Mountain Dew Looks Beyond White Suburbia
By Kevin Spak, Newser Staff
Mountain Dew doesn't just want to be the soda of choice for young white suburbanites anymore.
Mountain Dew is the nation's best-selling non-cola soft drink, but its popularity is concentrated in the suburbs of the Plains and Southeast. About 80% of its consumers are white, which is a problem, because Caucasians represent a shrinking market segment.
"It's been a matter of messaging," Dew's president of marketing tells Bloomberg. "We haven't really talked to this differentiated, emerging teen base as much as we have that heartland consumer."
--Written by Kevin Spak of Newser

Recently, I stumbled upon a bodega called City Market Cafe on 5th Avenue near 23rd Street. Truthfully, I thought I had found my new go-to breakfast spot. I ordered a one egg and cheese sandwich on a roll. At only $1.75 plus .50 cents for cheese, it was a steal! Add on $1.95 for a small iced coffee, and I was styling at under $5 bucks for breakfast. However, when I went up to the register, the cashier rang my sandwich up for $2.45. --.20 cents more than it was listed on the menu. Oh well, it was .20 cents, whatever, I was getting a great deal anyway so I went on with my day. I returned again the following morning for another breakfast sandwich. I did notice the menu had two prices for egg sandwiches listed as one egg for $1.75 and two eggs for $1.95. I thought to myself, "Oh the lady must have assumed I had a two egg sandwich." Followed by, "Wait, why did she automatically charge me for 2 eggs instead of asking if I had one?" Again, it seemed wrong but I overlooked it.
Now, let me make this clear, I am not one to pinch pennies. In fact, I'm the one rolling my eyes behind the person at checkout arguing and holding up the line over saving .10 cents with a coupon. I do, however, have a problem when people are unethical. It's the principle of the matter. And this seems to be an on-going problem at many bodegas I've visited over my 2 years as a resident of NYC.
So back to the story. This time I order an egg sandwich (did not specify how many eggs this time) with turkey bacon and American cheese. On the menu it's listed as $2.75 including bacon and egg. Tacking on .50 cents for cheese as listed, my sandwich should ring up as $3.25. I get to the counter and I let her know I have an egg, turkey bacon, and cheese sandwich. First she rings it up as $4.00, and then tacks on another .50 cents. This is just obviously wrong, so this time I say something. "It's listed up there as $2.75 plus .50 cents for cheese." I argue. She then proceeds to yell back towards the counter, "Is a egg and bacon listed as $2.75?" Someone yells something back I can't understand. "Yea but you got cheese." she says. "I know but that would bring it to $3.25 then." I retort. She pauses,"Well the turkey bacon is another .50 cents." Mind, you the $2.75 price on the menu is inclusive of egg and bacon, it does not state an additional charge on the type of bacon. Even with the additional .50 cent turkey bacon charge, my sandwich should still be $3.75 not $4.50. At this point, there's someone waiting behind me so I just pay the extra .75 and leave, wondering how many people they do this to who don't even notice? I'm one of those people who used to not notice until I was consistently charged more than expected at numerous bodegas/cafes. Mind you, these are mostly small charges that one may not notice. It's done in a sneaky way, like in the movie Entrapment, where the villains are plotting to hack in and steal just a few cents (that people likely wouldn't notice) out of millions of bank accounts to gain huge profits.
This incident was just one of many. Other obnoxious bodega rip-offs of the past have included being charged .50 cents for crappy shredded iceburg lettuce on a sandwich (something normally included) and $2.75 for a mini bag of animal crackers that had no price tag. I returned to that deli a few days later to find the same animal crackers with a $1.25 price tag. Another bodega on 8th Avenue and 16th Street has charged me a range of prices for the same turkey sandwich. Sometimes they charge me $5, other times $5.50 or $5.75 even though I order the same exact sandwich every time. I stopped going there. I don't have time to argue over small charges, as I'm sure most of us don't. That is the problem. We're too busy to notice or care. But what they're doing is completely unethical and there should be some sort of regulation, like making sure all items are clearly priced and extra charges are listed on the menus. Hell, I'm fine paying an extra .50 cents or .75 cents, but just be honest about it. There's no better way of alienating customers than pulling a fast one on them. And to bodega owners, you should be more mindful. You never know if the person you're ripping off is a blogger who will write a big fat article and reveal your shady ways.
Just a thought.
There's a reason we love Starbucks and McDonald's --at least we know what we're getting and being charged.

Paranoia is a sequence of eight semi-improvised blocks that were extracted from the sketches to Act III of the music theatre work Der Alte vom Berge and developed further. Three text groups are used:
– "Justifications", a cut-up from Internet researches on paranoia as a political function. – The "CIA Protocols Of Political Assassination", a collection of various strategies for political murders. – The contents page of the American magazine "Paranoia".
The improvisations are based on scratched loops and "damage beats", which make reference to the turntable art of Phil Jeck and the films of Martin Arnold as well as to my series of compositions Differenz/Wiederholung. Both parts lie above the loop scenario as contrapuntal rap poetry. The work was inspired by the book Conspiracy Nation: The Politics Of Paranoia In Postwar America (ed. Peter Knight): paranoia as a new feeling in our lives, paranoia as a political instrument. ELLIOTT SHARP ON "RIPPLES FROM THE BANG".
Ripples from the Bang is a set of reflexions on causality. The perception we each have of a chain of events remains extremely personal and varies greatly, sometimes being dependent on factors beyond our individual vision. These events may be a personal journey, a state of war, or a cataclysm of cosmic scale. The score that allows the musicians to surf the sonic fall-out produced by the big bang includes through-composed parts, algorithmic strategies, graphic performance directions, pre-prepared electronic sound files, and improvisations.

Taite wrote:shati makes an amazing point that I think people literally forget when color correcting. Skin tone is the most important thing to pay attention to. Always try to preserve the fleshy tones of skin. Even if you're using a blue color for correcting, you can get away with having a very light blue tone to the skin, and really, you can experiment with this and create different moods, there's no right and wrong. You can achieve a "dreamy" affect with some glow and blue, etc. It's all open for interpretation. But cranking up the saturation, using gradients, or adding a very saturated color at all, I advise being careful because it erases the fleshy tones and then it's so obviously color corrected, but in a bad way. Obviously there's exceptions to this-- it all depends on what effect you want. But this is just something to take special note of.
This this this.
Color correction can work wonders for the mood in a video. As far as the technical aspect of doing this, you want to use something that lets you have control over highlights, mids, and lows, and the RGB for each of those. I forget the name of the one in AE (though I use it all the time >____>) I only use the hue/sat adjustment to desaturate so I can go back in and make adjustments over top of that.
As far as what the colors MEAN, check out color theory and color psychology. Really cool for helping to subliminally influence your audience. Everyone likes to throw grunge on things, desaturate things, and just go nuts with it... "oh hey, instant horror video!" But...
-warm colors, that can literally convey the psychological feeling of warmth, are yellows, oranges, reds
-cool colors, blues, purples, etc, are the opposite
-consider that bright almost unnatural greens and yellows are sickly...poisinous, noxious (just look at poison dart frogs)
-reds and oranges can induce appetite (next time you're at a restaurant, pay attention to the menu layout & colors)
-medium blues make you sleepy (well, at least in theory) and have a calming effect
-the same is true for a medium pink surprisingly
-purple is unsettling as it is not found in nature very often, it is the color of royalty, of rarity (also not surprisingly used as a color for supernatural forces in anime)
You can also work with colors that clash to make your audience feel uneasy. This is the only time I'd recommend using gradients, because you can really wreck a piece of footage Use very contrasty colors to give the effect of "vibration."
Check out Josef Albers, he was an artist that worked in this kinda stuff. (just google image search his name, notice how some of the images might be unsettling, and some seem to shift as you look at them, or even can make some people sick)
So....for example, alternating shots back and forth that are graded with two of these clashing colors will make your audience very uneasy. And it can be subtle, that's what's great about color grading and color psychology. It's like a secret weapon for influencing emotion.

Thank You Republicans!!!
For once we agree. Thank the Republicans for putting a halt to tax and spend Obama. Thank Republicans for having the backbone to force fiscal responsibility.
It is unfortunate that President Obama's desire for spending what we don't have will force all these workers into a bad situation, but he doesn't really care about them. He'd prefer they all go on welfare anyway.
Thank you Republicans for putting a stop to Obama's outrageous spending.
ON the upside, Obama had enough money for a second vacation in the last two months.

6 volt to 12 volt conversion
After being faced with the challenges of locating another 6 volt battery, finding charger, etc,etc,etc for my 37 Hudson, I have had it with 6 volt and have decided to convert to 12 volt.
Does anyone have a link to a good source of info on doing this or suggestions from ones own experiences.
Brian -
Before you embark on this quest, are you sure you are at a dead end on 6v batteries and chargers? I'm fairly sure there are four or five brands of good 6 volt batteries out there. I've been using the DEKA brand with fairly good results for several years, and was always able to get a new one in a few days through my local auto electric shop. As to chargers, I have found the 6-12 volt trickle chargers at local car parts places with no problem.
If you want to go ahead with a 12 volt conversion there are a number of people who will supply you with the correct information, I know. But it's going to take you a bit of time to do. -
I have been buying 6volt batteries at NAPA they stock about 3 sizes . And the Harbor Frieght stores have 6-12 volt chargers,
RogerRetired Tech. -
I got my Interstate 6V from the local Interstate "Direct To You" retail counter at their local warehouse. Use Google to see if the have one near you.
The last one I had from Tractor Supply did not last the winter of just sitting. I will use a trickle charger every so often this year. -
Park W did a very comprehensive guide to the conversion, and it was on Dave Sollon's site- but Dave took the site down, so don't know if its available on the web anymore. Park will probably check in soon, and let you know.
As far a 6 volt batteries, I've never had a problem finding them- as someone else said, NAPA has them on the shelf. -
Back, briefly, to the 6-volt battery availability. Here is a 6-volt in the Group 2 size, with a 40-month warranty and 780 cold cranking amp rating (not bad) listing for about $99, at Tractor Supply. http://www.tscstores.com/6-volt-Group-2-780-CCA-40-month-wty-P5603.aspx That's about the same price as the DEKA batteries I have been using. Optima batteries are quite nice, but a lot more money.
By the way, as to battery physical dimensions:
Group 1 = 9" x 6-7/8", and 8-3/4" high.
Group 2 = 10-3/8" x 6-7/8" and 8-3/4" high.
There is nothing wrong with switching your car to 12 volts (if you don't mind the labor involved), but don't do this just because you can't seem to find 6-volt batteries -- because they are indeed out there! -
It's been a little frustrating since I havent played with my old 37 Hudsons for over 6 years and now that I am trying to get going again, everything is giving me problems. (The battery, starter, fuel lines, etc.)
I drained the gas tank, put in fresh fuel and a new inline filter before the pump at the engine and even filled the glass bowl with fuel. When I installed the new inline filter, I didnt get a drop of gas out of the line during the exchange of filter, even though I had been trying to start it for a few days. Thus I am thinking my fuel pump may not be pulling or I have a block in the line I replaced 8-9 years ago. Not sure because my battery keeps running down after 3-4 attempts at starting it. UGH! I bought the interstate battery about 5 months ago when I was selling an old truck, so I took it to the local Interstate distributor and they told me it was 17 months old and wouldnt be able to credit me toward a replacement because its 17 months old!
Well, I guess that is one of the reasons I would like to be done with 6volt. I would rather be able to just run over to Sams or Costco and grab a battery when I need one vs searching, etc. The other reason I was thinking of upgrading was because I want to do some "performance upgrades" and I would like to have the extra ignition power from the 12 volt, plus better lighting, starting, adding a radio, tach, etc. Lastly, since the wiring may need to be replaced as its original, I may as well bring it all together in a modern 12 volt system, I can drive and enjoy and when a breakage occurs, find replacements easier. -
Sounds like your fuel has set up in the old fuel pump. Not much you can do but replace it or go get a 6 volt electric one to get you going for now. Most part stors carry universal 6 volt impulse type pumps ,less than $50.00,
RogerRetired Tech. -
Who sells replacement fuel pumps?
Mr. Cooper has them I know ,and there are others Im sure ,you can buy the kit for about $45.00 . Dont recall the company but you see them in all the car books ,
RogerRetired Tech.

Vanilla Oolong
Discover the power of vanilla and oolong, with a little hint of orange. It's temptingly rich. We've used Pouchong tea leaves, the least oxidized of oolongs. Which means that it's almost as high in antioxidants as green tea. A lucky thing, because this tea is really quite addictive. Who would have thought that something this smooth and creamy could be so healthy?
Ingredients: Taiwanese pouchong oolong tea, green tea, lemon myrtle, marigolds.

NBA AM: Atlanta Hawks Gearing Up For Busy Summer
Posted By Lang Greene On June 27, 2012 @ 8:31 am In All,Main Page,NBA | No Comments
Hawks' Larry Drew Talks Draft, Free Agency And Trades: For the past five summers the questions surrounding the Atlanta Hawks have remained generally the same in nature. How long will ownership roll the dice on the core trio of Joe Johnson, Al Horford and Josh Smith? Will this be the season the Hawks finally breakthrough and advance past the second round of the playoffs? Is it time for the team to blow up the roster and start anew? Etc.
Earlier this week the team took a proactive step by hiring league veteran Danny Ferry as their president of basketball operations and general manager. Ferry, a former player, served as general manager of the Cleveland Cavaliers from 2005-2010 attempting to construct a title winning team around three-time MVP LeBron James and for the past two years served as a vice president within the San Antonio Spurs organization.
Although Hawks' head coach Larry Drew, entering the final season of his own contract, hasn't had much time to interact with Ferry since his arrival in Atlanta he believes they are both united in elevating the team into the ranks of the league's elite.
"Having the success he's had first with Cleveland and then with San Antonio, we're [both] looking to get over the hump," Drew said of Ferry's hire and the similarities of their focus. "We've been a team that's been knocking on the door and I think we share the common goal as far as getting over the hump. We want to get to that next level and that's going to be our focus."
Ferry was very active during his stint in Cleveland's front office acquiring All-Stars such as Shaquille O'Neal, Mo Williams, Ben Wallace and Antawn Jamison. Ferry was also a risk taker in free agency notably luring shooting guard Larry Hughes away from Washington in a deal which ultimately didn't pan out as originally designed.
Drew believes that Ferry's tenure in Atlanta won't be any different from an activity standpoint and expects the team to be very active in free agency and entertaining trade offers from around the league.
"I'm sure once all of this draft stuff is over with we'll sit down and we'll start talking about personnel," Drew said. "We'll talk about free agents and possible trades to make us better."
The Hawks have only six players under contract for the 2013 season and $61 million in salary commitments, which will put the team over the expected cap. This means the Hawks will have roughly $9 million to spend filling the remaining roster slots if they wish to avoid the luxury tax.
One of the pressing issues the team must address is the future of forward Josh Smith who is coming of a career season, but also reportedly has a standing trade demand in effect. Smith is entering the final year of his deal and potentially losing his talent in free agency next summer for nothing in return will likely force the club to at least listen to trade offers if they can't get him to sign an early extension.
The team's unfavorable position to the cap has also magnified the importance of selecting a player who's ready to contribute in the nightly rotation from day one. The team owns the No. 23 pick of the first round. The only remaining Hawks draft pick since 2009 still on the roster is point guard Jeff Teague.
Drew makes it clear he's not looking for a developmental project at No. 23, but a guy who can come in and produce immediately.
"That's an understatement," Drew said when asked if he's looking for rotation player in the draft. "When you go into a summer, come July 1, we'll only have six players under contract. So we have some holes we have to fill. We have to analyze what we have and we have to look at the personnel where we'll need the most help from."
With only six players currently under contract the Hawks have depth needs at point guard, small forward and center. With so many holes to fill Drew says the team isn't looking to draft for a specific position, but will take the best available talent on their big board.
"At [pick] twenty three it will probably be the best player available unless somebody slides," Drew said. "We have targeted some names that we hope will be there and the probability they're not and then certainly we'll just have to move to the next guy. In most cases it will be best player at that time."
A few of the prospects who could be on the board at No. 23 include Syracuse's Fab Melo, Vanderbilt's John Jenkins and Jeff Taylor, Iowa State's Royce White, Mississippi State's Arnett Moultrie and Memphis' Will Barton.
The Hawks have reached the playoffs the past five seasons, but have yet to advance past the second round during this time period. Rick Sund, the team's previous EVP and general manager, will remain with the team in a consulting role through the end of July in order to help Ferry transition into the new role.
Sund maintains he has no plans to officially retire and will entertain any front office job opportunities as they are presented in the future.
Clippers Interested In Lamar Odom: According to a report by ESPN's Marc Stein, the Los Angeles Clippers have started to engage in trade discussions with the Dallas Mavericks for embattled forward Lamar Odom which would also involve former All-Star guard Mo Williams.
However with Dallas expected to be in hot pursuit of point guard Deron Williams this summer any potential deal would likely need a third team involved to take on (Mo) Williams' contract so the Mavs could maintain its financial flexibility in free agency.
The Mavericks currently have until Friday to buy out Odom's deal for $2.4 million and in the meantime Odom's agent Jeff Schwartz has been actively looking to find a landing spot for his client.
According to the report, the Los Angeles Lakers may emerge as the third team in a proposed Clippers and Mavericks deal, with the Lakers owning a trade exception large enough to absorb Williams' $8.5 million owed for 2013. The Lakers may be in the market for backcourt help since their point guard at the end of last season, Ramon Sessions, has decided to opt out the final year of his deal and test free agency
Odom played in 50 games for the Mavericks in 2012 suffering through the worst season of his thirteen year career and routinely clashing with team officials in Dallas.
Odom was draft by the Clippers in 1999 and played with the team until 2003. He also won two championships with the Lakers (2009 and 2010).
Focused Carmelo Anthony Sees Title In Knicks' Future: After nine seasons, All-Star forward Carmelo Anthony remains the only player selected in the top five of the 2003 draft who has yet to win a NBA title.
Fueled by a disappointing first round elimination at the hands of the eventual champion Miami HEAT this season, New York Knicks head coach Mike Woodson suggested to Anthony that he lose some weight in preparation for 2013.
Anthony heeded the advice and has subsequently lost twelve pounds working out in Los Angeles and is now down to 239 pounds which surprised Woodson on a recent trip out to the west coast.
"They were kind of shocked to see me down in weight," Anthony told Howard Beck of The New York Times on Woodson's reaction to his conditioning. "They came to my workout, saw it. They're actually excited how much hard work I've put in since the season ended."
In two postseason trips with the Knicks, Anthony's season has ended in the first round. But the nine year veteran believes the Knicks will be hoisting championship hardware soon – possibly within the next two years.
"I believe my time is coming," Anthony said. "Whether this year or next year, I truly believe our time is coming. We're going to keep playing for that."

Judge overturns Maricopa County zoning ban on dispensaries
WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Oct. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Medbox, Inc. (OTC Markets: MDBX) (www.medboxinc.com), a leader in providing industry specific consulting services and patented systems to the medical and retail industries, responded to a landmark ruling issued by an Arizona state court yesterday that sent positive reinforcement throughout the medical marijuana industry in Arizona.
As reported by the Associated Press today, A judge has overturned Maricopa County's zoning ordinance for medical marijuana dispensaries, ruling that the 2011 local law was a "transparent attempt" to keep the businesses out of county areas outside incorporated cities and towns.
Superior Court Judge Michael Gordon said the county wrote the zoning ordinance so that it wouldn't allow dispensaries to be established because marijuana remains illegal under federal law.
"This court will not rule that Arizona, having sided with the ever-growing minority of states and having limited it to medical use, has violated public policy," Judge Michael Gordon of Maricopa County Superior Court wrote.
Company CEO, Dr. Bruce Bedrick commented, "The decision paves the way for some of our clients that were granted licenses by the state but were prevented from erecting a dispensary by the county. We are extremely happy for our clients."
Medbox played a key role during the Arizona dispensary lottery system and helped its consulting clients obtain 20 of the 97 total licenses granted by the Arizona Department of Health Services. The 2-year process was fraught with legal challenges and pitfalls that Medbox properly navigated on behalf of its clients. This ruling directly affects Medbox and its clients since 7 of the 20 approved licenses were in Maricopa County zones. Thus, Medbox will now be able to complete those contracts and receive additional revenue from its clients as a result.

I have string like this "24:00:00" and I would like to convert it to time. I tried convert and DateTime.Parse but it seems like it needs a date too. Is there a way to just get time, or do I have to put in a date as well?

If you are only interested in the time component, consider using

I am not sure "24:00:00" is going to be a valid time. Any how, you should not need to specify the date, you can do...
If your time is actually a time of the day, then I would suggest sticking with DateTime. If you are actually using an amount of time (i.e. can be more that 23:59:59) then you could use TimeSpan...

NBA@2: Cavaliers Killing Dwight Howard Trade?
Posted By Bill Ingram On July 9, 2012 @ 2:03 pm In All,Main Page,NBA | No Comments
It seemed a little strange, didn't it?
As the Orlando Magic and Brooklyn Nets looked for a third team to help facilitate a trade for Dwight Howard, it seemed like one of the least likely teams to do the honors would be the Cleveland Cavaliers, whose owner, Dan Gilbert, has been among the most vocal opponents to the super-team model.
Why would Gilbert help another one form in Brooklyn?
According to a number of reports, the Cavaliers will not be helping the trade that would have sent Howard to Brooklyn to join a growing list of All-Stars as the Nets look to make their debut in a new city one to remember. The deal was contingent upon the Cavs taking on Kris Humphries, who would reportedly have been re-signed to a one-year deal worth nine million dollars. Instead, Humphries camp is reportedly asking for a four-year deal, and that's something the Cavaliers are less willing to do.
Cleveland also doesn't want to commit to Humphries the kind of deal he's said to be seeking, meaning additional pieces would have to be added to the already-complicated three-team deal in order for it to work for Cleveland.
It seems that while there has been a lot of chatter this morning, a Dwight Howard trade is not quite as close as some believe. A number of league sources have chimed in, saying they believe the Nets will land Dwight before Wednesday's moratorium on player movement ends, it doesn't sound like the current iteration of the deal is the one that gets it done.
It would certainly be surprising to see Dan Gilbert's team help another NBA super team take shape.
UPDATE: Yahoo! is reporting this updated trade proposal between the Magic, Cavaliers and Nets:
In the proposed deal, Howard, Jason Richardson and Earl Clark would be sent to Brooklyn, and the Magic would receive the Nets' Brook Lopez, Damion James, Sheldon Williams, Cleveland's Luke Walton and three future first-round picks, sources said. Cleveland would receive Orlando's Quentin Richardson, Brooklyn's Sundiata Gaines, Kris Humphries (on a one-year guaranteed deal), a first-round pick and $3 million from the Nets. Brooklyn also would send Brooks to a fourth team to get them an additional first-round pick to send to the Magic.
Meanwhile, the Nets continue to treat a Howard trade as something that would be nice, but not something that makes or breaks their long-term plan. If they simply re-sign and keep Brook Lopez they feel very good about their chances going forward.
Great Situation For Aaron Brooks
When Aaron Brooks left the Houston Rockets it was not under the best of circumstances. An injury had opened the door for Kyle Lowry to steal Brooks' starting spot, and his displeasure over that fact helped the Rockets decide to trade him to the Phoenix Suns in a deal that landed Goran Dragic in Houston.
Brooks was still not quite healthy in Phoenix, and had not secured himself a spot with the Suns by the time last season ended. The NBA lockout saw Brooks land a guaranteed spot in China, and by the time his Chinese team's season ended the Suns had moved on.
Now Brooks is a free agent, and the thinking is that he might actually land back in Houston, where he met with the Rockets over the weekend. Since Brooks left Houston things have changed significantly, with Lowry now preparing to be a Toronto Raptor and Dragic back in Phoenix. The Rockets need a starter, and with expectations at the lowest they have been for years, Brooks could have free rein to run and gun to his heart's content as Houston's starting point guard next season.
That might just be the perfect situation for Brooks, too, as he has never been much of a defender and prefers to be the scoring guard he was at Oregon than a more traditional setup man. Kevin McHale's movement-based offense would give Brooks plenty of opportunities to score, and with a youth movement shaping up in the front court, setting up teammates may not be as much of an issue as it was when Yao Ming was in the post.
There has been no decision in Houston or from Brooks' camp about his immediate future, but if Brooks returns to Houston he may find that this time around he has a much greater opportunity to shine that he did in his first run with the Rockets.
The Situation In Atlanta
Rashard Lewis is one of the bigger names left in free agency, thanks in large part to the New Orleans Hornets' decision to pay him to walk away via buyout. Lewis is now in a position to look for the best situation for himself without regard for the short-term financial repercussions. The Miami HEAT are hoping to lure Lewis to South Beach, where former Lewis teammate Ray Allen is taking part in the recruitment effort, but adding Lewis to the defending championship squad appears to be anything but a foregone conclusion, though some media outlets are tweeting that the HEAT are confident he'll join the team.
After meeting with the HEAT on Sunday, Lewis has now moved on to meeting with other teams, starting with the Atlanta Hawks, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The Hawks are looking for complementary talent now that Joe Johnson and Marvin Williams are gone, and Lewis would seem to be the perfect fit at small forward. The team is also talking to Jannero Pargo and agent Mark Bartelstein about a possible return to Atlanta, where Pargo could fill the void left by Kirk Hinrich's departure.
New Hawks GM Danny Ferry also met with free agent forward Anthony Randolph over the weekend.
One of the underlying end games for Ferry here is to convince Josh Smith that his new long-term vision for the team is something that Smith will want to be a part of. Smith, of course, has been vocal about his desire to be traded, though that was based partially on the Hawks' failure to improve enough to make a serious championship run.
Ferry said his initial meeting with Josh Smith went well, but the onus is still on the Hawks to convince him not to walk away at the end of next season. That process is really just beginning.

PANAMA CITY, Fla. (AP) — A gunman was shot to death by a security guard at a school board meeting Tuesday after he walked up to a podium, spray painted a red "V'' with a circle around it and began firing, a school official said.
Bay District spokeswoman Karen Tucker said former police officer Mike Jones, the head of the school district's security, shot the gunman as he confronted board members. Jones is also a former board member, she said.
There were no other injuries. The gunman's name has not been released.
"The guy obviously had a death wish," Tucker said.
Reporter Daniel Carson of the Panama City News Herald told his paper that he had noticed the man during the meeting and he didn't appear agitated.
Walters said the man pulled out a can of spray paint and drew a red circle on the wall with a mark through it. Carson and other witnesses described it as the letter "V." The man then pulled out what looked like a pistol.
"What are you doing?" someone asked, Walters recalled. "What's going on?"
The gunman told everyone to leave "except these clowns behind the counter here," referring to the school board members, Walters said.
Carson told his paper that school board member Ginger Littleton hit the gunman with her purse and he appeared to push her to the ground. He then started firing randomly and many of the spectators fled.
Walters left the room but stayed behind one of the doors. He called 911 and was peeking inside.
The gunman was in a heated discussion with the school board members, Walters said.
"I overhead some discussion about his wife needing a job," Walters said. "Or his wife had lost her job or wanting a job or something like that."
Walters heard one member say, "I'll get your wife a job or I'll see if I can't find her a job somewhere."
Carson said he also spied through the door. When he closed it, Carson said he heard two shots. He went back inside and it appeared Jones, the security guard, had entered through another door and shot the gunman in the head. He said Jones was comforted by his colleagues and led away.
"He is a hero," said Tommye Lou Richardson, the school district's personnel director, who was also at the meeting.

FYI: On my Folding PC, when running a 766# WU, the FahCore_17.exe process runs at 50% CPU usage. That is Rig 3: P-45, E8400 @ 3.6 GHz, Corsair PC-6400, 2 X GTX 460. You're not alone.
Yep, dual core cpu would show 50% usage, as one core is used by Core_17. I see you have 2x GTX460's on that rig. Are both GPU's running Core_17? Man, I really miss my old E8400...
When I view the "Performance" tab in the Taskmaster, it bears out the truth of your statement. This only happens with 766# WU's. And you're right about the E8400. Easily overclocked, it was one of the best cheap 775 chips. Alas, the local MicroCenter store closed, so no more bargain Intel chips. (I used to be able to get them $50-$80 off list if I only bought one and picked it up at the store.)
So is anyone running SLI Folding on a daily user? The unresponsiveness that I mentioned actually messes up the system clock! To get out of it, to pause one of the Folding slots, can take 30-45 minutes because of the time that it takes for the system to respond to each mouse click. I'm still kicking myself about a deal on CL on an i3-2120 for $50 and at the same time there was an Asrock H77 motherboard for $50. The fact that it was about a 40 mile round trip is what caused me pause, during which the CPU sold. Motherboard was not very well liked at the Egg.
Using a dual core with 2 GTX 460's, I have the same problems as you do. I wouldn't even think about using it for anything but folding. With two cards folding, it takes forever to get a response to a simple mouse click, even at conservative clock rates on the 460's. I've reloaded the OS, disabled every non-essential service and process, and it still locks up about once a month. I therefore have to shut it down when I leave town. I don't want to pay for electricity for no results. I no longer mess with anything but gigabyte motherboards. I've NEVER had a problem with any gigabyte MB. Something I can't say about other manufacturers. I'm building a replacement PC for the i7-930 tank in my System Stats. Using a gigabyte matx board (GA-Z77MX-D3H) and an i3-3225 chip. Together with a Samsung SSD, a Sapphire low profile HD7750, and a 1 TB WD Green for data, the thing flys all while using zippo watts. (Obviously this won't be a folding or crunching PC, just everyday stuff and gaming.)
@ thebluebumblebee I was under the impression that F@H didn't use SLI or Crossfire for that mater when folding 2 GPU's in SLI/CF = 2WU's or 1 on each GPU not 2 GPU's IN SLI/CF = 1 WU across both GPU's
@ thebluebumblebee Are you running the cards overclocked or stock? I had that problems with one of my rigs when I was running the gpu beta's. I dropped the overclock on the cards a little more and it fixed it, but I know one of the 3 gpu's in the rig is going bad. I can't play any games in sli without artifacting, but it still folds fine when sli is disabled and running lower clocks.
Stock clocks, temps well controlled (I'm only running one of my 900 MHz Ti's right now because it overheats. ATCS 840 with 3 230mm fans blowing in and it can't keep the GPU's cool.:shadedshu My history with OC'ing is not that good other than the 9600 GSO's, but that was easy. I'm thinking that my 2600K with a H80 that's running at stock is sorta like those GSO's - a shame not to OC. Correct. In the past, SLI had to be disabled in order to Fold. Now the status of SLI does not matter, but I mentioned it just in case. You like those, do you? Me too. Sorry, but there's no way to "cherry pick" which work units you get. There are times that a different setting will net more points and someone will post about what setting to use. BTW, virtually everyone asks this question in one way or another.
Figure I would throw this in here, gonna help out with the Chimp Challenge, but been forever since I folded, and curious how I can get the most out of my 2 PCs. First rig is listed in system specs, 2nd in my sig, neither card is OCed, the 3770K in my main rig is running 4.8GHz if that matters at all. Thanks! EDIT: After having both rigs running for a few minutes with the default settings, the 7770 is folding a bit better than the 7950, could this be that the 7770 is on the 13.1 WHQL vs the 7950 on the 13.3 Beta, they both are working on the 11292 WU?
I'm pretty sure you will need to use 13.1. Follow my instructions here. You really want to get those cards on the beta work units, especially that 7950.
Another quick question, in the Advanced tab of when you go to Configure, should Folding Core Priority be lowest possible or slightly higher, and do I want to disable highly optimized assembly code, kind of remember doing that back in the day, but not sure if things have changed. Thanks!
Only been folding for about two days and decided to download FAH GPU Tracker V2 as its meant to take care of everything as ive read there's complications trying to run f@h on ati gpu's. i think ive set it up right and folding started almost straight away on my cpu but GPU's no so. They've sat on unkown on project and points for the past 10 min. I can only assume ive set something up wrong?
Help for some error i've got some problem in my second rig: why FAH said Unknown under Credit related to gpu? and 2nd question: if FAH say i need to lower gpu clock?
Sorry, but the HD 4xxx and below are no longer supported. I don't know why your client would not show info for that old Work Unit that has been around since 2008. I expect it will after you complete a WU. If you were really pushing it when this happened, then yes, back off on the OC. Also look at other things like heat and dust build up.
I noticed that GPU2 WU's will not show proper PPD in FahClient. After upload, you will receive proper credit for the WU's .
So as my folder is also my gaming pc, I noticed while gaming that folding wasn't really moving anywhere, and set up perfmon to monitor CPU usage of the folding process. Well the results are truly mystifying. While it got about 60% of CPU time, the TPF jumped by a unit of 10, from approx. 3m 30s to 35m. Any reason it can't do work while I'm gaming? Edit: A thing I note when comparing to a clean run, is that kernel time of the folding process is extremely high.
finished about 7-8 WU but never showed info, neither wen deleted slot and reallocated liquid cooled, mb vrm heat up (too much) now find stable cfg at 50Mhz lower on gpu 14K PPD for a gtx460 is ok? not second gpu, another system too (same network, but different pc)
Does that mean if i just replace my core2duo with a core2quad i could get 100% load and more than just "some" increase? Would be a valuable path for my office pc that crunches (+ adds a little future proof to it)
if you would use 100% cpu have to manually set the preferences: "configure" => "slots" => "cpu" => "value = 2" 2 appear to take number of thread from what the os see, so could use at 100% the cpu p.s. project 10'000 is way too long 12days deadline
Sig rig, Phenom II X6, Radeon HD 5870, Ubuntu 13.04 x64 (fairly fresh install) Anyone else not getting GPU WUs? Server stats say the work server it's trying to use (vsp10v-vz01) is: Viewing the server in a browser gives: "OK" Judging by the "Accept" under status rather than "Full", I assume I've answered my own question.

Uh oh… more drug stories. According to The Chicago Tribune, Bears receiver Sam Hurd accepted a kilogram of cocaine from a confidential informant and an undercover agent posing as a drug supplier. Hurd was charged with conspiring to purchase a kilo of cocaine with intent to distribute. At the Wednesday night meeting Hurd had set up to buy anywhere from 1 to 5 kilos of cocaine and 1,000 pound of marijuana for distribution in the Chicago area. The Bears issued this statement about the incident.
"We are aware of Sam's arrest and are continuing to gather details surrounding it. We are disappointed whenever these circumstances arise. We will deal with them appropriately once we have all the information."

Your Right to Know
Concerned about the approaching "fiscal cliff," Starbucks Chief Executive Howard Schultz is urging workers in the company's roughly 120 Washington-area coffee shops to write "come together" on customers' cups today and Friday to send a message to politicians.
"We're paying attention; we're greatly disappointed in what's going on, and we deserve better," Schultz said.

Why is the ocean appear blue
05-28-2012, 09:06 PM #19The ocean looks blue because blue light is a shorter wavelength of light that is is reflected more readily by water than longer wavelengths (such as red, orange, and yellow). Since most of the light that's reflected/returned by water is blue, it looks blue to us. (The same principle is what causes the sky to look blue.)

Saint Anthony's Day! 613 ~ 613X Flip 6 = 9
Anthony of Padua or Anthony of Lisbon, O.F.M., (born Fernando Martins de Bulhões; 15 August 1195 – 13 June 1231) was a Portuguese Catholic priest and friar of the Franciscan Order. Though he died in Padua, he was born and raised in a wealthy family in Lisbon. Noted by his contemporaries for his forceful preaching and expert knowledge of scripture, he was declared a saint almost immediately after his death and proclaimed a Doctor of the Church on 16 January 1946.

Flag Day (United States) 614 614X Flip 6=9
In the United States Flag Day is celebrated on June 14. It commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States, which happened that day by resolution of the Second Continental Congress in 1777.The United States Army also celebrates the Army Birthday on this date; Congress adopted "the American continental army" after reaching a consensus position in the Committee of the Whole on June 14, 1775.
In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that officially established June 14 as Flag Day; in August 1949, National Flag Day was established by an Act of Congress.
Flag Day is not an official federal holiday, though on June 14, 1937, Pennsylvania became the first (and only) U.S. state to celebrate Flag Day as a state holiday, beginning in the town of Rennerdale.Title 36 of the United States Code, Subtitle I, Part A, CHAPTER 1, § 110 is the official statute on Flag Day; however, it is at the President's discretion to officially proclaim the observance.
One of the longest-running Flag Day parades is held annually in Quincy, Massachusetts, which began in 1952, celebrating its 59th year in 2010. The 59th Annual Appleton Wisconsin 2009 Flag Day Parade featured the U.S. Navy. The largest Flag Day parade is held annually in Troy, New York, which bases its parade on the Quincy parade and typically draws 50,000 spectators.
Perhaps the oldest continuing Flag Day parade is at Fairfield, Washington. Beginning in 1909 or 1910, Fairfield has held a parade every year since, with the possible exception of 1918, and celebrated the "Centennial" parade in 2010, along with some other commemorative events. Thanks ~ Wikipedia

This is a poem I wrote many years ago thought I would share it. Let me know what you think.
The biggest problem
With the tongue
Is God decided
To give us one
In a practical sense
It works pretty well
We can taste our food
And say letters like "L"
But James was right
And made it quite clear
Most things said would be best
If no one could hear
Like a ship on the ocean
Tiny rudder below
Our tongue a small portion
Will direct where we go
If out of control
And left to be free
It will get us in places
We don't want to be
And we say we love Jesus
Than with words we blow up
It's like keeping water and salt
Separate in a single cup
So give control back to God
The tongue He created
You'll find freedom of speech
Is way overrated!
