You're looking lovely today you -- cool if -- -- -- just -- he never sit here Mary looks great every single woman -- are you do a couple of that can be a tough response been there done that I'm really yeah. All right you know -- know things like now I'm sure it didn't add things look fabulous on Wall Street the Dow is up now 96 points NASDAQ up a point S&P up five everything's in the Green. Tenure US treasury in the Green at one point 954 gold is up 1570. Oil. Is even up 84 cents and I'm thinking it's all thanks to the earnings reports that came in from AT&T and 3 AM. He could be yet another thing he should tell one. It don't ever and I've done this is you know been there done that I don't tell woman that she looks like she could have a lot of babies -- she's got good tips for the. That it had set I don't I don't do that out that that just translated you have wide hips yet but I McCain's. And and don't tell us she took offense until we look just like our moms. Lineup because our moms are usually good 3040 years -- minutes let's. We're we're learning a lot you get. You know most of our listeners are mentally any tips you can provide us with -- -- Will make this a regular you know weekly thing right -- both -- our next guest he's the author of the book the seven deadly innocent frauds of economic policy and he's a senior economic advisor. To the United States Virgin Islands Warren welcomed the show are you doing today. Are reporting very good -- I hate you know I had all these questions I was gonna ask you and I know I but I I wanna ask you one new one that I didn't say in advance. The the problems in Europe. Seemed to be related around the European Central Bank why -- rather than allowing this turmoil to continue in Europe why -- they simply. Buying up these bonds I -- the Spanish treasury auction going off. It it's so well over 6% why don't they do the same thing are fed did here in the United States. Well it would be like the -- -- state parks here -- our California Connecticut to hope that. So it's a little more problematic and they see it as a moral hazard can't. Where everybody knows that. Central Pakistan followed them that -- -- whoever can run of the largest deficits we have we -- -- part of the stability growth. And that's if you're working in the -- -- they -- resolved -- more -- How do -- look discipline of a country that is it complies. Particular to -- are running 50% deficit hyper inflation. Well what are they gonna do over there towards me a problem seems to be getting worse it's you know. I I've talked about this in the past and you you've the year contagion will what you -- -- six months ago was in fact happening today. -- all based on their ideology based on they're understanding. Monetary operations which is good. I are there are optimistic that they're definitely the big question is what can we do you protect -- it's of these people. And it's. The last thing they did that we are we -- the last time with the Greek deal was that. Where the private sector took a haircut a response the PS seismic private sector while -- have to write off 100 billion euros in -- got. -- more than twenty sensible dollars for the bonds. That the ECB held Greek bonds did recently bought from the private sector didn't take any discount -- -- -- hundred billion was taken from the re dating bondholders. That was a new policy implemented and -- you know what's even worse is it to people respond to substantial disk so it was in this country. So they'd -- money on the deal. -- with the north slope there and so we are you got. And so but it septa is dangerous precedent when they're out there if they -- they -- bombarded too much but it would abide Spanish bonds. That would mean you know any risk of I haircut on. You know by the Spanish government down the road -- they would have to write the -- you know pick. For the Bible and that's what -- -- -- for the problems would dot com from the bonds the European central -- -- just from the remaining bottled. -- -- this the European Central Bank by sponsors the -- to remain viable increases. Well how can the eurozone stay together given that information -- mean you've got -- elections in France would indicate that. You know the French electorate wants to. To to get out of the eurozone do you think that the eurozone ends up breaking up. I don't I don't know what breaking up deeds you know some form. What former brother does that mean go there are two different purchase as that -- just default saying you know. People use words like breaking up as he gets the specifics of what that means -- gets cloudy. Well I'll I'll give you specifics do you think that the German goes back to the mark in the if they -- Greece goes back to the drachma and French France goes back to the frank I mean it do you see everybody do you know what this is an experiment developed in the 1990s. Thanks but no thanks we're gonna go back. Because it it would seem is as this taste out what's going on in Europe now that would seem even worse and more expensive. Well right now there's no popular support for. If you go to even agrees there's -- popular support because. It had plenty of truck -- crisis in the past and they saw what happened 20% inflation and currency dropped to 50%. And just major problems with the what they would call the body itself this time around -- -- crisis rather work but that's happened before. -- a -- have to cut -- that's happened before but this time there wasn't any inflation and the currencies stayed strong itself. It's not obvious. People over there that there's any probably bureau fixing the problem has with profligate governments and spent too much to now have to pay for their. Ascent up the fact the truth is probably is -- But it's not obvious to anyone that's in your own fact what's obvious to everyone is that is not the -- Why did -- do it. Marinate it don't you think -- -- that social programs and entitlement programs in Europe are excessive. Well a remote access has publicly in the past this sort of led. Massively higher interest rates for the average person you know massive currency depreciation and they -- as -- government robbing their money probably the real well this kind. You know the average currently there's not seeing inflation agency -- -- -- domestic trip -- -- -- Pretty far yes on appointments are a lot of public sector workers are losing their jobs you can compare -- that that occur at all that's. So but what I'm saying is to your first question yes leaving the Euro. There's no popular support for them because it's obviously -- -- that the Euro. Police say that orbit the French elections on Sunday -- went out there watching them you watch the same thing. I mean that they'll guide that one he won on a platform of pay on that a pullout of the Euro zone that was his platform. Well the plot for a visit to go back to different try to get that it's too. You know spend more dark not comply with the yesterday's pictures. Yeah that that is that's true -- a social -- and. I don't wanna have it both ways it's. We're yoga -- bureau bewildered about the higher deficit spending you know signals -- so -- Against what you say they expressed are you broke leaving year old brother or rewrites its growth and stability -- want to write rules but. They don't want it appeared in the Euro and politically because. People are -- think the Euro is protecting them against their government. With the I agree with that why we don't talk committed to Euro the Euro is a problem. They don't it's not obvious the garden street & Associates. But if that's the case Warren why. -- Germany isn't -- allow France to stay in -- enact some austerity measures that's what they insisted on with Greece Italy and Spain and Portugal. You know it's it's just interrupt you were little -- don't get -- -- post -- -- brother. He took particular that the market slowed it talked about it was not a white or fiscal could we need -- -- And it's Germany at the end of the day has. -- funding all the periphery like mr. -- exported to -- increase in the money bars to pick it by fifty billion dollar for the military equipped. If if appropriate certificate setup. They all talk out both sides of the violence and no exceed German. Manufacturing flaw in export tricky because. They don't put too much respect to general customers right now now Theo so it's a balancing act it. It's hard to say we're -- go except that. Let's let's put this or that range of outcomes is absorbs yes you can have the total collapse aboard the streets of world war three. Air or you can have them do the right things you're -- -- back right so -- to -- -- everybody thinks -- problems. I was so as soon as very. Difficult to how to play. Warren we gotta run its -- -- you appreciate your time here. That's -- those are joining us up next we're gonna be joined by.

Just goes to show how good this camera is.
Can't wait to see some of your footage using the Zeiss.
Just goes to show how good this camera is.
Can't wait to see some of your footage using the Zeiss.
Dude your shots and grading are really nice. Awesome job! Love the simple name too....it's perfect cos it gives it instant personality hehe :)
It's called Steve because our superstar actor passed away back in March. We were working on a movie called "Steve's Louisville" which we were gonna shoot with the Scarlet. He was a BAD ASS and a total natural.
We had a movie written completely based around who he was as a human being, his manorisms...everything. So losing him really killed the project after like three years of writing. He was hilarious. Didn't have to really direct him at all.
He was bound for stardom, but had heart issues. So the camera is named after our ol pal Steve. Here's a little sample of something we shot with Steve one afternoon with the 7D. Sorry that the audio is so crappy, but it's still super cute. You can see what a fun guy Steve was.
The Scarlet X is fucking amazing, end of story.
The shot at 2:50 was that 2k 60fps? if so, it looks great! I have this lens and I hate it. Came with my t2i bundle. But I'm loving these results!
I hate the lens too! I wasn't going out expecting to have my mind blown when I brought the stuff in to edit. My mind was blown. That crappy little lens! Whoodathunkit? And that shot at 2:50 was 3K 48fps.
Oh man, I'm so glad that 48fps can look that magical! I've read a couple threads on people talking about taking older lens's or not so sharp lens's and putting them on the Epic and getting great results....looks like I might be keeping the 18 - 135! thanks for this
Like I said, rack focusing on that lens is just completely unacceptable. But for stuff like what I just ran out and shot, hell... looked wildly better than I ever expected. Lordy lordy.
Great stuff Brennan. Just some small questions if I may pls.
You used the camera in stills mode for the stills or pulled the stills directly from red cine?
Is that small jitter from the youtube compression, head pan or from camera itself? Guess its one of the first two and its not a problem.
Impressive shots - Blown away byscarlet every time I see something. Keep it coming.
Referring to the test shots with the scarlet by the way - Condolences for steve btw. Sure the scarlet will live up to his name.
Good luck
We'll miss good ol Steve for sure! Helluva guy.
So I'm guessing the jitter you're seeing is probably just the YouTube playback on your computer. As far as I could tell, the video plays back jitter free on my computer. Although I do have a 24 core computer I'm playing it back on.
**And as far as the stills go, I just exported a png sequence from Vegas Pro in 4K and could save any one I wanted as a full res jpg or whatever. Exporting in full resolution is a thing of beauty, but it's also a thing of TIME. Exporting that in its "preview" quality as Vegas calls it took 7 hours for those 6 minutes. If I did it in "Best" quality it would take probably 12 hours and not look thaaat much better. But I highly recommend working with final png files. Export an h.264 from After Effects of the sequence and you're good to go. Another beautiful thing about working with an image sequence is that if your program locks up right in the middle of a render, you can just start at the frame it left off at. That's an immediate advantage because I know of many times when my computer has crashed during a render and destroyed the whole file.

NEW ORLEANS, LA., 12-APR-05 -- Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) marked a successful return to Space Shuttle External Tank (ET) production activities by welding two quarter domes into a half dome tank segment on March 17.
The company halted normal production in January 2004, approximately 11 months after the Columbia shuttle accident, to focus on Return to Flight activities and to develop designs and processes necessary to retrofit existing ETs.
During the past three months, the company has delivered two retrofitted ETs to NASA, and a third will be ready in May. Construction of an External Tank takes approximately 20 months.
The window for the first Return to Flight shuttle launch opens May 15 and extends until June 3.
"It is a real morale boost for employees to begin welding flight hardware again and to see a shuttle flight scheduled in the near future," said Ron Wetmore, Lockheed Martin Return to Flight manager. "Now that we've rolled several ETs out the door, it's an appropriate time to resume production activities."
Several photographs of the first weld are available at www.lockheedmartin.com/michoud by clicking on "Michoud Image Gallery."
Lockheed Martin Space Systems – Michoud Operations designs and builds large aluminum and composite structures such as the Space Shuttle External Tank for aerospace and other applications at the NASA Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans.

Other Portable Consoles > Dingoo Technology A380
dingux-2600 for A380
Okay so I found some source code for the dingux-2600 emulator for dingoo A320 from http://zx81.zx81.free.fr/serendipity/index.php?/categories/109-Atari-2600. I have recompiled the emulator with proper resolution for dingoo A380. The menu is still over to the left but the actual game is centered. If I feel inclined I might try to shift the menu a fraction so it is not so far to the left but the main goal was having the games centered. I am uploading the source code as well as the binary. I do not want to upset or offend anyone on here with this so if it is not welcome admins please remove at your wish. The sound probably could do with some work but I am not really a programmer and wouldn't really know how to fix this. ALL credits go to Zx for his dingux port that I used for this.
Just unzip to "emus" folder and run dingoo-2600.dge
Source Code
good work, pottzman
Alien Grey:
Thanks for sharing it.
I've tried to run the Atari Lynx emulator HandyOD on my Dingoo A380 but it doesn't work and I don't know how to recompile it. Maybe someone who has the knowledge can make it possible to use HandyOD on the Dingoo A380. It would be very welcome.
Some very good games where only released for the Atari Lynx and I would like to see Crystal Mines II and The Gates Of Zendocon running on my Dingoo A380.
I think handyOD don't run on A380 because of double buffering. But without double buffering, no hardware surface, so don't expect a better emulation than on a320. source code are on my page, that should be easy to port it.
The main reason most of the current A320 apps do not work on the A380 is simply the screen resolution size. There's technical reasons for this, and I'm only just starting to look into how exactly the device renders to the screen, but assuming it's traditional in it's screen buffer (linear frame buffer), when a program has to draw 320 pixels across the screen, and then it's run on a compatible system (Again, assumption on my part to think Dingux apps will work verbatim on the A380 which supposedly runs a variant of Dingux) with 400 pixels, 320 are going to be drawn, and then the 80 for the next line. The end result is the screen ends up skewed which is what I've seen in FCEU for it.

Daily Sunshine Counters Vitamin D Deficiency
- by James Lovette-Black PhD
Vitamin D is required by the human body for proper functioning of numerous systems, to maintain health of both mind and body. After several decades of drumming the message to avoid overexposure to the sun because of the damage ultraviolet rays can do to the skin, including melanomas, clinicians are beginning to offer more balanced advice for sun exposure. Dr. Michael Holick, author of "The UV Advantage", advocates daily sunlight exposure to avoid numerous diseases caused by a deficiency of vitamin D, the "sunshine vitamin" that is actually a hormone. Holick recommends daily sunshine and advocates wider use of proper exposure to the sun, in an effort to counter a pandemic of vitamin D deficiency-linked disorders and diseases that is now prevalent among North Americans. Here is a brief interview and his recommendations.

Watching from a far the ignorance unfolds starting at day one. With the naive enclosed mindset. Feeling as everyone you know is on the same page. Well, truth be told our society can be a cluster of negative experiences. Taking them in one at a time is reasonable. In time we learn to deal with certain situations. No, there is no way out of this time frame. We sit and wait. For the day it all makes sense.

Ok, took the Jato to the beach today, after a bit of an issue with the tune I got it started and it was running well then all of a sudden it stopped.
It was a fair distance away from me so I assumed the engine had cut out. As I walked to restart it I could hear the engine was still running. I pulled on the throttle the engine roared but nothing happened. Another burst of the throttle and the same thing happened. I gave it one last burst and off it went! A bit more running and the same thing happened.
I figured I would check here first before I go dismantling it again for about the fourth time in a week, does this suggest its a clutch problem?

Let me wind your heart up and watch it fall apart
March 31st, 2012 by alina_01I have things i should probably be doing but they remind me of things i dont want to remember. Life is so tragic in almost every sense. For once i want good things, things that stay and don't just dissolve at any given moment. I want to save myself and build an amazing person with all these shattered pieces. i want to remember and not have to feel pain. i want my heart to be ok and my mind to be sane. i want to BELIEVE. But all those are things i have failed to achieve. I feel like something is holding me down and it won't let me go.

Ea Motorcycle Air Filters
Nanofiber technology for the motorcycle market. Hold 15 times more dust than wet-gauze-type filters. Nanofiber media removes 5 times more dust than traditional cellulose filters and 50 times more dust than wet gauze. Use PART NUMBER drop down to select filter.
Warranty Data Sheet
AMSOIL has brought Nanofiber technology to the motorcycle market. AMSOIL Ea Motorcycle Air Filters hold 15 times more dust than a wet gauze type filter. Their nanofiber media removes 5 times more dust than traditional cellulose filters and 50 times more dust than wet gauze.
Motorcycle Filter Lookup
EaAM Filter Specifications and Pictures (PDF 120k)
Nanofiber Basics Because the nanofibers in AMSOIL Ea Motorcycle Air Filter media are so small, there are more pores per square inch, allowing for higher dirt-holding capacity and lower pressure drop compared to traditional filter medias. Thinner media fibers produce more uniform pore size distribution, improving the filter's overall ability to capture and retain particles.
Air Filtration Basics An engine requires air for combustion, but the air drawn in through the induction system is loaded with contaminants. There are over 400 tons of suspended dirt and other contaminants in a cubic mile of air over a typical city. The concentration can be even higher in rural areas where there is frequent travel on unpaved roads. The dirt and contaminants drawn into an engine from the air are the leading causes of engine wear.
The function of the air filter is to trap and hold these wear causing contaminants without restricting air flow. As the filter traps more and more contaminants, air flow becomes restricted, smothering the engine and diminishing performance. The more wear causing contaminants a filtration media traps and holds, while still allowing optimum air flow, the better the filtration media.
The nanofiber technology used in AMSOIL Ea Filters surpasses all other technology in efficiency, capacity and service life. With AMSOIL Ea Air Filters, dust and submicron particles remain on the surface and are trapped in the nanofibers, preventing particles from lodging in the filter media depth. This produces higher efficiency and higher capacity, extending engine and filter life and reducing engine wear.
Ea Motorcycle Air Filters The filtration media in the Ea Motorcycle Air Filter is pleated and has epoxy-coated wire on the face and back of the media for additional strength and stiffness. High quality plastisol potting compounds bond the pleat packs to the plastic or aluminum side plates. The S&S (aftermarket engine and carburetor manufacturer) style round filters are manufactured with high-quality plastisol that bonds the media to the wire backing and sealing area.
Superior Filtration The synthetic nanofiber media featured in AMSOIL Ea Motorcycle Air Filters have sub-micron diameters and small inter-fiber spaces, resulting in more contaminants being captured on the surface of the media and lower restriction. Cellulose, wetted gauze and foam filters have larger spaces between the media that cause contaminants to load in the depth of the filter, resulting in airflow path plugging, higher restriction and lower capacity.
Cleanable for Long Service Life AMSOIL Ea Motorcycle Air Filters are cleanable, providing unsurpassed protection and long service life. AMSOIL Ea Motorcycle Air Filters should be cleaned every year or according to operating conditions. Operation in extremely dusty or dirty environments may require more frequent cleaning. Ea Motorcycle Air Filters should be changed every four years.
Cleaning Instructions AMSOIL Ea Motorcycle Air Filters are cleaned in the same manner as AMSOIL Ea Air Filters for cars and light trucks: with a vacuum or shop air. To clean with a vacuum, place the filter on a flat surface and carefully vacuum the filter media on the dirty side where the incoming airflow enters the filter. To clean with shop air, hold the filter with one hand and carefully blow the filter media at a 45-degree angle on the clean side of the filter using low-pressure (15 to 20 psi) shop air. Using too much air pressure will damage the filter media.
Superior Alternative AMSOIL is producing an initial offering of eight Ea Motorcycle Air Filters manufactured for the most popular Harley Davidson models from the years 1988 to 2006, including motorcycles equipped with S&S carburetors and air cleaner housings.
For your convenience, AMSOIL offers Ea Oil Filters guaranteed for up to 15,000 miles or up to 25,000 miles, depending on application, when used with AMSOIL synthetic motor oil.

Dear Friends,
On behalf of the Center for the Study of Sport in Society, we would like to cordially invite you to the first Power of Sport Summit: A Participatory Forum on Sport and Social Change on June 14th and 15th, 2008 to be held at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts. The Summit will be an interactive meeting of academics, practitioners and advocates working together to define and address current and emerging issues involving the intersection of sport and social justice. The objective of the Summit is to generate discussion around current trends, including what's working, what's possible, and what important actions are needed to help advance the sport and social change movement.
All those interested in the intersection of sport and social justice are invited to attend and participate in the Power of Sport Summit, where experts in the fields of research, education and advocacy will unite to celebrate, reinvigorate and advance this very important work.
The Power of Sport Summit marks the conclusion of a year of innovative research carried out by Sport in Society's inaugural team of Research Fellows. Their research activities cut across disciplines and demonstrate the powerful connection between sport and social change. They will be joined by numerous expert investigators in the field invited to share their current research findings. Topics will include, but are not limited to, the convergence of sport and: social activism; human rights; disability; music; masculinity and sexuality; social entrepreneurship; youth sport culture; play; economic disparities; health and wellness; nutrition education and overweight/obesity prevention; diversity; violence prevention; gender violence; legal issues; and Olympism.
Key stakeholders who work directly in the field of sport and social change and/or its areas of intersection are also invited to attend as vital contributors able to share their expertise. Coaches, program managers, athletes and activists, both youth and adult, will be among those whose tangible experiences are key components in understanding the vital intersection of sport and social justice.
Due to the breadth and depth of possible topics, the Power of Sport Summit will utilize an "Open Space Technology" (OST) framework. Rather than concretely define topics and presenters in advance, all participants will take an active role in self-organizing and setting the agenda for a collaborative working meeting. This unique structure demands that participants are passionate about the subject matter and ensures that the best outcomes are theirs to create. OST allows for real dialogue that will develop into real action. These working sessions are intended to foster concrete action steps that can make a valuable impact in a variety of ways.
For more information regarding the Summit, including event details and the use of Open Space Technology, registration information and visitor information, please visit the event website at http://www.sportinsociety.org/powerofsportsummit.php. Any questions may be directed to my attention at: email@example.com, 617-373-8936.
Warmest regards,

Good productPros: Easy connection Cons: Some games are not played as easily with it connected Other Thoughts: This is, overall, a good product. Compared to the "name-brand" similar products on the market, the price is really good. The quailty of the product seems a little less than similar products on the market, but, for the price, you can't expect the exact, same thing. There were no problems. The black color matched perfectly with the black Xbox 360 controller. It was easy to connect. It took more than once connecting it the first time for it to work, but once it was snapped in good, it worked perfectly. The text pad works well, and I had no problem using it messaging through Xbox Live or using it with the Internet Explorer app through Live. The only con is that the text pad can make it a little difficult to play certain games while connected to the controller, but, that may just take some getting used to. Otherwise, I will just take it on and off. I am happy with this product. I would definitely recommend, especially if you were looking at purchasing the Xbox 360 version. This could save you some money. This product also has a place where you can still hook up your headphones, etc... with this still attached. Did you find this review helpful? |
Don't see anything wrong with it.Pros: It works. Cons: Nothing really. Other Thoughts: I've just wanted one of these for awhile, and after having a 360 for pretty mich 5 years, I'm just finally happy to have it. Did you find this review helpful? |

I was born in Poland in 1958 and emigrated to England in 1989. Although I am a keen photographer that enjoys working with computer generated photography, I prefer painting, which is my favourite medium. Painting is part of everything I do now....I am a very enthusiastic artist and I am interested in every technique. As part of my Art Course I started with ceramics, went on to photography and finally computer experimentation. I can completely lose myself in my art, there are no boundaries or restrictions and my imagination takes me into an unknown world of colour and fantasy, being strongly influenced by contrasts and textures. I like to capture the moment on camera, scan it onto my computer to design my final piece. ...so now you have an idea of what you will expect from me in terms of style.

HoopsHype Reggie Evans rumors
Reggie Evans: I,m going to miss the fans and everyone on the Clippers staff, thanks for showing me and my family so much love! Twitter
Adrian Wojnarowski: Brooklyn has agreed to a 3-year, $5M sign-and-trade for Reggie Evans, sources tell Y! The Clippers will get a distant future 2nd round pick. Twitter
Sam Amick: Source confirms Brooklyn is nearing a sign & trade deal with the Clippers for F Reggie Evans. Nets would send future 2nd rounder to Clips. Twitter
Sam Amick: Source says Evans deal is three years at $1.6 million per. Almost done. Twitter
The Clippers are also expected to make offers to re-sign free-agent guards Chauncey Billups, Randy Foye and Nick Young. Billups is still recovering from season-ending Achilles' tendon surgery. The Clippers also have an interest in unrestricted free-agent guard Jamal Crawford. The Clippers are not expect to make offers to free-agent forwards Kenyon Martin and Reggie Evans. Los Angeles Times
Olshey said the Clippers would like to add a shooting guard with some size and a back-up forward with shooting range and passing ability. Olshey and the Clippers will also have to make a lot of decisions regarding their own free agents. Chauncey Billups, Randy Foye, Nick Young, Kenyon Martin and Reggie Evans will all be free agents this summer. Orange County Register
Dad grins wide, the beard that hangs an inch below his rigid jawline puffing out slightly, and claps. His son flashes back a bright smile and smacks his hands together, too. Evans already has R.J.'s next hoop picked out. When he's old enough, Evans plans on bringing his son to the court he grew up on in the projects of Pensacola, Fla. "It's better that way," he says in a mellow Southern drawl as he continues shagging balls for his son. "Playing out there, there's really no rules. People may take your basketball, people may kick your basketball. It'll make you grow up tough -- it made me mentally tough and physically tough. Playing on concrete, getting all scratched up. "I wouldn't change anything. It's what helped me become the person I am now, on the court." ESPN.com
Evans never got a chance to be much more than a rebounder in the NBA. Good for 15 points a game at Iowa, where he led the Big Ten Conference in rebounding and double-doubles in each of his two seasons, Seattle SuperSonics coach Nate McMillan narrowed Evans' responsibilities as soon as he arrived in the pros as an undrafted free agent. From then on, McMillan mandated, his game would center on only four things: rebound, set picks, play defense and give energy. Evans quickly acknowledged his life as a scorer was over, and he never looked back. "My change was easy, because I just played one end of the court," he said. "I'm just taking away one thing -- shooting the ball, just scoring. That was it. I was cool with it! … A non-drafted kid, starting, playing about 16 minutes a game. I was happy. I was content. All I had to do was work hard." ESPN.com
Largely because of his rebounding prowess, Evans has earned a reported $27 million in his career. The sweat that so drenches his headband that he's often forced to swap in a new one at halftime is what brought him to this point, and that too is a victory he celebrates. "A lot of [players are] stuck on scoring," he says. "I take a lot of pride knowing that a lot of these guys got drafted, I didn't get drafted and I'm the one still in the league." ESPN.com
It's been well established that the Los Angeles Clippers seem to enjoy making the most out of the incidental contact that tends to happen about 97,000 times during an NBA game. The team takes plenty of licks with its banging, athletic style, but it also likes to magnify the impact of said licks by flopping, and losing a bit of credibility with the referees along the way. With that in place, it's still hard to understand why the 'Peter and the Wolf' syndrome would influence referee Marc Davis for whistling a technical foul on Clipper forward Reggie Evans for … high-fiving his teammate? Yahoo! Sports
Los Angeles Clippers forward Reggie Evans said the Clippers got "punked" by the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 2 of their first-round series and need to respond in Game 3 in Los Angeles. "We got punked around," Evans said. "It is what it is. They did a good job of being physical. It showed. The tape don't lie. We just learn from it. It's a great thing that we have a seven-game series ... We were pushed around and that goes for all of us." ESPN.com
"You could say I got punked around a couple of times," Evans said. "They got 16 offensive rebounds, so what is that a sign of? We got pushed around, punked around, that's what it's a sign of. We just have to bounce back. They did what they're supposed to do and we did what we're supposed to do. We went there and stole one and they came back and hit us back." ESPN.com
Vincent Goodwill: NBA's dirtiest players, according to the players: Reggie Evans, KG, Ron-Ron, Jeff Foster, CP3, Gerald Henderson, K-Love, Kurt Thomas, Varejao, Eduardo Najera, Ryan Hollins, Dwight Howard, Battier, Jamaal Magloire and Raja Bell...any surprises? Twitter
In the second game, technical fouls were issued to the Lakers' Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, and Josh McRoberts, who got two and was ejected. The Clippers' Chauncey Billups and Reggie Evans also received technicals. "We don't make too much of it," Paul said. "First of all, it's been so long ago that we played them. We're two totally different teams. I don't even remember that last game too much. But it's obviously a big game" Wednesday. And what about Gasol rubbing Paul on the head in the second game, causing the Clippers All-Star guard to push Gasol back? "I don't even remember that, until you bring it up," Paul claimed. So is this a rivalry? "It's not really a rivalry," Griffin said. "It's a game between two teams that play in the same city, play in the same building. It's just another game." Los Angeles Times
Evans wanted to emphatically set the record straight about his relationship with Martin. "Man, me and 'Kmart' is good," Evans said. "We have not ever had no altercation." Evans said he had to respond to an Internet report that said he and Martin were at odds with each other. Los Angeles Times
Evans said it was not true and that he is upset about it. He said that he has been invited to Martin's house to have dinner with Martin's mother. "I wouldn't be doing all that if we had beef," Evans said. "Ain't no beef whatsoever. I don't know why somebody would even say something like that. But that's what girls do." Los Angeles Times
Forward Reggie Evans bristled when the topic of his coach's fate was raised on Wednesday. "Did you honestly think we were going to keep on losing like that?" he asked. "Let's be real. It's the NBA. You're going to go through your ups and downs. You've got a team that had no training camp together, we're still adding on players, and you're still trying to make all this stuff work. You're going to go through ups and downs. SI.com
Evan was docked $25,000 dollars by the league Friday for making an obscene gesture during Monday's home against New Orleans. Essentially he was caught flipping the bird to someone. Evans admits he did it, but wants to make it clear it was not directed at a fan as has been widely speculated on the internet, specifically Deadspin.com. Or as Evans described Deadspin, "a bogus website." "Since I've been here I've had 19, 20 thousand fans cheering my name. And out of that 19 or thousand I've not had one person saying something negative to me," Evans said Friday. "I think if I would have (really) done something you all would have picked it up on it and asked me about it after the game." Los Angeles Daily News

Uday clarifies not dating Parineeti Chopra! |
Uday Chopra and Parineeti Chopra the new BFF in b-town were spotted in many parties and in some restaurants for dinners and were seen sharing a cup of coffee together. Though the two say that they are good buddies, industry insiders calls them couple and vouch that there is more to just being friends! Parineeti having been worked with the Yash Raj Productions as a marketing person before getting launched by YRF in two of their movies, is said to be calling Uday Chopra, scion of Yash Chopra as 'Sir'. The two were spotted at Priyanka Chopra's success party for her cousin Parineeti and also bang on in Karan Johar's 40th Birthday party, hand-in-hand. Uday Chopra though did not have a good career in B-town, and was reported to be dating Tanisha Mukherji, he is now heading YRF Entertainment's Beverly Hills-based production and financing company. Uday will start work on his debut Hollywood production, to be directed by Olivier Dahan and stars Nicole Kidman. Uday however denies these dating stories and tweeted, "Whoa! @ParineetiChopra and I are NOT dating guys…it's kinda ridiculous! And she doesn't call me Sir, though I think she should start ???? :-P" Well then we guess, Uday does not think more than Fraandship. But Miss Parineeti does not even have to change her last name if these rumors are indeed true! |

text: Gadgets are good. Gadgets are fun. Gadgets make for the best of friends while on the run. Apologies for the campfire sing-along, but most of us would feel completely lost without cell phones featuring camera/camcorder functions or on-the-spot Internet connectivity. Seriously, Miss June's online pictorial won't just disappear as soon as the clock strikes midnight on July 1--she'll be strutting her stuff all year long! So what is our hang-up with needing to own the latest wave of technological wonders? The fact of the matter is that convenience, in all its readily available, electronic forms, makes life much more interesting and enjoyable while on and off a bike. During any long trek, it's always refreshing to have the option of blocking out the sounds of traffic, cranking up the stereo and never once having to hear a song repeated five times within the same half hour. Also, knowing where you are headed and properly assessing unforeseen detours and road closures is as important as properly utilizing your current surroundings--restaurants, hotels and fuel and service stations can all be tracked through customizable GPS software. If good music and even better traffic directions are important to you, by all means, stick around. Take a minute to navigate your way though the following products and decide which gadget goodies will better enhance your next long-mile run. Once your new toys have been installed, hop on your bike, turn up the volume, program your favorite bookstore on your trusty GPS, stroll in and read the back of that foldout poster you know you've been thinking about since the first paragraph. Hopefully, her turnoffs won't include big, hairy, tech-loving bikers! If you sadly fit the description, no worries--toss that hag rag aside and reach for the next issue of Baggers instead!

Leach: We played six offensive lineman every snap this year, that's a first for me
Asked about the biggest challenge that he faced this season at Washington State, Mike Leach noted a first for his coaching career.
"One of the most 'marathon' things that I've ever seen...I've never even heard of this really. But we had six offensive lineman take every snap that we did this year. Every one."
"Usually you do it with eight, which means that everybody's effort is cut by about a third. And then if you get the thing in hand, which we didn't get any in hand, then you play the seconds, and thirds." Leach explained.
"We had six guys play vitually every snap. So that was fairly challenging."

two blue shoes

Later, Oliver.
Father Bob
ran the show. I sat on a beanbag, on the floor, next to a man I didn't know. Our baby sons played together gently, and we both wept.
Two funerals, this kid has been to, and not a year old.

I was not pleased with the room. Even for a smoking room, it had a terrible odor in it. The couch was worn and not comfortable to sit on. The bed was not comfortable. The restroom was not clean. There was hair in the bathtub. The carpet had not been vacuumed and the people across from me was terrible neighbors.

The Impact of a School Leadership Preparation Program on Student Graduates Rosalba Corrado Del Vecchio, The School of Education, Department of Administrative and Instructional Leadership; Doctoral Student: Yana He
In recent years, controversial reports such as Levine's Educating School Leaders (2005) describe the astounding diversity of school leadership preparation programs in Schools of Education in the United States, while, at the same time, growing research evidence points to a strong linkage between student achievement and educational leadership practices. Researchers Leithwood, Seashore Lewis, Anderson, and Wahlstrom (2004) claim that "leadership is second only to classroom instruction among all school- related factors that contribute to what students learn in school." (p.7) and they point to three sets of practices as fundamental to significantly improve student learning without which "not much would happen" (p. 10): setting directions, developing people, and redesigning the organization. Within this context, the purpose of our study is to examine a school building leadership preparation program through three research questions:
Quantitative and qualitative data is being gathered, from 300 graduates with a Master degree in School Building Leadership, who participated in a federally funded, New York City Department of Education (DOE) Title II A partnership program, from 2007 to 2012. Through the study's finding, the researchers plan to add their recommendations for improvement to the ongoing debate about leadership preparation for school building leaders in New York State.

Remember, the sabaceous glands are where both seb derm and rosacea are. My neck -- sides and back primarily -- get a solid beet
, not spots. It's been pretty much this way for months at a time. Once it went away for a month but then came back. So I thought maybe contact dermatitis? The problem with contact dermatitis is that it often takes weeks for the reaction to take place so very hard to find the culprit. In other words it may have been something I wore a month ago, not yesterday.

Hi Jim I think I am going to pick up where I left off 6 weeks ago. I wanted to consult with another derm, but haven't done so. I dropped the
from 1 gram to 500mg quite some time ago, and the rosacea didn't getting any worse on the lower dosage. I plan on staying on this low dose Amoxil till at least X-mas. I am so pleased that the blepharitis almost completely resolved on this low dose. That alone is worth staying on it, and just maybe a 250mg dosage would suffice.

I have also a vaginal biopsy, for several vaginal zones, which is normal. I was treated with
500 mg twice a day, for seven days, with a good response. After treatment, I had recurrence of symptoms, almost immediately. Also, I have been with daily sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) vaginal douches (descript by the literature), without a good response. I need help!!!!!!!!!!!

I find that I have these vaginal tears under stress. The labia is
, irritated, often with white discharge present....and the cracks or tears are like paper cuts and hurt alot and sting when you urinate. When it happens, it seems to happen when I'm stressed, or at a certain time of my cycle. And it seems to get better when I start my period. I believe it's hormone related. I think it's because the hormones and stress somehow causes an imbalance of the pH of the vagina discharge.

Last night at the hospital it started affecting my ankles and still hurt there. My skin feels tight - like when you get a sunburn and I get tingling in my hands like they are asleep. My toes hurt as well.

Yes I know it is not good to not eat all day, but I have to do what is best for me and that is not spend all my day in the bathroom. Hopefully in time, things will improve, but this is the best alternative for now. I have found that this surgery affects people in so many ways.

I can't say I'm under any unusual stress, but I did spend the entire Sunday (today) in the -5C outdoors building an ice rink. I did have about 4 glasses of

I have a feeling this has something to do with the electrical controls of the heart - perhaps slight changes to diet, environment cause it to temporarily malfunction.

Dumb as We Wanna Be–Green Energy vs. Green Space in Brazil vs. US Tariffs
by AdministratorProvided as a service. Another one from Friedman.
September 20, 2006
Op-Ed Columnist
São Paulo, Brazil
I asked Dr. José Goldemberg, secretary for the environment for São Paulo State and a pioneer of Brazil's ethanol industry, the obvious question: Is the fact that the U.S. has imposed a 54-cents-a-gallon tariff to prevent Americans from importing sugar ethanol from Brazil "just stupid or really stupid."
Thanks to pressure from Midwest farmers and agribusinesses, who want to protect the U.S. corn ethanol industry from competition from Brazilian sugar ethanol, we have imposed a stiff tariff to keep it out. We do this even though Brazilian sugar ethanol provides eight times the energy of the fossil fuel used to make it, while American corn ethanol provides only 1.3 times the energy of the fossil fuel used to make it. We do this even though sugar ethanol reduces greenhouses gases more than corn ethanol. And we do this even though sugar cane ethanol can easily be grown in poor tropical countries in Africa or the Caribbean, and could actually help alleviate their poverty.
Yes, you read all this right. We tax imported sugar ethanol, which could finance our poor friends, but we don't tax imported crude oil, which definitely finances our rich enemies. We'd rather power anti-Americans with our energy purchases than promote antipoverty.
"It's really stupid," answered Dr. Goldemberg.
If I seem upset about this, I am. Development and environmental experts have long searched for environmentally sustainable ways to alleviate rural poverty — especially for people who live in places like Brazil, where there is a constant temptation to log the Amazon. Sure, ecotourism and rain forest soap are nice, but they never really scale. As a result, rural people in Brazil are always tempted go back to logging or farming sensitive areas.
Ethanol from sugar cane could be a scalable, sustainable alternative — if we are smart and get rid of silly tariffs, and if Brazil is smart and starts thinking right now about how to expand its sugar cane biofuel industry without harming the environment.
The good news is that sugar cane doesn't require irrigation and can't grow in much of the Amazon, because it is too wet. So if the Brazilian sugar industry does realize its plan to grow from 15 million to 25 million acres over the next few years, it need not threaten the Amazon.
However, sugar cane farms are located mostly in south-central Brazil, around São Paulo, and along the northeast coast, on land that was carved out of drier areas of the Atlantic rain forest, which has more different species of plants and animals per acre than the Amazon. Less than 7 percent of the total Atlantic rain forest remains — thanks to sugar, coffee, orange plantations and cattle grazing.
I flew in a helicopter over the region near São Paulo, and what I saw was not pretty: mansions being carved from forested hillsides near the city, rivers that have silted because of logging right down to the banks, and wide swaths of forest that have been cleared and will never return.
"It makes you weep," said Gustavo Fonseca, my traveling companion, a Brazilian and the executive vice president of Conservation International. "What I see here is a totally human dominated system in which most of the biodiversity is gone."
As demand for sugar ethanol rises — and that is a good thing for Brazil and the developing world, said Fonseca, "we have to make sure that the expansion is done in a planned way."
Over the past five years, the Amazon has lost 7,700 square miles a year, most of it for cattle grazing, soybean farming and palm oil. A similar expansion for sugar ethanol could destroy the cerrado, the Brazilian savannah, another incredibly species-rich area, and the best place in Brazil to grow more sugar.
A proposal is floating around the Brazilian government for a major expansion of the sugar industry, far beyond even the industry's plans. No wonder environmental activists are holding a conference in Germany this fall about the impact of biofuels. I could see some groups one day calling for an ethanol boycott — à la genetically modified foods — if they feel biofuels are raping the environment.
We have the tools to resolve these conflicts. We can map the lands that need protection for their biodiversity or the environmental benefits they provide rural communities. But sugar farmers, governments and environmentalists need to sit down early — like now — to identify those lands and commit the money needed to protect them. Otherwise, we will have a fight over every acre, and sugar ethanol will never realize its potential. That would be really, really stupid.
