in the opinion of a court or in the opinion of the patient's attending physician or consulting physician, psychiatrist or psychologist, a patient has the ability to make and communicate health care decisions to health care providers, including communication through persons familiar with the patient's manner of communicating if those persons are available.
to the way it allows patients to decide for themselves whether to notify family members and when - even if - to self-administer the lethal prescription, once requested. (Some people who request suicide assistance don't use it until months or years after it has been provided.)
Oregon's law is wrong, however, in limiting access to death to those with terminal illnesses. Although this flawed version is certainly the only version of the law that would have had a chance of being enacted, the fact remains that it is wrong.
First, restricting access to comfortable means of death to those with a terminal illness is actually demeaning to people with terminal illnesses. The idea that human dignity somehow requires that one be able to walk and talk and control one's bodily functions is demeaning and wrong, as Felicia Ackerman (see Readings) and disability advocates point out. A terminally ill person must decide for him or herself whether to request suicide assistance; it is not the right decision for everyone. But what possible justification could there be for limiting this right to terminally ill people, except that their lives are somehow less valuable than those lives that will (probably) continue on for many years? The designation "Death With Dignity Act," of course, hints at the demeaning implication of the limit: some deaths are dignified, other are not. The state will decide for you whether you are undignified enough to be allowed to die peacefully. (The Oregon law does not allow assisted suicide to be provided to non-terminally-ill disabled or merely old people, but the implications of the restriction to terminally ill people are clear enough.)
Second, the Oregon law's restriction against suicide assistance to non-terminally-ill people is wrong because suicide is an important right for everyone, not merely the terminally ill. In fact, if anything, the right is more important for those who are not terminally ill, because their time of suffering will most likely be much longer than those who will die soon naturally. And, as pointed out by Velleman, terminally ill people are much more likely to be harmed by having the option to die than healthy people are, because they are more likely to be dependent on the care of others and therefore to feel themselves to be a burden. A more sensible restriction might be to allow suicide assistance only to non-terminally-ill people! I am not, of course, in favor of this restriction, but it makes more philosophical sense than Oregon's law, which makes political sense, if anything.
Meanwhile, Switzerland recently extended suicide rights to those with incurable mental illnesses. Jacob Appel, writing in the Hasting Center Report, explains the basic ethical issues:
Another set of objections are from those who support a basic right to assisted suicide in certain situations, such as those of terminal disease, but do not wish to extend it to cases of severe and incurable mental illness. This resistance may be inevitable, considering the increased emphasis that contemporary psychiatry places on suicide prevention, but the principles favoring legal assisted suicide lead logically to the extension of these rights to some mentally ill patients.
At the core of the argument supporting assisted suicide are the twin goals of maximizing individual autonomy and minimizing human suffering. Patients, advocates believe, should be able to control the decision of when to end their own lives, and they should be able to avoid unwanted distress, both physical and psychological. While these two principles might explain why a victim of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or cancer would choose assisted suicide, they apply equally well in many cases of purely psychological disease: a victim of repeated bouts of severe depression, particularly in cases where treatment has consistently proven ineffective, rationally might prefer dignified death over future suffering.

The Yellow Emperor's Classic has become a landmark in the history of Chinese civilization. Since 1949, when this first translation of the olest known document in Chinese medicine was published, traditional medical practice has seen a dynamic revival in China and throughout many countries in the Western world. Elements of this time-honored therapy, including acupuncture and the harmony of human spirit with the natural world, have become part of mainstream medical practice; The Yellow Emperor's Classic provides the historical and philosophical foundation of this practice. Ilza Veith provides an extensive introduction to her monumental translation of this classic work, which is written in the form of a dialogue in which the emperor seeks information from his minister Ch-I Po on all questions of health and the art of healing.
The translations are fluent, and Dr. Veith's introductory portion illuminating; the numerous well-reproduced illustrations provide a vivid appeal not attainable by words alone.

Re: Detroit area Kregers
In reply to:
Detroit area Kregers
I believe your Kreger family had some relationship with my g.grandparents, Carl Herman Kummer and Adelina Feige Kummer.The 1900 U.S.Census of Hodgeman Co., Kansas shows next to Carl's farm Julius Kreger b. 1863, wife Augusta b. 1866, and children Willie 12, Amel 10, Ernest 8, Carria 6, Edward 4, Lina 2,and Herman 2/12.Carl and Adelina (also sp.Adeline) had sponsors for their children Herman Krueger, Helena Krueger, Anna Krueger,and Julius Kruger.They were all baptised at St. Michael's Lutheran Church, in Hodgeman Co.
I'm trying to find out where Carl and Adeline came from in Germany, so I'm wondering how they knew the Kreger family -- if maybe they knew each other before coming to Kansas.Does the Kummer name ring any bells?
Thank you,

WATCH: 'I never thought I'd be that person' - Al Porter praised for revealing stigma of depression
Comedian Al Porter has been praised for opening up about his struggles with depression and revealing his anti-deprassants live on Wednesday night's Cutting Edge.
The comedian spoke about the stigmas attached to anti-depressants and said that he found it difficult to admit to anyone that he had been prescribed medication, even his own mother.
In fact, the 23-year-old had only told his mother the truth just two hours before RTE's Cutting Edge was broadcast live.
"I really debated talking about this tonight," he told host Brendan O'Connor and fellow panelists, Sunday Independent columnist Dr Ciara Kelly and Sunday Times columnist Brenda Power.
"I'm going to tell you, and everybody watching, something that I didn't even tell my mam two hours ago," he said, before revealing that he had been prescribed anti-depressants.
The comedian has been nominated for plenty of awards, including Best Comedy Show award at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards and an IFTA Rising Star Award, but he was unable to truly enjoy his success. A friend, who noticed that something wasn't right, encouraged him to speak to a doctor.
"A friend of mine said 'If you're not enjoying everything that you're getting and you're having a great time and a great life and winning all these things, having a fabulous time and making everybody laugh, maybe it's not your circumstances, maybe it's a physical thing, maybe it's an imbalance'", he said.
The Tallaght native said he was too ashamed and embarrassed that he refused to speak to his own GP and, instead, travelled to Carlow to speak to a doctor.
"I never thought I'd be that person," he admitted. "Nobody in my family would think I'd be that person.
"I've been hiding [the anti-depressants] in my house. I've had my friend go and pick them up because I don't want to collect the prescription. I've had the prescription written out to different names other than my own."
The bubbly comedian said that he never before believed that the stigma surrounding anti-depressants was real until he needed them.
Al said that normally he's an "open book" and isn't afraid to share any detail of his life with people but the subject of anti-depressants were still taboo. It was the one area of his life that he was reluctant to be honest about.
"I couldn't admit 'yeah I need those pills, they're going to keep me balanced'", he said.
"If I can't cope with that, Jesus knows how somebody who doesn't have the confidence that I have[can cope], someone who's in their bed for three weeks going 'Who am I going to ring to pick [the anti-depressants] up for me?'"
Al was praised on social media for his honest discussion. Fellow comedian Dara O'Briain said he hoped Al's opensess would help dispel the stigma attached to anti-depressants and mental health issues.

The Russian Flat Tax Reform
Russia dramatically reduced its higher rates of personal income tax (PIT) in 2001 establishing a single marginal rate at the low level of 13 percent. In the following year, real revenue from the PIT actually increased by about 26 percent. This 'flat tax' experience has attracted much attention (and emulation) among policymakers, making it perhaps the most important tax reform of recent years. But it has been little studied. This paper asks whether the strong revenue performance of the PIT was itself a consequence of this reform, using both macro evidence and, in particular, micro-level data on the experiences of individuals and households affected by the reform to varying degrees. It concludes that there is no evidence of a strong supply side effect of the reform. Compliance, however, did improve quite substantially-by about one third according to our estimates-though it remains unclear whether this was due to the parametric reforms or to accompanying changes in enforcement.

Good morning everyone! I am so happy to report that I was able to pull off my idea for another Easter egg art piece. This time I used spray paint and leftover plastic Easter eggs to create an ombre effect piece of art.
To get this effect, I used several different shades of spray paint, along with some of the eggs in their original shades to create this ombre look. I used Rustoleum Painter's Touch spray paint since it is meant for use on plastics, but any other brand would work well to as long as it is okay for plastic. Then I just sprayed the eggs that I needed in the different shades of pink and orange. I also spray painted a piece of backer board with some Montana Gold metallic gold spray paint for an added gold glimmer, but you could used any backing paper color or print that appeals to you.
Once everything was dry, I used my cool glue gun to attach the eggs to the cardboard backer board in the pattern I wanted. Then I attached the picture frame (sans glass of course) and there you go, 3D ombre Easter egg art.
What do you think? Would you put this up on your wall all year round? Or do they still look too much like Easter eggs? You could always go with all tops or all bottoms for a more cohesive look, but I liked the ups and downs and movement both pieces gave to the piece.

TOKYO: Oil prices resumed their fall on Wednesday, with Asian shares also pulling back as global growth concerns and political uncertainty in Greece prompted a flight to safety. Investors could take no comfort from data showing China\'s annual consumer inflation eased to a five-year low of 1.4 percent in November, signalling persistent weakness in the world\'s second-largest economy. MSCI\'s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan slipped 0.5 percent, while Japan\'s Nikkei stock average was down 1.6 percent. \"Market euphoria over the recent positive news is fading out for now as investors shift to risk-averse from risk-taking,\" said Hiroyuki Nakai, chief strategist at Tokai Tokyo Research Center. A Japanese government survey released before the market opened showed big Japanese manufacturers grew less optimistic in October-December and see conditions worsening further in the following quarter, suggesting that the economy is slow to recover from a recession. Brent crude slipped 1.3 percent to $65.98 a barrel, though it remained above a five-year low of $65.29 touched on Tuesday. US crude futures were down 1.4 percent at $62.96. Oil prices have been under pressure amid a massive supply glut, after OPEC decided against an output cut. Adding to pressure on crude prices, the American Petroleum Institute, an industry group, reported a 4.4 million barrel build in crude stockpiles last week when analysts had predicted a drop.
European political woes added to the gloom. Greek shares and sovereign bond markets plunged after the government in Athens brought forward a presidential vote that heightened uncertainty over the country\'s transition out of its IMF/EU bailout. World markets have been buffeted in recent months on signs of weakening global growth, with a rout in oil prices in particular triggering a bout of volatility. \"Volatility surged, most equity markets were routed and a number of consensus trades (were) shaken in London/New York,\" Sean Callow, a currency strategist at Westpac, said in a note. \"US interest rates fell on safe-haven demand for Treasuries and the US dollar followed suit.\" The yield on benchmark 10-year notes stood at 2.220 percent in Asian trade, flat from its US close on Tuesday. The dollar was down about 0.2 percent on the day at 119.51 yen, after shedding more than 2 percent at one point on Tuesday to trade as low as 117.90 yen. The greenback marked a seven-year high of 121.86 yen on Monday. The euro was steady on the day at $1.2374, while the dollar index, which tracks the US unit against a basket of six currencies, was flat on the day at 88.702.
Chinese shares stabilized after a sharp selloff on Tuesday dragged down global sentiment. The Shanghai Composite Index was up 0.4 percent, after a rollercoaster session on Tuesday saw it mark a 3-1/2-year high before collapsing to lose more than 5 percent. China\'s official bond clearing house also rattled markets by tightening collateral rules. It excluded about 500 billion yuan ($81 billion) worth of corporate bonds from being used for bond repurchase agreements. On Wall Street overnight, major indexes ended lower, though the S&P 500 was nearly flat.

- METHOD 2: Right click an audio clip or set of audio clips and select 'audio gain.' A dialogue box will pop up where you can input the amount of gain (including negative gain) to increase or decrease audio. this is a great way to quickly adjust audio levels for multiple clips.
- METHOD 3: Use the audio mixer. Go to Window – Audio Mixer – and select the sequence you want to adjust. Now you can adjust the audio levels for entire tracks. This is very beneficial if you are organized and have separated audio, such as music on one track, interview one track, and sound effects on another track, etc.
There you have it! Three ways are better than one! I've only recently started using each way in more creative situations. I used to always use method 1. But now I try to organize myself and put music on one track, and separate interview audios on individual tracks.
Please let me know if you have any questions in the comments below. Also – let me know if you have other ways of changing audio!
Cool! Well I hope you enjoyed this quick tip. If you're interested in learning more about video editing in Adobe Premiere Pro, check out my complete course:

Metabofuel1000, Savoy 6 RipOff Fraudulent misleading Unwilling to work with me at all, told me it was my fault because I didn't read terms and conditions the web page I ordered from I am no longer able to get to and they blocked me from all other web pages. Provo Utah
About 7 days later I recieved my "trial bottle" and thought it was strange that it was an entire month of pills so then I thought it was to be taken more than once a day, again no, only once a day, thought nothing else of it, I did take Matabolife for a long time and for some reason I was thinking this was the same thing, it is not and when I told them that I was told "ugh huh" "Yes Ma-am I will make a report for you and tell them of your concerns"
I tried to go to the web page but this was a different one, the first one was an e-mail I recieved and unfortunatly I was sucked right in.
As soon as I saw the charges I called and spoke with Janis, and asked her to not ship me any more, she said 2 bottles were shipped on the 8th, the day the charges were pending in my account, and I should just use them, I told her I was not impressed with them and, long story short, she hung up on me.
I called back and spoke with Adrian and he too told me it was my fault and when I asked to speak to a supervisor, he told me they were on phones with other customers, I said I would wait and he said it could be up to an hour or so, when I told him I was going to take this further he told me not to do anything for 24 to 48 hours, someone would call me and if not to call them back and I said If I call back who will I ask for, so they dont tell me the same thing you did and he said just to tell them, there would be a report and they will help me, well need I say, I called today and again I was told no one was available to talk to me they were on other calls and when I said Give me a number he said no, the only way we can contact management is on our systems ( how did he know they were on the phone?)I said give me an e-mail address to be able to reach them and he said firstname.lastname@example.com decided I was getting the run around and turned to you.
I did explain to both guys that I was more than willing to pay for the one bottle I had already, but not the other ones, he told me that was not possible.
I also asked if our coversation was being recorded and he said yes, I told him good I wanted to make sure there was no question as to our conversation.
I dont understand how they can continue to screw consumers, it is so unfair and they make it hard on the honest businesses out there, people are afraid to do business over the internet.Please lets put a stop to this.
Honest people work hard for their money!
Thank you.

Suspect in Fairfax Death Is Arrested in Pr. George's
The U.S. Marshals Service arrested Tyree Harvey, 18, of no fixed address, early yesterday in connection with the death of a man in the Woodlawn section of Fairfax County, authorities said.
Fairfax police said William J. Bowie, 54, also of no fixed address, was found dead on a sidewalk in the 9100 block of Richmond Highway shortly after 11 p.m. Wednesday by fire and rescue workers responding to an unrelated call. Police said the cause of death appeared to be a gunshot wound to the upper body.
Harvey was arrested in Prince George's County and taken to the Prince George's County Correctional Center. He was awaiting extradition to Fairfax, where warrants for murder and attempted robbery will be served, police said.

Woman Hit at Bethesda Metro Stop Is 2nd Weekend Death on Tracks
For the second time in two days, a person was struck and killed by a Metro train yesterday. About 1 p.m. yesterday, an unidentified woman "placed herself on the tracks" at the Bethesda Metro station and was hit by a Glenmont-bound train, forcing authorities to temporarily close the station, Metro spokeswoman Candace Smith said. Coupled with scheduled maintenance elsewhere on the Red Line, the incident caused major delays, Smith said.
A little before noon Saturday, an unidentified man put himself in front of an Orange Line train at the Potomac Avenue Station and was killed.

A hearing in U.S. District Court is scheduled for this afternoon to update the court on the health of James W. von Brunn, the 88-year-old white supremacist charged with murder in the shooting death of a security officer at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, and to determine how to proceed with the case, officials said yesterday.
Authorities said von Brunn shot Stephen T. Johns in the chest with a rifle shortly before 1 p.m. Wednesday at the museum's 14th Street entrance. Two other guards immediately returned fire, and von Brunn was struck in the face, authorities said.

So what do they talk about on Health and Social Care Joint Integration Boards
All across Scotland, the 31 Integration Joint Boards have been meeting to begin their official work in running social care in Scotland. This is a major shift in policy that has been given an easy ride so far. The NHS is one of our national treasures and bring social care together with health can surely only be a good thing. But as our article on Page 2 suggests, the NHS may not always guarantee good care.
The minutes of all Joint Boards are available online for anyone to have a look at. We analysed the agendas and papers for 62 meetings of 31 Integrated Joint Boards to see what they talked about.
There is no mention of Learning Disability Services in these meetings between March and June of 2016. Often the poor relation of social
work, we worry about a lack of priority for people with learning disabilities. We did spot one reference inside the papers of the Glasgow Board which promised a further review of Learning Disability Services for the year 2017-18 as part of another "efficiency drive."
The importance of tackling the "Delayed Discharges" of older people. Is clear. Some explain that the Scottish Government has provided a strong financial incentive if targets are reached to reduce delays of more than 2 weeks. Most IJBs discuss delayed discharges at every meeting. Some had 4 agenda items dealing with this.
Delayed Discharges are about people who no longer need hospital care but can't leave hospital for various reasons. This is an expensive cost to health boards. A former Cabinet Secretary for Health said "The average cost of keeping someone for a week in an acute hospital across Scotland is £4600 a week. While on average, to keep and treat someone in a home setting is £300 a week."

Our Self Directed Support Survey
in December we said in 11 councils people were getting less Direct Payments after the Act came in than they had before. New figures including the take up of other options were published in July 2016 and show that both Falkirk and Inverclyde actually did better than that getting more people into SDS packages than the previous year. But the 8 of others were still doing worse than the year before SDS was introduced.
Glasgow has been undergoing its Personalisation process since 2009 and says that over 1700 people are now getting Option 2. We think this shows a problem with just using numbers to explore SDS. Glasgow worked out the cost of service for these people, then transferred that money to their existing social care provider in their name and declared that was their equivalent to Option 2.
After our earlier article Social Work Scotland wrote to us to complain that we were being unfair. They said that SDS must be about more than just how many people make the choice, it must be about the outcomes people get. We agree. It's a shame that councils' don't publish any information on the outcomes that people get from SDS.
As a result, the Learning Disability Alliance Scotland has decided to carry out its annual survey on the experience of people with learning disabilities with SDS. We also welcome the views of family and paid carers. You can be one of the first to complete our survey here.
Future of Social Care Support in Scotland
Our ambition is for sustained public investment in the development of a modern, nationwide infrastructure of social care support.
The social care support we envision will be an instrument of transformative social change.
It will protect, promote and ensure human rights and tackle inequalities for disabled people and carers. We believe that this infrastructure will also play a critical role in building and sustaining Scotland's social and economic prosperity.
This infrastructure should facilitate the delivery of a statutory framework of common outcomes, underpinned by clear and consistent nationwide rights and entitlements. In order to reflect and adapt to the varied local contexts across Scotland, we believe the administration and delivery of this social care support should be a local matter, involving local government and other statutory and non-statutory agencies and organisations, disabled people and carers.

Bud Makes Play for Millennial Demographic
Perhaps the most startling fact from the Wall Street Journal's recent report on the state of Budweiser is that, by Anheuser-Busch InBev's own admission, nearly half — 44 percent — of 21- to 27-year-old drinkers have never even tried the self-proclaimed "King of Beers." To bring young drinkers back to the brand, A-B InBev, the article adds, plans to trot out some "distinctly un-Budlike" marketing in the next year to appeal to the highly sought after millennial demographic. Though "trot out" may be a bit inaccurate, considering the article claims the famous white Clydesdales will return to the barn this holiday season in favor of TV spots featuring 20-somethings calling on other 20-somethings to share a Bud with friends. (It's worth noting, however, that in light of that widely circulated tidbit of news, A-B InBev issued a statement, claiming the "Clydesdales are here to stay.")
Crooked Stave Brings Brewing and Production Under One Roof
After more than a year of gypsy brewing, Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project is moving its 21.3-barrel brewing system — which to this point has sat dormant in the brewery's taproom — to its expanded Barrel Cellar, "centralizing brewing and production operations," according to the Denver Post. Bringing everything under one roof, according to the Post, will enable the brewery to brew in-house by year's end, while also expanding recipes and offering new beers. Previously, Crooked Stave has contract brewed at Funkwerks, Prost Brewing, River North Brewery, and Epic Brewing. Additionally, the brewery's distribution arm, Crooked Stave Artisans, has continued to flesh out its portfolio of beers from around the country.
A Day at A-B's Research Pilot Brewery
Approximately 10,000 barrels of beer will be brewed out of A-B InBev's St. Louis research pilot brewery (RPB) this year, though the vast majority of it will circle down the floor drain. Though producing on that scale and not selling a drop may sound downright Sisyphean, Men's Journal recently explained what the RPB is actually good for. To start, it helps the company with quality control. "We brew at a 15-barrel scale because we need to be big enough to scale up recipes developed and perfected at the RPB for our larger brewers," explained Roderick Read, RPB brewmaster and manager. For instance, the ever-ubiquitous Bud Light was once an RPB experiment. Read is also tasked with testing raw materials to make sure the flavor of Budweiser doesn't change year over year despite changing the way it's brewed. Should you be reasonably mindful of how much waste comes from the RPB, the brewery operates an anaerobic digester, which helps "reclaim energy from all waste water and waste beer," and is used to produce roughly 10 percent of the all the energy used at the St. Louis brewery.
Former Olympia Brewery Space May get new Lease on Life
NW Investment group, a limited liability corporation, has announced plans to purchase Olympia Brewery, which shut down 11 years ago in Tumater, Washington, and turn it into a brewery incubator of sorts. According to The Olympian, NW Investment "envisions a brew pub, retail and office tenants, as well as an educational component for brewing, distilling and culinary arts." The deal is set to close by the end of this year with the development phase to begin in 2015. "We are excited about the opportunities that such a site offers for the community and business environment, and looking forward to exploring the potential uses and tenants quickly so we can bring the site's potential to fruition," NW Investment Group partner Douglas Gray told the website. "It's been sitting fallow for far too long."
Narragansett Keeps on Rhode Island Road
Narragansett's hit summer seasonal release, Del's Shandy, combined two Rhode Island staples: Del's Lemonade and Narragansett Beer. Similarly, the now available Autocrat Coffee Milk Stout combined, well, Autocrat Coffee Milk and Narragansett Beer. The company's next collaboration won't be with an iconic brand, however, though it will still be distinctly Rhode Island. Narragansett president Mark Hellndrung told WRPO the company is entering a "partnership of sorts" with H.P. Lovecraft, the famous (and 77-years dead) writer of horror fiction who was born in Providence in 1890. The beer, called Narragansett Lovecraft Honey Ale, will be available on January 19 (not-so-coincidentally, Edgar Allen Poe's birthday). The company, Hellendrung confirmed, is working on future collaborations with local institutions as well. Only time will tell if the company decides to pair up with iconic local brands or dead writers of fictitious horror.

Curry sees brighter future with Warriors
LAS VEGAS – Stephen Curry(notes) played 10 minutes with David Lee(notes), the Golden State Warriors' new $80 million acquisition, during a scrimmage on the first day of Team USA's minicamp. Curry liked what he saw, and then Lee, like so many Warriors, was gone nearly as fast as he had arrived – sent back to the Bay Area because of a finger injury that will sideline him through the world championships.
"It was the curse of the Warriors," Curry said. "I don't know what else it is. Every time someone joins our team, injuries seem to happen."
The Warriors missed 501 player games because of injuries last season, the second-most in NBA history since the league began tracking the total 23 years earlier. And they've already got a head start on next season: Rookie forward Ekpe Udoh(notes), taken sixth overall in the June draft, hurt his left wrist during a workout within a week of signing his contract with the Warriors. He underwent surgery and is expected to miss six months, sidelining him for much of the season's first half.
Injuries aren't the only reason the Warriors will look decidedly different next season. Curry watched one summer league game here while sitting in the stands next to guard Anthony Morrow(notes). A day later, Morrow agreed to a contract with the New Jersey Nets, becoming one of Curry's many former teammates. Anthony Randolph(notes), Ronny Turiaf(notes), Corey Maggette(notes) and Kelenna Azubuike(notes) also have been shipped out in trades during the offseason. The biggest change came a week ago when longtime Warriors owner Chris Cohan agreed to sell the team to venture capitalist Joe Lacob and entertainment executive Peter Guber for a record $450 million.
Curry also hoped to meet the team's owners sometime this weekend in Las Vegas.
"I'm happy the process is over," he said, "so we have some sort of direction."
Just a year into his NBA career, Curry is no longer surprised by anything. He arrived in Golden State as a rookie to hear star guard Monta Ellis(notes) declare that the two wouldn't be able to share the backcourt. Disgruntled forward Stephen Jackson(notes) announced he wanted to be traded – and eventually got his wish. Coach Don Nelson came down with pneumonia, took a leave of absence and then set the NBA record for most career coaching victories late in the season.
Through it all, the injuries and losses continued to pile up. Players came and went. Now, with new ownership and a new roster, Curry can only hope the Warriors' fortunes will change for the better.
"It was a whirlwind," Curry said. "From coming here and not playing as well as I wanted to in summer league [last year] to some team turmoil, team drama coming on. … Now, I'm seeing my teammates go, and there are some guys I built some relationships with.
"I'm seeing the business side of basketball and now know what to expect from year to year. It's been pretty crazy."
Curry lived up to expectations in his first season, averaging 17.5 points, 5.9 assists and 4.5 rebounds and finishing second to Sacramento Kings point guard Tyreke Evans(notes) in the Rookie of the Year balloting. As talented as Ellis is, Curry is now widely viewed as the face of the franchise.
"He went even beyond what we envisioned in one year," Warriors general manager Larry Riley said.
While Curry has been disappointed to see some of his close friends leave, he wants to win and thinks the Warriors are now in a better position to do so. The main reason has been the acquisition of Lee, who averaged 20.2 points and 11.7 rebounds last season for the New York Knicks.
"He thought we could play together and jell, especially with Monta," Curry said. "It gives a two-headed point guard combo to go with David Lee. We're going to play pick-and-roll all day."
Curry had hoped to use Team USA's minicamp to not only earn a spot on the world championships roster, but also build some chemistry with Lee. He'll leave having fallen short of at least one of those goals after Lee's injury. The two players did get a chance to talk on the bench during one scrimmage.
"He seems like a great guy," Curry said. "I look forward to playing with him."
The Warriors also added forward Dorell Wright(notes) and undrafted rookie guard Jeremy Lin(notes) in free agency and traded for center Dan Gadzuric(notes) and guard Charlie Bell(notes). Forward Brandan Wright(notes) is expected to return after missing all of last season with a shoulder injury, and Udoh could help once he recovers.
"We had stretches of brilliance with a lot of injuries that impeded our chemistry and flow to the season," Curry said. "Hopefully now, we got a solid core and solid lineup that sticks together."

Nico Hulkenberg was back in the VJM05 for the start of Sahara Force India's second winter test in Barcelona, and the programme included tyre comparison work, aero-sweeps and long runs.
Hulkenberg completed 97 laps and his fastest lap was 1:23.440.
"Once again it's good to do so many laps and I'm pleased with how things went today. It was only my second day in the car and I'm still bedding in and getting used to things, but after each run I felt a bit more comfortable.
"We started with some aero-runs and more data gathering this morning, and then moved to longer runs in the afternoon. The car feels consistent and the drivability is good so I feel positive heading into tomorrow," Hulkenberg said.
Chief engineer, Jakob Andreason, felt the car has performed well.
"Another busy day with a lot of mileage for Nico as he continues to build up his feel for the VJM05. We began the programme with aero sweeps and also evaluated some mechanical components to address some improvements we felt could be made to the car following the Jerez test.
"The car has performed well throughout the day with good reliability, which allowed us to focus on adding performance. We completed the majority of the programme and got through our long runs in the afternoon, which helped build up Nico's knowledge of the hard and medium compound tyres," Andreason said.
Another Sahara Force India driver Paul Di Resta is scheduled to test on Thursday and Friday.

Pegasus Asia launches new flight routes
- Published by Ozgur Tore
Pegasus Asia, born out of Pegasus Airlines' partnership with the Kyrgyz airline Air Manas, continues its growth with the launch of new routes and increased flight frequencies. Pegasus Asia continues its expansion in line with the vision of growing Bishkek into a hub for Central Asia connecting Central Asia with Europe, the Middle East, Russia and the Far East.
Pegasus Asia launches its first new route for 2015 for its Bishkek-based flight network with scheduled flights to Delhi. Flights will take place on this route between Bishkek and Delhi on Mondays and Fridays with fares starting at just £104.

Participation and Political Equality in Direct Democracy: Educative Effect or Social Bias
This paper analyzes the moderating effect of direct democracy on the relationship of socioeconomic status and political participation. A skeptical position holds that direct democracy increases social bias in the electorate as issues are too complex and demanding. Participatory democrats in contrast invoke an educative effect of direct democratic institutions, thus decreasing social bias of the electorate. To test both arguments we use data from the Swiss equivalent of the American states and estimate cross-level interactions of socioeconomic direct democracy variables on political participation. First differences between effects in the least and most direct democratic cantons are not statistically significant. This result may be seen as relief for skeptics as well as disappointment for proponents of direct democracy.

Google has launched a new version of the dining review and ratings website Zagat, along with new apps for both Android and iOS. Signing in is now completely free and doesn't require a Google+ account.
Google has relaunched Zagat, a dining review and ratings website that it acquired in May last year, and released new apps for both Android and iOS, to help people find the very best of "restaurants and nightspots" by looking at reviews and ratings left behind by other users. In an attempt to make the website more accessible, Google has also removed the need to sign in with a Google+ account and made the service completely free.
The search giant's location-based dining guide will go up against the immensely popular Yelp, which is integrated into Apple Maps. Dining info is initially available in only Austin, Boston, Chicago, London, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Washington D.C., but Google is hoping to expand to "50 U.S. and international destinations, and cover shopping, hotels and other places of interest" in the coming months.
The mobile app has foregone its $10 price tag and has received quite an attractive new design, which follows the card UI Google has been putting on all its apps lately. New features such as restaurant news, video reviews, curated lists, and restaurant menus have been added, to complement the scores of ratings, reviews, and consumer surveys users will have access to.
Download the new Zagat app for your OS from the links below, and be sure to hit up the source link for Google's official announcement. Finding the best place to eat in your area is about to become a lot easier, so be sure to leave a review for your favorite restaurant the next time you visit, if you're lucky enough to be residing in one of those nine cities.

Three-month-old sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) plants were raised from single-eye cuttings and grown in aerated nutrient solution for an additional 28 days at an air temperature fluctuating between 21.5 C (night) and 30.5 C (day). The nutrient solutions in which the roots were immersed were kept at eight different temperatures ranging from 12.5 C to 33.5 C. Half the number of plants in each temperature treatment were treated weekly with gibberellic acid (GA). The GA (100 µg) was applied in 0.1 ml of water per plant in the folded leaves above the top visible dewlap.
A loss in mean dry weight of the plants at a root temperature of 12-5 C indicated a higher respiratory than photosynthetic activity. Above 15.5 C an increase in root temperature resulted in an almost linear increase in dry matter production up to 30.5 C. The effect of GA on dry matter production was more pronounced at 18.5 C than at 27.5 C to 30.5 C. There was very little response to GA application at intermediate temperatures. Tiller production was reduced by root temperature below 24.5 C, above which there was an increase in the mean number and mean dry weight of tillers with increasing temperature. GA caused a reduction in tiller dry weight at 27.5 C; however, the effect decreased above that temperature.
It is suggested that GA production in the roots, or translocation from the roots, or both, are inhibited by root temperatures below 18.5 C, which would explain the high response to applied GA at 18.5 C. At temperatures of 27.5 C and 30.5 C a positive response to exogenous GA might be the result of depletion, through consumption of endogenous GA due to the rapid growth rate of the plants at these temperatures. The growth of the GA-treated plants was maximum at a root temperature of 30.5 C under the conditions of the experiment. for the control plants maximum growth was attained at the root temperature of 33.5 C. However, the maximum response to GA, compared to the controls at the same temperature, occured at 18.5 C.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.
