Carmelo Anthony Returning to Knicks
After testing free agency, Carmelo Anthony has decided to resign with the Knicks.
"In the end, I am a New York Knick at heart. I am looking forward to continuing my career in Orange & Blue and to work with Phil Jackson, a champion who builds championship teams," Anthony said in a statement on his website.
Anthony considered several offers from other teams, most notably the Los Angeles Lakers and Chicago Bulls. The 30 year old star said he owed it to himself and his family to explore all his options.
"Through it all, my heart never wavered," Anthony said.
The Knicks acquired Anthony in 2011 in a trade with the Denver Nuggets. It was a deal that brought the Brooklyn native home to New York.
"This organization has supported me and in return, I want to stay and build here with this city and my team," Anthony said.
Anthony is reportedly taking less than the maximum 5 year, $129 million contract in order to give the Knicks some salary cap flexibility.

Is Rihanna's New 'Do Hot Or Not?
I knew it had been way too long since she last changed it up. Check Rihanna out, or should I say, check it out—the new mop-top, completely shaved sides, mohawk-esque 'do. If you ask me, there's only one person right now who pulls off the whole shaved half-head trend and it's this lady, above. It just works—the avant-garde fashion, the shades, the what-the-eff-you-looking-at-beyotch look. Love everything. Especially, when we are all inundated with perfectly turned out stars with their perfect-mussed-up beach curls and perfect Rachel Zoe-styled red carpet clothes. She's real. (And, speaking of, how great would the hair look paired with some super frothy, ethereal dress—a very yin and yang juxtaposition.) What say you?

- Sorry, this product cannot be purchased.
Showing 1–12 of 24 results
Specially made for us in Sweden from the same texsolv used to make all non-metal heddles for floor looms, these one-eye Mirrix heddles come in a roll of 100. They are strong (they should last as long as you and your loom do), easy to use and are good at almost any sett on the loom because they are thin. For bead weaving past 18 dents per inch we recommend making your own thinner heddles. These are the only pre-made heddles you can buy that work on the Mirrix Loom if you choose not to make your own.
Note: Yes, they are reusable and very long-lasting!
Choose any loom size. Available in 8, 10, 12,14, 16, 18, 20 or 22 Dents Per Inch.
Available in 12, 14, 16, 18 or 20 Dents Per Inch.
Need a 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 dent coil? Each of these can be used every-other-dent, so you can use the 20 DPI spring every other dent for 10 DPI.
The No Warp-Ends Kit eliminates the need to weave-in warp ends when bead weaving. It can only be used without the shedding device. It is perfect for using with any kind of warp material including wire. Set up with the No Warp-Ends Kit is very easy and once you have it in place, you can weave as many pieces as you want (as long as they are the same size) using the same set up. Read more here.
This kit allows you to put on a shorter warp. In so doing you will reduce warp waste. Because it also eliminates having a layer of warp on both the front and back of the loom, it allows you to better position your hand for weaving wider pieces with the traditional method of bead weaving. It is also great for those of you who weave tapestry from the back and want to have a better view of the front of your piece from the back of the loom.
The package includes an extra warping bar, Texsolv cord and special pegs to attach the Texsolv cord to the warping bars. You don't have to warp your Mirrix this way for weaving beads, but it's a nice alternative and adds yet another dimension to ways you can use the Mirrix loom to fit your special weaving needs.
3 yards of Texsolv cord for the 8" - 22" Looms 5 yards of Texsolv cord for the 28" - 38" Looms
An extra shedding device for your Mirrix Loom for those of you who didn't buy one originally (For an 8" or 12" loom) or for those who want a second shedding device for your larger loom. Adding a second shedding device to your Mirrix will allow you to use techniques in your tapestry weaving such as twill weave, basket weave and tabby weave. These fancy and fun techniques will take your tapestry weaving to the next level.
You will receive the shedding device, a set of clips (if you need them), a handle, and an Allen wrench.
The Mirrix loom extenders are ideal for people who want to weave belts, guitar straps and longer, thin pieces without having to purchase one of the large looms. Included are two lengths of threaded rod, a coupling device to attach it to the threaded rod side bars of the loom, and feet extenders to give your loom its original stability.
There are two sizes of loom extenders. One size is for the 12 and 16 inch looms and gives an additional two feet of weaving length. The other size is for the 22 inch loom and gives an additional 20 inches of weaving length (this is because more length would make the loom unstable).
Clip this add-on beam to the back of the bottom beam of your loom with the included C-Clamps and you increase the distance between the front and back warps by an inch and a half, providing a total of two and a half inches of space between the two layers of warp. This is perfect for those who weave wide bead pieces using the traditional method because you can easily get your hand behind the warp to hold the beads in place. It also works for tapestry weavers who want more space between the front and back warps.
*Note: The bottom beam does not increase the size of the shed, only the space between the two layers of warp.

Dear Friends:
Here in New Haven, we are proud of our �firsts.� We are the birthplace of pizza, the hamburger, even Frisbee. But last week we made national headlines for a �first� that has the ability to truly transform the futures of children in school districts across America: our constructive and collaborative teacher evaluation model.
Last Thursday, New York Times columnist Nick Kristof referred to our teacher evaluation system as �enormous progress� and called New Haven �ground zero for school reform in America.� New Haven�s ability to build a comprehensive and transformative School Change and teacher evaluation model in collaboration with our teachers union broke new ground in the national school reform effort. Kristof�s column proved prescient when late Thursday New York City broke through a contentious stalemate with its teachers union by adopting portions of our teacher evaluation model.
While it is gratifying to see New Haven School Change recognized on a national stage, it is even more gratifying to see the success of our teacher evaluation model played out in classrooms throughout the district. Last year, 34 teachers, some tenured, exited the district after our evaluation system identified that they were not adequately serving our students. Even more importantly, teachers throughout the district picked up their game. When given constructive feedback and support, teachers made dramatic improvements.
Change cannot happen overnight and we still have challenges ahead, but I am confident that through New Haven School Change we are improving the lives of our students. And as more districts turn to our effort as a template for constructive, collaborative reform, New Haven School Change now has the opportunity to transform educational opportunities for students nationwide. If you haven�t seen first hand the transformations taking place in the New Haven Public Schools, I encourage you to visit a school and see for yourself.
Other New Haven Firsts
There are too many New Haven Firsts to name, but here are a few good ones:
� First Sulfur Matches (1835)
� First Medical Diploma (1729)
� First College Football Game (1872)
� First Formal Basketball Game (1895)
� First Rubber Boots (1843)
� First Automatic Revolver (1836)
� First Telephone Book (1878)
� First Spring Tape Measure (1868)
� First Hamburger (1900)
� First Lollipop (1892)
� First Frisbee (1920)
� First Pizza (1900)
� First Live College Mascot, Handsome Dan (1889)
� First Newborn Intensive Care Unit (1960)
Secure Communities Operational on Wednesday
We learned last week that the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency will implement their so-called Secure Communities program in Connecticut this Wednesday. Make no mistake, this misguided and mishandled program will not make New Haven or Connecticut more secure, nor will it help build a healthy community.
Yesterday, I joined Police Chief Dean Esserman, Yale Law School students, members of the Board of Aldermen, state representatives, and dozens of immigration advocates in calling on the federal government to delay implementation of this un-American program until it can address major concerns identified in its own program review. I have also called on Governor Malloy to distinguish between serious offenders and low-level offenders in honoring detainers issued through this problematic program.
Secure Communities is a federal program that compels local law enforcement agencies to assist in the detention and deportation of undocumented immigrants. In practice elsewhere, this program has not distinguished between non-violent, largely law-abiding immigrants and those involved in the violent and illegal activities that have historically been priorities for immigration officials.
This program is counterproductive to the relationships our police department has attempted to establish within immigrant communities, and essentially invalidates our police order that limits police questioning regarding immigration status during routine law enforcement.
New Haven Resident Job Fair
I am proud to announce that we prescreened 250 New Haven residents for participation in the New Haven Resident Job Fair to take place this Thursday, February 23. Over two dozen employers have agreed to participate in the event. We have had good success at previous job fairs in connecting New Haven residents to employment opportunities, and I am confident that this event will yield similarly positive results. Check out this great story by Bill Kaempffer of the New Haven Register featuring success stories from the October Re-Entry Job Fair.
Electronics Recycling Collection
The City will be hosting an electronics recycling collection event on Sunday, February 26 in collaboration with CitySeed and the Westville Renaissance Alliance. From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., you can bring any recyclable electronics to the Edgewood Park Farmer�s Market at the corner of Whalley Avenue and West Rock Avenue. Accepted materials include televisions, monitors, computers, printers, fax machines, scanners, keyboards, keyboard mice, power cords, VCRs, DVD players, DVRs, cable receivers, PDAs, portable digital music players, cell phones, telephones, and calculators. Light bulbs and batteries will not be accepted at this event.
Flamenco Festival New Haven
Speaking of firsts, the first ever Flamenco Festival New Haven will be held this week and next week at 57 Olive Street. While most of the events require admission tickets, there will be free community dance classes for beginners and a film screening. The festival will feature master dance classes and performances from flamenco singers and dancers, a Persian singer, an Indian gypsy dancer, an oud player, and other artists. For more information, check out this flyer.
Note: Last week I announced I would be hosting two community budget meetings on February 22 and February 28. Those meetings have been postponed. New dates will be announced soon.

U.S. stocks closed lower, Mondy, but pared early losses after Federal Reserve officials made dovish comments following last week's statement by chairman Ben Bernanke regarding the wind down of the Fed's monetary stimulus.
Stocks on Wall Street had dropped sharply at the open, with the Dow Industrials falling nearly 250 points following a massive selloff in China triggered by hawkish statements from the country's central bank and downgraded expectations of the country's growth by investment powerhouse Goldman Sachs.
Lots Of Fed Talk
Stocks started to pare losses as the session continued after Minneapolis Fed President Narayana Kocherlakota suggested that although there is talk of a cut in QE, there are no hardened plans to do so. Also, New York Fed President William Dudley said that Fed policy, while aggressive by historical standards, is not sufficiently accommodative.
In economic news, the Dallas Fed index of manufacturing activity jumped to 6.5 from -10.5 in May, much better than the expected 0.0 in June. This helped confirm market expectation that an improved economic environment will encourage the Fed to pare back QE.
Europe And Asia
In Europe, stocks ended lower, falling in sympathy with the Asian markets. The three major bourses all suffered double digit losses. The sell-off came on the heels of statement published in China's newspapers claiming the central bank in China will continue to keep monetary policy restrictive. Since most statements in Chinese newspapers must be approved by the government, the news was taken as coming directly from the central bank.
In commodities, the metals ended sharply lower while oil reversed from earlier gains to close in positive territory. Gold ended down 1.2%. Copper shed 2.29%, and platinum 2.95%; both metals traded around three-year lows Monday.

Several US politicians who had backed a pair of controversial anti-piracy bills have apparently changed their minds following a well-publicised online protest.
Yesterday, sites including Wikipedia shut down for the day to publicise the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA).
Wikipedia said 162 million people saw its page asking users to find out about the proposed legislation and contact their representatives about it. Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales said via Twitter that compares to about 25 to 30 million visitors on a normal day.
"SOPA and PIPA are not dead: they are waiting in the shadows," Wikipedia said in a statement on the site. "What's happened in the last 24 hours, though, is extraordinary."
Indeed, over the past day, several US politicians have apparently changed their stance on the proposed laws - including some who had originally sponsored the bills.
Senators Roy Blunt, Chuck Grassley, Orrin Hatch, John Boozman and Marco Rubio withdrew support for PIPA, with Rubio saying over Facebook: "Instead, we should take more time to address the concerns raised by all sides, and come up with new legislation that addresses internet piracy while protecting free and open access to the internet."
Congressmen Patrick McHenry, Lee, Terry and Ben Quayle have also reportedly changed sides on SOPA, saying they support an alternative, re-written version of the law.
Quayle, who co-sponsored the bill, said dealing with piracy was still important. "However, Representative Quayle believes that as the bill currently stands, it could have unintended consequences that need to be addressed before moving forward and these concerns led him to withdraw his name as a co-sponsor," his spokesman told a US newspaper.
PIPA will face a Senate vote next week, while SOPA will be back in front of Congress next month.

Hi everyone,
More used to development work than marketing so I'm looking for some friendly advice. I have a site that offers free business profiles to small business owners. Members can connect w/each other, private message, upload youTube vids, pics, and more to their 'page'.
On short notice I could implement a system that allows members to accumulate points for various activities like referring friends, logging in daily, participating in a poll, etc. I can then give privileges to members who accrue set amount of points like being able to write articles or place a banner for free.
I can also allow them to place a limited size AdSense ad on their profile and enable a reciprocal link exchange but here's the problem.... I don't know how to keep people interested and willing to regularly participate in promoting their 'profile'.
I realize some of the above features I mentioned would help but I almost want to have a system for regularly pulling people in before I do those things. I have about 1300 members and can get them to sign in with a mass email of some cannibalized promotional message but no real knowledge of getting something substantial going.
Just looking for a brainstorming session if anyone would like to chime in. Thanks for any input.
which attitude are you referring to? I don't see anywhere where I haven't been helpful to you? I've given you valid advice that you continue to ignore and you haven't given me one reason why you're not following it, so I asked a couple of closed questions that may be the reason why you can't follow my advice.
I don't want to go too far back to basics, but what you experience is a gap between management perception of what the customer needs/wants and the customer expectation of the service provided. The only person to help you overcome this gap is your customer. And if you don't know how to ask your customer so that you gain valuable insight*, you need to consult the services of a marketing research company.
Marketing is about two-way communication, between you and your customers, not one-way as you do with the type of email newsletters you've already sent around.
So, I ask you once again, why can't you ask your existing customers?
I can't help but feeling this thread is going in circles.I can therefore not see it going anywhere.
I think it's pretty obvious that I'm not ignoring your advice. BTW.. I don't have 'customers' I have members with free accounts. They range from car dealers to the flaky chick from San Francisco selling 'dream catchers'.
Unless they want to pay for premium advertising the services are all free.
Then ask suggestions first, pick the best ones, and create a poll for that later?I really think creating a poll just for your options is kind of narrow. If you only suggest adding features A,B and C, but all members are "screaming" for option X, they're plain out of luck.
Hi ScallioXTX... I'm kind of in favor of giving them options because I can offer up things that I know I can add relatively easily AND give them the impression they are making the decision. Kind of like giving a child the option between a candy bar or a lollipop rather than asking them 'what they want' in a candy store with hundreds of things to choose from... ya know?
I'm also nervous about spending half my life creating specialized features for a small number of people, there are only 1300 members.
I have a lot of things that I could add to the site but I also believe that all the features available now are not even close to being utilized. This is what I've been trying to convey.
I have given you my input, which you continue to refuse, so I'm still left wondering why? I'm a professional marketing person, I basically make a living from giving such advice, advice I've given you for free here, and you yourself have admitted that you don't know much about marketing, so I'm just stunned as how you can totally ignore my advice, even trying to attack me for giving you this advice and then wondering why you don't even consider implementing it?
Actually, I'm not that much surprised. I've seen this a couple of times with technology companies. They think they know what their customers want, then built it (that's the management perception/customer expectation gap I mentioned above, really typical for technology companies). If their customers don't buy it, they think it's either because of price (they don't value it enough/costs are too high), customers don't know about it (they then think it's marketings job to tell them), or they need to improve upon their product but are limited by their own abilities to do so, so they focus on that rather than on what the customer actually wants/needs - see that, it's a downward spiral, investing or better wasting money/time into something that makes no difference to the customer only to be left wondering "why" again.
Once again, I can't tell you what your current and potential customers want/need - you've got to ask them - that's marketing.
Please, by all means, if you want to make this successful, hire somebody that actually knows marketing and give them the power to change something - I know you're reluctant with both things. However, if you want to continue as you've done so far, by all means do it and I put you on my ignore list and unsubscribe from this thread.
The "problem" with a poll is that people can only vote for an addition you suggested. In my opinion it would be better to give them a plain text field so they can type whatever they wish added to the website. Might give you a lot more work to read through all the suggestions, but you might just end up with some great ideas you hadn't thought of yourself.Or combine the both; a poll with an "other ..." option where people can give their own opinion.
Perhaps it's just a cultural divide but the condescending tone is simply not necessary. I've been a member of this site for 9 years and I have 210 posts so it should be evident that I don't make a habit of coming on here with erroneous questions looking for attention.
I understand there are a lot of people who come on here and ask how they can get a million hits a month or make a million dollars a year but I'm not one of them. Maybe when I ask a question you can give me the benefit of the doubt? I ask questions to help provoke (my) thought?
I have no interest in arguing with you and I'm certainly not mad. I value your input if you still want to give it.
Hi c2uk, thanks for responding. When I made the site I installed the ability to join groups and have discussions, connect w/others, etc so I perhaps naively believed that once people became members they would utilize those and the other features available to them. The thought was that members would take the reigns and add content, communicate, and tie their profiles in with their blogs, facebook, twitter, squidoo accounts, etc and the site would grow from within.
It seems that once someone creates a profile they stop by once in a while and futz with their logo or add a link but generally don't do much else. In essence, they don't even utilize all the tools available to them so I think maybe they are suffering from the same thing as me.... making their 'site' then not being aware how to really drum up traffic to get people to view/use the site.
I'm thinking that allowing people to actively participate in adding content to the site and not just their profiles and having a way to get other members (including me) to appropriately promote the content with twitter, facebook, etc just to get something going?
I'm not opposed to getting feedback from members but I want to be careful of what I post on an open forum so I'm weighing my words. I'll just have to ask you to read between the lines on that.
I do however have some decent, generic templates that I edit and use for newsletters and there IS communication between staff (me and one other person) and the members.
In my original post I wrote about adding a points system where members could earn points through various activities on the site and get privileges for set amount of pts like writing for the site or getting ad space for certain periods of time, allow them to add google adsense, etc.
I've sent out newsletters encouraging members to promote their 'profile URL' in email signatures, social networking sites, link directories, among other things.
So having said that would maybe posting a poll and giving a set of options to members on what they'd most like to see/use be a good starting point? I could send out a newsletter asking people to participate in a poll and give them options to things I could add relatively quickly?
I do understand very clearly. Let's just change gears and say I have NO members and I offer all the features I described above.
sorry, you clearly don't understand what I'm saying - you shouldn't ask yourself those questions, you need to get the answers for these questions from your current members.
I have to agree with what's been said already. If your business was un-established and had no users I could totally understand you asking for advice (because you have no-one to refer too and no-one who will be affected by changes at this stage) but what you seem to have failed to comprehend is that you're asking us (people who don't use your service and have no knowledge of your specific audience) for advice on how to improve your services in preference to the actual people who use it, who will be affected by any changes you make and gave enough energy into setting up an account (so they obviously think there's potential in what you do). What you need to be doing is approaching YOUR audience and asking them what THEY want from the service they signed up for.
PS: I would be as frustrated as c2uk if you replied like that to me as well. Making statements about "what if I had no users" is obsolete because the fact is you DO have users and it seems pretty apparent you're doing everything you can to avoid asking them what would make them be more inclined to use your tools more often. ASK your members (those thousands of people who signed up for your service you talked about), not yourself, and not people who don't use what your offering.
you've got 1300 members already, why not ask them? that's what marketing is about, finding out about their needs, and the benefits they're seeking. but this isn't possible without some knowledge, i.e. market research, and for that you ask the people, i.e. your target audience, themselves.
I really don't think the attitude is necessary is it? I think what I'm asking is very legitimate. <snip/>
you do have members, and not asking them would be stupid.
if you don't have members, then you'd have to first describe me your target audience much better than "small businesses" - and don't forget to include their needs and the benefits they're seeking in this description.
Normally, people who start a venture like this, either know a lot about their target audience, i.e. their needs and the benefits they're seeking plus a couple of demographic/psychographic attributes, because they are practically themselves part of that group, or use market research to learn a lot about them - and since you've already got members, that's where market research would start - and if you don't know anything about market research, then you consult someone who knows about this (hint, I know a lot about market research).
you said you didn't have a clue about marketing but you don't take the advice from somebody who got a clue - mind you I've got a marketing degree and relevant experience.
So really, what's your problem? Are you afraid of asking them? Don't you know how to ask them? Or are those 1300 members you said you have just imaginary or little kids?
I've already asked myself all of those questions, that's why I'm HERE looking for some answers.
As I said, you need to ask your members what else you can do to benefit them. Start getting them involved and that you care about their needs. You can create a discussion topic and send out an email to all those members, asking them to join in.
If you're not going this route, then you should ask yourself what's the point of this site for those members and why should they spend their valuable time on it in the first place? This is about:
value = benefits/cost
also, why should they spent any time there as opposed to LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter? Which is about:
opportunity costs
what you have developed is very generic and sounds basically just another LinkedIn. So, you need to develop your competitive advantage - if you can't think of this yourself, then by all means ask those that are already member of your site.

However this review is effectively judging the M5 by the wrong standards. It's like saying the Porsche 911 GT3 is rubbish because the Ariel Atom gives you more feel, more excitement, more connection to the road. But try driving an Ariel Atom to the office in the rain!
The M5 to me - is the best possible saloon car I would want to drive on public roads. And nothing comes close. You give me an example and I will tell you why it isn't as good.
Panamera - too quiet, lacks excitement, instrumentation is not good enough for driving at the limit (e.g. no shift indicators in HUD), steering wheel is too thin and not conducive to control.
CLS63 AMG - balance is not quite perfect. Doesn't corner as well. Also doesn't have good instrumentation. Transmission is too slow.
M3 - not particularly luxurious, jumpy over expansion joints, not fast enough.
E63 AMG - Ugly, and same issues as CLS63 AMG
S6 - AWD unable to deliver the same driving excitement. Where's the power sliding?
Cadillac CTS-V - haven't driven it and I have no intention of doing so. Its a smaller car and it looks like ****.
So having ruled out the sedan competition, you are left with sports cars. Well that's comparing apples and oranges isn't it?
maz quatro, cadillac cts-v, e63 AMG, pana (again, looks? this is why bmw is losing this battle. the e39 was not attractive, nor was the e60)
lots of worthy competitors. guess it speaks to complacency, or more likely companies picking up the slack and filling the niche. but again, this is the first time i have heard an M car being trashed for under-enthusiasm. maybe it was "gas guzzler" or "too raw" or "not refined". but not this.
it's different. and an important distinction.

BREAKING NEWS: 6-Year Old Poops Pants at School [VIDEO]
We've seen some lame local news coverage, but this is up there. It's from KY3 News in Springfield Missouri – number one in the Ozarks – and they led last night's evening news with a story about a 6 year old who pooped her pants.
She's a kindergartner in Washburn Missouri, and the school wouldn't let her go to the bathroom during a test. Yes, she's in kindergarten, and they were taking a test. So the girl took care of business, and went anyway.
And since it's not embarrassing enough to poop your pants at school when you're six, how about having your parents contact the local news about it?
The girl's mother is named Lisa Skidmore (we're not making this up) and she says the school made her daughter wait in class for 15 minutes until the test was over, THEN called her to come deal with the mess.
It took 20 minutes for her to get to the school, and in the meantime, the school wrapped a trash bag around her daughter.
Skidmore said, "She still had poop, diarrhea poop, coming out the back, up her front, down her legs. You don't even treat a dog that way."
The school says they've instructed teachers to handle situations like this with more sensitivity.

Broadcast Run
|Mar. 17, 1997 - Mar. 6, 1998
|20 (List of Episodes)
Galaxy Trio is an animated science fiction television series created by Alex Toth and produced by Hanna-Barbera. It debuted on NBC on September 9, 1967. The program aired, as Birdman and the Galaxy Trio, alongside Birdman. NBC aired two new segments of Birdman each Saturday, separated by a new segment of Galaxy Trio.
Galaxy Trio appeared in reruns on Cartoon Network from 1992-2000. The series was shown from 1997-2000 on Cartoon Network's Toonami block, as well as Toonami's late night Midnight Run block, as part of Cartoon Roulette. In 2000, The series began airing on Cartoon Network's sister channel Boomerang.
Some characters from Galaxy Trio, including the three main characters, appeared in the Cartoon Network/Adult Swim animated series Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law.
The Galaxy Trio is a group of interplanetary law enforcers who battles criminals throughout the cosmos. The group consists of Vapor Man, who can change into any type of vapor; Gravity Girl, who can control gravitational forces; and Meteor Man, who can increase all or part of his body to impossible heights, gaining super strength in the process. They patrol space in their cruiser Condor One maintaining order and fighting evildoers in the name of the Galactic Patrol law enforcement agency. The ship was equipped with a "displacer" very similar to the transporter device on Star Trek, which was a contemporary show.
Vapor Man — has the ability to transform part or all of his body into gaseous form (a power shared by at least some residents of his home planet of Vaporus), enabling him to fly, escape from physical bonds, and squeeze through very small spaces, as well as producing various forms of "vapor" (such as "freeze vapor") from his hands.
Meteor Man — is a native of the planet Meteorus. Meteor Man is distinguished by his ability to increase or decrease the size of any part of his body. He gains superhuman strength in any limb that he chooses to enlarge.
Gravity Girl — has the ability to bend the laws of gravity to her will, allowing her to fly and lift very heavy objects with her mind. The daughter of the king of the planet Gravitas, she left her luxurious home and life of privilege at an early age to fight crime with the Galactic Patrol and was subsequently assigned to the Galaxy Trio team, with whom she has served ever since.
Chief — is a man referred to only as "Chief", he is a recurring character in Galaxy Trio. He fulfills a similar role to that of Falcon 7 in Birdman.

Sometimes, just as I am falling asleep my body will jerk or twitch and cause me to wake up. I know other people who have experienced this as well. What causes this? Is it some sort of muscle spasm?
This is common, and is not a signal of any disease process. It is called Sleep Myoclonus and rarely is so disruptive that it needs evaluation or treatment. The cause is not clearly understood, but reaching the state of deep relaxation tends to cause more sensitivity to a stimulus, causing the jerk.

text: Hey guyz, I'm sure this will get locked, or deleted, but I figure it's worth a try seeing as how for some reason, I cannot post on the classifieds every time I tried to sign up, I never received my verification number (for all those who know what I am talking about)...anyways...here goes I live on Long Island, and I currently own a 1995 V6, Black 5spd Mustang w/ approx. 76,xxx miles on it. The car is in great shape. The engine runs extremely strong, and the interior is immaculate. No stains, rips, tears...nothing. The paint is still shiny. The are some "crows feet" forming on the hood, and roof. There is also a surface rust spot about the size of a quarter on the roof. I am attributing all of this to harsh winter conditions and salt. However, I bought the car w/ those there. Overall, the car is in great shape, and I hate to see it go. I am asking $6,000. BUT NO REASONABLE OFFER W/ BE REFUSED.

After lying dormant for two years, it has been ressurrected, has gained some new developers and is at a stage of a working MUSH. The website will be updated accordingly soon. For the moment details can be found at http://blackcarr.org/poemud/ and the development MUD at telnet://blackcarr.org:4000.
Welcome to developers Alex Dudas and Paul Hodges! I'm really excited about having you both onboard now. Perhaps with a bit of organization we can identify some specific tasks and really start digging in. Onward!
The main PoeMud website has moved to SourceForge now with minor changes. The site needs a bit of an upgrade and newer documentation to bring it up to date, but most of it has been moved now. Next month I'll probably close out the e-groups and tripod accounts and keep everything consolidated here.
As of our latest version update on the PoeMud Driver, the driver is now cross-platform compatible and has been tested on both a Windows NT machine and HP-UX. As further development occurs we will try to maintain that compatibility.
SourceForge has become the main site for PoeMud's Web presence. Most of the files and documentation have now been moved to the new location at: http://poemud.sourceforge.net/
I finally got the CVS repository working. It certainly isn't streamlined or anything, but the files are there and I'll be using the repository for all updates from here on out. Any interested developers can contact me to find out how to use the repository. Thanks.

NAACP Near Fund-Raising Goal with AT&T Campaign Leadership
$3.3 Million in Gifts and Multi-Year Commitments Received So Far in NAACP's Centennial Corporate Campaign Led by AT&T Chairman, CEO and President Randall Stephenson
New York, New York, July 16, 2009
AT&T* and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) today announced that gifts and multi-year commitments for the NAACP Centennial Corporate Campaign have reached $3.3 million. With a year remaining in the historic campaign, which is being led by AT&T Chairman, CEO and President Randall Stephenson, the NAACP is nearing its $5 million fund-raising goal.
The campaign kicked off in February to coincide with the NAACP's celebration of 100 years as an advocate for equality and social justice in the United States. To start the drive, AT&T contributed an initial leadership gift of $500,000. All contributions are used to support NAACP education initiatives, community programs and events throughout the nation.
"The NAACP stands for progress and opportunity, and that resonates with corporate donors," said Stephenson, who spoke today at the NAACP Centennial Convention in New York City. "At AT&T, we share the NAACP's passion for helping America's youth stay in school and on track for successful careers. It's our philanthropic focus as well through our AT&T Aspire program."
AT&T has been a long-time supporter of the NAACP. Over the past 25 years, AT&T has provided more than $11 million in grants and contributions to support similar NAACP initiatives. Additionally, William T. Ellinghaus, one of AT&T's past presidents, served as the chair of the NAACP's first corporate campaign in 1979.
"We appreciate the support AT&T has given us throughout the years and during this historic campaign," said Benjamin Todd Jealous, NAACP President and CEO. "We're encouraged by the results of the campaign so far and look forward to surpassing our $5 million goal."

BMI's Gainor on 'Fox and Friends': Why Won't Media Ask Tough Questions About Stimulus?
Business & Media Institute's Dan Gainor appeared on "Fox & Friends," Jan. 12 to discuss why, with trillions of dollars, millions of jobs, and the future of our economic system on the line, the mainstream media won't ask Obama tough questions on his stimulus plan.
Given the media favoritism for Barack Obama during the campaign, Gainor said, "So, it's no surprise that they're not asking him tough questions [about the stimulus package]."
"Fox & Friends" co-host Steve Doocy specifically asked Gainor about Obama's expanding promise to create 4 million new jobs.
"We don't know exactly how it's going to happen," Doocy said. "We've got a lot of pie in the sky right now. Just not many details and people aren't asking for details."
"Well, and even worse they've bounced all over the map whether they're going to save or create jobs," Gainor said.
"Jake Tapper called Obama on this. ABC's Jake Tapper did this last week, and he did a good job because he pointed out that Obama's plan called for 20 percent government employees and 600-- basically worked out to 600,000 new federal jobs. But by the time Saturday rolled around Obama's plan was calling for 10 percent federal employment at the max, but he was calling something for 4 million jobs which meant like 190,000 jobs for the federal government just disappeared in a puff of smoke. Nobody's calling him on that."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/1/2012 (2009 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
GATINEAU, Que. -- The battle lines were established early in the NHL's all-star weekend.
From the moment Zdeno Chara won the right to pick first in Thursday's NHL all-star fantasy draft, it was clear what strategy he and rival captain Daniel Alfredsson were employing to select their respective teams.
Alfredsson played to the home crowd by taking all three of his fellow Ottawa Senators along with every other Swedish player in the game. Chara targetted members of the Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs -- drawing boos after several picks from the surprisingly boisterous gathering -- and painted himself in the role of villain as a result.
"It's funny the way it's set up and probably neat that way, that the one team will probably be cheered a little more than the other," said Jason Spezza, selected in the second round by Alfredsson. "You probably don't get that all the time in an all-star game. It's unique that you can get everybody on one team and have some of the rivalries that are there."
Alfredsson's team will be considered the favourite in Sunday's game at Scotiabank Place and not just because they'll have the unwavering support of a sellout crowd. He drafted the league's last two Art Trophy winners -- Daniel and Henrik Sedin of the Vancouver Canucks -- along with current league scoring leader Steven Stamkos and young stars Claude Giroux and John Tavares.
After winning a puck flip to secure the No. 1 pick, Chara selected Detroit forward Pavel Datsyuk and then turned to Bruins teammate Tim Thomas in goal. He rescued Bruins forward Tyler Seguin with the 35th selection. Alfredsson chose Senators defenceman Erik Karlsson second and Spezza fourth overall. He took Ottawa forward Milan Michalek with the 24th pick.
"It kind of played itself perfect," said Alfredsson. "Nothing was planned that way. We both kind of felt each other out."
The last man standing was San Jose sophomore forward Logan Couture, a former star with the OHL's Ottawa 67's, who had earlier tweeted: "Is it me or is it getting hotter back here after every pick?"
Couture went to Team Alfredsson by default as the 38th player taken.
"It's awesome to be here," he said, seeing the glass half-full.
Couture got a Honda Accord Crosstour for his troubles. The NHL and NHL Player's Association also donated $10,000 each to a charity of his choice.
It came down to a final four of Seguin, Buffalo's Jason Pominville, Dallas' Jamie Benn, and Couture. And then there were two: Benn and Couture.
Chara elected to go with Benn because of the lengths the Dallas Stars forward had gone to get to the game. He had his appendix removed two weeks ago.

Date of Defense 2012-05-18 Availability unrestricted AbstractReal–time reservoir management is developed to manage a shrinking labor force and rising demand on energy supply. This dissertation seeks good strategies for real–time reservoir management. First, two simulator–independent optimization algorithms are investigated: ensemble–based optimization (EnOpt) and bound optimization by quadratic approximation (BOBYQA). Multiscale regularization is applied to both to find appropriate frequencies for well control adjustment. Second, two gathered EnKF methods are proposed to save computational cost and reduce sampling error: gathered EnKF with a fixed gather size and adaptively gathered EnKF. Finally, oil price uncertainty is forecasted and quantified with three price forecasting models: conventional forecasting, bootstrap forecasting and sequential Gaussian simulation forecasting. The relative effect of oil price and its volatility on the optimization strategies are investigated.
A number of key findings of this dissertation are: (a) if multiscale regularization is not used, EnOpt converges to a higher net present value (NPV) than BOBYQA—even though BOBYQA uses second order Hessian information whereas EnOpt uses first order gradients. BOBYQA performs comparably only if multiscale regularization is used. Multiscale regularization results in a higher optimized NPV with simpler well control strategies and converges in fewer iterations; (b) gathering observations not only reduces the sampling errors but also saves significant amount of computational cost. In addition, adaptively gathered EnKF is superior to gathered EnKF with a fixed gather size when the prior ensemble mean is not near the truth; (c) it is shown that a good oil price forecasting model can improve NPV by more than four percent, and (d) instability in oil prices also causes fluctuation in optimized well controls.

Gary Coleman's Ex-Wife Cashing In With Hospital Photos, Video Death Tour
Shannon Price might claim to be broke, but that's likely to change soon.
The ex-wife of recently deceased actor Gary Coleman, who is asking the public for donations for Coleman's funeral, is reportedly raking in the bucks by exploiting his death, according to multiple sources.
Radar Online reports that Price is asking big bucks for media interviews since the Diff'rent Strokes star's death in late May—up to $50,000—and is even offering video tours of the house the two shared, and where Coleman had the fall that eventually led to his death. For a fee, of course.
Ghoulish? Well yeah, sure; but that might pale in comparison to another report.
According to TMZ, Price has negotiated a deal with an unnamed tabloid to publish four photos of Coleman's final moments, including a shot of Price posing next to a bedridden, tube-riddled Coleman. (An additional photo, said to be taken after Coleman's death, was not part of the deal. Maybe she's holding out for more money?)
The photos are expected to hit newsstands as early as this week.
As long as she's putting her ex-husband to rest, Price might as well bury any remaining shred of dignity she might have had along with him.

Our goal is to create a dynamic, fun, internationally-focused environment where we can learn about our world together. The Global Gateways Program began in Fall 2013, bringing together twenty-eight female students from the USA and various other countries to live together in the Global Gateways House, also referred to as House 9 of Greek Village.
Apply to Global Gateways Now!
Details about the program are provided below. Please contact the Office of International Programs at email@example.com or 704.687.7755 if you have any questions about Global Gateways.
We are eager to answer your questions and hope you apply to join us!
Live. Learn. Be Global
How to Apply
We are thrilled that you are interested in participating in the Global Gateways program! To apply to the program, you must complete the Global Gateways online application and the Housing and Residence Life application. Selected community members will be notified of their acceptance and room assignment.
Global Gateways Program Objective & Goals
The Global Gateways Program is a residential-based programming model designed to increase students' self and cultural awareness with an international emphasis. The Gateways House offers a central location where students curious about different cultures, global issues, and our world can gather in a comfortable, inclusive, welcoming space.
Program participants earn points toward a Global Certificate, reflecting their commitment to strengthening their global-mindedness and cultural competence. Students do not receive academic credit for participation in the program. However, the program includes intellectually stimulating events and activities.
Global Gateways offers a complimentary co-curricular experience that enhances any academic discipline area. Gateways residents will participate in organized social and educational experiences to increase intercultural competence and global awareness. Types of programs include international cuisine cooking lessons, country-specific mini lectures/presentations, foreign film screenings, faculty fireside chats, volunteer options with the Charlotte international community, and more!
Through participation in the Global Gateways Program, students will:
- Understand more about self as a cultural being
- Strengthen one's intercultural competence
- Engage with the UNC Charlotte and the city of Charlotte international community
- Practice conscientiously interacting within an intercultural environment
Residential Housing Facility: The Global Gateways House
(all-female, single room, independent house)
Rooms in the Global Gateways house are private rooms with full-size beds (slightly larger than a twin). Residents will either have a shared bathroom (with one other female) or a private bathroom. Each house has a large living/common room, kitchen for common use, on-site laundry, and a common outdoor space. More information, including floor plan images, is available on the Housing and Residence Life website.
Global Gateways Housing Costs
The per-semester individual cost for the Global Gateways program may be found on the Housing and Residence Life website: http://housing.uncc.edu/apply/rates
UNC Charlotte female students and international female exchange students are eligible to apply.
Priority assignment is given to upper-class (e.g., sophomore year and above) students.
First-year students are able to submit applications with assignment pending space availability. Note: First year students enrolled in the International Enrichment Seminar course receive assignment preference. View the seminar webpage for details about the International Enrichment Seminar (UCOL 1200).
Students of all academic majors are encouraged to participate.
The hope is to offer housing to 7 international and 7 US domestic students to establish a culturally vibrant community.
Community Responsibility & Cultural Engagement Opportunities
All residents are leaders within the Gateways community. Residents are expected to be involved with the program and active in the aesthetic upkeep of the house. Community space upkeep includes shared responsibility of the public kitchen space, including cleaning one's own dishes/pots after use and participating in a rotation schedule for weekly kitchen cleaning with a housemate. Details on the kitchen policy will be reviewed during the first house meeting after you arrive. Each person is encouraged to contribute her talents to making the environment a culturally-enriching experience.
In addition to attending the building programs, residents are invited to assist with various
Cultural Engagement Opportunities to create an exciting and dynamic global environment. Ideas regarding programs include, but are not limited to, the following.
- International social engagement (e.g., international cuisine nights, women's tea dialogue, karaoke, international games, etc.)
- International academic engagement (e.g., foreign film nights, international speakers/panels, faculty dinners, etc.)
- Internationally-related community service (e.g., refugee tutoring program, conversation hour w/ internationals, women's shelter, etc.)
Gateways Staff
In addition to the undergraduate student Resident Assistant who lives in the Global Gateways House, there are several staff members dedicated to making your experience a memorable one. In the Office of International Programs (OIP), the OIP Director of Global Education and Engagement oversees the program and receives support from the OIP graduate assistant. Furthermore, the at-large staff team within OIP and Housing and Residence Life are committed to the program's success.
Housing Scholarship for International Students
All F-1 and J-1 visa-holding international students who apply to the Global Gateways program may apply for a Housing Scholarship of $400/semester. The Housing Scholarship is not guaranteed and is need-based (meaning that you should not be receiving a housing stipend from another institution and/or can prove a specific need). There will only be 7 housing scholarships given out per semester. Awards will be made on a first-come, first serve basis. If interested please e-mail the Global Gateways program with your name, e-mail address and information describing your interest and need for the housing scholarship at firstname.lastname@example.com.

I have been trying to more closely monitor my network in order to better
get VPN and traffic shaping under control. I found the bandwidth monitor
built in to M0n0 to be a little lacking for this purpose.
As it turns out, the feature on the M0n0 menu called SNMP can be used to
send info to a remote server to monitor bandwidth.
I am sure that many of you already know this stuff, but it was new to
me. I have not played around with SNMP prior to today.
First, this is assuming you already have a working Debian machine that
is running Apache.
You need to set up a program called MRTG on your Debian machine. You can
do this by issuing the command "apt-get install mrtg"
Next, configure your M0n0wall under the SNMP menu.
- Enable SNMP
- Enter your Debian system's IP address in "system location"
- Enter your email address as the system contact
- Leave community as "Public"
Then, you need to configure MRTG
- Issue the command - "cfgmaker --output=/etc/mrtg.cfg xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
(x's being ip address of M0n0wall) at the Debian prompt.
Next, issue the command "mrtg".
Now point your web browser to "http://debiansystem/mrtg" and find the
appropriate html file.
Happy monitoring!

The fellowless women of the 1900s are here exposed to your attention, so special in their unbeholden inner riot, the sexuality of their gazes. They dared to cross the line and thus they are here so gorgeous in their proud beauty. As one can see these photos differ from the ones of the past years: there are different shades of photographic images – the brownish, the yellowish, the pinkish colours, and sometimes we can even see certain elements of blue. Thus, we can say that the techniques of taking pictures were improving. And as the years of experience piled up it was easier to express all the detail's of a human body therefore the style was changing and with time more and more liberties as for female images appeared. The characters were changing as strange details were appearing and less and less alike with pictual art.
A plum retro-lady laying on the couch with her back show. Her look as terrifically languid and the whole posture is so vivid with that little headdress underlining the oval of her face and the shoes on her feet. There is something very Oriental in the whole atmosphere of the picture – the first signs of the new photo type.

Like his father before him, U.S. Senator Herman Talmadge has ruled Georgia by Negro-baiting campaigns and the one-party "county unit" primary. The two sources of power support each other, for the county unit system can let one Negro-hating woolhat in a rural county outvote 154 Atlanta moderates. But the South is changing, as nobody knows better than tough-minded Herman Talmadge. He has toned down his racism, noted carefully that the unfair unit system has come perilously close to defeat in four test cases that went to the Supreme Court. Last week Talmadge hinted to Atlanta TV listeners that, rather than...

Black Widow, NSA Spying Computer
Poster Handle
Post Content
link to www.70news.com
The NSA's colossal Cray supercomputer, code-named the 'Black Widow,' scans millions of domestic and international phone calls and e-mails every hour. . . . The Black Widow, performing hundreds of trillions of calculations per second, searches through and reassembles key words and patterns, across many languages.'
Barack Obama will be in charge of the biggest domestic and international spying operation in history. Its prime engine is the National Security Agency (NSA)—located and guarded at Fort Meade, Maryland, about 10 miles northeast of Washington, D.C. A brief glimpse of its ever-expanding capacity was provided on October 26 by The Baltimore Sun's national security correspondent, David Wood: "The NSA's colossal Cray supercomputer, code-named the 'Black Widow,' scans millions of domestic and international phone calls and e-mails every hour. . . . The Black Widow, performing hundreds of trillions of calculations per second, searches through and reassembles key words and patterns, across many languages."
In July, George W. Bush signed into law the FISA Amendments Act of 2008, which gives the NSA even more power to look for patterns that suggest terrorism links in Americans' telephone and Internet communications.
The ACLU immediately filed a lawsuit on free speech and privacy grounds. The new Bush law provides farcical judicial supervision over the NSA and other government trackers and databasers. Although Senator Barack Obama voted for this law, dig this from the ACLU: "The government [is now permitted] to conduct intrusive surveillance without ever telling a court who it intends to spy on, what phone lines and e-mail addresses it intends to monitor, where its surveillance targets are located, why it's conducting the surveillance or whether it suspects any party to the communication of wrongdoing."
This gives the word "dragnet" an especially chilling new meaning.
The ACLU's Jameel Jaffer, director of its National Security Project, adds that the new statute, warming the cold hearts of the NSA, "implicates all kinds of communications that have nothing to do with terrorism or criminal activity of any kind."
Why did Obama vote for this eye-that-never-blinks? He's a bright, informed guy, but he wasn't yet the President-Elect. The cool pragmatist wanted to indicate he wasn't radically unmindful of national security—and that his previous vow to filibuster such a bill may have been a lapse in judgment. It was.
What particularly outraged civil libertarians across the political divide was that the FISA Amendments Act gave immunity to the telecommunications corporations—which, for seven years, have been a vital part of the Bush administration's secret wiretapping program—thereby dismissing the many court cases brought by citizens suing those companies for violating their individual constitutional liberties. This gives AT&T, Verizon, and the rest a hearty signal to go on pimping for the government.
That's OK with the Obama administration? Please tell us, Mr. President.
Some of us began to see how deeply and intricately the telecoms were involved in the NSA's spying when—as part of an Electronic Frontier Foundation lawsuit—it was revealed by a former AT&T technician, Mark Klein, that he had found a secret AT&T room in which the NSA was tapping into the telecom giant's fiber-optic cables. On National Public Radio on November 7, 2007, he disclosed: "It's not just AT&T's traffic going through these cables, because these cables connected AT&T's network with other networks like Sprint, Qwest [the one firm that refused to play ball with the government], Global Crossing, UUNet, etc."
