Mariah Carey called her last album Rainbow and the one before that Butterfly. So many Mariah fans will probably be disappointed that she didn't decide to title this one Unicorn. (Or how about Kitten? Maybe Koala?) But damn if Glitter isn't a big step forward in terms of maturity for one of pop music's eternal kids. One of the many deeply weird things about Mariah is that she's never had much interest in growing up: She blew up big in the great teen-pop boom of 1990, and she's stayed teen pop all the way to 2001, coming across as a sweet, suburban middle-school girl who's crazy about hip-hop but always makes it home by ten. Only Mariah could make a record with Ol' Dirty Bastard or enjoy a much-publicized, much-denied public canoodle with Q-Tip and still project herself as such an innocent. Even her fashion sense remains that of a twelve-year-old playing dress-up in her mom's closet, which is one of the reasons Mariah has always kept it real with her devoted pubescent-girl fan base. She never tries to pass herself off as true hip-hop — she's not stupid, G. Instead, she just comes on as a pop singer who doubles as a true hip-hop fan.
With Glitter, Mariah takes a step toward staking her claim as a grown-up. It's the soundtrack to her first movie vehicle, Glitter, in which she plays a hungry young aspiring singer named Billie who's hanging around the club scene in the early Eighties, trying to break into show business. (Judging from the title, it sounds like her version of Sparkle.) Accordingly, Glitter is a concept album about the dance sounds of the early Eighties, the moment when New York Latin disco and hair-salon soul and this new sound called hip-hop were slide-slide-slippity-sliding together all across the radio, bringing the perfect beats of the big-city clubs to a worldwide audience of underage superfreaks. Talk about high-concept: Mariah covers club classics "I Didn't Mean to Turn You On" and "Last Night a D.J. Saved My Life," she duets with Cameo and, for the conceptual coup, she gets Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis to produce half the tracks. The vintage-flavored music evokes classic R&B groups like Ready for the World, Atlantic Starr, Skyy and even my beloved Klymaxx. As disco time travel goes, Glitter sure beats the hell out of Moulin Rouge's "Lady Marmalade."
Of course, there's a load of contemporary hip-hop in the mix. Mariah kicks it with the usual horde of A-list rappers, including Ludacris, Da Brat and Mystikal, all of whom help her pull up to the bumper. "Loverboy," "If We" and "All My Life" have more bounce than you expect from Mariah, but the killer is her DJ Clue-produced cover of Indeep's 1982 disco hit, "Last Night a D.J. Saved My Life," one of the greatest songs ever written about being a girl, listening to the radio or any combination of the two. Busta Rhymes and Fabolous cut up on the mike, teaching an old bass line new tricks. And when Mariah comes in to deliver the payoff line, "There's not a problem that I can't fix/'Cause I can do it in the mix," you can hear an emotional hunger that she's never come close to before. As Klymaxx used to sing, divas need love, too.
The downside of Glitter is the downside of all Mariah Carey albums. They're called "ballads," and Mariah still likes them big and goopy, with zero melodic or emotional punch. Glitter's gratifyingly few ballads are better than usual, especially "Lead the Way." But they make you wonder why a singer with such a famous voice can't resist such anonymous material. Her hits are always huge, but when they're gone, they're gone: Mariah still has yet to score the kind of hit that goes down in history. Only her hardest-core fans can tell "Dreamlover" from "Fantasy" from "Honey" from "Heartbreaker," and although she once had a song that stayed at Number One for sixteen weeks, you can't even remember how it went, much less what it was called. Whitney had her "I Will Always Love You," and Celine had her "My Heart Will Go On," but Mariah still hasn't found her theme song, the one people will remember her voice by. Glitter is good enough to make you hope she finds it. It's not too late, either — Whitney was a veteran if not a has-been when she hit her peak with The Bodyguard. It's nowhere near unthinkable that Mariah, for all her success, is just now starting to get her music together. Wouldn't that be something?

During its first meeting of 2011, the Buncombe County Board of Commissioners plans to consider a new work-force housing policy, a new park, a rezoning request and more.
The board has been working on drafting a work-force rental housing policy since October, when Frontier Syndicate unsuccessfully requested $1.8 million in tax breaks for its Montford Commons development. The policy that's up for a vote on Jan. 4 defines work-force housing as costing no more than 30 percent of household income for a family earning between 80 and 140 percent of the median for the area (currently $55,400, according to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development figures). The goal is to assist police officers, nurses, teachers and other workers with household incomes between $44,300 and $77,560, who might otherwise have trouble finding adequate housing at affordable rents.
The draft outlines a variety of tools for encouraging such projects, including grants, tax breaks and deferred construction loans that would be funded by the increased annual tax revenues resulting from the construction of the new rental housing. The incentives would be considered on a case-by-case basis, and applicants would have to provide at least 50 residential units that only full-time county residents could rent.
The board will also consider a proposal to purchase a 30 acre tract of land in the Mills Gap and Royal Pine neighborhoods that the county would use to create a new park. The landowners are willing to sell the parcel for $300,000 – about half its market value – on the condition that it can only be used for recreation. The Buncombe County Parks, Greenways and Recreation Services is hoping the board will allocate approximately $125,000 to $170,000 in county funds to buy the land and to make infrastructure improvements. The rest of the funding would come from a state Parks and Recreation Trust Fund grant.
In other business, the board plans to consider a rezoning request to allow more varied residential use on a .70 acre parcel of land along Riceville Road. If passed, the land would then be zoned to house a mobile home or a mobile home park. Both the County Planning Department and the Planning Board recommend approving the request, saying it would be consistent with other housing in the area.
The board will meet at 4:30 p.m., Tuesday, January 4, in the commissioner's chambers, located at 30 Valley St. A short pre-meeting review of the agenda will begin at 4:15 p.m.

Welcome to MSGVarsity.com's Memorable Mondays, a summer-long series that looks back on the top players, games and moments from the past season and gazes ahead to 2012-13. As the summer goes on, we'll compile all the lists and post them here: www.msgvarsity.com/mondays. New lists will be posted every Monday at noon.
In Week 2 of Memorable Mondays, we look at five of the best individual performances across Long Island.
Stacey Bedell, football, William Floyd
412 yards, 4 TD, 29 carries, 12.5 tackles (11 solo) - Class I Long Island Championship, November 27, 2011
Stacey Bedell had been to the Long Island Championship twice before, and twice before he and his William Floyd Colonials were on the losing side of the ledger to Freeport.
The third time, however, would be the charm.
In the second half of a Long Island Championship doubleheader at Stony Brook and having already seen video game-like numbers from Sayville and Lawrence, Bedell continued the trend. The UMass-bound running back set a LIC record by rushing for 412 yards - 109 yards more than the previous mark. He amassed 4 rushings TDs, two of which were 80-yard scampers and the other two for more than 50 yards.
But it wasn't just all offense for Bedell. The co-Hansen Award winner also made 12.5 tackles on the defensive end as well as Bedell would finally get his elusive Long Island title in a wild 54-47 win over East Meadow.
Joe Capobianco, football, Lawrence
27-41, 541 yards, 7 passing TDs, rush TD - Class III Long Island Championship, November 27, 2011
Imagine scoring eight overall touchdowns and throwing for 541 yards in the Long Island Championship...and losing.
Sophomore quarterback Joe Capobianco can attest to that as his Lawrence Golden Tornadoes fell to Sayville, 78-61 in the Class III Long Island Championship. However despite the loss, Capobianco's performance was what everyone was talking about once the clock hit :00. Capobianco broke LIC records for passes completed (27), passes attempted (41), passing yards (541 - previously 259) and touchdown passes (7) all in one-feld swoop and preceded to etch his name in Long Island football lore.
Tyler Manez (Plainedge) and Mike O'Reilly (Shoreham-Wading River), baseball
O'Reilly: 11 IP, 6 H, 3 BB, 19K, 3ER; Manez: 11 IP, 8 H, 0 BB, 10 K, ER - Class A Long Island Championship, June 5, 2012
Shoreham-Wading River was coming off its second straight Suffolk County Championship and looking for its first LIC since 1987. Plainedge was riding a Cinderella-like run as a No. 16-seed en route to its first Nassau title since 1992.
Both teams put their aces on the mound for one of the best pitching duels of the postseason as Tyler Manez and Mike O'Reilly went the distance and then some.
Manez and O'Reilly hurled scoreless gems into the 11th inning as offense eventually took precendence as Plainedge continued its run with a 3-1, 11-inning victory for the Class A Long Island Championship over Shoreham-Wading River.
Allison McKenna, girls basketball, John Glenn
30 points, 23 rebounds, 10 blocks - Class A Long Island Championship, March 9, 2012
John Glenn HS was looking for its third Long Island championship in school history and a chance to return to the state tournament for the first time since 2006. Allison McKenna made sure that would come to fruition.
The 6-foot-2 senior used her size to her advantage against a feisty Nassau Champion, North Shore, nothing 30 points, an astounding 23 rebounds and 10 blocks in a 76-65 victory. The 30 points was just three short of her career-high (33)
Kyle Williams, boys basketball, St. John the Baptist
34 points, 32 rebounds, 4 blocks - 2012 NSCHSAA Championship, February 29, 2012
No one ever gave St. John the Baptist's boys basketball team a chance come playoff time. And quite frankly, who could blame them? Coming in the playoffs as a No. 7 seed out of 7 teams and with a 1-11 record, the Cougars rattled off two straight wins against Holy Trinity and powerhouse St. Mary's to reach the title game against St. Anthony's.
Cue sophomore Kyle Williams.
Williams, the 6-foot-9 center, put the Cougars on his back in one of the most dominating performances on Long Island all winter. The sophomore put up career-highs on the grandest stage of his already young career, scoring 34 points and pulling down 32 rebounds to lead St. John the Baptist to its first NSCHSAA title since 2009.
Join us throughout the summer as "Memorable Mondays" brings you more top 5 lists:

the nba playes did not play there hardest because they were not getting paid and they dident want to get hurt. but i say if you say you want to go then go and play your hardest not 80%
the nba playes did not play there hardest because they were not getting paid and they dident want to get hurt. but i say if you say you want to go then go and play your hardest not 80%
does that not make sense to anyone else, ....... the nba player did play hard becasue they werent getiing played and didnt want to get hurt????is it just me
btw earlier in the forum when i said nba players only play if getting paid (and most ppl seemed to agree) i was referring to the players who stayed back home and didnt come. The only person i see with a legit excuse is kobe and jason kidd. I mean i gotta give it to ppl like boozer (who was going for his degree and put it on hold for the olympics) , iverson, and marbury who sacraficed a large portion of there summer to go to the olympics. I dont think the reason we lost was because of the 80% effort that jjtheknicks said, i think we gave 100% effort its just the team that was chosen was not a good perimiter defending team or a good perimiter shooting team, and thats what u need in international ball. I dont like to hear that they didnt play with all there effort, those guys every single one fo them odom marbury iverson jefferson boozer every single one of them left it all on the court and it go them a bronze medal.
wel now that they lost and dint win gold ppl wil wan go and play in 4yrs and play 4 pride and not $$
i hope thats ture. i just hope the good players go to play USA basketball. this team was good but if all the great players went like shaq or KG that team would have been unstoppable
man do i hope so. Ive got friends form around the world alot of which thought that america was the greatest world power and had the worlds best ballers and now beleive we dont ahve the worlds best players its a real shame that all our players couldnt comeOriginally Posted by TmAc N Knicks4life
Come on wateva they say we got best ballers out there, our best playas did not play in the games liek tmac,shaq,KG, u no wat im sayin? if them 3 played come on, u no wat would have happend only adding shaq we would win my 20's.. they cant say we dont have best ballers anymore we always did and alwyas will
all we need is a big man because we only had one and we all saw what happen the hole team was on him.
yeaa damn i wish we have ewing bak when he wa sin his prime he was awsome i miss him


text: El Paso, Texas (March 11, 2003) – With the help of attorneys from the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, a worker for a federal contractor at Ft. Bliss today filed federal charges against officials of a local engineering union and his employer for illegally forcing him to pay full union dues as a job condition. Cordev Inc. employee Richard Cabler, a non-union member, filed the unfair labor practice charges with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) against the International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) union Local 35 and Cordev. The union's officials illegally threatened to get him fired for refusing to pay full dues, including dues spent for politics and other activities unrelated to collective bargaining. "In an effort to stuff their coffers, union officials are demanding that employees simply shut up and pay up," said Stefan Gleason, vice president of the National Right to Work Foundation. In December 2002, both IUOE union officials and Cordev notified all employees at the Fort Bliss facility that they would be fired if they failed to sign a dues check-off card forcing employees in the bargaining unit to pay full dues. However, the workers never received timely notice of their right to refrain from formal union membership and pay only a reduced fee. These threats violate the workers' rights established by the Foundation-won U.S. Supreme Court Communications Workers v. Beck decision. Under Beck and subsequent NLRB rulings, union officials must specifically inform employees of their right to refrain from formal union membership and paying any costs other than those directly related to collective bargaining. The Cordev controversy is somewhat unique in the Lone Star State, since Texas has a highly popular Right to Work law that bans compulsory unionism. However, because Cordev's employees work on federal property under exclusive federal jurisdiction, the state's Right to Work law does not protect them. "The abusive actions of IUOE union officials show why most Texas workers are fortunate to have the protections of a Right to Work Law," said Gleason.

The Delmarva Peninsula sits in the Mid-Atlanic region of the United States between the Chesapeake Bay to its west, the Delaware River and Bay, and Atlantic Ocean to its East. The peninsula has areas that are in three states with its name being formed from letters of the states of Delaware, Maryland and Virginia.
The name Delmarva Peninsula is a recent one with the first known use of Delmarva being in the early 20th Century. It began as commercial names of businesses that served consumers in the three states and then expanded to the entire Peninsula. There are 19th century references to it being call the Chesapeake Peninsula.
At the northern point of the peninsula there is a geographic fall line that separates the crystalline rocks of the Piedmont from the unconsolidated sediments of the Coastal Plain. This line passes through Newark and Wilmington, Delaware and Elkton, Maryland.
Another possible northern boundary for the peninsula could be the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. This would technically make it an Island, since you can't get on or off of the peninsula without crossing a body of water. However it's still regarded as a peninsula since the canal is man-made.
A canal across the peninsula between the Delaware River and the Chesapeake Bay was first proposed by Augustine Herman in the mid-1600s. It wasn't until the late 18th century that surveys of possible water routes were made.
In 1802 the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal Company was incorporated. Construction began in 1814, but due to lack of funds the project was halted in 1816. In 1822 the canal company reorganized and with monetary support from Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware and the Federal Government work began again in April 1824. It was open for business in 1829 at a cost of near 2.5 million dollars.
The canal of 1829 is much different than it is today. In 1829 it was 14 miles long, 10 feet deep, 66 feet wide at the water line and 36 feet at the bottom. Locks existed at Delaware City and St. Georges Delaware as well as two at Chesapeake City Maryland.
In 1919, the Federal Government purchased the canal. In the six years from 1921 to 1927 the Army Corps of Engineers converted it to a sea-level canal, widened it, and removed all the locks. Today the canal is 450 feet wide with a depth of 35 feet. The canal is a modern sea-level commercial waterway that carries about 40 percent of the ship traffic to the Port of Baltimore.
From the C&D canal to the peninsula's southern point at the tip of the Eastern Shore of Virginia it is about 180 miles. At its widest it's about 60 miles, although most of the peninsula is much narrower. The land area is about 5.45 thousand square miles.
The western or Chesapeake Bay coast is indented and marshy. Most of its western coast is Maryland's Eastern Shore. The rest is the Virginia Eastern Shore west coast. The eastern coast is more regular with sandy beaches, especially along the Atlantic Ocean.
There are 5 bridges over the C&D canal to get onto the peninsula. These are at MD 213, Delaware 896, US 13, Delaware 1 and US 9. There is also a railroad bridge that crosses the canal east of Delaware 896. There are two accesses to the peninsula across the Chesapeake Bay. One is the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, which crosses the bay near Annapolis Maryland to Kent Island. The other is the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, which, links Cape Charles, Va., the southern tip of the peninsula, with Norfolk, VA.
Prior to the opening of Maryland's Chesapeake Bay Bridge, officially called the William Preston Lane, Jr., Memorial Bridge in 1952, the only route across the Chesapeake Bay was through ferries. A parallel structure with three lanes was opened in 1973. These lanes are used for west bound traffic while the original 2 lane span is used for those east bound.
The shore–to-shore length of 4.3 miles makes it a long scenic over-water structure. Beginning in 1975, typically on an early Sunday in May, the east bound span has been closed to traffic for use by walkers for a scenic view of the bridge and bay. The last Bay Bridge Walk was held in 2006. The 2007 walk was canceled due to weather conditions and for 2008 and 2009 due to the Bay Bridge Preservation Project. Once again the Bridge Walk has been canceled for 2010.
Across the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay where it meets the Atlantic Ocean there is The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, officially the Lucius J. Kellam, Jr. Bridge-Tunnel. Its shore-to-shore distance is 17.6 miles and connects the Virgina town of Cape Charles with the city of Norfolk.
The Bridge-Tunnel opened in 1964, and consists of more than 12 miles of low trestle bridges, two suspension bridges and two tunnels, each a mile long under the shipping channels. It is considered the largest bridge-tunnel complex in the world.
Nine of Maryland's 23 counties are located on the peninsula. These being the counties of Kent, Queen Anne's, Talbot, Caroline, Dorchester, Wicomico, Somerset, Worcester and a portion of Cecil County. The Virginia counties of Accomack and Northampton and the Delaware Counties of Kent, Sussex and a portion of New Castle County makes up the rest.
A major part of the Delmarva Peninsula's economy is through agriculture, aquaculture, sports hunting and fishing, and tourism.
At various times in its history residents of the Maryland and Virginia portion of the peninsula have propose that they should secede from their respective states. Some believe they should join Delaware to create a new state called Delmarva.

When you build an add-in project, it installs the add-in on your development computer. Even if you close that project and start another, or even close Visual Studio entirely, all add-ins you have built will still run when you start the Office application on that computer. If you're not expecting the add-in to run, you might be surprised by what you see the next time you open the application or test a new project. This video shows how to easily uninstall add-ins from your development computer after you build them if you don't want them to run any more. Basically, you run Clean Solution, which is on the Build menu. But watch the video for proof!

The Rhode Island House has joined the Senate in endorsing a comprehensive overhaul of the state's drastically underfunded public pension system.
The House voted 57-15 to pass the measure. A final, formal vote expected later Thursday will send the measure to Gov. Lincoln Chafee, who is expected to sign it.
The legislation is intended to save billions of dollars by suspending retiree pension increases, raising retirement ages and creating a benefit plan that mixes pensions with 401(k)-style accounts.
Public-sector unions say the measure is unfair, and they vow to challenge the changes in court. Some workers heckled lawmakers during Thursday's debate.
Supporters say the state cannot afford to pay promised benefits without big tax increases or cuts to schools and other services.

Clean Air Attack
House Republicans want to pass a dangerous and irresponsible bill that would gut the Clean Air Act.
Tell your representative: "No way!"
Meet Mr. Coal Guy
He's a billionaire coal magnate with a passion for destroying mountains, polluting the air, and creating misleading coal advertisements that would make Don Draper blush.
Mr. Coal Guy may be fictional, but we all know that the coal industry will do whatever it takes to fool people into thinking that coal is safe.
After you've seen Mr. Coal Guy's ads, don't just get mad -- get even by creating your own animated coal masterpiece with our "That's So Coal!" website.
Together, we can use a little humor to show how ridiculous Big Coal's multimillion-dollar ad campaign really is.
A Big Step for Clean Air
Last week the Environmental Protection Agency rolled out a major clean-air protection that will benefit both our health and our environment when it announced the first-ever safeguards against carbon pollution from new power plants.
But these are only proposed standards, not final ones. The EPA is collecting comments on its new carbon pollution standards. Let them know you support the strongest possible protections that will give us cleaner air and healthier communities.
Obama's Monumental Opportunity
In an era of partisan gridlock, when it's almost impossible to get anything done in Congress for our wild places, President Obama can still make his mark as a leader who will stand up for public lands -- by protecting some of our most special wild places as national monuments -- like Oregon's Owyhee Canyonlands, at right.
National monuments aren't just good for wildlife; they're good for people, too. They give us places to camp, hike, and picnic. And they're a boon to local economies -- providing good jobs and a source of local pride.
President Obama took a step in the right direction by making Fort Monroe in Virginia a national monument -- but there's much more he could do.
Healing Outdoors
April is the Month of the Military Child, and the Sierra Club helped kick things off by cohosting an outdoor celebration for hundreds of military children and their families at Prince William Forest Park in Triangle, Virginia, where kids enjoyed a day of hiking and learned how to cast a fly rod and pitch a tent.
"Military children serve too, and we've found that connecting them with the outdoors not only allows them to have fun but also gives them and their families a sense of resiliency," says Stacy Bare, the Sierra Club's Mission Outdoors Military Families and Veterans Initiative representative. "The outdoors heals."

unless if you have 0% APR you should be trying to pay as much of the balance of as you can until it reaches $0 this way you do not get charged as much interest by the credit card company.....so if your charging $300 a month but only paying $75 then you are getting charged interest on the remaining balance which in most cases is 16%-28%....and as always you want to make sure that not matter what happens you make the mininmum payment every month otherwise your score will take a huge hit.....so basically don't miss a payment and always try to pay in full

Steve Kerr will listen to the Warriors if they approach him about their new head-coaching vacancy this week, but multiple NBA sources told The Post his heart still is in New York with Phil Jackson — not in San Francisco.
According to an NBA source, Kerr expects to hear from the Warriors now that they have fired Mark Jackson after two successful seasons, reportedly due to Jackson's headstrong demeanor. An NBA source said Tuesday the pull of running the Triangle with Phil Jackson as his mentor likely is going to be stronger than the pull of the West Coast, where Kerr's family lives, in San Diego.
Kerr is expected to make his final decision by week's end. He will partner with Marv Albert on Wednesday for Game 2 of the Clippers-Thunder second-round series in Oklahoma City for possibly the final time. They have been TNT's top broadcast team for four years.
Kerr has close ties to Golden State owner Joe Lacob and team executive Rick Welts, a former Suns president when Kerr was the Phoenix general manager.
Kerr was set to hire Lacob's son, Kirk, four years ago as a front-office intern, but Kerr left for TNT. Kirk Lacob now is the Warriors assistant GM. One report out the Bay area stated Kerr will be approached, but "there was debate about his candidacy'' among front-office types. It wasn't clear if it meant Kerr already was too far along in talks with the Knicks.
The Warriors' interest could serve as a negotiating chip for Kerr's agent, Mike Tannenbaum, the former Jets GM known in NFL circles as a hard-nosed contract negotiator. Tannenbaum likely will seek a five-year deal — which is the same length as Phil Jackson's.
The Warriors have other names on their candidate list, including Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau, but would need permission to talk to him. Iowa coach Fred Hoiberg has been mentioned and Yahoo! Sports reported Stan Van Gundy as a top candidate.
Mark Jackson, a former St. John's star and Knicks guard, had just one year left on his contract and would've made for a solid Knicks candidate if Steve Mills was running the show and not Phil Jackson, who wants to install the Triangle offense. The Warriors were eliminated in seven games by the Clippers in the first round. Jackson reportedly clashed with the front office.
Meanwhile, Bill Cartwright, a prime candidate to be on Kerr's staff, said a report he had dinner last week with Phil Jackson in Manhattan was untrue. Cartwright said they were in contact only by phone.
Cartwright was hired by Kerr in Phoenix as an assistant.
"I have been in communication with Phil. We did not [meet in New York],'' Cartwright said on Sirius XM radio. "I've been in contact with Phil and hopefully it works out the right way.''
"Steve's going to be an excellent coach," Cartwright, a former Knicks center who played in Chicago for Jackson, said of Kerr. "He is going to know exactly what he wants to do. He does watch a lot of basketball so I think he'll do a great job as head coach.''

Less Sunshine In The Sunshine State
It may just be temporary. After all, "from 2004 to 2006, Florida added about 1,100 people a day, as housing construction's proportion of the state economy grew to twice the national average." But the recent dip, outlined in a University of Florida report and predicted by Brookings demographer, Bill Frey, is ominous for a state whose economy is partly based on in-migration. Schools, city and county governments, and local businesses are feeling the pinch.
"Choked by a record level of foreclosures and unemployment, along with a helping of disillusionment, the state's population declined by 58,000 people from April 2008 to April 2009, according to the University of Florida's Bureau of Economic and Business Research. Except for the years around World Wars I and II, it was the state's first population loss since at least 1900."
"It's dramatic," said Stanley K. Smith, an economics professor at the University of Florida who compiled the report. "You have a state that was booming and has been a leader in population growth for the last 100 years that suddenly has seen a substantial shift."
"Mr. Smith at the University of Florida nonetheless predicts modest population increases when the economy picks up - growth of 150,000 to 200,000 people annually."

Are the burgers at Zeitgeist as fabulous as I remember?
I met up with some friends at the legendary San Francisco beer garden -- a summery daytime staple -- to suss out the situation.
Nice weekend weather and an unusually mellow scene made for a perfect burger-eating scenario!
Out here, you just have to order both and double-fist it.
The crew was all smiles, especially after we nabbed a spot in the very front of the burger-ordering line when the kitchen re-opened from its hiatus around 4pm.
Update, 11.19.08: You might recall my buddy Jason Berthold (pictured, right) from a July post about grilling local squid.
He's going to be running the kitchen at RN74, the new Michael Mina/Rajat Parr restaurant and wine bar that's opening in SOMA's Millenium Towers around April-ish 2009.
Did you see that bit in the Chronicle food section's Inside Scoop today? I'm so excited for Jason -- he is one seriously talented, inspired, hard-working chef who happens to have cut his chops as one of two sous chefs at the Laundry. (Yes! The French one!)
We agreed that the burgs at Zeitgeist were still mighty tasty.
$5 for a fancy meat burger? A buck for cheese? Totally. Even a medium burger was juicy and delicious, and I can be a little pointed in my love for the mid-rare.
I like the standard American bun, the finger-width patty thickness, the complete meltation station on the cheese, and the key addition of pickle slices to the lettuce-tomato-onion accoutrements.
The girls got garden burgers, always great at the Z thanks to the super smoke-tastic grill.
The concomitant homefries, as always, were underwhelming. But I am not a homefry lover; I am a french fry and hashbrown enthusiast. One must take one's predelictions into account.
And then one must hit the beach for sunset.
Lest we forget, these quirky, warm mid-November days help remind us that we do, actually, live in a beach town.
Here's to summer. So nice to see you.

Papi could return to lineup this weekend
Papi could return to lineup this weekend
CLEVELAND -- David Ortiz told reporters earlier in the week he could return from his right Achilles injury on Sunday against the Indians. On Thursday, manager Bobby Valentine confirmed that was a possibility.
"I could see that, maybe," Valentine said. "That would be on schedule with what [the medical staff] talks about."
Ortiz did some agility work on the field before Thursday's game and also took batting practice indoors. Valentine said the designated hitter will likely run the bases on the field prior to Friday night's game, and he will be reevaluated afterward.
"Then we should know where he really is," Valentine said. "Yesterday, he said [there was no] stiffness, felt he could do a lot of things."
Ortiz hasn't played since July 16, and the Red Sox are just 9-13 in his absence. He's hitting .316 with 23 home runs and 58 RBIs in 89 games this season.

LEKSAND, Sweden -- They remain among the scoring leaders in the Ontario Hockey League, weeks after their departures from their clubs.
But after three games with Canada at the 2007 world junior championship, Bryan Little and Sam Gagner find themselves at the other end of the statistics sheet, with zeroes beside their names.
This tourney often is about players adjusting to doing things they usually do not, and Little and Gagner are perfect examples.
Before last night's OHL games, Gagner of the London Knights was second in scoring with 63 points in 29 games, and had a point in every game but three. Little of the Barrie Colts was fourth with 62 points in 30 games and was held off the scoresheet four times.
Gagner was restricted mainly to power-play duty against Germany on Friday and Little has been on the wing of a checking line.
"In Barrie, I am used to playing 30 minutes a game and here I am getting a couple of shifts a period," said Little, who was born in Edmonton and moved to Cambridge at age 5 when his father John had a job transfer. "Coming here, I did not know what to expect, and I understand now I am not going to see that much ice time. It's a really hard adjustment."
But if Little -- the 12th pick overall by the Atlanta Thrashers in the 2006 NHL entry draft -- wants a silver lining, it does hurt to be playing well defensively against what is supposed to be the best junior-aged competition in the world.
The Thrashers don't mind that Little is not being given a true chance to use his offensive talents.
"He is not going to be on the first power-play when he gets (to Atlanta), so this adds to his experience," Thrashers director of amateur scouting and player development Dan Marr said. "It's a tremendous life and hockey experience. If you win a medal, 10 years from now, nobody asks how much ice time you had."
Unlike Little, Gagner will have another shot at playing for Canada at the 2008 world junior in the Czech Republic. The 17-year-old said that leaning on his father, Dave, who played more than 900 NHL games, has helped.
"It's awesome having him here because he has been through this before," Gagner said. "He knows what it is like to not play a lot. You always want to score big goals, but I know it is different for me here."
Canada has not been generating a ton of offensive chances, but Hartsburg said he did not envision putting Little or Gagner back at centre. Andrew Cogliano, Jonathan Toews and Tom Pyatt returned to that position after playing there for Canada last year and were not about to be moved.
"That's a pretty hard group to crack," Hartsburg said. "I'm sure there are some parts where (Gagner and Little) are wondering if they can do more, and we think they can. It's an adjustment but certainly we encourage them every day."

Teen stabbed several times after argument
A teenager was stabbed three times in the back over the weekend after an argument with another man.
Thomas Gonzales, 18, was stabbed by Robert Velasquez after an argument and shoving match in the 1900 block of 37th Street Saturday around 11:30 p.m., according to a report from the Lubbock Police.
Velasquez, 48, allegedly pushed Gonzales. As the teen was helped to his feet, he was stabbed three times in the back, according to the report.
Police charged Velasquez with aggravated assault. He was released from the Lubbock County Jail Sunday night, according to police records.
Tech professor supports county's tax increase
A professor emeritus from Texas Tech told Lubbock County Commissioners he supported their proposed tax increase.
He was the only person who spoke at the public hearing Monday morning at the courthouse. No one spoke at a public hearing on the proposed tax increase by University Medical Center.
Neale Pearson, a political science professor at Tech, said Lubbock is a growing county and that residents know they have to pay for the services they want.
The next public hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. Friday in the Commissioners Courtroom on the fifth floor of the Lubbock County Courthouse.

text: Nutrilite field looks a lot more level - National Post April 28, 201012:00AM PDT Previous Next Talent gap closes; Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver set to battle again Eric Koreen TORONTO - The underdog component to the Canadian championship is not long for this world. Since the inaugural tournament two years ago, it has had three teams: Toronto FC, from North America's top league, Major League Soccer, and the Vancouver Whitecaps and the Montreal Impact, two teams in the lower USSF Division 2 (formerly the USL First Division.) That has put all the pressure on Toronto. A win is expected; a loss is embarrassing. However, with the Whitecaps arriving in MLS next year, that feel is expiring. Montreal also is poised to get an expansion berth in the league, with an announcement possibly coming in the coming weeks. The irony: this tournament, which Montreal won in a surprise in 2008, and Toronto won only with a spectacular 6-1 win in the last game last year, helped to secure those expansion spots. "There is questioning. There are doubts about our quality," Montreal coach Marc Dos Santos said yesterday. "But after you see that Montreal won the Nutrilite [the sponsor of the tournament] Championship in 2008, and when you see that Vancouver had a very good chance at winning it last year, there is respect. That helps the two clubs make the case that they could compete in the MLS." So, savour the little-guys-versus-big-bad-Toronto vibe while it lasts. The tournament starts tonight, as Montreal visits Toronto at BMO Field (8 p.m. Eastern Time, Sportsnet). The winner of the round robin, which runs through June 2, advances to the CONCACAF Champions League. Montreal made it to the quarterfinals two years ago. Toronto lost to Puerto Rico, another USL team, in the preliminary round last year. As usual, Toronto comes in as favourite, boasting the two best Canadians playing in North America, forward Dwayne De Rosario and midfielder Julian De Guzman. However, Toronto needed a final-game hat trick from De Rosario last year to get the goal differential to edge out Vancouver. "It's two games. It's a home-and-away. Anything can happen in a two-game series with a team," Vancouver goalkeeper Jay Nolly said. "If it was something where it was a 10-game series against a team, the quality side would definitely shine through. With something like this, it's whoever plays better on that day." "We know where that leads if we continue to go further in that tournament," De Rosario said. "It's a tournament where I think of pride for our fans and for us here in Toronto. It's a tournament I think that we definitely should win." For now, Toronto can play the part of the Yankees. Next year, that changes, although not necessarily for good. FC Edmonton will join Montreal in what will be known as the NASL next year, raising the possibility that the tournament could expand. And should it expand? "I'm going to be very honest with you: When I look at our schedule, no," Dos Santos said." But when I look at Canadian soccer, yes. I think, in a lot of years from now, you're going to have a Canadian league with the best Canadian players. But when you look at the schedule right now for the Montreal Impact, if you add another team, and add two more games, you just have to make sure the season goes longer." For the underdog appeal, it might be worth it. firstname.lastname@example.com Previous Next

Hagler dominated his era of middleweights and also fought Leonard, Hearns and Duran. He wasn't a big middleweight by any means at 5'9, Leonard and Duran were eye-to-eye with him and Hearns towered over him.
Don't make excuses for Hagler. So what he was 5'9. He started at MW, yet couldn't KO much smaller Duran. Lost to Leonard at MW, while he was active and the bigger guy.
Marquez is a 36 year old former featherweight. He hasn't proven
above lightweight, unlike Duran, Leonard and Hearns did.
What did Duran prove at 154, before he was KO'd by Herans??? Yet this is Herans best win. Losing to Benitez and Laing and beating a green Moore in his 12th fight IS proving yourself??
One of his losses was a blatant robbery. He was only 21 years old at the time of these fights, fighting in his opponents' hometowns. Later on he avenged both losses in devastating fashion.
Didn't Floyd win a world title at 21??? Yet Hagler couldn't KO a bum at age of 21.
Image View Removed. Please Click
Greatness right there
Hagler was even younger when he drew with Sugar Ray Seales (in Seales's hometown), the Olympic Gold medalist and highly regarded prospect. Hagler had previously beaten him, and went onto beat Seales again.
Hagler drew in his first title challenge against Vito Antuofermo. The decision should have gone to Hagler.
He beat an Olympic gold medalist. That is nothing. Winning a gold medal in amateurs is nothing compared to a real pro fight. It was obvious his style was not suited to professional ranks. Hagler shouldn't been drawing with nobodies, he is ranked a top 20 ATG, which is a obvious mistake
There was no controversy about Hagler. He came up the hard way, fighting for small purses in his opponents' hometowns, establishing himself as a contender by beating all the tough Philadelphia middleweights as well as the number 1 middleweight contender at the time. He went to England and took the title away from Alan Minter, defending it against all comers.
He changed his name. Leonard said no to him in front of his face, Racist attacks in England. I just listed 3 controversies surrounding Hagler.
A lot of ATG's have been KO'd more than 4 times. One of these stoppage losses was due to an injury when he was 40+ years old, two of them above his best weight at middleweight, one of them in the 14th round when Hearns had run out of stamina.
Getting KO'd by another great fighter is understandable. But getting KO'd nobodies and getting outboxed them is shameful.
Wins over welterweight champ Pipino Cuevas as well as Bruce Curry, Angel Espada, Eddie Gazo, Saensak Muangsurin, Randy Shields, Clyde Gray, Harold Weston
Wins over light middleweight champ Wilfred Benitez and Roberto Duran as well as Luigi Minchillo, Mark Medal, Fred Hutchings
Wins over middleweight contenders Juan Roldan, Doug DeWitt, James Shuler, James Kinchen, Michael Olajide, Mike Colbert, Marcos Geraldo
Wins over light heavyweight champ Virgil Hill and Dennis Andries
Some good wins there. No GREAT wins IMO. There are many contenders in boxing these days and those days.
No skill?
Esteban DeJesus a bum? That's the same as calling Jose Luis Castillo a bum.
Duran was considered past it when he was over 30 years old and had fought more than 70-80 times as a professional.
Duran had lost once in 70 fights while in his prime. Obviously the losses start piling up when you are nearly/over 40 years of age and fight at 160+ lbs. He fought until he was fifty.
He had wins over world champions from featherweight up to middleweight.
Why do post videos??? Just amazing how Duran can be considered as great defensive fighter. Ask Hearns how great his defense is. Duran defense is good as Hatton. He was extremely flat footed and didn't move his head when needed
Castillo resume is better than Esteban DeJesus. That is a fact

Leonard is a fraud for waiting Hagler to get old. Hagler also embarrassed himself not being able to KO a natural WW.

Fear of violence and intimidation is forcing thousands of people to flee their homes. There are now over 110,000 refugees from Burundi in Tanzania.
Tens of thousands are in urgent need of clean water, adequate sanitation, health care, food and shelter.
Without these basic needs being met, the risk of disease is dangerously high. Oxfam is there, but funds are urgently needed to provide essential materials such as tents, water pipes, water storage tanks and medical supplies.

Tanzamia is hosting over 110,000 Burundians within two camps, Nyarugusu and Nduta, and more refugees are arriving in their hundreds every day. Many people are still living in overcrowded mass shelters months after their arrival, where wet floors and cramped conditions mean that the risk of respiratory infections and waterborne diseases is high. If arrival numbers spike in the coming weeks and the current lack of funding continues, the crisis will only get worse.
Jane Foster, Oxfam's Country Director in Tanzania, said: "Nyarugusu camp is already the third largest refugee camp in the world, and Nduta is growing by the day, yet the situation for Burundians in Tanzania is struggling for attention and adequate funding."
Oxfam is responding in Kagunga and Nyarugusu refugee camp, working with local partners TWESA to provide enough clean water for all, as well as building more toilets and carrying out hygiene education among the refugee community to reduce the risk of the spread of disease. Cholera has been confirmed in both locations, with over 200 cholera cases in one camp, so educating people about how the disease is transmitted, and how to avoid this, is critical.

Final Oscar Predictions Update: Big Show is Sunday, It's Now or Never
by Joey Magidson
February 28, 2014
At long last, it's time for my final Oscar predictions. I'm going to keep things slightly light on the commentary, since we've been discussing this so much, there's really not much left to do but plant your feet firmly in one direction or the other. I'll quickly be giving some analysis for the major categories, but much of what I've said remains true from my post-nomination predictions. A number of races are likely over, but a handful of the big ones are definitely up for grabs, which has me both excited and nervous. There's never been a year where I've expected to do worse with my predictions that this, but that's the sign of a tight race.
Best Picture is basically a coin flip. Convincing arguments can be made for both 12 Years a Slave and Gravity, with enough spoiler talk for American Hustle keeping it a firm hold in third place. How did I wind up making my decision? Simply put, I decided to avoid predicting a split between Best Picture and Best Director, as you'll see below. A case can be made for all three of these, but in the end I'm sticking with the most prudent line of thinking, which is to avoid the split.
With Best Director, we're all pretty sure that Alfonso Cuarón is holding off Steve McQueen and David O. Russell here, so by that token, that informed my thinking in the Picture category, which clearly is also a 12 Years a Slave (McQueen) vs American Hustle (Russell) vs Gravity (Cuarón) match-up. Now, if there's a split, it's far more likely to be a different movie taking Picture than a different director taking this Oscar, but then again, this is the year to break the rules. Still, Cuarón is the very safe bet, which only helps Gravity.
Best Actor is thankfully a pretty easy category to predict, as Matthew McConaughey is all but locked in. Leonardo DiCaprio has fallen way back (and The Wolf of Wall Street is likely to get shut out), so if there's an upset, it's coming from Bruce Dern (ditto for Nebraska in terms of a shut out) or more likely Chiwetel Ejiofor (especially if 12 Years a Slave is poised to take Best Picture) here. That being said, don't expect an upset, so this could/should be the start of a pretty good night for Dallas Buyers Club.
In Best Actress, what was apparently a tightening race between Amy Adams and Cate Blanchett has now more or less gone back to Blanchett well in the lead. A strong night for American Hustle could tip things back to Adams, but I wouldn't bet on even that keeping Blanchett from her second Academy Award on Sunday. Woody Allen's current issues might have sunk Blue Jasmine from having any shot in the Original Screenplay race, but it won't matter here.
Really, there's nothing to be said about Best Supporting Actor than to say that Jared Leto is going to win, so I won't say anything else. Mark Leto down in permanent marker for this particular category and move on, with Dallas Buyers Club picking up trophy number two.
On the flip side, Best Supporting Actress is the second closest race of them all, and easily the tightest of the acting categories, and another 12 Years a Slave vs American Hustle contest. Jennifer Lawrence and Lupita Nyong'o have vacillated back and forth for the last few weeks, and it seems like at the last moment Lawrence may have sneaked back into the lead, but it wouldn't surprise me one bit if Nyong'o is able to hold her off. If the latter's movie wins Best Picture, that can only help her cause, but since I'm not predicting that, I'm not predicting her either.
Best Adapted Screenplay is most likely going to go to 12 Years a Slave, but as I mentioned in my recent piece on potential Oscar night shutouts, watch out for Philomena. It's coming on strong at the last minute and will make things a little more tense for John Ridley than he expected. In the end, I think Steve Coogan and Jeff Pope will come up short, but they very well could pull off the upset, so watch out for that.
Finally, Best Original Screenplay is another close contest, with Spike Jonze seemingly in a great spot to win the Oscar here for Her, but the fly in the ointment being that this could be the spot to finally reward the aforementioned Russell for the American Hustle script he co-wrote with Eric Warren Singer. The statistics point to a Jonze victory though, so that's what I've picked.
Here now, at last, are my final predictions:
1. Gravity
2. 12 Years a Slave
3. American Hustle
4. Philomena
5. Nebraska
6. Captain Phillips
7. Her
8. The Wolf of Wall Street

So what's the final tally look like? By my predictions, Gravity will have the best night by far on Sunday, taking home seven Oscars, with the closest film behind it being Dallas Buyers Club with three wins. The only other movies with multiple trophies here are American Hustle and the animated contender Frozen, both of which only wind up with two. The other films only manage one each, making for a top heavy end. What do you think of all my final predictions? Who do you have taking home the big prizes?

This Novembers Doom's EP is a semi decent collection of three melancholy tracks which should be experienced for only two or three listenings.
The overall sound quality is pretty good, guitars are heavy and somewhat clean, drums are mixed properly and the growling is well done. However, all of these mentioned above doesn't makes this release outstanding at all.
The riffing is heavy but it lacks any unique identity. There are no catchy moments with the rhythm guitars, just extended general slow heaviness without any climax. The leading guitars are fine, quite melodic, but they just don't have that cutting edge that makes you feel anything remarkable. The only thing that raises this EP from being completely generic doom release are the occasional female vocals that increase a dramatic vibe and have that operatic feeling that goes well with the heavy riffs.
Overall, it's a semi decent short release. I enjoyed it the first listenings but for the long range it's just another leaf that fall...
This three song EP is possibly one of the best EP's of all time. The songs were later seen on 'Of Sculpted Ivy & Stone Flowers' and they are slightly different on both releases.
The production is pretty good and the tracks clear. The songs are played slower on this than on the follow up album. This is the recording that defined the bands sound. The guitars, courtesy of the brilliant (and new) Eric Burnley, are amazing. They are a wall of sound that is both melodic and heavy. The atmosphere they create is mind blowing. The leads & rhythms are spell binding and evoke feelings of hope and despair.
The bass provided by the bands new bassist Mary Bielich, is stunning. They way she weaves in and out of Eric's melodies is impressive to say the least. The drums are very creative and unique, avoiding all the clichés of the style. All together, the instruments are very ambitious and work well together.
The vocals are brutal and as always, top notch! Its quite impossible to find better Death Metal vocalist. Period! The lyrics are the typical fare for the band, but they're more in depth than on the prior release and not as abstract.
This is nothing short of brilliant Doomdeath Metal. This is highly recommended for all into the style.
(Side Note: This EP was added to the re-release of 'To Welcome the Fade'. There are two additional live tracks added; "Lost in a Day" & "Not the Strong" as well as a bootleg video for 'Within my Flesh". They showcase the band in a live setting for those of us not fortunate enough to see them. In short, they are incredible.

Fergie is featured in the new issue of "Self" magazine. She discussed her husband's signature dish, what they do on the weekend, and working out together.
Fergie said her husband, Josh Duhamel, always makes her his fabulous lasagna.
Fergie told the magazine, "[He] makes the best lasagna, and I do the dishes. I find it cathartic."
When it comes to the weekend, the couple lies low. "On Saturday nights, we like going to mass, then dinner. It feeds our spiritual side, and it's great to hear Josh sing in church — he's a great singer. Then we go out and have a really nice wine, like all good Catholics," says Fergie.
Fergie's workout plans include going to the gym with friends and even Josh. "Working out with Josh inspires me, but he is competitive. And loud!" she explains. "So are the Peas. Men scream and go crazy in the gym. I'm a silent workout partner, but when my adrenaline gets up, I talk trash."

johnr:codyc1515:johnr: The joys of unlimited internet
Unlimited Internet worked perfectly fine for me when Big Time was around. It comes down to network management, in the end. Also, I have a friend in Spain (I know, I know, its not New Zealand) who gets 10GB ADSL + Unlimited 3G for ?70 and the speeds are excellent for him too.
unlimited 3G please name provider and plan so we can look at the T&Cs
If you are interested 3 mobile in the UK offer unlimited 3G, i was able to pull ~200GB at full speed each month while there on holiday.
Speed is nowhere near as good as any NZ network though, not because of shaping but just the sheer number of users over there.

What have yo done to configure the interface?
Thanks for your response.
My system has two cards one is working with 8139too driver in Redhat5, But the another that i recently bought not working with that tried all options but of no use . i have 8139cp module also in my linux that also didnt work for my new NIC card (Advik Lan card).This second new nic works fine with XP.I tried ndiswrapper also that i configured as wan0 interface ,intrestingly it works but if i remove the lan cable from working first nic, my wan0 (Nic2) not working seems nic2 not using nic cable . Whats the use of ndiswrapper driver ?.
In some cases it is the only way to get some cards to work under linux.
unable to ethernet card in ifconfig
Dear all,
i have Hangzhou silan micro. co. LTD.SC92031 pci fast ethernet card
as per instruction. i executed modprobe 8139too
and it loaded successfully. but next what to do.
i issued ifconfig but it is not listed there.
it is only lo
what to do for that
Try the command 'ifconfig eth0 up' This will try to activate the eth0 interface. Of course for it to work you have to have the correct driver loaded. The output will look something like this:
the module for silan SC92031 isn't "8139too" nor "8139cp", it's "sc92031". but AFAIK you need a kernel > 2.6.20 to get that module already included, or compile it yourself
it is not working
Yes dear i tried ifconfig...
it is not eth0 interface...
once it is shown i can issue ifconfig eth0 up or ifup eth0
when i issued lspci -v it is showing Silan SC92031 PCI fast ethernet adapter
physically on the card it is written RTL 8139D..
so i dont know how it loades 8139d module
currently i am googling internet for the right drivers
there isn't "8139d" module. you need "sc92031" module.
but you won't get it include on 2.6.18 kernel, which is the one redhat/centos 5 uses. probably you should compile the module yourself
my linux kernel is 2.6.18-194.el5xen
Dear as listed in title i am using redhat 5.5 kernel 2.6.18-194.el5xen.
i downloaded kernel source RPM. also i downloaded sc92031 tar.gz package but i suspect it is is for 2.4.x
then i tried rpm -ivh ...src.rpm
but is giving error .i.e unable to locate %sources ...
after that i created redhat directory manually...and then i executed rpm -ivh again..
this time error was mockbuilder unable to find user ...(didnot remember full path)
once i am able to install kernel source rpm, i will try to follow instruction written in readme.txt of sc92031
but if you can provide me link to right source rpm file and command to install this rpm package ..i can check wheter sc92031 can be installed or not.
