Everybody on our planet has the right to water. CEO's campaign to counter water privatisation and promote alternatives at EU level.

The concessions directive, which has the stated object of opening markets and eliminating "discrepancies among national regimes", would end the exemption that has so far existed for drinking water supply and for the first time bring it under the rules of the EU's single market.

When most NBA players go off and turn reality into a video game, the results lie just across the Uncanny Valley — NBA Jam brought to life for a night, but still basketball. Impossible shots drop; flames burst from the ball. It's sport rendered in cartoon action, yet a product not far removed from its baser forms. LeBron James, on the other hand, has no use for virtual basketball. For James, video game time means playing Mortal Kombat on a basketball court. And he always picks Shang Tsung.
LeBron does not defeat opponents. He destroys them. He vanquishes them. He tears their souls from their bodies and shuffles them free of the mortal coil. And he studies them. Information and tendencies reign supreme in the mind of the King; when he knows who you are — when he can become you, truly — he is free to unleash the full brunt of his athletic locomotion and the omnipresence of his knowledge. At his very best, James is a reflection of the rest of the superstars around the league. Last night, as he scored 61 points against the Charlotte Bobcats, Kevin Durant was summoned into LeBron's hands. James became the NBA's version of Liu Kang, flinging fireballs from behind the arc with preordained precision. He was Stephen Curry, lobbing pull-up attempts from 25-feet as a fully conscientious objector to the notion of sanctioned violence against efficiency. It wasn't that LeBron checked to see if he was hot — instead, he assumed the guise of the hot hand personified, becoming the best version of another player.
That's what makes James the best version of himself. The pool from which he can pick and choose a particular player's skill and mindset is limitless. He can be anyone in the league,* and he can change between characters at will. With 60 points in sight, James frantically worked the controls in a constant quest to find the best moves. In transition and in the post, he has the agile grace and vicious finishing of Blake Griffin. Where a healthy Eric Bledsoe is mini-LeBron, James is capable of a transformation into Mecha-Bledsoe, using screens and hesitation, bursts and dribble devastation to get to the rim against the very best defenses. When he's feeling it and gunning for a new career high, LeBron becomes Melo, inconceivably effective with a hand in his face after surveying and toying with the opposition's alignment and cute attempts at double-teams.
*Save perhaps Roy Hibbert, who potentially stands as the Shao Khan to LeBron's Tsung.
The ability to be the best of others would be unfair enough, but in the hands and mind of James, it's a tool unlike any other. It's that creativity and genius that make LeBron who he is, regardless of who he's chosen to be. In the blink of an eye, he'll process your tendencies, diminish your strengths, exploit your weaknesses. Then he'll strike, as Reptile or Scorpion, as Russell Westbrook or Paul George. Sub-Zero and Kevin Love, Jax and (healthy cyborg) Derrick Rose; all are at his beck and call.
But to prove a point, LeBron went for the best trick in his bag. Against the Bobcats, James made it clear that the 2014 MVP race is far from over, and he did it in the most decisive way he knew how. For one night, LeBron became Kevin Durant to surpass Kevin Durant. Flawless victory. Friendship!

Say what you will about the "Scream" franchise, but it's a financial juggernaut. Together, the low-budget meta-horror picks have so far brought in over $500 million and it's no wonder that Dimension Films are returning to the well nearly a decade after "Scream 3." However, the path to "Scream 4" wasn't exactly smooth sailing. Franchise creator Kevin Williamson, who originally penned the script, departed the film last summer, with Ehren Kruger ("Scream 3," "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen") coming in and making drastic changes to the script with reports of cast members jumping ship or simply being unhappy with the new direction their character's had taken. But with the film now a week away from hitting theaters, it looks everyone is friends again. Recently Williamson revealed that his blowup with Bob Weinstein was just par for the course, and that they wound up hugging it out Ari Gold style. And at the end of day both Williamson and Wes Craven would be happy to return for "Scream 5" and "Scream 6" -- with caveats of course.
"I always prided myself on coming up with a shot list, but quite often we'd literally get new pages the night before, sometimes the day of and that was very stressful," director Wes Craven noted to EW (print edition; not yet online), saying that next time around, he wants to read a completed script before signing anything. As confirmed in the article, and as Craven notes, the shoot was a mess with the screenplay being written in the midst of production making for a chaotic set.
As for Williamson, he's playing it even more coy. Even though things seem patched up with Weinsteins, he won't commit to any future films until he finds out what what the box office thinks of "Scream 4" saying, "If people respond to the film, then yes, there are more twists and turns." In fact, he's already got stories for "Scream 5" and "Scream 6" mapped out.
But whatever bad vibes may have been happening behind the scenes, everyone in the cast is eager to come back -- if they're still alive -- and they're not gonna say if they get offed or not in the film, or if they have options for future sequels, so don't even ask. But David Arquette does say, "I love this character; and I always want to be part of it and always wanna do it."
At the end of the day, Bob Weinstein puts it best saying, "'Scream' is the definition of Dimension." The honcho and producer fought hard to make the forthcoming sequel as good as possible especially to meet the high expectations of fans. Whether or not the fracas during filming was worth it remains to be seen.
"Scream 4" opens on April 15th.

Martyball to return next season
SAN DIEGO -- Like the North Pole's most famous resident is doing this time of year, A.J. Smith checked his list. Firing Chargers coach Marty Schottenheimer wasn't on it.
Smith, the team's general manager, delivered a vote of confidence to Schottenheimer on Tuesday. He did so with the last-place Chargers mired in one of their worst skids in franchise history.
"It was never an issue," Smith said of Schottenheimer's status. "But it was starting to be a distraction the last two weeks."
With the Falcons recently firing Dan Reeves and the Giants telling Jim Fassel he was gone at year's end, Schottenheimer was considered to be another coach on the hot seat. But Smith stressed that Schottenheimer, who is owed $5 million in the final two years of his four-year contract, will return in 2004.
"I'm not in the market for a head coach," Smith said.
Schottenheimer, preparing for Sunday's season finale against the Oakland Raiders, released a statement through a club spokesman.
"With a season like this, there's always speculation," Schottenheimer said. "That's the nature of the business. Honestly, it never crossed my mind and we never talked about it. My whole focus always has been and will continue to be on coaching this team."
The spotlight found Schottenheimer because his Chargers occupy the AFC West basement with a dreadful 3-12 record. Overall, the Chargers have lost 19 of their past 24 games and will miss the playoffs for an eighth straight season.
"Two years is not long enough," said Smith, alluding to Schottenheimer's stint, which has produced a 11-20 record. "It's up to me to get him better players through the draft and free agency. We'll address everything else and what goes along with it, after the season."
Smith didn't rule out changes on Schottenheimer's staff. Both coordinators, Cam Cameron (offense) and Dale Lindsey (defense), are Schottenheimer selections, and in those slots for the first time at the NFL level. And Brian Schottenheimer, the head coach's 30-year-old son, is the position coach for Drew Brees, the team's one-time quarterback for the foreseeable future.
But Brees, a third-year pro with a 9-17 starting record, has regressed from the first half of 2002 and is trying to regain his standing with the organization.
Smith did say he would "bounce things off" Schottenheimer regarding his staff, but the ultimate decisions belong to the ninth-winningest coach in NFL history.
What about Smith? He didn't have a rookie season to remember after replacing his late friend, John Butler, in April. Following the dumping of Pro Bowlers Junior Seau, Rodney Harrison and Ryan McNeil, the Chargers are tied with Arizona for the NFL's worst record.
Smith said team president Dean Spanos has told him his job was secure.
"From what I understand, I'll be back," he said. "I'm returning for 2004. Beyond that, you'll have to ask Dean Spanos."
Smith, who labeled 2003 as a year the Chargers would push for a playoff spot, was the architect of a squad which ran the team's streak of non-winning seasons to eight. But Smith said that with Schottenheimer at the helm, the Chargers can rebound.
"I believe in stability in a program, and history tells us we can turn things around very, very quickly," Smith said. "But it will have to be in 2004. This year was just horrendous, and we have one more week and it is behind us.
"We have some hard decisions to make in the offseason in a number of areas, and we're going to do what we have to do to stop this (losing)."
For openers, the Chargers won't lose their head coach.

"Why do I know about Anne Frank and not Solomon Northup?"
So queried Steve McQueen during AFI Fest's "On Directing: A Conversation with Steve McQueen," Sunday night's 45-minute Q&A between the director behind "12 Years a Slave" and moderator Brickson Diamond, Board Chair of the Blackhouse Foundation. Held in the TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood, McQueen spoke primarily about his latest film while touching on a few of his own personal goals and beginnings. McQueen was welcomed by a patient (the program began 30 minutes behind schedule with many fans standing for more than an hour in line) and enthusiastic crowd who gave him a standing ovation upon his introduction. The following are the evening's highlights:
"It always starts with a crayon and a piece of paper, doesn't it?"
After McQueen graciously thanked the audience for their warm reception ("My heart is big and swollen. Thank you very much."), moderator Brickson Diamond wasted no time digging into the director's roots. McQueen said he began his artistic career by drawing. "For me, I was very lucky I could draw. From a very young age, I could draw and through that sort of evolution from painting to cinema...it was just that kind of procession." He said he discovered film around the age of 17 and spent much of his free time in theaters watching the classics. "It gave me the opportunity to view the world," McQueen said.
"I wanted to make a film about slavery."
"I had this idea of a free man from the North who was dragged into slavery, and we the audience follow him as he tries to regain his freedom," McQueen said when discussing the film's origins. That script "wasn't going so well" and McQueen's wife suggested he look into true accounts of slavery for help. He found "12 Years a Slave" and became obsessed. "When I read it, it was, of course, a revelation for me because I didn't know Solomon Northup. I was asking myself, 'Why?' I was quite embarrassed and thought I was quite stupid. Then I realized no one I knew was aware of this book." McQueen began the adaptation process, and the rest is history--both America's and cinema's.
"This is the Anne Frank diary of America."
McQueen became convinced of the story's historical significance quickly. "The whole idea of Anne Frank and Anne Frank's diary was so huge. It was required reading while I was in England. It upset me in the way, 'How did I know Anne Frank but I didn't know Solomon Northup?' I read '12 Years a Slave' and thought, 'This is the Anne Frank diary of America.'" At the end of the evening, McQueen said his main goal for the film was to get the novel into the national curriculum. "This has to be in the national curriculum. It's a non-brainer. That will be the legacy of Solomon Northup."
"There's no black and white, just America."
Diamond asked McQueen about the conversation he wanted to start when he chose to make "12 Years a Slave" as well as whether or not what he's actually been speaking about varies from the original goal at all. "This is not a passive movie," McQueen said. "It is a kind of call to arms, if only to call a friend to say that you are okay." Diamond mentioned how some white audiences might be too uncomfortable to watch the film, whether it be out of embarrassment or a conscious choice to avoid the subject. "It's part of history, and it's their history, too," McQueen said. "It's not exclusively black. The most interesting aspect is if you look at Solomon Northup's current family. There were two daughters and one son, Alonzo. Alonzo's strain went white and the other strain, of course, remained black. So when you see the family photograph of Solomon's current family, it is America. Black, white, tall, short, fat. That's America. There is no black and white, just America."
"I just do it."
When asked about how he makes the movies he wants to make the way he wants to make them, McQueen had a simple answer. "I don't talk. I don't think. I just do it." Diamond pressed him to give some advice to other filmmakers on how to "just do it," and McQueen remained firm with his advice. "You're over thinking. Do it. It's hard work. Of course there will be obstacles in your way, but don't talk about it. Just get on with it."
"That's the power of cinema."
McQueen was asked to provide an example of a reaction to the movie he cherished, and his choice could not have been more poignant. "We went to Orlando to the National Black Media Conference. The film wasn't even shown. What happened was we showed a couple of clips as a junket. There were maybe 200 people in the room, and this lady stood up and said she's never said this before in public, but her grandfather was poisoned for teaching kids how to read in the [slave quarters]. She had just come to terms with it. She only found out about 10 years ago, and the fact that she could vocalize that pain in front of everyone was because of the movie. It gave her a platform. She was allowed to have a voice. That's the power of cinema."

The two feuding woman on the bachelor are obviously an intentional plant for drama. No man that saw how the cry baby is acting would want to get involved. The blond is hiding her evil with a big smile.

What's On TV Tonight? – 10/31/2012
It's Halloween night! Luckily, if you haven't got any plans, there's a veritable wealth of programming to suit your needs.
NICK'S PICK: The X Factor ("Auditions #5") – Yes, FOX has moved the first live show up a day, pretty much ensuring that if you don't watch FOX constantly or come to sites like these, you're in for a cruel surprise on Thursday when you discover that you've pretty much missed the top 16 take the stage for the first time. It's easily my favorite singing competition on TV, and if nothing else, I still think this show has a better chance of finding a viable mainstream star than anyone who's ever won The Voice. Unless Dez Duron wins The Voice, in which case, forget I ever said anything. (FOX)
Animal Practice ("Wingmen") – At this point, it feels like NBC is just burning off the remaining episodes it's committed to airing. To be fair to the network, this week doesn't sound too promising, as George treats a cockatoo that can't lay off the chocolate, while Dorothy plans a movie night in which only Yamamoto shows up. Riveting? (NBC)
Arrow ("An Innocent Man") – While looking into a suspicious murder case, Oliver realizes that one of his targets framed an innocent man; Walter asks an employee to investigate a large withdrawal that Moira made without his knowledge. Should have gotten LifeLock, brah. (The CW)
Survivor: Philippines ("Not the Only Actor on the Island") – In a development that surprises no one, the two tribes merge. As all hell presumably breaks loose, contestants try to solidify their positions while Lisa is confronted about her past. Whoever had "Lisa's past gets outed before Jeff's" in the betting pool, step forward to collect your prize. (CBS)
It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! If you're in the mood for a classic, you really can't go wrong with the Peanuts gang. Sure, it can occasionally be cruel to see Linus disbelieved, and Charlie getting nothing but rocks, but it sure beats the Sadie Hawkins Day special, It's Time to Compromise and Ask Out Lucy, Charlie Brown! (ABC)
Guys With Kids ("The Bathroom Incident") – Gary gets Emily's help organizing his apartment; Freddie and Ernie lock themselves in the bathroom; the guys talk to Nick about his lack of preparation. As a fellow Nick, I can totally identify. (NBC)
The Neighbors ("Larry Bird and the Iron Throne") – Any show with a Game of Thrones reference in its episode title (Bunheads, I'm looking at you!) is aces, in my book. This week, Jackie tries to help Debbie plan Abby's birthday; Larry shadows Lenny at work; Reggie tries to find a gift for Amber. Doesn't sound terribly compelling, but then sitcom synopses never do: and hey, ABC must see something in the show, since they've just ordered a full season it.
Law & Order: SVU ("Friending Emily") – Rollins reconnects with her sister, while the investigation into a girl's disappearance leads to a high-tech kidnapper who uses the Internet to cover his tracks. Not terribly unlike how husbands delete their own pornographic search history. (NBC)
Criminal Minds ("The Good Earth") – When four men from Oregon go missing, the team looks for a common link; J.J. is upset when her son doesn't want to celebrate Halloween. I guess the episode must be good if it's titled after one of the greatest novels ever written, even if the connection isn't readily apparent. Right? (CBS)
Modern Family ("Yard Sale") – Jay and Gloria host a yard sale to help with a school fundraiser; Mitch and Cam vet Alex's new friend; Manny finds a trunk full of secrets. Sounds vaguely like the plot to An Indian in the Cupboard. Not that there's anything wrong with that. (ABC)
Supernatural ("Blood Brother") – After Benny is brutally attacked by vampires, he calls Dean for help; Sam reflects on the life with Amelia he left behind. Sounds like a case for Kirk Cameron. (The CW)
Suburgatory ("Ryan's Song") – Feeling guilty about keeping the truth from Ryan, Lisa agrees to help him with Tessa; Dallas invites her life coach along on her first date with George; Tessa baby-sits with Opus. A character named Opus? That's seriously tremendous. Seriously, no sarcasm. (ABC)
Nashville ("We Live In Two Different Worlds") – The arrival of a woman from Teddy's past tests his marriage; Rayna and Deacon perform at Teddy's fundraiser; Gunnar connects with his publisher's assistant; Juliette appears on "Good Morning America", because sometimes you just have to set the record straight about why you shoplifted a bottle of nail polish in front of a group of camera-phoning teenage girls for no discernible reason. (ABC)
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation ("Play Dead") – A K-9 is blamed for his partner's death, but the team uncovers more details about the case; a high-profile divorce attorney with a lot of enemies is murdered. An attorney with a host of enemies? Surely, this is some kind of joke. (CBS)
Chicago Fire ("One Minute") – Chief Boden faces accusations that he abandoned a homeless man to die in a warehouse fire; Severide helps an elderly woman; Detective Voight tries to convince Casey not to testify against his son; Shay has to face her ex during a call. It's bad enough encountering an ex at Applebee's, much less bumping into them while on call. Gross. (NBC)
South Park ("A Scause for Applause") – A scandal has shaken everyone's beliefs, causing them to begin cutting off their yellow support wristbands. Hey now, a doping scandal is no reason to go damaging a perfectly good 'Live Strong' bracelet. Think of the novelty resale value! (Comedy Central)
Key & Peele ("Season 2, Episode 6″) – Jordan and Keegan celebrate Halloween by fleeing racist zombies; the stars of "Human Centipede" have a frightening reunion; a struggling public wizard school. I always knew my town was hiding a poor man's Hogwarts up in here. (Comedy Central)
Conan has Chelsea Handler (programming against her own show?), actor Nat Faxon, and music by NEEDTOBREATHE. (TBS, 11:00 PM EST)
Over on Chelsea Lately, John C. Reilly is promoting the film "Wreck-It Ralph"; other guests include: Brody Stevens; Loni Love; Gary Valentine. (11:00 PM EST, E!)

"A marvelous account… magnificently sung, alluring to the eye and staged with intelligence and flair." —San Francisco Chronicle
"Both sweetly funny and touchingly poignant." —Contra Costa Times
In 1790 Mozart and Lorenzo Da Ponte broke tradition by writing an opera based not on theater or literature but on a rumored tale of love, jealousy, human weakness and forgiveness.
Don Alfonso tells his young friends that, like all women, their fiancees can't be faithful. In an attempt to test the lovely ladies' fidelity, the gentlemen pretend to be shipped off to war, then return in disguise. The women fall in love-but not with the right partners!
This charming production, by designer Robert Perdziola and director John Cox, hailing from Monte Carlo, brings the world of the passionate young lovers to life.
About the Ticket Supplier: San Francisco Opera
A leader among international opera companies for nine decades, San Francisco Opera was founded in 1923 by Gaetano Merola (1881–1953). Merola and his successor as general director, Kurt Herbert Adler, established a formidable institution heralded for its first-rate productions and roster of international opera stars. The landmark War Memorial Opera House has been the Company's home since October 15, 1932.
After Adler's tenure, the Company was led by Terence A. McEwen (1982–1988), Lotfi Mansouri (1988–2001), and Pamela Rosenberg (2001–2005). In January 2006 David Gockley became the Opera's sixth general director after more than 30 years at the helm of Houston Grand Opera. That May, Gockley took opera to the center of the community with a free outdoor simulcast of Puccini's Madama Butterfly. Subsequent simulcasts, including nine at AT&T Park, have collectively drawn nearly 200,000 opera fans. Created in 2007 the Koret-Taube Media Suite has enabled the Company to produce simulcasts and other projects including OperaVision (screens providing HD close-up shots for patrons in balcony seats), the Grand Opera Cinema Series in theaters and performing arts centers, an annual series of KQED telecasts and releases of DVDs and Blu-Rays of recent performances. Regular San Francisco Opera radio broadcasts returned to national and international airwaves in 2007.
Italian conductor Nicola Luisotti, one of the opera world's most exciting conductors, has been music director since the fall of 2009.

Ouch! We thought we had a rough game this past week. I wonder if we are recruiting anyone at Naples?
ESTERO, Fla. - The Estero High football staff gathered in head coach Rich Dombroski's office late Friday, almost in stunned silence.
Earlier that night, Estero lost to Naples High by 13. Not by 13 points. By 13 touchdowns. That's right: Naples 91, Estero 0.
I would also like to know more about these games, how is it even possible:
According to the National Federation of State High School Associations, five teams have scored more than 200 points in a game, with the record believed to be 256 by Haven (Ky.) High in 1927.
Rivals High - 91-0 game tough for both teams
Rivals High - 91-0 game tough for both teams
Sounds like the winning team wasn't even trying and still had that much.
Wow. I wonder if you kept Valley or Johnston's best the whole game, if they could beat Hoover 91-0?
I remember playing for Davenport North in 1996, if it weren't for the 50-point "mercy" rule I'm pretty sure both Bettendorf and Davenport Assumption could have put that kind of whoopin' to us and barely break a sweat.

"Success is just failure that hasn't happened yet." - life advice from Latrell Spreewell
Ha. I also just read that parents of the wining team were mad their kids weren't left in for more stats.
My old high school's team lost their game this past weekend by like 74-0. I was pretty embarrassed for them.

I was at a game last Friday night(non varsity prelim game). 75-0. Winning team ran QB sneek 6 times in a row and then did the victory formation 4 times in a row to keep from scoring again.

One of our games in high school we were up 35-0 and had only ran 4 offensive plays. Our freshman played most of the 2nd quater and we won 70-0 at half when the game was called. There are some bad teams out there.

I remember being up 49-0 at half against hoover. We threw the JV team in and we won 49-21.....we must not have had a lot of depth.
As a Pleasantville grad, I am a firm believer in running up the score. That winning team was not running up the score. They scored 13 TD's and only kicked for the PAT instead of going for 2 each time.
Quit crying and play some defense.

HOLIDAY HOST: Butler will face a
first-time visitor for the second consecutive game when it hosts
Stanford in a non-league test on Saturday, Dec. 18. The game
will tip at 2:05 p.m. (ET) and will be nationally-televised on
CBS. Butler snapped a two-game skid and improved to 5-4 on
the season with a 91-71 win over Mississippi Valley State on
Saturday (Dec. 11). It was the first visit by the Delta
Devils to Butler's historic Hinkle Fieldhouse. Stanford
(6-2) also is making its first visit to Butler's
homecourt. The contest is the first of a two-game contract,
which will send the Bulldogs to California next season. Stanford,
boasting a three-game winning streak, is the first Pac-10 team to
play in Hinkle Fieldhouse since 1965, when USC made the long trek
to Butler's homecourt. The Stanford game will be
Butler's final home contest of 2010. The Bulldogs will
close out the year in Hawaii at the 2010 Diamond Head Classic,
which begins on Wednesday, Dec.
Butler began 2010 with an 80-67 victory at home over Milwaukee.
TV FIRST: Stanford won't be the only first-time visitor to Butler's homecourt on Saturday. CBS will be broadcasting a game from Hinkle Fieldhouse for the first time. Greg Gumbel will handle play-by-play duties on the telecast, while Greg Anthony will be the analyst. Butler has had nine appearances on CBS during the NCAA Tournament over the past three seasons.
HOME TURF: The Bulldogs, who were 15-0 in Hinkle Fieldhouse a year ago, improved to 3-1 at home this season with their victory over Mississippi Valley State. Butler was 30-2 at home in the previous two seasons and had a 17-game homecourt winning streak, prior to an overtime loss to Evansville on Nov. 27. The Bulldogs are 47-4 at home in four seasons under head coach Brad Stevens.
FAMILIAR SURROUNDINGS: Butler is averaging 82.5 points and yielding 62.8 points in four home games this season. In five games away from Hinkle Fieldhouse, Butler is averaging 65.4 points and giving up 68.2. The Bulldogs are shooting .448 from the field and .798 from the free throw line in the Fieldhouse this season.
LAST TIME OUT: Butler rebounded from back-to-back losses to No. 1 Duke and Xavier to post its highest point total of the season in a 91-71 victory over Mississippi Valley State at Hinkle Fieldhouse. The Bulldogs bolted to a 48-25 advantage by halftime and then held off the hot-shooting Delta Devils with 43 more points in the second half. The visitors shot 58% (18-31) in the final period and 51% (27-53) for the game but were unable to get closer than 20 points in the final 20 minutes. All 14 Butler players saw action in the game, and 12 Bulldogs broke into the scoring column. Senior forward Matt Howard led all players with a season-high 26 points, while junior Shelvin Mack added a dozen. Mississippi Valley State, which led just once at 3-2, was topped by Terrence Joyner and Kevin Burwell with 13 points apiece.
POINTING UP: Senior Matt Howard led the Bulldogs in scoring for the fifth time in the last six games with 26 points against Mississippi Valley State. It was the highest scoring total for the 6-8 forward since he tallied a career-high 30 points against Loyola during his sophomore season. Howard hit seven of 10 shots from the field and 12 of 13 from the free throw line in Butler's win over Mississippi Valley State. He also had four rebounds and season-highs of three assists and two blocked shots in the victory.
Matt Howard is averaging 16.8 points in Hinkle Fieldhouse this season.
BALANCING ACT: Butler head coach Brad Stevens used his entire roster against Mississippi Valley State, and only two Bulldogs (forward Matt Howard and guard Shelvin Mack) played more than 23 minutes. The Bulldogs scored a season-high 91 points, despite having only two players reach double-figures. Seven different players contributed to 29 bench points for the Bulldogs, led by freshman Chrishawn Hopkins with six.
Butler has nine players averaging 11 or more minutes per game.
CHARITABLE SEASON: For the second straight game, the Bulldogs were "red-hot" at the free throw line. Butler hit 15 of its first 17 free throw attempts against Mississippi Valley State and a season-best 29 of 32 (.906) for the game. The Bulldogs finished the contest by connecting on their final 12 attempts from the charity stripe. Eight different players contributed to Butler's success at the line, led by senior Matt Howard's 12 of 13 shooting. One game earlier, the Bulldogs made their first 16 free throw attempts at Xavier, before finishing the game with a 16 of 18 (.889) effort.
Butler leads the Horizon League in team free throw shooting (.736).
HANDLE WITH CARE: Butler matched its season-low with just six turnovers against Mississippi Valley State. The Bulldogs didn't commit their first turnover until 4:40 remained in the first half, and Butler had just two turnovers in the first 20 minutes. Butler also had just six turnovers against Marian.
Butler is second in the Horizon League in fewest turnovers per game (11.6).
CLOSING IN: Senior Matt Howard stands in the No. 11 spot on Butler's all-time scoring list with 1,482 career points. He needs three points to catch Jon Neuhouser (1994-08) in the No. 10 spot on the all-time list. Howard has moved into the No. 10 position on Butler's all-time rebounding list with 660 career rebounds. Three former players (Chad Tucker, Lynn Mitchem and Darren Fowlkes) currently rank in Butler's all-time "Top 10" for both scoring and rebounding.
SCORING CLIMB: Junior Shelvin Mack became the 33rd Butler player to score 1,000 career points, during the Bulldogs' game against Evansville. He enters this weekend's game against Stanford in 30th place on Butler's all-time scoring chart with 1,051 career points, 35 points behind Avery Sheets (2002-06) in 29th place on the Bulldogs' career chart.
EARLY CHALLENGES: Xavier, a "Sweet 16" team a year ago, was the fourth team Butler has faced this season from last year's NCAA Tournament. The Bulldogs also have played Louisville, Siena and defending national champ Duke, all away from Hinkle Fieldhouse. The Bulldogs could face a couple more NCAA Tournament teams next week in Hawaii with Florida State and Baylor in the Diamond Head Classic field.

Hey everyone,
I'm new to the site. Got into biking this year to lose a little weight (actually a ton of it) - down 70 lbs in 5 months. Ride a Trek mountain bike, typically 20-30 miles at a time, about 15 mph avg, 2-3 times per week, and mostly on the San Gabriel River. Been trying out different trails in So Cal, mostly flat.
I think I want to move to a road bike. Interested in learning about the differences. Will I be able to go that much faster or further? Will it be that much easier? How does price play into the mix? Budget is $1000 or less. Should I go with a used bike, or buy new? Just interested in hearing everyone's experiences.
Also interested in knowing differences among Giant, Trex, Cannondale, Lemond, etc. roadbikes. Which are your favorites and why? Would it make that much of a difference to a 290 lb guy who's trying to get to 230? Or am I jumping the gun on the price/performance curve? How do the new aerodynamic "Teardrop" shaped frames compare to the conventional steel frame? Is a steel frame a bad thing, or should I only go aluminum? (- cant afford titanium!)
Are there major differences in Gear ratios? etc. How about smaller framed bikes versus more traditional large frame bikes? I'm 6'2" about 31-32 inch inseam. Is there a typical frame size for someone that height?
Anyway, I figure by now, I've scared everyone away with all the questions. Good news is I dont talk much when I ride! So, if your ever on the San Gabriel River between Whittier Narrows Dam or the River's End Cafe in Seal Beach (where I have breakfast a couple times a week), be on the lookout for me. I always nod, or say "good morning" - but that's about it! I'm the guy in the T-shirt and regular shorts. No fancy bike clothes...yet.
Happy riding!
= Gus

A state audit rips Lynnwood's elected officials for spending millions in reserves in 2009 and leaving the city in precarious financial shape.
A state audit released Monday rips the city of Lynnwood's elected officials for spending millions in reserves in 2009 and leaving the city in precarious financial shape.
The audit follows months of finger-pointing between the City Council and Mayor Don Gough over who bears responsibility for deficits that could result in January layoffs for 102 employees — including 25 police officers — if new taxes or employee concessions aren't agreed upon.
"I have zero confidence in the ability of this council and this mayor to address this disaster," said Mark Brinkman, president of the Lynnwood Police Officers Guild.
The report by the office of state Auditor Brian Sonntag found that Lynnwood officials blew through a $6.1 million general-fund balance in 2008 to end with a negative $115,733 balance in 2009. The city also exhausted its $2 million reserve fund and borrowed $3 million from its utility fund to pay for daily operating expenses.

In spending down its reserves, the city violated its own policy that requires a minimum of $4 million be left each year in the general fund. The audit concludes that Lynnwood's deficit spending puts it "at risk of not being able to meet all of its financial obligations."
City officials said the sharp drop in sales-tax revenues has been felt by cities across the state and nation.
The city has adopted new utility taxes on water, electricity, gas and sewers, instituted a hiring freeze and transferred other city funds to make up a projected $5.5 million gap this year.
"The 2010 picture is much better than 2009," said Interim Finance Director Patrick Dugan.
Not known is whether the city will approve additional taxes to make up a projected $22 million shortfall over the 2011-2012 biennium, or balance the budget through other measures that could include employee furlough days and wage concessions, or deep cuts to staff.
Gough's final budget proposal will be released Monday.
Brinkman said the Police Department would lose 43 positions, including 25 officers out of 78, under the preliminary budget proposal.
Brinkman said the Guild is currently negotiating with the city over wage concessions, but even if officers gave up a scheduled 4.5 percent pay increase in 2011 and step increases, the savings to the city would be only $276,000.
The Parks Department is facing cuts of 32 employees, including 11 full-time jobs, said Director Lynn Sordel. That will hit the senior center, as well as programs for preschool, youth and adults.
Councilman Jim Smith said that public safety should be a priority and other programs, including parks, should be cut first. He suggested not opening the city's new $25 million recreation center, scheduled to be completed in April, as an alternative to laying off police.

Dan Bickley's best moments from the season
Rory McIlroy's performance was so skillful and poised, it appeared the PGA Tour had finally found its next Tiger. Alas, McIlroy drifted into the background, like they all do. And it's safe to assume tour officials are praying for a huge bounce-back season from Woods in 2012.
NASCAR recently witnessed the unthinkable: Jimmie Johnson won five consecutive Cup titles and somehow bored the audience to tears. But Smoke's bold rally in 2011, including pugnacious driving and relentless trash-talking down the stretch, was exactly what the sagging sport needed, and will go down as one of the mythical performances in racing history.
The Green Bay Packers are a special franchise. They are a storied small-market team, a beacon of hope in the socialistic NFL. They are owned by the community and deeply proud of their Cheesehead persona. They are the best in the business once again, and the last time they lost a playoff game, Kurt Warner was working his magic in Glendale.
In Hollywood fashion, Jeter reached a treasured milestone by going 5-for-5, including a home run for his 3,000th hit. And then Jeter stuck it to Arizona by blowing off the All-Star Game, at a time when his appearance would've been a cause for celebration. Maybe it was payback from 2001.
Mark Cuban decided to mute himself during the playoffs, and his team responded by smoking the Lakers and eventually winning a NBA championship. It was the first title for Jason Kidd and Shawn Marion, formers Suns fixtures who only found futility in Phoenix.
In Newton's first appearance in Glendale, he led the Auburn Tigers to a BCS title. And then Newton returned to Glendale, after months of criticism and speculation, he shredded the Cardinals defense in his NFL debut, offering glimpses of the star to come.
The last night of the regular season was incredible. So were the playoffs. And when the Cardinals rallied to win the World Series, saving their manager from a career-defining gaffe, Tony La Russa knew it was time to walk away.
Junker was once the happy face of college football in the Valley. After a scandal that rocked college football, he's volunteering at a homeless shelter and possibly facing prison time. It's a sad ending for a man who did a lot of good in his time.
The Diamondbacks manager shook the softness out of his team, changing the culture of a losing clubhouse. But he didn't do it with fire and gruff. He did it with conviction, consistency and intelligence few believed he possessed. Rarely has a manager been so impactful.
An iconic coach fell from grace. A former assistant became the face of evil. The awful allegations at Penn State triggered a similar investigation at Syracuse, and brought awareness to the horrible crimes of child abuse.

Painted Waves
buy it now or visit pattern website
An almost abstract pattern of waves in a tangle of dropped stitches - a challenging knit, with lace stitches on right side and wrong side rows and lots of dropped stitches to keep track of.
The sample was knit on 3.25mm/US3 needles with a half set, 320yds/300m of the fabulously saturated shades of colorshift yarn in the Peacock Blue to Hot Pink color bridge colorway. It's a small summer scarf, measuring approximately 17in/43cm wide by 45in/114cm long.
A project worked with a full set (640yds/600m) of the yarn and a 138st CO will measure approximately 26in/66cm wide by 57in/145cm long.
The chart is quite big due to the asymmetric repeat of the wave motif.

|Dragons take down Eagles
|Written by Chris Lee
Following the snow storm that blew through the area and canceled school Friday, Feb. 3, the Dragons weren't real sure if they would be playing basketball Saturday afternoon Feb. 4 or not.
Coach Scott Dille said the team didn't find out until around 9:30 a.m. Saturday morning that the game was going to happen. However, they were very hopeful Friday night as both the Holyoke and Wray administrations wanted to play if at all possible.
Once the superintendents of Holyoke and Wray decided the roads were good enough for travel, it was game on Saturday in Holyoke. When all was said and done, Holyoke earned a nice 56-42 win over the Eagles.
Friday night, the boys' basketball team was scheduled to host Burlington but the game was postponed due to the snow storm that dropped large amounts of snow on the ground making travel hard.
The game is scheduled to be made up Monday night, Feb. 13 in Holyoke.
Dille felt the messed up schedule may have played a factor in the slow start the Dragons had Saturday against Wray.

The Eagles held a 12-6 advantage after the opening quarter. That lead didn't last long however as the Dragons stormed back and hung 21 on the board while holding the Eagles to just four points.
Dille felt the last few minutes of the first and the entire second quarter was about as well as the team has played in a while.
The Eagles added 20 third-quarter points while Holyoke scored 17.
Dille said he was proud of the bench play Saturday night. He said everyone that entered the game did exactly what they needed to do to help the team to victory.
Scoring slowed in the final quarter with the Dragons earning 12 points to Wray's six.
Reid Baumgartner led the team with 19 points. Logan Tharp was the only other Dragon in double digits with 13.
Upcoming boys' basketball action
Holyoke was scheduled to host Dundy County, Neb. Tuesday, Feb. 7 and Haxtun Thursday, Feb. 9.
The postponed Burlington game will be played Monday, Feb. 13 in Holyoke. Girls' varsity and boys' junior varsity will play at 4:30 p.m. while the boys' varsity and girls' junior varsity will begin at 6 p.m.

From Subaru to Chrysler, the trend's being seen throughout the city. Used car sales remain steady. Dealers credit the rapid new car sales with continued low interest rates and a growing economy in the Yakima Valley.
"I think in Yakima, as well as the rest of the country, consumer confidence is growing as our economy continues to grow," said Jim Peterson, Lee Peterson Motors general manager.
Lee Peterson Motors says it estimates new car sales are growing at an average of 15 to 20 percent each year.

Kylie Jenner may be the current Keeping Up With The Kardashians queen of racy Twitter selfies, but her older sister obviously is also eager to show off her assets. Following through on her recent penchant for skin-baring snapshots, Kendall Jenner posed topless in an exclusive photo shoot for Interview Magazine.
Kendall Jenner's recent photo shoot for Vogue Paris was surprisingly tasteful, but it was only a matter of time before the reality star returned with a more scandalous series of images. Such was the case the other day, when Interview Magazine revealed several photos from Kendall's latest shoot.
The latest pictures are no more racy than several of Kendall's past modeling appearances; who could forget the Facebook uproar that occurred after the reality star showed off her nipples during New York Fashion Week? That being said, it still comes as a bit of a shock for longtime Keeping Up With The Kardashians to see the once gawky preteen posing topless.
In addition to posing for the camera, Kendall took some time out of her busy schedule to talk about her rise to runway stardom. The model admitted, "To be honest, this is exactly what I wanted to be. I was always looking up to supermodels. They were, like, my superheroes."
The celeb added that, without constant motivation from her parents, she never would have been able to achieve her dream of becoming a model. "My parents brought Kylie and me up to be workaholics. That's something I really appreciate."
What do you think of Kendall Jenner's topless photo? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments section below!

All students should dress as wholesome young ladies and gentlemen. Because of different body builds and personal likes and dislikes, it is difficult to state specifically what may or may not be worn. The final authority on proper attire at Three Rivers High School will be with the administration. Subject to the educational process, the appearance of students at school is a responsibility that rests primarily with the parents of the students. The school becomes involved in that responsibility when the total appearance of the student's body directly affects the attitude, safety, health, behavior, and learning environment of the school. Individual cases not covered by the guideline will be acted upon in accordance with the discretion of the administration.
The school dress code applies to students when they are at any school related function, home or away, with the following exception. Caps with bills facing forward, may be worn to sporting events. The sponsors of the group will determine dress for field trips.
Students who violate dress and grooming standards established by the district will be required to correct the infraction when appropriate change of clothes is brought to the student. During the wait time, the student will report to ISS.
The students in high school shall adhere to the following standard of dress and grooming:
1. Students shall come to school looking clean and neat and wearing clothing and exhibiting grooming that shall not be a distraction or health and safety hazard to the student or others.
2. The district prohibits pictures, emblems, or writings on clothing or jewelry that are lewd, offensive, vulgar, or obscene or that depict or advertise tobacco products, alcoholic beverages of any kind, drugs, or any substance prohibited under policy FNCF (Local) and prohibits any dress or grooming that, in the administration's judgment, may reasonably be expected to interfere with normal school operations.
3. Clothing and jewelry that depict death, drugs, violence, occult, witchcraft, or gang involvement are prohibited. Leather collars, choke collars, necklaces with dog-like chain links or spikes, are not allowed. Any clothing or articles that are determined as gang affiliated by the administration will not be allowed.
4. Sleepwear, loungewear, house shoes, and beachwear of any kind are prohibited.
5. Pant length must not exceed the heel of the shoe. Pant hems cannot be frayed or torn. Pants also include jeans. Pants may not have any holes above the knees, including patched holes.
6. Fatigues and pants with leg pockets below the knee are not acceptable. All pants must be worn at the waist.
7. All shirts, tops, and blouses must have set-in sleeves. Blouses, tops, and shirts must cover the shoulders, back, front and sides to the waist at all times. The principal may require a student to tuck in a shirt if it is of excessive length.
8. Excessively baggy clothing (especially pants) is not allowed. The seat of the pants must not hang down. Excessively tight clothing (especially tops) is not allowed. It must fit appropriately to the body. Baggy and tight is determined by the administration.
9. Any head gear (including caps, hats, bandanas, or knit caps) may not be worn in the school building during school hours by boys or girls.
10. Shorts are permitted if they are not shorter than 6 inches above the floor without any adjustment when kneeling. The shorts must have a zipper and pockets. The shorts must be of a pant-weight material. The length rule also applies to skirts.
11. Abnormal colored hair is prohibited. Hair coloring or dyeing of hues that cause a distraction is prohibited. Hair art is prohibited.
12. No visible body piercing jewelry, except for earrings on girls, is allowed.
13. Tattoos are not permitted. Students with tattoos must cover them at all times.
14. All students are to wear appropriate footwear while in attendance to class or to any school function or activity, unless otherwise approved by the administration.
Additional Rules for Girls:
1. The basic attire for girls shall be dress, or blouse/top worn with slacks, Capri pants, jeans, shorts, or split skirts of the proper length and material.
2. If shirts are layered, the top shirt must have sleeves and be buttoned except for the top two buttons.
3. Specifically prohibited are tops with see-through material, tank tops, or tops that expose the midriff at any time. Immodest necklines are not allowed.
4. Leggings, leotards, tights, exercise tights, leisurewear, or other hosiery type leggings may not be worn as pants. They may be worn with dresses or skirts that are of the proper length.
5. Chain-linked ear jewelry and visible body piercing other than earrings are prohibited.
6. Distracting make-up is not allowed.
7. Any other types of dress, wearing apparel, or hairstyle that, in the judgment of the administration, may not be conducive to the purposes of the school, will not be allowed.

1. Hair must not be longer than the bottom of the collar in the back, to the eyebrows in the front, and/or to the middle of the ear. Sideburns may not extend beyond the bottom of the ear.
2. Beards, mustaches, long sideburns, and any other type of facial hair is prohibited. The face must be free of all facial hair.
3. If shirts are layered, the top shirt must have sleeves and be buttoned except for the top two buttons.

Great business lunch. Beautiful veranda at the back, excellent service and exquisite wine.
I was a tiny bit disappointed by the food for this kind of restaurant. My foie gras was quite cold when it arrived and the "side" (accompagnement in French) too sweet. The main was great, really well done on the tuna, but also the side was not the best, too salty and tiny (vegetables spaghetti)....more
I started with the Hay Smoked Duck, followed by the Lamb Rump for the main course. The duck was good but the lamb was most excellent and very satisfying. The service is also impeccable.

A great French restaurant just down Camden Passage near Angel station and something of a institution in the area. Over the years it has had many incarnations and the current one is pretty beautiful with a vaulted atrium like area in the back and great service making an evening here feel special.

Apple Weakness Now Apparent To Other's Besides BoomBustBloggers
Now that the weakness in Apple is apparent to all, and not just BoomBustBlog subscribers.... AAPL priced relative to the SPY... looking for this 4 year trend to break for the aapl story to be over as a market out-performer.
AAPL relative weekly rising wedge
My next post on this topic will answer the obvious quetion, "Is it now time to short Apple?" - as I release the content from or updated Apple model. This will be some very, very good stuff and well worth the subscription rate.
Unique, Indpendent and Accurate Apple Research
- advertisements -
lol, ZH and Reggie aren't the smartest people to follow if you want to make a buck on the trading ticket.
French CAC went up 25% in first 6 months of 2012; and now Apple has made those who believed in it richer by bucket loads since lst three years; aka when the world collapsed to March 2009 low.
Well all things come to an end; is all one can say.
Alright Reggie, I finally agree with you regarding Apple weakness. Hold, not sell.
You will recall years ago (has it been two?) that I called the nonsense on ZH with AAPL at 625, which was absolutely unheard of at $385. Yet here we are (again). Right?
I hate to be right twice on your space, but GOOG is showing considerable weakness, too. Where? GOOG CANNOT AFFORD TO LET 3RD PARTY CARRIERS CONTINUE TO BASTARDIZE THE DROID OS, WHICH THEY REFUSE TO REIGN IN.
Those of you that made your year (or 5) can thank this anonymous later.
Short everything in this "market" mountain of Bernanke shit and you too can make momo money.
Wow! This is like a gold-bug forum where someone has recommended shorting gold after a $700 move! The hostility is beyond belief. You Apple-lover-worshippers are like the gold bugs of 1980. They could never accept that a top was in and rode it all the way to $300, every day spouting off yesterday's reasons for staying long. Sad.
What's with that apostrophe in the title? Remedial education call.
i believe that apple is overbought and that its price has plateaued.....its phone technology is 1-2 years behind the tech leaders and is earning premium pricing on its products due to halo and legacy effects.....its price should drop markedly but is too early to short.....give it 3-6 months for the best shorting opportunities....many funds have had a fun ride and will be happy to leave the late comers holding the bag...
its phone technology is 1-2 years behind the tech leaders
You are so full of it.
...not to mention Hong Kong sold out of iphone 5's.
Apple follows the NASDAQ100 nicely.
The NASDAQ100 works well as a confirmation tool for Apple and other majors for that matter.
As for Reggie, I'm sure his call at the time, was based on technical and fundamental. However, for you lovers of apple, today would be as good a time as any to buy that "dip"!
Bet with your hearts!...APPLE PRODUCT LOVER!!
Me again. Came back just to set straigt the false claims against Reggie that I wrote.. He didn warn about Apple at 400 bucks. He warned about Apple far below 400 bucks. lmao. And he has balls to boast his predictions? that's what I call BALLS..
Important News Bulletin: Steve Jobs, the Columbus of Cupertino, has passed on.
Apple is not Apple without Steve Jobs.
Newton or ROKR anyone?
Where would appl be if the fed werent "the market" the last 4 years?
The point is that the Fed IS the market, so a much better question is 'where would you be ,if you really listened to MiddleDown and shortened Apple at 450 USD ?'
this dude MiddleDown has no shame. Yes, Reggie, we remember you were warning us since Apple was 400 bucks . Thank you so much! Can I leave an additional tip for your paid premium research?
Even the most stupid must now realise they have been taken for a ride by Apple
Tsk tsk Reggie, even a broken clock is right twice a day. The fact that anyone pays for your "research" just supports PT Barnum's maxim that there's a sucker born every minute. From what I've seen on interviews, Reggie can't even articulate proper English, much less provide credible analysis.
If you folk had had listened to this blithering non-entity, you would have missed the epic tear Apple has been on this year. Reminds me of that other genius, Doug Kass, who was calling for shorting Apple when it $90 a share (how'd that work out).
Fortunately, I bought in 1997, with a cost basis of $16, so I'm not particularly concerned. Apple is the reason I'll be retiring before the age of 40.
Graduated from lawschool at the age of 23 and worked for a top law Manhattan law firm. Before then worked two out of the three years I was in law school at that same law firm and also worked my way through college. So, yes, I had money at 25. I wasn't rich, but I had a low debt burden and money to invest.
Ya... that would be ME Reggie. I was short AAPL before you were even A Twinkle In Your Mama's Eye.
January should be great (an illusion). After that, bottomless pit.
As mentioned previously, overextended AAPL weekly & monthly parabolic charts are at EXTREME levels.
This will end in tears and longs will be badly burnt.
Reggie should've replaced Obama (Obomber) in the debates.
Can U imagine Reggie debating that fucktard Mittens Romney? Reggie would've made him look like a 1st grader (no offence to 1st Graders as most are more economically astute than Romney..or Obomber).
I have no real desire to know about US politics but one thing that struck me after hearing (if true) that Romney/his wife was surprised that plane windows didn't open... even the 'elite' are a product of their own stoopidity lerning plans and they will breed themselves out of existence sooner or later because they won't know how to use any tools
Google is completeley CIA,
Steve Jobs was a transhumanist...
you do the math.
Reggie, you know I got love for you, and I don't give a shit what happens to AAPL, but shorting AAPL has proved dangerous, and with Bernanke jizzing all over the stock market I will bet shorting AAPL will remain dangerous.
Google = CIA
Apple sells products
Reggie promotes Google
Whom does Reggie truly report to and actively support???
Well considering they are both intel fronts who gives a shit.
Apple sells products, with Google, YOU are the product. Google OWNS your search results, your GOOGLE results, and your MAP searches. It has embedded itself with all U.S. telecoms with CIA/PROMIS software to spy on you, record you, intercept your calls, record you, save your voice patterns, etc. Apple has fought to keep the agencies and its tentacles away from the company, but no one can be free from the evil that permeates all that exists in the government.
Android is evil. Google is evil. Google is the Big Brother sleeper that has crept up and is helping to take away our freedoms. Just like the suckers who donate their private information on Facebook. And Reggie knows this and readily promotes the company. Apple wants profits for its shareholders while making overpriced yet quality products. The Android division of Google makes more money from the iPhone than from its Android phones - and that's fine with Google, the NSA and the Shadow Government. Forget about money trades and futures, we are dealing with a fight between good and evil right now...
Wasn't it Apple that was first detected to have a file in it's operating system that continually logged the precise GPS location of all users, then explained it as a marketing feature?
None of these 'smart' phone companies are serving our interests or protecting our privacy and public interests, they are all remote spying and tracking devices.
Why bother with implanted chips in chips on cards when they can structure society and law to make life too difficult to live without a smart phone, and to also remove all lower 'feature-set' phones from the market? Then at any moment you're only a mandatory software 'upgrade' away from totalitarian control and real time continuous surveillance. Can there really be any doubt this is where we are going with this "new and improved" smart-phone-warz bullshit? We are continually told it is cool and good for us.
Suuurrre it is.
At best these 'phones' serve is a slavery-enforcement technology. Don't believe it? Then turn it off and see if you remain 'employed', see how you start to get treated. Leave it off and see if you can then get a new 'job'. And when the Govt can't 'contact' you for awhile, see what starts to happen in your relations with it.
A thing is what it does. I know what a phone is, and these things are not that. We are being socially conditioned to buy and to pay more and more for these idiotic things, and people are being socially type-cast by whether they have bought the latest fucking gadget.
It is supreme cultural and social degeneracy.
DISCLAIMER: I have an android 'phone' and it is a piece of shit, I have also tried the 'iPhone' and it also is an irritating piece of shit. You do not want to buy either.
Professor Stephen Hawkings (2000)
"Imagine one day of having the ability to accomplish all your daily task anywhere and at anytime, without having to be at a particular location to achieve a certain task. In today's fast paced society people want unlimited flexibility and mobility. This is now mandatory for virtually every aspect of human progress. Almost everyone possesses a cellular telephone and the subscription number is expanding exponentially. One day we'll all be wireless and this a fact. One day we will be able to do almost everything by remote control with a multiple array of digital handheld devices. What are the implications for humanity? Who will benefit and who will suffer? These are the important questions that we as a society must seriously ask ourselves. We are all atomic and subatomic particles, and we are all wireless."
I bought an android device, with the hope it would allow me to send messages without feeling like sawing through my arm. After rooting it to throw off the worthless applications, I installed some more. 70% of the apps wanted me to agree to access personal data and location. Some of it even wanted me to pay for that. When leading design software packages are up to scratch for handheld devices, I might consider buying one again. Besides 'being online', and browsing information (when connencted), what is it used for? Messages and calls. It doesn't particularly help in that aspect.
...... with Google, YOU are the product
"If you are not paying for it, you're not the customer; you're the product being sold".
Apple has fought to keep the agencies and its tentacles away from the company
Yeah fucking right.
Lennon - for a guy that purports to "not give a shit" either way you spend alot of time giving a shit
maybe you should join Reggie sitting on the fence..
...oh, Reggie's just fallen off the fence (again), another Apple-hater series article dis-lodged his tenuous grasp of balance. Shame
While he's on the floor sweeping away Googles red ink Android he's now gotta smokescreen Google subsidising advertisers to keep their declining Ad revenue going
Cover-ups, smokescreens, deflecting the fiery sword of truth away from the all-too apparent truth of his beloved Google. The life of a shill is not an easy one
reggie congrats if it drops down another 400 pts it will be back to where you started warning about it.
says the avatar who sucks balls at trading lol
reggie did draft goog over appl on cnbc. gotta give him his kudos on that call! and im giving reggie kudos for not overly pounding his chest here on zero hedge about that. i did critisize reggie that on cnbc he should have said (being a bear) that it was a paired trade goog long appl short......so in a crash he would have had same outcome.
hope you made that trade, reggie, with your own funds....its time to take at least half of that profit off table
Meanwhile Tyler just ran a ZeroHedge article on the latest scam of Reggie's criminal pals at Google ...
A perspective quite deepened by Karl Denninger, who says that this latest 'deal offer' by the CIA's criminal Google monster, offering to 'finance' advertising that often doesn't work, is, according to Denninger:
« ... as dumb as it gets ... a desperation move » for Reggie's Google pals.
Apple stock is indeed pumped-up fluff, but the CIA's Google Inc. is a more insidious pile of sh*t, and deserves to have a much more devastating collapse.
Google needs to die and be replaced by non-CIA search engine competitors like Ixquick, which protect privacy and don't turn search data over to the US government ... while Apple at least has produced some bright fun toys.
Karl Denninger's piece, 'Time's Up!' about this leading indicator of the Google major decline:
Live Photo: Google Inc. Caught Censoring EU Search Results on US court corruption (for USA - CIA)
Google Internet Censorship - Censure d'Internet par Google - Internet censuur door Google
'Ex-Agent: CIA Seed Money Helped Launch Google', retired intelligence agent Robert David Steele interviewed by Paul Joseph Watson, and speaking of the CIA's Dr Rick Steinheiser and his connections with Google:
To search the internet without US government snooping you via Google:
infowars.com - are you kidding me? Now and then the national enquirer gets it right, so too with infowars, but usually not.
"« ... as dumb as it gets ... a desperation move » for Reggie's Google pals"
Not sure who's dumb: this is a way to earn a huge margin between Google's (near zero) funding rate and credit card rates. They get to count the clickthroughs, which should put them in a better position to spot which borrowers are failing than most providers of trade credit. (Near 100% margins on advertising also put them in a better position to absorb losses.)
Bank Guy - i just read today, increduously, the story at FT.com of GOOfball (and Amazon) now subsidising their own advertisers with low interest credit (debt)
the desperate acts of a drowning man (diseased dinosaurs)?
GOOnbubble are not only sinking in red ink with losses to get Android to Mobile Phone dominance, much to pay-off Competition Commissioners across the Western world for their anti-competitive, anti-commercial patently corrupt monopolistic biz practices
...but now, in another act of pure commercial desperation, subsidising advertisers to keep their Ad revenues going
where is Reggies "Fiery Sword of Truth" ???
getting fucking desperate around here, Reggie has been running 2 to 3 octaves above shrill for almost 12 months flat now
This is like discussing the GOP vs Dems.
We Care ...coz Apple-hater, GOOnbubble and Microshite-luvver Reggie made us care ...with his trumpet, with his clown boots, with his long since vanished fiery sword of truth
buried in his pompous arse probably as the Apple share price lapped GOO's last year
tell what side the criminals are on so i can buy their assets, too. smart man knows who criminals protect.
