Two of the biggest names in the job board industry could be ripe for acquisition.
Reports emerged Friday, May 4, that Microsoft has asked Yahoo—parent company of HotJobs—to consider a buyout worth up to $50 billion. Meanwhile, buzz about Monster Worldwide's potential buyout is intensifying, courtesy of TV business analyst Jim Cramer. During an appearance on CNBC's Stop Trading! segment, Cramer once again brought up the possibility of Monster's sale.
"Where there's smoke, there is a conflagration," said the host of the syndicated business show Mad Money.
Spokeswomen for both HotJobs and Monster declined to comment, noting it is company policy to not discuss market rumors.
Microsoft is said to be interested in Yahoo for its massive online traffic—the largest audience of any Web portal in the world—so it can be more competitive against rival Google.
A deal between Microsoft and Yahoo would mean more than combining corporate synergies, says John Zappe, principal and analyst at Classified Intelligence, a consultancy in Altamonte Springs, Florida. It would also have major implications for CareerBuilder, which has a deal with Microsoft's MSN that expires next year.
The companies created a strategic alliance in 1999. In 2003, they strengthened the relationship by forging a five-year deal worth up to $150 million. A spokesman for CareerBuilder did not return calls.
Cramer's constant attention to Monster likely has played a role in keeping rumors alive about a potential takeover. Stories on several Web sites, including Workforce.com's Best In Shows column , and chatter among bloggers have consistently speculated that Monster is being considered for a takeover by Google or media giant Gannett Co.
Recent decisions by Monster have also fueled the speculation, such as the April 12 appointment of Sal Iannuzzi as CEO. Before coming to Monster, Iannuzzi was CEO of Symbol Technologies, which he helped sell to Motorola in January.
His appointment not only drove up Monster's stock price, but also raised speculation that he was brought on to help sell the company. Since Iannuzzi's appointment in mid-April, Monster's stock has climbed by more than $7 a share, closing at $47.38 on Friday, May 4.
"There have always been whispers about Monster selling," Zappe says. "But this time [it] could be real."

CARBONDALE, Ill. - Grant Gerrard had three hits, Dean Cademartori knocked in three runs and Southern lllinois University (24-15, 5-4) blew the game open with a three-run sixth inning to clinch its second Missouri Valley Conference series win with a 7-2 victory over No. 22 Creighton (21-11, 6-6) earlier today.
SIU moved to 6-3 against Top-25 opponents this season and has won its last seven of eight series against league opponents. Also, with a Missouri State loss today, the Salukis could move into a second-place tie with the Bears, thus setting up a key showdown between the two teams in Springfield next weekend.
"This was a big series win for our team," said Saluki head coach Dan Callahan. "I thought this was the closest we came to putting all three phases of the game together in a win this season."
The Salukis jumped on CU early and never looked back.
SIU led 4-0 after plating one run in the first, two in the third and another in the fourth, before a two-run homer by Zach Daeges narrowed the gap to, 4-2, in the sixth.
The Salukis, however, answered Daeges' smash with three runs of their own in the bottom half of that inning.
Tyler Lairson led things off with a single to left out of the nine-hole and moved to second on a fielder's choice sacrifice bunt by Kevin Koski. Scott Elmendorf's sacrifice bunt followed that, and SIU had runners on second and third with one out. Gerrard, who singled in his first three at-bats of the game, was then intentionally walked to load the bases. Moments later, Erik Alvarez grounded out to third and Lairson scored. Dean Cademartori's two-out single through the left side came next, as the Dawgs extended their lead to 7-2.
"I thought I had some of my best stuff today," said Brewer. "I felt comfortable out there and knew this was a big game."
Offensively, SIU had eight hits on the day, with seven coming from Gerrard, Cademartori and Bret Maugeri.
Gerrard went 3-for-4 with two runs scored, Cademartori finished at 2-for-3 with three RBI and Maugeri went 2-for-4 with one RBI.
SIU hits the road for its next eight games, beginning Wednesday when it visits Eastern Illinois. First pitch is at 3 p.m., CST.

Well, this is a site me and a friend in Florida just started hosting yesterday.
It's a place to organize events locally, tech talk about new parts and installing and using them, to network, or sell your stuff along with buying other peoples stuff.
Whether you ride a fixie, single speed, roadie, tandem, whatever. Just stop by, have a look around and post anything you'd like, maybe a picture of your bike(s) in the bike porn section.
The site interface is a little different so just poke around and see how you like it.
Tell all your friends too, hopefully we can make a valuable database of NC stuff, and maybe Tennessee, SC, and Virginia.

The St. Louis Blues were none too happy about Vladimir Sobotka's decision to bolt for the KHL on Thursday. They responded by re-signing Steve Ott, who wasn't very good for them, but hey, they needed somebody.
But while the Blues were annoyed, one of their players saw the silver lining immediately. With Sobotka's no. 17 now up for grabs, left wing Jaden Schwartz snagged it for a very special reason.
It's the number his older sister, Mandi, wore for the Yale University women's team before she lost her two-and-a-half year battle with acute myeloid leukemia. On Friday, Jaden let his fans know that his no. 9 jersey would become a thing of the past:
It's yet another way Mandi's legacy is being honored.
Since her diagnosis in 2008, Yale has held an annual bone marrow drive, adding about 4,000 people to the Be The Match Registry and finding over 20 matches. The Yale University women's team also holds an annual fundraising game. "White Out for Mandi" has raised tens of thousands of dollars and awareness for the Mandi Schwartz Foundation.
In January, the event fell on a weekend when Schwartz and the Blues happened to be in the New York City area, playing the Islanders. The whole team bussed to the game.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Columbus is closing five of its schools at the end of the school year.
The district's board of education unanimously approved the closings Tuesday night to cut costs.
The buildings include Brookhaven High School, Monroe Middle School and three elementary schools, one of which will reopen at a different location.
Students will be redistributed to other school buildings.
Superintendent Dan Good told the board that closing the schools would save $10 million toward the goal of $50 million in budget cuts for the next school year. Good warned that major staff reductions are coming, too.
The five buildings to close will be added to 40 or so that have been shuttered in the past decade.
The state's largest school district has been hit by declining enrollment, less state money and a data-scrubbing scandal.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Joe Harris had just scored a career-high 36 points, essentially half of his team's total in a 73-68 victory against No. 3 Duke, and the junior guard was talking about "a team effort" and how the Cavaliers played "sound defense."
Joe, was that the best performance of your basketball career?
"I guess you could say that," he finally allowed.
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski wasn't quite as reluctant to heap on the praise.

"Harris was fantastic, which we knew he would be. He's just one of the best players in the country," Krzyzewski said. "When you have a guy playing at that level … it brings everybody up. You know you're playing with a stud."
Harris and Akil Mitchell, who had 19 points and 12 rebounds, combined for 55 of the Cavaliers' points as they celebrated the 11-year anniversary of their last victory over a top 5 team by doing it again on Thursday night.
When Virginia's 16th consecutive home victory was finished, fans stormed the court.
"It's just great," senior point guard Jontel Evans said. "They're the reason we go so hard when we're here. We feed off their energy. They've been great. They've just been unbelievable this year. I've never seen support like this."
Virginia (20-8, 10-5 Atlantic Coast) beat No. 3 Duke 87-84 11 years ago, their last top 5 victory.
This time, Duke never led.
"That's unbelievable right there, that they never led in the game," Evans said.
Seth Curry led Duke with 28 points, all but five coming after halftime, and Quinn Cook had 22, but the Blue Devils (24-4, 11-4) failed to slow down either Harris or Mitchell, whose dominating play kept a sellout crowd giddy all night.
Mason Plumlee finished with 10 points, seven rebounds and three turnovers and several times looked up to see Mitchell dunking over him.
Report: Catholic schools getting Big East name
The so-called Catholic Seven schools in the Big East are expected to start their new league for the 2013-14 academic year and officially will take the Big East name with them, according to an ESPN report.
DePaul, Marquette, Providence, St. John's, Seton Hall, Villanova and Georgetown will add Butler and Xavier immediately, the report said. The new league is expected to take much more care in which schools it selects after that.
The football members will meet in Atlanta on Friday to discuss the departure of the seven basketball schools. Big East commissioner Mike Aresco told The Associated Press no deal has been completed between the two groups but "some of this stuff is clearly coming down to the wire."
Top 5 women
At Miami 69, No. 5 Duke 65
Stefanie Yderstrom and Pepper Wilson each scored 16 points, Krystal Saunders added 15 and Miami gave its NCAA tournament résumé a boost. Morgan Stroman added 11 for the Hurricanes (19-9, 10-7 ACC). Miami had been 0-10 all-time against Duke, where Hurricanes coach Katie Meier starred as a player.
Elizabeth Williams and Haley Peters each scored 17 for the Blue Devils (26-2, 16-1), who already have locked up the No. 1 seed in the ACC tournament.
Other women
At Gonzaga 59, Portland 56
Junior Jazmine Redmon hit two free throws and redshirt freshman Shelby Cheslek made a steal with five seconds left to secure the win for Gonzaga.
Cheslek scored 13 points to lead the Bulldogs (25-5, 15-1 West Coast), who already had secured their ninth straight WCC regular-season title. Amy Pupa had 13 points for the Pilots (10-18, 5-10).

Wiener dog races please PA Oktoberfest crowd
PLAINS TWP. - Most wore bandanas, one wore a hotdog bun costume but all had four legs.
Approximately 20 dachshunds competed in Saturday's second annual wiener dog races at the Times-Shamrock Communications-sponsored PA Oktoberfest at the Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. The dogs scrambled through a field and over the finish line, amid the loud cheers of hundreds of spectators who took a break from sampling the food and beer tents scattered around the grounds Saturday.
The spectacle was a first for Hazleton resident Harry Hinkle, 56.
"This is unbelievable," Hinkle said after a dog wearing a felt cowboy hat rushed passed him. "I've never seen anything like it. It's entertaining for the kids, entertaining for the adults. Just good for everyone."
He ignored advice from a friend, 26-year-old Jared Bryer, and picked Saturday's reigning champion, Fritz, as the overall winner. Any betting amongst spectators was for bragging rights only.
"That dog just caught my eye," Hinkle said. "I knew he looked like a winner."
And Fritz did not disappoint Saturday. The brown, short-haired dachshund bested all other contenders, a fact that bolstered the hopes of the people who know him best. Dunmore resident Scott Pearson, who is dating the niece of Fritz's owner, said he is already looking forward to seeing Fritz dominate in next year's wiener race.
"We're going for the three-peat," Pearson said. "It's going to be like Michael Jordan in his prime."
Hanover resident Mike Ungvarsky said he did not know what to expect from a wiener dog race.
"It was definitely different," Ungvarsky said. "Different but pretty neat. I didn't know there were that many kinds of wiener dogs."
Austrian native Stefan Schiemer had also never seen a wiener dog race before but had a lot of fun, saying it was in keeping with his band's name, "Guat Drauf" who performed at the event Saturday.
"It means 'in a good mood,'" Schiemer said. "So far, I think I can safely say I'm in a good mood."
PA Oktoberfest concludes today at the Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs with doors opening at 11 a.m.

The story of industries paying lobbyists to influence legislation that benefits their business is nothing new—but what about when that industry is a privately-owned and operated prison system?
NPR reports that Arizona Senate Bill 1070 (.PDF), the immigration bill that requires anyone who can't produce papers proving they are in the country legally to be arrested, was drafted with the help and influence of Arizona's private prison companies.
"According to Corrections Corporation of America reports reviewed by NPR, executives believe immigrant detention is their next big market. Last year, they wrote that they expect to bring in "a significant portion of our revenues" from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the agency that detains illegal immigrants."

Social business Livestream event - Engage your broader network with IBM

If you're anything like me, you've seen and heard more than enough hype about social business. It's a popular topic on most web sites, at marketing and communications meetings, on blogs, in newsletters -- you name it! But many of us really still haven't been able to quickly express just what social business is, and how it will help me, and more importantly, my customers -- because that's really the only thing that matters. So I hope you'll join me for a live online event where we'll get a great reminder of what social business is, and how to determine the value for ourselves! And when you're ready to get started, you'll have folks to help.
Join our social business experts for a Livestream event May 18th at 12:00 noon Eastern Time. You don't have to leave your office, the gym or the car pool. It's just one hour, and by the end, you'll know how this social business stuff fits into your work and you life. We've got a great line up of folks that live and breathe social business everyday. They will lay out the next set of considerations on the journey to becoming a social business. Customer stories will provide some real world examples of social business in action. And Alistair Rennie, General Manager for IBM Collaboration Solutions, will announce new voice and video collaboration capabilities, as well as new listening and monitoring tools, and social collaboration capabilities in the cloud (yeah, Cloud's a pretty hot topic these days, too). This new technology will enable you to cost effectively hone your social antenna so that you can quickly respond to market demands. After all, we all know that those who respond first, reap the rewards!
So at noon on Wednesday, grab some lunch, sit back, point your browser to www.ibm.com/social, and enjoy!

Here, the apartment of fashion designer Jette Romvig in Copenhangen demonstrates just how effective black frames are for crisping up the entry points of a room and creating clean lines. Granted though, if you don't want to highlight the exits to your room, this look probably isn't for you.
These images below show how by accenting the black slightly more through furniture and accessories, you can use skirting and woodwork to make the space a little more dramatic and masculine.
Its also a great backdrop for some eye-wateringly bright colours, if you fancy channelling Shanghai Tang.
But what about other colours for the woodwork?
I won't lie, I'm desperate to paint some skirting boards a burnt orange or hot pink or something but I neither have a place of my own nor friends who'll let me experiment with theirs. Its all extremely sad but one day…. one day I shall have brilliantly interesting woodwork I tell myself. However, it is one of those things where I can't help wondering exactly how bored, how quickly I would get of them. Maybe skirting boards are actually like toilets in that branching out from the conventional black or white is one of those things that only seems like a great idea at the time.
I"m not entirely convinced though. Some of the examples below I think I could definitely live with and there are even more people who have painted just their windows in a pop of colour, which looks great. One thing I would say though is that if you are going to colour your skirtings then you should commit fully. Having just the one orange door below would drive me nuts! Handy for directing guests around your house though.
Certainly a bit more time intensive, this bi-coloured skirting just looks fantastic!
I do love the way this interior has used the same colour door and skirting to give some clean lines to the hallway.
Green door frames in a lakefront Prairie style home.
Yellow door and skirting boards.
Personally this pink theme that has just gone a bit far overboard for me, but in the right space, it could be just fine.
via pinterest, source unknown
LOVE the hot pink doorway. I know they didn't do their skirting boards but I assume this colour everywhere would be far too much unless you were an uber cool startup.
Not such wallpaper fan but I do love the way they used the skirting to tie the colours together.
By far though, my favourite use of coloured skirting boards is in Annvil`s architectural offices in Riga where she paints the edges in a range of fun bright neons.
Having gone through the process of sanding and painting a number of skirting boards, I personally don't think I'd have the patience to get the types of clean lines required above. Painting the side of a mirror I could do though, or maybe just the edge of a door?
If you've done your own coloured skirting boards or have found some other good examples please let me know as currently i'm relegated to monkeying around on photoshop to find some convincing colour combinations of my own.

It goes without saying that I have learned so much more about Central American cultures. Ive felt very comfortable here at times, and other times very uncomfortable witnessing third-world poverty first hand and feeling guilty to be a part of a first-world consumer culture that takes advantage of these people and their land. The term modern day slavery comes to my mind. But I guess we are using each other in our own countries as well. We spend a lot of time focusing on materialistic and selfish goals, competing with each other instead of trying to uplift our less fortunate brothers and sisters, fellow human beings. After so many intense conversations with my peers, it is obvious everything comes back to education, awareness, activism, and change, but poco a poco (little by little).
This trip has been great for my mind. I enjoyed countless hours of brainstorming with Adrian and by myself, while pushing along the rig or later on with some good ganja after settling in to a comfortable place. Ive felt so many emotions while being on the road, had some pretty exciting interactions with locals and other travelers, and havent been tested physically like this since college wrestling. Ive decided that what is most important to me right now is to contribute to positive change within my own country as I believe it has to start first with the economic leaders, decision makers of this world, if you will, also known as the first-world. The wealthy and healthy are looked up to in this world. Maybe it taps into our nature, our priority to survive. I know for sure that we, who enjoy a greater amount of opportunities in life, need to set better examples for the rest of the world. So that is where I want to start, with myself and then hopefully with my surrounding community members and family.
I want to start a community kitchen and food cooperative on the west coast of the US. There will be a number of themes and activities; they include promoting local, organic, and sustainable foods, offering cooking classes in a community/demonstration kitchen, having intercultural exchanges through food, participating in community service, a culinary library which will include cookbooks, info on food history and politics, and other media, and an organic café and grocery which will showcase organic locally grown goods. And so much more, who knows. I want to practice connecting food with art, music, health, kids, grown-ups, and everyday life choices. I am big on the cooperative idea of it and figure that I, along with a few close friends and family members will just have to make the jump into it and hope people can feel our spirit and join in and contribute to changing the way people live with food in a positive way.
I plan to work through the summer in Alaska after a cross country trip across the US. Going to go on a thumb, to visit friends and pick up ideas for the coop along the way. I have a couple websites to make, my photos and stories to go over, a few inventions to develop, and maybe even a book or two to write. I feel like this trip has left me full of creative energy and now I will choose my priorities and get to work!
I am very thankful for having run into so much positive feelings out there. Ive heard horror stories about people being robbed or hurt, and none of that ever happened. Most all the time I felt very comfortable no matter where I was. I believe that my Spanish speaking ability helped make much stronger connections to the people. Getting to know the cultures of Central America was overwhelmingly awesome to say the least. Not to mention the natural sites, they werent bad either! And what a better way to do it than with my own natural leg power, on a bike, seeing, smelling, tasting, hearing, feeling, and living everything at just the right pace. Ive had more stomach problems in the past 10 months than I have had in my life, but what doesnt kill us makes us stronger right? Maybe I carry a few new friends in me now as well.
So, now I head with a pack, back north through Panama and Costa Rica to hit all the detours I didnt make by bike.
More stories from the road to come!
As always, thanks for following along, thanks for your support.
Please continue to support leg power, driving less, carpooling, peace, organic farming, healthy living, education and social activism! War is not a solution to OUR problems!
And if you want to be a part of the coop in any way, please let me know!
Peace n Love!

Greatest Tearjerkers
Part 19
|Movie Title/Year and Brief Tearjerker Scene Description
The Notebook (2004)
A romantic love story viewed over many years was the subject of this intense tearjerker. Young, privileged and pretty Southern debutante Allie Hamilton (Rachel McAdams) shared a passionate rain-soaked kiss after an idyllic afternoon rowboating through a spectacular duck-filled setting with earthy mill worker Noah Calhoun (Ryan Gosling), as she learned for the first time that he had written her 365 love letters (one each day for a year) - although her domineering mother had intercepted them and disapproved of his 'low-class' status. Noah professed his love on the dock: "It wasn't over. It still isn't over!" Later, another emotional scene was the moment that Allie finally made a choice between Noah and her parent-approved fiancee Lon Hammond, Jr. (James Marsden) - and drove to Noah's fixed-up mansion to move in and be with him. In the final scenes, it was revealed that nursing home patient Allie Hamilton/Calhoun (Gena Rowlands) had severe Alzheimer's Disease and could only remember the story of their love for a few minutes. She and frail heart patient Noah or "Duke" Calhoun (James Garner) had met and fallen in love when in their teens - in old age, Noah repeatedly rekindled their love by re-reading from her old faded notebook diary (written by Allie as a present to Noah years earlier, with the handwritten dedication in its front: "Read this to me, and I'll come back to you"). After one of the readings telling of their love for each other, Allie briefly remembered their love during a special candlelight dinner in the nursing home when they shared a dance together - Allie requested: "Do you think I can be her tonight?" - but then she rapidly 'forgot' and panicked. In the final scene in the rest home, she remembered him as they held hands in her bedroom, where he promised he would always be there and never leave her. She asked him: "Do you think that our love can create miracles?" He replied: "Yes, I do. That's what brings you back to me each time." She asked a second question. "Do you think our love can take us away together?" He responded: "I think our love can do anything we want it to." They fell asleep in the same bed, and passed away together.
The final famous tearjerking scene between Jerry Durrance (Paul Heinreid) and Charlotte Vale (Bette Davis), in which Jerry asked once more: "Shall we just have a cigarette on it?" to which she responded breathlessly: "Yes, sir," holding out an opened cigarette box. He took two cigarettes and put them in his mouth, lit them both, and then handed one over to Charlotte; the film ended with Charlotte's most memorable line on the balcony - although she knew Jerry would never leave his wife, they found something far more enduring and happy: "And just think, it won't be for this time only. That is, if you'll help keep what we have. If we both try hard to, to protect that little strip of territory that's ours...Oh, Jerry, don't let's ask for the moon. We have the stars." As the music swelled, the camera moved between them and ascended above the trees to a starry night sky.
Of Mice and Men (1939 and 1992)
One of the saddest scenes of all time was the mercy-killing of child-like brute Lennie (Lon Chaney, Jr./John Malkovich) by his best friend and guardian George Milton (Burgess Meredith/Gary Sinise). Lennie had accidentally killed Mae (Betty Field/Sherilyn Fenn), the wife of the ranch boss' son Curley (Bob Steele/Casey Siemaszko), and George was faced with killing his friend to spare him from Curley's wrath and a lynch mob.
Before a tragic and tear-jerking mercy killing in the film's final scene, George promised his friend that they would finally have a place of their own - he distracted him with the retelling of their dream of a ranch of their own, before shooting him in the back of the head:
Lennie's last pitiful words were about his oft-repeated task.
[Memorably remade in 1992 with John Malkovich and Gary Sinise (pictured).]
An Officer and a Gentleman (1982)
The tough training of drill instructor Sgt. Emil Foley (Louis Gossett, Jr.) - notably of naval candidate trainee Zack Mayo (Richard Gere) who was powerfully determined to not quit his recruit training: (Foley: "I want your DOR...All right, then you can forget it! You're out!" Mayo: "I ain't gonna quit...Don't you do it! Don't you - I got nowhere else to go! I got nowhere else to g... I ain't got nothin' else. I got nothin' else"); the tragic scene of Mayo's buddy Sid Worley (David Keith) committing suicide by hanging (in the nude in a motel bathroom) after a failed relationship with Paula Pokrifki's (Debra Winger) manipulative work friend Lynette Pomeroy (Lisa Blount); and the rousing romantic finale (often considered cheesy) in which Zack kissed and then carried a surprised paper factory worker/girlfriend Paula away from her job in his arms: (Lynette: "Way to go, Paula! Way to go!") - to the sounds of "Up Where We Belong" during the credits.
The Old Maid (1939)
The tearjerker sequences of selfless old maid Aunt Charlotte Lovell (Bette Davis) 'almost' telling her unknowing, free-spirited illegitimate daughter / love child Clementina "Tina" (Jane Bryan) the truth of her parentage on the eve of her wedding day to handsome Lanning Halsey (William Lundigan) - Tina was raised by her sister Delia Lovell Ralston (Miriam Hopkins); Aunt Charlotte tenderly told Tina at her bedside of her love: "If I've been severe with you at times, I haven't meant it. I love you very much"; also the final scene of the new bride's last kiss given to her special aunt by the special request of Delia.
Los Olvidados (1950, Mex.)
The travails of a young gang member named Pedro (Alfonso Mej�a) who prostituted himself to survive; the poignant image of a bloody-nosed, battered Pedro looking forlornly through a dirty window; and the heart-breaking, graceless disposal of slain Pedro's body -- put in a sack and carried out of town on a donkey -- while Pedro's mother passed in the street, ironically not knowing her son was dead.
Old Yeller (1957)
The devastating scene in which young Travis (Tommy Kirk) had to kill his faithful companion Ol' Yeller with a rifle when the dog contracted rabies.
On Golden Pond (1981)
Estranged daughter Chelsea Thayer's (Jane Fonda) complaint about dealing with her father Norman (76 year-old Henry Fonda): "I act like a big person everywhere else. I'm in charge of Los Angeles, and I come here, I feel like a little fat girl"; the teary confrontation and ultimate reconciliation between Norman and daughter Chelsea at the dock (Chelsea: "It just seems that you and me have been mad at each other for so long..." Norman: "I didn't think we were mad; I thought we just didn't like each other" - ending with "I want to be your friend"), culminating with Chelsea eagerly doing "a real g-ddamned back-flip" off the diving board for an appreciative Norman; and the final scene in which Ethel (Katharine Hepburn) prayed when aging husband Norman collapsed due to angina: ("Dear God, don't take him now. You don't want him. He's just an old poop"), with Ethel's beaming, reassuring line to Norman: "You are my knight in shining armor!", and the final line by Norman, using slang he had learned from 13 year-old Billy (Doug McKeon): ''Wanna dance or would you rather just suck face?''
On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969)
The famous ending in which just-married James Bond (George Lazenby) lost his new wife Tracy Di Vicenzo (Diane Rigg), when Blofeld's (Telly Savalas) henchwoman Irma Bunt (Ilse Steppat) strafed their limousine with machine-gun fire - missing Bond but killing Tracy - this heart-breaking scene was punctuated by Louis Armstrong singing: "We Have All the Time In the World."

Miley Cyrus's VMA Performance Offends Man Behind Foam Finger
Add the inventor of the giant "We're No. 1" finger to the list of people outraged by Miley Cyrus's 2013 MTV Video Music Awards performance.
Steve Chmelar developed the go-to prop of many a sports fan as a 16-year-old to support his high school basketball team. Little did the now-59-year-old think that his beloved invention would someday feel up Robin Thicke's lower regions.
"I would say that it certainly misrepresented its intent to encourage team support," Steve told Fox News of Miley's controversial gig on Sunday. "She took an honorable icon that is seen in sporting venues everywhere and degraded it."
In Miley's defense, the finger that shocked the world is not technically the same one seen at sporting events. According to Yahoo! Music, stylist Lisa Katnic developed Miley's all-white, red painted nails version more than a year ago. It was suppose to appear in an editorial shoot but was cut at the last minute only to make its debut in Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" music video.
In case you're worried about the reputation of the foam finger in general, Steve has a positive outlook: "Fortunately, the foam finger has been around long enough that it will survive this incident. As for Miley Cyrus, let's hope she can outlive this event and also survive."
Clearly, Steve is not a fan.

In April, 2004, Independence National Historical Park [INDE] partnered with the Ad Hoc Historians and The Historical Society of Pennsylvania to apply for partial support of a public forum on the President's House. Mary M. Bomar, Superintendent of Independence National Historical Park, encouraged this collaborative project in furtherance of the park's civic engagement program. The President's House site, located at Sixth and Market Streets served as the residence of George Washington and John Adams as well as the location of the Executive Branch of government during most of their respective presidencies. The structure and its outbuildings were demolished in 1832, and over time, public memory forgot its existence. It recently became the focus of popular and scholarly attention because some of the Washingtons' slaves lived in his presidential household. With Superintendent Bomar's support, the partner organizations responded to a grant solicitation by the National Park Service Northeast Region's Civic Engagement Initiative. The application requested partial support for the expenses of holding a public forum on the President's House.
The purpose of the proposed project was the continuation of an ongoing dialogue about the presence of slavery at the President's House Site through an exploration of potential interpretive themes for use in both a permanent commemoration as well as in all interpretive media. Through discussion, the forum's audience would examine the interpretive themes for the site, which were outlined in the Olin/Ciulla "Final Concept Design" (March, 2003) to determine their continued relevancy to the project. The intended forum audience was interested community groups, the press, the National Park Service, academic and applied historians, site managers and educators. In addition to the one-day forum, features of the project included a special website on this topic that is linked to INDE's website, and a documentary videotape of the event.
The Northeast Region of the National Park Service granted the park $5,000 for the forum, to be matched — dollar for dollar — by cash or inkind donation.
Beginning in June, 2004, we formed a planning group that included representatives from the park, the Ad Hoc Historians, The Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Charles Blockson of Temple University, Avenging the Ancestors Coalition (A.T.A.C!), the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Humanities [MARCH], the Independence Hall Association, and WHYY television. This group determined the structure of the forum, the invited participants, and the local arrangements. They met in person and communicated by e-mail.
We advertised the event directly to local organizations with demonstrated interest in the topic. We placed a notice on INDE's website that included a reply card for registration, mailed announcements to over 300 organizations and individuals, and sent two media advisories. The Historical Society of Pennsylvania placed a notice in its newsletter. The Friends of Independence National Historical Park also publicized the event to their membership.
The park hosted the forum in the Independence Visitor Center, Sixth and Market Streets, Philadelphia. The main meeting room and one theater were used. Each registrant and members of the press received an information packet. The packet included a copy of the day's agenda; biographical information about the participants; position papers of major participating groups; the themes under inquiry; a copy of a case study on the James Dexter site, another successful civic engagement project at INDE; a brief bibliography for further reading; copies of an historical plan of the house site and a drawing of the present Liberty Bell Center superimposed on that historic plan; and a response form for attendees' comments.
Dr. Morris Vogel of the Rockefeller Foundation served as moderator for the event. The afternoon began with a Power Point presentation about the President's House by NPS Interpretive Ranger Joseph Becton. Following Mr. Becton's presentation, panelists representing key stakeholders briefly stated their interest in this project. Speakers included Mary Bomar, Superintendent, INDE; Charles Blockson, Curator, the Blockson Collection, Temple University; Michael Coard, Esq., ATAC;, Edward Lawler, Independence Hall Association; Charlene Mires, Ad Hoc Historians; Sacaree Rhodes, Generations Unlimited.
In addition to the panelists, special invitations had been extended to representatives of organizations with a demonstrated interest in the site and the topic. Those representatives made brief statements regarding their hopes for the site. Speakers included Patricia Washington, Greater Philadelphia Tourism and Marketing Corporation [GPTMC]; Kris Kepford Walker, Cliveden; the Reverend Jeffrey Leath, Mother Bethel A.M.E. Church; and Arthur Sudler, St. Thomas African Episcopal Church. Of two additional invited representatives, Barbara Silberman, Heritage Philadelphia Programs was unable to attend and the Pennsylvania Sons of the American Revolution did not send an official spokesman. The panelists, the special invitees and the planning committee met on the morning of October 30 to review their roles in the project and plan their afternoon session. Dr. Randall Miller, St. Joseph's University and Ad Hoc Historians, served as moderator for the morning planning session.
In the public, afternoon session, following the planned discussants, Dr. Vogel opened the floor to comments. Comments were taken from the floor and recorded on newsprint by Shaun Eyring, Cultural Resources Manager of the Northeast Regional Office. The conclusions below are taken from this raw data and are expressed as written. To these comments I have added information from my field notes prior to analyzing the comments by themes.
The dialogue was lively, passionate and contested, as Dr. Vogel announced it should be. It is estimated that over 248 people attended. These attendees represented 27 organizations (see attached list).
In the Olin/Ciulla "Final Concept Plan" (2003), National Park Service staff and members of community groups identified five themes that should be developed in the commemoration. They are: 1. The house and the people who lived and worked there; 2. The Executive Branch of the U.S. Government; 3. The system and methods of slavery; 4. African-American Philadelphia; and 5. The move to freedom.
The most-referenced themes during the forum discussion were themes 1, 3, 4 and 5 of the Olin/Ciulla plan. footnote: Information is derived from the author's personal field notes, notes made by Shaun Eyring of the National Park Service, documentary video, written and electronic communications. Following is a brief synopsis of ideas expressed that supported those themes.
The five themes of the Olin/Ciulla plan are very broad. All of the comments heard at the forum fall under four of the five existing themes, with no comments regarding the Executive Branch of government. John Adams was also not mentioned.
While not thematic in nature, several comments on the site's attraction to tourists were noted. Patricia Washington of the Greater Philadelphia Tourism and Marketing Corporation (GPTMC) noted that part of their economic development strategy is to promote the city to African American tourists. This group represents a growing segment in the heritage tourism market. The Park Service must tell meaningful, compelling stories that speak to the African American community. The interpretation should be complex, not a gloss. Tourists are a highly sophisticated, welleducated group who expect interpretation that prompts them to investigate the subject further after their visit.
Many people in the audience expressed their eagerness for the design and construction phase of the project. "Let's roll up our sleeves and get it done," said one man. There is a marked interest in having African American designers and contractors create the site. The audience requested that the National Park Service develop a process to move the project forward. Several commenters called for action, not more talk about the project.
Recognizing that the time for comments during the forum was brief and not everyone had the opportunity to share their thoughts, we sent additional requests for written comments to people who attended the forum. Response pages were provided in each registration packet. Through the park's website, we also received comments.
We received 15 comments via e-mail, U.S. mail and telephone. Nine of the commenters attended the forum; the remainder learned about the project through the media.
Two of those comments offered specific design suggestions. Another respondent recommended using drama to interpret the site. Of the three writers who reminded the park to offer balanced interpretation by including the Executive Branch of government at the site, one posited a binary argument that placed the "great men" in opposition to the slaves. "Which person exemplifies the ideas and ideals that led to the American Revolution and the founding and growth of the United States," he wrote, " a man who groomed a horse [or] the men who signed the US Constitution?"
One respondent asked why this topic is important. "The past is over. How does this advance a cause?" she asked. Another commenter asked why public funds should be used to construct a memorial for oppressed people. He cited the Irish Memorial in Philadelphia (not located in Independence Park), which was commissioned entirely with donated funds.
A writer analyzed the event in terms of models for truth/reconciliation and for vindication. The author favored the former model as having greater resonance with the international visitation that Independence National Historical Park receives. This same writer noted that attenders saw slavery as the only acceptable "truth." The stories of free blacks were less authentic.
Two writers noted the "anger and despair" carried by many of the members of the audience.
We received praise for the forum from more than one commenter. Although time didn't permit us to break the audience into small groups, a writer suggested that such a technique would have permitted more people to offer varying points of view. She called for a follow-up event. Another writer took a wait and see attitude whether promises are kept.
Analysis of the written and spoken comments above demonstrates that theme 4, African American Philadelphia with its emphasis on free blacks as told to establish the context of the President's House site, was the most-cited theme.
In both written and oral comments, important questions of ownership and qualification emerged. Whose history is it and who is most qualified to tell it? Is a member of a group better qualified to recount the stories of their ancestors by virtue of their membership? Or is a dispassionate, objective scholar a better judge of the past?
A similar question arose regarding the best people to design and fabricate the commemorative site. Collectively, we have developed the site's themes based upon input from a wide variety of sources, scholars, the community, and applied history professionals. Public sentiment, however, is clear in its insistence that the park employ an African American design and fabrication team.
In addition to thematic expressions proposed for the commemoration, the audience directly or indirectly expressed several values that planners, designers and interpreters should keep in mind about this site. These values permeated the comments regardless of the speaker's group affiliation.
The planning committee met on November 22, 2004 to review the forum and its lessons and to plan next steps. The group agreed that a sixth theme, tentatively titled "History Lost and Found" should be added to the Olin/Ciulla five. This theme would explain how our knowledge of the events at this site shifted over time with the presence of slavery lost to common memory. The story would also describe the recovery of this knowledge.
Superintendent Bomar took several immediate steps toward retaining public interest in this project. First, she sent a strongly worded memorandum to the NPS Northeast Regional Director, Marie Rust, requesting that the planned site Commemoration be moved into the region's top three line item construction projects. This placement would assist in its consideration at the national level.
Second, the Power Point presentation shown at the forum will be shown to the public on a regular, scheduled basis in the Liberty Bell Center. Despite staffing shortages, the Park will make every effort to make this program available.
Third, the park will create two more waysides for the present site that elaborate on its history.
Fourth, we will create a site bulletin or handout about the site for the public, free of charge.
Fifth, we will also schedule performances by actors who currently portray Hercules and Oney Judge, the Washington slaves who successfully escaped to freedom while living at this site. These performances will be in February during Black History Month.
Hopefully, an outside source will consider funding these programs on a more frequent schedule. We will include our various partners and stakeholders in the review of the written material for the second through fourth actions.
The planners feel the forum was a success. It confirmed that earlier work to establish the themes for this site was accurate. That work was accomplished in a small group format with only one or two representatives for each community group. The congruence between the themes chosen at the smaller meeting with the public responses at the October forum demonstrates agreement of the community groups with their leaders. We look forward to continued collaboration with the planners and the community as this project moves forward.
On October 9, 2004, the day that the National Park Service moved the Liberty Bell to its new home on Block I of Independence Mall, John F. Street, Mayor of the City of Philadelphia, promised to contribute $1.5 million to the President's House commemoration. Recently, Superintendent Bomar met with City officials and reached agreement that the money will be used for design development. The National Park Service will work with the City in the selection of a design team. The team will be charged with full design development of the project including the final deliverables of construction drawings and specifications. The City will donate the final design to the National Park Service. The City will also transfer the balance of its donation to the National Park Service for application to the construction of the commemoration. The National Park Service will contract for the fabrication of the design.

Oklahoma City police look for man who impersonated security officer during attack on woman
Oklahoma City police said Monday they are looking for a man who impersonated a security officer while trying to sexually assault a woman at Lake Hefner.
The woman called police shortly after midnight April 29 to report the incident at Hobie Point. According to a police report released Monday, the woman and her boyfriend drove to the lake while she was on a break from work. About 11:30 p.m. a car drove by, and five or 10 minutes later, a man holding a spotlight approached the couple's car.
The man identified himself as "lake security." He told the couple the lake closes at 11 p.m. and he would have to have them arrested. The man asked the woman's boyfriend to stay in the car and told the woman to follow him to his vehicle. He then made sexually suggestive comments and tried to force the woman into his vehicle.
The woman was able to escape and ran back to her car, driving away from the area with her boyfriend before calling police.
The suspect was described as a white man in his mid-20s, 6 feet tall, about 250 pounds with a stubbly beard. He was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and sweatpants. His vehicle was a small, four-door car, possibly a Honda or some other import model.
Oklahoma City police patrol the lake. There is no separate lake security.
Anyone with information can call Crime Stoppers at 235-7300. Callers can remain anonymous.

Pedaling FURIOUSLY Downhill to go 8 MPH
Ferocious gusts to 40 mph and there I was on my mountain bike in low gear pedaling my heart out while going downhill at 8 mph!
I was amazed at the stability of the bike when I changed direction a bit and went into the crosswinds.
But, great exercise. Did it for an hour. (My wife and I went somewhere and I rode back, therefore, I NEVER got the 40 mph tailwind. Headwinds all the way.)

Breast Concerns? (photos)
Doctor Answers 7
Web reference: http://www.drpirani.com/breast-enhancement-toronto/breast-augmentation/
Redness post lift/aug
Since you are 8 months out I don't think it is an infection.Do you have a fever?I would go to your surgeon and let him evaluate it but I think the red color may be maturating scar tissue but you should ALWAYS go back to your surgeon if you have any concerns.
Web reference: http://beautybybrueck.com
Breast concerns
Since infection is on the list of possible causes, you should see a plastic surgeon as soon as possible. Hopefully that is not the diagnosis, but if it is prompt attention is needed. All the best.

Last night the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home put on the first ever dogwalk at the annual Collars and Coats Gala Ball in London's Battersea Park.
An eclectic array of canine models paraded down the red carpet with the creators of their coats and collars in tow.
Julien Macdonald, Henry Holland, and Zandra Rhodes were in attendance along with Battersea Ambassador and international supermodel David Gandy.
Battersea's handsome hounds also showcased looks from British designers Stella McCartney, Jenny Packham, Gareth Pugh, Giles Deacon and Mulberry.
'It's pretty extraordinary, this is probably the most unusual red carpet I've been on, but I love it,' David Gandy told ELLE. 'I'm much happier around dogs than people sometimes!'
So how different is it designing for dogs? 'Well, there's a four leg issue to take into account and I don't think I'd put fur on a dog, that would be bad taste,' said Henry Holland.
Later Paul O'Grady and Amanda Holden hosted an exclusive auction of the coats and accessories and musician Jamie Cullum headlined the event.
'There's a [Stephen Jones] spaceman outfit I might just have to bid on tonight,' said Gandy. 'They are all astounding though and Matthew Williamson's is great.'
The muse for Williamson's donated dog outfit was his 'very chic' American cocker spaniel, Coco.
Olympic gold medalist Rebecca Adlington also showed her support for the charity. 'I'm a huge dog lover, my family have 6 dogs. When we get together it's mental, it's pretty much like I run a dog's home.'
If you'd like more information on how to get involved with Battersea Dogs and Cats Home OR even bid for one of the dog jackets up for auction then the link is auction.collarsandcoats.org.uk The auction is open for another 13 days, so there's still lots of time to bid.

text: In this paper, evacuation experiments are carried out to study pedestrian movement behaviors in building bottleneck. An image processing method based on mean-shift algorithm is used to extract pedestrian movement trajectory. Based on the extracted trajectory, we analyze the microscopic movement characteristics of pedestrians such as lane formation, change of velocity and distance between two sequential pedestrians. A pedestrian lane is a group of pedestrians moving in a column. The lane formation is verified by the pedestrian trajectory and distribution of pedestrian's lateral positions (x direction in the paper): lane number changes from one to two, three or even more with the increasing bottleneck width when pedestrians pass through the bottleneck. By analyzing the pedestrian movement behaviors in the same pedestrian lane, we find three typical movement modes in the bottleneck: time-lag acceleration, synchronous acceleration, and avoiding deceleration. Through analyzing the time intervals when successive pedestrians pass through the bottleneck, we find that most pedestrians adjust their velocities according to the distance to the forward pedestrians. Results also indicate that due to different cultures, pedestrians flux in China and Germany may have some differences besides their similarities

dah, based on your own words, I assume you must have at least written a master's thesis. Do you recall the academic standards established for acceptance, particularly those dealing with plagiarism? Presenting the published works of others as your own is the cardinal sin of any author or commentator, even one who spends the majority of his time on a small forum such as this. It reflects intellectual laziness, dishonesty and a multitude of other character flaws. You cannot obscure these weaknesses with a smokescreen of insults. To do so is pathetic.

So you disagree with my comment about paying the 800,000 federal employees for NOT working! They would have been eligible for unemployment, they still receive health, eye, dental and life insurance coverage. They would not lose any time toward retirement and now they will receive full pay for doing nothing!
Federal employees make an average of $78,000 plus golden benefits, a defined retirement, 401K and Social Security. After 30 years (yes, 30 years) the average retired employee is getting 90+% pay, for life. The average tax payer is making $48,000 which has been dropping in the last 5 years, federal employees wages have increased $4,000 in that same time period. The so called 3 year pay freeze does not account for the step grade increases that have continued!
So the tax payer is supporting workers that create nothing for 30-40% over what the tax payers are receiving.....FOOLS!!!

btw WHEE-Dawg: " It is acceptable to restate in your own words information gained through reading or listening to the original author and to incorporate them in your own expression, "
WikiP: Plagiarism is the "wrongful appropriation" and "purloining and publication" of another author's "LANGUAGE, THOUGHTS, IDEAS, OR EXPRESSIONS" and the representation of them as one's own original work.
So Wienerdouche, you are guilty of the WORST KIND of PLAGIARISM. Taking thoughts and ideas and rephrasing them as your own to PRETEND they are your original thoughts WITH NO MENTION OF THE AUTHOR. That works for a 10th term paper but HERE it is a FAIL!
Thanks for admitting to the whole world you are a plagiarist!
If I credit the author or put in quotes, *most* people are smart enough to figure that is not plagiarism.

KTNV reports:
Joyce Spencer is 77-years-old and her husband Ralph is 80. They've been spending most of their time in the family ice cream store since going home isn't an option.
The Spencers never expected to be forced out of their Lake Mead home, which they've owned since the 70s, but on Thursday, a park ranger said they had 24 hours to get out.
"I had to go to town today and buy Ralph undershirts and jeans because I forgot his pants," Joyce Spencer told Action News.
The Stewart's Point home sits on federal land, so even though the Spencers own their cabin outright, they're not allowed in until the government reopens.
I guess that is what Wheezerdawg did as Park Ranger, just be a paid little biache for the Gestapo.

Once upon a time we had REAL LEADERS:
President Reagan and Speaker Tip O'Neill "were true gentlemen, in a way we don't ask leaders to be anymore," Chris Matthews writes in his new book, Tip and the Gipper, an inside look at the mutual respect between these giants. Here, two anecdotes to inspire Washington today.
1. After the 1981 assassination attempt on Reagan, O'Neill visited him in the hospital. He knelt at the president's bedside and together they recited the 23rd Psalm. Then O'Neill kissed Reagan on the forehead.
2. At a retirement party for O'Neill in 1986, Reagan said, "Mr. Speaker, I'm grateful you have permitted me in the past, and I hope in the future, that singular honor—the honor of calling you my friend.

"A memo went out from the chief of staff a year ago to White House employees and the intelligence agencies that told people to freeze and retain any e-mail, and presumably phone logs, of communications with me," Sanger said. As a result, longtime sources no longer talk to him. "They tell me: 'David, I love you, but don't e-mail me. Let's don't chat until this blows over.'?"
Sanger, who has worked for the Times in Washington for two decades, said, "This is most closed, control-freak administration I've ever covered."
Many leak investigations include lie-detector tests for government officials with access to the information at issue. "Reporters are interviewing sources through intermediaries now," Barr told me, "so the sources can truthfully answer on polygraphs that they didn't talk to reporters."
