Biggest NBA Duds Of 2011-12
This lockout shortened season has allowed for many rough starts for both individual players around the league, as well as for entire teams. There have been a slew of injuries as players attempt to completely get back into basketball shape, but with each game holding so much importance this year, there isn't time for excuses.
Gathering a list of players and entire teams who have been disappointing to this point occurred by considering where the expectations were for the player or team coming into the season. Not all teams came into the season with playoff expectations and not all players can be All-Stars and each was judged according to the factual expectations placed upon them by the team executives or coaches entering the year.
The Charlotte Bobcats
The Bobcats are 3-21 on the season and very well may be the worst team in Charlotte's history, which is saying something. This is a team losing games at a ridiculous pace in this 66-game season, already racking up 21 losses and the schedule doesn't get any easier. Their use of a first round pick on Bismack Biyombo is proving to be a stretch at this point unless things change drastically as well, as many continue to question Michael Jordan's drafting decisions.
While they do have five players averaging in double-figures scoring, one of them is something called Byron Mullens. This does not strike any sort of fear among their opponents in the NBA. Their leading scorer, Gerald Henderson is a solid player, but on a truly competitive team, he is probably the third best option. In short, this team has a long ways to go before they are truly competitive.
Wes Johnson – Minnesota Timberwolves
Starting 22 of 23 games for the Minnesota Timberwolves at both the shooting guard and small forward positions, new head coach Rick Adelman is giving Johnson all the opportunity he can to succeed. In fact, Adelman has probably given too many opportunities at this point with Johnson averaging 5.9 points—on 36% shooting and 24% from the three-point line—to go along with 3 rebounds and less than an assist per game. With Ricky Rubio on the roster, Johnson finds himself wide open for many shots and is having difficulty finding any sort of rhythm, forcing the Timberwolves to wonder at what point a slump becomes the fact.
If Johnson doesn't find his shot soon—or find other ways to contribute to his team—his minutes will fall dramatically, jeopardizing his place on the team. There are plenty of players competing for time at those two positions such as Luke Ridnour, JJ Barea, Wayne Ellington, Michael Beasley, Derrick Williams and Martell Webster. The Timberwolves wanted Johnson to fit into the role of the starting two-guard for their team, but to this point, it is not working at all.
The New York Knicks
After showing a lot of promise at the beginning of last season, the Knicks and Nuggets put the NBA world through Carmelo overload with the trade rumors. After the trade finally went down, many acted as if the Knicks were only a piece away from being major threats to the Miami HEAT and Chicago Bulls in the Eastern Conference. As a whole, they were given a pass last year with the reasoning being they were putting things together on the fly mid-season, but the lockout didn't allow them to have a full training camp together this season either, as is the case with each NBA team.
Adding Tyson Chandler to the mix this year was a good move, but at what point do the Knick seriously have to consider they made an error in judgment in trying to make a poor man's version of the Miami HEAT? They traded away their depth to Denver and will have a lot of issues finding the pieces to fit with their stars to make a championship level squad. A 9-15 record is tough to swallow after all the hype and Amare Stoudemire is not the only one who should receive blame here.
The Washington Wizards
While very few truly expected the Wizards to compete for a playoff berth, they should be better than they are. However, they are in the midst of major growing pains this season, currently with a 4-20 record. The collective immaturity on the team helped aid in the firing of Flip Saunders, but the interim coach Randy Wittman will not be any sort of answer, as his head coaching track record speaks for itself in very bad fashion.
This is a team that does have good, young talent, but lacks true veteran leadership. It is critical they find ways to both add to their talent level and add veterans to their mix who can show the young players how to be professionals in the NBA.
Channing Frye – Phoenix Suns
Currently, the Phoenix Suns are on the outside looking in at the playoffs, sparking the yearly conversation of whether or not they should finally trade Steve Nash. Yet, when the Suns have a weapon on their roster that isn't being utilized as completely as it should be, that conversation should be put on hold again unless Nash himself requests to go elsewhere.
Averaging only 7.0 points and 5.3 rebounds in his nearly 22 minutes per game is well below what Frye should be able to accomplish for his team. Making Frye's play even more frustrating to Phoenix is how well he played last season, his career year to that point, averaging 12.7 points and 6.7 rebounds, both career highs. He is much more talented than how he is currently playing.

Treasuries rose as the World Bank lowered its forecast for global growth amid concern central banks are considering pulling back on stimulus measures, fueling demand for the relative safety of government debt.
Ten-year note yields fell the most in a week after the World Bank yesterday pared its projections for economic expansion in 2013 to 2.2% from a January estimate of 2.4%. The Federal Reserve meets June 18-19, when it will discuss its bond-buying program. The U.S. will sell $13 billion of 30-year bonds today, after demand declined at three- and 10-year note auctions this week.
"The No. 1 thing that today's market shows you is that Treasuries remain an international asset class," said Ira Jersey, an interest-rate strategist at Credit Suisse Group AG in New York, one of 21 primary dealers that trade with the Fed. "When you have global angst in risky assets, even if the U.S. isn't doing that badly, people still move to Treasuries to find a safe haven."
U.S. 10-year yields fell three basis points, or 0.03 percentage point, to 2.20% at 10:53 a.m. New York time, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader data. They slid earlier as much as seven basis points, the most since June 6. The price of the 1.75% security due in May 2023 rose 9/32, or $2.81 per $1,000 face amount, to 96 1/32.
Thirty-year bond yields declined three basis points to 3.34%.
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index of stocks dropped 2.3%, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index rose 0.4% after falling 0.3%.
Fed Stimulus
U.S. yields have climbed this month as investors weighed whether the economy is strengthening enough for Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke to consider reducing bond purchases that have been used to keep borrowing rates low. Bernanke told Congress on May 22 the central bank's policy-setting board could start scaling back its bond purchases in its "next few meetings" if the U.S. employment outlook shows sustainable improvement
The Fed is buying $85 billion of U.S. government and mortgage-backed securities each month to put downward pressure on borrowing costs. It's scheduled to purchase as much as $3.5 billion of Treasuries today due from August 2020 to May 2023.
Volatility in Treasuries as measured by the Bank of America Merrill Lynch MOVE Index was at 81.89 yesterday, after rising to 84.75 on June 6 and June 10, the highest level in almost a year. It has averaged 62.3 over the past 12 months.
Higher Volume
Trading volume has been increasing, with the amount changing hands through ICAP Plc, the largest inter-dealer broker of U.S. government debt, averaging $396 billion a day from the start of May through yesterday. That's up from an average of $281 billion in the first four months of the year.
Treasuries briefly pared gains today after U.S. retail sales rose and jobless claims dropped. Sales increased 0.6% in May, the Commerce Department reported, exceeding a Bloomberg survey's forecast for a 0.4% gain. Jobless- benefit claims fell last week by 12,000 to 334,000, Labor Department data showed.
The 30-year bonds being sold today yielded 3.34% in pre-sale trading, which would be the highest in an auction since March 2012, after drawing 2.98% at the May 9 sale. The May offering's bid-to-cover ratio, which gauges demand by comparing the amount bid with the amount offered, was 2.53, versus an average of 2.58 at the past 10 auctions.
Note Sales
The $21 billion 10-year sale yesterday drew a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.53. It was the least since August. At an auction of $32 billion in three-year notes on June 11, the bid-to-cover ratio was 2.95, the smallest since December 2010.
Jim Rogers, the investor and author of the book "Street Smarts," reiterated his view that the bull market in bonds is coming to an end, speaking at a conference in Kuala Lumpur. Benchmark 10-year yields declined from 15.8% in September 1981 to a record low of 1.38% in July of last year.
Dan Fuss, whose Loomis Sayles Bond Fund beat 97% of its peers in the past three years with 10% average returns, said he recently bought Treasuries as they were "pretty badly" oversold.
Fuss, who is based in Boston for Loomis Sayles & Co., said in an interview he expects yields to rise in the longer term, with the 10-year rate probably reaching 3.2% by the end of 2014.
Investors pulled $10.9 billion from U.S. bond mutual funds in the past week, the biggest redemption since October 2008, after speculation that the Fed may scale back its bond buying sent fixed-income markets lower.
Taxable bond funds suffered withdrawals of $8.7 billion and municipal bond funds lost $2.3 billion in the week ended June 5, according to an e-mailed statement from the Investment Company Institute, a Washington-based trade group. Investors withdrew $942 million from stock funds, the ICI reported.

Two Gulf Breeze residents were seriously injured in an early morning accident on U.S. Highway 98 in Gulf Breeze today.
Read more...
Two men were lucky to be alive after the Jeep Cherokee they were driving flipped three times from the eastbound lane of U.S. Highway 98 and rolled into the embankment.
Traffic in the westbound lane of U.S. Highway 98 was snarled for hours on May 31 due to a multi-vehicle accident during peak traffic hours on the area's busiest highway, leaving one passenger dead and another injured.
The 2,600 acres wildfire burning on Eglin range just north of Hurlburt Field is "60 percent contained," according to Mike Spaits, environmental spokesman for Eglin Air Force Base.
Memorial Day is a day set aside to recognize the men and women who have died while protecting the nation.

Who said Halloween costumes have to be silly and frivolous? Just think of all the environmental disasters out there, and you can pack an unwelcome, socially-conscious message into your Halloween costume without much extra effort. True, your costume may not inspire peals of laughter, and neighbors may call you "Debbie Downer" to your face. But when's the last time someone dressed as a sexy flight attendant (or a pissed-off one, Steven Slater!) actually made a difference in the world? These Halloween costumes are perfect for people who care about the environment – and don't mind preaching about it to cornered party guests who're just trying to have some damn fun.

The Nameberry 9: This week's newsiest names, from Mabel to Maxim
There are some weeks when even name mavens like Appellation Mountain's Abby Sandel have to dig deep to find nine newsworthy names, but of course Abby always comes through. Here are The Nameberry Nine for this week.
It finally happened. After weeks and weeks of effortlessly identifying nine newsworthy names, this week I was stuck. There were two celebrity births, a nicely named girl and boy, but neither was the newsworthy delight I'd anticipated.
Suddenly I understood the laments of expectant parents everywhere: there are all of these names, nice enough names, but they're not the right ones for us. It was a Name Drought, a feeling of deprivation in the midst of plenty. While waiting to learn our second child's gender, I had a similar feeling. We had a girl's name all set, but if our daughter had been a second son? We might still be calling him Baby.
Then I gave in to the siren song of the Gap Casting Call, and after wading through 763 pages of adorable kid pictures, I found floods of names to love, like boys called Leland, Thaddeus, and Giacomo.

TPM reports that Chris Wallace stated on air that President Obama had a 60 vote Senate majority for two years — so if he didn't get anything done it's his fault. This is another favorite fictional meme of the GOP:
"For the first 2 years he had a filibuster proof majority in the Senate," Wallace told LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, making the case that Obama has only himself to blame for his poor economic record.

Dollhouses have been quite an exclusively play item for centuries now. Every little girl wants a dollhouse to play with and then just to keep it aside to adorn her room and fill it with memories. For those who can afford it, pre-fabricated dollhouses in every shape, size and theme are available in the market. There are many specialist dollhouse makers who will give you the entire thing to just take home and install.
Of course, the more adventurous and budget conscious people prefer to make their own dollhouse and it can evolve into quite a fun weekend project. Getting down to building a dollhouse can be some challenge especially since it is literally like building an entire house and doing its interiors in just two days. This is where dollhouse plans can help.
Dollhouse plans are an essential when you get down to creating a dollhouse. If you don't have your theme, sizes, items, and interiors planned out well in advance you could end up doing a lot of rebuilding and running to the hardware store. It may seem simple but dollhouse plans need to be very exhaustive and contain everything from the material lists to elaborate drawings, especially when dollhouse making is a group project.
It is quite likely that you have never built a dollhouse or anything similar in the past so making elaborate dollhouse plans may also seem a bit tough. There are many facets to it and getting the dollhouse made is like playing architect, carpenter, painter, plumber and interior decorator all at once. So to make life easier for all project aspirants, dollhouse makers and accessory designers create and sell readymade dollhouse plans. You can pick these up over the Internet and have them shipped to you. Dollhouse plans like those offered by dollhousecollectibles.com offer you complete and comprehensive information on how to get a dollhouse made from scratch to finish.

I just bought a nice Urei 1601 mixer. It has a nice send and return channel for efects. I'm not happy about my effect box.
Could anybody advice some good software for realtime affects ?
This way I can use my Mac comuter instead of buying an new expensive effect box.

The 34 students at Mountain House School, a two-room school on Mountain House Road, went on a field trip, sponsored by the Byron-Bethany Irrigation District, that took them to the Frog Hollow Farm near Brentwood.
Frog Hollow is a 143-acre agricultural enterprise — mostly orchards — that specializes in growing, shipping and processing organic fruits.
The students saw the orchards where cherries, apricots, peaches, pears, plums and pluots are grown without use of pesticides or herbicides. They also saw processing facilities where the fruits are prepared for shipment.
Sarah Coddington, a partner in Frog Hollow Farm, told the students that the farm's goal is to get organically certified fruit from tree to table within 48 hours.
"We make sure our fruit is tree-ripened and packaged for shipping in a matter of hours," she said. "We ship to food markets, farmers markets and to online customers."
Coddington said fruit not meeting cosmetic standards is made into conserve, which is used to make pies and other products.
During their tour of Frog Hollow's orchards, the students saw apricots being dried naturally without the use of sulfur.
Coddington said Frog Hollow operates a store and bake shop in the San Francisco Ferry Building, where many customers get their first taste of organically grown products.
After touring the organic farm, the students were treated to a barbecue lunch at the Byron-Bethany Irrigation District headquarters on Bruns Road near Byron.

A charming barn adventure for toddlers and families now with 9 additional languages!
Inside a little bouncing barn, friendly farm animals are waiting to pop out and surprise your little one. Try and guess who they are; tap the doors to find out!
Work with your child to learn the names of animals and hear the sounds they make. Younger children will love opening the barn doors to find a new animal animation, as they learn about cause and effect and become familiar with animal names and sounds. Older children will enjoy guessing animals by sound, then seeing the animal names, which helps develop early literacy skills.
New Multiple Language Features!
Press the Language button on the Options screen to try them out.
- Choose from the built-in narrators: child's voice in English; adult's voice in English or Spanish.
- Record your own voice: We added this feature so parents, children, and visiting relatives and friends can capture their own voices and star in Peekaboo Barn. Now you can record the animal names in your native language—or grandma's voice, or grandpa's—and, if you're recording a new language, you can save the appropriate written version too, and both will show up the next time you play. (Please note, we can only support the writing systems that are supported by your device.)
- Additional languages: Two packs now available for in-app purchase, for 99 cents each:
- Asian languages 1: Mandarin, Cantonese, and Japanese.
- European languages 1: Swedish, Dutch, Italian, German, and French.
One of the first apps to be released for toddlers, since 2008 Peekaboo Barn has been downloaded over half a million times, and played over 20 million times worldwide. It has been a top 20 educational game on the iTunes store nearly every day since its launch, and has been featured by Apple often. It won The Best Toddler App Ever award in 2009, and was named one of the top 50 iPhone apps for kids by Babble.com in 2010 and 2011. It is recommended by The New York Times, MSNBC, USA Today, Wired, Telegraph UK, Ireland's The Independent, Parents Magazine, and the Washington Post.
Peekaboo Barn was made for you and your toddler by artists and educators, not marketers, robots, or companies repackaging clip art. Our team has backgrounds in cognitive science and child development, and we've worked in educational media everywhere from Penguin USA to the Smithsonian Institution. When you could really use a safe distraction—in airports, restaurants, and waiting rooms—or you'd like to try something new with your little genius, Peekaboo Barn is the educational, artful solution. Enjoy!

Fifth route from the right. A fun line with several variations. Can be done as a 5.8 if you take the easiest line, or a 5.10 if you take the hardest line. This route is a bit of a squeeze job (stay left of the bolt line or you'll trespass on Topless Etiquette!) in between Topless Etiquette and Silver Glide. Not included in the Rossiter guide. Climb straight up a face past three bolts. Move up right and reach left to clip the fourth bolt above the lip of a roof. You now have three options: 1. Traverse left to a good crack to surmount the roof (8). 2. Tackle the roof straight on via a finger pocket and a reach up left to the good crack (10b). 3. Climb the roof on the right (9). Continue up to the second roof at the fifth bolt. You now have two options: 1. Move right around the roof using a groove (8). 2. Tackle the roof directly using thin holds (10b to 10d). The more you stay in line with the fifth bolt, the harder the climbing. Continue up past a final bolt to the anchor.
Fairly decent route. I was able to place a few mid-sized cams after the bulge for added security.
5.8 or 5.10d, depending on whether you go around the bulge at mid-height, or go directly over it. First climb outside in 2001! Good to get out.
Did this route today, it is a little bit of a squeeze job if you don't follow the bolt line. The move at the 4th bolt seems harder than 5.10 straight up, very reachy, without getting into the crack at left. From here, fire straight over the little overhanging section, again very reachy. (Almost dyno for under 5'7".) A decent line, you could lead the whole crack with trad gear for a decent route as well.
You can lead the crack with gear at about 5.7. This is how I got the anchors in for Bosch Blanket.
After the crux this is a little runout, but the section that's runout it only about 5.5, if that. I liked this climb, slabby roof sections that have a mini-Yosemite feeling to them.
I don't like this type of route because it feels contrived to follow the bolt line. If you stay right of the bolts, it's probably not even 5.9, but following them seemed harder than 5.9. An orange Alien can be slotted above the roof, or you can make some easy moves and clip the final bolt.
A good climb though found it a bit confusing in knowing what the intent of the exact line is. The move at the fourth bolt is definitely 5.10 something if you don't use the crack. There is a small 2 finger pocket for your left hand to help you over the bulge but your all the holds for your left foot seem to be slanted in the wrong direction just when u need them. If you work your way up high on the bulge and reach for a second into the crack with your left hand, the move becomes much easier.
Surprisingly large holds just below and over the fifth bolt.
Great climb! Fun rout the whole way up. I didn't think there was a 10d anywhere in the climb. A 10b at most was at the first overhang and maybe the second.
If you are bored with clipping bolts, you can lead this one on trad gear. Gear to #2 cam....
This didn't really feel like a route. It felt more like part of the Riviera grid-bolt system. Here's a line of bolts; do whatever moves seem interesting to you in the vicinity of these bolts. None of them really form a distinct route.
As a new 5.9 leader, I found this route fun and varied. There are 2 steep portions with some slabby features before the run to the anchors :)
Contrived - and weird bolting.

Man Released in Decker Case Posts Bail for Stalking
Ryan Larson, the man arrested and later released in the killing of Cold Spring police officer Tom Decker, turned himself in to the Wright County Jail for felony stalking Sunday.
A warrant was issued for Larson's arrest last week.
A criminal complaint was filed last Thursday in Wright County accusing Larson of felony stalking and violating a restraining order. Larson allegedly contacted a healthcare facility in Buffalo where his ex-girlfriend worked.
The Wright County Attorney's Office said Larson made his first court appearance Monday.
Larson posted $10,000 bail, with conditions. He would have to turn over all weapons within 24 hours of his release, stay law abiding, not use drugs or alcohol, and obey the order for protection, keeping 10 miles away from his ex.
He was released from jail at 2:06 p.m.
His he is due in court Jan. 24.
The complaint filed last week also says Larson also made threatening posts about his ex-girlfriend's company and contacted two of her former employers. Authorities say one of the incidents caused his ex-girlfriend to lose her job.
The night Decker was shot and killed, Nov. 29, the Sheriff's office says the ex-girlfriend called Wright County reporting Larson had sent threatening text messages to his mother.
The sheriff's office says at 10:30 p.m., roughly 15-minutes before Decker was shot and killed, two sheriff deputies were called to Larson's ex-girlfriends house because she was concerned about her safety.

DREAM Act supporters to protest Mitt Romney at U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in Los Angeles
Wednesday, September 12th, 2012The National Tequila Party Movement endorses the below activity so please join DREAM Act supporters to protest Mitt Romney. While DREAMers protest because they are not eligible to vote, those of us who were born here and are eligible to vote are going to vote and be a voice for the voiceless undocumented immigrants.
Join this EVENT this upcoming Monday in Los Angeles at the Convention Center.
DATE/TIME: Mon, Sep 17, 2012 at 8:00AM
LOCATION: Los Angeles Convention Center, 1201 South Figueroa Street Los Angeles, CA 90015Romney has said that if president, he will veto the DREAM Act, encourage self-deportation and push for an SB-1070 National Model to be implemented.This is our opportunity to make our voices thunder through the halls of the Los Angeles Convention Center, the streets of LA and the entire nation to expose Romney's extreme position on immigration and LGBTQ rights!
On a side note, those of us who were born here (like myself) and are eligible to vote have a responsibility to vote for the voiceless undocumented. I am supporting President Obama for President in 2012 because the immigration issue is important to me and breaks my heart every single day.

Five liquor stores in Tarrant County would be sold by Centennial Beverage Group to Cheers Spirits & Liquors of Pilot Point as part of a deal submitted for approval in U.S. Bankruptcy Court.
A judge in Dallas is scheduled to consider the sale Friday.The stores, including two in Fort Worth, would be among 13 Centennial liquor stores being sold to Cheers. The Fort Worth stores are on Alta Mere Drive and Camp Bowie Boulevard. Other area locations are in Hudson Oaks, Trophy Club and Azle, according to court filings. The list also includes stores in Addison, The Colony, Highland Village, Weatherford and Granbury and three in Dallas, on Greenville Avenue, Marsh Lane and Walton Walker Road.The sale is contingent on the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission issuing licenses to Cheers to operate the stores, the filing said. Cheers would begin making lease payments in January on the stores, but Centennial would continue to operate them until the licenses are issued, court filings say.Peter Woody, owner of Cheers Spirits & Liquors, could not be reached Monday for comment.Centennial filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization Dec. 17, saying its profits were declining in the face of increased competition from "big box" liquor sellers, groceries and other retailers.Centennial entered into a letter of intent Dec. 14 with Cheers Spirits to sell the stores for $50,000 each, totaling $650,000, court records say.Cheers will take over 11 leases and will lease two stores from JWV Associates, which owns them in partnership with Centennial, court filings say.Dallas-based Centennial expanded in 2011 by acquiring the Fort Worth-based Majestic Liquor Store chain out of bankruptcy but scaled back last year from as many as 70 stores to 23 Centennials, Majestics and Big Daddy's. It owes millions to creditors.Cheers has stores in Aubrey, The Colony and Roanoke.Sandra Baker, 817-390-7727Twitter: @SandraBakerFWSTHave more to add? News tip? Tell us

More and more young people have been coming into our shop lately, wondering how to prepare for a career as an instrument maker. Most of them are still in high school, the time when kids are trying to figure out if they should be doctors, lawyers, cowboys, or astronauts—and at least around here, guitar makers. I'm always at a bit of a loss for what to tell them. Should I be the voice of reason and advise them to pursue a less exclusive career path, like the NFL?
With 32 teams and 53 roster positions each, there are 1,696 jobs available as a player in the NFL. I conducted a completely unscientific survey by adding up the number of employees at the guitar factories, small shops, and one- and two-man operations. My totally off-the-wall estimate indicates there may actually be fewer available positions as a professional American acoustic guitar builder than a professional football player. Maybe the best way to tell people how to get where they think they want to go is to tell them about the guys who work for us, and how they each ended up in this exclusive little club.
John Calkin has a degree as a gunsmith, but his experience putting together a dulcimer kit in his bedroom in the mid-'70s took him down this path. One of his friends who built muzzle-loaders had some shop space and machinery to share, and John was soon building and selling dulcimers. He eventually moved into his own space and began answering orders for mandolins, bouzoukis, banjos, electric guitars, and acoustics. Like a lot of builders from that era, he had to figure it all out as he went. John came onboard after interviewing us for a magazine article and has been part of our team for about 14 years now.
Many people fantasize about building acoustic guitars for a living, but there's no clear-cut path to a career in lutherie. One thing is clear: Crafting an instrument like this—and bringing it to market— takes a group of talented people working together as a team.
Dean Jones grew up in a musical family from Alabama (his uncle played Dobro with Hank Williams) and inherited his father's love of woodwork-ing. He went to college to major in art, but ended up with a business degree and spent seven years working in and managing bookstores. His interest in instruments and woodworking eventually led him to the Roberto Venn School of Lutherie and a job in our shop after graduation.
Ben Critzer came to us after answering an ad we placed in our local paper. He first picked up the guitar during the Great Folk Scare of the early '60s. After graduating from Virginia Tech in 1971, he spent years working for newspapers and doing PR before a midlife switch to landscaping work, which led to an appreciation of working with his hands. Ben's solid background (combined with some disappointing luthe-rie-school dreamers at the time) made him a great choice, even though he had no experience in this line of work. Ben sprays all of our finish and has been with us for over five years.
Ken McAlack's path to ourshop is similar to Ben's. Kengrew up in the '60s playingrock 'n' roll, fighting the pres-sure to conform, until therealities of a wife and childrenmade him buckle and get a"real job." Auto mechanics hadalways come to him naturally,so he set out on a career paththat eventually led to managinglarge service departments forauto dealerships. But he alwaysvowed that after the kids weregrown and college was paid for,he was going to do what hereally wanted to do. A tour ofour shop seven years ago wasan eye-opener for Ken, and wejust happened to be looking fora buffer. His enthusiasm andobvious eye for detail convincedus to give him a chance. Mostof the guitars that have comeout of our shop in the last sev-eral years owe their beautifulshine to Ken's skilled hands.
JEFF HUSS, co-owner of Huss & Dalton Guitar Company, moved to Virginia in the late '80s to play bluegrass. He and his business partner, Mark
Dalton, formed their company in 1995. Since then they've earned world-wide recognition for their high-end, boutique guitars and banjos.

I'm having a bit of a difficulty with Next Actions/Projects/Areas of Responsibility.
My day-to-day implementation of GTD is going ok - I process my inbox, get some sort of action in context lists, and then (mostly! ) do the work. But in order to get a better view of things, I know I need to work out projects etc.
My difficulty is this: I attend a certain meeting about once a week - which I prepare for and then report on. A number of these meetings feed into a higher level meeting, which turn feeds into a further top-level meeting. I have things to do in relation to each one. My question is - where do I draw the lines (or does it even matter?)
Is 'Top-level meeting on Subject A' my area of responsibilty? With each of the lower level meetings being projects? Or is the preparation for each meeting the project, and therefore each meeting at each level a different area of responsibility.
Or am I totally overthinking this and it doesn't matter one way or another? (I kind of feel it's holding me back from doing my weekly review properly)

How does freebsd do this then? They've had idle (and realtime) priority in the kernels for a couple years. And there are no problems with priority inversion (which was Mike Shaver's answer to me for linux's lack of idle time priority 2 years ago when I asked him if Linux was going to be incorporating it) - rather, they have lock breaking code working nicely in freebsd. Freebsd's idle priority gives 30 levels of idle priority to play with. Anything at a lower level of idle priority gets NO time on the cpu at all until there is some available. This is quite nice when things like Gaussian98 is running and you want to put a higher priority g98 job on without having a nice level 19 in linux G98 fighting and thrashing the cache vs the nice level 0 g98. I notice a total speedup of 1-2% at least in the difference between running the two jobs sequentially vs putting 1 at 19 and 1 at 0. I find this system VERY useful for scheduling jobs on various machines shared by different groups. It really guarantees that the CPU will be used primarily for one type of job and not another and avoids cache thrashing quite nicely - until something goes to disk, and then the idle job wakes up, etc... is it worth using the extra cpu and possibly thrashing the cache, or is it more efficient to wait for a bigger chunk of free CPU? /kc > > > Ouch.

New Delhi: The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has released its climate change report sparking off a debate over commitments demanded from developing nations like India and China.
The report makes a direct link between human development and climate change. The report says that hundreds of millions, mainly in South Asia will be hit by reduced agricultural productivity by 2080.
The report specifically mentions the impact on the Indo-Gangetic plains. It also says there will be shortage of water due to retreating glaciers in the Himalayas.
This will also increase the risk of diseases for millions in Asia and make up to a third of species existing today extinct due to rising temperature.

Product 11/13
Great for a variety of Industries including: Security, Heavy Industrial Sites, Construction, Highway & Roadwork. The industrial grade VX-454 maximizes worker uptime with expanded safety applications and convenient built-in features designed for heavy duty use.
Durable On-The-Job Responsiveness
Monitor Worker Safety
As with all Vertex Standard radios, the VX-450 series includes built-in Emergency and Lone Worker alerts. Emergency notification is user-initiated with a press of a button for the radio to switch to a designated channel and send an alert for help. Lone Worker mode is a built-in timer that requires the user to reset at a predetermined interval. If not reset, the radio automatically switches to Emergency mode to alert help.
When constant contact is required at all times, Vertex Standards exclusive Auto-Range Transpond System (ARTS) is included to inform the user that other ARTS- equipped radios are within communication range.
No two job sites are alike and the optional Man Down function (with DVS-9 unit) is programmable to monitor a variety of worker timed safety scenarios vertically and horizontally as well as worker degree of motion. Adjusting the settings of the 3-axis sensor adapts the radio to each distinct work environment to monitor movement.
Solid Build for Extreme Environments
The VX-450 Series withstands job site abuse meeting military standards for ruggedness and meets the IP57 ingress protection standard where water does not harm the radio when submersed* to a depth of 3 feet for up to 30 minutes. *IP57 water submersion rating valid only with accessory cover attached.
Audio and Voice Responsiveness
Features 700 mW loud audio output ideal for noisy work environments.
Includes Channel Announcement which loudly speaks the channel description to simplify changing channels when focused on other tasks simultaneously. Features voice activation (VOX) when used with MH-81A4B headset that enables users to transmit voice without pressing the Push To Talk button for hands-free operation. Record and store up to 120 seconds of voice messages using the optional DVS-8 Voice Storage unit.
Built-in Selective Signaling Modes
Includes MDC-1200® encode/decode along with both 2-tone and 5-tone encode/decode providing selective radio calling and efficiency in supporting a variety of discreet communications needs.
Large Group Communications Made Easy to Manage
Both the VX-459 and VX-454 radios have a massive 512-channel capacity and 32 groups to easily manage a variety of calls at the most complex job site or plant operation. The VX-459 also includes Direct Channel Entry to punch in the channel desired from the keypad for fast navigation.

The credit to accounts will apparently come with a 10 time play-through requirement, requiring substantially more wagering activity than the initial 2x reported yesterday. This will likely negatively affect basketball bettors, who normally wouldn't hold a balance beyond the NBA season. It is thought that Legends was intent on taking the best opportunity for players that emerged in the same week they were forced to close their doors. It is unknown why the initial arrangement was canceled. SBR will continue to follow the situation. SBR will also provide daily updates and feedback from players now obligated to Wagerweb (SBR rating C-) once those former Legends players are using Wagerweb.com. | Read more
Legends Sports (SBR rating A+) gaming license has been revoked in Panama. As a result, Legends has ceased accepting wagers and is in the process of implementing their contingency plan having player funds assumed by an A rated sportsbook. Players will be contacted within 48 hours with new account information. A minimal 2X play-through will be required prior to any cashout. This balance takeover is for players that held deposited funds with Legends; not users that had private arrangements. | Read more

Delmarsportsbook.com is operated by a man named Robbie; owner of defunct sportsbook Apex Sports (SBR rating F). Robbie has created the likes of LegendSportsbook to fool bettors into believing they were accessing the actual Legends (SBR rating A+) sportsbook.
