TROWBRIDGE & DISTRICT LEAGUE DIVISION THREE: Late goal earns Stiffs a deserved draw
1:00pm Monday 14th January 2013
1:00pm Monday 14th January 2013
THE Stiffs' match at St Augustine's School in Trowbridge was the only league fixture that beat the elements.
Ade Giles' hosts, currently bottom of Division Three, were looking forward to their encounter with Trowbridge Rangers as it their first game for over a month and it gave them the perfect opportunity to avenge their 6-3 loss from the last time the teams met.
Rangers went into the game on the back of a 7-0 drubbing at the hands of leaders Westwood News, but they would have been confident that their first-ever league double would have been in the bag.
Their hosts had not won any of their eight previous games, but James Goddard's side had to settle for a point from a thrilling 4-4 draw that saw Darren Brewer score a late equaliser to earn the Stiffs a deserved share of the spoils.
Rangers started much the stronger of the two sides and Dan Moore who scored a hat trick put them ahead when he opened the scoring on five minutes.
Dave Carroll equalised for the Stiffs in the 20th minute and they grew stronger as the game went on and were far the better side throughout the first half.
Striker-come-goalkeeper Chris Giles made some excellent saves but they were undone by some poor defending which allowed Rangers to retake the lead on 27 minutes, courtesy of a second from Moore.
Only some brave defending and two goal-line clearances from Rangers kept them in front until the break and after the interval the Stiffs started to dominate.
Had in not been for poor finishing and more resolute defending they would have been out of sight and they had to wait until the hour mark to draw level, Jason Lucas spotting the Rangers keeper off his line and finishing superbly from the left wing after robbing a defender.
Five minutes later the Stiffs took a 3-2 lead, Adam Freeland latched onto a loose ball and from 30 yard unleashed an unstoppable strike into the right hand top corner, leaving the Rangers keeper with no chance and drawing recognition from both teams.
In a hectic climax to the game, Lucas gave away an unnecessary free kick on the edge of the Stiffs penalty area, the free kick was drilled into the area and an own goal from Scott Ball left keeper Giles with no chance in the 85th minute.
Two minutes later after the Stiffs gave the ball away Rangers would have thought that they had won the game when Dan Moore netted his third of the afternoon to give them a 4-3 lead.
With the clock ticking down, manager Giles had one last throw of the dice.
He threw on substitute Darren Brewer up front and after Simon Lunt had flicked on a 90th minute corner Brewer's header looped over the Rangers keeper to draw the game level at four apiece.
The Stiffs had one last chance to grab a win in the dying seconds but were again denied by Rangers Mike Coll, who had been brilliant all game.

2.25 Problem Sets - Section 5
Problem 5.29: Startup of circulatory flow in tank
Previous Problem | Back to Section 5
At t = 0, a circular tank with radius R contains water at rest with depth h. Between 0<tt, a water hose is sprayed onto the surface of the water in the tank at a volume flow rate Q and an exit velocity Vj. The jet impacts tangentially on the water at a radius rj, with an angle q relative to the horizontal.
After the time t the hose is turned off. Eventually, because of friction within the water, all (or at least most) of the water in the tank will end up rotating like a solid body.
Derive an expression for the final angular rate of rotation W of the water, assuming the effect of shear forces between the water and the walls of the tank during the startup of the rotary flow is negligible.

Fired HGTV hosts: Satan using his gay 'demonic agenda' to silence us
Two brothers who were recently fired by HGTV after their anti-gay views came to light said this week that they had been silenced by a "demonic agenda."
In an interview on Monday, The Blaze's Glenn Beck told Jason and David Benham that the same "agenda" that had forced them out for comparing same-sex marriage to Nazism was now celebrating gay football player Michael Sam.
Jason Benham pointed out, however, that the LGBT community would destroy Sam as soon as he "changes his lifestyle."
David Benham argued that they had been attacked by the same "spirit" that had been "punching nations since the beginning of time."
Beck agreed, and connected that spirit back to Nazism in "eastern Europe and Germany."
"We're headed down the book-burning road," Beck warned.
Jason Benham remarked that the "homosexual community" was not the enemy: "No, it's God vs. the Devil."
"And there's a small number of people in this world that buy into the idea of this agenda that wants to silence people," he opined.
"We are called to restrain evil so that good may flourish," David Benham remarked. "Don't force yourself on anyone. Don't force your beliefs. That's why we have the freedom of religion, and the freedom of speech, the freedom of expression, and the freedom of press, is because of this faith that is outlined in the Bible."
"We now have the opportunity as a people — right now in 2014 — to say, okay, let's return back, let's go back to our foundations," he added. "I'm not saying that you can't be a homosexual or an adulterous heterosexual."
"What we're talking about right now on one of our talking points is that fact that we are Americans. This polarizing in which we live is being operated by a demonic agenda to suppress the truth."
David Benham later reminded Beck about the story of an evil biblical sorcerer who owned a donkey, and he noted that the Democratic Party also used a donkey as its symbol.

WOODLAND — For the ninth year running, local, family owned and operated Nugget Markets has made FORTUNE Magazine's national listing of the "100 Best Companies to Work For." Nugget Markets ranks No. 36 among the country's top 100 companies.
"Our associates and leadership team work hard every day to provide outstanding guest service and quality products. Building creativity, humor and hard work into every day, the team has created a spirited culture where camaraderie and teamwork reign. Together with my family and leadership team, I thank every associate for making Nugget Markets and Food 4 Less the stores they are today," said Eric Stille, CEO and president of Nugget Market Inc.
Stille's leadership places a high value on the family-oriented work environment that supports the health and well-being of every associates' professional and personal life. While 90 percent of associates believe there is a real "family" or "team" feeling at Nugget, 83 percent feel that they are encouraged to balance their work and personal life, and this same percentage states that their leaders recognize their needs as people, not just employees, according to the audit conducted by the Great Place to Work Institute that supports FORTUNE Magazine's ranking of "100 Best Companies to Work For" list.
"Our associates are the difference maker, and it is they who separate us from our competition. At Nugget Markets, we take every opportunity to reward and celebrate our people. We believe that when our associates are having fun and feeling valued, there is an energy and enthusiasm that is created — and it transcends right through the guest experience," said Chris Carpenter, COO and vice president of Nugget Markets Inc.
Nugget Markets and Food 4 Less hire associates for their passion for food and guest service, positive mindset, desire to work as a team, commitment to constant improvement and interest in working in a retail environment. It is these associate attributes that help deliver outstanding service, support, and quality products to guests and associates alike.
Nugget Market Inc. has been owned and operated by the Stille family since 1926, and has nine Northern California locations in Davis, El Dorado Hills, Elk Grove, Roseville, Sacramento, West Sacramento, Vacaville and Woodland. The company's three Food 4 Less stores are located in Cameron Park, Vallejo and Woodland.

LIBERTY � As a child, Jerry Brown had a desire to work in law enforcement. Now, 42 years after graduating from Basic Law Enforcement Training (BLET) at Davidson County Community College, Brown has retired as the chief of the Liberty Police Department.
On Monday, Brown was also awarded the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, the most prestigious award given by the governor of North Carolina. The Order of the Long Leaf Pine is most often presented when a person has contributed more than 30 years of dedicated service to the state.
�It has always been about community policing,� Brown said. �That�s who I am, just trying to come up with ways to make the community better for everyone.�
Brown, who grew up in the Farmer area and received his education in Randolph County schools, had a long and illustrious career with law enforcement even before he was hired to be the Liberty police chief in 2003.
�My grandfather Brown was a farmer and a local mail carrier,� Brown said. �He taught me so much about life through incidental learning and I�m like a sponge � soaking it all up.�
After graduation from BLET, Brown left Randolph County to work for state and federal agencies. He became an enforcement officer for the state ABC Board in Raleigh, then relocated to Guilford County, landing in the High Point Police Department.
�I found a new family in High Point,� he said. �They welcomed me with open arms and made me feel like this was my home. In all the places I worked, there is nowhere that I worked that I didn�t feel that welcomeness.�
Through the years Brown was promoted often, becoming an integral part of the Alcohol Law Enforcement (ALE) team as an agent, then supervisor and district supervisor. In 1993, he requested a move back to Randolph County.
�I had instructed BLET at Randolph Community College,� Brown said. �I met Litchard Hurley (at that time Randolph County Sheriff) again. He believed in community policing, too. He asked for my help and we began a concerted effort to eliminate illegal gambling in the Archdale/Trinity area. It was intense, but we didn�t quit. Then in 1994, Litchard asked my help cleaning up illegal prostitution and massage parlors that had become entrenched in Level Cross, High Point and Moore County for a long time. We worked on that for 10 months.
�Thanks to the dedication of truly professional law enforcement officers, we eliminated those businesses from Randolph County.�
Brown officially retired from ALE in 2001.
�My career has been devoted to the community,� he said. �You can�t measure all we did, but we saved a lot of young lives that might have been lost because of alcohol. It�s not just about writing tickets and taking people to jail but being able to reach down and touch a child and talk to that child, and hopefully, make a difference in that child�s life.�
Brown adamantly gives credit to a few good men in his life: his Grandpa Brown, Hal Hammer Walker (�he had an interest in young people and was a beacon of guidance�) and Worth Coltrane (�nurturing and full of guidance.�)
After a short retirement, Brown wanted to go back into law enforcement. Six months later, he began working the vice and narcotics unit at the Randolph County Sheriff�s Office. He had to leave two years later due to family issues, but told his father that he was missing something and needed to get back to people � back to community service.
He also remembered that his great-grandparents, Daniel and Mary Jane McCarn, had long ago lived in Liberty and he had many happy memories of the small town.
�I can still see them sitting on the porch. I came there a lot when I was a kid and a lot of people remembered me because of them,� Brown added.
So, he wasn�t really surprised when a call came, asking that he consider becoming Liberty�s newest police chief.
On Sept. 9, 2003, he was sworn into office, replacing former chief Gerald Thomas.
Brown will officially retire on June 30, but will continue to serve as interim police chief while the town seeks a replacement.
�It has been a great experience,� he said. �So many people have said, �You can�t leave,� and I think that is the greatest reward for helping people.
�I try to have an attentive ear to what they want � and try to help. It�s not the town board, but the people. They are my boss.�

Consider average age of CC accounts
Opening a new card will impact your average age of accounts. If the average age of your credit cards by opening a new one would drop the age below say 4 years, it could have around a 15 point impact on your credit (which would then slowly climb back up to normal). If your average age stays high if you open a new one, it'll probably be a 3-5 point it which would come back pretty quickly.

LFP chief backs third-party investment
Liga de Futbol Profesional (LFP) president Javier Tebas has welcomed the involvement of third-party investors in Spanish football but insisted that he plans to regulate the practice in La Liga.
His comments came at a meeting on the use of investment funds in football. It was held at the LFP's offices in Madrid on Friday morning and was attended by Doyen Group chief executive Nelio Freire and representatives from clubs including Sevilla and Sporting Gijon.
UEFA has previously called on FIFA to prohibit the third-party ownership of players' transfer rights, while the European governing body's president, Michel Platini, has said the idea of third parties buying and selling footballers is morally wrong.
However, LFP chief Tebas said the concept had been unfairly criticised.
"Investment funds have been very demonised," he said. "They allow us to maintain competitive capacity if they are perfectly regulated and work with total transparency."
He argued that, because of the financial crisis, banks are not lending in Spain, meaning clubs need access to credit from somewhere.
"It is a form of alternative financing which would make it possible to have better competition and to avoid the possible disappearance of clubs," the sports lawyer said.
"Regulation is essential to treat them with precise judicial security so that there are more investors. The LFP will work to see if, in the first third of next year, we can have [a system of] regulation."
Doyen's website claims the company have invested in Geoffrey Kondogbia, Steven Defour, Alvaro Negredo, Alfredo Botia, Eliaquim Mangala and Radamel Falcao -- who joined Ligue 1 side Monaco from Atletico Madrid for €60 million in the summer.
Doyen CEO Freire denied third-party investors could make players leave or join clubs against their own wishes.
"It all depends, always, on the wishes of the player," he said. "Nothing is done without his consent."
In December 2012, UEFA's executive committee called for third-party ownership of footballers to be prohibited outright. Platini said then that there were fundamental conflict of interest issues around the practice.
"I do not think it is very good if players from several teams belong to a financial company or belong to people," he added. "I think ethically, morally, it is not good. We have thought about it and asked FIFA to deal with it."

BERLIN, March 12 (UPI) -- The unfolding Ukraine crisis has become a classic example of the complex nature of power in the modern age.
Military, economic, diplomatic forms of power intertwine with geography, energy and political will in unexpected ways that point to the the unpredictable shape of international relations in a future marked by high levels of financial interdependence.
In the classic traditional calculations of power, based largely on military and industrial might, Russia should have been deterred from its aggressive and adventurous policy toward Ukraine. The United States remains far more potent in pure military terms but President Vladimir Putin rightly calculated the Obama administration would not risk any use of force.
Crimea was too far away for an easy deployment of U.S. military might, the stakes seemed to low for the risk involved and the precise nature of political events on the ground too murky for decisive American action. The Crimea is a part of the sovereign state of Ukraine, but the balance of demographic and political forces on the ground appeared complex, and the U.S. was not inclined to match the Kremlin's readiness to take political risks.
The European Union economy is roughly eight times greater, in terms of gross domestic product, than Russia's. The German economy alone is more than half as large again as the Russian, but the Europeans had neither the policy consensus nor the political will to use their economic power.
In part, this is because of the interdependence of the Russian and European economies, the importance of Russian oil and gas supplies and the amount of European investment at risk in Russia if the crisis escalates.
An enlarged photograph of some briefing papers carried by a senior British official to a meeting of the national security council in Downing Street revealed the British government thought it should "not support, for now, trade sanctions ... or close London's financial center to Russians."
Germany, the largest single European economy, is highly dependent on Russian energy, getting about half of its daily consumption of 2.8 billion barrels of oil from Russia mainly via the Druzhba pipeline through Belarus. In 2011, Germany imported around 1.6 trillion cubic feet of gas from Russia, more than 60 percent of its gas imports and some 4 percent of its total gas consumption. But the new Nord Stream pipeline through the Baltic Sea, now bringing nearly 2.1 trillion cubic feet of gas, has sharply increased German dependence.
This means Europe's overall economic power is balanced by Russia's energy power. Just as importantly, the varying levels of dependence on Russian energy supplies makes it more difficult for the 28 EU member states to reach a consensus on policy.
By all the traditions of diplomacy, Russia should have been heavily outgunned. The U.S. and Europe are opposed to an expansion of Russian influence in Ukraine and to what looks like an effective Russia takeover of Crimea. The United Nations is committed to maintaining the territorial integrity of its member states. The United States and Britain signed agreements to guarantee Ukraine's security when Ukraine voluntarily surrendered its nuclear weapons in 1994.
But Putin played a weak hand well. He understood the likely divisions among the Europeans and between Europe and the United States. He also understood the geographic advantage of Russia's proximity to Ukraine and to the power on the ground of Russian naval forces already at their base in Crimea. Putin understands the importance of interdependence, that sanctions on Russia could hurt the British financial industry and German energy supplies.
Putin also understands the power of media in the modern age. Russian TV has overwhelmingly portrayed the demonstrators in Kiev who toppled the government of the pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych as neo-Nazis and extreme nationalists threatening the lives and property of ethnic Russians. At the same time, Putin has muddied the waters of media perception, arguing the shadowy pro-Russian groups who now claim power in Crimea are the real representatives of the Crimean population.
Last week, this columnist suggested Russia may have won the political battle of this Ukraine crisis, but was likely to lose the much longer war, which is about deterring Putin's attempt to rebuild a subtler version of the old Soviet Union and recovering as much as he can of the USSR's pre-1991 influence and control.
Putin is a hard power man with authoritarian instincts. He knew what he wanted and set out, craftily and with an acute sense of the levers of power in the modern age, to use his political will and determination to achieve his goal.
But in the long run, he has increased the isolation and suspicion of Russia. Putin is now perceived as a ruthless carnivore in a Europe of soft vegetarians. He is a ruthless rogue running an aggressive rogue state which uses its energy power as a diplomatic weapon (and which also deploys a formidable nuclear arsenal). And that will impose a price on him in the future, both internationally and domestically.
How much that price will be is unclear in these swirling new interplays of economic, military, energy, media and political power. But this is likely to be the confused and complex shape of international crises in the future. We have been warned.

I was excited to check out The Frosty Pint on a recent Friday night with Teila. She and I have both heard cool things about the place, and the story behind it is equally cool.
According to the bar's website, The Frosty Pint is owned by a veteran whose dream was to open a sports bar reminiscent of the famed sitcom bar Cheers. After 13 years of service in the U.S. Air Force, he moved from Texas to Maine and opened the Portland bar.
One of the best things about The Frosty Pint is the ample parking. I spend too much time circling the streets of the Old Port for an on-street spot, and it's nice to just pull into a lot, park and walk through a bar's doors.
The space in The Frosty Pint is roomy. The bar itself is one of the longest I've sat at, but if you're there with a group, plenty of pub tables dot the room. Two dart boards are set up to one corner of the bar, and there's a small room to the other side with a pool table. Televisions line the wall above the bar and are tuned to an array of sports stations.
One patron introduced himself to me and pointed out the bar's owner, who was off duty and enjoying a beer with friends. Seeing that enforced The Frosty Pint's motto of "family first" on its website — most employees are either friends or related to the owner, and patrons are treated like one of the gang.
Dining and drinking here are affordable, too. On Tuesdays, you can get pizza in a two-for-one deal from 6 to 9 p.m. Wednesdays feature a craft beer for $3 and $3 well drinks for college students. On Thursdays, the kitchen serves up 50-cent wings from 6 to 9 p.m. Well drinks are the special on Friday and Saturday nights at only $3 a pop.
The Frosty Pint has more than a dozen beers on tap, ranging from domestic to craft offerings. There is also a huge selection of bottled beer and any alcohol you'd like for a mixed drink.
Teila ordered a Black and Tan, and I ordered an Angry Orchard cider. We sipped our drinks and shared a plate of nachos between us.
For a Friday night, the bar wasn't overly busy, but I can imagine it bustling when major sporting events are being broadcast.
With free parking and plenty of it, you can start and end your night at The Frosty Pint enjoying drinks in good company on comfy barstools.

The Virtual Zippo Lighter opens with a flick of your wrist and lights with a turn of your thumb. The windproof flame sways as you move your Android device and reacts when you try to blow it out. Choose from a variety of Zippo Lighter images and customize a handful of selected lighters as well.
So slow and laggy. My phone has plenty of power and this simple app lags so bad and is so slow. I remember years ago when i had this app on my 2nd gen ipod and it was insanely fast. Disappointing very disappointing
Freaked out when I saw the slipknot I remember being able to hold the lid with out just opening and closing it fully and the animation being better
Fun little app. You can even blow the flame out lol. Bet you gonna try it now
Still one of my favorite all time apps Just wish there were some fresh new lighters.
This was a bit of a surprise when I stumbled upon this. I had no idea Zippo made any kind of app/s. First thought was....'what could it possibly do!?' But then I realized that this is basically for the True Zippo Heads/Fans out there, I consider myself an avid Zippo-head. Over the past few years I when thru my stuff and found all my Zippo's from years past, and have since started collecting various ones. I'm pretty picky tho, especially when it comes to the price. *HINT: Don't buy Zippo's from Head/Smoke shops and the like! They are marked waaay too high(between $25-60), and better prices are out there...ya just gotta find em.(online for starters) Walmart has em too, and for nice n cheap. Between $12-18.(of course design selection is poor, w/occasional gems showing up) The down side to not buying from head shops, is that they sometimes have truly rare 'gems'. But like I said...check your local 'stores', as I recently got the 'Sugar Skull' Zippo @ walmart for under $17. Kinda wish Zippo would partner up with places like Walmart, to obtain a bit more shelf/store space for a PROPER Zippo display. Even if it was just a simple rotating case(6-8ft), similar to what the smoke shops have.
Appears a recent update removed the peace symbol lighter...and my all time favorite (i own the real one, too): the pink lighter with the profile of the black flowered/paisley cat. How can i get it back??? :(

Global capex levels in the telecommunications industry have soared from $50 billion to $325 billion, in real terms, over the last thirty years.
PwC analysed the financial performance of 78 fixed-line, mobile and cable telecoms operators around the world. We supplemented this work with a qualitative survey of 22 senior telecoms executives from a representative cross-section of companies in terms of size, services, location and financial performance. Many of our survey respondents admitted that they are aware of their capex problem (and could waste as much as $65 billion per year). They also admitted they are unsure of how to solve their capex problems.
This paper explains the four key reasons telecom companies allocate capital inefficiently. It identifies 12 shared attributes of a well-designed capital management programme and is applicable to any type of organisation: fixed, mobile or cable, whether a new entrant to the market or an established major telecoms operator. Then we pose these questions to help you to think through your capex problem, and possible solutions:

They say 'the third time's the charm', but not so for the Harvey School boys varsity basketball team.
Having lost two earlier games in overtime, the Cavaliers hoped for a better outcome on Wednesday and very nearly pulled it off, only to fall short in double overtime, 57-53, to the French American School of New York.
Harvey, playing at home, came out with great effort and intensity, taking a six-point lead into halftime and playing well on both sides of the ball. The Cavaliers got themselves into foul trouble in the second half, allowing FASNY to climb back in and eventually tie the game, sending it into overtime.
With three of Harvey's starters fouling out, the Cavaliers were shorthanded in the first overtime session. When sophomore Ricky Hicks hit a three-pointer with four seconds left on the clock, it gave Harvey a one-point lead.
On the following in-bounds play, however, a FASNY player was fouled with less than two seconds remaining, sending him to the free-throw line. He hit one of two, which sent the game into a second overtime.
Taking advantage of Harvey's depleted bench, FASNY came back and took the win in the second overtime, dropping the Cavaliers to 0-7.
FASNY'S Michael Anderson had 22 points while Alexandre Adam contributed 17. They were named their team's MVPs.
Junior Jake Cohn of Pound Ridge led Harvey with 17 points and Hicks had 12. Cohn, Hicks and Jesse Zubren of Pound Ridge, who scored nine points, were named Harvey's MVPs for the game.
Harvey does not play again until after the holidays.
Harvey girls win big
The Harvey girls varsity basketball team improved to 5-2 with a blowout victory on the road on Wednesday over Stamford Academy. The Lady Cavaliers jumped out to a 27-5 lead in the first half and never looked back, going on to win, 50-9.
Senior Abby Hassett of Katonah led all scorers with 14 points. Freshman Avary Carlson and sophomore Alexis Palmer contributed eight points apiece. Freshman Emily Sirota led Harvey with five assists.
Palmer, who also controlled the boards with 12 rebounds, was named a game MVP along with Hassett.

US nixes aid plea
Wary of graft, Obama rejects Aquino's $300M request
THE United States has rebuffed President Benigno Aquino III's request for $300 million in military aid this year because "it worries about corruption" and the country's capacity to handle an influx of resources, the New York Times reported this week.
The same report, quoting a senior Philippine official who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the request was made in private talks in which the Philippines argued the need for a substantial buildup of planes and ships to deter Chinese expansionism.
The Sept. 19 story in the Times, "Warily Eyeing China, Philippines May Invite US Back to Subic Bay," drew a strong reaction Monday from a leftist lawmaker, who demanded that the Aquino administration disclose details of the secret aid request as well as plans to reopen the US military base in Subic Bay.
"We find it traitorous for the Aquino administration to run to Washington and covertly seek funding for military improvements without even consulting or disclosing such a request, even to the leadership of the legislature," said Kabataan Rep. Terry Ridon. "We call on the Executive department to immediately disclose details of this failed bid, especially as Congress is currently discussing the national budget."
Ridon also twitted the Aquino administration for being rebuffed because of corruption.
"[US President Barack] Obama's refusal to give in to Aquino's secret wish due to corruption and capacity issues… shows the extent of the Philippine government's bad reputation when it comes to handling foreign aid. It seems that even the master is distrusting his loyal lapdog," Ridon added.
Ridon said the New York Times report validated speculation that the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement that the country signed with the United States would be used to reopen US military bases in Subic and Clark, which were booted out in 1991 in a historic vote in the Senate.
"When EDCA was signed, we warned against Washington's economic and political motives, and now we're seeing that such fear is not unfounded," Ridon said
While acknowledging the need to strengthen the country's territorial defenses, especially in light of China's heightened encroachment in the West Philippine Sea, Ridon said the Philippines needs to guard against other powers, particularly the US, that would exploit the conflict to advance their own interests.
"The threat that Beijing poses for our national security is real and significant, yet it does not necessarily mean that we should allow US military forces unprecedented entry to our military bases and facilities. Claiming to defend national sovereignty from one bully by surrendering it to another bully is simply illogical," he added.
"The US solution is not the answer to the growing unrest in the West Philippine Sea. We have entered into several similar pacts in the past, but did our country benefit from it? Clearly, no. Instead, agreements like the VFA [Visiting Forces Agreement] and the MDT [Mutual Defense Treaty] only served to further undermine our national sovereignty, drag us into Washington's wars, and exploit our people and resources," he said.
Ridon insisted that the so-called "US pivot in Asia" is part of a larger US scheme to ensure China's cooperation with the US, as laid out in former US secretary of state Hillary Clinton's foreign policy essay "America's Pacific Century."
"In the final analysis, the Philippines is again serving as a mere pawn in this hostile game of gaining the upper hand in the Asia-Pacific region," Ridon said.
In Camp O' Donnell in Capas, Tarlac, the Army test-fired six US-made M113A2 armored personnel carriers that the Defense Department acquired through a grant from the US Army for excess stock, and which were refurbished by the Israeli company Elbit Systems.
The APCs were the first of 28 units that Elbit Systems is refurbishing for the Defense Department under a 2013 contract approved by the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency.
The acquisition of 114 units more of same model through a grant in 2012 by the US DSCA has been approved.
Reports said the Defense Department had an allocated budget of P880 million to buy 14 new APCs but the Army chose to use the funds instead to refurbish used armored vehicles with modern technology and weapons systems.
Each APC was refurbished for P132 million.
Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin said the refurbished armored vehicles used Israeli technology and featured a remote control weapons system from Australia
Maj. Gen. Mayoralgo dela Cruz, commander of the Army's Mechanized Infantry Division, said they were satisfied with refurbished units and the results of the live-fire tests.
"The firepower is accurate, and the gunner doesn't have to leave the vehicle. He's inside and it's like he's playing a computer game where we can see the enemy at long range," Dela Cruz said.
The units need to be passed by the Technical Inspection and Acceptance Committee before they can be turned over to the MID for deployment, he said.

Last night I looked down at my feet, where Sadie was sleeping beneath the desk with the two kittens. The peaceful scene of dogs and cats happily sleeping together, living together, eating out of the same food bowl at the same time, playing together, got me to thinking about the art of Edward Hicks (1780–1849), a Quaker preacher, artist, and sign painter who made his living decorating carriages, furniture, and household items.
Hicks is best known for a succession of paintings depicting the theme of The Peaceable Kingdom, of which he did sixty-one versions. These paintings represent the messianic prophecy of Isaiah 11:6: "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them."
Hicks derived the composition, a popular nineteenth-century Bible illustration, from an engraving after a drawing by the English artist Richard Westall. The theme of a peaceable community of animals, with predators in repose with their prey, was one often used at the time as a political metaphor, and was adapted by Hicks himself to show the theme of peace.
I have thought of Hicks' images often as I've observed our animals interacting at Estrella Vista and wonder to what degree we are responsible for their happiness. I've begun researching this question and have already turned up some fascinating information which I will share with you as I learn more.
In the meantime, enjoy these iconic images which are a reminder of an ideal we are pursuing here.

A Decade of Fiscal Reforms in India
The year 1991-92 was one of the toughest years for the Indian economy. All the macroeconomic indicators became adverse. The overall economic growth slumped to a mere 1.1%. The gross fiscal deficit stood at 8 % of the GDP and the revenue deficit on the current account at 3.5 % in 1990-91. Prices shot up to 17 percent, an all time high level. In the external sector, the balance of payment with as little as $1.1 billion foreign reserves or barely enough to meet two weeks' import bill became precarious. The shortage of foreign exchanges apart from inducing import squeeze for industrial production led the country by June 1991 to face a hard option of defaulting on international commitments such as debt servicing or accepting IMF structural adjustment and stabilisation programme. The new government decided to adopt in June 1991 a programme of macro-economic stabilization to restore viability to fiscal balances and the balance of payments and to contain prices. At the same time it undertook a far reaching programme of structural reforms involving bold initiatives in external trade, exchange rate, industrial policy and so on, all aiming at moving the country to a higher growth trajectory through infusing efficiency and international competitiveness. It also aimed at integrating the Indian economy with the global system and enhancing its robustness through wider access to better technology and benchmarking with the global performers. The reform process was comprehensive. The initial reforms focused on fiscal reforms, policy paradigm shift from physical control regime to the one relying more on market forces and trade related reforms. Subsequently reforms were extended to cover financial sector and to put in place law and regulatory framework compatible with a market system. The full impact of the reform measures edges into view over a long span of time. Nevertheless, a decade since the introduction of the reform process is a long enough period to make visible the results of the reform measures. It is in this background that this paper addresses itself to a vital area of reforms, viz. fiscal reforms. It attempts to evaluate the impact of fiscal reforms on the public finances of the Union and state governments. The paper starts with the outcome of the reform process as reflected in different measures of balances and then proceeds to examine the performance of the process variables that determine the aggregate balances. To form a view of the effectiveness of fiscal reforms, we have examined the performance of some of the important fiscal variables in an inter-temporal context. To be more specific, we have compared the performance of the fiscal variables in the post reform decade with that of the preceding decade.

We were gathered in Somerset House, London, to hear from David Cameron what the "big society" really means. It was very exciting, as if we had been invited to learn the true mystery of the Da Vinci Code, or the ingredients in the Colonel's secret KFC sauce.
In the end, it was a little vaguer. I felt as if we'd been invited to the end of an Agatha Christie novel, and Hercule Poirot had gathered us together to tell us he hadn't the faintest idea who the murderer was, but was jolly keen to find out.
Dave was passionate about the big society. He kept telling us how passionate he was. It was a very Valentine's Day mood. "Roses are red / Violets are blue / I'm passionate about the big society / But most people haven't a clue," as he didn't actually say.
There are certainly some fine phrases. "We need social recovery to mend the broken society, and that to me is what the big society is all about!"
There were hints about what we might do to help bring it about. Maybe we can band together to start a school, or save our local public house from closing. Or we could set up a "co-op inside the health service". You or I could volunteer as brain surgeons – I assume that's what he meant. Or you might be like him and run a creche "very badly" at Sunday School. Fair enough: the Good Samaritan was one of the earliest members of the big society. And the parable of the talents was entirely about the first banker's bonus.
Businesses could be brought in. Marks & Spencer were doing a marvellous job training people who might not otherwise have jobs. Possibly they call it the Size 18 Society, or in menswear the XXL Society.
There's a great "Let's roll up our sleeves and get to it" air to everything the prime minister says. He was surrounded by people who were mostly big society adherents – heads of voluntary organisations, charities and so forth. Some were enthusiastic; some less so. One man said the problem was medium-term – the cuts meant there was "a sense of devastation and loss".
"Let's deal with that devastation!" Cameron cried. We instinctively shrank back, afraid that a prime ministerial finger might point our way: "You! Get out there and kill that devastation!"
Nothing would damp him down. We have the most enthusiastic prime minister ever. He makes Tigger look like Rip Van Winkle. "This is my absolute passion! It is about a different way of governing, and it is going to get every bit of my passion!"
He wants us to set up "people's supermarkets" where you can volunteer to stack shelves and get cheap groceries. Perhaps the Chancellor of the Exchequer could set up a People's Osborne & Little where you can buy wallpaper for less than £100 a roll!
One TV journalist ventured that many of his party didn't know what he was talking about. "The reason I talk about it is because I am passionate about it!" he said, before dashing passionately away. The rest of us left, vaguely wondering what he meant, sensing the odd glimpse through the fog of all that passion.

Behind the Seams: Ports 1961 and Elle "Shop Your Closet" Launch Party
You may be curious to know what Nicky Hilton wore to the Ports 1961 and Elle Shop Your Closet book launch party. I know I was. A $1,795 Ports 1961 layered lace dress that by the end of the night morphed into a one-shoulder frock. Lake Bell was also in attendance at the Ports boutique in LA, as was actress Leven Rambin. The night consisted of shopping (duh), sipping on white wine, and reading up on Shop Your Closet: The Ultimate Guide to Organizing Your Closet With Style by Melanie Charlton Fascitelli ($14). I won't give away much else. Step inside for the fun.

England v South Africa
Springboks delay team announcement
PA Sport
November 18, 2008
Peter de Villiers has injury concerns © Getty Images
South Africa have delayed their team announcement for Saturday's clash with England by 48 hours due to injuries.
Springboks coach Peter de Villiers was due to finalise his squad today but has not had "sufficient time to assess the injury situation and confirm the availability of players''.
De Villiers will name his team at 12.30pm on Thursday.
Hooker Bismarck du Plessis and prop Gurthro Steenkamp are both definitely out of Saturday's World Cup final rematch after suffering hamstring and ankle injuries respectively in the Springboks' 14-10 victory over Scotland at the weekend.
Scrum-half Fourie du Preez is a doubt after withdrawing from the Scotland game with a strained quadriceps muscle. His injury requires further assessment before a decision on his availability can be made.
Prop Brain Mujati has a bruised shoulder and Bryan Habana took a blow to the thigh but team doctor Craig Roberts expects both to be fit for selection.
Sharks prop Jannie du Plessis, who was called up on Sunday to cover for possible withdrawals in the front row, has joined the squad in London.
England manager Martin Johnson names his team at noon today.

During the keynote presentation during the 2014 ESA Leadership Summit, a panel of experts will outline the necessary steps to significantly improve client safety and protect their digital security and privacy.
Irving, Texas (PRWEB) November 20, 2013
Residential cyber security is one of the security industry's most talked about issues. As the demand for home control systems and tech-savvy integrators grows, so does the threat to consumers. Many of today's enhanced security systems are ripe with security flaws that could allow unauthorized users to remotely access and control internet-connected devices such as HVAC systems, lights, door locks, alarm systems and surveillance cameras.
During the 2014 ESA Leadership Summit, scheduled for Jan. 19-22 in Orlando, Fla., the Electronic Security Association (ESA) and the Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association (CEDIA) will join together to host a special keynote presentation to help companies prepare for the influx of business related to cyber security.
In the session entitled "Increase Client Protection and RMR with Cyber Security," a panel of experts from CEDIA will outline the necessary steps to significantly improve client safety and protect their digital security and privacy. The session, moderated by longtime industry consultant and managing partner of DECO Ventures, George De Marco, will include solution-based and candid conversations about the risks; technical solutions; and insight on business growth opportunities available to security and home technology professionals.
Attendees will walk away with the power to identify potential threats and vulnerabilities posed to home control systems, a list of options to present to their clients that will increase their cyber security, and the ability to assess and discuss potential business opportunities associated with this new technology.
The "Increase Client Protection and RMR with Cyber Security" keynote will be held on Jan. 21 during the Luncheon General Session from 12:15 p.m. – 2:15 p.m. and is sponsored by Interlogix. Additional highlights during this luncheon include the announcement of the Morris F. Weinstock Person of the Year award recipient and the vendor showcase.
The 2014 ESA Leadership Summit has been designed to share business intelligence for growing companies and will focus on thriving, not just surviving. It will be headquartered at the Rosen Centre Hotel. Accordingly, the Summit will feature a robust speaker and seminar line-up to give attendees actionable and applicable takeaways that they can immediately implement. The event is sponsored by Interlogix, Honeywell, Axis Communications, Telguard, Tri-Ed Distribution, ADI, Altronix, Security America Risk Retention Group, 2GIG Technologies, AlarmBiller, Alarm.com, Bosch, DSC, GEM Electronics, Intertek, I-View Now, Linear, Micro Key Solutions, Monitor America, LLC, OpenEye, OPTEX, PROTECH/Protection Technologies, Uplink, WeSuite, and Yale Locks & Hardware.

My laptop was working fine one day, the next day my screen was black. I thought it might have gone into sleep mode, so I powered it down via the power button. Came back on, seen the startup dos screen, then all of a sudden the screen went reddish tint, then flickered and went black again. It did this a couple of times, now it's just black, but I can barely see what's going on, I can pick it out, but barely.
I hooked it up to a monitor, it works perfect.
I then thought it might be the connection to the motherboard, so I took off the hinge cover and disconnected the cable, then reconnected it, no luck, same result. Checked the other connections and they seem fine.
What could it be? Screen gone? Inverter? What else can I do to troubleshoot. Unfortunately, my warranty ran out a few months ago, will cost close to 500 bux to fix according to Dell support.
If the problem was other then replacing the screen, I'd try to fix it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Forgot to mention that the whole screen was replaced recently under warranty, but the 3 month warranty on the screen had already ran out, like weeks ago.
Could be the LCD or the inverter. Replacing the inverter is the cheapest. If you replace the inverter and you still have an issue then it will be your LCD backlight.

"If your issue was resolved, please click Yes ".
Hard to say what it is....could be either a faulty cable, inverter, or backlight/LCD. I just replaced the LCD in my 6400 last week and it was actually a lot easier then I thought it would be, there are instructions available from Dell http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/ins6400/en/sm/display.htm#wp1022270. And ya it would have been over $500 for Dell to do it (plus I'd be without my laptop for a few days at least), or about $350 if I bought the LCD from Dell and installed it myself (also they were out of stock of the particular LCD I wanted). So instead for $200 I bought the LCD+inverter from a local store and installed it myself. Although for less than $50 they would have done it for me. If you want to try it yourself then I'd first try replacing the cable and/or inverter (actually, first I'd just made sure the cable hasn't come loose, although unlikely since the video cable goes in pretty tightly). Otherwise, find a local store that can do it. I googled "Dell laptop LCD replacement" or stuff like that and found several places for my laptop. Here's some helpful hints from the website of the store I used:
Q: Do I need a new laptop LCD screen if my
LCD screen is dim? You may or
may not need a new Laptop LCD screen if the Laptop LCD
screen is dim. If your Laptop LCD screen is dim it may be
as a result of either 1) a faulty backlight or 2) a faulty
inverter. The backlight is basically the light bulb in the laptop
LCD screen which as one would suspect has an average useful
life. The inverter, though, is a separate piece from the Laptop
LCD screen. The inverter essentially 1) takes the DC power which
the laptop runs off of and converts it into AC power and 2) steps-up
the voltage to light up the cold cathode fluorescent backlight.
Q: Do I need a new laptop LCD screen if I
have lines on my screen? It is possible that you need a new
laptop LCD screen. The presence of lines could indicate a
problem with the screen, the video cable or the video card.

I know this was posted a few months ago but this sounds like your backlight has failed. It is much easier to replace the screen than to replace the backlight. Backlight replacement is very time consuming and will probably cost similar to a new screen.

Well, not me yet, I'm still recovering. The bruises are fading, the legs feel pretty good, but I am still fatigued. I just have not had the opportunity with getting enough rest. I worked Monday (should have taken the day off) and it was a struggle. Since then, I have worked 10 hours, came home, tried to get to bed early, but still waking up tired.
So what did I do tonight, after work? Painted the top half of our bathroom shower stall. There was an area which needed spackled, which had been bothering me for..years..so I finally spackled it, and then painted. Now I'm really tired.
The off and running is actually the weekend schedule for the next few months for my husband and I. It started last weekend. If I am "at home" for the weekend, the husband is not. I was gone last weekend, he is gone this weekend, then we're both at the Cinti Wine Festival next weekend, then he is gone, then I am gone, repeat, repeat, repeat.
Repeating all the way into June now, with weekends booked, now I am starting to think about the fall, what I want to do, and how can I get a reservation and weekend away to the French Laundry?

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
Made from a fantastic upholstery vinyl I found at SAS. Though it didn't look as cheap or fake as some leather-look vinyls, I wanted to rough it up to make it look more realistic. Inspired by the way Volpin weathered the cloth pieces of his Skyrim armor (http://www.instructables.com/id/Creating-Costume-Armor-with-Wonderflex/) I attempted some similar techniques on the vinyl, though my goal wasn't necessarily to make it look damaged. I started with a rough grit sandpaper and found that it dulled the plasticky shine and made the texture less noticeable. Then I weathered it using a lighter brown acrylic paint. More sanding helped get rid of the streakiness left behind by the paint. Bright gold grommets seemed wrong, so I weathered them with orange and brown acrylics to make them appear rusty. There is craft foam on the inside to help the belt keep its shape.
The carrot "grenade" was made from pink insulation foam, Model Magic, craft foam, spackling, wood glue, masking tape, and a Sharpie.
Made from leftover gabardine using this tutorial and pattern http://www.lilblueboo.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/EasyTieFinal.pdf I shortened the tie by about a third and made it slightly narrower. I was originally going to use satin since ties are usually made from a shiny material. I chose to use gabardine mostly because I had it in my stash and I absolutely hate working with it and wanted to get rid of it (sadly I still have quite a bit left over... sigh). But it also has a slightly ribbed texture which is more visually interesting than satin, and it mimics the pattern of a typical striped tie.
Made from the wrong side of a thick satin. The "gauntlet" cuff has craft foam and batting inside to help give it shape. The carrot "buttons" were made from thick craft foam, Model Magic, spackling, and wood glue. They are not functional and are attached using E6000 adhesive.
Made of spandex for a few reasons. 1) costume debut in Arizona in August. Satin and multiple layers was not an appealing option. 2) I was sick to death of making perfectly fitting princess seam bodices/corsets 3) I had this awesome metallic spandex in my stash that looks more like leather 4) because I wanted to focus my energy on the more difficult parts of the costume (namely, the sword). I patterned it using the Saran wrap and Duct Tape method and refined it by making a mockup. I top-stitched each of the seams to help give the illusion of leather.
The glove, tail, and ears are made from a lucky find in SAS's fur bins. The texture isn't exactly what I wanted, but it's not overly fuzzy and it was easy to work with. All pink details were made from whatever pink fabric I used for my Mari yukata and satin-stitched on. (I fucking love my sewing machine.) Each piece has batting and lining inside.
I patterned the sword by taking a screencap and using my limited shooping skills to bring out the details and scale it to print out the proper size on normal printer paper. Before I started patterning I devised a way for the sword to break down into a few separate parts. Nowadays I really only go to one local convention, which meant that if I wanted to bring this costume to other cons it needed to travel easily.
From there I finalized the pattern on poster board. The sword breaks down into four parts. The main body is pink insulation foam, cut with a utility knife and a serrated knife. Recessed details were carved out with my Dremel and sanded smooth. I used spackling as a filler and wood glue as a sealant. I used to be pretty crazy about using wood glue but I'm much less so now - while it dries hard it chipped off around several edges so it's not all that sturdy. And trying to sand out drips and bumps is nearly impossible. Resin all the way from now on. The hilt is built around a dowel that fits inside the main body. The only thing currently holding the pieces together is industrial Velcro... I'm working on better alternatives. Other details were made using foam board, craft foam, Mod Podge Dimensional Magic, various hardware store bits. I painted it using acrylics and it's a very rushed job since I did most of it it the morning of the con. Whoops.
The shoes were found at Goodwill and painted with Angelus leather paint. I used the same paint on strips of spandex so the ribbons would match the shoes.
Not crazy about the color of the tights but it's the best I could find at the time.
Costume worn for the first time since September 2013 with updated tights and carrot sword!
- Personal Thoughts:
- LOL SO THE ONE SKIN I SAID I'D NEVER COSPLAY... ended up being my first League costume.
I wanted to cosplay League before my last con of the year, since my desire to cosplay from the game was almost the sole reason I started playing it. When I first started playing I didn't like Riven much, but when i tried her again after I became more experienced I found she fits my play style (aggressive as fuck) pretty well.
I decided on Battle Bunny since the actual costume itself was relatively simple, which would allow me to focus on the sword. I really wanted a sword to practice on before I attempted to re-make Nero's sword, and since the carrot sword has a rough shape and doesn't need to be perfect, I figured it would be a good start.
Though I purposely went with a more basic looking costume to allow myself to concentrate on the prop, I made sure to pay attention to the small details of the costume and add details of my own. (Hence the hella long write up.) This was largely to satisfy my creative needs, but I also knew that I would be one of many who had done this costume (including lovely League ladies like Zerina and my friend MIssyeru). I wanted not only to make my costume stand out, but to show that even a deceptively simple bunny suit takes time, thought, and talent to create.
Even if that bunny suit has a giant ass carrot sword to go with it.
(Also if you know my summoner name, it's actually pretty funny that this is my first League cosplay.)

It's hard to believe that Hilary Duff is only 26, as she's already had so much success! She's also one of the more normal child stars (refreshing) and I was happy to hear she's making a comeback! Let's put her in the spotlight this week for Throwback Thursday!
Besides a new TV show she also got a new record deal! Can't wait to see what she comes up with! Lorde who graces the cover of May Teen Vogue opened up about being a big Hilary Duff fan! Who knew!
Remember this one! I love her with darker hair!
Some say that Miley stole Hilary's Disney spotlight. I think they were and are two different stars. That was 'So Yesterday' right?!

These are stories that were supposed to remain untold as the witnesses weren't supposed to survive.
Not wanting to make this site a political one I have only included a very small percentage of the stories of the survivours of the destruction of the Polish villages. These stories are NOT fiction nor are they made up, these are actual incidents that did occur and the people and Military Units did exist.
Czerkaszczyzna - Village that lost its Polish population
This was a village with mainly Ukrainian population, with about 10 Polish families. One young Pole Kowalczuk married a Ukrainian girl Oleska Alexandra. During the Ukrainian unrest the rumours abounded that the Poles will be 'disposed' of, all the Polish families disappeared into the woods with the exception of Kowalczuk, he hid in the attic and his wife being Ukrainian didn't think that any harm would bestow on her. The "Banderowcy*" came to their house and he forewarned by his wife hid in the attic and watched them as they raped and then hung his wife. He escaped by cutting a hole in the straw roof and crawled on his stomach to my grand father's house with the news. His hair turned white with the experience and he temporarily lost the power of speech. He was my grand father's very good friend, and the terrible story was told once he regained composure he told of the horror that happened at his house.
Jagielnica - Their fight, our payment
The UPA(Ukrainskaja Powstancza Armija), raided a small train that was taking arms and munitions towards the main fighting line on the Eastern Front. The German crew were shot and the train was ransacked and all the weaponry was taken. In reprisal the Germans surrounded Jagielnica which was Polish and slaughtered all the occupants. The houses were wooden with straw roofs, so when they were set alight with it's occupants still inside their death was terrible, any that tried to escape the flames and tried to hide in the nearby woods were shot. The whole village men, women and children paid the ultimate price for the Ukrainian attack on that train.
Units of Shame
These units of the so called Ukrainian Army fought against the inhabitants of the same lands that they originated from, they fought alongside the German armies to exterminate the Polish, Jewish and Ukrainian populace that didn't conform to their ideals. These units were formed exclusively of Volunteers, and were totally useless against an armed force, but as instruments of terror they excelled in killing and maiming innocent civilians. The initial influx of volunteers was of the criminal kind.
Battalions - Nachtigall, Roland, 201st Battalion Schuzmannschaften.
14th SS - Division "Halyczyna", This Division was involved in some of the atrocities inflicted to the Polish, Jewish and other races of occupied Europe. Units from it were involved in a massacre of 800 inhabitants in a village of Huta Pieniacka on 28th February 1944 where the inhabitants were taken either individually or in groups to a barn, where they were tortured and then had petrol poured over them and then they were set alight. They were also involved in a destruction of a village called Chlaniow where children under three years old were killed. The remains of this Division escaped to the West where they claimed to be Polish Nationals after their capture by the Allied soldiers in 1945 and majority of the soldiers had discarded their identity papers so that their true nationality couldn't be proven, this was done to avoid being sent back to the Soviet Union where they were classed as Traitors by the authorities. Hence the murderer tries to become the Victim.
Few of living members: see Named OUN/UPA Members
A book by Witalij Maslowski was published in 1997 and the so called Ukrainian "Brotherhood" didn't like what was written in that book as the author was a witness to many of those atrocious deeds, decided to "get rid" of him. The first attack was unsuccessful and the author was taken to a hospital where he recovered, the second attack unfortunately was successful and he was killed with a metal crow bar. The author was 64 years old and the murder happened in 1999.
Books on the sad subject
Authors Note: I have tried a number of times to get any details or information on the above towns and no matter where and to whom I write to in Ukraine about them the normal reply is autonomous silence. I can assume that they are surprised that someone at this time still know about them, and they whoever they are are doing their best to make sure that we know as little as possible about them.

SEATTLE, April 3 (UPI) -- Al Thornton scored 21 points Wednesday and Corey Maggette had 20 in sending the Los Angeles Clippers running past Seattle 102-84.
Los Angeles won on the road for just the 10th time this season while handing Seattle its fourth straight setback and its 15th loss in 16 games.
The Clippers' Elton Brand played his first game of the season after injuring his left Achilles tendon during a workout Aug. 3. It was originally announced Brand would return to action Thursday, but he appeared against Seattle and scored 19 points. He averaged 20.5 points a game in 80 contests last season.
Seattle held a one-point lead going into the fourth quarter, but managed only 14 points in the final period while the Clippers pulled away.
The SuperSonics were led by Kevin Durant with 30 points.
