I don't have retail experience and what I need to price is SAAS, however I am aware of the psychological factors when it comes to pricing. $19.95 is a heck better than $20, even though the price is basically the same.
Currently I have 3 subscription levels:
- $9.95 / mo -- BASIC
- $19.95 / mo -- PREMIUM and
- $149.95 / yr ($12.99 / mo) -- PRO
I do have subscribers on all levels... I don't intend to drop PREMIUM, because this is a great value, however, the Annual price looks a little out of order. I know some offer 10 - 20% if users pay annually. In my case it's more of 25%. I am starting to lean towards $179.95 / yr ($14.99 / mo). Or is it too steep?

The Neal Communities Golf Challenge and a matching grant of $10,000 committed to by Owner Pat Neal, raised $21,800 for B.D. Gullett Elementary in Lakewood Ranch.
The money will be used to help fund resources to support the success for all students in the areas of math, science, reading, the arts and technology.
Coordinated by B.D. Gullett Elementary Parent-Teacher Organization, the Neal Communities Golf Challenge held Sept. 12th at University Park Country Club attracted 60 golfers, who each donated $100 toward the golf scramble. Additional dollars were raised from raffle ticket sales for rounds of golf at the area's most prestigious semi-private and private golf clubs as well as golf equipment, a notebook computer and more. Another 30 guests who attended the post-golf scramble banquet dinner also contributed to the golf challenge's total proceeds of $11,800.
Per a matching funds offer from Pat Neal to B.D. Gullett Elementary PTO, Neal Communities donated an additional $10,000, raising the total amount to $21,800. A check was presented to B.D. Gullett Elementary Principal Kathy Hayes and the school children at a special Peace Pole Dedication Ceremony Sept. 21.
"B.D. Gullett's students will greatly benefit from the generosity put forth by Neal Communities, University Park Country Club and our PTO," Hayes said. "We are honored by the outpouring of support from all who participated."

text: Home Politics Black PACs: Greeks Take Action Two new political action committees say it's time for our electoral participation to evolve. By: Cynthia Gordy Posted: May 29 2012 12:08 AM 0 1911 United (The Root) -- The terms "PAC," short for "political action committee," and "super PAC," a reference to its mightier cousin, often conjure unsettling images of a pay-to-play electoral system: pharmaceutical-industry-backed groups that contribute thousands of dollars to members of Congress to sway legislation in their corporate interests, for example, or a staggering $10 million campaign donation from just one person. But a new set of PACs, fueled by the collective membership power of historically black fraternities and sororities, argue that they're cut from a different cloth. Generally, PACs serve the purpose of raising and spending money to elect and defeat political candidates, ballot initiatives or legislation. Most are "connected PACs" established by business, labor unions and trade groups, but they're limited in how much they can receive (up to $5,000 from individuals) and give (up to $5,000 to a candidate or candidate committee per election, and up to $15,000 to a political party per year). PACs are also prohibited from accepting money from corporations and labor unions. Super PACs, meanwhile, have no restrictions on who contributes to them or how much they give. Allowed free rein by the Supreme Court's Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission ruling in 2010, super PACs may accept limitless funds directly from the bank accounts of corporations, unions and wealthy individual donors. As The Root reported in January, a pro-Obama super PAC founded by members of Kappa Alpha Psi and Omega Psi Phi, 1911 United, is raising funds toward organizing 10,000 volunteers for President Obama's re-election. In April, Unity9 PAC -- a political action committee represented by members of the oldest African-American fraternities and sororities, unofficially known as the "Divine Nine" -- launched with the mission to financially assist congressional candidates and elected officials with legislative priorities of concern to the black community. "Other super PACs looked at the Citizens United decision and thought about how they can now use enormous amounts of money to make corporate media conglomerates richer. They've spent incredible amounts of money on negative ad campaigns," Sinclair Skinner, treasurer of 1911 United, told The Root. "We're mobilizing people using fewer funds and getting a better return. We're not using fire to fight fire. We're using water to fight fire." Where the (Political) Action Is Unity9 PAC and 1911 United were both hatched from the same idea: expanding their footprint in the political process. As tax-exempt foundations with 501(c)(3) status, historically black fraternities and sororities have limited election activities. For instance, Greek-letter organizations are prohibited from endorsing or opposing a candidate or contributing to political campaigns. Their political involvement has thusly concerned voter registration, education and get-out-the-vote activities. Like The Root on Facebook. Follow us on Twitter. "But the other side of the political process involves supporting people who have made the choice of seeking office," Samuel C. Hamilton, chairman of Unity9 PAC, told The Root. "The formation of a nonconnected political action committee is the piece that needed to be put in place in order to see African Americans engaged in the overall process fully."

Responsible Innovation in Finance*
G. Padmanabhan
C' est en effet un honneur et un privilège d'être ici ce soir, dans une des plus belles villes du monde, d'accepter au nom de l'une des Banques centrales les plus respectées du monde le prix Dufrenoy de l'Innovation décerné pour l'année 2012, à la Reserve Bank of India (pour nos calibrage politique dans le règlement des produits financiers). Je remercie tous ceux qui ont contribue a nous choisir pour cet honneur. Maintenant avant que l'on me decerne le prix pour l'innovation dans la langue française, je voudrais continuer mon discours en anglais. (It is indeed and honour and a privilege to be here this evening, in one of the most beautiful cities in the world and to accept, on behalf of one of the most respected Central Banks in the world, the Dufrenoy Prize for innovation, awarded for the year 2012 to the Reserve Bank of India, for our calibrated approach to the introduction and regulation of financial products. I thank all those who have contributed to conferring this honour on us. And now, before I am awarded the prize for innovations to the French language, let me continue my speech in English.)
2. Let me begin by referring to the citation of the jury who decided on this prestigious Dufrenoy Prize to the RBI. The observations of the honourable jury members about the Indian regulatory approach being precautionary and gradual, with a culture of testing and paying attention to potential negative effects of sophisticated financial products before facilitating them, precisely encapsulates the culture and methodology of the Reserve Bank of India, as it seeks to fulfill its mandate - by juggling the multifarious roles assigned to it – of maintaining stability of both prices and the financial system and supporting economic growth. In all the roles that we play, the common thread that underlies any policy is that it should promote growth. Not just growth, but sustainable growth, which in turn can be brought about only with inclusive growth, benefiting the society at large, but without undermining financial stability. Now, a few words about what the Reserve Bank does.
3. Apart from the quintessential central banking roles like formulation of monetary policy and printing and distribution of currency, we also manage the external sector, regulate and supervise banks, non-bank finance companies and segments of financial markets (money, forex, government securities). We also regulate the payment and settlement systems. We are banker to banks and to the Government - federal and state governments. We are also the debt manager of the government, managing all their market borrowings, calibrating both the amounts and the timing to ensure that this does not crowd out other players. Added to all this, and perhaps unique to Central Banking anywhere in the world, we are mandated to pay special attention to the agricultural and allied sectors and have created and hived off several institutions for channelizing credit to agriculture, industry, small and medium enterprises, housing, mutual funds, settlement of trades, etc., etc.
4. We also have a key role at very micro levels in the development process. We are currently in the process of ensuring empowerment to a hitherto voiceless segment of society by facilitating their entry into the mainstream of economic activity by trying to bring them into the ambit of formal banking channel (financial inclusion) by customizing certain products and services for them. We are following up this objective by also educating the people (financial literacy) about the benefits of being part of the formal financial sector and the host of facilities and benefits they can demand from it. We are also following up with the Government to include financial literacy in the curriculum of educational institutions so as to equip the young ones with the necessary skills before they enter the real world.
5. Having given you a bird's eye view of our myriad functions, let me walk you through our policy formulation processes. Before introduction of any new concepts, regulations or financial products, we generally elicit the opinions of various segments, i.e., stake holders, academicians, financial institutions, researchers, and laymen. We do this by placing a discussion paper on our website and the paper is converted into policy only after factoring in the various inputs so received. This serves the dual purpose of (i) preparing the market for the new product/dispensation and (ii) negating to a large extent the unexpected consequences that a possibly one sided regulation could have brought about.
6. Since we have been awarded the prize for the gradual introduction of new financial products into the markets, let me illustrate with an example on the guided, gradual, sequenced and calibrated development and integration of markets in India, one of which, namely, the forex market, Mrs. Gopinath and I have been privileged to witness almost since the very beginnings. Forex markets started in India with the banks being required to maintain square or near square open exchange position and the central bank announcing the buying and selling rates. Today the country can boast of a market with a daily turnover of USD 60 Billion, with most of the products and their variants being traded and a Central CounterParty (CCP) arrangement for settling inter-bank forex transactions. Even today, corporates are allowed to access the market only to hedge an underlying exposure and not to take any punts on the currency. They are still not allowed to write options and thereby take on open ended risks. In recent times, the same thumb rule has been followed even while enabling Credit Default Swaps (CDS) contracts. In other words, little skeptical of the globally accepted, almost axiomatic belief in the self correcting mechanism of markets, but also conscious that too much regulation could throttle, we have put in place certain safeguards, which while allowing normal free play would guard against the ability of individual market makers to move markets in directions beneficial to them but detrimental to the stability of the system. We, therefore, prescribed limits on positions and leveraging keeping in view the interconnectedness of institutions in the financial system. The recent global meltdown occasioned precisely on account of these factors of excessive leverage coupled with lack of regulation have vindicated our stand that no systems that undermine the real economy should be allowed unbridled freedom as any ravages to the real economy take years to repair.
7. At the same time, recognizing that well developed, efficient markets are a prerequisite for price discovery and critical from a Central Bank perspective for the efficient transmission of monetary policy impulses, the RBI has been playing a proactive role in developing the financial markets in a manner so as to ensure that they are in sync with the real economy. Simultaneously, efforts are being made to develop infrastructure, technology and capabilities of market participants, while evaluating their ability to absorb shocks, and insisting on their putting in place robust risk management systems, since we are conscious that our overarching objective is the maintenance of financial stability.
8. But should all this mean a total change in approach to financial innovation? At the International Research Conference hosted by us, Mr John Lipsky of the IMF while focussing on the importance of finance for rapid and sustainable growth, observed, and I quote, "While some might consider this topic odd in light of the current crisis, I will seek to draw out some key lessons of recent events for the appropriate policy stance toward financial innovation. Many critics...have concluded that such innovation is to be actively discouraged. But I would claim that this is precisely the wrong lesson to draw. Despite the unsettling and even dramatic recent global experience with "cutting edge" finance, I believe that without a renewed effort to foster financial innovation in the global economy, all countries - including emerging market economies - will underperform their potential. The principal challenge for policymakers, then, is to strike an appropriate balance between financial openness that supports growth - enhancing innovation while at the same time implementing regulations and effective supervision that limit the potential risk of financial instability..." The recently published report by the World Economic Forum titled "Rethinking Financial Innovation" (2012) concludes, "Successful innovation in financial services can improve capital productivity with beneficial effects that permeate through the wider economy. Unsuccessful innovation can have the opposite effect. It is important, therefore, to face up to the challenge effectively..." The report advocates that effective risk management systems need to be put in place and goes on to argue that "aside from explicit risk-management frameworks, governance mechanisms (should) also include new product development and approval processes employing various safeguards against unwise innovation…and an extensive regulatory infrastructure". This is a daunting challenge and has indeed been challenged, but the Indian regulatory approach to financial innovation has always endeavoured to be on these lines.
9. In concluding, I would once again like to convey gratitude of the Reserve Bank of India to Ecole des Mines de Paris for recognizing and appreciating us for the very reason we were criticized not so long ago. It is indeed an honor and we are here to accept the award with all humility and are deeply conscious of the fact that we have miles to go yet. I would also like to thank all those who are present here today to witness this award ceremony.
Merci beaucoup and a bientot.

The City and the Poet
Kenji Yoshino
, Tuesday, 31 May 2005
Yale L.J.
1835 (2005)
Although it is a contemporary of law and economics, law and literature has never secured widespread uptake in the legal academy. In this Article, Professor Yoshino explains the relative anemia of the discipline and prescribes a cure. Law has an incentive to distance itself from literature, which is tainted by its perceived falsity, irrationality, and seductiveness. Yet as a textual practice, law has difficulty distinguishing itself from literature more broadly construed. Law and literature is a fraught enterprise because law must struggle with the seeming necessity and impossibility of banishing the literary from its confines.
Yoshino argues that this struggle between law and literature is so fundamental it has become an archetype. He takes Plato's banishment of the poet from the city as his paradigm case, arguing that the Platonic opposition between poetics and philosophy is an ancient analogue of the current opposition between law and literature. And while Plato's censorship of the poet is one of his most reviled ideas, Yoshino endorses Plato's approach, which can be distilled into three normative claims: (1) Literature cannot be permitted to conflict with the core functions of the state; (2) literature cannot evade accountability to those core functions by asserting an ineradicability defense that posits the impossibility of evicting literature; and (3) literature can be granted a place in the law only if it can mount a virtue defense that demonstrates that literature serves, rather than subverts, those core state functions.
Yoshino then applies the Platonic paradigm to two contemporary law-and-literature conflicts: the Supreme Court's banishment of victim-impact statements from capital trials and scholarly calls to evict personal narratives from legal scholarship. He concludes that Plato's functionalist approach provides a guide to the proper relationship between law and literature that could resolve these specific conflicts and more generally reinvigorate the field.

Democratic Disobedience
Daniel Markovits
, Tuesday, 31 May 2005
Yale L.J.
1897 (2005)
Traditional justifications for civil disobedience emphasize the limits of legitimate political authority and defend civil disobedience as a just response when governments overstep these limits. Such liberal justifications are well suited to certain classes of civil disobedience--in particular, to disobedience in protest of laws or policies that violate basic rights. Moreover, these classes include the historical cases of civil disobedience (for example, in the American civil rights movement) to which the traditional treatments of civil disobedience responded. But the traditional liberal theory fits less well when civil disobedience is directed against laws or policies that fall within the scope of democratic political authority. Such cases figure increasingly prominently in the political landscape. The traditional theory of liberal disobedience is therefore increasingly inadequate to the practice of disobedience on the ground.
This Essay develops an alternative approach to civil disobedience--a theory of democratic disobedience--that can explain such cases. According to this theory, civil disobedience may be justified when there is a democratic deficit in the processes that have produced the laws against which the disobedience protests. Even if such laws could be legitimate, because they fall within the scope of democratic political authority, the democratic deficits that they suffer deprive them of actual authority. Civil disobedience functions, in such cases, not to limit but rather to enhance democracy.
The argument presents an account of democratic politics that highlights the possibility of democratic deficits as a necessary side effect of the basic mechanisms of democratic political authority, which democratic disobedience might correct. Along the way, the argument develops an analogy between civil disobedience and another seemingly antidemocratic political practice: judicial review. This analogy emphasizes the costs of approaching democratic disobedience on the traditional, liberal model. It also helps the argument structure the forms and limits of democratic disobedience. The argument concludes by speculating about the rising prominence of democratic disobedience and connects this phenomenon to broader trends in democratic politics.

Limiting Coercive Speech in Class Actions
Andrei Greenawalt
, Tuesday, 31 May 2005
Yale L.J.
1953 (2005)
Courts once routinely banned communications of named parties and their counsel with potential class members, until the Supreme Court, in Gulf Oil Co. v. Bernard, called for "specific findings" and a "weighing of interests" before the imposition of such bans. Most courts have interpreted the opinion to require evidence that inappropriate communications have already occurred before imposing limitations. This Note argues that Bernard can and should be interpreted differently. Specifically, it recommends that courts issue prophylactic restrictions when a structurally coercive relationship, such as employer-employee, exists between defendants and potential class members.

Divorcing Marriage from Procreation
Jamal Greene
, Tuesday, 31 May 2005
Yale L.J.
1989 (2005)
Public debate about same-sex marriage has spectacularly intensified in the wake of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court's decision in Goodridge v. Department of Public Health. But amid the twisted faces, shouts, and murmurs surrounding that decision, a bit of old-fashioned common-lawmaking has been lost. Some have criticized the Goodridge court for its apparently result-oriented approach to the question of whether, consistent with the Massachusetts Constitution, the commonwealth may deny marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Others have defended the decision, both on the court's own rational basis terms and on other grounds, including sex discrimination and substantive due process. This Comment contends that both sides are partly right.
I join those commentators who find Goodridge's reasoning flawed but its outcome correct. Where I part ways is in recognizing the vital importance but untapped potential of the Supreme Court's decision in Turner v. Safley. The Turner Court held unconstitutional a Missouri prison regulation denying inmates the right to marry except for "compelling reasons." It is a familiar case, frequently invoked in legal arguments over same-sex marriage to support the proposition that marriage is a fundamental right under our federal constitutional jurisprudence. Too often, however, these arguments miss the totality of what Turner tells us about exactly why marriage is a fundamental right. Because the Turner Court struck down a marriage ban that applied to a population with no legal right to procreate and that provided an exception for pregnancy, the decision undermines any claim that marriage is fundamental because of an inexorable connection to procreation.
Part I of this Comment scrutinizes and ultimately rejects the Goodridge court's rational basis analysis. Part II explores the road not taken in Goodridge--the fundamental rights approach of cases such as Loving v. Virginia, Zablocki v. Redhail, and Turner. I argue that for marriage to comport with our fundamental rights jurisprudence, the source of its constitutional definition must be constitutional common law, not individual state statutes. Part III rediscovers Turner as a source of that constitutional definition, concluding that the case is irreconcilable with the view that the possibility of procreation is a necessary affluent of marriage's fundamentality. With Bowers v. Hardwick officially dead, Turner insists that same-sex marriage bans answer to strict, and therefore fatal, scrutiny.

Why Affirmative Action Does Not Cause Black Students To Fail the Bar
Daniel E. Ho
, Tuesday, 31 May 2005
Yale L.J.
1997 (2005)
In a widely discussed empirical study, Richard Sander concludes that affirmative action at U.S. law schools causes blacks to fail the bar. If correct, this conclusion would turn the jurisprudence, policy, and law of affirmative action on its head. But the article misapplies basic principles of causal inference, which enjoy virtually universal acceptance in the scientific community. As a result, the study draws internally inconsistent and empirically invalid conclusions about the effects of affirmative action. Correcting the assumptions and testing the hypothesis directly shows that for similarly qualified black students, attending a higher-tier law school has no detectable effect on bar passage rates.
Part I clarifies the assumptions implicit in Sander's study and explains the inconsistent and indefensible premises on which it rests. Part II presents results from a reanalysis of the data, using alternative methods that correct and reduce the role of these unjustifiable assumptions. The reanalysis suggests that Sander's conclusions are untenable on their own terms. Part III concludes.

Mismeasuring the Mismatch: A Response to Ho
Richard H. Sander
, Tuesday, 31 May 2005
Yale L.J.
2005 (2005)
Daniel Ho claims that if one tugs at a single strand of my analysis of affirmative action, A Systemic Analysis of Affirmative Action in American Law Schools, the entire structure collapses. As I explain briefly in this Response, Ho is wrong. Ho seems to miss the central analytical framework of my article, is vague in his claims of bias, and offers an alternative approach that violates the very methodological precepts he lays out.

Affirmative Action's Affirmative Actions: A Reply to Sander
Daniel E. Ho
, Tuesday, 31 May 2005
Yale L.J.
2011 (2005)
I am grateful to Professor Sander for his interest in my work and his willingness to pursue a valid answer to the critical question of the effects of law school tier on bar performance. Sander's readiness to respond to my Comment demonstrates the importance of the questions at hand and his openness to progress on these issues. Fortunately, progress is possible, because, as I show here, the impressive-sounding points in Sander's Response violate basic methodological principles and are incorrect.
Sander points to certain descriptive facts that my Comment does not dispute. Black students appear to fail the bar at higher rates than white students. It also appears that "blacks and whites with similar law school grades (when controlling for school and entering credentials) have virtually identical graduation and bar outcomes." However, these descriptive observations are irrelevant to the causal question of whether going to a higher-tier law school causes black students to fail the bar. As my Comment and this Reply demonstrate, black law students who are similarly qualified when applying to law school perform equally well on the bar irrespective of what tier school they attend. There is no evidence that affirmative action reduces the bar performance of the students it is designed to help. The descriptive facts Sander presents may account for some of the reasons for affirmative action, but they do not address the consequences of affirmative action. Here, I respond to each of Sander's points in turn.

Basic SearchBasic Search is an ideal way to get started with ProQuest. Just think of a word or phrase related to the information you're looking for and type it into the computer. See hints on improving your searches for some tips on creating searches. See frequently asked questions on Basic searches for answers to some common questions. Basic Search:
You can focus your search with the following options (some are only available after clicking on More Options):
AuthorEnter an author's name to limit your search to articles written by a specific author or reviewer. You can enter the author's name in any order. Searching the author field for John A. Smith produces the same results as searching for Smith, John A. You can enter multiple author's names, separating them by AND to find articles by two authors. For more information on using this field, see the Search Tips. DatabaseThe Database field lets you limit your search to a specific database available from ProQuest. The default for this field is the database you are currently searching (or multiple databases, if you are searching more than one database).
Date RangeThe default for this field is All dates, which searches all information in the current databases. To limit your search, select the desired date range from the drop-down menu. If you select a date range option (for example, On this date... or Before this date...), a field (or fields) will appear for you to enter the desired dates. Enter the desired date(s). For information on the date formats ProQuest supports, see the date formats reference. Document TypeBy default, ProQuest searches all document types. To limit your search to a specific document type (for example, bibliography, book chapter, or journal article), select that document type from the drop-down menu. For more information on using this field, see the Search Tips. Exclude Book ReviewsCheck Book reviews to exclude book reviews from your results. Exclude DissertationsCheck Dissertations to exclude dissertations and theses from your results. Exclude NewspapersCheck Newspapers to exclude newspapers from your results. Limit results to: Full text documents onlyBy default, ProQuest will search all information in the selected databases.
If you select multiple limits, such as Multimedia and Scholarly content, your results will include content that matches either limit (e.g. the limits are �OR�d together). Look for terms inSelect Citation and abstract from the drop-down menu to search only within the citations and abstracts in ProQuest. Select Citation and document text to search within the complete text of the article, the citation fields, and the abstract. Searching in Citation and abstract is more likely to find articles whose main focus meets your search terms. Searching in Citation and document text will find more articles, because it will find articles that mention your search terms anywhere within the article. When you search just the citations and abstracts, ProQuest searches the following fields:
Natural Language SearchSearches are intercepted and translated using a natural language search engine. This lets you enter your search as a question or a sentence. The search engine will translate the entry to find the keywords by their position in the sentence. Publication Title (Look up)By default, this field is empty. To limit your search to a specific publication, enter the publication's title. Or click Look up publications to select a title from a list of the available publications. Publication Type (Browse)ProQuest searches all publication types by default. To limit your search to a specific publication type, select it from the drop-down menu. To search in multiple publication types, you will need to enter the information into the search field using the mnemonic. You can filter your articles by publication type on the Results page. Click on the desired publication type tab to view only those articles in your search results. Scholarly Journals, including peer-reviewedCheck this box to search only scholarly journals, including peer-reviewed journals. Leave the box empty to include other sources in your search. A publication is considered to be scholarly if it is authored by academics for a target audience that is mainly academic, the printed format isn't usually a glossy magazine, and it is published by a recognized society with academic goals and missions. A publication is considered to be peer reviewed if its articles
go through an official editorial process that involves review and approval
by the author's peers (people who are experts in the same subject area.)
Most (but not all) scholarly publications are peer reviewed. Some trade
publications are actually peer reviewed, but ProQuest does not consider
them when filtering on peer reviewed. This is because getting results
from trade publications instead of academic journals can be frustrating
to researchers. Instead, ProQuest excludes these peer reviewed trade publications
and only considers publications that are scholarly in terms of content,
intent, and audience. Sort Results byThis field lets you select how you want your results sorted. The options that are available here depend on the database or databases you are currently searching. For example, you may be able to sort records by most relevant, or to display the oldest records first. Select the desired search order from the drop-down menu. You can change your sort order on the Results page by using the Sort results by drop-down menu. |

Report: Suns talking trade for Memphis' Rudy Gay
The Suns sit at 12-23, the second-worst record in the Western Conference and 7.5 games out of the final playoff spot.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports, the team is tinkering with even more change.
Wojnarowski wrote Tuesday morning that the Suns are engaged in talks with the Memphis Grizzlies about forward Rudy Gay.
There's no framework of a possible deal in place, but the Grizzlies have expressed a strong desire that any package involving Gay include Suns forward Jared Dudley and future first-round draft picks, sources said.
Gay, who is averaging 17.8 points for the Grizzlies this season, has two years remaining on his contract after this season, which will pay him over $37 million. He is making $16.4 million this season.
But as Wojnarowski points out, the Suns do have plenty of first round draft picks in future years, having acquired two of them from the Los Angeles Lakers in the Steve Nash deal last summer.
Gay, 26, was a first round draft pick (eighth overall) out of Connecticut by the Houston Rockets in 2006, but was later traded to the Grizzlies in a deal for Shane Battier. Gay has averaged 17.9 points per game over his seven-year NBA career.
Despite leading Memphis in scoring this season, his per game output is the lowest since his rookie season when he averaged 10.8 points per contest.
- Lon Babby, Suns president of basketball operations - Thursday December 12The Suns surprising run to start the season continues.
- Al McCoy, Hall of Fame Voice of the Suns - Thursday December 12Al McCoy discuss the Suns big win against the Lakers and what is coming up next for the team.

I'm not sure if this photo is eligible. I looked at rules, and could not find anything specific about my dilemma. I took photo, but I personally photoshopped the masks on and also the pumpkin. I took the photo through a glass door, while my 5 Golden Retrievers were waiting to come in for dinner. Getting them all in the same frame is a miracle!! Thank you for your consideration, if this is eligible.

I was expecting a wiki for smf ^^
Just amazing the smf arcade , smf projects and the wiki
Niko you are awesome ;)
This was one of the most important mods for me which I wanted to see and code for SMF. And what I see from current progress is; you will no longer need any wiki bridges/integrations.
And I must note that, I haven't done anything other than a few fixes for this project yet. Though hopefully, I'll help Niko as much as I can from now. I want to thank him for letting me help with this awesome project. :)
I'm very interested in this. One thing that becomes a barrier for forum participants is learning a new editor syntax; are you using the SMF editor for the wiki articles?
The starting demo looks good. I hope to see this project grow, its nice to see more larger projects for SMF.
Thanks Niko and Blue Dream. :)

There's love in the air in London England. She's a Brit and he's an American. Can the two find away to each others hearts? It's true love in every since of the word!
Chapter 1 - London England
"Spot on Adrian we got ourselves a deal chap." Said Barry Schuster the CEO of the Herman & Schuster.
"Thank you Barry glad to be doing business with you."
"You have any plans this evening Adrian?" asked Peter Herman walking over to the bar fixing us all a round of shots.
"Nothing special I was just going out for a bite to eat and a few pints at the Flag & Lamb"
"Great pub Flag & Lamb. We have reservations at the Carbon Bar, do join us will you?"
"Sounds good to me" I said.
"Very good then, cheers gentlemen" he said holding up his glass as we toasted with shots of Gin.
The Carbon Bar, I thought to myself trying to remember where I heard of that name. There was an article about it in the British Airlines magazine on the flight over I remembered. The description read; it's a stylish late night bar and club that has all the glamour you'd expect from a West End venue whilst maintaining an industrial elegance that would make trendy Shoreditch proud. With an impressive drink selection, stunning VIP area and a DJ booth to envy, Carbon looks set to be an excellent choice for the discerning drinker. Sounds like my kind of place.
The limousine pulled up to the valet entrance with a red velvet rope linked between to brass poles.
"Good evening Mr. Schuster your VIP room is ready sir" said the valet holding the door open for us as we filed out.
"Thanks Jimmy. After you gentlemen"
The club was everything the ad said it would be and nothing like I expected as we strolled through looking like we owned the place. The music from the DJ was flowing overhead; the stand up bar with its brass foot rail was lined with a wide assortment of business people and locals. Our VIP section was stunning with large sweeping wall length leather sofas and large cubed ottomans all around.
"So what do you think?" asked Barry as we stood at the bar ordering drinks
"One word Barry… WOW" I said
"You haven't seen anything yet chap. Just wait until midnight" he said smiling "Just wait"
He took his drink and went over to greet the other arriving guest. I threw back my first shot hoping to relax in anticipation of what was going to happen at "midnight". I looked at my watch. Two and a half hours before the magic hour I said to myself ordering another drink looking around trying to get a feel of the place.
"Cigars, cigarettes, mints" I heard a delicate voice from behind me approaching.
"Cigars, cigarettes, mint sir?" she asked walking up to me staring into my eyes intently. She's a tall cute girl with jet black hair with a little cap tilted on her head wearing a red and black poodle skirt, a tray filled with an assortment of cigars, cigarettes, and mints and a strap attached to it looped over her shoulders
"Mints please" I said starring at her green eyes
"One pound fifty please." she said.
I reached into my pocket, pulled out a wad of crumple European money and stuck out my hand. She smiled realizing that I was a foreigner and had no concept of what one pound fifty looked like. She fingered through the wad of bills and coin to help me out.
"There you go sir, one pound fifty. Thank you much" she said in a lilting English accent that just sent me reeling. 'Wow, talk more to me' I thought to myself.
"No, thank you Miss, I would have never figured out one pound fifty without your help" I said giving her a bill with the number five and the Queens picture on. She smiled.
"Are you sure sir, this is a very generous tip" she said keeping her hand extended out towards me.
"It's for you. Please keep it. It's the least I can do. After all I may need your help again" I said curling her hand up with mine and gently pushing back towards her.
"Very well then, just signal for me if you need my help again sir" she said putting the tip in her tip clip.
"Adrian, my name is Adrian Miller" I said hoping she would call me by my first name.
"Thank you Adrian. I'll be around. Cheers" she said walking away.
"Cigars, cigarettes, mints" she kept chanting softly as I watched her slowly dissolved into the crowd.
"Cigars, cigarettes, mints."
Chapter 2 – "It's ten minutes to midnight"
Dinner was fabulous with the exception of the "mashy peas". It seemed like mashy peas (English peas mashed like mashed potatoes back home in the U.S.) were served with everything. What the hell, I was having a great time with my new clients and becoming familiar with my surroundings enough to walk around on my own to check out the rest of the place.
It was getting close to midnight as I glanced at my watch. What was going to happen at midnight I wondered, some freak sex show or what? I needed a breath of fresh air so I headed for the front door.
"Coming back in sir?" asked the valet.
"Yeah, I'm with the Herman & Shuster party" I said flashing him Mr. Herman's business card that he told me to hang onto and to use anytime I wanted anything at the bar or the club.
"Oh, pardon me sir." Said the valet realizing that I was with them.
"No problem, I'm just stepping out for a little fresh air. I'll be back shortly"
"Very good sir, see you shortly then"
I went over to the open patio where a few people were standing, talking and probably taking a break like me. I threw back the rest of my Jack and Coke and set it on the table.
"Are you still having trouble with our currency Adrian?" asked the familiar voice. I slowly turned around. It's her, the cigarette, cigar and mints girl. She is standing in front me with a jacket on and her purse over her shoulder.
"Well, fortunately I haven't had to pay for anything out of my pocket since I met you. My client is paying for everything." I said smiling at her waiting to hear her talk to me some more with that British accent.
"Good on you then, you havin' fun?"
"As much as could be expected, this bar is the bomb"
"I wouldn't use that American phrase around here that much if I were you." She said smiling
I realized what I had just said putting my hand over my mouth.
"You're right. Sorry about that"
"It happens all the time with American tourist, especially with the teenagers. How long are going to be here?" she asked looking at my hands.
"For a week, I added on a few extra days to my business trip to do a little sight seeing and shopping. This is my first time here. Are you off work?"
"Yeah." She said looking up at the stars.
"Are you coming back?" I asked hoping she would say yes.
"Do you want me to?"
"Yes. Who else could I count on to help me with my money?" I said jokingly with a smile
"Okay then. I'll be back in an hour. If you really want to see me you'll be at the Champagne room at one pm. If not it was good meetin' you then".
"I'll be there, one pm, Champagne room. Wait a minute, what's your name?" I said waving goodbye as she walked away turning around pointing to her watch and holding up her index finger signaling "one o'clock".
I looked at my watch.
"Shit, it's almost midnight" I said as I started walking quickly back to meet up with the rest of the gang.
"There you are" said Barry standing at the bar holding up two drinks.
"On time Barry, so what's happening at midnight?"
Just as I asked the question the lights in the entire club went low. A fog began to creep along the entire floor of the club.
"What's happening Barry?" I asked looking concerned at the creeping fog passing by our legs.
"Just wait" said Barry taking a sip of his drink with confidence.
"ARE YOU READY!" announced the DJ over the speakers. The crowd in the club went nuts! What in the hell is about to happen I ask myself looking around trying to see any sign of what's to come.
"Can you turn my guitar on" said a voice in the dark lit club over the speakers.
"That's good" said the unfamiliar voice
"Ladies and gentlemen the Carbon Bar brings you…" The club went nuts as the DJ paused before his next words.
"THE GOO GOO DOLLS!" the DJ screamed into the mic as the Good Goo Dolls started playing 'Big Machine' from their latest album.
I couldn't believe me eyes; their on stage not ten feet away is The Goo Good Dolls! I was stunned. The place went as wild as did I.
"Surprised?" asked Barry shaking his fist and bobbing his head to the music
"Oh yeah Barry!" I shouted to him throwing back my drink reaching for another one.
"Good. We're glad you here and looking forward to a long a prosperous relationship" he said clapping his hand pumping his fist.
This was unbelievable. Nothing like I could have imagined or dreamed up. The Goo Goo Dolls were playing just like on the album, only live and in front of me. We ordered more drinks, danced, screamed and sang song after song, absolutely unbelievable.
Chapter 4 ~ The Champagne Room
It was five minutes to one when I looked at my watch. I've been counting down the minutes to seeing her again.
"Pardon me, where's The Champagne Room?" I asked a passing waitress.
"Just down the hall on your right you can't miss it. She's waiting for you." She said smiling followed by a wink. "I'm her best friend Fran".
What was that all about I started wondering as I made my way down a low lit hallway with photographs of Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, Dean Martin, Tony Bennett, Sammy Davis Jr. It was like I was going back in time. I could see a lit sign up ahead 'The Champagne Room'. Other couples were going in too. The interesting thing though is they were dressed like people did in the fifties and sixties. The guys have on suits with thin ties and the ladies where in full length dresses and bouffant hair styles. This is too cool I thought to myself.
I stood at the door nervous as hell to open it. I knew I wasn't dressed the part after seeing the others going in. 'Okay, just open the door and go meet this awesome English girl that has been driving you nuts with anticipation all night' I said to myself taking a deep breath.
I opened the door slowly. Then the song 'Somewhere in Time' started to play as if on queue. It couldn't have been a more perfect song if I had to chosen it myself. There she was sitting in the far right corner with a bottle of champagne on ice, three lit candles, and a dozen red roses. I just stood in the moment not knowing what to say or what to do. She stood up then straighten her dress and smiled. We couldn't take our eyes off each other as I walked towards her.
"So, am I anything like you were expecting?" she asked looking into my eyes smiling.
"Nothing like I could have ever imagined nothing like I could have ever wished for." I said reaching out and holding her hands.
"My name is Trudy, Adrian"
"Hello Trudy I'm glad to meet you."
"Was I worth waiting for?" she asked moving closer
"Like the moon waiting for the sun to rise knowing that such a moment could never last forever, but I'm not the moon, I am the sea the needs the sunrise and the sunset."
"You're making my heart flutter with such deep words Adrian" she said blushing
"Then let a thousand butterflies fly across your heart." I said pulling her closer
"How do you manage to have the perfect words to unlock my heart?" she asked
"Because I have the perfect girl."

Anti-corruption agency wins UN AwardThe Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission (ACRC) said Wednesday that its system on checking the transparency on public sectors won a United Nations Public Service Award. The commission entered the Public Service Awards 2012 in the category of anti-corruption with its system conducting an annual survey of around 220,000 citizens and public officials to evaluate the level of corruption of governmental bodies. The system began in 2002. Since then the number of bodies evaluated by the anti-corruption agency has risen from 71 to 684 in 2011. This year 1,344 anti-corruption systems from public sectors around the world vied for the award. "Through the announcement of our win, it could be said the ACRC's scientific and objective method of evaluating the corruption rate is recognized around the world," said Kim Young-ran, chairwoman of the ACRC. "We plan to upgrade our model to keep up with the new patterns of corruption that people feel uncomfortable with." The awards will be presented at a high-level event on June 23 on the occasion of United Nations Public Service Day, celebrated annually. |

Our Award-Winning Poets
Sue Malone Hayes
When I was a little girl, my father would sit me on his lap, in his deep, red leather chair, and read to me every night. He was academic to his fingertips and at that time was teaching and working toward his Ph.D. He read me poetry. When I was young, funny ones, like The Gingham Dog and the Calico Cat, and later serious works by Hopkins and Donne, Yeats and Whitman, and so many others. I loved every minute of it…I was also a classical pianist, giving my first solo concert at six. I guess I was made for a world that had already ceased to exist, but the man I was meant to marry was growing up half a world away in Ireland and he had such a similar upbringing. I wrote my first poetry just about the same time I wrote my first music; nineteen, and already knowing that both "the words" and "the music" were in me, and I must be available to let them find expression. Now in my sixties, badly crippled by an autoimmune disease, I am grateful for faith, for family in my husband and two wonderful adult children, for friends and for music and poetry, which sweeten the journey. One of the questions I could choose to answer was "What will you do with the prize money?" That's an easy one. We have very needy families in our church who struggle to put food on the table and shoes on their children's feet. That bothers me a great deal, since I have never had a day in my life where I worried if I were going to eat or have a place to sleep or be able to go to college or put one foot in front of the other. The money will go to our parish fund for "the needy families" and I know that our Father Bill knows where it will do the most good. I have been truly blessed. As Meister Eckhart, a medieval theologian wrote, "If you only said one prayer…thank you…it would be enough."

So I received some samples in the mail..HghPro, Perform & Motivate. I took one of each about 40 mins before hitting the gym. Take it fwiw, but I felt something goin' on. Super-setted hang cleans@115x3 reps with rev.grip shldr.presses x 9 reps for 5 sets & felt focused/determined to knock the sets out. After that hit hammer curls for 3 sets of 55lbs for 8 reps, then onto Db shoulder presses for 3x10reps with 60's. Arms and shoulders looked so jacked while i was pressing the weights up. Placebo? We'll see. I've been working out all week and I had all kinds of energy in the gym when I took all 3 pills. And in the bedroom too some hours later
I will be dosing this next time i workout to see if it happens again. Thanks to EasyEJL for the samples!

And just as brushing your teeth should be a regular occurrence, so too should be cleaning your pipes. Here are 5 reasons to take matters into your own hands right now. (You're welcome.)
More from MensHealth.com: The Wrong Way to Masturbate
It prevents cancer. A 2003 Australian study found that men who ejaculated more than five times a week were a third less likely to develop prostate cancer. Disease-causing toxins build up in your urogenital tract and when you rub one out, you flush the bad guys out of your system, says Brame.
It makes you harder. As you age, you naturally lose muscle tone … even down there. Regular sex or masturbation works out your pelvic floor muscles to prevent erectile dysfunction and incontinence. "It keeps the angle of your dangle perky," says Brame. Aim to (ahem) arrive 3 to 5 times a week for rock-solid results.
It helps you last longer. Taking yourself to palm prom may help you stretch your sack sessions. "[Masturbating] an hour before a date will give you more control," says Brame. Train yourself by timing how long it takes you to orgasm, suggests Ava Cadell, Ph.D., founder of loveologyuniversity.com. If it usually takes two minutes solo, try for three next time. Or count how many strokes you need to get to your happy place. If you're spurting after 50, shoot for 60. "Most men can double the number of strokes and the time within one month," Cadell says. Practice makes perfect, right?

The weekend cometh, and the Rogue Speakeasy leads you into it. This week, in honor of the release of Michael Hogan's Burial of the Dead, we're drinking a brew from the land of Hartford, Connecticut, where his grand mystery is set.
Like your beer with a unique Scottish twist? Honestly, that's a question you've probably never thought about, but once you've had an ale from Olde Burnside Brewing Company, you might feel like donning a kilt the next time you go drinking. The Scots are known for being a rough-and-tumble crowd, and Olde Burnside would make even the meanest, toughest Scot proud. This East Hartford, Connecticut microbrewery proudly claims that it uses only the highest quality hops and ingredients during the brewing process and does not use filter, pasteurize, or include any additives, stabilizers, or preservatives in its beers. They're all about providing the freshest and most full-flavored beers around, and they have become a local favorite since they opened in 2000.Olde Burnside beers can be found in 7 states across the Northeast, so next time you're feeling a wee bit Scottish, pick up their flagship Ten Penny Ale or their Penny Weiz Ale and enjoy a rich taste of Scotland. Leave the bagpipes at home, though. Or hell. Bring them with you and make some noise.
