Not long before Dad passed away, we walked in the fields near my home in Florida, debating the likelihood of another world war.
I said it was highly unlikely. The Cold War proved that weapons of mass destruction were a great deterrent. And even the Cold War was over.
He argued that the Middle East crisis had never been resolved, that it was the epicentre of hatred throughout the Muslim world, stretching from North Africa to East Asia.
He did not expect the kind of World War III that we used to fear in the 1950s. But he said he'd be surprised if the world could avoid a low-level world war spreading from region to region.
I tried to disuade him of that notion. But now it looks like I was wrong and he was right.
Recently, I took another walk, this time by myself. I was in downtown Manhattan, at Ground Zero.
The walk around the cavity is about 12 city blocks. Stopping and starting, it took me about 20 minutes, prompting some thoughts I want to share with you now.
Unfinished Wars
On Church Street, to the east of the cavity, I stop briefly before the WTC Memorial, and I remember the first weeks after 9/11.
That's when the Taliban in Afghanistan was defiantly refusing to turn over Osama bin Laden. So the U.S. began air strikes against Afghan military installations and terrorist training camps.
Just three months later, the Taliban regime collapsed and its troops fled their last stronghold in the southern city of Kandahar.
Everyone thought that was the end. It was over. We won. But they thought wrong.
Now, here we are, five years later. The Afghan war is far from over. Three new wars have begun. Several more are on the immediate horizon.
Even at this very moment, critical events are taking place that could accelerate the pace of change:
Afghanistan: Right now, it's close to 8 a.m. in the East, 4 p.m. in Afghanistan, Monday, July 31. NATO troops are in the process of taking over security in the south from the U.S.-led coalition.
But the timing is terrible: The region is going through its bloodiest phase of violence since the fall of the Taliban in 2001.
Just last week, hundreds of Taliban fighters attacked a western Afghan government building with rocket-propelled grenades and machine guns in one of their boldest strikes ever.
Just yesterday, Taliban insurgents threatened to kill an engineer captured in the south.
The new NATO commander, Lt. Gen. David Richards, thinks he has a solution. On Saturday he announced he's going to do more than just target the Taliban. He says he's also going after the powerful warlords running the lucrative opium trade.
Problem: NATO has only 9,000 troops to cover rugged mountain terrain the size of Texas.
By contrast, when the Soviets invaded and occupied Afghanistan in the 1980s, they used over 500,000 troops. Their death toll alone — more than 15,000 — was far more than the total number of NATO troops deployed in the country today. And still, the Taliban ultimately won.
Iraq: The Pentagon has just extended the tour of 4,000 U.S. troops, expanding the total number in Iraq. But now the troops have a new, far tougher mission:
Instead of just putting down an insurgency, they also have to stop a civil war. Instead of fighting one amorphous enemy, they're fighting many — jihadists, Shiite militias and often, even corrupt government forces themselves.
Last week, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki told Congress that, if the U.S. loses in Iraq, it will be a monumental victory for worldwide terrorism, an event that could be tragic in its consequences.
What he failed to mention, however, is the corollary tragedy: Even if the U.S. prevails in Iraq, it could be a victory for Iran.
Reason: The U.S. has little more than a short-term alliance with the Shiite leaders of Iraq, based on convenience and expediency. In contrast, Iran has a long-term alliance with the Shiite leaders, based on decades of mutual suffering against Saddam … long years of joint training exercises … deeply shared religious beliefs … and intimate contacts that continue to this very day.
Iran: When most Americans see the news of war between Lebanon and Israel, they still don't make the connection to the looming conflict with Iran. But others do.
In Tehran this weekend, Iranian officials, former officials and analysts said a conflict with the West is now so likely they're deathly afraid to even talk about it. Their interpretation: Israel's war against the Hezbollah in Lebanon is actually America's first salvo in its coming war against Iran.
The view coming out of Washington this week is very similar, but in reverse: Hezbollah was created by Iran, financed by Iran and armed by Iran. Hezbollah is Iran's front line. Ergo, Hezbollah's incursion into Israel is Iran's way of attacking the West.
This is precisely what I explained here last week. Connect the dots, and you'll see that, indirectly, Iran and U.S. are already at war.
Syria: Last week, Syria warned it would not allow Israeli planes to approach its borders, threatening to jump into the war if that happened.
But this weekend, Israel bombed targets less than one mile from the Syrian border, destroying the Lebanese immigration office building.
Syrian forces have already been put onto their highest state of alert. Israel has called up 15,000 reservists that could be dispatched as reinforcements to the Golan Heights, disputed between the two countries.
Rockets made in Syria have been discovered among the many fired into Israel. Anger is at the boiling point. Despite diplomatic efforts by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Israel and Syria are edging closer to direct military conflict.
Other possible wars and revolutions. Oil-rich Saudi Arabia, a staunch supporter of the Sunnis in Iraq, could be dragged into the conflict. Turkey, an avowed enemy of the Kurds in Iraq, has sworn to send in troops just as soon as Iraqi Kurdistan splits away from Iraq.
Central Asia is a powder keg, including not only Chechnya, which has been decimated by two wars, but also the former Soviet Republics of Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kazakhstan. India and Pakistan are on the brink. North African nations are also shaky.
Wall Street Oblivious
To the Real Dangers
I walk down Vesey Street and stop again to peer into the deep pit. Its depth never ceases to amaze me.
Its proximity to the world's financial core is also impossible to ignore — the New York Stock Exchange just a few blocks away … the American Exchange even closer … the New York Mercantile Exchange where energy futures are traded … the Nasdaq everywhere and nowhere … the U.S. government securities markets also scattered in many locations.
But strangely, on Friday, investors in most of these markets celebrated.
They seemed to be happy that U.S. the economy has slowed down. They didn't seem to care about the causes — the fact that the economy is choking on higher interest rates and feeling the pinch of surging fuel costs.
Instead, these investors think the bad news is actually "good news." Because, they say, it should prompt Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and his cohorts to be more merciful when they meet on August 8 … maybe to even leave interest rates unchanged for a change.
Ironic, isn't it?
The WTC Memorial is just down the street. And from the Memorial, it doesn't take a great leap of logic to connect the dots to the wars raging in the Persian Gulf and the Middle East … to surging energy prices … to the main reason why interest rates are rising … to the main reason why the U.S. economy is slowing … and to the threat of still more oil price surges and still more rate hikes ahead.
Yet, investors still don't get it. They buy what they should sell; shun what they should buy.
Until recently, I could understand the disconnect. Many of the conflicts seemed subdued or suppressed. Or they simply failed to rise to a level of significance that might dent the powerful economic growth engines of the industrial world.
But now, all that's changing. Now, the conflicts are approaching critical mass, with a far greater impact on our economy and on our daily life than anyone dreamed possible a year or two ago.
So no matter how tired you may be of the drumbeat of CNN or Fox News night after night, you can ignore this danger no more. You must sit up, listen and recognize it for what it really is: Not just a worldwide war on terror … but also, potentially,
A Low-Level
World War III
I'm referring to a worldwide war on terrorism combined with spreading regional wars like we've seen in Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel, Palestine and Lebanon.
Most people, including many experts in many governments, think about these far-away conflicts in just one dimension: Radical Muslim movements; anti-American or anti-Western violence.
In reality, they stem from multi-dimensional, multi-cultural fissures, and many of these fissures have already ruptured … or seem about to do so soon.
The most critical fissure is economic. With a few notable exceptions, corrupt, filthy-rich despots, monopolists and oligarchs control most of the wealth in the Muslim world.
Even in the richest of them all, Saudi Arabia, thousands of royal princes have a lock hold on the most strategic positions in government, commerce and industry.
At the same time, throughout these regions, desperate, downtrodden urban and rural poor have little or no access to adequate housing and modern sanitation — let alone good health care or education.
The second fissure is ethnic. Within the Muslim world, wealth and power is typically controlled by the Sunnis, the majority sect; while the poor and powerless are more numerous among the minority sect, the Shiites.
Another major fissure is cultural. The elites are modern and Westernized. The masses are not. In a few countries, middle classes are struggling to emerge, but in most areas, they are being squeezed, forced to move out.
A fourth fissure is religious. Islamic fundamentalists clash with more moderate Muslims, and both clash with Christians, Jews, Hindus and others. Even as far East as the island of Mindanao in the Philippines, Muslim fundamentalism is the primary ideological tool used by militants and insurgents to recruit members.
The fifth is historical. The protagonists trace their conflicts through millenniums of battles, wars and massacres. Using a mix of historical fact, legend and myth, they build a pseudo-moral case for revenge and martyrdom.
The sixth and most frightening fissure is military. Virtually all of the hot spots I've told you about are like armed camps. That includes established regimes armed to the teeth. Plus it includes ubiquitous stashes of dangerous weapons outside the control of the authorities — in hideaways, places of worship, homes, even schools.
Dangerous Alignment
A wind seems to blow more strongly as I leave the protective barriers of Ground Zero behind me. I remember that all these conflicts and fissures have been with us for many years. So what has really changed?
It's simply this: In the past, each fissure was on a different plane, with differing consequences, occurring at different times. Now, the globe seems to have rotated in such a way that the fissures — and the anger they generate — are coming into dangerous alignment.
Each of the lines of conflict — the vast economic chasms, the deep cultural voids, the wide political divisions, the die-hard religious and ethnic hatreds — are coming into synch along one axis and with one by-product: violent change.
With the war in Iraq and the latest blow-up in the Middle East, radical movements are gaining far more prestige, public support and financing. Moderate leaders, meanwhile, are losing public support, even becoming a laughing stock.
The impact is self-evident:
First, more inflation. The global conflicts will inevitably disrupt supplies of critical commodities.
Already oil pipelines are being blown up almost daily.
Already, as I showed you last week, even before any significant supply disruptions, most commodity prices have surged.
Reason: Governments all over the world are pumping up the demand for commodities with liberal doses of paper money.
One of the missing elements in the inflation puzzle has been wage inflation. Wages were mostly stable. So economists everywhere said inflation was not a concern.
Now, however, wage inflation is also beginning to kick in. We've seen a substantial uptick in average salaries in the most recent government releases. And in the next few days, Congress will approve a substantial hike in the minimum wage.
Last week, the House voted 230-180 to raise it by a whopping 41% from $5.15 an hour to $7.25 by mid-2009. It's long overdue for the poor. But it's too much too soon for an economy that's already suffering from a sinking dollar and out-of-control commodity prices.
Result: Despite the slowdown in the economy, inflation will continue to get worse.
Second, stronger energy stocks. You saw the blow-out earnings. You saw the energy stocks turn sharply higher last week. And you can see that nothing in the long, 3-year-plus trend has changed. This is exactly what we've been saying would happen all along. Now it's moving along according to script.
Third, higher interest rates. If the Fed doesn't raise interest rates on August 8, it will send a message to the world that it's not serious about inflation after all. Foreign investors will dump they U.S. dollar. They'll dump U.S. bonds. And that alone will drive up interest rates regardless of the Fed.
That's the main reason I think the Fed will raise rates. Fed Chairman Bernanke has already lost credibility by not acting more firmly against inflation a lot sooner. If he wimps out come August 8, he'll fall even further behind the curve. And later, he'll be forced to raise rates that much more.
Fourth, major bear markets in key industry sectors. Housing and construction companies. Mortgage lenders. Retail chains.
The silver lining: Higher interest rates also give you the opportunity to earn higher yields — provided you build your savings and you don't make the mistake of locking in still-low interest rates.
So keep a big portion of your money safe. Stay liquid and flexible. And be healthy.
Good luck and God bless!

I'll Show You Mine, Now You Show Me Yours
She asked, I delivered. Yep, that's me. In powder blue terry cloth that matched my sister, and the ubiquitous girl mullet. I just wish my dad had scanned in the one with me "thinking about" my sister as her face floated above my head. (What was up with that anyway? What a weird thing to do.)
Worst part is, there are much more embarrassing photos in the set it's a part of on Flickr. And yeah, with a tiny bit of clicking, you can see those, too.
On the bright side, compared to that? I look pretty darn fabulous now.
So I did it. Now it's your turn. Let's see your awkward photos. And please, link me back so I can find them. On days like today when there are no naps and many, many poopy diapers and wet "big girl panties", I might just need it.
*EDITED to add:
I just had to. Is that not the worst photo ever? The perm! The "wet look" gel! The pattern on my shirt and the pinky ring!
Yep, looking at that photo definitely boosts my self esteem now. Uff da.

Recently ran into this issue where I was trying to enable mod_rewrite thru the httpd.conf file. I went in to edit it and saved it. They I went to restart the apache service. And I would get this issue:
After some time searching and messing around I found the issue. It was because of permissions. My way of getting around this issue maybe a bit more complex then needed but it works.
1. Go download Notepad++ and install it.
2. Once installed go to the programs directory. Generally its "C:\Program Files (x86)\notepad++\" and find the application notepad++.exe.
3. Right click on said program and select "Properties."
4. Hit the "Compatibility" tab, and check the box at the bottom – "Run this program as an administrator."
5. Hit "Apply"
6. Now open Notepad++ and go to the location of your httpd.conf file location. Generally its "C:\apache\conf\."
7. Once your done editing it save it as "httpd.conf.bak1"
8. Now go to your httpd.conf file location. Copy the current httpd.conf file and paste it in that directory as a backup.
9. Delete the current httpd.conf file. Rename the httpd.conf.bak1 file to httpd.conf
10. Restart Apache and see if it works.
I would be glad to help if it doesn't work for you. This was a total pain for me, but hopefully I can help someone else that runs into this issue.

Work Permit
Work Permit
Foreigners normally need a valid work permit before working in Canada.
Before applying for a work permit, the potential employer of the foreign temporary worker may have to apply for a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from Human Resources and Social Development Canada. A positive assessment indicates that the hiring of a foreign temporary worker will not have a negative impact on the Canadian labour market, from the fact that the employer was not otherwise able to hire a local Canadian worker for the same position.
Under specific situations, an LMIA may not be required* before applying for a work permit; however, generally all temporary workers require a work permit** before they can begin any work in Canada.
All work permits are specific to the terms and conditions of the temporary foreign worker's employment, including job description, length of employment, employment conditions, etc. Upon arrival, or during the course of employment, should any of their employment terms and conditions change, the foreign temporary worker must notify the appropriate department to amend the conditions of their work permit.
A member of the immigration professionals at Mamann, Sandaluk & Kingwell can help you with your work permit needs and specific circumstances. Contact us today for a consultation and we can answer any work permit questions that you may have.
*Certain categories of employment are exempted from the requirements of obtaining a work permit, as defined in the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) statutes or regulations. Please call Mamann, Sandaluk & Kingwell for a consultation to find out more.
** Certain temporary workers are exempted from the requirements of obtaining an LMIA, as per certain treaty agreements. Please call Mamann, Sandaluk & Kingwell for a consultation to find out more.

Bought the unit and used the H2) MOP X5 Steam Cleaner twice, and for less than ten minutes total each time. Third and subsequent attempts have proven that this was a poor choice to have purchased.
The water does not heat up, does NOT produce steam, it only leaves puddles of cold water that squirt out of the unit even after reading and resetting the unit on several attempts. DO NOT BUY

Broadcom buys femtocell chip maker
5 comments
SAN JOSE, Calif. - Broadcom Corp. has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Percello Ltd., a privately-held company that develops system-on-a-chip (SoC) solutions for femtocells, for $86 million in cash.
With the move, Broadcom enters into an emerging market. Femtocells are small, low power cellular base stations that extend coverage indoors where signals are weak.
Percello, an Israeli fabless semiconductor company, recently demonstrated its femtocell chip--the PRC6100. The PRC6100 is said to maximizes digital integration on a single chip to deliver the lowest cost and greatest security available for an HSPA+ femtocell. The chip contains high speed MIPS24Kc CPU, peripherals, femtocell L1 engine (FLE) and embedded DDR memory. The PRC6100 is compliant with 3GPP HNB specs. It supports at least eight users and offers HSPA+ data rates of 21.6 Mbps downstream and 5.76 Mbps upstream.
In connection with the acquisition, Broadcom expects to pay approximately $86 million, net of cash assumed from Percello, to acquire all of the outstanding shares of capital stock and other rights of Percello. The boards of directors of the two companies have approved the acquisition. The transaction is expected to close in Broadcom's fourth quarter, 2010 or by the end of Broadcom's first quarter, March 31, 2011 and remains subject to customary closing conditions.
Broadcom also reported unaudited financial results for its third quarter ended Sept. 30. Net revenue for the third quarter of 2010 was a record $1.806 billion. This represents an increase in net revenue of 12.6% compared with the $1.604 billion reported for the second quarter of 2010 and an increase of 44% compared with the $1.254 billion reported for the third quarter of 2009.
Net income computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for the third quarter of 2010 was $327 million, or $.60 per share (diluted), compared with GAAP net income of $278 million, or $.52 per share (diluted), for the second quarter of 2010, and GAAP net income of $85 million, or $.16 per share (diluted), for the third quarter of 2009.

Mazda Motor Corp said its group sales and profits in all categories hit record highs in the year through March 31, driven by a weaker yen and strong overseas demand for its vehicles.
Mazda, the Japanese affiliate of Ford Motor Co., said its fiscal 2006 group net profit grew 10.5 per cent from the pervious year to Y73.74 billion ($A747.45 million) on sales of Y3.25 trillion ($A32.94 billion), up 11.2 per cent.
Its consolidated operating profit jumped 28.4 per cent to Y158.53 billion ($A1.61 billion). Pretax profit also rose 25.9 per cent to Y127.53 billion ($A1.29 billion).
Mazda boosted group sales and profits for the sixth consecutive year.
It will pay a dividend of Y6 ($A0.60) per share for fiscal 2006, up Y1 ($A0.10) from the previous year's dividend.
During the latest reporting period, Mazda's global auto sales rose 2.0 per cent to 1,302,000 units. Sales grew 8.0 per cent to 380,000 units in North America and 6.7 per cent to 301,000 units in Europe, backed by brisk sales of vehicles such as the MX-5 sports car, the Mazda5 minivan and the CX-7 crossover sport utility vehicle.
Mazda's domestic sales fell 8.6 per cent to 261,000 units.
For this business year, Mazda, which is seeking to set up a new car assembly plant with Ford in Thailand, said it expects to generate a group net profit of Y85 billion ($A861.5 million) yen, up 15.3 per cent from fiscal 2006, and a pretax profit of 140 billion, up 9.6 per cent, on sales of Y3.32 trillion ($A33.6 billion) yen, up 2.2 per cent.
The automaker anticipates global auto sales of 1,350,000 units for fiscal 2007, up 3.7 per cent.
North American sales are estimated at 403,000 units, up 6.1 percent, and European sales at 321,000 units, up 5.6 per cent. Mazda projects domestic sales of 262,000 units, up 0.5 per cent.

Okay so yesterday I saw an article about a little boy named Cutter. I was just wondering what y'all think about this name. By no means would I ever name my little boy this, as I see it more of a word not even. Honest opinions and trust me I won't be offended. Thanks!Harper Finley, Lila Mary, Rory Addison, Reagan Mailys, Bryn Olivia

Well, my first thought was cookie cutters, then my mind turned to self-harm. It's a no from me.

To be honest, I'm a huge fan of the Warriors book series, so I think of the term for 'vet' in those books....and it's not exactly positive. Plus, it reminds me of evil, crazy people inflicting pain on others. In the long run I'll say: Poor kid.

I can understand where they got it from, since it is a surname sometimes. But by no means do I think it's a good idea for a first name. Yikes.g w e n

females, yes
males, no and you're pathetic for even considering this
I've wondered this too...
I have a jew nose and outcropping ears.
I could fix everything for $10k and I have the money to do it. I wonder it would be a worthy investment.....
But user, people are more likely to give their money to an attractive person than not attractive. Look at any of the hundreds of studies proving it...
From blue collar scum to CEO 10k/day
Just chew gum, don't breath through your mouth, and practice good oral posture
Mewing is a scam
its not a scam if you're getting results doing it for free
I've been mewing much longer than you. The Mews and their henchmen are nothing more than grimey snakeoil salesmen trying to make a quick buck off desperate ugly people. There is a reason top orthodontists think he's a looney.
post jaw
that wouldn't be any different than just moving to a wealthier city because people "earn more" there. what quality do you possess that being arguably more attractive will emphasize and reward?
more likely to get a job because better looking
If I was an employer, I wouldnt give a **** if my employees are ugly as fuck as long as they are hard workers/pass background checks
You might if you were selling anything irl, retard.
Customer: "hmm, I need to buy this shit, where shall I go, to the shop with friendly attractive girls staffing it, or the one with hardworking ugly hunchedbacked man trolls with skin diseases and bad breath"
Looks don't matter right. That's why the iPhone is not a success and why most CEOs are ugly.
It's worth it if you have potential, you need a decent eye area, hair etc. So normal invisible sub8 guys can benefit from it usually.
cope like the pope
Plus if they mess up, you can go on Botched or be a supervillain.
tfw limb lenghtening surgery is still dangerous and extremely painful
nose and boobjob done in your lunch break
women, living life in easy mode again
Why would you want to expand your chin?
So you can be bitchslapped more easily?
This. Once I become a billionaire off of bitcoin I'm going to do plastic surgery. You may think bitcoiners are all ugly nerds now but wait until we become filthy rich chads. Nocoiners are all crying in the corner because they know this will happen.
you would but your subconscious mind would not
stop being dumb, people like being close to nice looking people ffs
you wont see ugly fucks in commercials, you wont see short CEOs (quick, find one short CEO to prove my rule wrong with this anomaly)
not talking about sales positions either, people will just project qualities on handsome people and pick them over slightly more capable ugly dude
This post is really sad since bitcoin price is going to keep stagnating indefinitely. 20 years from now when bitcoin is $300/bitcoin you are still going to be waiting for moon. I guess everyone needs some type of hope though or else you would just kys.

Concerns raised after police forces deny FoI conviction request on cost grounds
Campaigners have raised concerns about police recording systems after forces said it would cost too much to retrieve information on officers' criminal records.
The Press Association asked every force in the UK how many officers and police community support officers (PCSOs) had been convicted of offences since 2012.
Data was also requested on the number of serving staff with criminal convictions.
Nearly half of the 45 forces - 20 - declined to provide either part or all of the information asked for on the grounds that the work involved in complying would exceed cost and time limits.
The Freedom of Information (FoI) Act allows authorities to refuse requests if they calculate that the amount of work needed to retrieve the data means it will cost more than £450 to comply.
Guidance from the Information Commissioner's Office states that agencies should rate staff time at £25 per person per hour, regardless of whether the work is outsourced or done internally. This means a limit of 18 staff hours per request.
A handful of forces did not respond at all.
Katherine Gundersen, of the Campaign for Freedom of Information, said: " The variation in responses is striking.
"While it may be understandable that some forces aren't able to provide details of all convictions if this would require them to search through thousands of individual personnel files for historical convictions, it's a serious concern that many forces apparently have no efficient way of retrieving information about recent convictions.
"This raises questions about how effectively they monitor and record the criminal conduct of their own officers."
Figures that were provided revealed that 309 officers and PCSOs have been convicted of offences in the past three years, including sex crimes, assaults and possessing indecent images of children.
At least 295 police officers and PCSOs with convictions are currently serving, according to figures from 18 forces.
Most services refused to disclose the names of the officers involved in crimes, arguing that identifying them would breach data protection laws.
The Government has launched a review of the FoI Act to consider whether it should be harder for the public to obtain details about the inner workings of Whitehall.
Sir Jeremy Heywood, the head of the civil service, has suggested that fear of the FoI Act could lead to officials being "less candid" with Government ministers because their correspondence could be published.

Review by kmunsey
Wilfrid lives next to a retirement home, filled with folks like "Mrs. Jordan who played the organ" and "Mr. Hosking who told him scary stories." But his favorite old person is 96-year-old Miss Nancy. Everyone says Miss Nancy has lost her memory, and despite the fact that Wilfrid doesn't even know what a memory is, by accident he helps her find it.
Review by cnbryant
This book could be used for Writer's Workshop using the topic of "Memories." Students could write about their favorite memory in their journals. I think students will like this book because they could relate to it.
Review by MichelleSHSU
Shows that different artifacts can help recall memories and stories. Great for book in a bag.
Review by JillSmith23
This book's theme is about kindness. The young boy in this book spends a lot of time finding out what a memory is and giving it back to his elderly friend. This book goes back through all the important memories she has had and it is really heart warming.
Review by kburtontruxel
This book emotes the closeness of a child to an elderly friend. I like the respect with which the elderly are endowed and the simple plot of getting a question answered I found engaging. Wilfrid is able to help one friend elicit some memories despite her being "forgetful". Wilfrid knows the elderly home next door is a friendly place to get his question, "What is a memory?" answered and each person answers based on his/her personality. For example, the man Wilfrid says has a voice like a giant answers that a memory is "like a treasure". The illustrations are charming and the plot and characters believable. Wilfrid's question is repeated on each page ensuring this picture book have a pattern, but the overall message of acceptance and helping the elderly is deep and moving.

They say the soul of Silicon Valley is reflected in the billboards scattered along the 45-mile stretch of Highway 101 that cuts through...
MENLO PARK, Calif. — They say the soul of Silicon Valley is reflected in the billboards scattered along the 45-mile stretch of Highway 101 that cuts through the region. During the dot-com era, the messages were mostly from such startups as Excite.com, Homestead.com and eGain.com. The goal was to sell you something, anything.
Today the signs have changed. "End World Hunger," urges one billboard. Another promotes a campaign to aid the mentally disabled. A third features a smiling portrait of the men and women of the California Air National Guard 129th Rescue Wing, who "keep America safe, secure and free."
Ten years after the Aug. 9, 1995, initial public offering of Netscape Communications set off the Internet boom and five years after the bust, venture capitalists are leading a push to remake Silicon Valley as a center for a new form of social entrepreneurship and venture philanthropy, where you can make good money by doing good.
While plenty of people here still are out to make fast bucks, there's also been a surge in investments aimed at solving some of the world's most formidable problems. Venture capitalists chastened by the bursting of the bubble say they want to make a mark beyond the next quarterly filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

A decade ago, scientist Eric Nyberg had what he thought was a breakthrough technology. Working out of his garage, he invented a low-cost, low-energy method for purifying water. It was all but impossible to get the attention of dot-com-crazed investors.
A few months ago, Nyberg's company, Pionetics, began soliciting investments again. This time it was inundated with offers and had to turn some down. The company, which aims to help stop the spread of waterborne disease in underdeveloped countries, raised about $6.4 million in funds from seven firms.
"People are looking to have more meaning in their lives," said John Doerr, a partner at über-venture-capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. "It is a sign the technology community is coming of age."
Doerr became famous for funding some of the Internet's biggest success stories, as well as some of its most spectacular failures. These days he focuses mostly on health-care and energy companies.
Halfway down 101 is the geographic, philosophical and emotional center of Silicon Valley: Sand Hill Road, where the region's most prestigious venture-capital firms are based and where countless entrepreneurs' dreams are either made reality or crushed.
It is in these offices where the transformation is most acute. Instead of waiting at desks as the business plans flow in, many venture capitalists are trolling university labs for inventions. More than a few firms these days keep their venture-capital investments a secret, allowing companies the ability to concentrate on their research without public scrutiny.
Many of the new entrepreneurs are technologists, not MBAs — signifying a new emphasis on products over profits.
"The thinking today is, 'I don't care as much how much of a Harvard MBA or super-experienced CEO or whatever you are or how much money you've raised,' " said Philip Kaplan, founder of an infamous Web site that mocked the deaths of thousands of dot-coms.
He said businesses have to be "cool." He works at a startup that sells online ads to corporations but provides them to nonprofit organizations for free.

Nearly 1 in 10 LI households millionaires, firm estimates
Long Island has about 1,400 more millionaire households than at this time last year, an upstate market research firm estimates.
And the Island has 437 more "penta-millionaire" households worth at least $5 million, said a report by Phoenix Marketing International of Rhinebeck. The estimate measures "investable" assets such as stocks, bonds and cash savings, and doesn't include the value of homes and businesses.
In Nassau, households worth $1 million or more represent 10.3 percent of the total — or 46,791, the report said. In Suffolk, the percentage is 9.3, equal to 47,132 households. For the Island as a whole, just under one in 10 households is worth a million dollars, Phoenix estimated.
Phoenix estimated the number of millionaire households by state using the Federal Reserve Board's Survey of Consumer Finance, and data from Nielsen Holdings NV and the Census Bureau.
Independent Long Island economist Irwin Kellner said that large numbers of Long Islanders work in generally high paying jobs in the financial field and in the higher-paying jobs in health care. "I think those two alone would be a very important component," he said.
At the same time, the U.S. Census Bureau data show another side of the Long Island economic scene: About 7 percent of both Nassau and Suffolk families with children under 18 had income in 2014 less than the federal poverty level, which varies by family size but, for example, was $24,250 a year for a family of four in the contiguous 48 states.
The Phoenix report says New York State has almost 11,000 more millionaire households now than it did a year ago and ranks 15th for the second year in a row among the 50 states in the percentage of millionaire households — just under 6 percent, or 437,889 households.
In 2013, New York held 12th place with 5.79 percent of households, but was passed in 2014 by Vermont, Rhode Island and Washington state.
Maryland had the highest percentage of millionaire households — 7.7 percent. Mississippi had the lowest: 3.94 percent of households. The national average was 5.37 percent, Phoenix said.
In sheer numbers of millionaires, though, New York ranks third after California and Texas, which have 772,555 and 490,634 millionaire households, respectively.

Walker Cup aces star on professional debuts
GOLF: Walker Cup stars Jimmy Mullen and Paul Dunne enjoyed dream professional debuts to claim a share of the lead in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.
Mullen joined the paid ranks after contributing four points to September's record victory over the United States at Royal Lytham.
And the 21-year-old from Devon carried on from where he left off with eight birdies, an eagle and two bogeys in an opening 64 at Kingsbarns, which was matched by Irish team-mate Paul Dunne (pictured), whose memorable day also included a hole-in-one on the 15th.
Dunne, who shared the lead after 54 holes of the Open at St Andrews in July before fading in the final round, holed out from 205 yards with a five iron for his ace, joining Mullen and Sweden's Kristoffer Broberg on eight under par.
"It's great," said Mullen. "I didn't quite expect it obviously, to shoot eight under first time out."
Graeme McDowell leads the Ulster challenge on four under, while Darren Clarke and Michael Hoey are one under.

Huffstetler was rushed to Blount Memorial Hospital by Rural/Metro. He died a short time later of what officials say was blunt force trauma. The incident remains under investigation.
Huffstetler is survived by his wife, two children and parents. The City of Alcoa requests prayers and privacy for the family.

CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. -- Police are searching for a woman they say shot and killed her husband last month after an argument during a card game.
Police say 23-year-old Brittany Wiggins is wanted for the murder of her husband Demarcus Myers. The two were drinking and playing cards when they apparently got into an argument, leading Wiggins to pull a gun on her husband.
Authorities are now asking for the public's help in locating Wiggins. Investigators say she could either be hiding out near the Old National Highway area or with family in Florida.
If anyone sees Wiggins, they are asked to call police.

"In 2009, when we entered the Romanian market, the ceramic tiles segment was expected to fall 30%. Producers and distributors were caught with excess stock in the supply chain. Nonetheless, we brought new products and we reached our annual revenues target for 2009", Catalin Rotaru, country manager KAI Romania told NewsIn.
Notwithstanding the 5-10% drop forecast for 2010, KAI Romania plans to increase revenues by 50%.
Catalin Rotaru said in September that the local ceramic tile market value was estimated at €210-240 million in 2009, 20-30% below 2008-levels, with modest decline in terms of volume due to the decrease in tile prices. Rotaru added the demand in Romania was 75% covered from imports, versus ten years ago when ceramic tiles demand was 70% met from the national production.
KAI Romania, fully-owned subsidiary of global manufacturer of ceramic tiles and glazed and unglazed porcelain tiles, joined the Romanian market in spring 2009. The company was predicting revenues of €8-10 million for 2009.
KAI Group, one of the largest ceramic tiles producers in Eastern Europe was acquired in 2007 by Advent International. The US-based buyout fund holds 70% interest in the company. KAI has two production centers in Bulgaria in which it invested more than €40 million.
Nearly 50% of the wall and floor tiles production is exported to 19 European countries, such as UK, France, Germany, Italy and Romania.

DCB have announced that any PPP not renewed will go on sale in May.
Never got an email from that tickets.ie website. It was always from a season tickets.ie account.
Previous emails came from seasontickets.ie but it was always tickets.ie in the background
So Dub v Kerry appears to be sold out . I have a Parnell pass . Am I entitled to a ticket ?
Don't think so @Yoda as the PP only covers matches under the auspices of the Dublin County Board.
Yep thought as much . Just hoping there was some kind of provision to purchase one . Thanks .
Seatwave .... only €850 ...
definiteley or rumour pal?
Neither , just a wind up , have a look at Seatwave yourself
Why wasn't the match in Kilarney, treble the capacity there isn't there?
TV has it down for Saturday night and no lights in Killarney as far as I know
Surely time to invest in lights at Fitzgerald Stadium?That said, I prefer Tralee as a town to Kilarney.
Would have made sense to play it in Kilarney on the Sunday, they should have known Tralee would be sold out easily. Sure there was a huge crowd at the match 2 years ago in Kilarney. That was some laugh. No trains this time though. That was a nightmare. Got on the train with seats booked obviously, group of lads already sitting in our seats. Showed them our seat bookings and they said, yea well we had seats bla bla booked, and guess what, they dont even exist! This, in their head, gave them the right to take whatever seats they wanted. There was a few raised voices before we even departed Heuston
usually get a "bring a friend" option on season tickets, wonder if this will be as normal and whatever is not taken up to be re-released or if the options not going to be there all, any inside info on this?
Bring a friend option usually only for Croker games. When you select it you get moved around to from the usual areas they give you on the season ticket.
Perhaps it's because the possibility of a large crowd behind the move!! Assuming we are still unbeaten when we play Kerry, I'm told that we will be going equal the unbeaten record they have held since the 1920's ..... if that is true, messing Dublin about could be part of their scheming
Kerry don't get to choose the venue. CCCC sets times/dates and pitches.
The venue for and time of this game is all about TV and nothing else.
Seriously Alan - do the Co Board not have the call here?

I opened up to you about the surprise (trust me, it surprised the hell out of me) emotional meltdown I had following my first loss, but I don't want to leave anyone thinking that I remained in such a fragile state of mind.
After I watched my fight, and I'll admit, I've watched it more than a few times, I could see all my mistakes, but more importantly, I could also see where I performed well. This is kind of important, because for the first three or four days after the fight, I was pretty dejected about my performance.
The more I watched the tape, the more I knew I could get a handle on this and address the problem areas. At first, I looked at the fight as a hard lesson, but now, I view it as a really good educational tool to aid me in future fights.
I remember when I first came out of the back after the fight and I saw my brother. He was like, 'Bro…' and it wasn't that he was attacking me; it was like he had a clear view of exactly what I was thinking. We both knew I'd gotten away from my basics, and did the things I've always instructed the students in my classes not to do. It was just one of those times where in that moment, I felt like I was in control of the ship. I just wanted to wow the crowd and pull off some of the things I was doing in the training room.
I was starting to realize that it wasn't as bad as I felt it was in my mind, but that's the hardest part to take in, knowing that if I'd done just a little bit more, I could've won that fight. I might not have gotten the finish, and it might not have been as pretty, but I could've had the W.
What it all comes down to is experience. That's where Bryan Caraway won the fight, and that's why I tip my hat to him, because he took advantage of the situation by keeping things clean cut with fundamentals and basics. It was definitely a huge learning curve for me.
I don't want this to change me, in terms of making me a "safe" fighter. I'm already a bit of a safe fighter, and I don't want to lose that willingness to take chances that net finishes. I strive to pull off things that have never been done or hardly ever happen. I want to be the guy that makes people say, "Wow! I wonder what he's gonna do next?"
I'm trying to craft this lesson so it doesn't dim that spark. I want to instill in myself the ability to be more calculated in my approach to the fight as a whole, including the lead-up. One major key is understanding my opponents better. There's some things about Caraway that I underestimated. One of the biggest things was how flexible he was and the dexterity in his shoulders that allowed him to escape those shoulder-cranking positions I was going for.
Any other human being without that level of flexibility would have tapped. I hate to say it, but even myself, you put me in a position like that, where my shoulders and neck are compromised, I'd have to tap. He didn't.
Another thing I intend to work on is getting comfortable with my striking. My boxing is something that we're really going to dial in over the next weeks and months. I've been traveling a good bit over the last few weeks, but I've been training every place I go. Los Angeles, Florida, Canada — all of these places I've found somewhere to train and I've got some guys back home that are going to help me fix what I need to fix.
I'm approaching this the way I should have done, which is the same way I did to get to that next level of becoming an All-American. That means really honing my skills during the off-season, so that when I come back, it's just like another day in the office.
I'm still at that point where I'm shocked when I land crisp combinations or a really effective, solid punch. It felt good to throw some leather rather than just kicks. Opening up with my strikes still has that new-car smell to it, and that fear of the unknown is just now starting to go away.
I spoke to my coach, Ray Longo, a few days later and we laughed about it. He said to me, "You tell me it didn't feel good to punch him in the face," and you know what? He was right. It felt amazing!

Most of us guessed that Navy would end up betraying everyone by the end of the episode.
I don't think most of us expected that having her go from this:
to this:
would be really good for Lapis' mental health.
And despite certain people's fears about certain story boarders… this was actually very much in character for her. I think it's pretty safe to assume that Lapis has always been cynical, even in her pre mirror days. After she escaped she went from cynical to detached and apathetic. Not an unexpected defense mechanism for someone who was trapped in an inanimate object for 6,000 years. But she has made progress. She trusts Steven and Peridot. Enough not only to express her concerns, but to essentially make a confession.
Life on Earth is really confusing. It took me a long time to get use to it. I'm still getting use to it.
Given everything that's happened to her on Earth, it's only natural that she's having a hard time adjusting. But she's just confessed her biggest insecurity: she knows she's having a hard time dealing with what she's been through, while having to get use to to living a normal life on the planet where her greatest traumas happened. Before the rebellion she would have done her job and left for the next planet, Earth having been a distant memory by this time. But now she can never leave. Earth has to become home.
She wants to move on, but feels guilty about how difficult actually doing that is.
So here comes this I-Insta-Love-All-Things-Earth ruby, who seems freakishly well adjusted from the moment she crashes face first into the planet. Never mind that she was lied to not once, but twice, by the crystal gems. Never mind that she was blasted out into space and abandoned while they stole her ship. All is instantly forgiven and she just wants to be a part of their happy family.
Worse yet? The people Lapis cares most about just buy it. They go right along with it as though Navy's behavior is perfectly normal. It took time for Lapis to even begin to be okay with the idea of living in Earth and forgiving the crystal gems- she's still working on it, and it's painful. She's worked so hard for every inch of progress she's made, and here's someone who's seemingly able to move on the same day they got to Earth.
I just don't get it. Why is it so easy for her when it was so hard for me?
So when the perfectly well adjusted Navy turned out to be a
gleeful sociopath gleefully hell bent on revenge, everything fell into place.
Navy's sudden but inevitable betrayal was the best thing to happen for Lapis' mental health to date.
So what's the take away from this? 1) People react differently to trauma. 2) Just because someone seems well adjusted doesn't mean they are. 3) It's okay to take a long time to heal from your traumas. It's okay for it to be a constant work in progress. It's okay not to be okay.
And at the end of the day, that realization can almost feel like happiness.

The additions to the synchronization in 3.7.6 are excellent. Thanks, I really find the automatic synchronization useful. Storage of settings has also been greatly improved.
However, it seems that the remote directory, which can be set for each connection, is not used when synchronizing, and that neither can a special synchronization directory be saved, even when one selects "use these settings next time"
The problem is that I have a subdirectory that I sync (not my entire remote file area), and sometimes I forget to change the remote directory, leading to the program deciding to copy a lot of stuff to the wrong place, leading to tedious cleanup operations.
Thanks again for a great product!

Current working directories are used for synchronization. I believe that it is quite natural, isn't it?
Martin Prikryl
Posted: 2005-11-23 18:52
That is true, this is in fact very natural behavior, and after further checking I found that this is in fact also the actual behavior.
My problem was that I was using command line parameters to connect and synchronize on startup, but I was not using the name of the stored session as a parameter, but the actual firstname.lastname@example.com. That way, when I started the program without parameters (selecting the session manually), the correct directories were loaded by default, but using the shortcut resulted in the root directory being selected on the server (in the sync dialog).
Changing the session parameter to the name of the stored session fixed this problem.
Thanks for the pointer, I would not have figured this out without your advise.

ALTON — Federal-originated Community Development Block Grant money improved infrastructure and housing stock, plus derelict home demolitions in Alton and other area communities last year, county officials said this week.
"It's been a good partnership," said John Herzog, Madison County Community Development economic development coordinator, following the Wednesday Alton City Council meeting. Herzog had handed out a draft, annual report that night on the county's CDBG activities for fiscal year 2014-15, which ran Oct. 1, 2014 to Sept. 30, 2015.
The county administers the grant money.
"We are looking for public input," said Lisa Mersinger, MCCDBG planner. The public comment period runs until Dec. 14. People may obtain copies from the office (618) 692-8940.
Most of the projects in the 17-page fact sheet, or joint report, relate to Alton and Granite City. Those two towns are considered "entitlement cities," Mersinger said, because of low and moderate income levels in the population.
In total, last fiscal year Alton's budget was $672,834, which covered the myriad of improvement and demolition work, youth employment with the Public Works Department, building inspectors' salaries, blighted property acquisition, public services and its homeownership program.
Still regarding Alton, the report lists 15 addresses where CDBG money was used for concrete repairs; demolitions of 21 derelict structures; two commercial facades; salaries for code enforcement officers that issued 1,667 code violation citations; purchase of 616 Ridge St. for $14,224 in Hunterstown neighborhood; five low-moderate income youths' pay for summer work; contributing to costs of rehabbing Belle Manor Apartments, to be called Belle Meadows; two of the five single-family homes that the Alton Housing Authority is building along Toledo Avenue; and $30,000 to assist 10 households to purchase houses through the Homeownership Program, in conjunction with local lenders.
MCCD also expended $22,385 for handicapped accessibility ramps at nine households — four in Alton, two in Bethalto, one in Cottage Hills and two in Madison; expended $161,510 for weatherizing 135, "very low," low and moderate income owner occupants and landlords throughout the county; and spent $266,637 through its HOMEbuyer Program assisting 61 additional households buy homes.
Among expenditures in other towns was $95,520 to replace a water main at Rue de Chateau and Rue de Sans Souci in Bethalto; $95,000 for Fourth Avenue drainage improvements in Edwardsville; $76,219 for asphalt overlay of Old Edwardsville Road in Pontoon Beach, with a culvert stabilization planned this fiscal year; constructing a 6-inch water main along Missouri Avenue from Biltmore Boulevard to Gonterman Street, $100,000; 27 structure demolitions, including seven in East Alton, and two each in Cottage Hills, South Roxana and Livingston. It also provided funding for demolition of the World War II-era barracks housing in East Alton, with replacement of "Emerald Ridge" housing.
The joint report says the CDBG national objectives are: projects that benefit low and moderate income persons, eliminate slums and blight and meet an urgent community development need.

Thanks. This helps. It's nice to know I can relax a little.
I think I was just worried about her getting bored. That's one of the biggest problems we had with her preschool. She's pretty far ahead academically I think but her other issues were getting in the way.
I love the idea of teaching her about clocks and calendars to help establish a routine and to help her with sequencing and number recognition. (Math is one of her weaknesses.) Also I think it would help her to be able to look forward to things.
We went to the dollar store today and got some activity books we're both really excited about. They're BIG but not babyish and they're not tied to tv or movies she's never seen. (Aside from Veggie Tales she has no interest in tv.)
Any ideas on computer games or other activities that aren't to simple academically but don't require too much in the way of fine motor skills? I'm having trouble finding things that make her think but don't make her *work too hard. KWIM?

We pride ourselves at Treehugger to wait for the pineapples to be all yellow before harvesting. It is so important to pick acid fruits such as pineapples when they are vine ripped to ensure the fruit will alkalize our body and not acidify it. It also makes it a much more pleasant experience in the mouth when fully ripped, juicy and as sweet as they can get. We currently harvest when ready sugarloaf and smooth cayenne varieties. In the next few years we will also have the Florida special variety and Elite Gold.
Fresh pineapple is a storehouse for several health promoting compounds, minerals and vitamins that are essential for optimum heath. It contains a proteolytic enzyme bromelain that aids the digestive system in its chores of breaking down food. It is well know to help break down protein into simple amino acids. Bromelain also has anti-inflammatory, anti-clotting and anti-cancer properties. It is an excellent source of vitamins A, B,C as well as copper and potassium.

Prince George's County police are looking for a man who sexually assaulted a 10-year-old girl after breaking into her family's Oxon Hill apartment Monday morning, authorities said.
The girl's relatives contacted police about 6:30 a.m., saying a man had broken into the girl's bedroom in the 5400 block of Livingston Terrace through a ground floor window and sexually assaulted her, said Julie Parker, a Prince George's County police spokeswoman. Parker said other family members were home at the time, but they did not hear the man.
The man fled through the same window he came in, and the girl reported what had happened to family members, Parker said. She said those family members immediately called police, but officers could not find the suspect when they arrived.
Parker said investigators believe the man was a stranger to the girl and think the incident might have started as a burglary. She said the man had a beard and was wearing a black scarf that obscured his eyes.
Anyone who might have seen someone acting unusual, especially lurking around windows in the apartment complex, is asked to call Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS, police said.

I spent quite a bit of time cleaning this week (well overdue, I may add!) and while I was at it, I got out my Easter decorations. I've been in cupcake mode for Megan's upcoming birthday, and had made a couple of banners that say "Happy Birthday" when I decided I'd go through my paper stash and find some Easter papers for an Easter banner.
I've got a Cricut machine, so that made creating this a snap! I used it to cut out the squares with the scalloped edges (they are 5 1/2" inches). The patterned paper squares I cut out myself with a paper trimmer while the background squares were being cut on the Cricut. The patterned paper squares are 4 1/2", and I used a corner rounder on the corners. The letters are 2 1/2" and are the "Mickey Font" cartridge. I used 3-m foam tape to adhere the letters and chalked around the edges to give it some dimension.
To hang the banner, I put eyelets in the corner so the paper wouldn't tear. Then, I used a long piece of tulle to string them all together. (Look for spools of tulle at the dollar store or in the wedding sections of craft stores). Finally, I tied pieces of ribbon in between the letters for a fun touch.
To hang it on my mantle, I used 3-M command hooks (I have a love affair with these things - they are fantastic!). I love how cute and Spring-y it looks!
I'll post the "Happy Birthday" versions soon!

English artist Roger Hiorns's first solo museum exhibition in the Netherlands opened this month at the De Hallen Haarlem . Hiorns gained wide recognition with his spectacular work Seizure (2008): a titillating transformation of a London working-class house, which was nominated for the Turner Prize. For this monumental work he had the house's entire interior covered with copper sulphate crystals; the visitor entered a sparkling, fairytale world. From 1 December 2012 until 24 February 2013 De Hallen Haarlem will show the sculptor's recent and new work. Simultaneously there will be a solo presentation by Joseph Beuys that traces the historical roots of Hiorns's work.
Like a contemporary alchemist Roger Hiorns (Birmingham, 1975) works with unexpected natural materials. The use of fickle and uncontrollable materials like copper sulphate, brain matter and fire typifies Hiorns's practice. For him a sculpture is never a static object, but always in motion – the idea of 'transformation' is central to many of his works.
Hiorns questions the way we cope with things surrounding us. To what extent are we able to really know an object? And how does our understanding of a sculpture change when we know that a cow's brain has been incorporated? Does a sculpture acquire new meaning when we know that a religious community prays to it from a distance? With Hiorns nothing is like it seems. The copper sulphate crystals, with which the artist has covered not only a house, but car engines and other objects as well, keep on growing on a microscopic level. His works of art do not present a complete story, but they beg the question whether our ratio is capable of fathoming the world.
For the exhibition in De Hallen Haarlem Hiorns has created a large group of new sculptures, that is being supplemented by a selection of his recent works. The new works will show a great variety in materials (aircraft engines, kitchen tables, park benches) and aesthetic approaches, while simultaneously sharing a common denominator. They are all connected by the occasional presence of a naked boy, who 'activates' the lifeless sculptures by taking a seat on them. Hiorns will also create subtle connections to symbolic locations in Haarlem outside of the museum. The exhibition will thus invisibly propel itself into the public arena.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a publication with texts by Xander Karskens and Tom Morton, designed by Felix Weigand. The book is published by De Hallen Haarlem, and distributed by Idea Books. The publication will be presented during a book launch on 24 January, 2013.
The acquisition of two works by Roger Hiorns has been made possible by the generous financial support of Outset. Further thanks go out to Corvi-Mora, London, and Annet Gelink Gallery, Amsterdam.

Over the course of the summer, ballplayers from all over the tri-state area signed up to take part in the ultimate basketball survival competition, otherwise known as "The Last Man Standing Tournament." 300 players went mano-y-mano in the massive one-on-one, make-it-take-it, blood-and-guts tourney and the TV show that chronicled the summer-long event premieres tonight on MSG at 9PM.
The Last Man Standing concluded with a 16-man Championship Tournament at Madison Square Garden. The sole survivor claimed bragging rights, a grand prize of $5,000, a personal workout at the MSG Training Center and a spot in a pickup run with the Knicks.
Corey "Homicide" Williams headlined as the favorite heading into the tourney, but anything could happen in the heat of battle. Tune in tonight to catch it all …
The $25 entry fee benefited children in need through the Ronald McDonald House Charities.
