How to access Wikipedia during its SOPA blackout
When Jimmy Wales announced that Wikipedia will go black tomorrow in the United States in solidarity with the anti-SOPA protest movement, it was not a decision taken lightly. It might have even surprised many who thought the popular free encyclopedia Wales founded would be adopting a less stark way of protesting the Draconian copyright act. (See CNET's FAQ on SOPA.)
After all, Wikipedia is one of the most popular Web sites in the world, and a major source of information for millions of people.
But fret not. Thanks to some clever advice from Andrew Lih, the author of The Wikipedia Revolution, … Read more

AND Obama doesn´t have the authority to over-ride the Constitution on his personal whim. He figuratively wipes his arse with the Constitution whenever it doesn´t agree with his "domination" agenda.This anti-American usurper is out of control! I´m calling on Congress to cut him off! Do it NOW!
And if Professor Williams is correct as I believe he is, the 2nd amendment intent was to ensure that private citizens would have access to any and all weapons that would be needed to defend their liberty from a tyrannical government. that would include any type of weapon that could be used within the borders of the USA to suppress and subjugate. That train has already left the station but the right to all weapons currently legal should not be infringed upon.
One Two punch..NO to Obama on gun control, followed by NO on raising the debt limit.It is time for Obama to feel the back of our hands on his face.Valerie Jarett said he would be ready to "RULE" from day one of his term.We the People will not be ruled.Cut up Obama´s credit card..he is maxxed out.
I´m glad to hear Walter Williams say this about the 2nd Amendment. I scream at my tv a lot when Republicans blither on about hunting but no one hears me but my dog.
This is the absolute truth. If you have inalienable rights granted to you from your creator then you have the inalienable right to protect those freedoms. The founders knew tyranny.
The response is to start pushing for the end of the GCA 1934, 1968 and FOPA 1986 as well as elimination of ATF. The government already gave up their power to tax which was (supposedly, according to the court) the only way they could mess with our purchasing/possessing selective fire weapons, grenades, artillery, etc - so file in the courts to get all of our 2nd amendment right back and remove gov thug harassment using our tax dollars. Check out the 7th and 10th circuit decisions back in the early 90s if you didn´t know that.
...I would pray NEVER to have to use a gun on an american soldier, but there are factions within our government, I wouldn´t feel too sure about......and though we may never have a "Red Dawn" encounter, doesn´t hurt to stay sharp...
The Second Amendment was never about hunting varmints of the four legged kind. It is there so that citizens may protect themselves from a corrupt, tyrannical and oppressive government. Now it appears that such a government may be coalescing in Washington, D.C.
During the Civil War many of the wealthy sponsored and trained cannon crews, with privately owned cannon.I wish we still did. I´d feel safer, frankly, if we had privately held, as much firepower as the Feds.
And by the way, Mr. Speaker, The Second Amendment is not for killing ducks .... It is for hunting politicians like (in) Grozney and in 1776, when they take your independence away".- Robert K. Dornen, U.S. Congressman. 1995
Yes, I have been saying this all along every time I hear stupid lefties try to bring up the hunting thing. This is escatly why EVERY single gun control law on the books is illegal and unconstitutional. What part of "...will not be infringed" do they not understand?? Repeal every single gun control law on the books. The Constitution is the overriding law of the land.
Please excuse the typos...am using my phone.

GRAFTON, Mass. - The scenes in the video are outside the norm for the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine: A giant pink glove chases cancer throughout the campus, occasionally on a horse, to the tune of "Evacuate the Dancefloor."
Staffers at the Grafton-based Tufts University veterinary college are hoping their contribution to the Pink Glove Dance Video ouevre will help them in the fight against breast cancer.
"We are so excited about this," said Karen Monahan, supply coordinator for the Cummings School. "We're hoping a lot of people will vote for us."
The video is an entry in Medline's annual Pink Glove Dance Video competition, in which hospitals, nursing homes, schools and other organizations in the United States and Canada compete. This marks the Cummings School's first entry.
"We said, 'Oh my God, we want to do this,'" Monahan said. "It's a morale booster, and it's a great cause."
The school has chosen the UMass Memorial Medical Center's Comprehensive Breast Center as its charity. The top video receives $10,000 for its charity, with second drawing $5,000 and third place getting $2,000.
Voting begins Friday, Oct. 12, and closes Oct. 26. Supporters can visit the website to vote for their favorite video.
About 90 people at the Cummings School participated in the video, which was shot over the summer. Monahan, in the giant pink glove costume, rode a horse and a golf cart as she chased a black-clad character bearing the letter "C" for cancer throughout the campus. Dancing campus staff, alpacas, dogs and even a freed hawk all play a role in cancer's capture.
The winners will be announced Nov. 2.

In an ongoing effort to raise the level of professionalism in and establish benchmarks for the industry, REMODELING surveys remodeling company owners every two years. While the editors appreciate the efforts of those who participated in this year's survey, the sample was too small to deliver results that would be statistically significant.
In lieu of research data, we instead offer profiles of four successful full-service remodelers from different parts of the country and with annual volumes ranging from $500,000 to $7 million. It is our hope that readers will use the figures presented here to get a baseline against which they can evaluate their own companies.

Trey Strock
Strock Enterprises Design & Remodel, Charleston, S.C.
Strock Enterprises is a family-owned business that, according to vice president Trey Strock, "creates alliances with trade partners and gets the best people in each field" to work with it. Company volume has been relatively flat the past several years. "It's important to know what you're spending on everything in your business. The hidden costs can just eat you alive," says Strock who is in charge of sales, marketing, estimating, and budgeting.
Marketing: 1.3% SEDR decreased its spending on marketing from close to 2% to about 1.3% ($14,000), but Strock says it's "a lot more direct." The company does more home shows, invites clients out to eat, and takes part in local charity organizations to get its name out. Strock is reevaluating the Google AdWords http://www.google.com/adwords program — "We spend $400 a month ... and don't see a lot of return" — but has ramped up his social media marketing, especially on Facebook. "We track trends with a Facebook Insights program that comes free with a commercial Facebook account," he says.
Volume: about $1.5 million
Type of business: full-service remodeling
Employees: 3 full-time office employees, 1 full-time project manager
Age of business: 27 years
Leads: 20 per month Leads have declined slightly since the downturn, and Strock says the company is "working harder to get each lead and [the jobs are] a lot smaller." He figures his cost per lead is about $500, which includes the website, plus all expenses for brochures, home shows, newsletters, meals, photography, and weekly letters to new homeowners.
The best lead source is home shows. "We put a lot of work into it and our booth is different from most," with large-format professional photography, Strock says.
Insurance: 3% SEDR holds commercial, auto, major medical, environmental, and bond insurance. Strock says workers' compensation and general liability costs have gone down this year.
Technology: 0.19% SEDR uses a cloud-based contact management system called Highrise. Once a job is secured the company switches to Basecamp calendar- and task-based project management software.
Office: 2.9% Expenses include property tax, phone, supplies, repairs, and pest control. Strock owns a building through another company and rents it back to SEDR. SEDR sends as many as 60 letters per week, so to lower printing costs, the company invested in a professional-quality printer.
Warranty work: 0.39% On paper the company has a one-year warranty, but "in reality, if someone calls us with something years later that is something we should have done better, we're not going to charge them. We just fix it," Strock says.
28%–35%: Your field labor burden will likely be in this range. About 18% of that will be for insurance; the rest will be for paid vacation, education, vehicle expenses, etc. As for health insurance, "the ability to offer it isn't tied to volume," REMODELING contributor and consultant Judith Miller says, "but rather when you become the type of company that can consistently raise your gross profits every six months. That is hard to do right now."
Anthony Slabaugh
Anthony Slabaugh Remodeling & Design, Stow, Ohio
Anthony Slabaugh said "No" to the recession. Though times were lean, he says, "The only thing we cut back on was debt." In the past few years, Slabaugh has moved from a home office to a lease-to-buy space, taken on a line of credit, paid off his trucks, opened a 2,000-square-foot design center, and increased marketing expenditures. The money he spent on marketing is showing results. In 2009 he paid off the credit line and says he's gaining community recognition.
Overhead: 16% Slabaugh's overhead expenses (without his salary) were about 16% of his volume in 2010. Expenses went up as he moved into a new space and invested in a design center. He will hire a part-time marketing manager and production manager in 2012 but projects higher revenue.
Volume: about $500,000
Type of business: full-service design/build, but mostly K&B remodeling
Employees: 3 full-time field employees; 1 part-timer who does newsletters/events/marketing; and 2 in the field
Age of business: 15 years
Marketing: 5% Slabaugh increased his marketing budget from 3.5% in 2009 to 5% in 2010. "Rather than hunker down ... I decided to be more aggressive," Slabaugh says.
He also re-focused the money he spent. Slabaugh, whose business in Stow is 30 miles south of Cleveland, used to advertise in the surrounding 10 cities. Now he markets only in Hudson, a relatively upscale town closer to Stow; he saves on gas and can better service clients.
His best lead sources include Angie's List; local events such as home shows and the Taste of Hudson; a letter and e-newsletter follow-up to the local "Welcome Basket" program for new home buyers; and networking through the Chamber of Commerce.
Leads: 15 per month In 2010 the company had 179 leads and 31 job completions. "We had record years in 2009 and 2010," Slabaugh says. This year he's on pace for fewer but larger jobs than in 2010. Slabaugh doesn't track costs per lead, but attributes the success to his new design center/showroom.
Insurance: 2% In 2009 Slabaugh could finally afford health insurance for his employees. He spent a total of $9,500 for all insurances including auto, liability, and medical. In 2011 that figure is $14,000.
Technology: 1% This money went toward computer updates and software, especially for the design center. He bought an iPad for his own use and plans to buy them for his staff this year. Each employee has a smartphone.
Office: 0.66% In 2010 Slabaugh had a home office and spent about $3,300 on supplies, Internet, phone, postage, etc. For 2011, Slabaugh has been leasing with an option to buy. Although his overhead has risen, Slabaugh says that moving was important for employee morale. "I wanted to make this a more desirable place to work," he says.
What counts as a lead cost? Obviously, the Yellow Pages ad would factor in, but what about sales training or warranty work?
Business consultant and REMODELING contributor Judith Miller defines it as "whatever it costs you to create brand awareness in your community. Everything from ads in the newspaper to seminars you might give to lunches with current and past clients or architects. Contributions to Little League and sports teams; taking someone to a baseball game; the salary of the person who creates your newsletter ... Cost-per-lead is often calculated badly and that can make it worthless."
And what exactly counts as a "lead"? The answer makes a difference. Whether it's everyone who calls or only prospects who schedule a meeting or something else, the key is to be consistent.
Cost-per-lead affects marketing, too. "You should be able to define which marketing elements bring in the most leads," Miller says. "This way you can track your lead sources and know where to spend your money."
Remodeler Trey Strock says that "Knowing what you pay for leads is critical because if you're overpaying, you have to mark up to compensate for wasting money." And, he adds, "You can mark yourself out of being competitive enough to get a job." —Stacey Freed

"Хороший отель рядом с Аэропортом."Отзыв пользователя Hotels.com: 29 дек 2012
Главным достоинством отеля является его близость к Международному аэропорту. От Аэропорта курсирует бесплатный Шатл, который доставил нас в отель. Рядом (5 мин. пешком) круглосуточная ветка метро, что очень удобно, если Вы не планируйте брать машину. До центра Чикаго 40 мин. на метро. Существенный минус: рядом ничего нет! Дойти пешком до ближайшего места "массового скопления точек общепита и прочих радостей жизни не получиться. Либо нужен автомобиль, либо на метро и в центр. Порадовал Wi-Fi скорость хорошая и ловиться устойчиво, в отличие от многих отелей где есть бесплатный Wi-Fi. К обслуживанию никаких претензий к номерам тоже. Ставлю твердую 4. Если бы рядом была какая-нибудь "жизнь" без сомнений поставил бы 5.

"First Stay"
Have visited Chicago many times and stayed in many hotels. This was the first time for the Majestic Hotel. Loved the location on a beautiful tree lined residential street. Convenient for the Steppenwolf Theatre. Close to Lake Michigan. Felt like a European boutique hotel. Small hallways, and we had a small queen bed room. However the amenities were […] good, and the bathroom was roomy. My husband much preferred this hotel to hotels on or near Michigan Ave. ПодробнееОтзыв реального пользователя Hotels.com

Very nice hotel within walking distance to Wrigley Field and many good places to eat. Very friendly and helpful staff. Parking is away from the hotel but no problem as we did not drive during our visit and even if you do drive it is a walk of a few blocks. I recommend this hotel to anyone visiting North Chicago.Отзыв реального пользователя Expedia
"Like living in Chicago"
I have lived in Chicago in the past and I have stayed at hotels just for visiting. The night I stayed at The Majestic felt like when I had previously lived in Chicago. During the day, I was able to spend time in the downtown Chicago area but as it got later it was nice to experience the atmosphere and uniqueness of the smaller community for which The […] Majestic resides. My girlfriend and I went and got food at a near-by restaurant then took a very long walk by lake Michigan. The area was clean and the residents were very friendly. Nearly everyone smiled at us and we felt extremely safe. A few of the things we observed on our walk were, dogs playing in a park, people chatting by the lake, kids playing baseball, an outdoor yoga class, a "bird and butterfly habitat" and joggers and bikers on a path. It seemed like a very open and friendly community. I didn't even spend that much time in the hotel to be honest, just way too much to do and see. There is so much more to Chicago then the downtown area and the location of The Majestic allows the traveler an opportunity to experience the rich and unique culture of Chicago. I am from Detroit and live in the metro Detroit area, you often have to drive several miles and all over the area to get the culture and experience you get in one neighborhood in Chicago.

The location and quietness of the hotel was perfect for my wife and I. The staff was both friendly and helpful. The hotel was close enough for us to walk to most places we wanted to visit.

"Great little place tucked away in Lakeview!"
Perfect location if you're in town for a Cubs game and want to emerse yourself in a great Chicago neighborhood. The in-room honor bar was cheap (12 oz beers for $2) and the room was small but comfortable. Bed was so-so in terms of comfort and and the floors above were really squeeky. Staff was friendly and helpful. Easy and short walks (less than a […] mile) to good food (highly recommend Ann Sathers for breakfast - get the cinnamon rolls!) and fun bars (loved Murphy's Bleachers and Sports Corner for gameday drinks with other sports fans). Only downside is that we couldn't find a way to cross the big road and get to the lake. One of my favorite things about Chicago is walking along the lake and we couldn't do that easily from this location. Will stay here again when we go to town for a Cubs game.

"Perfect for One Night"
For the price, location and parking available it was a perfect spot! The staff even stood out in the rain down the block to send taxis down to the hotel for not only us but 2 other groups waiting to go out for the night. The front desk staff were exceptionally helpful, personable and professional. Namely, Richard. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. […] Thanks Majestic! The name lives up to the service!!

"A Place To Lay Your Head"
The price was right in that I was simply looking for a place to lay my head. The room was clean although perhaps a little dusty. It seems that the room I was in was the "hotels.com" room as I read another review that mentioned they were in the room right next to the elevator (the elevator is pretty much in your room right on the other side of the wall […] from the bed). I didn't hear the elevator as I am a heavy sleeper. Make no mistake though the room was small. ПодробнееОтзыв реального пользователя Hotels.com

Very nice hotel. Will stay here again if we go back to Chicago.Staff is friendly and helpful. Rooms are a bit small, but it gives it a cozy feel. Bathroom is spacious.

A true boutique, authentic and kind. Casual, but formal sensations, echoing an era of intrigue and privacy. Perfect for quiet and calm. Complimentary breakfast was sugary, sufficient, and generous. A great choice, no nonsense.Отзыв реального пользователя Hotels.com
"Decent hotel, but a bit cramped"
It's clear that the Majestic is an older building, so one shouldn't expect fully updated furnishings. The carpeting in our room was quite worn and dirty, however. That detracted a bit from the overall charm. The noise level wasn't too bad, so overall our 2-night stay over a shopping weekend wasn't bad. I had slightly higher hopes though, but I would […] still recommend this hotel. Just keep in mind that it was built during a time when everything was smaller, including the size of the occupants. Bathrooms are small, and the elevator is quite possibly the smallest I've ever been in. If you and your spouse are carrying luggage, plan on multiple trips in the elevator. It's that small.

I have stayed at The Majestic Hotel many times and have always been satisfied. They offer a great complimentary breakfast and the mini prices are the cheapest I have ever found anywhere in the world.Отзыв реального пользователя Hotels.com
"Quiet spot"
The beds were comfortable, and the place was quiet. This isn't a trendy hotel but I liked how calm it was. The rooms were small, but fine if you're not traveling in a big group. Definitely wouldn't recommend the place for kids. The rooms were also really hot, but cracking the window fixed that (at least on a very cold night in November). My room was […] ready before check-in time, which was great because I arrived early. This was very convenient to express bus routes downtown and in a safe neighborhood, but still out of the way enough for those who want to step away from the bustle.

"Convenience is prime"
Received offer of upgrade to suite for $20 at check-in. Did so, and room was large, comfortable and clean.

I had a great stay at the Majestic and will stay there again. The location was good and the room was very clean and comfortable -- definitely no bedbugs which is a major criterion for me!

Convenient walk to Wrigley for a game. The hotel is located on a street in what seemed to be an upscale safe neighborhood.

NBA@2: Milwaukee Bucks Not Finished Dealing?
Posted By Bill Ingram On July 23, 2012 @ 2:00 pm In All,Main Page,NBA | No Comments
The NBA summer league schedule is officially in the books, with all 30 teams having competed in either Orlando or Las Vegas, and each year the league's executives find it to be more and more useful as a way to evaluate the best young talent in the NBA. Milwaukee Bucks general manager John Hammond loves seeing all of the teams, but also sees the benefit of having many of the executives in one place for the purpose of discussing possible transactions.
"The league in general, I think it's a great league and Warren (LeGarie) and the NBA have done a great job over the years of just making it bigger and better," Hammond tells HOOPSWORLD. "That's the greatest thing to me about the league. There's so many of us here and you can get a lot of work done, a lot of business does take place while we're here and from a scouting standpoint, a chance to see so many young players coming into the league or first- or second-year players still playing, so I look at it as a great scouting venue. Someone like myself, I don't go out and get a chance to watch a lot of summer leagues, so to have everyone here, I really appreciate that."
Coming into the offseason, the Bucks had glaring needs in the front court. By acquiring Samuel Dalembert from Houston and drafting John Henson, Hammond believes they have taken significant steps in the right direction.
"First and foremost, we had to get some size. After trading Andrew Bogut, our team changed for the better offensively, but you can't replace what Bogut does on the defensive end of the floor so we struggled there. We were scoring a lot of points but we couldn't get a stop, we couldn't get the need rebounds so at the draft we made a trade and went from 12 to 14 and were able to pick up Sam Dalembert from the Rockets and we think that Samuel can help us with those two factors. He can help us protect the basket and help us in those need rebound times. In the draft we were able to draft John Henson from Carolina, and with his length and being the two-time ACC Defensive Player of the Year and, I think, a guy that's going to have a bright future in this league. Then we picked up Doron Lamb from Kentucky, so at this point that's what we've done and I think we've made ourselves better."
Henson is an interesting player, to be sure, but there are questions about whether or not he can become a great NBA power forward. Hammond admits he doesn't know for sure that Henson will be great, but does believe that his character makes him a pretty good bet.
"Sometimes you go through the draft and there's always going to be a question and I know that with John, there's not a question about the character of the man," Hammond explains. "He's an outstanding person and I think when you start with that basis, that you have a great person and I know the work ethic is there and I just think that someday he can be a high-caliber shot blocker, a high-caliber rebounder in this league. He has a great feel for the game offensively and as he just improves his shooting stroke. I don't want to say the sky's the limit but I think he'll have a very bright future."
Of course, the University of North Carolina pedigree doesn't hurt, either.
"That's a big factor," admits Hammond. "You look at that program and what they've done and the players that they've produced there and as I said, you talk about a guy like that, two-time ACC Defensive Player of the Year, that's pretty good basketball they play in the ACC and that's a good pedigree."
The Bucks have addressed their front court needs to a certain extent, but there are still questions surrounding their lineup. A Monta Ellis and Brandon Jennings backcourt looks an awful lot like the Warriors' duo of Jennings and Steph Curry, and Hammond says the key to a different outcome for Milwaukee is the strength of their front court defense and rebounding.
"We'll see how it goes. Once again, we finished a season without a center. Drew Gooden did a great job for us, playing that position for us and did all that he could do, but Drew will tell you he's a power forward in this league, not a center. He can play some backup center but with that being said, after the trade we still finished 17 and 13 with those guys, with Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis playing together, and that's without much help up front defensively and rebounding-wise. Let us get better defensively, let us get better rebounding the ball, put that backcourt of Brandon and Monta together and I like it. I think we can be very good with it."
The Bucks have already accomplished a great deal in free agency, but Hammond admits he may still have some moves to make.
"I don't know; we're all in the same boat," says Hammond. "We're always looking to try and improve our team, so if there's one more thing to do, or two more things to do, we'll do that."
Milwaukee's summer league team had a good showing in Las Vegas, with Tobias Harris having an MVP-worthy showing, John Henson getting better with each passing game and Doron Lamb having his moments, as well. Whether or not they climb into the East's playoff picture this season, they are clearly a couple of significant pieces closer to doing so.
Rick Adelman Talks Minnesota Timberwolves
When Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Rick Adelman took the reins of the team, it was clear that the Timberwolves' days of mediocrity were over. For a stretch last season they were very much in the playoff picture, and had injuries not bogged them down they just might have made it. Now they're adding pieces and developing young talent, with Wesley Johnson and Derrick Williams turning in some solid performances in summer league play. HOOPSWORLD caught up with Adelman to talk about the development of his young players, what moves the team needs to make before next season, and more in this exclusive interview:
Chicago Bulls To Add Bellinelli?
The Chicago Bulls haven't made any significant changes to the core group that owned the Eastern Conference's best record in 2011-12, but they have been looking at ways to upgrade their second unit. Out are (apparently) Omer Asik, Kyle Korver, John Lucas III, and C.J. Watson, and in their places are (likely) Nazr Mohammed and Vladimir Radmanovic. Now it seems the Bulls have found a replacement for some of the three-point shooting they've lost in the person of Marco Bellinelli.
Bellinelli started 55 games for the hapless New Orleans Hornets last season, averaging 11.8 points per contest on 42% shooting overall and 38% from three. His percentages are a shade below Korver's, but given that Bellinelli will likely have better looks on a healthier Bulls team than he did on the decimated Hornets last season, it's reasonable to call this an upgrade for Chicago.
Also expected to be a big part of the second unit solution this season is second-year forward Jimmy Butler, who was nothing short of sensational in summer league play. Butler played in four of Chicago's five games in Las Vegas, averaging 20.8 points and 6.5 rebounds per game while shooting 50% from three-point range.
The Bulls' second unit is still a bit of a work in progress, but with Bellinelli in place and Butler looking to contribute more, it seems two important questions have been answered.

The Chicago Bulls announced today the team has signed free agent guard Kirk Hinrich. In accordance with team policy, terms of the contract were not announced.
"We are pleased to be able to bring Kirk back to Chicago. His ability to play both spots in the backcourt will help us immensely this season," said Bulls General Manager Gar Forman in a press release. "Kirk's tenacity and passion for the game complement our style of play, and we look forward to seeing him back in a Bulls uniform.
Hinrich (6-4, 190), originally drafted by Chicago in the first round (seventh overall) of the 2003 NBA Draft, played the first seven seasons of his career with the Bulls. After being traded to the Washington Wizards on July 8, 2010, he spent the last two seasons with the Wizards and the Atlanta Hawks. Last year with the Hawks, he played in 48 games (31 starts) and averaged 6.6 ppg, 2.8 apg, 2.1 rpg, 0.80 spg, 25.8 mpg, .414 from the field, .346 from behind the arc and .781 from the line.
"I'm very excited to be back in Chicago and to wear a Bulls uniform once again," said Hinrich. "I look forward to getting back out on the court as a Bull, and contributing to the team in any way I can.
In nine seasons in the NBA, the 31-year old Hinrich has played in 634 games (515 starts) and owns career averages of 12.5 ppg, 5.4 apg, 3.2 rpg, 1.21 spg, 33.0 mpg, .417 from the floor, .378 from behind the three-point line and .811 from the free throw line. He also has played in 46 playoff games (37 starts), where he has averaged 13.4 ppg, 4.7 apg, 2.9 rpg, 1.28 spg, 33.3 mpg, .430 field goal shooting, .404 three-point shooting and .763 free throw shooting.
Hinrich returns to Chicago as the franchise's all-time leader in three-point field goals made (812) and three-point field goals attempted (2,144). He also ranks fourth in assists (3,004), fourth in steals (655), sixth in three-point field goal percentage (.379), eighth in mpg (17,499), eighth in field goal attempts (6,053), 10th in scoring (6,902) and 11th in field goals made (2,510).

I have always worked. In New York State where I grew up, kids were required to get "working papers" which detailed the number of hours/conditions under which they could work at various ages. When I was 13 years old, I stole papers that said I was 16-years-old from the school guidance counselor's office so that I could work more hours.
I stayed in high school until graduation, but left home at a very early age. The real need for money, combined with a bad habit of living hand to mouth, and a tendency to get bored easily; contributed towards my development of a wacky, but interesting job history. In my life I have worked as a: waitress, bartender, cashier, hostess, shampoo girl, dog sled mushing guide, room service server, volcanic ash sculpture salesman, flower farmer, vegetable farmer, farmers market worker, house cleaner, tie dye factory worker, jewelry maker, house painter, landscaper, candle maker and a cook. The job that I took during those years it is still humiliating to remember was planting plastic flowers in a brain damaged old lady's yard (so she could see the flowers but didn't have to take care of them.). The job I think lost me the most brownie points on the karmic scale was when I worked as a "psychic letter writer." (My friends older brother had a scam going in the Penny-savers. People wrote him asking for psychic advice. I responded. I was putting myself through college and really needed the money.)
After graduating from college (It took a long time to pay it off on the psychic letter writer salary) I maintained my ability to be adaptable and adjust to the ebb and flow of the economic tides. I worked as a reporter and editor for many years, but when the newspaper industry began to fizzle out; I switched things up. Over the past decade or so I have also worked as: an English as a Second Language teacher, a creative writing instructor, a tutor, a memory book creator, a fundraiser, a volunteer coordinator, a writer for non-profit organizations and a communications/public relations associate.
I never really felt the need to share this information before, as the non-traditional job track I have been on is not a route one generally should aspire to or lead others towards. However, I was hoping that in this economy somebody might benefit from learning it is not so tough to re-angle your skills, and to recreate yourself to change job tracks (even if only for a brief period.) Though many people have realized it is time to be humble and not to let pride get in the way of taking what is out there; it is helpful to recognize there may be more options available to you then you realize.
Think outside the box. Can you imagine the wildest (legal) think you have ever considered doing for work? Now try and figure out if there are companies out there that may give you a job doing this kind of work.
Think about what skills you developed in all the years you have been working. Write these skills down. Try and identify all the careers out there which you might be able to fit in using these skills. If you developed customer service skills working in your former company, could you perhaps use those skills to work at a call center? Could you use the skills you developed working with machines to train for one of the new jobs in the "green" industry?
Identify your true gifts and talents, things you have always done because they were a good fit and because you loved them. Are you a great baker, woodworker or seamstress? Could you use these skills to start a small business? Could you market this business over the Internet?
Many members of Project ASSIST's Job Club are working towards figuring out what they are good at or want to do and reinventing themselves to train and/or get jobs in new fields. Members exchange creative ideas, and encourage each other to pursue their goals. Staff helps members learn about training and educational programs, jobs, and business opportunities they may not have been aware of. Staff works with Job Club members to develop resumes to use to apply for these jobs and other opportunities.
This free Club meets on Monday mornings from 9-10:30 a.m. at 1700B President Avenue (behind the Newport Creamery). No appointment is necessary. Join us and see if the group can help you see your job prospects from a different perspective. It never hurts to try.

Good answer Miss. Get him in the endzone a few times with more creative ways to get his fire back.
Remember this is game 1 and the interior o-line problem we had last yr was not corrected during the off-season. CJ will get 1,000 yds this yr.....the question is how much more than that?

The Anti-Christ and Anti-God
On the most fundamental level, all the Dracula stories, like so many horror films, are moral allegories depicting the struggle of good against evil, but this particular myth ties itself more directly into the struggle of Christianity against the forces of darkness: Van Helsing says in Badham's film, "If we are defeated, then there is no God." The religious aspects of the story are well-known and frequently a source of great humor for audiences even when filmmakers do not intend them to be funny. Vampires, along with witches and werewolves, were part of the developing folklore in eastern Europe and also Greece that the Christian Church was quick to pick up and exploit in its war against disbelief during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.[9] Vampires were sometimes thought to be creatures unbaptized, excommunicated, buried without a proper religious service, or born on Christmas day (Summers, passim). The ways in which Christian symbols are used as a weapon in the novel and films are easy enough to identify, but I must emphasize how much the very notion and nature of the vampire is shaped to be the reverse of Christ, the symbol of goodness and rebirth. Dracula is a creature of the dark, not the light. Dracula is a creature of the body, a soulless fiend who casts no reflection in the mirror, while Jesus takes us beyond the body and offers us an everlasting life of the spirit. While Jesus was permanently resurrected, the vampire must descend into the tomb every day at sunrise. Jesus offers the promise of everlasting life, while Dracula is a creature of the grave who belongs to the undead and offers a state of perpetual longing and need as a member of the undead. Through the Eucharist, Jesus gives us his blood and flesh in an act of sacrifice and holiness, while the vampire tears at our flesh and takes our blood from us. Therefore all things holy and related to Jesus—the cross, holy wafer, and holy water—are anathema to Dracula. The Christian iconography is played down in both Nosferatu films because of the ineffectuality of religion to stop the onslaught of the plague, while it becomes a chief means of fighting and controlling the vampire in Browning and Fischer's films. Badham's version undermines the religious element when Frank Langella, as the count, reaches out and ignites a wooden cross with his touch, so strong and powerful has he become through his passionate love for Lucy. When Dracula tells Lucy in this film, "You will be flesh of my flesh, blood of my blood," as they commence their ardent lovemaking in one of the most stylized and romanticized interaction of vampire and female in any of these films, we know that the motif is neither Christian nor anti-Christian but Hollywood romance; indeed, Van Helsing even fears toward the end of the film that the two will go off and create more of their kind, suggesting the possibility of a happy and fruitful wedlock. Coppola's film most dramatizes this religious element, at least at the very start of the film, even suggesting that
Dracula's career as a vampire and as the undead is very much involved with his sacrilegious behavior in the church after hearing of his wife's suicide and the church's refusal to bury her in holy ground. "Is this my reward for defending God's church?!" Dracula shouts in Romanian before he goes into a rampage, impaling the cross and drinking bloody holy water from the sacramental communal goblet as the chapel fills with blood from the wounded cross.
As Jesus is made of the substance of the father and son, so is Dracula as much an anti-God as anti-Christ. In the novel, Renfield quotes Dracula as seeming to say to him, "All these lives will I give you, ay, and many more and greater, through countless ages, if you will fall down and worship me!" (285). As Van Helsing states, "[H]e can, within limitations, appear at will when and where and in any of the forms that are to him; he can, within his range, direct the elements: the storm, the fog, the thunder . . ." (243)—a limited God, but God-like nonetheless, he is more than human. Of course no such impression of the vampire figure is possible from either of the Nosferatu films, where he is clearly a figure of death. In Murnau's film, the Renfield character, Krock, may announce, "He is coming. I must go to meet him." But what arrives in Wisborg from the ship is the count carrying his coffin and a host of rats. Budgetary concerns in Browning's, Fisher's, and Franco's films limit the powers of Dracula and make him seem something less than God, though he remains something more than mortal. Although Gary Oldman is a young performer and plays a young Dracula through much of Coppola's film, he gives a striking performance as an older count in the first part, an overpowering, otherworldly figure who dwarfs the inept Harker. But the sense of Dracula's omnipotence and ever-present threat is created in the film largely through Coppola's visual technique and editing, through the shadow of Dracula that falls upon a scene even when he does not seem to be there (a technique anticipated in Murnau's film), through the all-seeing eyes that we view in the sky on the other side of the window of a moving train, through the unnatural crosscutting that seems to distort and finally overcome time and space in order to impose the presence and actions of the count on the characters in England. Though Badham's and especially Coppola's film are able to create a figure more powerful than those in the other films, with greater supernatural abilities, we still remember these figures more for the strength of their human passions than their inhuman powers.

Theres not much left of the engine works there. The crank shaft facility, what I worked in when I was in, when employed, that buildings still there. Its used for something, theres actually, its the Sunderland climbing wall now, they made a climbing wall because the, because the roof was that high, and I think its well used that way for the climbing wall, and Ive been around the ship yard since it closed, but as I say, and the old offices are still there, but I havent, as I say, I didnt do much down the shipyard so I dont really, I cant say I know much about that place.
Well, it was nice to see it again. I was, when it, when it was organised to go around it, I was pleased to go around it and see, just to see what was left, and it brought back the old nostalgia again about having a look at the offices still there, the shop is still there, the entrance to the, the main entrance was still there, we were all going over what was there and what was here, or why it had been knocked down and this, that and the other. It was really very good, actually. It really brought up old memories, you know.

This Day (Lagos)
Abimbola Akosile
The Human Development Report (HDR), 2007/2008 edition, was launched by President Umaru Yar'Adua in Abuja last week. Abimbola Akosile, who was at the Africa regional launch, captures the strident calls for global redress to check an implacable enemy
Solidarity in Division
The urgent message in the Human Development Report (HDR) 2007/2008, which has a theme, 'Fighting climate change: Human solidarity in a divided world', was clear.
The whole world, both developed and developing nations, both those who contributed to the present bleak climate picture, and those who complied with global guidelines on climate; must unite to fight a common enemy that is bent on reducing the world to either a global sheet of water or an endless expanse of arid land.
A Dangerous Report
As part of its yearly contribution to global development, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) commissions an independent Human Development Report (HDR) which sets the stage for debates on some of the most pressing challenges facing humanity.
This year's report dealing with the challenges of climate change is was launched globally in Brasilia, Brazil on November 27 and in Abuja on the same day. Traditionally, one country is selected in each continent to host the regional launch of the report on the same day as it is being launched globally. Nigeria was selected to host the African Regional Launch of the Human Development Report 2007/2008. The UNDP HDR 2007/2008 builds on the recently-released Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Synthesis Report to set out a pathway for climate change negotiations in Bali, Indonesia, and stresses that a narrow 10-year window of opportunity remains to put it into practice.
But the authors argue, with the right reforms, it is not too late to cut greenhouse gas emissions to sustainable levels without sacrificing economic growth: that rising prosperity and climate security are not conflicting objectives. While countries from Asia and Latin America have been able to mobilise both resources and technologies for low carbon energy options, Africa is yet to reap the promised benefits of the Clean Development Mechanism, the report revealed.
For Africa, the 2007 Human Development Report states that the region is already experiencing the early impacts of climate change in the form of frequent and more severe droughts, floods and rainfall variability. In 2007 alone, more than four states in Nigeria experienced serious floods while some experienced mild drought.
The report further illustrated how climate shocks increase vulnerability and reinforce a vicious cycle of poverty. In drought prone areas, a higher number of children were found to be malnourished and stunted. The report shows that in Niger, children aged two years or less are 72% likely to be stunted if they were born during a drought year.
The report confirms that adaptation is both a necessity and a reality, and recommends that climate change adaptation should be integrated into national development plans and be placed at the center of international partnerships on poverty reduction.
It acknowledges that while rich countries are already adapting to climate change by investing significant financial resources to safeguard themselves, poor countries are being left to their own means.
The Human Development Report continues to frame debates on some of the most pressing challenges facing humanity. It is an independent report commissioned by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
Kevin Watkins is the lead author of the 2007/2008 report, which includes special contributions from UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, President Lula da Silva of Brazil and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The report is translated into more than a dozen languages and launched in more than 100 countries annually.
UNDP is the UN's global network to help people meet their development needs and build a better life. It is on the ground in 166 countries, working in partnership with governments, civil society and the private sector to help them build their own solutions to global and national development challenges.
Presidential Concern
The same message was highlighted by President Umaru Yar'Adua and top United Nations (UN) officials, in a bid to underscore the urgency of the matter.
As one analyst aptly put it, we do not have a choice in this matter. Either we like it or not, the effects of climate change are here while other more negative fallout are looming.
Both those who played key roles and who played no role in the current scenario are affected. Everyone has to pay for the sins of before, and at the same time do everything to stop the same painful process from occurring in the future.
Yar'Adua, at the Africa Regional Launch in Abuja, said reduction in greenhouse gases should start immediately to avert global climate disaster, while rich countries must cut emissions drastically.
The same view was echoed by Mr. Gilbert Houngbo, UN Assistant Secretary-General and Regional Director for Africa, UNDP, at a launch which attracted state governors, top government officials at national and state levels, parliamentarians, the international community, academia, media and civil society organisations.
In his keynote address, Yar'Adua commended the choice of Nigeria as the HDR launch host, which in his view will necessitate the position of Nigeria as the vanguard of climate change in Africa; and that this year's theme 'Fighting climate change: Human solidarity in a divided world', is very topical particularly to Africa, in many respects.
He called on world leaders to see climatic change as an urgent matter; which if not addressed will derail Africa's progress towards the MDGs by 2015. According to him, reduction in greenhouse gases should start immediately to avert global climate disaster.
"While the report is advocating a reduction by 30% by 2020 and 80% by 2050 from advanced countries, I think the 30% must be reached before 2015 if they really want Africa to reach the MDGs", he said; while commending the United Nations for providing strong leadership by including climate change on its priority agenda.
Yar'Adua emphatically stated that his administration will not tolerate gas flaring in the Niger Delta beyond 2008, and enjoined his colleagues in other African countries to face the challenge of climate change as a matter of priority by acting 'now'.
UN Intervention
In his speech, Mr. Gilbert Houngbo UNDP Regional Director for Africa gave highlights of the HDR 2007/2008 which brings to the fore the alarming fact that wealthy countries' carbon footprint threatens to stamp out progress in Africa if effective mitigation efforts are not put in place.
The implications for sub-Saharan Africa, where nearly 550 million people reside, and other for other developing regions of the world will be a reversal in advances in the areas of health, education and poverty-reduction.
"For Africa, the double mitigation challenge is the need for energy security and energy access by finding ways to attract enough direct investment to meet the growing energy demand and to drive investments towards lower carbon technologies," said Houngbo.
He said there is now very little argument about whether global climate change is having an impact on countries' economic, social and environmental systems; and that it is rather the size of the impacts and their implications which remain uncertain.
"Alongside these uncertainties, the developing world faces far greater challenges than industrialised countries both in terms of impacts and the capacity to respond", he said.
Houngbo called on Nigeria and South Africa to serve as vanguards for the African continent, in particular, to explore opportunities for promoting the transfer of low carbon technologies through CDM; and urged all stakeholders to work together for the establishment of a post Kyoto regime that reflects the needs and development aspirations of the African continent.
In a related development, the UNDP Resident Representative, Dr. Alberic Kacou, said the Global Human Development Report has progressively monitored human progress for about seventeen years across all regions of the world, first as an analytical tool shaping the global debates and discussions on sustainable human development.
To him, the report clearly points out that countries that emit the largest volume of greenhouse gases are paying marginal prices for doing so while developing countries that contribute the least are most vulnerable to the impact of global warming and have the least capacity to cope and adapt to mitigating technologies.
The implications of climate change take many forms but for Africa it has serious negative impact on agricultural productivity, access to water, human displacement and public health, Kacou said.

Actually $2000 per node is the total cost (NIC/cable/port/software) for the high-end products (with L9/200 MHz), should be more like $1500 for low-end ones. Craig is spoiled, only buys the top stuff :-) > What about the switches > needed. AFAIK Quadrics and Myrinet both need switches, SCI don't (which > makes the total system cost a bit lower doesn't it ?). Dunno for QSW, but the NIC represent roughly 3/4 of the price per node for Myrinet. Sure, as the smallest switch has 8 ports (16 ports chassis and one blade with 8 fibers), It is not interesting for very small configurations, i.e less than 8 nodes, but I don't think it's Myricom's market. It's a common mistake to believe that switchless solutions are by definition cheaper.

Movie: Including Samuel
Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 01/22/2013 - 8:00pmBefore his son Samuel was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, photojournalist Dan Habib rarely thought about the inclusion of people with disabilities. Now he thinks about inclusion every day. Shot and produced over four years, Habib's award-winning documentary film, Including Samuel, chronicles the Habib family's efforts to include Samuel in every facet of their lives. The film honestly portrays his family's hopes and struggles as well as the experiences of four other individuals with disabilities and their families. Including Samuel is a highly personal, passionately photographed film that captures the cultural and systemic barriers to inclusion.

The end of AA will be the beginning of scaling/filtering/postprocessing. We'll see an brief technology arms race as GPU designers do their best to make old assets look good on new hi-ppi displays (like the fake 2.5D on 3D television tech race). It might be a fun time, it might be a horrible time.
We'll likely see resolutions stabilize at 2k and 4k, followed by exponential increases in scene complexity as outward scaling GPUs and CPUs begin to share memory.
After that, it's probably going to paradigm shift towards LF rendering, or voxels/rays, or some other emergent fringe tech. I've seen a number of compelling LF expositions out of Stanford and MIT in the past few years. Neat stuff.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Your Daily Dispatch of Celebrity Shenanigans
Vampires, Web-Slingers & Heartthrobs: Producer Kevin Turen married Evelina Oboza this weekend and a slew of Hollywood's hottest young stars turned up to the New Jersey ceremony to help the couple celebrate. According to People, the guests included Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Zac Efron and Andrew Garfield. The "Twilight" couple was reportedly inseparable during the celebration. "They stuck to each other's side all night," a source told the mag. Kristen reportedly forgot her dress and had to borrow something from the groom's sister – a navy Zac Posen cocktail dress – which she ditched later for her jeans, tank top and blazer. Zac, who attended the wedding solo, was seen dancing the Hora (a traditional Jewish dance) and Robert even got behind the DJ's laptop and spun (or pressed play) on a couple of tracks.
Robert Wasn't The Only New DJ This Weekend: Which former reality star made DJ Deadmau5 Tweet, " its over… to be fair… the mayans saw this sh*t coming," after she performed her first DJ set in San Paula Brazil this weekend. Check out the star doing her thing on the 1's and 2's, HERE!

MEMPHIS, MO -- Meet 17-year-old Sarah Sites of Memphis. Agriculture has been a big part of her life since she was born due to her parents' strong background in agriculture. But it was her older siblings who inspired her to raise and show cattle and hogs since she was only 8. Today she considers her farm animals a part of her family.
"They are like my life because if I came home to no animals, I wouldn't know what to do. You can come up here and talk to them and they brighten up your day. It's something I love," Sites said.
Sarah is the President of the Memphis FFA and is a member of the Azen Jolly Timers 4-H group. She has competed and shown her cows and pigs at the Scotland County, NEMO and Putnam County Fairs and has won Grand Champion and First Place on various occasions. Behind all that recognition there is a lot hard work and responsibility for Sarah.
"I get up every morning at 7 and I'm out choiring by 7:30. I give a half a bucket to my steers and check on my pigs. I make sure the water is ok and clean. Making sure they got hay," Sites said.
Over the years, Sarah has also been able to share as well some funny moments with her animals.
"It teaches you. It makes you grow up. It teaches you about animals and how to treat them," Sites said.
Sarah said she is proud to be a farm girl and plans to keep agriculture in her life.
When not on the farm, Sarah does wood projects and is on the track team at school. She plans to go to college to study Ag education and become an Ag teacher.
Congratulations Sarah on being this week's Ag Kid.

CASWELL MEMORIAL SP, CADescriptionSeason for Peak Fees: 05/15 to 09/15Caswell Memorial State Park is a small, wild refuge in the midst of the Great Central Valley of California. This unique park protects one of the last remaining oak-riparian woodlands that once flourished throughout the valley. The Native Americans who lived along this river and collected acorns among these ancient groves were Yokuts. In the early 1800s, Spanish explorers traversed this area, and fur trappers found the river bountiful. Thomas Caswell, landowner, enjoyed this wonderful forest and felt it should be preserved. In 1950 his children and grand children donated 134 acres to the people of California. Additional donations and state purchases brought Caswell to its current size of 258 acres. Caswell Memorial State Park was open to the public in 1958. Services & Amenities:
