This is irritating but unsurprising...probably should have had the surgery immediately but he had to be a 'man' about it and risk further damage...i know a lot of people thought he was coming back too fast anyway
Elton Brand... *sigh*
You're right, of course. There's no way we're trading him right now, because no one's giving you anything worthwhile for a 30 year old injured forward with a brand new 6 year $80 million contract.
When you're only 6'8" tall and you're playing PF, you better be quick as hell or tough as nails. Elton's obviously not the first one and we all knew that. But is he even the second one??? At this point, it's definitely debatable. So, what the hell good is he (and how has he been averaging 20 and 10 over the past nine seasons)???????????
Yup - it's debatable
Tell you what - go separate your shoulder - then come back way too early without any surgery and try and play professional basketball...he rushed back - he shouldn't have - he skipped surgery - he shouldn't have - TO TRY AND HELP THE TEAM
I'm sure most people bagging on him now loved him when he was with the clippers and wished the sixers had a PF half as good as him since they haven't in like 20 years
So, my take on Elton is wrong then, huh John? He's gonna heal up, eventually, and prove to us all that he's either quick enough or strong enough to succeed on this team? Frankly, I hope so. We need him. We're paying him to be an enforcer in the middle... that's why he was brought here... period.
For the time being, however, you should try to see things as they are, right now. To do so, you'll have to pull your pants back up, put Elton's picture away, and stop masterbating for a few seconds. We paid him $80 million to be "a difference maker" (Elton's own words) and he hasn't come close - NOT CLOSE - to earning any of it. Perhaps you saw last nights game and noticed Reggie Evans busting his ass out there? Yeah, that's what everyone, including Elton himself (http://www.philly.com/dailynews/sports/20090129_Sixers__Brand_tries_to_shrug_off_trade-deadline_rumors.html), expected Elton to be doing when we signed him a few months ago.
"It's a little frustrating, because that's what I was brought here for, and it hasn't come to fruition yet," he said. "But we're playing pretty well and I want to continue that, whatever it takes. There's no doubt in my mind that I can get back to that level, to be a difference-maker. We know the way they played last year. We already know they can get to the first round [of the playoffs]. We're trying to get further and hopefully we can do that."
Here's notice: ELTON BRAND HAS BEEN A FAILURE SO FAR AS A PHILADELPHIA 76ER!... before, during, and after his injury. Is this harsh? Yeah, a bit. But, hey... I'm just calling it like I see it, having watched EVERY SINGLE GAME THIS SEASON!
And listen, if you think I'm wrong, you don't really care about this team. We could have signed any number of guys over the summer with the money we had avaiable. We wined and dined Josh Smith and even introduced him to the mayor, for God's sake! Is there anyone who doesn't think now (admittedly, with hindsight) that he would have been a MUCH better fit for this team??? Anyone???? How 'bout James Posey? Would this team be better with a legitimate shooter like Posey who also defends (something that none of our guards has any clue how to do, except Royal Ivey)???
Don't miss this fact: I WANT ELTON BRAND TO DO WELL BECAUSE WE JUST COMMITTED $80 MILLION TO HIM!!!
John, do me a favor and let Elton know that I appreciate the fact that he came back early "TO TRY AND HELP THE TEAM", even though they had a winning record in his absence. Perhaps when you and Elton get into bed later this evening he'll be honest with you and let you know that the motivating factor for his rapid return was actually embarassment... embarassment over the fact that the Sixers are a better team when he's wearing a three piece suit.
Bart - insults aside
My assertion has been all season that since Elton Brand hasn't even played 41 (a half a season) full speed NBA games since his original ankle surgery is that you can't expect him to be at 100% in game shape yet cause it just takes a while, not to mention a new city a new coach (two of them now) and a new kid (which probably impacts him as well) - and then he separated his shoulder - didn't take care of it in the way that he probably should have (surgery immediately) and rushed back - so my assertion is and has been that Elton Brand hasn't been 100% the Elton Brand he was before his achilles injury for a single game in philadelphia and that those ready to 'write him off' are the same bridge jumpers who were calling for Iguodalas head a month int the season when he got off to a slow start.
And as for you - I guess I'll just stop responding to you in general and hope you'll do the same
yea jasner wrote today that they might shut him down.
"We're going to look at it [today],'' Brand said, obviously disappointed and frustrated. "I was trying to help, but there was no need to bring me back [in the second half]. It's hard when you're feeling pain and you can't straighten your arm out on your shot. I have a little flip shot I've used all these years, and I can't do it. That was why I tried to wear the brace, but that didn't really help. It's just disappointing.''
Sixers coach Tony DiLeo said: "His shoulder stiffened up a little. He said he could play if we really needed him. It was a situation where we just decided to throw Marreese [Speights] in there, because [Brand's] shoulder wasn't quite loose enough.''
If he doesn't have full range of motion in his shooting shoulder, he needs the surgery.
Like you said when it happened - he should have had the surgery then...it's no big surprise that it didn't work out - they tried to circumvent the normal procedure in an attempt to try and fake it through and unsurprisingly to me it didn't work out. If they had just done this when it happened like they should have - probably be less strife and he'd already have been working on healing for about 7 weeks
Surgery then, or surgery now doesn't really make a difference. He was done for the season either way, and should be ready for next season. He gave it a shot because he wanted to get back and help this team, which you have to commend the player for. If anything, the team and the doctors should've probably been more realistic in their expectations for a speedy recovery.
Well - he'd have a 7 week head start on the recuperation - that's a plus...the sooner you have the surgery the sooner you can heal and rehab
I don't get advocating the trading of brand at all right now -
God, this guy better not break down to the point where he's untradeable.
No reason to expect he will - he's not injury prone - this was a freak injury based on a weird event in a game that he rushed back from (and probably didn't treat properly) - now he'll get the proper treatment - rehab 100% and people can start begging for him to be traded again before he even hits the court
Yeah but he never exactly looked recovered from the previous injury. And Brian, I didn't just mean this season, I meant in the years to come.
Well, in about 4 years he'll have trade value as an expiring contract no matter what happens injury-wise :)
Well, I'd say he's pretty much untradeable at the moment, with the injury. Not that he was going to be moved this season anyway.

England were hammered 43-13 by Ireland on Saturday, but Underwood told BBC Sport: "Even though they were beaten by a much better side, they are improving.
"I've definitely seen indications this year that they are at least trying to play in the right way as a team.
"And because of their draw, reaching the final four in the World Cup isn't beyond the bounds of possibility."
However, Underwood, England's record try-scorer and second-most capped player, said head coach Brian Ashton still has his work cut out.
606 DEBATE: How can England improve?
The former winger said: "Against Italy at Twickenham, England played the same way for 80 minutes even though it was obviously not working.
"If I'd been playing I would've been pretty hacked off because the wingers didn't get the ball.
"England were playing to Italy's strengths, they weren't putting the ball into space, and surely Brian could have got a message to the team that things needed shaking up."
Underwood, 42, who now runs a company advising businesses on leadership and team work, added England's players need to think more for themselves.
"I don't think they have enough of a sense of being in control out there," claimed the former RAF pilot.
"When things aren't going well, there's too much looking to the sidelines for direction. England need more people to show leadership.
"If Phil Vickery wasn't captain, who would be? You could argue the case for Jonny Wilkinson, but who are the other prime candidates?
"Martin Johnson was a great England skipper partly because he had great lieutenants such as Lawrence Dallaglio, Neil Back, Matt Dawson and Jonny around him."
One such leader is the experienced Mike Catt, who many commentators feel should replace rugby league convert Andy Farrell at centre for England's next match against France on 11 March.
Underwood added: "If Brian goes for Catt now, he's got to stick with him for the World Cup.
"But you can't blame Farrell for what happened on Saturday - the Irish had a great game."

Eka Sloki Gita
[pro-player width='300′ height='240′ type='FLV']http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vQw0mmcU64[/pro-player]
Swami Chinamayananda in his imicable style talks on the last & one of the most popular verses of the Bhagavad Gita which begins with "yatra yogeshwara krishno..". This is also called "Eka Sloki" Gita, which means the entire message of the Bhagavad Gita expressed in one Sloka …
On Hari Om
[pro-player width='300′ height='240′ type='FLV']http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBIskkMEO4o[/pro-player]
Hari Om is a beautiful mantra which can evoke the sound vibration within you. Ha is pronounced as in "hot"; ri as in "repeat".? The ha comes from the solar plexus area. When you say ri, the sound comes up. O vibrates your entire skull. The minute you say mmmm, the vibration goes up further. As the sound goes higher and higher you rise above body and mind. Hari Om is used as a term to greet, invoking the Brahman in the person greeted.

Call is out to Float a Wish
Call is out to Float a Wish
Tiny rafts will float on the Queens Gardens' duck pond this winter, in a magical night that's all about kids, creativity and community.
Float a Wish on July 3 is the opening event for Light Nelson, and Coordinator Hilary Johnstone says it gives the primary school children of the region a night to 'shine their light and share their wishes' for the Nelson community.
She says there are already several schools fired up to take part, and it's not too late for more to get on board, and for families to start thinking about making a tiny raft.
"It's all about participation, the magic of light and the beauty of this event. We want to stress that a raft can be just a decorated paper plate with a tea light candle, though some kids or schools might want to explore engineered craft and concepts like balance and floatation," she says. "The only guidelines are that materials used are to be biodegradable."
As for the wish, leave it to the kids. Hilary says by asking kids "What would make Nelson a better place?" you can get them away from wishing for something they want for themselves and into thinking of others.
"This gives kids a chance to have their ideas heard," she says. "Last year the wishes ranged from a new road for Cable Bay through to protection for sharks and a wish for a pizza and a cow for everyone."
At Float a Wish this year there will be some additional attractions to draw the crowd away from the pond and make space for others.
"This year we're going to have some more interactive stuff around the gardens such as a few performers, a school choir, musicians, the Light Nelson bike lighting up a tree with pedal power, shadow puppetry...that kind of thing," Hilary says.
The website www.floatawish.co.nz has videos of last years event and instructions on how to make a flax-based raft.
Float a Wish will be at Queens Gardens, Thursday 3rd July, launching starts at 6pm.
Light Nelson follows Float a Wish on July 11-13. It is
an outdoor gallery of art and technology installations from
over 30 artists, also in the Queens Gardens and surrounds.
Nightly 5.30-9:30pm, entry is free to both events.

Bugliari not with his wife
Bugliari not with his wifeAlyssa Milano is pregnant with her first child with her husband, Creative Artists Agency agent Dave Bugliari. The couple married in an Italian-themed wedding in New Jersey in August of 2009 after dating for close to three years.
We all watched Milano grow up on television as Samantha Micelli, Tony Danza's daughter, a little spunky brunette who went from about 10 to 19 before our very eyes on Who's the Boss. Now at 38, she is about to become a first-time mother.
Over the years, Milano has shed her good girl image for a more naughty one, replete with short marriages, plenty of tattoos, nudity, and a tough girl persona. Still, as one of the stars of the WB's Charmed, she has managed to escape the child star curse and is now moving on to even bigger roles. But who is the guy she married? Here are five things you may not know about David Bugliari:
- He is younger than Alyssa by eight years. He is 30 now, but was 25 when the two met and started dating. She was 33.
- He is from New Jersey. Like Milano, he hails from Jersey, which is why their wedding was in the same place.
- He is supportive. For Alyssa's birthday, her husband donated $907.21 to make sure his wife beat her goal of raising nearly $40,000 to fight waterborne illnesses.
- He tweets. Bugliari has regularly tweeted about his wife and her causes.
- He once supported Hillary Clinton. In 2007, reports show that he donated $250 to help Clinton win.
Congratulations to the happy couple! I have the feeling they will make awesome parents.

|Snake & Ladder
We all know one game ... Snake and Ladder ... most of us played this game in our childhood .... but very few people know the reason for making this game... what this game teach us about which is similar to our daily life........... I think 99% people never thought about what this game try to teach us or why this game was implemented. It teaches us everything itself in our childhood.
There are three different kinds of people used to play the game of life.
1. Some people (A) who only knows to win only look for final destination on board. These are people very positive in their life and this is one of the perfect examples of Positivity.
2. Some people (B) reaches final destinations with a lot of ups and downs but they fight and win the game though it takes a time. This is one of the perfect examples of Never Give Up quality of a person.
3. Some people (C) who always are afraid of playing a game or before starting for something new and they never achieve their goal. These people always have failure ratio more than success.
People who win at first always think positively in life. On the game board, they always see for ladders to reach the final destination. They always think about and build up a strategy to get a ladder to reach their goal. This positivity, thinking and faith towards their thinking helps them to win the game first. They are always on the top of anyone else in the game. The reason behind this is, they never think about an obstacle on board(snake) and they treat life in the same way and always achieve success.
People who win after so many ups and downs think about both an obstacle and a way to reach the final destination. In the game board, they always see both snakes and ladders. At the same time, they look at snake and ladder and build strategy accordingly. These people come down because of an obstacle they think about and go up because of the way they find it out to overcome the obstacle. These people reach their goal slowly with a lot of issues, failures but success is for sure in their life.
The worst scenario is about the people who always think of failure before the start of a game. These people can only see an obstacle and not a way to overcome the obstacle or just cannot find a way to reach the last destination in their life. On the game board, these people always think about what if I come in front of the snake, what if I go down. The same thinking happens to them even in their daily life. They give up before they start playing. Even in life, these people focus on the negative side of anything before working on it.
Life is like the snake and ladder game. The choice is yours, what you want and what not. If you want success then be a person as mentioned in category A and B or else you will be always considered as a person as mentioned in category C who are always prone to failures.
Stay tune to the channel of "positivity" and the best day is coming soon !! Stay blessed !!

'Gay Gene' Scientist at McCabe Lecture
When Andrew Merluzzi was looking for a renowned scientist to speak at American University, Dean Hamer was a shoo-in.
The scientist, filmmaker, and gay rights activist will be at the Bishop McCabe Lecture Series November 8, speaking about his research with sexual orientation and genetics. Out in the Silence, a documentary Hamer produced with his partner, Joe Wilson, will also be shown.
"I thought his research would have a good appeal for the community," Merluzzi, a senior in AU's College of Arts and Sciences, said. "His research is on hot topics that are controversial." Merluzzi contacted Hamer, who said he would love to come and give a talk.
Hamer's discovery of the "gay gene" started a national debate. He and his colleagues said they found an unidentified gene on the X chromosome that determines who develops the trait. Hamer's book on the discovery, The Science of Desire: The Search for the Gay Gene and the Biology of Behavior, was a New York Times Book of the Year.
"It's good scientific research that's important for people to learn about," Merluzzi said.
Hamer earned his bachelor degree from Trinity College and his doctorate from Harvard Medical School. He was the chief of gene structure and regulation at the National Institutes of Health for 34 years. There he focused on treatments for HIV and AIDS.
When not doing scientific research, Hamer works with Wilson on documentaries about ignored social issues. Their partnership, Qwaves, has produced a variety of short films, including Boy in a Dress, The Preacher & the Poet, and Thorn In Your Side.
Hamer and Wilson's documentary that will be shown following Hamer's talk, Out in the Silence, has won awards from the International Film Festivals, the Nashville Film Festival, and the South Dakota Film Festival. It tells the story of how the announcement of Wilson and Hamer's marriage in Wilson's hometown of Oil City, Pennsylvania, garners a negative reaction from the town while catching the attention of a woman with a gay teenage son. Wilson and Hamer talk with school authorities, local politicians, and traditional value activists as they try to show that all people can get along. The film also highlights how gay people struggle in rural American communities, where some people are less accepting.
Hamer and Wilson are currently working on a documentary film in Hawaii that looks at balancing traditional Pacific Islander culture with modern-day society.
The lecture will be Thursday, November 8, from 7 to 9 p.m. in the AU Museum at the Katzen Arts Center. For more information, go to the Bishop C.C. McCabe Lecture Series website.

Current Payday Law
Status: Payday Loans Are Not Acceptable In The State
Of Maryland
PaydayLoanUSAOnline.com Status:
Denies Consumers From The State Of Maryland To Apply For A Payday
Currently the state of Maryland doesn't allow the payday loan service at this time.
Some Maryland History According To Wikipedia:
In 1629, George Calvert, 1st Lord in the Irish House of Lords, fresh from his failure further north with Newfoundland's Avalon colony, applied to Charles I for a new royal charter for what was to become the Province of Maryland. Calvert's interest in creating a colony derived from his Catholicism and his desire for the creation of a haven for Catholics in the new world. In addition, he was familiar with the fortunes that had been made in tobacco in Virginia, and hoped to recoup some of the financial losses he had sustained in his earlier colonial venture in Newfoundland.
George Calvert died in April 1632, but a charter for "Maryland Colony" was granted to his son, Cæcilius Calvert, 2nd Lord Baltimore, on June 20, 1632. The new colony was named in honor of Henrietta Maria, Queen Consort of Charles I. The specific name given in the charter was phrased "Terra Mariae, anglice, Maryland". The English name was preferred over the Latin due in part to the undesired association of "Mariae" with the Spanish Jesuit Juan de Mariana. Leonard, Cecilius' younger brother, was put in charge of the expedition because Cecilius did not want to go.
To try to gain settlers, Maryland used what is known as the headright system, which originated in Jamestown. The government awarded land to people who transported colonists to Maryland.
On March 25, 1634, Lord Baltimore sent the first settlers into this area. Although most of the settlers were Protestants, Maryland soon became one of the few regions in the British Empire where Catholics held the highest positions of political authority. Maryland was also one of the key destinations of tens of thousands of British convicts. The Maryland Toleration Act of 1649 was one of the first laws that explicitly dictated religious tolerance, though toleration was limited to Trinitarian Christians.

TANF Funding Cuts Result in Less Assistance to Poor Families
Jun 04, 2012
By Elizabeth Lower-Basch and Elizabeth Kenefick
New data released by the Administration on Children and Families show some of the impacts of cuts in federal fiscal year 2011 funding for the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant, which was $4.1 billion less than the previous year - a decline of nearly 19.6 percent. The decline in funding was primarily due to Congress allowing the TANF Emergency Contingency Fund (TANF EF) to end, as well as Congress' failure to fully fund either the regular Contingency Fund or the Supplemental Grants awarded to states that were disadvantaged by the TANF block grant formula. In addition to cuts in funding, the block grant has experienced gradual erosion in its purchasing power due to inflation, which alone has reduced TANF's real value by 30 percent since the program was created in 1996. The TANF block grant provides states with funding for cash assistance and a range of other programs serving low-income children and families. All told, these cuts have serious effects for families struggling to meet their basic needs.
The new data show the hard choices states were forced to make as a result of these cuts. While state spending claimed toward the maintenance of effort (MOE) requirement increased slightly between 2010 and 2011, this was not enough to offset the deep cuts in federal funding. Moreover, as discussed in CLASP's recent testimony for the record at a House Ways and Means Committee hearing, the increase in reported MOE spending appears to largely result from states' claiming existing government and third-party expenditures, rather than from actual new spending.
When looking at the uses of combined federal TANF and state MOE funds, the data show that states made the largest percent changes in the areas where increased spending had been supported by the TANF EF: work subsidies (-53.6 percent), non-recurrent short-term benefits (-33.6 percent), and basic assistance (-10.2 percent). Spending on transportation and supportive services also declined (-10.8 percent). The largest decrease in dollars spent was in basic assistance, with over $1 billion less federal and MOE spent in 2011 than in 2010.
These cuts in spending result in cuts to vital life supports for low-income children and adults. For example, in 2011 most states froze benefit levels and six states plus the District of Columbia went so far as to cut them - leading many families to see a reduction in the benefits they receive to help cover items like rent and transportation costs. These cuts were from already low grant levels - less than half the poverty level in every state. California and Arizona shortened time limits, and other states tightened exemption or extension policies. In spite of the widespread and bipartisan support for subsidized employment programs that placed over 260,000 adults and youth in jobs between 2009 and 2010 with funding from the Emergency Fund, most states terminated their programs, while others scaled them back substantially.
These cuts are continuing in 2012. Congress provided no funding for the Supplemental Grants, which reached 17 mostly high-poverty states. Faced with a Sophie's choice between TANF cuts and delaying payments to providers of child care for low-income families, many of whom would likely have gone out of business as a result, Illinois recently reinstated a waiting period for TANF benefits. California is considering further reductions to its grant levels. With unemployment stubbornly high, these cuts are both frightening and counterproductive. Congress and state legislators both should stop trying to balance their budgets on the backs of the neediest families.

By Wendy Gragg
Killeen Daily Herald
Offices were emptied, parties were thrown, and goodbyes were said, but several Killeen school district employees have had second thoughts about retirement.
Several Killeen Independent School District administration hires were announced Tuesday, including many familiar faces.
The positions filled were the principalships for 10 schools, coordinators for two campuses and an executive deputy superintendent for Killeen Independent School District.
The principalship announcements came just before the announcement of the executive deputy superintendent, Dr. Jim Hawkins.
Hawkins is leaving his post as superintendent of DeSoto Independent School District for the KISD job. Hes not new to the district, though, having been KISDs assistant superintendent for business services from 1989 through 1997. Hawkins will rejoin KISD Aug. 11.
Six of the principals named have been rehired after retiring last year, in order to slip through the Social Security loophole. Those principals and schools are: Pat Young at Brookhaven Elementary, Lucille Husung at Cedar Valley Elementary, Jennifer Sullivan at Clifton Park Elementary, Linda Pelton at Haynes Elementary, Pat Perkison at Hay Branch Elementary and Sandra Forsythe at Smith Middle School.
A record number of KISD employees retired before July 1, so that their Social Security spousal benefits would not be slashed or cut altogether.
Rules established by the Teacher Retirement System state that when an employee retires, there can be no contract, agreement or promise of future employment, unless as a bus driver or on a half-time basis. There are some avenues retired employees may take to get back into the district, however.
A statement from KISD said that the rehired employees indicated a desire to come back, then went through the normal application process along with all other candidates.
Jennifer Sullivan is giving up half of her retirement funds next year to be able to resume her position as principal of Clifton Park Elementary School.
It means enough to me to be able to come back to Clifton Park, Sullivan said.
The only reason I retired was that Social Security thing.
Sullivan said she was never promised shed get her job back. She cleaned out her office and went on a cruise given to her by the Clifton Park staff as a retirement gift.
She even contracted to appear at certain speaking engagements next year. She said she just found out Tuesday she would be back at Clifton Park and shes thrilled. Sullivan said shes not worried about sore feelings from her staff.
Ive already had some call and say theyre glad that Im back, she said.
Some teachers arent fully behind the rehires, though.
A teacher from Smith Middle School, who wished to remain unnamed, said rehiring isnt what is best; its what is easy.
I think there were a lot of quality people who didnt have a chance at the jobs because the district felt it would be easier to rehire the people who had been there before, the teacher said.
The same teacher said there is also a feeling of having been misled by those who said they were leaving and had parties thrown and gifts given in their honor.
Why didnt they just say, Were retiring to get the Social Security benefits and well be back, rather than us thinking we would be getting all-new people, the teacher said.
Dr. Ann Farris, KISD deputy superintendent, said the shortage of administrators has been as severe as the shortage of teachers.
Its been a little like pulling teeth, she said.
After more than 1,000 hours of interviews and two rounds of principal hiring, Farris said the decision came down to hiring the best person for each job.
The top priority is quality, she said.
Other principalships announced Tuesday were Sue Cummings promotion to principal of Fowler Elementary, Sharon Millers promotion to principal of Eastern Hills Middle School and Corbett Lawlers return from retirement as principal at Rancier Middle School.
Also named were Bobbie Reeders as coordinator at Pathways Learning Center and Johnny James as coordinator at the Killeen Alternative Center.

Amherst law advanced on 'puppy mill'-pet store connection
The Town of Amherst would be one of the first communities in the state – if not the first – to adopt a local law cracking down on pet dealers and the retail sales of puppies.
In a move applauded by animal rights organizations, the Amherst Town Board on Monday directed the town's attorney to draft local legislation creating more oversight of pet dealers, in an effort to end the "puppy mill"-to-pet store connection in Amherst.
Animal advocacy groups have been pushing for tougher regulations on pet dealers, whose dogs are supplied by inhumane breeders, referred to by critics as puppy mills.
Animal rights groups say some puppy mills abuse animals by raising them in cramped cages and outdoors. Besides the mistreatment, consumers who buy the pets often end up unknowingly taking home a sick dog that soon after needs expensive care or dies.
"We took a giant first step," Amherst Council Member Mark A. Manna said Monday, "but the real fight is how strong a local law we can make."
Both Manna and Supervisor Barry A. Weinstein introduced resolutions proposing more oversight of local pet dealers, but it's unclear how stringent the town can make the law.
Weinstein acknowledged that the town doesn't have the expertise to determine which dogs are coming from a healthy and safe environment, or what pet dealers should be banned from selling puppies.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo recently signed legislation allowing municipalities to enact their own rules when regulating pet dealers and puppy mills, but those rules cannot ban sales if the animals are properly treated and raised, according to the state law.
If localities do so, they will now have the legal responsibility – not the state – to regulate and inspect dealers.
Manna three years ago tried to introduce legislation banning the retail sales of puppies in Amherst, but that was not permissible because state pre-empted that, making it difficult for any measure to stand up in court.
However, the recent state legislation – which was sponsored by State Sen. Mark Grisanti, R-Buffalo, and signed by Cuomo last month – now makes it easier for localities to regulate puppy mills and pet dealers.
A number of animal rights advocates talked about the horrible mistreatment endured by some of these animals bred in puppy mills and spoke in favor of local legislation during Monday night's Town Board meeting.
"Tonight we're back," said Jeanette Dickinson, from the New York State Citizens Against Puppy Mills. "You told us before to go to Albany, which seemed insurmountable, but we did."
The Town Attorney's Office was expected to work with advocacy groups on the new legislation, which would make Amherst a leader in the state, Dickinson said.

Keynes' grandchildren – looking for a better future with work and welfare
J M Keynes suggested in a renowned essay around 1930 that his grandchildren, thanks to increasing efficiency at work, would have solved the "production problem" of satisfying their needs with a few hours of daily work. But we, who could have been his grandchildren, continue to work as hard as ever, while our consumption has trebled in the last fifty years.
Fast growing consumption also creates global warming and other environmental hazards. Keynes' proposal of easing the burden of work has turned into a condition for ecological survival. Efficiency must be paired with a sense of sufficiency.
The book presents the transition from scarcity to an economy of abundance, now limited by ecological restraints and the outcome of this in terms of progress in society and life satisfaction. It discusses global consumption trends and drivers of consumption, in society and in people. In search of a better future, it analyses employment patterns, advocating work sharing as the ultimate means – among more conventional ones – for a sustainable future for our grandchildren.

Marketing Insurance on the Web Research Paper by JPWrite
Marketing Insurance on the Web
A study of on-line marketing by insurance companies.

This paper examines how insurance companies market themselves and their services via the internet. The paper begins with an overview of the insurance industry and how it presently markets itself and then explores how the industry presently utilizes the internet -- for marketing, rather than for commerce. It also looks at the technology requirements, privacy issues and regulatory roadblocks that currently stand in the way of full-scale Internet commerce and concludes with the author's assertion that the market will eventually bring about Internet commerce, which will radically alter the current face of insurance sales.
From the Paper:"Insurance companies are breaking into three main categories in terms of their marketing methodologies: direct companies, agent companies, and mixed companies. For direct companies, they have headquarters and branch offices. The sales staffs are salaried employees. Thus, direct companies do not have to pay the commissions as high as that of agent companies. However, the down side of the direct companies is that up keeping the sales staffs and the branch offices loads burden on their operation expenses. For agent companies, the headquarters and a few branches will be processing all business that the agents bring in. The agents may be captive agents, who sell only one insurance company's product, or free agents who sell multiple insurance products for many insurance companies. The agents receive commissions for the business they acquire, not salaries from the insurance companies. The agent insurance companies are able to expand their market shares through the agents without having to maintain many branch offices and sales staffs. However, they have to pay a larger portion of the insurance premium as commissions to the agents. For mixed companies, it has both features of the direct companies and the agent companies."

At the same time, Wisniewski has been in impressive form for a Racing team who have won their last six games in the Top 14 to move into play-off contention.
His coach, and former France backs coach, Gonzalo Quesada, believes Wisniewski is approaching international form, and despite being 27, the fly-half remains hopeful of a call-up.
He said: "I've heard my name mentioned, and that is always pleasing. But with the situation where players are in place, there is a squad. [Philippe Saint-André] will stick with them until the end of the tournament, it's the logical decision.
"I'm not going to say that I don't hope I'll get called up, I do and am doing everything I can to do so.
"I've been working since I came back from injury and if I get my chance I'll be delighted. For now my priority is my club, we have an exciting end to the season.
"When we came back from the break we weren't at our best, now we have given ourselves the chance to do something. The main priority is to finish the season well, and if something more comes, then it's meant to be."

Ponting out for 81:56
Ricky Ponting has been caught out by Kallis for 8 after a ball from Peterson as he says goodbye to international cricket.
RICKY Ponting's grand farewell tour of Australia will kick off in Brisbane on Sunday but it will not be the last time Queenslanders get to pay homage to the retiring Test great.
Ponting is a confirmed starter for the Hobart Hurricanes in their Twenty20 Big Bash clash against the Brisbane Heat with officials hoping the former Australian captain's presence will swell the Gabba crowd to more than 16,000.
The star factor of South African spearhead quick Dale Steyn and Australian Test allrounder Shane Watson for the Heat will also help bring more into the ground.
But the Ponting factor will be the biggest drawcard as it will continue the long series of goodbyes to the batting great, who will finish his career playing interstate and T20 Big Bash cricket.
Queenslanders will get two further chances to farewell Ponting when he plays a Ryobi Cup one-day match at the Gabba on January 27 and then a Sheffield Shield game at the Gabba starting on March 7.
Ponting will move on from his farewell eight runs in Perth yesterday to become a man in purple on Sunday when he lines up for the George Bailey-captained Hurricanes side.
It will be the first domestic T20 game Ponting has played at the Gabba, either in the current Big Bash or the interstate T20 competition which preceded it and started in the summer of 2005-06.
"With Ponting playing, we are expecting a very healthy crowd and we are encouraging fans to pre-purchase their tickets," a Heat official said.
The Gabba has not been one of Ponting's most productive grounds in short-form cricket - he averages just 29 from 18 one-day international matches in Brisbane and has only played two T20 internationals here.
Ponting, who turns 38 in just over a fortnight, will be keen to go out with a bang in Brisbane.
The Heat, desperate to improve on their slow start to last season's Big Bash campaign, will have a practice match at the Gabba tomorrow so they can hit the ground running against the Hurricanes.
Heat signing Mitchell Johnson, the recalled Test quick, will not be on deck for Brisbane on Sunday as his wife Jess is expecting the couple's first child early next week.
The Heat have not enjoyed the success of some of the other Australian T20 franchises and have vowed this will be the season they win the Big Bash and qualify for the finals of the rich Champions League tournament.
West Indian fast bowler Kemar Roach will link with the team once he finishes his final ODI and T20 commitments with the Windies in Bangladesh next week.

West Norwood singing sensation Ruth Brown said her performance on a BBC talent show this weekend "didn't go to plan" despite nearly moving pop legend Sir Tom Jones to tears.
Ruth Brown, 20, told her 21,000 Twitter followers she needed "to work on diction and nerves" despite sailing into the semi-finals of The Voice with her emotional rendition of Emili Sande's heartbreaker Next To Me.
She said: "Ok I admit last night's performance didn't go to plan. I've read your comments - I need to work on diction and nerves but I wasn't shouting."
But her mentor Sir Tom Jones was left "choked up" by the modest songstress' performance, adding that she had "something special".
She is now the bookies' favourite to win the contest at odds of 5/2, narrowly ahead of former Wandsworth teacher Jaz Ellington.
Jones said: "I've sang duets with a lot of people and I've heard some amazing voices throughout my career but this girl has got something special I've never heard before in my life.
"When I hear Ruth sing I get choked up."
Black Eyed Peas singer Will.I.Am added: "You sing incredible. Each time you perform again you get better and better and better.
"You don't need explosions behind you but if you put some missiles and stuff coming out, that would just be out of this world."
The remaining sixteen contestants were told one act belonging to each of the four judges - which also includes The Script's Danny O'Donoghue and singer Jessie J - would be put through by the public vote.
Each then had to nominate another act to join the other four selected by the public, meaning half the contestants were dispatched in the last two weeks.

|The following dates are approximate and represent the rough consensus of modern biblical scholars.
The Assyrian Crisis of the 8th-7th Centuries BCE (Map)
|c. 750 BCE
|Amos, a resident of Judah, prophesied in Israel, the northern kingdom. He challenged popular ways of thinking about the Day of Yahweh. Rather than being a day of deliverance, it will be a day of judgment, a time when Yahweh will punish Israel and its neighbors for their social and economic abuses. Amos claimed that Israel had perverted the worship of Yahweh into a worthless exercise of ritual.
|c. 740-730 BCE
|Hosea claimed that Israel's worship of Baal was like marital infidelity. He continued Amos' claim that Israel's social and economic injustice deserved severe punishment, even devastation of the nation. Still, Hosea emphasized Yahweh's devoted commitment to Israel's well-being (God's hesed).
|c. 742-695 BCE
|Isaiah of Jerusalem was closely associated with the Jerusalem temple and the Davidic royal family. Like Amos and Hosea he condemns the greed of the wealthy class and its lack of concern for the poor. He lived during the Assyrian invasion of Judah and counseled a policy of total dependance upon Yahweh.
|c. 730-701 BCE
|Micah was a rural villager in Judah. He denounced the rich landowners who oppressed the rural farmers. He warned that the temple in Jerusalem would be destroyed (See Micah 3:9-12).
The 7th Century decline of Assyria and rise of Babylon
|The book of Zephaniah was compiled at the time of Josiah's reign in Judah. The book begins by declaring Yahweh's intention to "cut off humanity from the face of the earth" (1:3), but in the middle of chapter 3 changes tone to announce that "The Lord has taken away the judgment against you" (3:15). Could the abrupt change in tone reflect the institution of Josiah's reform?
|c. 612 BCE
|Nahum rejoiced over the fall of Assyria shortly before its capital at Nineveh was destroyed (612 BCE).
|c. 605-600 BCE
|When it became clear that the Babylonians would soon conquer Judah, Habakkuk questioned God's fairness, but concluded that the righteous person must have faith in God's justice.
The 6th Century Babylonian Exile (Map) (Map)
|c. 627-580 BCE
|Jeremiah lived in the period leading to the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem (from the time of Josiah to Zedekiah) and for a short time after that event. He argued that Yahweh was using Babylon as the instrument of his judgment against Judah for its breaking of the covenant. Jeremiah believed that neither the temple cult nor the Davidic family could save Judah. He urged Judah's kings to submit to Babylon. The book of Jeremiah includes an announcement of a future covenant which will not be broken like the old one (See Jeremiah 31:31).
|c. 587 BCE (or shortly afterward)
|Obadiah condemned Edom for its role in helping the Babylonians as they crushed Jerusalem in 587 BCE.
|c. 593-570 BCE
|Ezekiel was a priest exiled to Babylon sometime after 597 BCE. He asserted that Yahweh is too holy to live among a people who are unjust and violent. With powerful mystical imagery, Ezekiel saw Yahweh departing from Jerusalem, abandoning it to the forces of Babylon. He also envisioned a future in which there would be a new temple and a new Jerusalem.
|c. 540
|Some portions of the book of Isaiah (especially chapters 40-55) reflect a Babylonian setting. This material is often called Second Isaiah. The author witnessed Cyrus of Persia's rise to power (c. 550-539 BCE) and calls him Yahweh's mashiah (anointed one). These portions of the book of Isaiah reflect a strict monotheism, presenting Yahweh as the director of human history. They include four songs (often called the "Servant Songs") in which the servant of Yahweh acts to carry out the divine will.
The Late 6th Century: the Restored Judean Community (Map)
|c. 520
|Haggai prophesied at the time of Zerubbabel, a descendant of David whom the Persians appointed as governor of Judah (which was now a province of the Persian Empire). Haggai urged the restored community to rebuild the temple of Yahweh in Jerusalem saying that Yahweh would bring the wealth of the nations to the city if the community would complete this task.
|c. 520-515
|The author of the first eight chapters of the book of Zechariah lived at the same time as Haggai (under the rule of Zerubbabel). He reported a series of eight visions encouraging the returned exiles to rebuild Jerusalem and its temple and rely on Yahweh as they awaited the restoration of the Davidic line of kings. Many scholars see the remainder of the book (chapters 9?14) as being the work of a series of later prophets, perhaps disciples of the original Zechariah. This later material is often called Second Zechariah.
|c. 515?
|The third major section of the book of Isaiah (Isaiah 56?66) includes a mix of materials reflecting nearly the whole range of historical situations mentioned above. Some of this material appears to reflect the conditions of the post-exilic period and is called Third Isaiah. In a time of poverty and political helplessness, the prophet criticized the community for its religious apathy and for allowing idolatry and social injustice. He urges that foreigners should be integrated into Judah's religious life and uses apocalyptic language to speak of a future renewed creation (new heavens and a new earth).
|c. 400-350?
|The book of Joel contains a set of apocalyptic visions. With striking imagery Joel speaks of plagues and other divine judgments signaling the coming of the Day of Yahweh. Joel calls for repentance and pictures a future time when the spirit of God will be poured out on all people.
|Malachi, whose name means "my messenger," criticizes Judah's religious apathy. He predicts the coming of the Day of Yahweh when the nation will be judged and says that Yahweh's messenger will prepare the way for that day. The book ends with talk of a future appearance of Elijah. It is not possible to assign a definite date to this material, but the book probably reflects a post-exilic setting. Its condemnation of infidelity and divorce (2:13?16) may be a reaction to Ezra's postexilic command that Jewish men must send their non Jewish wives away (Ezra 10:3 and 44).
|Unlike the other Latter Prophets, the book of Jonah is a narrative (sometimes viewed as a parable). This story in which Jonah is swallowed by a large fish and spit up on dry ground contrasts Jonah's limited view of guilt and judgment with Yahweh's concern for all people?even for Israel's enemies. As with the book of Malachi, Jonah is probably post-exilic, but it is not possible to assign a date with confidence. Jonah's message also seems relevant to the end of the Assyrian Empire much earlier.
|Other Resources for Studying the Latter Prophets
As you study this chronology of the Latter Prophets, you should also look at a good map of the region around Israel and Judah. The maps on pages 203 and 212 of Stephen Harris, Understanding the Bible are useful for this purpose. Maps 6-7 in the New Oxford Annotated Bible are also useful.
Barry Bandstra has made several very useful maps available online.

Letter to Mathematics Alumni re: W.R.(Bill) Gordon Scholarship
Department of Mathematics & Statistics
University of Victoria, Victoria, B.C.
April 15, 2011
re: W.R.(Bill) Gordon Scholarship
Dear Mathematics Alumni:
Many of you may have learned that Dr. W.R. Bill Gordon, who was a faculty member in UVic's Department of Mathematics and Statistics from 1965 to 2001 and served as its Head from 1973 to 1977, passed away in December 2010.
This letter, which comes to you from the current and former Chairs of Mathematics & Statistics, is being sent to former students who completed undergraduate programs in Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science or in combined/joint programs with Chemistry, Economics or Physics during Bill Gordon's 36 period as a professor in the Department.
Our purpose in writing is to bring to your attention an effort initiated by a group of friends and colleagues to raise $25,000 in order to endow the W.R.(Bill) Gordon Scholarship in his memory. We believe this attempt to establish a lasting tribute to Bill Gordon to be a most worthy cause. He was a most respected, dedicated, and faculty member. Many students will have had Bill as their professor in introductory calculus or matrix algebra courses. In addition, Bill was instrumental in forging initiatives in curriculum design, including development of a new course in Mathematics of Finance, the introduction of co-operative education programs and the maintenance of grading standards.
Bill also found time to contribute to the university's Athletic and Recreational programs. He was a seminal force and architect in the establishment of the university's current Athletic and Recreation policies. Besides all of these activities and commitments, Bill was an active rugby player, a jazz aficionado, and a devoted family man. Additional details about his wide ranging and lasting contributions to the University of Victoria can be found in a recent article in the Ring or in this screenshot in PDF format.
We would be grateful for your participation in establishing this lasting tribute to Bill Gordon. In order to make a contribution, please make your donation payable to the University of Victoria and mail to
W.R. (Bill) Gordon Scholarship Fund

James Hinchcliffe rarin' to go at DaytonaLooking to 24 Hours at Daytona to erase bad taste from Fontana finish
By DEAN MCNULTY, QMI Agency
The winter off-season for James Hinchcliffe has gone on too long already.
The 26-year-old native of Oakville is itching to get back behind the wheel of a race car and Saturday's start of the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona GRAND-AM sports car race can't come soon enough.
His last race in North America was more than four months ago when the IZOD IndyCar Series championship was decided at California's Auto Club Speedway in the No. 27 Andretti Autosport Chevrolet — a bittersweet moment that saw Hinchcliffe finish in what was for him a disappointing 12th place, while his Andretti teammate Ryan Hunter-Reay claimed the season ending trophy.
"Fontana feels like a lifetime ago," Hinchcliffe said this week. "I think that since that race was a bad one for us, it makes the off-season even longer."

When Bach visited the court of Frederick the Great of Prussia in 1747, he was warmly welcomed by the highly musical monarch, and responded with his Musical Offering to the king, a virtuoso demonstration of contrapuntal dexterity based on a theme Frederick had given him. As much a theoretical summation of the art of counterpoint as a work for performance, the Musical Offering was the main event in this appearance by soloists from the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra under their director, Ton Koopman, who presided at the harpsichord.
Bach's canons and fugues largely lack instructions as to which instruments should be deployed. In selecting from two violins, viola, cello, double bass, flute and harpsichord, the Dutch Bach specialist and his colleagues stressed the primacy of intermeshed lines over colour, which here the composer clearly considered secondary to abstract themes juxtaposed with their own inversions. The exception was the trio sonata, for which Bach stipulated flute, violin and continuo, the first instrument a homage to Frederick, a flautist.
This was the evening's most spontaneous performance, with flautist Jan de Winne and violinist Catherine Manson competing for attention, even if the limitations of the baroque flute left the latter the clear winner. After the interval, Koopman was joined on harpsichord by his wife, Tini Mathot, for an alternative version of the Musical Offering's six-part Ricercar and a concerto for two harpsichords. But their instruments' lack of sustaining power, especially in the lyricism of the slow movement, indicated why Bach might sometimes have preferred the notional lines of his imagination to the actual sounds produced by mere humans.

Dating wasn't any level of hell in Dante's Inferno. But it can sure feel like one sometimes. We generally think it's a natural process. It's all about chemistry. You meet someone. You like them. They like you and boom! The magic happens. Cue music. Except it doesn't always work that way. Not in real life. Sometimes you date someone and they drop off the face of the planet, right when things were just getting interesting. What was it a fear of commitment? Did they meet someone else or get back with their ex? Or else they owed money to the mob. There isn't much you can do at this point, except pick yourself up and keep going. Then there is for some a worse situation, a kind of dating purgatory. This is when you meet people all the time. You date and date and don't have chemistry with any of them. What do you do? Some say chemistry is over-rated. It is compatibility you are looking for. Chemistry fades as soon as the "honeymoon phase" has worn off. Then if compatibility isn't there, there are few things to keep the couple together. Others think you should hold out for someone who knocks you off your feet. So what is the best way forward if you aren't finding chemistry with anyone you are dating?
You shouldn't spend a significant amount of time with someone just because you want someone there. But if you have been on a significant number of dates or spent time with lots of would-be suitors and have no feelings at all toward any of them, consider where you are. What is your selection process like? Are you being too picky? Sometimes we want everything in a mate and refuse to settle. But we forget that each of us is a human being. We all have our faults. Consider giving it a rest for now. Focus on yourself. Then come back at it fresh. But begin looking at your dating life from another point of view. Some people are very goal oriented. But one's love life rarely fits into the plans we've made for it. Usually, we say we want something specific and someone comes along and mucks it all up. There are those who have started to realize that their choices in past lovers may have not been the best. Chemistry can sometimes push us toward those who are not healthy for us. It is best to resist it then. But don't think you will be stuck in limbo forever. Your system only has to be reconnoitered. Just be patient and wait for someone who gives you that "wow" factor and is also good for you.
There are those who find that nerves get in the way. It is often those people who are very reserved. Others are shy and introverted and take time to get used to others. Chemistry cannot be formed when one is experiencing high anxiety, or when one's date is. Spend a little time with the person who is nice but whom you aren't sure about. If you or they are nervous or seem to be, spend time in a setting that is comfortable for the uncomfortable person, on their home turf. If you just aren't sure about them and nervousness doesn't factor in, try and see them from a different vantage point. A new context or different environment can bring out other sides of a person, ones you may be more attracted to or less so. Take them out with friends, bring them along on a hike or do some volunteer work together. Realize that compatibility with a little bit of chemistry makes for a better long-term relationship than the other way around. You can do novel things together to turn that spark into an inferno. But compatibility on the other hand is an either have it or you don't scenario. Realize that a love life just doesn't work the way other aspects of our life like family, friends, or our career does. Those things are relatively straightforward. But a vibrant love life takes patience, confidence, and a great attitude and the ability to start over, to come out the other side unscathed and smiling. Just be yourself. Be happy, open, curious, and practice nonjudgment towards others. Sooner or later someone you fancy will be knocking on your heart's door. For more on better ways to travail the often bitter landscape of the human heart readThe Secret Laws of Attraction: The Effortless Way to Get the Relationship You Want by Talane Miedaner.

In her final defence plea, 27-year-old Schapelle Corby tearfully proclaimed her innocence, saying "I cannot admit to a crime I did not commit."
Ms Corby was arrested in October after 4.1 kg (9 pounds) of marijuana was found in her bags at Bali airport.
Under Indonesia's tough anti-drug laws, convicted traffickers can be executed.
But Ms Corby's case has attracted widespread public interest in Australia, and the Canberra government has urged Indonesian prosecutors not to ask for the death penalty.
In a written statement to judges at the district court in Bali's capital, Denpasar, on Thursday, Ms Corby said she was an innocent victim of Australian drug gangs.
"I say again that I have no knowledge of how the marijuana came to be inside my bag," she said.
She said she had already been punished enough for doing no more than failing to lock her bags.
"To judges, my life at the moment is in your hands, but I would prefer that my life was in your heart," she said.
Prosecutors have recommended that Ms Corby serve a life sentence, although the judges could still impose the death penalty if they convict her.
A verdict is expected by next month.
