Forum JWSS SDK v1.0 allows developers to administer and apply security policies within J2EE compliant Application Servers using a declarative security model and APIs for XML message authentication and authorization. The Application Server is then responsible for applying these security constraints to the code at runtime. Adding XML security within business logic prevents transactions from bypassing third-party enforcement points that would violate regulatory compliance or work flow security. Companies should complement this developer-centric approach with an "interception" model using a SOA Gateway or XML Firewall within a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) for a global and scalable SOA security and acceleration strategy.Unfortunately, the site itself doesn't say exactly where these APIs are held, unless they're distributed across each of the security products, which have free evaluation downloads available. One other handy reference from the site is a white paper entitled "An Adaptive Approach to Web Services Security," even though this paper was written in November 2004. (What's truly sad is that despite its age, it's still relevant.)

BOISE, Idaho — Idaho Republican Sen. Larry Craig will resign from the Senate amid a furor over his arrest and guilty plea in a police sex sting in an airport men's room, Republican officials said Friday.
Craig will announce at a news conference in Boise this morning that he will resign effective Sept. 30, GOP officials in Idaho and Washington told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity.
|Sen. Larry Craig
Word of the resignation came four days after the disclosure that Craig had pleaded guilty to a reduced misdemeanor charge arising out of his June 11 arrest during a lewd-conduct investigation at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
The three-term Republican senator had maintained that he did nothing wrong except for making the guilty plea without consulting a lawyer. But he found almost no support among Republicans in his home state or Washington. Although several Republicans familiar with internal deliberations said Idaho Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter favored Lt. Gov. Jim Risch as a replacement, both Otter aides and Risch said no decision had been made.
"I have not been promised the job of U.S. senator, nor has there even been a hint that the governor would appoint me to that position," Risch told the AP. "At this point in time, that discussion is very premature."
Mark Warbis, a spokesman for Otter, said the governor would not comment until he hears from Craig.

The National Asset Management Agency has criticised the Northern Ireland Assembly Finance Committee's report on the sale of NAMA's NI loan portfolio, known as Project Eagle.
In a letter addressed to the NI finance committee, NAMA Chairman Frank Daly was critical that no effort was made to contact his agency ahead of the publication of the report earlier this week.
In 2014 a US Investment company, Cerberus Capital Management, bought the NAMA portfolio of Northern Ireland-based debtors.
It had a book value of £4.5bn. The purchase price was not disclosed but NAMA said at the time it was the biggest single transaction in the agency's history.
In his letter, Mr Daly said the NI finance committee contradicts itself in the report when it states it was dissatisfied by NAMA's decision not to appear before it to give evidence.
He said: "It has always been NAMA's position that we are accountable to the Oireachtas" and that the NI committee itself acknowledges this in its report.
Mr Daly added that NAMA had been fully cooperative with the NI committee following the sale, including providing transcripts of NAMA's appearance before the Oireachtas Public Accounts Committee, and giving "detailed and prompt responses in writing to the 105 questions that the Committee put to it".
Furthermore, the NAMA chairman also takes issue with point that the NI finance committee stated NAMA should have suspended the sales process for the Project Eagle loan portfolio.
He said there had been little interest from investors in the loan portfolio and the NAMA board "took the view that a loan sale would eliminate the risks, uncertainties and costs associated with a protracted workout of the portfolio".
Mr Daly added that "if the Project Eagle portfolio had not achieved NAMA's required reserve price, NAMA would not have proceeded with the sale".
He also highlighted that any delay in the sale could have adversely affected the economies on both sides of the border.
The final aspect of the NI finance committee's report that NAMA took issue with was in relation to comments in it attributed to former NAMA Northern Ireland Advisory Committee member Brian Rowntree.
The report claimed Mr Rowntree said external members of the NIAC had access to confidential information on Project Eagle.
Mr Daly rejected this claim by citing multiple media reports in which Mr Rowntree denied he had access to any confidential information.
However, the NAMA Chairman did say he shared the NI committee's concerns about alleged events surrounding the sale of the loan portfolio.
Noonan must answer questions on NI NAMA sale - McDonald
Earlier, Sinn Féin deputy leader Mary Lou McDonald called on Minister for Finance Michael Noonan to come before the Dáil when it sits on 22 March to answer questions about the sale of the Project Eagle loans.
She was speaking alongside Chairperson of the NI finance committee Daithí McKay, following the publication of the Assembly's inquiry report on the sale of NAMA's northern loan book.
Ms McDonald claimed NAMA has "sung dumb" on the report and its chairman Frank Daly also has questions to answer.
Asked what questions Minister Noonan has to answer, she said that he should explain why he allowed the sales process to continue when he knew it had been corrupted.
She also said he must address why he allowed the sales process to continue when the Northern Ireland executive had difficulties around the first bidder.

The Plan
It's one thing to make the decision to do something; it's another to actually get it done. Miles sure seems to think the odds aren't in their favor considering storming a ship in deep water is a rather impossible task, but how can you say no to Charlie's rather manipulative speech about how she knows that there is a good chance that they may never rescue Danny. Whether she believes this or not, it was enough to make Miles feel bad enough to agree to rescue at least one brother this season. But maybe next time let's come up with a better plan, one that doesn't involve Charlie getting punched in the face before being "recruited." What could go wrong with that?
That actually makes two weeks in a row of planning that winds up getting her punched in the face, but this time around she only really has herself to blame since she came up with the plan herself, including the later, split-second decision-making to catalyze a knockout blow in order to get to the infirmary (and closer to a set of keys). Couldn't she just feign a sprained ankle? It worked so well for Jason before, and involves far less brain damage.
The effort was valiant, but it is pretty funny that each week when the plan inevitably goes south Miles runs in with sword swinging to save the day. Why exactly isn't this the plan? It would save everyone a whole lot of trouble, that's for sure.
Aaron and the Pendant
Granted Miles did have the help of a pretty substantial distraction. The pendant has been quiet for a while now, but it sure knows how to pick its moments. The first time it was feeling rather sentimental and gave Maggie the opportunity to see her kids one last time, and now it saw that everyone fighting their way off the ship needed a bit of help so BAM! Lighthouse back in action.
That pendant is quite the power to hold in your hands, and if there is one thing made clear it is that Aaron should not be the one holding on to it. He's actually really lucky that it's still in his possession considering the boy this week wasn't the first to take it from him. Jason had it back in his prisoner days, and according to next week's preview this was not the last incident. Way to fail, Aaron. Your cred built up from last week is waning fast, even if you did knock out that guy and save the kids in the lighthouse.
Don't You Touch My Children!
Maybe it's for the best that these kids don't have any parents, because if they were still here they would just be screwing everything up in order to protect their children. Take Rachel: in order to protect Danny from being tortured, she gives up information about the pendants to Monroe. Long story short, this leads to the capture of a pendant owner, as well as their child being kidnapped in order to get information out of him. When you think about it, it seems that the one trick the militia has is kidnapping family members (see next week when Nora's sister is kidnapped).
This isn't even the biggest offense caused by a similar situation. During the flashbacks that show a brief glimpse of backstory in the accidental creation of the off switch, we learn that Danny's asthma (that has seemingly disappeared) was the least of his drama considering he had some rather large issues before he was even born. Longer story short, Rachel caused the blackout in order to save her child, thus presenting the irony in Ben's statement that the contract for this project was the one thing keeping their power on for another month. Way to go, Rachel. You fail harder than Aaron.
Final Thoughts
With Peter Pan back with his Lost Boys, it's time to get back on track to finding Danny. In other words, time for another bump in the road to keep the group from reaching the end goal anytime soon. Granted if the show continues on as it has for the past two weeks, it shouldn't be too painful to keep at the pace Revolution is moving at. But please, give us more time with Grace. The brief glimpse of her locked up and reveal of Randall as the Department of Defense agent from the flashbacks was hardly enough! So what did you think of "The Children's Crusade"? Let me know your thoughts on this episode, and all things Revolution, down in the comment section below.

A Romanian car thief has been caught red-handed attempting to cross the Nagylak border in Hungary with a stolen BMW X6 in the rear of his Volkswagen panel van.
> Rather than hotwiring the in-demand SUV and hotfooting it across Europe, the creative crim decided to slice up his stolen goods and pack them in the rear of an unassuming VW LT van, under the guise that he was merely transporting scrap parts.
According to Police.hu, the thief stole the white X6 in Italy before taking an angle grinder to the German 4x4 and packing as many parts as he could inside his van.
He managed to get out of Italy, across to Austria and through Slovenia before border forces in Hungary decided to take a closer look at his fishy cargo. The authorities quickly became suspicious of the surprisingly fresh chopped up X6 and ran the Vehicle identification Number through the system, only to find it had been stolen a few days earlier.
The Italian authorities are currently investigating the case.

411's WWE Superstars Report 12.09.12
Commentators: Matt Striker & Scott Stanford
Championship's roll call: WWE Champion: CM Punk… World Champion: Big Show… Intercontinental Champion: Kofi Kingston… United States Champion: Antonio Cesaro… Tag Team Champions: Team Hell No… NXT Champion: Seth Rollins… Diva's Champion: Eve Torres
Zack Ryder vs. Tensai: Tensai continues to free-fall down the card. They lock up and Tensai powers him into the corner and pummels him there. The ref tries to keep the big guy back but he is relentless, hitting a short clothesline. Ryder tries to fight back with a dropkick but it's no-sold. Tensai continues the onslaught so Ryder Cactus Clothesline's him to the floor. Tensai is none too pleased here as he heads back into the ring; Ryder gets a few punches in before getting freight trained by a shoulderblock. Tensai hits a clothesline and drops an elbow immediately following; Ryder barely had time to bounce off the mat on his landing from the clothesline before Tensai was dropping on him. He hits a head-butt and drops more elbows, for two. He locks up a chinlock and maintains it as the fans fall asleep. Tensai releases of his own volition, head-butts and drops knees a little, and then applies a neck crank. After commercial, Tensai nails hits a flapjack like move. He entangles Ryder's arm in the ropes and then moves onto a kneeling armbar. God this is painful, all rest holds. If there is any doubt that Tensai's motivation and workrate have suffered due to his sliding down the card, I present this match as proof. Ryder counters a charge in the corner with an elbow but Tensai comes right back with an uppercut. Tensai tries a suplex but Ryder slips free and hits some lunging shoulderblocks. He gets the big guy off his feet. Ryder tries the double-knees in the corner but Tensai blocks and pulls him to the mat. Tensai tries a Vader Bomb but Ryder gets his feet up. He charges in the corner but Ryder dropkicks his knees out and sets up the Broski Boot. Tensai counters that too, backdropping Ryder onto the apron; he hangs Tensai off the top ropes, positioning him in the 619 spot, and hits the Broski Boot along the apron. Innovative. He hits the second-rope missile dropkick and gets only two. Ryder flashes the "LI" symbol but Tensai turns the Rough Ryder into the Baldo Bomb. The running senton ends the match. 2/10 Boring match with a hot ending; the last minute of this match was entertaining, where Zack took over on O, which shows you something about these two superstars. The ending cannot make up for the first seven minutes of non-action.
Here is your winner… Tensai @ about 8:10 (broadcast) via senton splash pinfall.
Raw Recap of the entire pre-lie detector promo with CM Punk lie detector segment with The Miz is shown. After that we move onto the John Cena/Sheamus versus Dolph Ziggler/Big Show match and storylines. For my full Raw review, click here.
"Funkasaurus" Brodus Clay (w/Cameron & Naomi) vs. David Otunga: Hornswoggle comes out to be the guest timekeeper, Natalya comes out to be the special announcer, and the Great Khali comes out to be the special referee… for some indiscernible reason. I don't believe he's feuding with Otunga unless I missed something. This match could conceivably go on forever because it will take Khali about thirty seconds to get down to count a pinfall. They lock up and Clay tosses Otunga into the corner; Khali asks for a break and Clay is a bit perplexed. Khali points to the referee shirt. Where'd they get a referee shirt that big anyway? Otunga seizes the opportunity and kicks away. The advantage does not last long as Brodus takes over with a knee, hits a reverse elbow in the corner, a belly-to-belly suplex, and then drops an elbow. At least Scott Stanford brings the history up here, where Otunga injured Clay's ankle back at the No Way Out PPV, so this isn't totally pointless. Now we pack a little more lower-midcard storyline into this match, as Rosa Mendes marches out with flowers for Hornswoggle; she beats the little guy up with them so Nattie comes to his aid. The divas catfight on the floor as Otunga gets tossed to the floor as well. Hornswoggle enjoys the fight on the floor as do Khali and Clay; Otunga uses the opportunity to attack Clay from behind. He sledges away but makes the mistake of flexing to the crowd. Clay begins a comeback with clotheslines and the Funky Avalanche; the My Bad Suplex sets up a phone call to Clay's momma and the Splat. Khali counts the three FROM HIS FEET thus verifying my theory that he could not get to his knees to count the pinfall. Post-match, the Oddities 2012 dance with little kids. 5.5/10 The match was a backdrop to the other fifty things going on during this match. Rarely do we get any storylines advancing on Superstars, so I'll take that when I can get it. Superstars is a place where these lower-midcard stories can develop. Kudos to the WWE for trying to make a normally mundane squash match fun.
Here is your winner… Brodus Clay @ about 6:10 via Splat pinfall.
The show concludes with the ENTIRE lie detector segment with CM Punk, Ryback, Team Hell No, and The Shield to close.
OVERALL 4/10 Better than last week; the Ryder/Tensai affair was painful but the Clay/Otunga fiasco was much more fun and entertaining. Still not where this show used to be but much more enjoyable this week.

AUSTIN — State Fire Marshal Chris Connealy said the key to preventing another disaster like the one that struck West nearly one year ago is straightforward.
"We have to keep fire away from ammonium nitrate; all the best practices keep going to that point,'' he told legislators on Monday.
Connealy is recommending that the state require fertilizer facilities that handle ammonium nitrate to either store the chemical compound in fire-resistant structures with noncombustible bins or install automatic sprinkler systems.
The April 17, 2013, explosion at the West Fertilizer Co. killed 15 people and injured more than 300. The fire began in a wood structure and the ammonium nitrate was stored in wooden bins.
Rep. Joe Pickett, chairman of the House Homeland Security and Public Safety Committee, said Connealy's proposal is expected to be included in a draft version of a bill that would be rolled out this summer for debate. The Legislature, which meets every other year in regular session, convenes in January.
"Could this save some lives?" Pickett, an El Paso Democrat, asked Connealy.
"Oh, absolutely," he replied.
Monday's meeting featured the most detailed discussion of possible law changes since the panel last year began to delve into the explosion. However, it remains unclear how much interest the Republican-controlled Legislature will have next year in adopting more regulations on agribusiness.
Pickett said he believes he can get a bill crafted in response to the West explosion approved by the committee and the full House.
A chief reason, said Pickett, is that he does not support trying to persuade his colleagues to enact a statewide fire code. A "narrow" bill aimed at ammonium nitrate safety would have a considerably higher chance of getting though both chambers and being signed by the governor, he added.
The draft version of the bill would give companies three years to comply with the new requirements, Pickett said. The State Fire Marshal's Office would have the authority to enforce the law, he said.
Because water supplies can be a problem in rural areas without distribution systems, it may be cheaper for facilities to replace wooden buildings with those made of concrete, stone or metal instead of putting in sprinkler systems, Connealy said.
"With these businesses, the profit margin is slim. We have reassured them we are not trying to put them out of business; just the opposite. We want to keep them in business. Farmers need fertilizer. That said, there has to be some changes if you want to prevent another West," he said.
Texas is among a handful of states that don't have a statewide fire code. Cities and counties with codes can require fertilizer facilities that handle ammonium nitrate to either store the chemical compound in a fire-resistant structure or install a fire suppression system.
But state law allows counties to adopt a fire code only if they have a population greater than 250,000, or are adjacent to such a county. That means 173 of Texas' 254 counties are excluded, The News reported last year.
Connealy has said he can't require facility owners in unincorporated areas of counties without fire codes to make changes. Instead, his inspectors have given them documents outlining "best practices" for storing ammonium nitrate.
He said 46 such facilities have wood-frame construction. Connealy did not list them. Committee members did not ask for their locations.
Reached after the meeting, the state Department of Insurance said Texas law bars the agency from disclosing the names and locations of facilities that store ammonium nitrate. The State Fire Marshal's Office is part of the insurance department.
"Information about materials that can be used to make an explosive device is not public information," agency spokesman Jerry Hagins said.
The State Fire Marshal's Office expects to release a report next month on the deaths of the West volunteer firefighters, Connealy said. State law requires the fire marshal's office to investigate the deaths of firefighters in the line of duty.
The News reported last year that members of the West Volunteer Fire Department knew ammonium nitrate fertilizer was stored at the West Fertilizer Co. but said they'd always heard it was a stable chemical. They said they didn't know how explosive it became at high temperatures. The fertilizer was never flagged as a danger at fire department meetings.
Connealy also told the committee that the cause of the fire at the West Fertilizer Co. remains under investigation.
Authorities have announced three possible causes — a golf cart whose battery may have overheated, the plant's 120-volt electrical system or arson.
Even though the cause of the fire isn't known, Connealy walked members of the committee through the steps leading to the explosion that involved a combustible material — wood.
"At West, the fire originated in the seed room. While there were other combustibles, it also had a wood-frame structure that keeps it upright. That's consumed by the fire. The fire grows; it goes to the ammonium nitrate bin; the bin is made out of wood. So that catches fire. The ammonium nitrate progressively gets more unstable.
"And then when the roof supports burn away, because it's wood-frame construction, the roof collapses into the ammonium nitrate pile," he said.
But one legislator questioned how the operators of fertilizer facilities would react to any proposed changes in state law governing how they do business.
Rep. Dan Flynn, R-Van, said he's heard that some "old timers" who handle ammonium nitrate say they "don't want to change anything." He said some have discussed how they used to weld or smoke near stores of ammonium nitrate and nothing happened.
Flynn asked why there haven't been many incidents like the West explosion in Texas.
"What has kept that from happening — luck?"
"I would have to say yes, quite frankly," Connealy replied.

Is nonprofit-funded investigative reporting sustainable?
Posted: Mon, April 11, 2011
By Rem Rieder Rem Rieder (email@example.com) is AJR's editor and senior vice president.
The daughter of the interview subject overheard the conversation and didn't like the way things were going. She stormed downstairs, slapped Laker twice across her face, grabbed her notebook and tossed it across the room.
The startled reporter wisely decided it was time to go. She rushed out of the house but not before retrieving her notebook.
As she raced to her car, she called her reporting partner on the project, Wendy Ruderman, to tell her about the unsettling development. But she also was quick to reassure her. "Don't worry," Laker said. "I got the notebook."
Laker and Ruderman discussed their project, on rogue cops in Philly, on a panel over the weekend at the fifth annual Reva and David Logan Investigative Reporting Symposium. The event, put on by the Investigative Reporting Program at the University of California, Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism, was simply one of the best events of its kind I've ever attended. Props to noted investigative reporter Lowell Bergman, who runs the program, and his deputy, Marlena Telvick, for putting on a first-rate conference.
Laker and Ruderman were on a panel called "True Grit: When the Story Bites Back," about the consequences that hard-hitting reporting can have for the people who do it. Their appearance was a high point for me because it perfectly reflected the passion and courage that journalists bring to this important work, and because these two do that work not for a media behemoth but for a woefully understaffed big city tabloid.
But there was no shortage of highlights. There were panels on big picture topics like WikiLeaks (including Mr. Julian Assange via Skype) and 9/11 10 years later. One of the strengths of these discussions was that they included a wide range of points of view, including that of law enforcement. It wasn't just preaching to the converted.
Perhaps the most germane event of the weekend was the finale Sunday morning, on the state of nonprofit investigative reporting. As battered legacy news outlets have cut back, one of the major casualties has been investigative journalism, a costly and time-consuming and critically important enterprise. One of the bright spots in recent years has been the dramatic expansion of philanthropy-funded accountability reporting, ranging from well-endowed newcomers like ProPublica to beefed-up veterans like the Center for Investigative Reporting and the Center for Public Integrity to an array of small, locally focused operations.
They are doing important work. They are a source of hope. But can they go the distance? As my friend Edward Wasserman, the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation professor of journalism ethics at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia, pointed out at a similar session in the same room at the same conference three years ago, "Going to rich people periodically asking for money isn't a real business model."
Robert Rosenthal, executive director of the Center for Investigative Reporting, was basking in the glow of his outfit's 19-month project, "On Shaky Ground," on lax enforcement of earthquake safety standards for California public schools. The report was picked up by a wide variety of news organizations on a wide variety of platforms.
"There's no question we can do great journalism," Rosenthal said, referring not just to his own outfit but the world of nonprofit investigative journalism in general. But that, he added, is no guarantee of survival.
Rosenthal's center doesn't rely only on philanthropy; it has a number of, you should forgive the expression, revenue streams. For example, the center charges for-profit enterprises for using its work. But the money that brings in is a small fraction of the cost of the reporting.
"I can't sit here and tell you this is sustainable," he said. "It's going to take everyone in this room to figure it out."
Representing the benefactors on the panel was Calvin Sims, a former New York Times reporter who is now a program officer at the Ford Foundation. "My hand is out," Bergman said as he introduced Sims. "There are a lot of hands out here," Sims replied.
And Ford can't deposit big checks in all of those hands. As it distributes its largesse, Sims said, the foundation looks for "big influence and impact," for the "value added of the content you produce."
Bullish on the future was Richard Tofel, the general manager of ProPublica. Tofel seemed to argue that, Wasserman to the contrary, asking rich people for money was a business model. He said flat-out that philanthropy was the key to how the nonprofits will endure.
The key question, he said, is do people see the need? And it's clear to him that they do. Tofel said there has been a "market failure" as far as producing some vital types of journalism is concerned. And there is a recognition that investigative journalism has to be funded as a public good, like art museums and ballet companies.
That doesn't mean, of course, that all of the nonprofits will make it. But in Tofel's view, many of them will.
Let's hope he's right.

An Art Deco inspired copper and  peacock feather wedding cake. I am in love with this era and have long thought about designing a cake that is reflective of the Art Deco fashions. Metallics were highly used in fashion and home decor as were sequins and highly prized peacock feathers. Offset the tiers add an extra dimension to the cake and create a tiered effect in which the feathers cascade beautifully down.

Please could you advise the cost of the copper peacock cake.
many thanks
Good website! I really love how it is easy on my eyes and the data are well written. I'm wondering how I might be notified whenever a new post has been made. I've subscribed to your RSS feed which must do the trick! Have a nice day!
Wow! Stunning cake. Could you do a three tier of this cake?
What would the cost be?
Is it okay to place a portion of this on my personal web site if perhaps I publish a reference to this web-site?

Dennis Mouton III was convicted Wednesday in the August 2001 death of 47-year-old Michael Pauling. He had faced up to 99 years in prison.
Pauling was killed early Aug. 2, 2001, after he stopped along Highway 73 east of Highway 82 in Port Arthur to help a woman.
She had been arguing with Mouton, who was her boyfriend, and he was in a nearby car with their two young children. Pauling went to check on the children and Mouton sped off, throwing the officer to the roadway, killing him.
Pauling had been a game warden since 1996. He was the 14th game warden to die in the line of duty since 1919.

AUSTELL - Neighborhoods, schools and even roller coasters at Six Flags over Georgia remained awash in several feet of murky, brown water Tuesday, even as an emerging sun shed light on the widespread flood damage.
So far, at least nine deaths in Georgia and Alabama were blamed on the torrential downpours in the Southeast. The storms finally relented and relief was in sight with just a slight chance of rain overnight, but the onslaught left many parts of the region in stagnant water.
Several hundred people in Georgia took refuge at shelters, and officials worked to clean up and repair washed out roads and bridges. Georgia officials estimated $250 million in damages.
The storms left nine people dead in their wake, including a toddler swept from his father's arms. On Tuesday, rescuers found the body of 14-year-old Nicholas Osley who was swimming in the Chattooga River, along with another woman who was swept from her car in Douglas County.
Authorities also released a 15-minute 911 call of another storm victim's last moments. Seydi Burciaga, 39, screamed to a dispatcher as water rose to her neck. The dispatcher advised her to try to break a window, but she couldn't.
"I don't want to drown here, please!" Burciaga said.
After several days of steady rain, the ground was saturated from Alabama through Georgia into Eastern Tennessee and Western North Carolina. The floods came just months after an epic two-year drought in the region ended with winter rains.
Georgia emergency officials warned residents not to return to their homes too soon because the lingering water still was dangerous. Some ignored officials and had to be rescued.
"We had people who were out safely but decided they wanted to get back in danger," said Charley English, head of the Georgia Emergency Management Division.

A plan to roll back a voter-approved ban on smoking in public places died weeks ago in the Nevada Legislature, but lobbyists for the gambling and tourism industries are using the last few days of the 2009 session to try to bring it back to life.
The original bill, SB372 would have softened the Nevada Clean Indoor Air Act, passed by voters in 2006, by fine-tuning just where smoking should be prohibited. Lobbyists wanted to allow smoking in bars that serve food as long as minors are restricted from entry, but the bill died when it failed to pass out of the Assembly Judiciary Committee.
That didn't stop lobbyists from reviving part of the plan on Saturday to allow smoking at tobacco trade conventions. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority sought the change because some groups with tobacco industry ties canceled Nevada conventions after the ban too effect.
The amendment was suggested for AB309, with deals with the crime of stalking.
"I looked at every single bill on the list," said Jim Wadhams, lobbyist for the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. "We're still looking for an opportunity. The stalking bill has to do with crimes, and the amendment has to be on a bill that deals with the criminal statutes."
Earlier in the week, there was attempt to attach the failed measure to AB229, a bill dealing with fire-safe cigarettes. But the bill sponsor, Assemblyman John Oceguera, D-Las Vegas, said he told other lawmakers that wouldn't be a friendly amendment to his bill.
"The smoking issue is very controversial bill, so I didn't want it attached to mine because it might have killed it," Oceguera said.
The first attempt to add the smoking provision onto the stalking bill was blocked because legal counsel said the smoking issue was not germane to the bill's purpose.
But late Saturday, legislative lawyers revised their opinion and said the amendment could work because both the bill and amendment deal with crimes.
Assemblywoman Bonnie Parnell, D-Carson City, chairwoman of a subcommittee considering the plan, said a majority of the subcommittee members agreed to back the amendment providing they had a green light from their lawyers. But Parnell said she may not sign on to the change.
"I don't have a problem with that part of the bill, but I don't like the way it was handled," Parnell said. "It came up at the last minute."
Parnell had the new amended language in hand Saturday night, and said it was likely to come up for discussion Sunday on the Assembly floor.
Assembly Judiciary Chairman Bernie Anderson, D-Sparks, said he would probably go along with the measure, even though he stood in the way of the originial SB372.
"It's the section of the bill that was least controversial," Anderson said of the amendment. "The only people that would be going to the conventions would be smokers."
Asked whether he was concerned that other portions of the bill may resurface in the next two days, Anderson said he thought there was too little time.
"But I could be wrong," he added.

BAGHDAD, Dec. 1 (UPI) -- An Iraqi lawmaker said Kuwait is "draining" Iraq's budget because of reparations payments stemming from Iraq's 1990 invasion.
"Kuwait is still draining Iraq's potentials, through scoring billions of U.S. dollars, due to its invasion by the former Iraqi regime, being a total punishment for the Iraqi people, who had no guilt due to the policies of the former regime," Aliya Nusief of the Iraqi Parliament said in a statement, Aswat al-Iraq news agency reported.
Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990 during the regime of Saddam Hussein.
Nusief said Iraq has paid more than $27.6 billion to Kuwait since 1994.
"We don't know if Kuwait would be satisfied with this continuous drainage of the Iraqi people's potentials," Nusief said.
"This Kuwaiti persistence to punish the Iraqi people may cause seeds of hatred and harm relations between both countries to an extent that won't be settled."

chapter 1.
I was new... I was young and I was SO naive and ignorant.
At first, he said he liked me, then he said that he loved me. Now, he said that he adored me... that I was the only one for him... that I was his queen, goddess, and empress...
After a while, I was happy; I really did truly trust and love him.
Then after those happy moments past... he started to change.
At first, it wasn't really something noticeable: he still talked to me, but he didn't say that he loved or adored me anymore. He didn't even say that he liked me anymore.
Usually, some one would ignore these things... but I could tell that something was wrong... that something wasn't right.
I should have known that it was never meant to be. Why was I so stupid!! Why didn't I see it coming!? I know you probably think that what I'm about to do is dumb, but what a girls got to do, a girls got to do.
I'm not telling you exactly where I'm going, but I'm just going to say this... Good Bye... I promise I'll be back, but I just don't know when.
I just want to ask two thing: One- Why does reality suck? Two- Why is life a bi**h (not to mention love)?----------- Sincerely, Jessica Aka, Jessy
P.s- I'll tell you some thing else that will surely happen.. when I come back, you people won't recognize me because HE wasn't the only one who caused all of this to happen.
~P.O.V- Katie~
I read the note once, twice, then three times. Each time I read it, it hurt me even more than the last time. I would have never guessed that Jessy would ever do this, and I mean it. This doesn't seem like some thing she would do. I began to cry uncontrollably. I must've been crying real loud because my parents came to check on me.
"What's wrong honey?" asked my mom. I wanted to answer her, but I was crying too much and too hard, "Mom J-J-Jessy!" I waved the note at my parents. They didn't get the hint to grab the note. "Mom dad Je-Jessy r-ran-away!!" I said half crying and half screaming.
It took them a while, but they finally got the 'hint.' they yanked the note away from me and they began to read it. When they were done reading it, my mom fell to the floor and started crying real loud, even louder than me. My dad started trembling and shaking, literally. Of course, I was still crying too. I just couldn't believe this was happening.
Now, we really must've been making noise because everyone in the house came to Jessy's room. Every one was right their standing in the door-way looking at us, even HIM.
It was him who started this, its was HIS fault!!
Why hello their this is short but its to start it of xD please comment and vote and tell me how its going
should i keep going? should i stop? you ppl like it or hate it?
Badass Chick (ON HOLD)Random
At first, she is like any body else; afraid to show everyone how she really is. But, not because she is afraid no one will like her, but because their are troubles restraining her. Family problems that she can not say to anybody; she has suffered so...

Clean Feed – The Nutro™ Way
I have been sharing my passion for CLEAN FOOD™ for as long as I can remember. It is not only the title of my first book, it is my approach to making healthy choices day in and day out. Everyone in my family is on board (especially if they want to eat!), and that includes my best friend and dog, Stöckli.
When The Nutro™ Brand asked me to partner with them to support their new philosophy on clean food for dogs and join their advisory board, I was honored. And now that I have spent the past several months getting to know this company that is dedicated to sourcing real ingredients, forming relationships with trustworthy partners, and developing non-GMO* dog food, I am more than impressed. I am a fan.
This clean food journey has been equally as much about teaching individuals to make healthy choices, as it has been about making clean food accessible and creating a food system that sustains the good health of ourselves and our environment. Clean food has never been a prescribed diet, but rather about helping people to navigate the landscape of ever-changing messages about health and wellness, and make the choices that best serve their unique constitution. When a large company like Nutro dedicates themselves to this same value, it is a powerful impetus for change – one that I can definitely get behind. This is a company that's putting heart into their choices, and empowering others to do the same.
I am proud to announce this partnership with Nutro™ and Mars Petcare, and grateful for a food that makes it easy for Stöckli to eat clean, too.
To all of my two and four-legged friends,
Eat Clean Live Well!

The Gift of Time
This was supposed to be about the heartwarming day I watched my daughter teach my niece how to make challah. But last week, as I was in my car listening to the radio, an old Jim Croce song came on that got me thinking. And when I sat down to write, I realized that some things are more important even than challah.
Every holiday, I try to think of what would make the perfect gift for each person on my list. Often there are homemade gifts (vanilla extract, mason jars of homemade granola, dehydrated herbs from my garden, and this year a bottle of dried astragalus root for my mom – shhh….). But as I think about the gifts I gave and received this past year, what I remember more than anything else is the time – the time shared gathered around the dining room table celebrating birthdays, the time in the kitchen kneading sourdough with friends, the cheering on the sidelines, the clapping in the audience, the hikes, the skiing, the laughter, and even the crying. Time is the gift that leaves the biggest imprint on my heart. Time is the gift I want to figure out how to package this year and give to everyone I love.
So thank you Jim Croce for reminding me. Because as a child, I knew all the lyrics and sang about time in a bottle without giving it another thought. But today, when I realized what I wanted to give to those I love this holiday season and always, I was reminded that I had been singing it all along.
If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
'Til eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you
If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you
These are among my most treasured gifts of 2016, and it's the promise of more time shared and more memories created in the year ahead that I already cherish.
If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you.
With thanks to all for helping to make clean food memories together.

GREEN BAY - There would be no Legend of Joe Webb authored on the fabled tundra of Lambeau Field on Saturday night.
It was more like a laughable edition of Football Follies, starring the fumbling bumbling Minnesota Vikings.
Let's be honest here. Even if Vikings No. 1 quarterback Christian Ponder had started Saturday's wild-card showdown against Green Bay on this frigid evening, the visitors would have been hard-pressed to beat a much more talented Packers team.

The Coast Guard searched overnight and about 4 a.m. Wednesday found two men reported overdue on a sailboat trip from Dana Point to Catalina Island.
The boaters were located south of Catalina, in good condition and in no distress, a Coast Guard official said.
A Coast Guard cutter crew escorted the men to Avalon Harbor in Catalina.
Albert Bosco and Kirk Williams left Dana Point for Avalon Harbor on a 26-foot sailboat Monday morning, said Coast Guard Petty Officer 1st Class Adam Eggers. They were last heard from when they contacted relatives by cellphone about 5 p.m. Monday and reported they were about 9 miles from Catalina.
They had told relatives to contact the Coast Guard if they had not returned by 5 p.m. Tuesday, Eggers said.
Patrol boats from the Coast Guard, Dana Point and Catalina Island took part in the search, along with a Coast Guard C-130 Hercules aircraft from Sacramento that had been in the area for another mission. The pilots of the MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter from San Diego are equipped with night-vision goggles, Eggers said.
Eggers said that seas in the area of the search were calm.
It was unknown if the sailboat was equipped with a marine radio and safety equipment such as life vests, he said.

Cheers to all.
Pounding red wine as we speak.
Been getting jerked around (in a bad way) with my latest job prospects...
Had four interviews with a company over the span of six weeks. Everything progressed well, I got great feedback in the interviews, and they told me "they wanted to get the ball rolling" on things and not drag their feet. They also made no mention of them considering other candidates. Four weeks pass since the fourth interview and I still haven't heard diddly squat. Not being too pushy, I sent a polite email on Friday to check in and see the progress of my candidacy. As of today, I still haven't heard anything. I'm getting really sick of trying to get my foot in the door in the business world whatsoever. I have been out of college to long to be this stuck in the mud.
Any other degenerates on a Tuesday night?
Closer I get to the 25th, the more I drink, sucks being miles away from the family.

HAVANA, Cuba - Cuba says that a second exploratory offshore oil well has proved unviable, dealing another setback to the island's dreams of petroleum riches.
A statement published Monday in Communist Party newspaper Granma says the drilling operation carried out by Malaysia's PC Gulf and Russia's Gazpromneft concluded July 31.
Analysis of the findings reveals an "active petroleum system" but one that is incapable of providing significant quantities of oil and gas.
Monday's statement from government-owned oil company Cubapetroleo says it "cannot be qualified as a commercial discovery."
It is the second well this year to come up dry.
The Scarabeo-9 rig that carried out both explorations now passes to Venezuelan state oil company PDVSA for another attempt.

The Tcl::Tk submodule of the Tcl module gives access to
the Tk library. It does this by creating a Tcl
interpreter object (using the Tcl extension) and binding
in all of Tk into the interpreter (in the same way that
wish or other Tcl/Tk applications do).
Access to the Tcl and Tcl::Tk extensions
To get access to the Tcl and Tcl::Tk extensions, put the
require Tcl;
use Tcl::Tk;
near the top of your program. The Tcl extension does not
alter your namespace at all (hence the "require"). The
Tcl::Tk extension imports the widget and other Tk commands
into your namespace (hence the "use").

Loving You
Loving you is easy!
You speak sweet words
and do sweet things.
It's more than I deserve!
You hold me and touch
me and make me feel loved!
You are all I truly need.
You love me so deeply
and serve me so sweetly!
Anything I ask - you do
with such love.
You say you've always
loved me and always will!
Wow! How wonderful I feel!
You are the greatest guy
in the world!
I always feel beautiful
when I'm with you.
Your love is always
You're the best
and I truly feel blessed.
God really blessed me
richly when He
gave you to me.
I thank Him for loving
me through the gift of you.

Budget woes force Valley Mental Health to cut up to 2,200 patients
watchtheweather salt lake, UTJuly 9, 2013 8:05 p.m.
to Keep em Honest: RIGHT ON. You are exactly correct. Valley has been straining to continue providing services with greatly reduced funds from Optum/united. Valley has streamlined, reduced waste, and now they are faced with having to reduce services. How can we expect them to provide services without being paid? Especially when Optum gets paid and provides nothing! It is simple: Optum is a middle man, and a very, very expensive one. They are For Profit, and they suck dollars out of the system. Salt Lake County pays them and then they turn around and contract with Valley to provide the services. Again, Optum provides nothing except profit to their stock holders and their employees. Where does the Optum profit come from? It comes on the backs of the patients and clients. Salt Lake County has really turned their backs on their citizens, and they should be ashamed. So should Optum/United..

With this new Salt Lake County arrangement, hopefully Salt Lake clients will have greater options in obtaining counseling services without a decline in quality services.

Sequester one IRS conference, and Obama's African vacation, than Valley Mental Health would not have to cut up to 2,200 patients.
Thousands could go to college, while many others would gain health insurance.
Keep em honest Kaysville, UTJune 28, 2013 9:11 p.m.
Use your brain on this one - Optum - For Profit - with shareholders steps in and immediately starts making cuts and calling them "Savings" - meanwhile - millions of dollars go to Optum for "managing the care" and that helps United stock prices and shareholders and just google and take a look at what their top executives make in salary and bonuses. Salt Lake County citizens and the providers of mental health in Salt Lake County - which is a lot more than just Valley Mental Health - keep being asked to cut costs and do more while Optum whistles all the way to the bank. So who has benefited the most from this relationship - not the clients, not the providers, even not Salt Lake County - I would look right at United and Optum.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Jonathan R.
Review for Heaventrain, Cleveland, OH, USA
I've been aware of LIghthouse for about 4 years and involved for just over three. Here's how it happened:
Andy Batten and I were introduced by a mutual friend. Andy got started telling stories about the kids in Central. He knew these kids. They were HIS kids. He would talk about the look on a young boy's face when he saw the food that was being served in one of the community feeding programs. He would talk about how the kids couldn't believe that some group of people they didn't know cared enough to make sure that they got fed high quality food. He would talk about the hours and hours it takes to cut through all the things young people see so that the positive role models have a chance to develop relationships with the kids of Central.
I had to see it for myself. So I went on Heaventrain a couple times. What I saw was passionate, committed volunteers who truly want a better life for the kids of Central. What I saw was a community committed to relationship with the volunteers. What I saw was kids looking for Pastor Phil, and ready to spend a few minutes hearing about God's kingdom on the Heaventrain bus. What I saw was a system that dealt in a very precious commodity: hope.
Now, that hope is a very good hope and it's something I'm quite excited by and about. Over the next few weeks & months I learned that hope that I saw on Heaventrain came to life in a number of other places. Tutoring, basketball, food programs (in the summer and year round) and numerous conversations with community leaders are all avenues of hope.
I'm excited to be a part of Lighthouse...as a volunteer, as a board member, as a financial supporter. You should be excited too. You should also be involved.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Providing hope. Feeding kids. The Church On Wheels. Changing young men's lives by using basketball as a tool. Passing out food on a week in, week out basis. The Heaventrain Christmas Tour
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Strengthen the leadership capacity of the Board. Develop funding sources. Develop a compelling platform to tell all the stories that are coming out of Central.
Will you volunteer or donate to this organization beyond what is required of board members?
How much of an impact do you think this organization has?

Swimmer miraculously survives attack from great white shark off Californian coast
A swimmer has survived being bitten by a 7ft great white shark off the Californian coast.
The attack happened after the shark got caught in a fisherman's hook for half an hour, with the carnivore growing increasingly distressed at not being able to free itself.
Fifteen unsuspecting long-distance swimmers then neared the shark, with one man, Steven Robles, 40, getting caught in the fishing line.
He was bitten on the side of his rib cage about 270m off Manhattan Beach in southern California at 9.30am local time yesterday.
Eye witness Eric Martin said that the shark's mouth had been opening and closing as if trying to shake off the hook.
Mr Robles Injured Mr Robles was placed on a surfer's board after fishermen cut the line.
He was attended to by Los Angeles County lifeguards before paramedics began treating him. His injuries - lacerations and puncture wounds - were not life threatening and he was taken to hospital conscious.
A video of the incident seemingly has the swimmer's cries of pain as others shout "shark" and attempt to usher people out of the water. "It already bit someone!" somebody else is heard saying.

Shark attacks dont scare many people. Lighting doesn't strike twice right? @ manhattan beach pic.twitter.com/SJg3flr0UY— Branden Lang☝ (@BrandenLang) July 5, 2014
A lifeguard at the beach said that it's not uncommon for sharks to get as close as it did, but that this case was unique because it was agitated.
Though the shark swam off back into the wild 20 minutes later, a moratorium was temporarily placed on entering the water and fishing has been halted until Tuesday as a precaution.
According to CBS LA, Mr Robles credits God for his survival as well as a fast-thinking punch on the shark's nose.
He told NBC4: "You could feel the whole body shaking with the shark, the whole thing trying to gnaw in at me.
"He surfaces to the top, I see him for two seconds and he makes a really sharp turn and comes lunging right at me on my chest. I had no time to react, it just happened so quick.
"I used my hand to grab his nose, pried him off me. I mean, I thought that was it. For just a second I thought this was it, I was really scared."
The City of Manhattan Beach has a 2.1-mile stretch of beachfront and a 928ft-long pier. While fishing is permitted all year, fishing for sharks is prohibited in California.
Shark sightings are reportedly on the rise at some Californian beaches, such as Manhattan where surfing and paddle boarding is a popular pastime.

Elemental: War of Magic - Reviews @ GameSpot, PC Games
Here are two reviews of Elemental with similar things to say but surprisingly different scores. GameSpot doesn't mince their words and the score is 4/10:
It's never fun to purchase a game you're excited to play, only to discover that it's an incomplete mess. Yet if you purchase Elemental: War of Magic, whether from a retail outlet or developer/publisher Stardock's own Impulse distribution service, that's exactly what you'll get. This strategy game boasts shades of SimTex's classic Master of Magic, but any goodwill this similarity inspires is dashed by a slew of disastrous bugs, uninspired art, AI problems, bad sound effects, non-working multiplayer, and a shoddy interface. When it works, Elemental possesses that "just one more turn" factor that can keep you invested in your civilization's advancement. But even if you somehow avoid the game's penchant for crashing--often over and over again--it's hard to get past the noticeable sloppiness that invades almost every element. At the time of this review, three patches have smoothed out the roughest edges, but it's going to take a long time before Elemental: War of Magic fulfills its potential. Maybe at that time, this product will be worth your money, but for now, even the most adventurous gamblers should keep their funds safely in their own pockets.
...while PC Gamer goes for a softer 70%. Here, the author sells his wife to buy some Hell Dogs:
Well, that settles it. A pleasure – an uneasy and slightly guilty pleasure – doing business with you guys. Enjoy the six to thirty-six hell dogs from hell that I can now afford to destroy you with.
The hell dogs are unstoppable, and I win the game a long but unchallenging while later. The whole experience is typical of Elemental: exciting possibilities, confusingly stupid decisions from the AI, masses of freedom to come up with killer combinations, and absolutely no resistance when you do so. The game has been released far, far too early, and what we've ended up with is a tantalising prototype for a phenomenal game that just doesn't exist yet.

Who's ready for a peek into Lindsay Lohan's new abode? We are! Lohan fans will receive quite the treat when the first of two Lohan-centric episodes of "Million Dollar Decorators" airs on Bravo on New Year's Day.
Lohan made headlines last April when she reportedly bailed out on the reveal of the $250,000 makeover, due to hospitalization after an accident. The big reveal, sans Lohan, will air on January 8.
In clips from the bizarre first episode, Lohan invites interior designer Kathryn Ireland into her residence to help come up with a master plan. From there, all sorts of juicy tidbits are uncovered. First of all, Lindsay reportedly doesn't own the house being renovated – she's leasing it – which raises several questions right off the bat about the overall legitimacy of the project. In this context, it definitely seems like a TV gimmick.
As Ireland and Lohan tour the home, Lohan shares several insights into her design aesthetic. She explains that she wants the home to be princess-like and like "Plaza Athènèe." When the cameras zoom in on handbags lining her bedroom floor, Lohan explains that she got bored and "started decorating with Chanel."
Viewers then get to see Lohan's mirrored bed, which is a plain decorating disaster. Ireland agrees… and the two of them devise a plan to redo her bedroom.
As strange as all of this sounds, the episode does seem to provide quite a lot of insight into Lohan's chaotic personal life, which makes this feel like "Must-See TV" to us!
You can watch more of the Lohan episode of Bravo's "Million Dollar Decorators" tonight on "The Insider."

The Trafalgar Class submarine is expected to try to detect the plane's flight recorders in the waters.
Royal Navy survey ship HMS Echo is also due to join the international search operation on Wednesday.
A defence source said: "A Royal Navy Trafalgar Class submarine has recently arrived in the area and is conducting search operations for the flight recorders.
"She was ordered to move from an operational tasking to the search area around a week ago and arrived on station yesterday (Monday).
"HMS Tireless holds advanced search capabilities, but the task in hand remains a tall order and the search area is immense."
Defence Secretary Philip Hammond told his Malaysian counterpart in a telephone call on Tuesday evening that the submarine had arrived in the Indian Ocean.
Flight MH370 went missing on March 8 with 239 people on board. The aircraft took off from Kuala Lumpur International Airport, bound for Beijing.
The three-week search operation has repeatedly shifted its focus as experts analyse radar and satellite data of the plane's movements.
The operation is currently based inside a 25,000-square mile area off Australia's western coast.
The search operation has been hindered by poor weather and repeated sightings of rubbish in the ocean.
Sky's defence correspondent David Bowden said the Royal Navy submarine is a key element to the search.
"Why is she a key element? Because searching from the surface creates problems, not only with the depth, but also with distortion of images," Bowden explained.
"If you're underneath (the water), and you are looking up or along, and if you see anything, you're much closer to it.
"It (the submarine) can go deep and it can listen out for the black box recorder."
Specialist underwater search equipment has been brought in to help find the "black box" data recorder, which is only expected to continue emitting a locator signal until April 7.
Earlier on Tuesday, Malaysian authorities released the transcript of conversations between the aircraft's two pilots.
The transcript confirms Malaysian government claims that the flight began with a routine start.
The published transcript shows the final words from the cockpit to Kuala Lumpur's air traffic control centre were: "Goodnight, Malaysian three seven zero."

A new survey shows that new moms are engaging in risky driving habits with their children in the car. The study found that mothers think they are being more cautious behind the wheel, but they actually have a crash rate nearly three times higher than the general public.
USA Today reports that this survey of 2,396 mothers was conducted by the group Safe Kids Worldwide and American Baby magazine. All the moms in the study had children younger than two years. Nearly two-thirds of survey respondents said that they try to be more careful while driving since giving birth, but that attitude doesn't reflect reality. Around 78 percent of moms admitted to talking on the phone while driving with their babies, and 26 percent said they use their phones to text or email. About two-thirds of moms acknowledged turning around to help a child in the rear seat while driving.
All these distractions, plus the exhaustion of caring for a new little one, take their toll on new moms who drive. About 10 percent of the mothers in this survey reported being in an accident with their babies. That's a much higher crash rate than the general public. It's close to the crash incidence of teens, who are statistically the riskiest drivers on the road.
Study authors note that most mothers would probably be shocked at how their dangerous driving habits put their families at risk. Many don't realize that common practices mothers do at home, like talking on the phone and attending to kids, shouldn't continue in the car.
Most of us probably think we are safe drivers, but sometimes the statistics paint a different picture. This survey can be a sobering reminder to nix potentially harmful behaviors while driving. By doing simple things, like leaving the phone stowed in the back seat and pulling off the road to deal with children, parents can make car rides a little safer for their kids.

The Rockets could stuff a wad of cotton up Jeremy Lin's nose to stop the bleeding. It would not, however, plug the defense that leaks layups from start to finish.
The Nuggets missed enough shots at the rim to keep the Rockets in the game. They opened the way for the Rockets to come back from a 15-point deficit to within two. A rush of missed point-blank shots at gave the Rockets a last minute shot. But after Lin cut the lead to four with 81 seconds left, Kenneth Faried swatted away a James Harden drive on one end then finished a break on the other to take the Nuggets to a 93-87 win Wednesday at Toyota Center.
Trailing by nine with three minutes left after Andre Miller sent a halfcourt lob to Faried, the Rockets made another move. Harden cut to the rim to take a Delfino pass to a slam, but missed a drive before Miller set up Andre Iguodala for a dunk and a 91-85 lead with 1:42 left. That was all the Nuggets would need.
The Rockets made just 36.9 percent of their shots with Harden making 5 of 15 and Lin 2 of nine. Patrick Patterson had 18 points on 8 of 13 shooting, but the Rockets did not have nearly enough offense as Ty Lawson scored 21 points and Faried had 16 points and 16 rebounds.
The Rockets had seemed to get more repaired in 14 minutes of halftime than the two days of practices, cutting off the Nuggets' dribble penetration that had sliced through their defense in the first half. The Nuggets missed their first seven shots of the second half and made just 3 of 15 in the third quarter.
Though the Rockets initially could do little with all those opportunities to cut into Denver's 15-point lead, putting together all of a 3-0 run while Denver searched for its first basket of the second half. But when Patrick Patterson began putting in jumpers, including two 3-pointers, the Rockets rushed through a 12-2 run that cut the Denver lead to two.
They never could stop the Nuggets long enough to complete the run, and did not have nearly enough offense to keep pace while the Nuggets repeatedly went to the rim.

What's powering your lawn care service?
Many environmentalists would argue (passionately) that "greening" your lawn means tearing it out, and replacing it with native plants or a vegetable garden. They're generally right: by and large, lawns are water-hoggin' monocultures that require relatively hefty amounts of energy to sustain.
If you're not quite ready to dig up the grass, though, and you pay someone to maintain your lawn for you (or your landlord does), you can take a step towards a greener lawn by hiring a company that doesn't use traditional gas-powered mowers. Eco-friendly lawn and landscape services are popping up all over the country, and in addition to offering natural methods of pest control and fertilization, many also use mowing equipment with significantly lower carbon and pollution footprints. Some of the alternatives you may see offered:
- Propane: Probably the least green of the greener options, propane is derived from natural gas and oil. It does burn much cleaner than gasoline, though, and thus has lower emissions. Go Green! Lawn & Landscape here in St. Louis has just added some propane-powered machines to its fleet.
- Biodiesel: A number of lawn services around the country are offering biodiesel-powered mowing, including Fort Collins, Colorado-based Clean Air Lawn Care (which has franchises around the country).
- Conventional electricity: Some will always argue that electric powered motors simply shift emissions from the engine to the power plant, but electric mowers are generally more efficient that there gas-powered counterparts. Not many services promoting this, however… mainly because the next option really seems to be taking off…
- Solar-generated electricity: A number of lawn care services around the country now offer solar-powered electric mowing… both clean and quiet! Among them: North Carolina's Green Energy Lawn Care, and Minneapolis' Earthworm Lawn Care.
- Human power: This is about as green as it gets on the power front — Traverse City, Michigan lawn care company Clean Cuts uses reel mowers for cutting client's grass. Others offer this option, too.
Of course, power is just one element of greener lawn care… drought-resistant grasses, and natural and organic pest control and fertilization go hand-in-hand with lower-polluting power equipment. SafeLawns is the mother lode when it comes to information on more environmentally-friendly lawn care.
