The Ultimate Astrological Field Guide to Men
General 2014 Overview:
The only thing constant is change, Aries, and you'll learn that lesson well in 2014. As we reach the midpoint of a two-year eclipse series on the Aries/Libra axis, your most important relationships are morphing by leaps and bounds. Along with that, your personal identity is getting a shake-up, as you radically revamp the face you show the world. Not that you're ever in hiding, Aries, but you may find yourself thrust into the spotlight, especially at the October 8 Aries total lunar eclipse. The lesson of these eclipses? You're learning how to be a solo star (of sold-out stadium proportions), as well as a gracious team player. Yes, Aries, you can play Best Supporting Actor, too. Choosing trustworthy collaborators is essential, since stern Saturn will be in Scorpio, your house of joint ventures and intimate ties, until December 23. Speaking of intimacy, some Aries will get a visit from the stork this year, thanks to bountiful Jupiter visiting Cancer, your home and family sign, until July 16. A long-distance move or change of living situation could be in the cards, too. Mid-July, Jupiter will start an adventurous 13-month spin through fellow fire sign Leo, your fifth house of creativity and romance. A passionate year is in store, with your heart valiantly leading the charge.
Love & Relationships:
Steamy Mars spends an extra-long time in Libra, your relationship sign, heating up your love life. Coupled Rams may bicker more, but you sexy chemistry could sizzle. Single Aries may feel the pressure to meet someone special—or you could be motivated to make this the year that you meet your twin flame. On April 15, a total lunar eclipse in Libra could leave an indelible stamp on your most important partnerships, perhaps bringing a proposal, a vow renewal or in some-cases, a parting of ways. With abundant Jupiter in the most fertile houses of your chart, baby fever could strike in 2014. A long-distance love affair could spark in the second half of the year, especially mid-August until early September. Just make sure true intimacy and trust are there, too. Stern Saturn in your eighth house of soul mates won't let you cut corners this year. Some relationships could even be tested, as Saturn wants to ensure they're structurally sound enough to go the distance.

Career & Money:
Going up: Aries! The year starts with five planets, including a new moon, in your zone of success. Your resolutions will take place on the penthouse level, thankyouverymuch. In April, you could feel torn between work and your personal life, especially at the April 23 challenging Grand Cross. The silver lining of feeling like everyone wants a piece of you? You'll be forced to prioritize, bottom-lining the most essential uses of your time and resources. Saturn in your shared resources house helps you plan for the long-term, perhaps with an investment or real estate transaction this year. Plan your acceptance speech for the October 8 Aries total lunar eclipse, when the spotlight shines on you.

General 2014 Overview:
Oh, how the mighty Bull has…changed? It's true, Taurus. In 2014, you'll round out a two-year series of transformational eclipses on the Taurus/Scorpio axis, which has been shape-shifting your reality since late 2012. Your personal identity, your attitude and your closest relationships have all undergone a makeover, and your life may only resemble faint shades of what it was a couple years ago. The April 28 Taurus solar eclipse gives you one last push to reinvent yourself, and an October 23 Scorpio solar eclipse brings a new approach to partnership. (Fortunately, this year's eclipses are only partial ones, so they'll be milder than the ones in 2013.) Meantime, expansive Jupiter is in your friendship and communication house until July 16, bringing a new cast of characters into your life. Can these people go the distance? There's no skipping that loyalty litmus test now. Sober Saturn is in Scorpio, your relationship sign, until December 23, demanding that you bring home only the best to mama. Taking great care of yourself is also key in 2014. Energizer Mars is in your health until July 25, ramping up stress levels and blowing the whistle on bad habits. Mars motivates you to start a much-needed health kick, or to declutter your life of stuff, obligations and anything that makes you feel drained instead of revitalized.

Are you in or are you out? Since October 2012, serious Saturn has been plodding through Scorpio, your relationship sign. Taurus already tends to be all-or-nothing about love, putting your love interests in one of two camps: casual booty call or altar-bound life partner. Saturn remains in this commitment-focused part of your chart until December 23. Coupled Bulls can grow closer by tackling life's duties as a team. Oh, and don't forget to pencil in those date nights if you actually want them to happen, since workhorse Saturn can be a romantic buzzkill. Same goes for singles: If you want to meet "the One," you've got to take concrete steps—no cutting corners of half-baked efforts allowed. Action, not talk, will get you to wedded bliss (or whatever you ultimately want). The October 23 Scorpio solar eclipse brings a fresh start, and even a prospective new love out of the blue.
Talk ain't cheap when it comes to your money! With lucky Jupiter in your communication house until July 16, a brainchild could yield a bonanza. Don't dismiss your novel ideas as flights of fancy. Speaking of novels, this is a stellar year for writing, so go ahead and pen that magnum opus, memoir or opinion essay. Not exactly the literary lioness type? Jupiter gives you the gift of gab, making this a great time for sales, teaching, public speaking or even taking a class. Fascinating new people could bubble up as potential collaborators, but proceed with caution. With discriminating Saturn in your partnership house until December 23, make sure anyone on Team Taurus has the experience, connection and cash flow to be an equal contributor. Mere synergy isn't enough—you need someone who's as invested as you are.

Did we miss something as we watched Congress in its last few days of the 112th Congress pass legislation to solve the so-called fiscal cliff? I don't think so. What we saw was the administration via the vice president and Congress just kick the can—or should I say cans—down the road some more.
We have heard what The American Taxpayer Relief Act isn't and what it is. It is a bill that raises $620 billion more in revenue over the next decade and trims only $15 billion in spending. Along with that, 125 million workers will have a new tax increase of 2% in their withholding for Social Security, with the expiration of the payroll tax holiday after two years. The effects of that 2% have yet to be felt in the economy, but will be felt in everyone's household income immediately.
I have heard the deal called a "debacle" for the Republican Party, but in all reality it is a debacle for both parties moving forward. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell in an op-ed piece for Yahoo News wrote, "Was it a great deal? No. As I said, taxes shouldn't be going up at all. Just as importantly, the transcendent issue of our time, the spiraling debt, remains completely unaddressed. Yet now that the president has gotten his long-sought tax hike on the 'rich,' we can finally turn squarely toward the real problem, which is spending."
The media spin would have you believe there is a fight going on inside the House Republican leadership, with their own members and with the Senate Republicans. That may be true, particularly over spending cuts or lack thereof! But the passage of the Bush-era tax cuts, reforms to the tax rates on estates and investment income, a fix to the alternative minimum tax and extension of the bonus depreciation provisions for another year are all good legislative steps for businesses, particularly dealers. These new provisions, passed and signed into law, have been major legislative issues of NAEDA. We have been supporting these provisions the last few years and they are now codified in law.
Can more be done? Sure. Should more be done? Yes. We believe more is needed, but has only the low-hanging fruit been picked? Tougher issues and decisions are going to have to be made in the 113th Congress.
Entitlement programs, such as Social Security and Medicare and federal spending for defense, farm programs, energy, education, etc., are all going to be discussed in the next round of budget discussions. Just remember that the sequester cuts (about $110 billion in automatic spending cuts) were delayed for two months with the passage of this bill. Half of the delay will be offset by discretionary cuts, split between defense and non-defense. The other half will be offset by revenue raised by the voluntary transfer of traditional IRAs to Roth IRAs, taxing retirement savings when they are moved over.
I believe Sen. McConnell in his op-ed piece summarized pretty well the next discussions that are likely to take place in Congress. He said, "While most Washington Democrats may want to deny it, the truth is the only thing we can do to solve the nation's fiscal problem is to tackle government spending head on—and particularly, spending on health care programs, which appears to take off like a fighter jet on every chart available that details current trends in federal spending.
"The president may not want to have a fight about government spending over the next few months, but it's the fight he is going to have, because it's a debate the country needs. For the sake of our future, the president must show up to this debate early and convince his party to do something that neither he nor they have been willing to do until now. Over the next two months, they need to deliver the same kind of bipartisan resolution to the spending problem we have now achieved on revenue—before the 11th hour.
"When it comes to spending, the time has come to rise above the special interest groups that dominate the liberal wing of the Democratic Party in Washington and to act, without drama or delay. The president likes to say that most Americans support tax hikes on the rich. What he conveniently leaves out is that even more Americans support tax cuts. That's the debate the American people really want. It's a debate Republicans are ready to have. And it's the debate that starts today, whether the president wants it or not."

Music videos can be quite odd. But, they usually make sense when you include the music. But, what happens when you take the music out?
Of course, the singer's voice is left. Also, the random noises that are featured in some videos are included.

Scripting with Windows PowerShell
Updated: August 4, 2014
Applies To: Windows PowerShell 2.0, Windows PowerShell 3.0, Windows PowerShell 4.0, Windows PowerShell 5.0
Windows PowerShell® is a task-based command-line shell and scripting language designed especially for system administration. Built on the .NET Framework, Windows PowerShell helps IT professionals and power users control and automate the administration of the Windows operating system and applications that run on Windows.
Windows PowerShell commands, called cmdlets, let you manage the computers from the command line. Windows PowerShell providers let you access data stores, such as the registry and certificate store, as easily as you access the file system. In addition, Windows PowerShell has a rich expression parser and a fully developed scripting language.
Windows PowerShell includes the following features:
Cmdlets for performing common system administration tasks, such as managing the registry, services, processes, and event logs, and using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).
A task-based scripting language and support for existing scripts and command-line tools.
Consistent design. Because cmdlets and system data stores use common syntax and naming conventions, data can be shared easily and the output from one cmdlet can be used as the input to another cmdlet without reformatting or manipulation.
Simplified, command-based navigation of the operating system, which lets users navigate the registry and other data stores by using the same techniques that they use to navigate the file system.
Powerful object manipulation capabilities. Objects can be directly manipulated or sent to other tools or databases.
Extensible interface. Independent software vendors and enterprise developers can build custom tools and utilities to administer their software.

Russell Simmons tried to be funny with his 'harriet tubman Sex Tape'.
harriet tubman was truly a great character and her life is an interesting chapter in the history of this country.
Greatest of all the heroines of anti-slavery was harriet tubman.
She married again, so that she is sometimes referred to as harriet tubman Davis.
Of such mould was harriet tubman, philanthropist and patriot, bravest and noblest of all the heroines of freedom.
harriet tubman was one of the most energetic of these slave conductors and brought away several thousand slaves.

In Waterloo, Dan Kaercher tours a spot devoted to the history of wrestling, and learns this favorite Iowa sport actually dates back to ancient times.
In Waterloo, I tour a spot devoted to the history of wrestling and learned this favorite sport actually dates back to ancient times. Dan Kaercher.
Kyle Klingman: Kyle Klingman. Glad you are here.
Dan Kaercher: Happy to be here. I sure didn't expect to see Abraham Lincoln on the wall right away when I walked in the door. What is that about?
Kyle Klingman: Well, this is a depiction of Abraham Lincoln wrestling Jack Armstrong in 1831 in New Salem, Illinois. And this match, this is a wrestling match that took place between these two. Between what is called the Clary's Grove boys. This is what Jack Armstrong was a part of and then Abraham Lincoln of course he would be come our president. Probably our most prominent figure in the United States. A lot of people don't know what happened in the match. But the thing that we know is that Abraham Lincoln grew in confidence from this match win or loss and it helped him become who he was and helped him become President of the United States.
Dan Kaercher: Well Kyle, I am probably not as well versed in wrestling as I would like to be. So, I am looking forward to learning a lot today.
Kyle Klingman: Well, we're excited to have you here. This is a museum about history but we also want to make sure that we build the future. That is why we have a lot with the Dan Gable Teaching Center. So, we want that future to become our history and we are going to show you why that is going to happen.
Dan Kaercher: Lead the way! Wrestling dates back to ancient times. So, Kyle starts us off where it all began. Well, Kyle it looks like wrestling roots go back a lot farther than just the early days in Iowa.
Kyle Klingman: This is the part that really excites me about our museum is the history because wrestling is the oldest sport. And when you think about it when you look at the ancient style of thinking and what you would do it just makes sense that you would engage someone else in a combat form. Wrestling was going to happen. It was an incidental sport that you were going to have wrestling and it just makes sense that it would be the oldest sport known to man.
Dan Kaercher: Now, I don't need a map to tell me that Greece is a long way from Iowa. So, why did Iowa embrace this ancient sport? There is one man credited with sparking the wrestling fire here, Frank Gotch.
Kyle Klingman: Frank Gotch, who was from Humboldt, Iowa was an early day professional wrestler. People loved Frank Gotch in the state of Iowa. He was that person where people wanted to be like Frank Gotch, and he really kind of started this trend worldwide about how great wrestling was. And Frank Gotch is really the reason that we got good in wrestling and why it got so prominent. And it really is the reason why we have the great tradition that we have.
Dan Kaercher: For some wrestling brings to mind high flying acrobatics and crazy stunts. For these folks there is the George Tragos and Lou Thesz wing of the museum. When we think of pro wrestling it is a lot more theatrical and showbiz. But that really has nothing to do with the other stuff going on here at the museum?
Kyle Klingman: It doesn't but it is important to show the evolution because there is a split. College wrestling stayed its course as the legitimate sporting contest. Professional wrestling went to the entertainment side. But we recognize that split and it is an important part of our history.
Dan Kaercher: Now when I was a kid two of the big pro stars on black and white television every week were Dick the Bruiser and Vern Gagne. Do you have anything relating to them?
Kyle Klingman: Vern Gagne is a great historical figure not only for college wrestling but professional wrestling as well. He was part of the AWA and is a two time NCAA Champion for the University of Minnesota.
Dan Kaercher: Minus the theatrics, Iowa High School Wrestling has a rich history and the museum celebrates the accomplishments of theses school boy superstars.
Kyle Klingman: West Waterloo is really important to the history of wrestling because there have been eight individuals win NCAA titles. Bob Siddens was the head wrestling coach there, won 11 state titles during his tenure, and probably the greatest high school wrestling coach that this country has had. And behind you, here this is something I like a lot, this is the actual scale that a lot of the legends would weigh in on. This is the one that Dan Gable would have weighed in on and a lot of the NCAA Champions, All-Americans that came through West High. This is fun to be able to have this and people will come in and weigh themselves and it is just a neat thing to have. The gold standard in the state of Iowa is to become a four time state champion and you can go through, you can see the history of who has been state champions. And this is special to me because this is what is called the barn. There has been an evolution of where the state tournament has been held. It has been held at the West Gym in Cedar Falls. It has been held at the Cattle Congress Grounds and McElroy Auditorium in Waterloo. But this is probably what a lot of people remember. It is Vets Auditorium. It would get packed and as you see here, there were a lot of people just on the mat side and if you tried walking through here it was just complete mayhem. Eight mats in this really gives a great picture of what it looked like to wrestle in the barn.
Dan Kaercher: And that place is packed.
Kyle Klingman: Oh, it was packed and the Wells Fargo Arena is where it is now in Des Moines. This is a pretty special place for wrestling.
Dan Kaercher: It looks like it is not just about the wrestlers. It is about the fans in Iowa too.
Kyle Klingman: Oh, it is about the fans because with these small towns, when they have people competing at the state tournament, it is like a ghost town because everyone wants to go to the state tournament. So, I think it is so cool that it is recognized as the state tournament and when you win a state title in Iowa, you become a legend.
Dan Kaercher: Many of these young men went on to wrestling success in collegiate and international competition. The gold standard of these Iowa Champions is Dan Gable. This wrestling icon is showcased in several exhibits celebrating his legendary career as a wrestler and coach.
Kyle Klingman: Dan Gable is the quintessential figure. I have been working around this sport for a long time. I am still blow away by the statistics. What Dan Gable has been able to accomplish in this sport. This Gable Era picture right here explains a lot; 355-21-5 dual meet record over 21 years, 15 NCAA team titles, 152 All-Americans and two that blow me away 98-1 dual meet record in Carver Hawkeye Arena, Big Ten Champions 106. The rest of the Big Ten combined has a 104. And when you think about the greatest athlete and coach combination, I don't know how it gets better than Dan Gable.
Dan Kaercher: And Dan Gable it is not just about wrestling and winning. He inspires people.
Kyle Klingman: He does and that is what is amazing about Dan Gable is that he has never stopped. He retired as the head coach at the University of Iowa in 1997. He is still the biggest sports figure that we have in college wresting, international wrestling for our country, he just keeps going, and he just raises the bar higher and higher and he is never going to stop. We love the passion of Dan Gable. He exudes it and we want that for wresting. We want it for the state.
Dan Kaercher: Eventually we made our way to the Dan Gable Teaching Center to get some hands on experience. I was ready to compliment my historical perspective with some real wrestling moves. My teacher this day would be Mark Schwab. Mark is a four-time champion and current Associate Head Coach at the University of Northern Iowa.
Mark Schwab: Maybe outside -. Getting in maybe I am going to keep working on that. Head inside. Head outside. Arm drags. Head snaps. I mean there is a lot of things I can do to simulate real wrestling just with this Adam Dummy off the wall.
Dan Kaercher: Hey, would you mind if I tried the take down -? Now what would you like me to just try first?
Mark Schwab: How about a head outside shot?
Dan Kaercher: Which would be?
Mark Schwab: Head outside his legs - coming down.
Dan Kaercher: Ok. I will just tie into it. I might not be ready for my first match yet, but that National Wrestling Hall of Fame Dan Gable Museum has something for everyone wanting to learn about wrestling and its enduring impact.

Directed by J.R. Sullivan
They meet on a barren patch of earth, in the ghostly glow of an autumn moon. The jaded James Tyrone is on the edge of despair; the fiercely passionate Josie Hogan is lonely beyond endurance. But on this night, under this moon, hope sparks between them. In Eugene O'Neill's bittersweet elegy, two wounded hearts experience the power of redemption—and the saving grace of love.

WTB - Hoyt Medalist Cam 1.6
I have a Hoyt Medalist bow, 48 inch axel to axel, with a 34 inch draw. I need to reduce this down to a 28 inch draw. Does anyone have a 1.6 inch cam for this bow. I can have the cable and string made for it. But if you have the AIM String, 57.5 inch, and the AIM cable, 49.0 inch, I would like to purchase them as well.

Haupt named interim director of USC Press
Jonathan Haupt has been named interim director of USC Press, effective June 1. Haupt will fill the position held by Curtis Clark, who has accepted a position as director of the University of Alabama Press, effective May 31.
Haupt joined USC Press in 2004 as marketing manager and was promoted to assistant director for sales and marketing in 2008.
He has enhanced the visibility and financial viability of the press and successfully shepherded the promotional campaigns for Walter Edgar's "The South Carolina Encyclopedia," U.S. Senator Fritz Hollings' "Making Government Work," USC First Lady Patricia Moore-Pastides' "Greek Revival: Cooking for Life," and hundreds more USC Press publications.
"Vigilant, innovative, and with a keen eye for what sells and what is intellectually important, Jonathan Haupt will help the press remain competitive and ensure that it continues to publish relevant and distinguished scholarship. His appointment bodes very well indeed for this time of transition," said Mark Smith, Carolina Distinguished Professor of History.
Since joining USC Press as director in 2002, Clark increased the press's publications from 40 books a year to 75, weathered the economic downturn and dramatic shifts in publishing, and brought stability to USC Press's staff and finances.
"Curtis Clark guided USC Press on a steady upward trajectory during a time of shifting markets and budget stringency," historian and USC vice provost Lacy Ford said. "He left the press in a much stronger and more respected position than he found it."
A national search for a permanent director for USC Press will get under way in the fall.
Established in 1944, USC Press is one of the oldest and most respected publishing houses in the South. As the largest publisher and only university press in the state, USC Press publishes scholarly research and publications that advance knowledge and understanding of South Carolina's natural and cultural heritage.

Justin Bieber shuts down rumors of rift with manager
Listen to Justin Bieber on iHeartRadio
Justin Bieber and his manager Scooter Braun are still close, despite rumors of a rift in their friendship. Over the weekend, reports surfaced on RadarOnline.com that Braun wanted Bieber to head to rehab because of his partying lifestyle.
However, a source close to the Biebs and his manager tells EOnline.com that "all is good with them." Bieber also seemed to make an effort to silence those rumors with a video on his Instagram account.
The short clip shows the Biebs and Braun slowly running towards each other as someone sings Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You." The pair then embrace and the clip ends with Braun and Bieber lip-syncing to Houston's song.

FHA Streamline Loan Requirements
FHA Streamline loans can help homeowners lower month to month home loan payments and interest
rates. But what do you need to qualify for an FHA Streamline loan? To begin, you need an existing FHA mortgage-if
you do not have an FHA loan but wish to refinance, your alternatives include conventional refinancing or applying
for an FHA refinancing loan.
For those that do have an FHA property loan, the other requirements for FHA Streamline consist
* Being present on the current mortgage with all home loan payments made on time for that
final yr.
* You must personal own the house for at least six months just before you are able to qualify
for refinancing.
* To refinance you will have to have an FHA-approved financial institution. Should you
don�t want to use your present loan provider, any financial institution you make a decision on need to be FHA
* FHA Streamline loans don't need an appraisal, but a no-appraisal loan cannot exceed your current loan.
* Closing expenses should be compensated up front or organized for by suggests of a "no-cost�
FHA Streamline mortgage. You may well properly perhaps also pick to contain the closing expenses into your mortgage
a "with appraisal� FHA Streamline loan. In these cases you ought to have to have enough equity within the home to
cover the extra quantity.
There is another Streamline item created for those that desire a refinancing plan to assist them
modify or enhance the house. This really is referred to as an FHA Streamline 203(k) Loan. The 203(k) is comparable
to ordinary Streamline loans with a few exceptions.
* The 203(k) has a minimal of $5,000. The maximum mortgage amount is $35,000. This amount is
extra for your mortgage for weatherizing your home, removing lead paint and really a handful of other home
enhancements that don�t involve main alterations of the property.
* You may well quite possibly be needed to produce use of a minimal of 1 contractor to
complete the repair perform. Self-help renovations are not authorized unless the borrower can prove they've correct
* When choosing a contractor, FHA guidelines state you must get an estimate that is broken
down into specifics regarding the expenses of each venture. Contractors want to signal an agreement to complete all
of the operate incorporated within the estimate for that quantity and inside the time specified.
* You genuinely need to obtain all permits needed by law.
You'll find restrictions on 203(k) Streamline refinancing loans. You can't use the 203(k) loan to

options. If your property improvement perform exceeds $15,000 the FHA requires you to have a third-party inspection
appropriate after the task is completed.
You're permitted to create two payments to each contractor. Truly ought to you do the get the job done yourself as
being a competent builder, the exact same rule applies.
When borrowing under the FHA Streamline 203(k) plan you must "close out� the loan when the do the
job is total. According to FHA.gov, you may possibly perhaps be required to furnish "mortgagor�s acknowledgement of
satisfactory completion�€�mortgagee�s inspection report(s), alter orders, mortgagee accounting from the escrow money,

Breastfeeding and small breasts
My husband and I have been discussing that we would like to breastfeed our children until they're 2 years old. I think it's sweet that he's with me on this but I'm concerned that I won't produce as much milk.
I have small breasts that I know would still get bigger when I get pregnant. However, it's bothering me and I need some assurance that we can do the 2 years without difficulty.
Is there a way to ensure that I get to constantly produce milk for breastfeeding even though I have small breasts?
Thanks in advance for your advise.

Size has absolutely nothing to do with the ability to breastfeed!
No matter what the size or shape of your breasts…the ability to produce breast milk lies in breast tissue. Women with large breasts often have the same amount of breast tissue "milk producing cells" as smaller breasted women.
Even the flattest chested women can breastfeed. Also, remember that a woman's breasts will mature and grow during pregnancy…you only know your true bra size after having your first baby.
Overall women with smaller breasts usually find latching on and positioning a lot easier than women with large breasts.
The only thing that may make a difference is that a small breasted woman may have a lower storage capacity, which means that she may need to breastfeed more often than a large breasted mother. Breastfeeding on demand will be especially important as to make sure that baby is drinking enough during the day.
Relax and know that you will be able to breastfeed just fine and that YOUR body knows exactly what to do when it comes to pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, sunnymumof5! I do want to rely on breastfeeding when it's my turn to have babies and I'm doing all the research I can get my hands on this subject. Aside from it is way cheaper than formula, I've heard it helps in strengthening the bond between mother and child. I'm excited to become a mum myself so I could put all this research into practice.

Messing Around With Ruby-processing, Take 5

EL SEGUNDO -- Moments after huddling up, the Lakers parted ways yelling one word.
"Championship," they yelled in near unison. | Photos: Lakers introduce D'Antoni at packed news conference | Stories: The return of 'Showtime' | Bonsignore: D'Antoni, Bryant ready to 'just win' | Painter: 'Championship' talk
It turns Mike D'Antoni has quickly latched on to the Lakers' culture.
But the Lakers will mark that process in steps.
For D'Antoni, he led his first practice as the Lakers' coach walking with crutches after having knee-replacement surgery recently. He also revealed he went through practices on pain medication.
That's why D'Antoni ruled himself out when the Lakers host the Phoenix Suns on Friday at Staples Center, prolonging Bernie Bickerstaff's tenure as interim head coach at least to another game.
Barring further setbacks, D'Antoni said he "probably" will make his Lakers' head coaching debut Sunday against the Houston Rockets.
D'Antoni outlined a clear vision on how he wants these current Lakers to pursue their 17th NBA championship.
"We hope to be able to play 'Showtime'-type basketball," said D'Antoni at his introductory press conference at the Lakers' practice facility in El Segundo.
No, these current Lakers won't exactly run D'Antoni's dubbed "seven seconds or less offense." Not when the team's starting lineup averages 32.6 years in age. But D'Antoni envisions an offense where no players will feel inhibited, they'll find easier baskets and they'll have fun doing so.
That's why he spent his first practice going over pick-and-roll sequences and emphasizing one message.
"Score," Lakers center Dwight Howard said. "He said we should be scoring 110 points per game. We have to find ways to score. The biggest thing for us is getting stops on the defensive end. That's going to be key especially in the playoffs."
But first things first.
The Lakers may have more adjustments beyond D'Antoni leading practice with crutches. D'Antoni's brother, Dan, joined the team's coaching staff and ran drills. But Mike kept open the possibility he'd retain at least some of the Lakers' assistants, including Bernie Bickerstaff, Darvin Ham, Chuck Person, Eddie Jordan and player development coach Phil Handy.
There's also personnel issues.
Injuries kept guards Steve Nash (fractured left leg) and Steve Blake (lower abdominal strain) out of practice. Center Dwight Howard revealed he feels 75-80% of his full capabilities after having back surgery seven months ago. Forward Jordan Hill practiced, though he'll have to monitor nursing a sprained right wrist earlier this week.
D'Antoni also conceded he doesn't know yet the ideal minutes he will play Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol and Nash.
That's why D'Antoni wants to keep his offense simple.
"I don't want to put too much on them," he said. "We have to win games by our energy level and playing until we get this sorted out."
But if his arrival at the Lakers' facility at 6:30 a.m Thursday meant anything, D'Antoni means business.
"We're built to win this year," he said. "This is not a project. We have a window and we'll try to get through it."

Louis Tomlinson & Zayn Malik caught smoking pot in video
Listen to One Direction on iHeartRadio
Britain's Daily Mail is smoking out new controversy involving members of the boy band One Direction.
A leaked video supposedly shows group members Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik smoking a joint in the backseat of a van. Louis, who is apparently filming the video, is heard identifying the drug at the beginning of the five-minute clip.
The video appears to have been taken back in April near the start of One Direction's latest world tour in South America. Louis supposedly narrates the video while filming the streets of Lima and passing the joint around five others in the car. Zayn appears to be the only other bandmate present.
The video also shows a policeman on a motorbike riding alongside the car, as the voice identified as Louis' jokes "He's having a look. He's thinking, 'I'm sure I can smell an illegal substance in there.'"
It's unclear how the video was leaked. Dan Wootton, a reporter for The Sun, tweeted that a rep for the band responded by saying "This matter is in the hands of our lawyers."

Court Documents Released In Sandy Hook Massacre
Court documents depict the gunman in the deadly Newtown school shooting as a loner, a gun collector, and an avid video gamer. The papers released today include the findings of FBI interviews with people about Adam Lanza, who killed 20 kids and six adults in an assault on Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut last year. They described Lanza as a "shut-in" who rarely left his home and an avid gamer who played "Call of Duty" and other games.
Lanza also had a huge cache of ammunition, knives and swords. A description of the guns and ammo seized at Lanza's home spans three pages. There were several different types of ammunition for various firearms, including pistols, rifles and shotguns.
Lanza killed himself in the school massacre. Court documents show he was dressed in military-style clothing and was wearing a bullet proof vest. He had several handguns, along with a military-style assault weapon. The documents also indicate he shot his mother in the forehead before the school attack.

Endangered Species Summit: Our Generation and Body Image
The Endangered Species Summit – an international movement focused on improving the way women around the world view and treat their bodies, in the media and beyond – took place last month. There were branches in London, Buenos Aires, Melbourne, Sao Paul and New York. I was lucky enough to be involved with the New York branch thanks to the incomparable Courtney Martin, who is a goddess (and who flawlessly planned the NYC summit). I had the daunting task of representing our generation on the Intergenerational Panel, which also included such amazing women as Jean Kilbourne, Erica Watson and Rachel Simmons. So, you know. No pressure or anything.
Needless to say, it was an incredible experience, but more than talking about my impressions, I figured I'd share …

It's a weekend for comedies – one of them intentional.
"The Heat" is a profanely funny rejiggering of the buddy-cop formula, with two female law officers – an uptight FBI agent (Sandra Bullock) and a foul-tempered Boston police detective (Melissa McCarthy) – forced to work together to find a murderous drug kingpin. Director Paul Feig ("Bridesmaids") gets maximum laughs out of his hilariously mismatched stars.
The Cricket didn't see "White House Down" (because the movie screened while he was covering the Utah Arts Festival), but his colleague Scott D. Pierce reports that the story of a D.C. cop (Channing Tatum) saving the president (Jamie Foxx) is ridiculously over the top – and not in a good way.
Only one art-house entry this week: "Dirty Wars," an atmospheric documentary that follows investigative reporter Jeremy Scahill as he looks into deadly U.S. drone strikes in the Middle East. Scahill's discoveries are disquieting, but director Richard Rowley's moody cinematography sometimes gets in the way of his own story.

Anne Hathaway & Adam Shulman: Pooch-Walking Pals
Bundling up for the chilly winter weather, Anne Hathaway and Adam Shulman took their beloved dog Esmeralda for a walk in New York City this morning (December 28).
The "Princess Diaries" dame and her doting husband both donned warm coats with hats and boots and looked very loved up during their brisk stroll.
And while "Les Miserables" has been killing it at the box office, Anne is especially critical of her performance in the musical film.
After singing "I Dreamed a Dream" 20 times, she ended up calling it quits- "I was like, 'Fair enough.' I never bettered the fourth take." When asked if she was proud of the performance, Hathaway replied, "Eh."
Enjoy the pictures of Anne Hathaway and Adam Shulman out in NYC (December 28).

Everything it promises-worth every penny
By Wendy Who?
from Weatherford, TX - west of Fort Worth
I saw this product in an Airline magazine. Having actually used cool gel packs nightly for over 12 + years I was very curious. The pricing was above my typical budget but wanted to give it a try. I absolutely LOVE that my cool packs now stay in place. Not having to 'balance' them on my forehead and temple makes this product invaluable. The quality of manufacturing is superior to what I expected. My reasoning for using cool gel packs all along was to resist taking any more pain relievers than necessary. Now my nights are much more simplified. Thanks for an excellent product.

New Pornographers working on first new album since 2010
The New Pornographers are working on something new. Singer Neko Case tells "Billboard" they're making progress on their sixth studio album, which, when released, will mark their first full-length since 2010's "Together." Case says the new stuff sounds good, and she's excited to be back with the band. Case has been spending most of her time focusing on her upcoming solo album, "The Worse Things Get, the Harder I Fight, the Harder I Fight, the More I Love You." The mouthful of a record is due out in September, and the New Pornographers' set will come out sometime after that.
Case says she doesn't have any idea what the final release date will be, which is just fine with her. She admits that it's "really freeing" to "just be an instrument" in the band rather than the person who has to make all the final decisions.

You could probably achieve this easily by splitting the USB drive into seperate partitions and treating it as an internal drive.
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to setup an USB flash memory that has several bootable Linux distributions on it. One of them will be BackTrack 4. There was no problem before BT4 used casper. But I have other distributions that use casper too. For example, I have BackTrack 4 files on the /bt4 directory on the USB, and Ubuntu 9.04 files on the /ubuntu directory on the same USB.
The only thing I have found looking up hundreds of pages is to use the kernel parameter live-media-path to indicate a directory to the files different from /casper, where files are searched for by default. But it doesn't work, or I'm doing something wrong. Has anyone been able to achieve this?
Thanks in advance
You could probably achieve this easily by splitting the USB drive into seperate partitions and treating it as an internal drive.
Titan is right. Load each distro on a separate partition. You can make these partitions with cfdisk, fdisk, or gparted. Then, when you install grub, be sure to (manually) combine each /boot/grub/menu.lst file into one so you can boot to either distro.
I would like to do the same thing. I do not want to use multiple partitions if I don't have to because I am using syslinux in FAT32 to easily create and manage the multiboot usb. I had a drive with BT3 and Mint working but I want to reorganize the file structure. The kernel boots but then can't find the BT3 directory because I moved it. A flag to specify its location would be great!
I'm working on building a similar multiboot device with the following tools:
Ultimate Boot CD
Derik's Boot & Nuke
BartPE winXP
As well as additional files / utilities:
In order to keep the drive somewhat in order the folderstructure for bootable images is:
Root (w/ syslinux, syslinux.cfg etc)
I am using syslinux as well to manage as with this many different tools a fixed partition scheme would be difficult and an unnecessary waste of time for managing. The first partition on removable drives is the only one recognized by windows boxes without making a few changes. Leaving everything in the root makes things a mess to manage and leaves things like
commonly used and conflicting.
Has anything been figured out with this since Oct? I've been googling for about 2 hours with exactly this problem; I've got dozens of tools on a single-partition USB stick, and the only one limiting me by a hardcoded directory structure is BT4. It would be great if I could make this one last tool match the organizational convention of everything else...

HL20: Joseph Kvedar, MD—'Tech'-ing Better Care of Patients
In our annual HealthLeaders 20, we profile individuals who are changing healthcare for the better. Some are longtime industry fixtures; others would clearly be considered outsiders. Some are revered; others would not win many popularity contests. All of them are playing a crucial role in making the healthcare industry better. This is the story of Joseph Kvedar, MD.
This profile was published in the December, 2012 issue of HealthLeaders magazine.
"I can't call any doctor's office customer friendly, and these technologies give consumers and patients a way to directly connect and they tend to love it."
After nearly two decades of pioneering research into connected health as a reliable model for healthcare delivery, Joseph Kvedar, MD, has won fans and won over skeptics.
Kvedar is founder and director for the Center for Connected Health, part of Boston-based Partners HealthCare System. He started the Center in 1995 on the premise that healthcare doesn't always have to be delivered in a doctor's office or a hospital. His use of home monitoring, text messaging, and the now ubiquitous smartphone, shows improvements to patient health, provider efficiency, and a hospital's bottom line. His findings are just in time for the changing reimbursement reality, and for consumer demand of quicker access to personal medical data.
A self-described early adopter and gadget lover, Kvedar says he was always interested in how technology could make him more productive. In fact, he personally uses nearly a dozen tech tools everyday to monitor his own health, from wireless activity devices to medication reminders. "I'm a living laboratory for this stuff!"

A Lynnwood man this week claimed his $216,666 prize from the June 15 drawing of the Washington Lottery Hit 5 game.
The man, who has chosen to remain anonymous, realized he had one of the three winning tickets on Sunday when he stopped at a Safeway to get dinner and check his numbers. He checked the numbers twice at the store and then went home and looked it up online, according to the Washington Lottery.
The winner chose all five numbers correctly. For this particular drawing, $650,000 was the jackpot and three people chose the correct five numbers, so the prize gets split in three.
For the past nine months, he and his fiance have been working to clear the paperwork for her and their daughter to move to the United States from Costa Rica.
The final steps required a financial commitment that they weren't able to meet, until he cashed in the lottery ticket on Monday afternoon. He plans to transfer money to his fiance's bank account before revealing the good news about his win.
He bought the winning ticket at the 7-Eleven on 196th Street SW in Lynnwood, and the store will receive a $2,166.66 selling bonus. The winner plays Washington's Lottery's Hit 5, Lotto, and Powerball games twice per week. He's previously won small amounts, but this is his first big win.

Moschino Spring 2014
Moschino's wildly theatrical runway show opened with Gloria Gaynor's enduring song "I Am What I Am" and, obviously, the iconic model Pat Cleveland frolicking in a strapless dress printed with the Italian flag and a cow from the label's fall 1985 collection.
The blissful disco moment mirrored a scene from that fabulous eighties Italian movie, "Sotto il Vestito Niente" (Nothing Underneath), directed by Carlo Vanzina, one of the first films to hone in on Milan's raging fashion scene in all its glitzy glory. The label's creative head, Rossella Jardini, returned to this era to find inspiration for the thirtieth anniversary of the playful label, which was founded by the late Franco Moschino. It was a heartfelt event, starting with the models. Icons (and old Moschino favorites) like Amalia, Violetta Sanchez, Gisele Zelany, Alek Wek, Jodie Kidd, and Erin O'Connor returned to this runway, yet again, and walked to Gaynor's song, which is full of sentiment about expressing one's personality. It echoed a time on the catwalk when models oozed charisma and personality, even while wearing a coat festooned with teddy bears (Moschino fall 1988) or made of garbage bags (garbage dress, spring 1994). The audience's "feel-good" factor (measured these days in Instagram activity) indicated that everyone liked having the sass back.
And that heartfelt spirit also filtered through into Jardini's latest offerings—quite literally—with pretty frocks stamped with hearts as well as through her tussle between the "dueling bad and good girl," as she explained before the jam-packed show. The "bad" girl was kitted out in stretchy dresses, cropped leather jackets, tiny shorts, lots of black, gold jewelry, patent caps, and hardware, whereas the "good" girl, in her very pretty prim floral dresses, Vichy prints, delightful demure organza frocks, and tailored jackets, had a spot-on contemporary spirit, proving the good girl can sometimes get ahead. The uplifting finale was full of models dressed in an homage to Franco's work (including Gloria Gaynor herself, who put in a triumphant performance) that looked very, very good indeed.

By BJB

This machine is a great little tool and I am very pleased with my purchase. It is easy to use, has a good instruction manual, and fulfills my needs perfectly. I wanted it for copying CDs in order to have duplicates for my car as well as home, and to make customized CDs... allowing me to omit songs on the CD that I don't particularly care for. I highly recommend this product.

By Halmoni

I've been making dvd copies of grandchildren's sporting events for 5 years now, and have always used a computer to make the copies. The first time my hard drive crashed, I bought another computer. This time, I found and purchased this stand-alone copier - and I love it! Upon receipt of this copier, I took it out of the box, plugged it into an electrical outlet, and made copies immediately. Wow.
Great purchase

This unusal DVD-CD one step converter is so easy to use and makes copies just like the original. Love how simple to make copies in six minutes or less.

Finally! A Device that Delivers!
By Rock-n-Roll Singer
from St. Louis, MO
Finally a device that delivers what it advertises!This duplicator does just that DUPLICATES! These days most computers force you to create cd's in iTunes or something similar. Well, when you go that route, you first have to 'Rip' the cd or songs to be copied. Then you create the new cd's and push 'Burn'. Then they decide how much time goes between cuts on the cd. I hated this because my personal cd recordings have songs that run together without the 'gap' between songs. The Duplicator duplicates your cd's EXACTLY THE WAY THEY ARE! I was extremely pleased with this result. So, once you have your perfect master, this device will duplicate perfectly!
Easy As 1. 2. 3.
By Belagio123
from Las Vegas, NV
This device is great for mass production! I needed to make many copies of a homemade VHS video (that I had already converted to a DVD) and in this one session alone, I saved a lot of time. Over a small period of time it will pay for itself many times over! It was easy to use and quick to make copies just as described. This was well worth the purchase.

Patrick Dempsey Pulls Teen to Safety After Car Wreck
Posted Friday April 27, 2012 11:26 PM GMT
Using his on-screen instincts during a real life trauma, "Grey's Anatomy" star Patrick Dempsey came to the aid of a teen car cash victim this week.
According to reports, a young driver lost control of his Mustang, causing a nasty wreck that landed the vehicle in McDreamy's front yard.
After hearing the accident just a sort distance away, Patrick rushed to the scene with a crowbar in hand while then able to pry the boy from the car.
Luckily, after being checked out by medics, it was concluded that the accident victim only suffered a concussion. Kudos to Dempsey, he can be our doctor any day!

The merger of American Airlines and US Airways sent ripples through the travel industry Thursday, but no immediate changes in local service are expected.
John Wayne Airport officials have had no discussions with either airline about possible service or route changes, said Jenny Wedge airport spokeswoman Jenny Wedge.
American offers 12 daily departures from Orange County to Dallas-Fort Worth and Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. US Airways has seven daily departures to Phoenix from John Wayne, according to Liz Landaw, a US Airways spokeswoman.
Jan Brueckner, a UCI economist and expert on the airline industry, said the merger may be good news for Orange County travelers.
He said there is little likelihood American will reduce service at the airport because John Wayne limits the number of daily commercial flights, and the airline's jets already are flying full.
"As an American frequent flier, I can almost never get an upgrade out of Orange County," he said. "Having more American opportunities out of this county would be great."
Brueckner said there may be changes in US Airways' service to Phoenix, which used to be the hub for America West before those airlines merged in 2005. Phoenix also is US Airways' current headquarters.
The airlines said they would retain all of their hubs, and Landaw said there were no immediate plans for any changes in service at either carrier.
American previously reduced service in Southern California as the airline tried to cut costs.
Struggling to compete against low-cost carriers such as Southwest, American eliminated all of its Bay Area flights from Orange County in November 2009. American withdrew from Burbank Airport last February. The airline left Long Beach Airport in April 2006.
