Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/10/2012 (1781 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Unsupported by science
I was disappointed to see Dr. Debbie Pollock's fear mongering and half-truths regarding lawn pesticides in her Oct. 1 column, Precaution on cosmetic pesticides call for ban. Her accusations are unsupported by science and deliberately misleading.
For instance, she says "(pesticides) are a leading cause of poisonings here in Canada" but fails to point out that medication is the leading cause of poisoning among children. By her logic we should ban all medication and she as a medical doctor should be prohibited from prescribing medication and instead recommend "natural" products for the sick and dying.
The real facts are that Health Canada has tested and proved these products as safe, and there is no credible scientific evidence that proves they are harmful when used as directed. People need to get the facts and make an informed decision, not be part of a knee-jerk, politically motivated reaction to appease the vocal minority like Pollock.
I fully agree with Dr. Debbie Pollock's position on banning cosmetic pesticides in Manitoba.
Pesticides used on lawns and gardens pose needless dangers to people, pets and the environment. The risks to children are of particular concern. Medical studies have shown exposure to many common pesticides poses serious health risks.
I was a paper carrier for more than two decades and was needlessly exposed to cosmetic pesticides on people's lawns. I contracted non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and one of the documented causes of this type of cancer is pesticides.
Organizations such as the Canadian Cancer Society and the Ontario College of Family Physicians have endorsed the call for a cosmetic pesticide ban. Pesticides also cause harm to sensitive ecosystems.
Contamination from pesticide residues puts our waterways at risk, and some pesticides have also been found to harm honeybees and other pollinators that are essential for food production.
Now is the time for the government of Manitoba to take a leadership position to protect the health and environment of Manitobans.
Targeted subsidies
In his Sept. 19 feature From China to Iqaluit, Gerald Flood writes that "a year-old federal program... switched transport subsidies from pretty much anything that could be flown north to more nutritious foods."
In fact, the Food Mail Program, which was replaced by Nutrition North Canada on April 1, 2011, did not subsidize the transportation of "pretty much anything": foods of little nutritional value and many "convenience" perishable foods such as frozen breaded fried chicken and packaged sandwiches were not eligible, nor were recreation and entertainment equipment and supplies, animal food and most paper products (with only a few exceptions).
A long list of non-essential non-food items were eliminated from the program in 1996. However, diapers, other non-food items required for personal hygiene and those that support access to country food through hunting and fishing remained eligible. In recent years, only about four to five per cent of Food Mail Program funding was applied to non-food items, and about 12 to 13 per cent to non-perishable food products, most of which have become ineligible for Nutrition North Canada.
Encouraging families
Re: Missing the core problem (Letters, Sept. 29). Certainly, Child and Family Services has problems, as Dave Ferguson suggests, but it is also dealing with huge problems in society.
Two solutions: Encourage families to rear their own children and not farm them out to relatives; and institute a campaign to educate pregnant women about the risks of fetal-alcohol syndrome.
The ultimate responsibility for the sexual and moral education of children lies with their parents. Academics and socialists want to take away this right because they think they know better and because they want to remake society.
Parents need to be extra vigilant of school trustees and other politicians.
In closing, I'll say thank God for single women. At least someone is having children.
Dave Ferguson sounds like he believes sex education focused on target groups would solve the big problem by reducing kids in care.
Like they don't know birth control exists. Why not just sterilize them all? It would be cheaper.
I don't have a solution, but I know a single person in Manitoba who works and earns $12,000 a year has to pay a $295 deductible on Manitoba medical coverage.
Then their prescriptions are free -- except for birth control. The same problem exists in many other jurisdictions.
Birth control should be free and easily available.
An isolated case
I feel I must correct Renee Peloquin (Inexperience leads to tragedy, Letters, Oct. 2) on a number of points. First, this is a sad, but isolated case. And it is important to point out that police make these type of mistakes as well.
However, there are many more examples of citizens who carry concealed weapons saving the day. Recently in Utah, a man was on a stabbing spree and a citizen pulled a gun and told him to stop or he would shoot. It ended there with only two people stabbed. Police arrived five minutes later. How many more victims would there have been by then?
In the U.S., citizens allowed to carry a weapon have to undergo training, and for most it is a hobby where they practice combat situations. With it being a hobby, they often are better trained than police officers.
Finally, if Peloquin read anything at all on the subject, she would know that in fact more guns do indeed lead to more peace. Those U.S. states where it becomes legal to carry a gun have seen a drop in violent crime, whereas those countries that severely restrict guns (England) have an increase in violent crime.
Continuing his one note attack on firearms owners, Ron Charach (A defective product, Letters, Oct. 1) animates semi-auto guns in the way a child blames the hammer for a flattened thumb. Haven't we decided that there is more success combating violent crime if we look at the human dimension instead?
Would anyone really feel safer if crooks and cops alike carried antique weapons like dynamite or blunderbusses?
True beauty is selfless
Re: If the shoe fits -- give it (Sept. 29). Lindor Reynolds, please stop writing about Kris Doubledee's good deed. Deeply sensitive people are taking it up as a Facebook and Twitter quote that must be passed on and imitated.True beauty needs no audience. It has its own light that burns from within -- it needs none shone on it.

NEW YORK – Derek Fisher has agreed to become the next coach of the New York Knicks and will be introduced at a news conference Tuesday morning, a person familiar with the situation told AP.
The Knicks did not confirm the hiring, other than saying they were planning a "major announcement."
The person who confirmed the deal to AP spoke on condition of anonymity because neither side authorized the public disclosure of any information related to the deal.
The 39-year-old Fisher just completed his 18th season, finishing his career with the Oklahoma City Thunder. He played under Knicks president Phil Jackson with the Los Angeles Lakers, and helped that franchise win five NBA titles.
Fisher would have been an unrestricted free agent this summer, though it was widely known that this season would be his last as a player. And once the Knicks failed to close a deal with Steve Kerr — who wound up accepting an offer from Golden State — Fisher was believed to be the next target on Jackson's list.
Jackson was fined $25,000 for the league last week for a tampering violation involving Fisher. He was still under contract with the Thunder when Jackson told New York reporters that Fisher was "on my list of guys that could be very good candidates" to replace Mike Woodson on the Knicks' sideline.
Fisher surely could still play. He has just suspected for a while that his time has come to do something else.
"Coaching allows for you to positively impact other people's lives," Fisher told reporters during his exit interview after Oklahoma City's season ended. "To help a group of people find success, whether they have or haven't before, you're all working together for a common goal."
Fisher's hiring means that next season, both teams in New York will have former point guards barely removed from playing days at the helms.
It worked for the Brooklyn Nets, who made the Eastern Conference semifinals this season with first-year coach Jason Kidd, and now the Knicks will hope that Fisher can have the same success.
His hiring is the first significant step in what's expected to be a broad makeover of the team by Jackson, who was hired late in the regular season to turn around the fortunes of a franchise that has won just one playoff series in the past 14 years.
Over that 14-year span, the Knicks have won a mere 10 playoff games. Fisher played in 134 playoff wins during that stretch.
Price may be right
Cleveland — The Cavaliers will talk to a former star about being their coach.
Mark Price, a sweet-shooting All-Star guard for Cleveland, will interview for the team's coaching job, a person familiar with the meeting told AP. Price is scheduled to sit down with members of the Cavs' front office on Tuesday, said the person who spoke Monday on condition of anonymity because the team is not making any plans public.
Price spent last season as an assistant coach on Steve Clifford's staff with Charlotte. The 50-year-old has previously worked as an assistant coach in Orlando and Golden State. He has also been a shooting consultant with several teams.
A steady point guard on some of Cleveland's best teams in the late 1980s and '90s, Price was a four-time All-Star in nine seasons with the Cavaliers. The team retired his No. 25 jersey in 1999, one year after he finishing playing.
With Price in the backcourt and Brad Daugherty up front, the Cavs made several strong runs at an NBA title, but were stopped by Michael Jordan. Price averaged 16.2 points and 7.2 rebounds for Cleveland. He has the second-highest free-throw percentage in league history.
Price has long been one of the Cavs' most popular players, and his addition adds a new wrinkle to a twisting coaching search now in its fourth week. The Cavs are looking to replace Mike Brown, who was fired on May 12 — for the second time — following a 33-49 season. Brown was previously fired by owner Dan Gilbert following the 2010 season.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer was first to report Price's interview.
The Cavs hope to hire a coach before the June 26 NBA Draft. Cleveland has the No. 1 overall pick for the second year in a row and third time in four years.
Price is the sixth known candidate to meet with the Cavs.

Issue of the Week: Walker and Neumann Plan to Cut BadgerCare
reality, BadgerCare—created by Republican Gov. Tommy Thompson— provides an
invaluable safety net for folks who can't afford health care on the open
market. These include working people who don't have the means to pay for
coverage or whose employer does not provide coverage. The fact of the matter is
that the state stepped in with this program because the free market isn't
working in health care. And the cost effective and moral thing to do is to make
sure that these individuals have health insurance.
providing health care coverage to struggling workers is the moral thing to do,
even though these two candidates—who are both claiming to be devout
Christians—would rather worship the free market. We've got to ask: Would Jesus
cut health care for the poor so that the wealthy could get a tax break? Walker
and Neumann should consider the "least of these" while making their campaign

Jerk of the Week
Journal Sentinel
Columnist Patrick McIlheran
yet another fact-free op-ed, Journal
Sentinel columnist Patrick McIlheran (a denier of manmade global warming)
bemoans the fact that saner folks aren't impressed by Republican Senate
candidate Ron Johnson's views on global warming. McIlheran tries to back up
Johnson's notorious "sunspot" claim with some scientific studies, then
immediately backtracks: "Not that any of them prove Johnson right. Crediting
the sun for warming is a minority view." It's a minority view that McIlheran is
eager to push, since it pleases his supporters in the oil industry—don't forget
that McIlheran won an award from Americans for Prosperity, the "Astro turf" tea
party group bankrolled by the largest privately owned oil company in the United
States—and his ultraconservative fans who don't want to take personal
responsibility for environmental damage. McIlheran is their useful idiot. But
he shouldn't be pushing propaganda in a newspaper that's allegedly fact-checked
for accuracy.

The second single off 'MMLP2' album features the Detroit MC rapping about how he can't deal with his own fame.
Eminem's collaboration with Rihanna, "The Monster", has arrived online. Premiered on SiriusXM's Shade 45 on Monday, October 28, the new track is set to be featured in the rapper's "MMLP2" that is set to be released on November 5.
The song opens with Rihanna singing about herself dealing with something that other people don't think exist. "I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed/ Get along with the voices inside of my head/ You trying to save me, stop holding your breath/ And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy," she croons.
Eminem, once again, shows the world that he's still uncomfortable with his own fame. "I wanted the fame but not the cover of Newsweek/ Oh well, guess beggers can't be choosy," Em raps, making a reference to his October 2000 magazine cover.
"The Monster" has been confirmed as the second cut off "MMLP2". The new single is not the first collaboration between Eminem and Rihanna. Both artists previously teamed up for a massively successful 2010 single, "Love the Way You Lie", which hit No. 1 on Billboard 100.
The two artists later reunited for the second part of the track, "Love the Way You Lie (Part II)". They worked together again for "Numb", which was recorded for Rihanna's "Unapologetic".

[Channel-talkenergy] Session 1: Science in Focus: Energy
Date: Mon Feb 11 2008 - 21:47:42 EST
X-Mailer: Novell GroupWise Internet Agent 7.0.2 HP
I am looking for someone to talk with about the information in session 1
of the Science in Focus:Energy class. In the first session they talked
about defining energy and how children, adults, and even scientist can
struggle with a clear understanding of what energy is. They all know
that it is a process but are unclear on the components that drive that
energy that they talk about. This session posed a question about the
metaphors used to describe different types of energy and asked which
ones I thought were the easiest to understand. Before they talked about
energy and what is was, they came up with a clear definition and how
energy can be related to work. In the movie, they stated that work
equals force times distance moved. They showed an example of a man
pushing a car to show how that definition can clearly identify when
energy or work is being done and when it is not.
Pushing a car—work
Rock in front of wheel-- to a scientist John is not doing work, because
the car is not moving.
They talked about evidence of energy being around us each day, such as
cars moving, water running, etc... and how force of an object can cause
energy to occur.
1. Changes in nature – force applied to a moving object and work is
2. Cannot hold energy or feel it directly.
3. Energy is what a tank of gas, running dog, and charged battery,
have in common, an ability to do work.
They explained that anytime there is a change in the universe is when
energy occurs. All energy is powered by the sun directly or indirectly.
They defined the different types of energy that we encounter in our
lives and the sources of that energy. Those types of energy are
Mechanical, Heat, sound, light, chemical energy are all types of energy
that we are familiar with and use in our daily lives. The Energy
sources are: wind, water, oil, gas, wood, atoms, electrons, protons,
electricity, etc...
With all that information presented I found the following metaphor the
easiet to comprehend. The metaphor was developed when a a food
specialist attempted to introduce energy and how it is introduced to our
bodies to help us do work to some elementary aged students. They could
Define what an energy source is and how it is used—batteries, gas for a
car, and a balloon with air. They had to identify what the energy user
would use and the source of the energy was.
The students had no trouble talking about mechanical objects and how
they obtained energy, but when it came to humans and animals they had to
have the following pointed out to the:
This was a metaphor for life and showed how the food energy pyramid was
a clear representation of how energy can be transfered, used, and

Oui-oui en le Boulevard
But the words belonged to this writer
out of Oak focking Park, Ill., known as Papa. You betcha, "One man
alone ain't got… no chance," Ernie Hemingway wrote, the flatlander who
flatlined himself 49 years ago this month in Idaho from shooting himself to the
ever-living not-so make-believe death, coda to a lifetime of climbing the
Kilimanjaro, drinking, shooting the shit with hoity-toity types in Parisian
swanky joints, dicking around with Spanish bulls, bagging Hollywood movie
bimbos, drinking, and shooting guns at big animals that now tread the line of
being gone from our sights for focking ever, the kind of creatures nowadays we
only see in a circus, zoo, or on cable TV—but then-a-days, were animals that
ballsy writers and native natives used to see as common as the dandelions a
suburban landowner surveys and… I forgot my point, what the fock.

just got to wash their dirty dishes.
I'm allergic to water.
Herbie: I
got to get going. The wife's nephews are staying over. The little one, what's
his name, all the time it's Barney this, Barney that—drive you focking nuts.
Who the fock is Barney?
The TV show for the kids. Cripes, you been on the focking moon the past 100
Smells like cheese. Old cheese. Guys, I dare you to smell this.
But I'll tell you's, I wish that focking felt dinosaur would teach these kids
something useful instead of words to pussy-ass songs on how to count to one.
How 'bout teach these kids how to hit the focking toilet with Number One. My
little one, what's his name, his aim's so far off for christ sakes, I swear he
must've been in Mussolini's army in some kind of past life.
Hey, this don't taste half bad, whatever it is.
Artie, why don't you write something about that war in Afghanistan we
can't win against a bunch of skinny knobs in turbans who hate women and don't
even have an air force.
I'm just focking glad the two little nephews ain't old enough to get mixed up
in that focking insanity, yet. Guys, I got to go. "Barney's" almost on.
Ray: Yeah,
me too, see you in church Artie; if the windows aren't too dirty.
• • •
OK Ray, church, you bet.
Ray, who just took a bite out of a forgotten never-washed Ace bandage I used to
wrap 'round this bleeding boil on my thigh couple, three years ago.
So where the fock was
I—War? Good god, focking Barney ought to teach the kids a song by this Jewish
guy out of Hibbing, Minn., especially the part that goes "That
if God's on our side, He'll stop the next war." Hell, if He was on our
side, the other side, all focking sides, you'd think at some point He'd
see what the fock was going on, step in and stop one of these shebangs for
once, ain'a?
Yeah, fat focking chance. He can't see—the focking windows are too dirty 'cause I'm Art Kumbalek and I told you so.

Spin-off from #1499596-96: Introduce a basic entity form controller:
I also tried to remove customly invoking form-main-level validation handlers, but that seems to be necessary. I guess we should move the a validation-hook here, but let's leave it to a follow-up to introduce all kind of hooks. (altering?, entity-building, validating, submitting)
To be completed.
Comment #1sun CreditAttribution: sun commented
I'd especially love it if other modules could rely in their form submission handlers on the fact that the primary entity's form submission handlers were already invoked.
E.g., in the Mollom module, I'm facing the situation that I need to store data that relates to the entity in my form submit handler. However, it is not always guaranteed that the primary entity form's submit handler has run already — especially when button-level submit handlers are involved, such as node_form_submit_build_node() of the node form's "Save" button.
As a developer integrating with an entity form, I'd ideally like to have pre-entity-submit and post-entity-submit hooks. I created an issue for that some time ago already:
#1150756: Improve integration with entity form button-level and form-level submit handlers, form/entity (re-)building, and previews
This seems to be closely related, so I wanted to mention it here.

Easy killer, it was a joke. Personally I think the locker room in Sac will keep BM from reaching his full potential. And if Orlando gives Oladipo the keys to the offense early-ish in the season then he'll get enough PT to put up some numbers and showcase an NBA ready defense. Not to mention if he is any good at running the point, Orlando has a lot of talent yet to be showcased. Vucevic, Harkless and Harris are all talented players. Do I think there is any way they compile over 30 wins? Not really. Do I think Oladipo can transform into a full fledged point guard? Unlikely. But he racked up a good number of assists in summer league and was knocking down the 3 point shot so I won't be shocked if becoming a legit combo guard for the Magic.
However, if it is the video game and it's pretty much what skill set who has, Mclemore has a much broader offensive skill set than Oladipo. That being said, BM is the worst passer in the draft. I think he had like .8 a game in SL.

Noooooo way Copeland is rated higher than CJ just because of his playoff hot streaks...actually ok you're right they would do something like that
"What you are witnessing right now is the old Danny Granger of old!!" - Chris Denari 01/01/2014
I'm not so sure I feel George is getting overhyped as much as I feel Hibbert is being greatly undervalued/appreciated. We all know Hibbert struggled with his wrist for much of the regular season, but he is by far our most important piece and IMO our best player. I think this is further proof that in today's sports culture, hype is based more on flash than actual ability.
Ah yes because the kings have always been great at cultivating talent and having it play to its potential.
They could have an okay team. He will be the focus of their team with Evans gone now
Smothered Chicken!
Lol, I am pretty sure DMC will be their best player. I would bet oladipo is the rookie of the year and I hate IU as much as anyone. Don't let your bias cloud your judgment it sounds ridiculous

Those numbers are copied and pasted from Rashidi's blog:
Evan Turner had a pretty good year and he's down 5 points? That is a bit of a head scratcher. He's an 81-83 type of range if you ask me.
If Lin and Chalmers are at 76, then I hope Hill finally gets some recognition and is rated a 77. He's better than those 2.
First time in a long time, I've been happy with the team that was constructed, and now they struggle. I blame the coach.
I have a hard time believing that 2K will do anything to any guy outside of their 50 favorite players. I can say with confidence that George Hill's rating won't change (unless they have added attributes).
"What you are witnessing right now is the old Danny Granger of old!!" - Chris Denari 01/01/2014
I didn't have anything in mind to be honest.
I'm not perfect and neither are you.
Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the esteem of Elohim,
Ephisians 4: 32 And be kind towards one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as Elohim also forgave you in Messiah.
How in the world Andrew Bynum rated at a 86 and haven't played in over a year
Here's the Complete List: http://thereal2kinsider.blogspot.com...r-ratings.html
Pacers Listed below
Paul George: 87
Roy Hibbert: 81
Danny Granger: 80 (Doesn't deserve it until he can prove he's healthy)
David West: 79 (Words can't describe how underrated he is)
Luis Scola: 79
George Hill: 75
Lance Stephenson: 74
Orlando Johnson: 71 (Overrated, if you ask me)
C.J. Watson: 69
Ian Mahinmi: 69
Chris Copeland: 65 (My guess, 86+ on 3's, nothing much else to offer)
Donald Sloan: 64
Solomon Hill: 62
First time in a long time, I've been happy with the team that was constructed, and now they struggle. I blame the coach.
Roy is waaaay underrated. Same with all big men.
Turner and Young are THE FUTURE!
Good that they edit the players stats during the year based on their performance.
I'm not perfect and neither are you.
Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the esteem of Elohim,
Ephisians 4: 32 And be kind towards one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as Elohim also forgave you in Messiah.
They don't do nearly enough of that, and when the do a lot of it doesn't make any sense.
I wish 2K had a "hold the ball above your shoulders" button. I hate that double teaming a big man is basically an automatic strip of the ball, when the real-life solution to a double team is much easier.

OH MY GOODNESS that required all caps, because Darren Collison is a sevvventttyyyyyy niiiiiinneee how did he go up THREE POINTS noooooooo wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy noooooooooooooo Darren
"What you are witnessing right now is the old Danny Granger of old!!" - Chris Denari 01/01/2014
2k hates David West. He was a 74 at the beginning of 2k12 and a 75 to start 2k13. They did bump him up to 81 during the season last year, but no clue as to why he dropped 2 points. During the middle of last season who would have ranked Roy higher than David?
Lifelong pacers fan
Maybe it's because if he was an 81, he would be "overrated" because an 81 with the post proficiency attribute would make him appear like an 83 or 84 in the game. Look here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7rD_MIh8gU and you'll see what attributes they gave him. Perhaps a 79 with the post proficiency makes him play like an 81, so that's why they didn't rate him higher? I also read that tall players may get lower ratings than shorter guards because being tall is an advantage in itself, so they have to even it out. Roy no longer has the post proficiency rating, but has the hustle points skill.
"What you are witnessing right now is the old Danny Granger of old!!" - Chris Denari 01/01/2014
I figured I'd go ahead and list what Pacers have which signature skills in 2k14.
George - Posterizer, Highlight Film, Lockdown Defender, Interceptor, Active Hands
Hibbert - Defensive Anchor, Eraser, Hustle Points
West - Post Proficiency, Bruiser
Stephenson - Ankle Breaker (lol Tony Parker)
Watson - Corner Specialist
Copeland - Spot Up Shooter, Microwave
That's it!

Author : Aditya Bhushan
Disclaimer – When Mr Harsha Bhogle resorts to video blogs for Sachin's retirement, you know writing on it is not going to be an easy task. So, I do not think my novice writing will be able to do any justice paying tributes to the accomplishments of the great man. This is just a humble attempt to see what it means for an average Sachin lover like me.
A day after the April fool's day in 2011 India won the cricket world cup. While this was the second time that India had lifted the cricket world cup, it was only the first in six attempts for an individual named Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. Since then, his retirement has been a topic which has drawn opinions of countrymen across the length and the breadth of the country.
More than two years since the world cup victory, on 10th of October 2013 the master made the announcement to hang up his boots. Looking back in history, on the same day more than 100 years back in 1892, the entire Honk Kong national cricket team had died in a ship wreck. For many of his supporters, this news was nothing short of a death of the game. It was difficult for them to understand how could a man who with a broken nose had once said 'Main Khelega' (I will play) can say 'Main nahin khelega' (I will not play).
While I am also an ardent Sachin fan but I don't think that this will be the death of cricket for me. It's a different story that I may not follow the game with the same enthusiasm till the time I find another hero. I am pretty sure that a similar outburst would have been witnessed when the great Sunil Gavaskar had retired. Many fans would have pledged not to follow the game. A few years after Gavaskar's retirement in came Tendulkar and I am sure the same people would have had a tough time keeping their pledge. They might have argued that this chap is good but not as good as Gavaskar and such an argument is pretty natural.
For the generation of 70s & 80s, Gavaskar was their first love and everybody has a special place for their first love. Similarly for people like me and many others who grew up in the 90s, Sachin is our first love. Gavaskar was the reason for which they watched cricket and Tendulkar is the reason that we love this great game. This in no way says that those people who were diehard Gavaskar fans did not enjoy Sachin's batting. Similarly, we the millennial generation might enjoy a future star.
Yes, we definitely feel that an irreplaceable void has been created. That void might be filled in the Indian team by another talented cricketer, but it will take some time to fill that void in our minds. By nature, human tendency is to resist change and when the change is as big as this adaption time is bound to be high. Here is a cricketer who has brought smiles on our faces for over two decades. We have spent nights arguing and giving out stats (at a time when stats was not as easily available as today) to prove that Sachin is the greatest batsman. And now when he is retiring, we are afraid that who will bring smiles on our faces, on whom will be base our arguments on. We just hope that we will get another great pretty soon. India has been a very lucky nation in this regard. We have produced two great batsmen in consecutive eras.
Now, as the nation prepares to watch the great man for the last time on cricket field, everyone has different expectations. Many want him to sign off in style by scoring centuries. While I would be more than happy if he does so, but I will not be disappointed if at all he fails this time. For, he has given me memories of more than a life time. The Desert storm, assault on Pakistan in 2003 World Cup, dancing down to Mcgrath in ICC Knock out 98 is still fresh in my mind as though it was yesterday. I have always prayed that he scores well for close to twenty years. But this time the only prayer would be to let him enjoy his last few matches.
And as Sachin always says, no individual is above the game. The game of cricket will live on in search of a new Tendulkar and till then we all can bask in the glory of living in an era when the master had played.

New building to be completely supported by renewable energy
May 3, 2012
Filed under News
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
All of the new student center's electrical energy will be 100 percent supported by renewable energy after the UW-Eau Claire Student Senate passed an allocation of student segregated fees at their meeting Monday.
The allocation of around $13,600 of student segregated fees controlled by the Student Office of Sustainability will go toward purchasing renewable energy credits from Xcel Energy.
According to the bill, Xcel Energy offers a voluntary Renewable Energy Credit purchasing program called Windsource which purchases renewable energy resources. The money goes directly to renewable energy projects within Xcel Energy's service territory and Xcel Energy receives no profit on their Windsource Program.
Director of the Student Office of Sustainability Brittany Whited said that by purchasing the renewable energy credits, it allows the university to support renewable energy in a more feasible way.
"We can't feasibly, right now, build a wind turbine on campus," she said. "Right now solar panels wouldn't work because that's too big of a project for us to fund … In the meantime, $13,000 to fund renewable energy credits for one building is something totally feasible."
The allocation will allow the university to further its goal toward carbon neutrality, Whited said.
Freshman Brittany Scheel said she thinks the campus should support measures like this.
"It's a detrimental part of becoming a greener campus," Scheel said. "Something has to happen, otherwise there's not going to be an environment if we're not doing something to save it."
However, Scheel said she thinks the money would be better spent on the new Davies building being run on renewable energy rather than for purchasing credits.
"It should stay on campus," she said. "We're paying for it to be on our campus, not to send it elsewhere."
Whited explained the UW System currently purchases renewable energy credits for just under 10 percent of the energy Eau Claire uses.
That number was supposed to increase to 20 percent in 2011. This is because of a Wisconsin act that required the Department of Agriculture to set goals for the use of renewable energy by the six state agencies that consume the great majority of electricity purchased by the state, the UW system included in those agencies, Whited said.
But Whited said neither the DOA nor the UW System have released reports that indicate it has happened.
Whited said the just over $13,600 allocation will cover the other 90 percent of energy to be used by the new Davies Student Center.
Whited said the Student Office of Sustainability came up with the dollar estimate by looking at the amount of kilowatt hours of energy the building will use each year.
Adjusting the price may be necessary as the real usage numbers are recorded in the new Davies Student Center, according to the bill. The program has a one year contract with Xcel Energy and will be reviewed each year by the SOS and Student Senate.

Another year, another group of maniacs pedaling 4,000 miles in the name of global health equity. For seven consecutive summers, a team of dedicated individuals has embarked on a grueling bike ride from California to Boston, raising AIDS awareness and helping fundraise for Partners In Health's programs around the world. This year, seven riders—the first all-woman team—took part in the Ride Against AIDS, which started in the San Francisco Bay area, snaked over the Rockies, cut across the Great Plains, and ended in Boston Harbor last week. We're delighted to work with such committed partners and fierce advocates. Below, each rider briefly reflects on the experience.
Leila Moinpour
Age: 23
Hometown: Manhattan Beach, California
What was the most inspirational moment?
Lesley Zimmer
What was the most challenging moment of the ride?
Aparna Shankar
Most inspirational moment?
What resonated with me the most was when he quoted JFK's famous call to action: "If not now, when? If not me, who?" We cannot afford to be silent bystanders or continue to simply complain about the world's problems. We must take up arms and fight for the changes that we want to see in the world.
Elizabeth Stockton
What was the most challenging moment?
Jennifer Kim
Age: 19
Hometown: Los Angeles, California
What was the most inspirational moment?
This moment revealed what the ride was about. As much as she touched our hearts, we were touching the hearts of those whose voices were and still are not heard. People forget how stigmatizing the HIV epidemic is because it is not talked about. Even though we do not realize this on a day-to-day basis, we have been acting as a beacon of hope for those whose voices have been drowned out. This moment affirmed my efforts and the reason why I was doing this ride in the first place.
Rachel Picard
Age: 20
Hometown: Nashua, New Hampshire
What was the biggest challenge?
Katelyn Stermer
What stands out from the ride?
I think this pairs well with the spirit of the Ride, to engage communities in conversations about the topic of HIV/AIDS and health equity where it may be outside their zone of familiarity. We can be educated, donate money, and support friends, but until we take a step toward action outside the boundaries of our current situation, there is no possibility for movement toward action.

"HP has lost its soul." -- HP CEO Leo Apotheker (Bloomberg Businessweek)
M.I.C. Gadget got its hands on what is likely a legit 64 GB iPhone prototype. Though, before you let your minds run wild, bear in mind it's a prototype of the iPhone 4 and not what ever Apple is cooking up next for its smartphone line. But at the very least, we know Apple will eventually roll out an iPhone with a larger capacity. (You know, to hold the increasing number of apps we're all downloading.) (M.I.C. Gadget)
- Could the Android app market be more profitable than Apple's? If Spacetime Studios' situation is anything to go by, then maybe. The Pocket Legends game maker publishes for both platforms but found that daily downloads for Android clocked in at 9,000, while iOS downloads only amounted to between 3,000 and 4,000, or less than half. As a result, Android has become the company's "primary interest." (Computerworld)<!-- more -->
- HP CEO Leo Apotheker gave a pretty frank interview with Bloomberg Businessweek (see above quote), taking a jab at his predecessor, Mark Hurd, by promising to treat India more as a market than a source of cheap labor, and reversing Hurd's emphasis on cost-cutting to improve product quality and spur home-grown technology. (Bloomberg Businessweek)
- Sprint is in talks again with T-Mobile USA about a potential merger, which if it goes through, would combine the third and fourth-largest mobile carriers in the U.S. However, whether that happens all depends on if the two can agree over T-Mobile's valuation. Owner Deutsche Telekom thinks T-Mobile USA is worth between $20 billion and $30 billion. Sprint? Not so much. (Wall Street Journal)
- Meet Zite, a new personalized iPad magazine developed by researchers at the University of British Columbia's Laboratory for Computational Intelligence that unlike say, the current version of Flipboard, adapts to user behavior and content preferences. All that back-end stuff factors in things like click-throughs, how long users linger on a story, and even the word semantics of text (ie. left wing blogger? Right wing?) to increasingly present content relevant and interesting to you. Available via iTunes now. (Zite)

Yamaha Motorcycles
Some of Yamaha's motorcycles include the Yamaha YZF-R1 and YZF-R6, the FJR1300 touring motorcycle, and the FZ1 and FZ6 street motorcycles. Yamaha's off-road motorcycles include the YZF motocross and WR endurance models.
Yamaha has been producing motorcycles since 1955, and they appeared on U.S. shores just three years later. Quickly adopted by racers, these great bikes have been winning races at virtually every level for decades. Today, Yamaha manufactures a huge variety of bikes for just about every purpose. Newer riders can choose from the likes of the diminutive C3 scooter, and unintimidating V Star 250 cruiser, while more experienced pilots can opt for the YFZ-R1 sportbike, the YZ450F motocrosser and dozens of other high performance machines. Yamaha is also aggressively adding to its already impressive fleet with models like the dual sport Super Tenere R1-inspired FZ8, and soon their new FZ-09. Yamaha fans can also draw inspiration from its many championship winning racers.

With Chris Brown supporting him on the track, the rapper says sorry for what he has done wrong, insisting he's just a human after all.
Hot on the heels of his 11-month jail sentencing, T.I. posted a brand new song called "Get Back Up" on his official website. The Atlanta rapper joins forces with his "Takers" co-star Chris Brown in this remorseful tune which is apparently an ode to his mistake.
"I'm only human, y'all," he raps. "I admit, yeah I've done some dumb sh**/ Disappointed everybody, I know/ Try not to hold that against me though, My road to redemption has no GPS/ So guess time must be invested for this to be manifested/ Yes, it's hard living life in the spotlight/ Trying to dodge the haters the same time as the cop light."
"Get Back Up" is one of the materials from T.I.'s upcoming seventh studio album "King Uncaged". The effort was actually to celebrate his freedom earlier this year after living in jail for weapons-possession charge. His recent legal woes for drug-possession charges, however, have conflicted with that celebration since he is expected to be back to prison at later date.

Soledad O'Brien Honored at YWCA USA Annual Conference in Washington, D.C., Tonight
Award-winning broadcast journalist, executive producer, advocate and philanthropist Soledad O'Brien will be awarded the Dorothy I. Height Award at the YWCA USA Annual Conference tonight, June 12, 2014 in Washington, D.C. at the Grand Hyatt Washington.
This award is presented to an individual who has had a national impact in the field of racial justice in the United States. Honorees are selected based on criteria that reflect Dr. Dorothy I. Height's significant civil rights contributions: service in a leadership role, commitment to racial equity and a high standard of courage, integrity and steadfastness in support of the YWCA's mission to eliminate racism and empower women.
"For more than two decades, Soledad O'Brien has brought issues of racial justice to the forefront, and right into our living rooms," said YWCA USA CEO Dara Richardson-Heron, M.D. "From her coverage of major news stories, like Hurricane Katrina and the Crisis in Haiti, to her examination of what it means to be black and Latino in America. Through her professional commitment to racial justice, and her personal mission to help disadvantaged young women across the country get a college education, Soledad O'Brien exemplifies the life and work of civil rights pioneer Dorothy Height, and we are honored that she will join us at the 2014 YWCA Annual Conference."
"I am humbled to receive an award named for civil rights icon Dr. Dorothy Height, who spoke out on issues of race, class and gender, and devoted her life to furthering justice and freedom for not only women, but for people of all races and gender," said Soledad O'Brien. "Journalism provided me with a national platform to talk about racial issues, to ask the tough questions and have those uncomfortable conversations, and I am committed to continuing that dialogue."
Soledad O'Brien is a dedicated philanthropist and advocate in the fields of racial justice. Over the past decade, she was at the forefront of the biggest news stories, and she was the originator of the critically acclaimed documentary series on race, Black in America and Latino in America. In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, O'Brien co-founded with her husband Brad Raymond "The Soledad O'Brien and Brad Raymond Starfish Foundation," which awards scholarships to 25 disadvantaged young women to attend college.
The Dorothy I. Height Award is presented as part of the annual YWCA Women of Distinction Awards, which celebrate women from across the United States who have demonstrated excellence, leadership, and integrity in their fields and in their communities, serving as role models for other successful women. For more than 150 years, the YWCA has honored leaders whose work has truly made an impact on women's empowerment and racial justice. In addition to the Dorothy I. Height award, the YWCA Women of Distinction Awards include honorees for contributions in four key areas of public life: Corporate Social Responsibility, Military/Veterans Affairs, Philanthropy and Policy, and Civic Engagement. Previous honorees at the Women of Distinction Awards gala include former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth, actress and activist Eva Longoria, philanthropist Patty Stonesifer, Sharon Love, co-founder of One Love Foundation, and Allstate Insurance Co.
About Soledad O'Brien: Over the past decade, Soledad O'Brien was integral in hosting and developing many award-winning documentaries for CNN, including Black in America and Latino in America; they both among the network's most successful international franchises. In 2013, O'Brien launched Starfish Media Group, a documentary production company that will develop programming for CNN, Al Jazeera America, HBO and other media outlets. O'Brien has reported on breaking news from around the globe. In 2011, she won an Emmy for Crisis in Haiti, a report on Haitian orphanages. O'Brien also received George Foster Peabody awards for her coverage of Hurricane Katrina and the BP Gulf Coast oil spill, and an Alfred I. duPont Award for her coverage of the Southeast Asia tsunami. In 2010, the National Association of Black Journalists named O'Brien Journalist of the Year. O'Brien is a Distinguished Visiting Fellow at Harvard University and is on the Board of Directors of the foundation for The National Archives.
About Dorothy I. Height: Dorothy I. Height was a civil rights and women's rights pioneer and activist who focused primarily on improving the circumstances of and opportunities for African-American women. She was a leader in addressing the rights of both women and African-Americans as the president of the National Council of Negro Women. For 33 years, Dr. Height served on the staff of the National Board of the YWCA of the USA and held several leadership positions. In 1965, she was appointed as the National Director of the Center for Racial Justice for the YWCA USA and tirelessly worked to desegregate all levels of the organization. In the 1990s, she advocated in the war against drugs, illiteracy and unemployment. Dr. Height received numerous honors including the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1994) and the Congressional Gold Medal (2004). She died on April 20, 2010 in Washington, D.C.
About the YWCA: The YWCA is The Voice for every woman. For more than 150 years, the YWCA has spoken out and taken action on behalf of women and girls. The YWCA is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all. Over 2 million people participate each year in YWCA programs at more than 1,300 locations across the U.S.

VA 'stakeholders' invited to session on Legionnaires' disease prevention efforts
Pittsburgh VA officials have asked congressional aides and veterans groups to an invitation-only "open house" event next week to show what's being done to prevent patients from contracting potentially deadly Legionnaires' disease.
VA leaders will conduct a tour, discuss Legionnaires' prevention efforts and "correct misinformation being reported by the media," according to an invitation sent to elected officials that the Tribune-Review obtained.
David Cowgill, chief spokesman for the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System, declined to elaborate Wednesday on the claim about media misinformation or release a list of the invitees. He said an afternoon gathering for reporters would follow the event at 10 a.m. Tuesday at the VA campus in O'Hara.
"We are hosting an informational session for our stakeholders, and this includes congressional offices, to discuss specific agenda items in regards to Legionella control and our continued efforts to create the safest health care environment possible for our nation's heroes to heal," Cowgill wrote in an email. "This session is one of several that we have hosted to help keep our stakeholders informed."
The offices of Reps. Mike Doyle, D-Forest Hills; Tim Murphy, R-Upper St. Clair; and Keith Rothfus, R-Sewickley, and Sens. Pat Toomey, R-Allentown, and Bob Casey Jr., D-Scranton, confirmed they will send representatives.
At least five patients died among the 21 veterans who the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention determined definitely or probably contracted Legionnaires' disease at the VA's University Drive hospital in Oakland and H.J. Heinz campus in O'Hara in 2011 and 2012. The CDC found water in the Pittsburgh VA had elevated levels of Legionella, the common bacteria that can cause the severe form of pneumonia when inhaled as mist from shower heads or other fixtures.
A Trib investigation this month found more veterans could have fallen ill from contamination at the VA Oakland hospital without having been documented as Legionnaires' patients. Elevated levels of Legionella bacteria were found in testing at least seven times at the hospital from 2007 to 2011, according to records the Trib obtained under a Freedom of Information Act request.
It wasn't until November 2012 that Pittsburgh VA officials publicly announced the outbreak and mandated a Legionnaires' test for pneumonia patients.
VA officials have for months declined requests for interviews and provided limited information for publication, ignoring phone calls that might require them to respond to questions about Legionella. Cowgill typically responds to Trib questions by email and ignores some questions.
Ron Conley, director of veterans affairs for Allegheny County, said the VA in the past "tried to lessen the bad publicity they've had by having meetings like this." He praised the VA Pittsburgh's overall track record for health care but expressed concern about the Legionnaires' outbreak.
"These incidents tarnish their image. I'd like to see that get fixed," he said.
Adam Smeltz is a staff writer for Trib Total Media. He can be reached at 412-380-5676 or email@example.com.

it has been suggested that my article HowTo:Build a Better Mousetrap be moved here. The current article portrays moustraps as animals which feed on mice; this concept has been executed (better) in articles like Gazebo and Toaster. i therefore propose replacing this page with the content of HowTo:Build a Better Mousetrap. i shall, of course, give any interested parties ample time to make a case for an alternate course of action. that is all. 19:14, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

For Online Computer Support, Ask a Computer Technician
Hello and thank you for using JustAnswer. My name is XXXXX XXXXX I will be assisting you today.
Are you still able to log in to your Facebook account? Were the messages personalized or generic?
Definitely change your password XXXXX report the event to Facebook.
Sometimes accounts are hacked and messages like this one are sent - it was likely not a person of any relation to you or your daughter in law, just some random person being malicious.
If it did happen to be someone personal, Facebook tracks IP addresses, which are addresses of your computer. If the address doesn't match, they would be able to find out where it was and take the appropriate steps to make sure it doesn't happen again. They would likely block the address from being able to access the site.
You can use the security area of Facebook to read about the different types of scenarios and file a report on the one that fits yours - you will probably have to enable your account again to be able to file.
Here is the link: http://www.facebook.com/help/?page=798#/help.php?page=420
I've seen this alot of facebook - my brother in law's account was compromised at one time too. It's frustrating...hope this helps a bit.

Microsoft Corp is set to announce its long-awaited "Project Pink" phones early next week, sources familiar with the matter said on Monday, as the world's largest software company attempts to gain traction in the growing market for young smartphone users.
The mobile phones, to be sold by top U.S. mobile operator Verizon Wireless, are being targeted at heavy users of social network sites, according to sources. They will have a different name when the launch is officially announced. In photos leaked to a tech blog last month (http://link.reuters.com/pes33j), the new phones appear to be stylish, updated versions of Microsoft's Sidekick device, which is popular with the youth market. The new phones, which likely won't be on the market until summer, are to be made by Sidekick manufacturer Sharp Corp, sources said. Microsoft has sent invitations to media to attend an event in San Francisco next Monday, but declined to comment further. A representative of Verizon Wireless, a joint venture between U.S. phone company Verizon Communications Inc and Vodafone Group plc, also declined comment. The new phone does not appear to be a central part of Microsoft's main thrust in the mobile phone market, which is centered on the revamp of the Windows software it licenses to handset makers, which will be available later this year.
Microsoft hopes its Windows Phone 7, launched with great fanfare in February, will win back share from BlackBerry maker Research in Motion Ltd and iPhone maker Apple Inc, and beat back newcomer Google Inc, which is making ground with Android-powered phones and its own Nexus One. Microsoft is losing share fast in the U.S. smartphone market, according to tech research firm comScore, dropping 4 percentage points to 15.1 percent between November and February. Ahead of it are Apple, with 25.4 percent, and Research in Motion with 42.1 percent. Google is the fastest-growing rival, now holding 9 percent of the market.
