vodafone deal
In a lawsuit filed in a New York state court on Thursday, just three days after the transaction was announced, Natalie Gordon said Verizon shareholders are being "shortchanged" by the purchase of Vodafone's 45 percent stake in Verizon Wireless, the largest US mobile phone operator.
Verizon Communications Inc
In a lawsuit filed in a New York state court on Thursday, just three days after the transaction was announced, Natalie Gordon said Verizon shareholders are being "shortchanged" by the purchase of Vodafone's 45 percent stake in Verizon Wireless, the largest US mobile phone operator.
Verizon, which owns the other 55 percent, agreed to pay Vodafone USD 59 billion in cash, USD 60 billion in stock and other sums. Verizon Wireless has about 100 million customers.
Gordon said "it is evident that Verizon has overpaid," adding that "Wall Street analysts concur" and that Moody's Investors Service downgraded Verizon's credit.
She also pointed to a drop in Verizon's share price to USD 45.08 on September 3, the first trading day after the purchase was announced, from a peak of USD 48.60 on August 29, when news that Verizon and Vodafone had revived talks surfaced. The lawsuit characterized the 7.2 percent decline as "almost 10%."
The lawsuit seeks class-action status, and also names Verizon Chief Executive Lowell McAdam and 12 directors as defendants, accusing them of breaching their fiduciary duties.
It seeks to force Verizon to rescind the purchase or improve the terms, and force the individual defendants to pay damages.
"We believe this lawsuit is entirely without merit, and Verizon intends to defend itself vigorously," Randal Milch, Verizon executive vice president and general counsel, said in a statement.
Vodafone, which is not a defendant, declined to comment.
Gordon is represented by law firm Faruqi & Faruqi, and has within the last five years been a shareholder plaintiff in several other lawsuits filed by that firm, court records show.
Juan Monteverde, a partner at the New York-based firm, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Verizon-Vodafone transaction would be the third-largest in corporate history, and end their 14-year joint venture.
Talks resumed in earnest this summer as Verizon grew concerned that rising interest rates might make a transaction too pricey.
The price rose from the USD 100 billion that Verizon had earlier floated, people familiar with the matter said.
Moody's one-notch downgrade left Verizon's long-term credit rating at "Baa1," a low investment grade, reflecting the company's plan to add USD 67 billion of debt and more than double its debt load. Nonetheless, Moody's ratings outlook is "stable."
The case is Gordon v. Verizon Communications Inc et al, New York State Supreme Court, New York County, No. 653084/2013.

Team USA May Be Out Of World Cup, But Soccer Gains New Fans In South Florida
Team USA is out of the World Cup.
The Belgians were just too much for the American team, after Team USA falls 2-1 in extra time.
The sport of soccer may not be the most popular in the U-S, but many fans like Miami native Clement Quinones is warming up to it thanks to this year's World Cup.
"Let's stick to basketball, let's stick to American Football," he adds, "But it's good, It's like hockey, like 'Miracle' back in 1989 whenever it was, that's a good thing."
Other Miami fans like Chris Sanchelima are more optimistic.
"It gave a new life for American soccer here in South Florida."
Experts didn't even have the American team escaping the Group of Death.
And U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard provided for an amazing spectacle in the Belgian match-up after having 16 saves, the most in any World Cup since 1966.
