MALE/NEW DELHI: Stepping up pressure on India, Maldives on Monday pressed for facilitation of the arrest of former president Mohamed Nasheed, against whom a fresh court warrant was issued on the sixth day of his stay at the Indian high commission here. However, India is unlikely to ask Nasheed to leave because it feels it was up to the Maldivian leader to take a call, sources said in New Delhi.
A Maldivian court gave time till 4pm, on Wednesday, to the police for bringing Nasheed before it. The police later approached the foreign ministry asking it to get in touch with the Indian high commission, where Nasheed has taken refuge since February 13. "We have received court orders asking us to produce former president Nasheed before it by 4 pm on Wednesday," police spokesman Hassan Haneef told PTI adding the department, through the attorney general, has approached the foreign ministry asking it to get in touch with the Indian mission to arrange and facilitate his arrest. The Maldivian foreign ministry has conveyed Nasheed's court order to the Indian high commission.

Antievolution legislation in Missouri
House Bill 195, introduced in the Missouri House of Representatives on January 13, 2011, and not yet referred to a committee, is apparently the second antievolution bill of 2011.
Kentucky Academy of Science on the ark park
Concern over Ark Encounter, the proposed creationist theme park in northern Kentucky was expressed by two guest editorials in the January 2011 issue of the newsletter of the Kentucky Academy of Science.
Freshwater officially fired
On January 10, 2011, the Mount Vernon City Schools Board of Education voted 4-1 to terminate the employment of John Freshwater.
Recommendation in the Freshwater case
"A Mount Vernon teacher defied his bosses and ignored the U.S. Constitution when he continually used his 8th-grade science classes to push his own Christian agenda and he should be fired for it, a state hearing officer has concluded," the Columbus Dispatch (January 8, 2011) reported.
"Creationism's evolving strategy"
Writing in the January 2011 issue of Americans United for Separation of Church and State's journal Church & State, Sandhya Bathija reviewed the developments in the creationism/evolution controversy since the Kitzmiller v. Dover case.
In the Light of Evolution
NCSE is pleased to offer a free preview (PDF) of In the Light of Evolution: Essays from the Laboratory and Field (Roberts & Company 2010).
The Miller/Morris debate
A debate on evolution versus creationism at Brown University in 1981 was so popular that the event had to be held in the largest building on campus — a hockey rink. There's no need for skates and sticks, though: the debate between Kenneth R. Miller and Henry M. Morris is now available from NCSE.
Antievolution legislation in Kentucky
Kentucky's House Bill 169 would, if enacted, allow teachers to "use, as permitted by the local school board, other instructional materials to help students understand, analyze, critique, and review scientific theories in an objective manner."
A teacher punished over evolution?
Was a North Carolina middle school science teacher unjustly treated when she was reassigned to a different job after a complaint about her presentation of evolution in the classroom? That is the question at issue in a lawsuit originally filed in 2007.

I have ~1,000 files to compare (e.g. 2,000 files total), all of which are in identically named pairs and are in .TXT format. However they contain tabulated data and I need to compare using Data Compare so I can assign Key columns to correctly align the data, and apply tolerance to numerical amounts.
Using Data compare works fine for individual files, and I have saved the data session settings keys etc (with option 'Use for all files within parent session' selected). I also saved the parent File Comparison session afterwards.
However when I select a large number of reports to compare and select File Compare Report from right click menu, it always defaults to Text Compare. I have gone to to the Folder session settings and set it to Rules Based comparison, but still cannot force the Data Compare for groups.
I noticed that if I take a couple of file pairs and open in Excel and re-save as .XLS, the File Compare report options seems to switch to Data Compare, so it looks like there is some kind of embedded default somewhere based on the file extensions. However I cannot re-save all 2k files this way.
The question is, how do I override this default and force BC to use Data Compare in all cases?
PS - I read a post that stated that the last edited session defaults in the 'Edit Sessions' home window will be used in future comparisons. Does this get overridden by file extension defaults or are these defaults being ignored? There are some weird settings in my corporate file system so its possible the last edited defaults are being lost somehow (e.g. BC tries to save them to a read only location)

Professor Amidei conducts research in particle physics at the CERN LHC and at Fermilab. At the LHC his focus is exploring the implications of the recently observed Higgs boson, which implies either new forces responsible for the Higgs effect or new particles responsible for stabilizing the Higgs interactions. These possibilities can both be explored by finding the Higgs boson in distinctive decay modes and examining its production behavior and associated objects in the event. A speculative combination of both possibilities is resonant Higgs pair production, for which a direct search is under construction. Beyond the Higgs boson, the next LHC run will be the highest energies ever explored and it will be important to look broadly across all indicators for evidence of new phenomena at high mass.
In the DAMIC collaboration at Fermilab, the focus is on a novel technique for the detection of low mass dark matter using extremely sensitive detectors based on the CCD technology originally developed for electronic imaging. An active R&D program with these detectors explores other applications for this extremely sensitive method of radiation detection.
Professor Amidei has previously worked on, and remains interested in, the physics of the top quark, silicon detectors and precision tracking, techniques for b-quark tagging, and electronics for high energy physics. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society.

Until Parnell learns (will he ever learn?) to buzz hitters inside (among a few other things,) he's old toast. Even Nolan Ryan, Koufax and Bob Gibson would have been career journeymen without a little up and down inside aggression and outside control. And Thole, actually standing up to promote a high pitch fools no one.
Feeling sorry for little Terry who, in the midst of embarrassment and disaster, has to keep a stiff upper lip while looking over his shoulder for the GM and the Wilpons to do SOMETHING, ANYTHING! One day he'll lose it completely and say: How the f..k do they expect me to manage this bunch of fakers and incompetents?
Davis "roars to life." LOL

A judge sentenced a Bangladeshi man to 30 years in prison on Friday after he admitted that he intended to use a bomb in what US authorities called a plot to blow up the New York Federal Reserve Bank.
Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis, 22, who had pleaded guilty to the governments charge of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and faced life in prison, told the judge he now rejects radical Islam and apologized to the people of New York and the United States. Prosecutors had said Nafis had claimed on social media sites to have contacts with al-Qaeda.
Im ashamed, Im lost, I tried to do a terrible thing, said Nafis, who was arrested in October 2012 while trying to detonate what he believed to be a 454-kg bomb hidden in a van.
Instead, the van carried inert materials planted by an undercover FBI agent as part of a sting operation. Prosecutors said Nafis attempted to use a mobile phone to detonate the bogus device.

Bromelain and Warfarin
Bromelain is a group of powerful protein-digesting enzymes that are found naturally in pineapple. Discovered in 1957, this enzyme has been widely studied and appears in over one million websites through popular website search engines.
What is bromelain used for?
Bromelain is used for reducing muscle and tissue inflammation as well as digestive disorders. Additional uses include: acute postoperative and post-traumatic conditions where swelling is common, reduction of inflammation in burn victims and enhancement of antibiotic absorption.1
Interactions with warfarin?
Bromelain is described as a natural blood thinner by breaking down fibrin, an important component of normal blood clotting.2
Studies out of Germany in 1995 found that 59 people with injuries consistent with sprains and general muscle aches found equal pain to those using prescription NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). Bromelain demonstrated the added feature of helping excessive fluid to drain from the injury site. Like NSAIDS and aspirin, Bromelain has been linked to prolonging bleeding time. For this reason patients on warfarin should expect an increase in bleeding time and possible increase in INR test results.3
Patients thinking of using Bromelain in any of its three forms (tablet, capsule, powder) should consult their doctor before doing so.

This game will pit players with the task of taking their initially disgusting city and turn it around through in-game missions and their friends' help. Like in most social games, you will be able to send your friends gifts and help their cities out. Environmental villains--which of course you will need to defeat--will be introduced to Ecotopia as the storyline progresses.
But here's the hook you've been waiting for: Players will be rewarded with in-game rewards for broadcasting their real-world green efforts through the game. While the rewards won't be huge, according to Talkie CEO Chris Swain, posting them along with a picture and having friends verify the contribution will result in huge paybacks. Video will be integrated as well through Ecotopia TV, which will allow players to view and create their own videos relevant to Conservation International's efforts.
Ford believes that his first Facebook game will spur involvement in and awareness of the movement toward a healthier planet. While we doubt Mr. Solo is behind the computer writing code, he is serving as a consultant on the game, pointing at how key environmental issues could be introduced into Ecotopia, Talkie chairman Larry Bond said to Hollywood Reporter. Ultimately, the game will serve as another way for Fords' organization to spread its message. As for the game's enjoyability, we remain cautiously optimistic. Hey, if the guy can survive a 747 crash and look good in a man purse, Ford can do anything.

In the two months since the Department of Labor announced its proposed new overtime standards, much has been written about what it may mean for employers both big and small.
The National Retail Federation's president and CEO Matthew Shay and chief economist Jack Kleinhenz have issued a statement concerning June's employment numbers, released by the Department of Labor.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — A report released by the Labor Department on Thursday showed that the cost of living in the U.S. dropped in May by the most in three years.
The consumer-price index declined 0.3%, more than forecast and the biggest drop since December 2008, after no change the prior month.
Economists projected a 0.2% decrease, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey. The core measure, which excludes food and energy costs, increased 0.2% for a third month.
Food prices reached peak levels last month, according to the Labor Department's Producer Price Index.

Superb sound and image quality and a complex, intelligent perspective help make "Hype!" an engaging as well as thoughtful chronicle of the Seattle rock scene during its decade-long rise to worldwide influence.

Superb sound and image quality and a complex, intelligent perspective help make "Hype!" an engaging as well as thoughtful chronicle of the Seattle rock scene during its decade-long rise to worldwide influence. Since that arc arguably passed its peak a couple of years ago, pic has a retrospective feel that, though it may slightly blunt its commercial chances, actually enhances docu's historical balance. Result is a top-notch specialty item that should fascinate and impress its primary audience, contempo rock fans.Filmed over 3 1/2 years, "Hype!" strikes just the right balance between insiderish enthusiasm and critical detachment. It also does a skillful job integrating music footage with interviews detailing Seattle's transformation from homey local scene to international media phenom. According to survivors, it all began as a backwoods refuge where rain drove kids to the basement to blast out their frustrations on guitar. While indie music's "do it yourself" ethic prospered in other regions during the '80s, in Seattle its effects were especially pronounced. The kids came out of the basement into clubs in record numbers, evolving their own music-biz infrastructure as well as a de facto musical ethos. What became "grunge" blended punk's rawness and heavy metal's thundering volume in a brew that had its own flavor of wry, whimsical disaffection. The attitude soon earned a hipster cachet nationally, thanks partly to the novel anti-marketing marketing schemes of local label Sub Pop, which, as one observer recalls, brazenly promoted itself over its bands. Before long, the national music industry sensed the rumblings. Ironically, the U.S. underground had about decided that Seattle was "over" when, in 1991, a band that's recalled as "the runt of the litter" issued its major-label debut. With the commercial nuclear flash that was Nirvana and its single "Smells Like Teen Spirit," Seattle's culturescape was altered forever. "Absurdity" is the word insiders use to recall how their world changed when global celebrity struck and suddenly everyone wanted to know about, or make a buck off of, the Seattle sound. The gullibility of the New York Times, for example, is tweaked in one local's story of making up a glossary of Seattle "lingo" for a credulous reporter; as pic shows, the Times ran the bogus slang, straight-faced and unverified, as breaking cultural news. Bands such as Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Mudhoney went on to establish themselves as prominent forces in American pop music, but even their members sound notes of frank disillusionment in reflecting on Seattle's commercial ascent. Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, in fact, says it would be "a tragedy" if it turned out these events had no idealistic purpose or lasting benefit. Sensibly, "Hype!" leaves it to the viewer to decide whether that tragedy has already occurred. No doubt, in covering such a vast and densely populated field, pic leaves out much and favors some scene-makers and viewpoints over others. But overall its approach is admirably forthright and lucid, providing a fitting corollary to the candor, humor and personality displayed by docu's interview subjects. These include musicians both famous and unknown, as well as local writers, music producers and label people. Of special note is the exemplary technical quality achieved by director Doug Pray and his crew. Though never glossy, pic's images and editing are sharp and riveting. Even better, sound reproduction has an almost majestic sweep that fittingly renders music that was born to be awesome in its volume and intensity.

Immigration Law
Immigration Law Questions? Ask an Immigration Lawyer.
yes, his green card not yet expired
Are you still there? His resident card is not expired. So, can he get his US Passport in Manila Embassy?
This is so very complicated now because he has the burden of proving he was in your legal and physical custody at the time you naturalized. He does not have that proof in the PI.In addition, he does not have your naturalization certificate or US passport.He could have gotten an expedited passport before he left the US in less than a week. Now has been out for more than a year and if he went to the US Embassy and was denied the passport for lack of evidence required they would then also find he has abandoned his status.So the best thing for him to do is to come home! It may set him back some time in his schooling but if he doesn't get this straightened out immediately he may loose hope of coming back here for a very long time.The airline cannot deny him boarding so you want to get him on US soil as quickly as possible. Yesterday would not be fast enough.Once he is here they inspector may try to deny him entry as a resident. He needs to carry with him his evidence of being in school and of you and his mother being in the US.If they give him any trouble to enter he needs to demand a hearing before an immigration judge because he should say he is coming home and all his family is here. He want a judge to decide if he is a US citizen through you or if he abandoned his resident status because he was only in school temporarily.They will admit him as a resident or they will parole him in and take his card. (Be sure he has scanned his card and emailed it to you front and back.) He should claim US citizenship because you became a citizen when he was 16 and he was living with you. You should be at the airport with your naturalization certificate and US passport to meet him. If they give him problems he needs to tell them you are out there with your proof of citizenship and school records which show he was living with you when you were naturalized.Then once he is here in the US he needs to apply for his passport. He should use his photocopy of his resident card if he is paroled in.It is probably a good idea to retain an attorney once you get your son into the US depending on how he is admitted or paroled into the US.If makes me very sad to see children put into these situations when it could have been so easily solved before he left.Judith

GRIN, who you may know best as the creator of Capcom's Bionic Commando action game, claims that it went bankrupt due to an insane relationship with Square Enix. The company had been working on a "Nordic themed" Final Fantasy spin-off which never came to fruition. The company spoke out (to Swedish publication Aftonbladet) about its relationship with Square Enix, and the picture it paints isn't a pretty one.
The spin-off codenamed "Fortress" never had a chance, according to GRIN founders Ulf and Bo Andersson, because Square Enix was erratic, unreasonable, and contrary in its dealing with GRIN. GRIN says that Square Enix didn't pay any of the $20 million contract it had with the studio to develop the game, even though it met every milestone it was supposed to right up until it went bankrupt in August 2009.
GRIN also claims that Square Enix told them that they didn't like the game's "Nordic style" – despite the fact that Square Enix hired them to deliver such a style. Grin also claims that Square Enix told them that milestones should be filed to its legal department, that they should "fax" code and music to them, and that they would reject anything they sent to them.
Some of GRIN's claims are over the top and hard to believe – particularly the bit about Square Enix wanting GRIN to fax game code. As is usually the case, the truth is somewhere in the middle of the mess, and GRIN has to take some responsibility for the games it developed that ultimately failed.

Commentary by Jeff Commings
PHOENIX, Arizona, September 17. THE Europeans are starting to stack their lineups for December's Duel in the Pool, with Olympic silver medalist Michael Jamieson a good pick to help in the men's breaststroke. Pal Joensen is a blossoming talent in distance freestyle, and with the Americans still rebuilding the elite ranks in distance swimming on the men's side, the Europeans could use that to their advantage.
The rosters for the Europeans will continue to fill up in the coming days and weeks, and I'm willing to bet just about all of my life savings that Hungary's Katinka Hosszu will race in Glasgow. She participated in the 2011 Duel in the Pool, only winning the 400 IM. The way Hosszu has been swimming this year, it would be foolish for the Euro All-Stars organizers to not beg and plead for her to be a part of the team. She could be a clutch performer in all three individual medley events, as well as … well, just about anything. Unfortunately, she might have a limit to the number of events she can swim, but since there's cash on the line for winners, I'm sure we'll see the Hungarian Energizer Bunny in Scotland this December.
As for the rest of the roster of the Euro All-Stars, it depends on who wants to race one more time after the European championships. Just about all of the All-Stars who raced in 2011 came to Atlanta after the European championships, and some did not perform very well, citing jet lag. With this meet being held in Europe, the chances are high that some of Europe's best — including world record holders Rikke Moller Pedersen, Ruta Meilutyte and Daniel Gyurta — could give the Americans their first loss in the Duel in the Pool.
The major selection criteria for choosing the USA team — a maximum of 22 men and 22 women — is picking the fastest American in all the Olympic events and second-fastest in the 100 and 200 free. On paper, that gives the USA a slam-dunk win in the Duel, but not all of those top swimmers will accept the invitation to race in Glasgow.
What handicaps the American team is the collegiate season. Many of the top college swimmers choose to sit out the Duel in the Pool, as the meet comes right after an exhausting week of finals, and during the crucial time they have to visit family and friends at home before holiday training. In 2011, only three Americans on the team were current NCAA athletes, while Missy Franklin and Elizabeth Pelton were the only ones in high school. (Chloe Sutton and Dagny Knutson were of college age, but not part of the NCAA system.)
Franklin will have come off USA Swimming short course nationals, where the California Golden Bears will likely put in a good rest in order to post NCAA qualifying times. With college athletes unable to collect the prize money being offered, will California's head coach Teri McKeever find it pointless to have her best swimmer travel to Scotland for a two-day meet? The top five in the 100 backstroke alone are all college students, which means USA Swimming might have to go all the way down to sixth-ranked Kathleen Baker, who is a high school junior.
In this case, Natalie Coughlin would be an excellent choice for the team. She can swim just about anything, and would thrive in the dual meet format. Though she's putting full focus on freestyle in this new chapter of her swimming career, she should consider stepping into the 100 back in Glasgow, as well as the 100 fly. Next to Franklin, she's probably the most versatile American female on the national team.
Though Pedersen, Meilutyte and Yulia Efimova have not confirmed their intentions to swim in the Duel in the Pool, the Americans will need more than Jessica Hardy to collect points in the breaststroke events. Micah Lawrence is done with her collegiate eligibility, so she could show up and help Hardy negate the European breaststroke dominance. Breeja Larson could be a big help as well, but the Texas A&M senior might be too focused on a big finish to her NCAA career to think much of the Duel in the Pool.
Katie Ledecky is a likely candidate for the Duel in the Pool team. The high school junior would be able to swim the 200, 400 and 800 freestyles and do very well in all three.
The Duel in the Pool could also be an opportunity for Allison Schmitt to show the world that 2013 was just a stumble on the Road to Rio. A good 200 freestyle race against old foe Camille Muffat would go a long way to restoring Schmitt's confidence and get her back on track for 2014.
A few of Schmitt's teammates at North Baltimore Aquatic Club could be racing in the meet as well. Conor Dwyer sent a Twitter message to a follower that he's planning to attend the Duel in the Pool, and he will be a vital addition, able to swim just about any freestyle event and the individual medleys. Matt McLean could also help out in all the freestyle events, especially the distance events in which the Americans are not as strong. And Yannick Agnel will likely be a part of the European team, though it depends on the swimmers the French federation invites to the meet.
It's not a safe bet that Ryan Lochte will be on the American roster, but USA Swimming should do everything in its power to convince him to attend. He'll be adjusting to a new training group, whether in the States or abroad, and might want to take the fall and winter to acclimate to the new surroundings. If he decides to show up for nationals in December, he could extend his taper for the Duel in the Pool. His appearance would be a big draw for the meet, as he's a popular face in every part of the globe, and he could score points in virtually in event on the program.
Breaststroke will suffer if Kevin Cordes is not part of the group, a strong possibility since Arizona puts in a good rest for nationals in order to qualify the majority of the team for NCAAs. Mike Alexandrov is always a clutch performer for the USA, and it's likely he'll step up to score points. BJ Johnson could also be a big point scorer in the breaststroke, but graduate school studies at Stanford might be keeping him in the libraries more than the pool this season. Cody Miller, a senior at Indiana, could be another multiple-event swimmer for the USA, and if school doesn't bog him down, the Americans could use his help in the breaststroke and IM races.
Three swimmers who could step up in just about any event (except breaststroke) at the Duel in the Pool are wild cards, just like Lochte. Are Ricky Berens, Matt Grevers and Tyler Clary weighing the possibilities of a pre-holiday trip to Scotland for the chance to build up some crucial gift-buying funds? These three could also do some damage to the American records in short course meters, and the chance to add your name to the record book should be an enticing carrot to hang in front of them.
And then there's Anthony Ervin. He'll be coming off a big tour of the Middle East and Asia in the FINA World Cup. Will he have had enough of travel, even if it means missing another meet with cash on the line? If he skips it, Grevers and Berens would be just fine in the 50 freestyle.
With 22 spots available each for the American women and men, I'm expecting to see some names that weren't on my radar. I could be wrong in dismissing just about all of the college swimmers eligible to swim in the meet. This could be the year that the American winning streak in the Duel in the Pool ends, but it depends on who says yes when USA Swimming gives them the call.
One more thing. The USA vs. Europe concept is nice, but I would love to see this meet go back to the Americans facing just one country. If Australia isn't game to renew the rivalry, Japan would be a very good alternative.

Edward Hirsch's strong, arresting poems have been praised from the start of his career. Of his second book, Wild Gratitude, Robert Penn Warren said, "I am convinced that the best poems here are unsurpassed in our time". This, his fourth collection, contains his finest work. From gritty, apocalyptic views of the urban Midwest to brilliantly empathetic portrayals of Simone Weil and Hugo von Hofmannsthal, the range of poems is at once wide and subtle. "In the Midwest" speaks of the nightmare of abandon and decay; "From a Train (Hofmannsthal in Greece)" is the poet's compelling view of a timeless landscape; "The Italian Muse" is a meditation on Henry James in Rome; "Luminist Paintings at the National Gallery" beautifully evokes the sense of nineteenth-century American countryside. There is an argument about transcendence in these poems, an evocation of American spaces and European landscapes, a quest for reconciliation to the earth as it is. Hirsch's work, as Anthony Hecht has said, "has not only the courage of its strong emotions, but the language and form that makes and keeps them clear and true".

UMass Battles, But Falls To Richmond In A-10s, 77-72
March 12, 2010
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. - After a nice run to reach the Atlantic 10 Quarterfinals, the UMass basketball season came to an end on Friday night at Boardwalk Hall in a 77-72 loss to Richmond. The third-seeded Spiders advanced to the A-10 Semifinals to play No. 2 seed Xavier on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. The 11th-seeded Minutemen finish their second season under Derek Kellogg with a 12-20 record.
The Spiders (25-7 overall) were deadly from 3-point range making 11-for-20 in the game including 9-of-13 in the first half. Richmond led the game from wire-to-wire, building a lead as large as 17.
Senior Ricky Harris played in his final game as a Minuteman and finished with 19 points, giving him 1,960 in his career, to rank third all-time at UMass. Harris also finished second in career made 3-pointers (276), second in 3-pointers attempted (795), third in field goal attempts (1,534), fourth in career steals (147) and fifth in games played (129).
Junior Anthony Gurley, who always plays well at Boardwalk Hall, matched his career-high with 24 points to lead UMass. His previous 24-point game came vs. Michigan State in November's Legends Classic.
Richmond, a probable NCAA Tournament team had five players score in double-was led by David Gonzalvez (15 points). Also chipping in to the well-rounded effort were Ryan Butler (14 points), Kevin Smith (14 points), Justin Harper (13 points), and Kevin Anderson (13 points).
Terrell Vinson had 10 points and eight rebounds, while Sean Carter led the Minutemen on the boards with nine rebounds.
UMass rallied from 17 down at halftime to cut the deficit to just four on a 3-pointer by Gary Correia with 40 seconds left in the second half. The Minutemen later drew to within three with 7.3 seconds left on three free throws by Harris, but Kevin Smith's breakaway dunk on the ensuing inbounds iced the game for the Spiders.
Freddie Riley's follow lay-in brought the Minutemen to within eight at 66-58 with 2:47 remaining.
Richmond led 38-21 at halftime as they made 9-of-13 from 3-point range. Butler and Gonzalvez each canned three 3-pointers. UMass was just 1-of-10 from beyond the mark in the first 20 minutes.
The Spiders jumped out to a 19-6 lead on Butler's second 3-pointer of the game with 11:03 left in the first. Richmond started out hot from 3-point range hitting treys for each of its first four baskets of the game and a 12-6 lead with 14:30 left in the first. The 3-pointers came from four different players (Anderson, Harper, Gonzalvez and Butler).

Alright, I have a funny question - sort of - for you guys. I live in Ann Arbor, and frequently see people riding in the bike lanes, on the side of the road, in the middle of the road, on the sidewalks etc. Basically, they ride anywhere and everywhere. Well, I am in the middle of reading Bike Snob: Systematically and Mercilessly Realigning the World of Cycling by Bike Snob NYC, and he mentioned about people riding on the sidewalk, how he dislikes them, how other cyclists dislike them, how pedestrians dislike them etc. This is a great read, by the way, funny, yet informative. Next up, is the sequel, The Enlightened Cyclist: Commuter Angst, Dangerous Drivers, and Other Obstables on the Path to Two-Wheeled Transcendence.
My question is this: "How do others feel about riding on the sidewalk?" I will admit, since I am relatively new to city cycling, and have ridden on the sidewalk, due to nervousness about riding on the streets (my own inexperience/stupidity - with my disablity/minor balance issues - & drivers).
Answers? Thoughts? Tips? Suggestions?

With all the anguish that is around at the moment, about tax dodgers, I am wondering whether there is perhaps a simple solution, which doesn't involve snooping, closing loopholes and so on. In this country we have a theoretically simple concept of the 'legal entity', and it is the legal entity which carries tax liablity whether it is a person or company. Oddly, if when you go into business, you decide that legal entity is yourself, by either becoming a sole trader or partnership, the inflows to the business are all taxable, less the deductibles. If you become a company, limited in some way, the money is not yours, but your company's, and attracts, firstly, corporation tax, and then whatever is paid out as wages attracts personal income tax. The company has the benefit of a tax deduction on the amount it pays out. The silly part is that the company can be wholly owned by its directors, and in practice, the company income is theirs, to take when it is advantageous to do so. In the case of my own business, this works fine. However, it gives me a number of opportunities to 'optimise' tax liability, which I take with enthusiasm.
My business has never turned a loss, but a few years ago, we were able to disperse most of our tax liability by buying an overseas subsidiary, which at the time, was loss making. It supplies us with fabricated metal parts and wind turbines for our products, and the British tax system kindly allows us to set the most advantageous price for these parts, which of course, are tax-deductible. This maximises profits for our business, and the price we actually pay to our wholly-owned subsidiary in Israel is largely irrelevant. We can, but don't, also adjust prices, according to our level of profitability, to lessen or increase the tax liability of the subsidiary, which is, incidentally, a much larger company than the parent.
So far so good, you might say, because all income is seeming to get taxed, we are providing employment, and so it's all OK. It's not. By adjusting the salaries and dividends paid to our UK personnel, and coordinating that with paying more for our parts from Israel, we could, in theory, wipe out our profits, and reduce the tax take in this country by subsidising the Israeli incorporated firm. In theory, they would have a greater tax liability in Israel, but in practice they would not, because they would be rewarded for exporting by the Israeli tax system, which is pretty much as stupid as ours.
There are two points to all this: one is that the prices charged for goods are not actual market prices, and the second point is that we could decide to pay high prices for our Israeli made goods, then simply pay our dividends from Israel, reducing our corporation tax, and the tax liability of the Israeli company. e don't actually do this, because the amounts of money are not enough to make it worth the bother. But for bigger companies, it could well be. It could all be stopped very quickly by regarding directors' pay as profit instead of a deductible loss, and by abolishing tax deductions, which serve no real purpose other than to be a means of fiddling tax, distort markets, and provide jobs for thousands of collectors.

Guest Post By Laney
Girls get friend-zoned too. It's not exactly the same as what happens to guys, but it blows just as much. Liking a guy and having him feel anything but the same way back flat out sucks. Ladies, for the purposes of this blog, let's consider this definition of the friend-zone: He wants to be anything but your boyfriend.
This is for anyone with a crush that seems to be going nowhere. You may want to make things officially serious with this guy, but he's got you in the friend-zone if:
1) He has a girlfriend.
This seems like an obvious one, but there are still girls out there hoping for that '80s movie-moment where their best guy-friend leaves his lame girlfriend to whisk them off their feet, that, well, only happens in '80s teen movies. If he has a girlfriend, you are in the friend zone. He is not going to leave her for you, regardless of what interactions you have with him. He may even try to sleep with you, but all that means is that he's not even a very good friend.
2) He has a profile on a dating site.
He's actively dating… anyone but you. The reason he isn't asking you out is as simple as this: he does not want to.
3) He brags about his conquests in front of you.
You are officially one of the guys. It's been my experience that you can recover from this one, but for the time being, you've been 'zoned. You may be his best girl-friend, but you are not his girlfriend. Don't get the two confused; you don't want to be that girl.
4) You are always the one to plan stuff or initiate outings.
There's this little known (or I should say, widely known yet rarely accepted) phenomenon that when a guy likes you, he makes an effort to hang out with you. Under most circumstances, if he is interested in you, he will call you. That whole "guys like the chase" thing isn't really a myth.
5) He booty calls you or initiates a friends-with-benefits situation.
Guys very rarely turn from sex buddies into boyfriends. It's just not the way they're wired. Sleeping with him is not always going to make him like you. It's going to make him like sleeping with you.
I'm all for gray-area relationships, but you have to know that you're in one and be ok with it. In my decade of dating, I've fallen hard for a guy in every one of the above scenarios, and it sucks. If you are emotionally invested, this is when you should turn around and run. Walking away or moving on might hurt, but it'll hurt a lot more after you've slept with him and left your dignity in his nightstand.
He is not the one!,

I State now 4-0 with a 41 point win.
Gilstrap and Brackins combine for 49 points
The thing I liked about this game is how quick I State was able to get out of a slump. We started out ugly... turnovers... bad shots... the whole works. But we didn't ride it out till half and make adjustments then. They turned things around by the 5 minute mark and built a 44-22 lead by half. Things weren't going well for Craig and Gilstrap early. But they didn't let the bad falls get them out of their game.
Craig almost had a double double by half and rebounded extremely well. He displayed an unstoppable jumper throughout the game.
Gilstrap droppin some treys really started to show his scoring ability this game. (And continues to rebound well too)
DG was a little more sloppy than we've seen so far... (but he's set the bar so high and had a good game overall and got to the freethrow line a few times). Continues to put up the assists like crazy.
Colvin... I love his game... but hasn't had much success finishing at the rim in contact so far this year. I know he can... just hope it comes around by conference.
All in all... fairly solid play by all those not mentioned. Mistakes here and there.= But they all did a good job helping Craig and Gilstrap get their points.
I wasn't impressed with the officiating this game.
Much better job rebounding as a team. But we need to hit our free throws better.
Oh and a final note. Craig attempted a tough putback dunk that flew 20 feet in the air and dropped back in with a swish. That was pretty cool. I hear he'd been working on that one all week.
Good: Everything
Bad: Free throw shooting
Ugly: Cameraman
Really happy with what I'm seeing so far and am excited that McD has the opportunity to use these tune-ups games for what they're really for - tuning up.
This score should be about right for the Texas/iowa game Tuesday.
lmao. Thats all i have to say.
"Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."
Stewo you're giving iowa too much credit, they can only put up 55 against bowling green and UTSA. i think 40 sounds right for iowa.
Good solid effort. Everyone contributed. Thought the defense was pretty solid all throughout the game.

About time we see some Top 25 talk soon. We are not just beating these poor teams, were crushing them. Maybe after we beat Notre Dame/Northwestern....
We are good.

I like this stat A LOT. Makes me happy.
Gotta love a slow start still ending in a 40 point win.
Rebounding much better this game. Field goal shooting still good. Free throw shooting not so hot though still. That really has to improve, IMO, before conference play starts.
Glad to see MG get some points. Wish Lucca had scored more, just because. DG is impressive with his assists. Was glad they continued to build the lead in the second half. They have not always done that this year.
Good game overall. My 2 cents.
I remember last year when scoring over 60 points was a struggle, now it seems like scoring under 70 points is going to be a struggle. This years team is night and day compared to last years one.

Here in Kansas City, we are not without a wide variety of family-friendly activities to keep us on the move virtually all year long. (If your family is going a little stir-crazy after 3+ snow days, check out this post for some great indoor, kid-friendly KC hot spots. You'll thank us for it!) But what do you do when you feel like you've seen it all?
Just a short drive west of town on I-70 (or K-10 out of Johnson County), the city of Lawrence has some entertaining options for all ages! Massachusetts Street, locally known as "Mass Street," is home to some of the area's best shopping, food, and entertainment for families. For a taste that's uniquely Lawrence, check out Rudy's Pizzeria – voted "Best of Lawrence" three years in a row! Their pizza menu boasts "everything from avocado to zucchini" so it's safe to say that if you've dreamt of something on a pizza, Rudy's has probably already tried it (and maybe even added it to their menu!). If sweet treats are more your style, then Sylas and Maddy's Ice Cream should be a must-stop on any visit to Lawrence. (When you fall in love with their homemade ice cream, know that you can find that same flavor at the Sylas and Maddy's location in Olathe as well as at Palmer's Candies & Ice Cream, Miami Ice, and Sweet Caroline's right here in the metro area!)
Kids young and old will enjoy The Toy Store which is so much more than just another toy store – it offers things like discovery stations, reading and craft areas, and train tables as well as craft classes and summer events for kids of all ages. If learning and nature are more your style, then you'll want to check out one of Lawrence's many parks, nature centers and museums (like South Park, conveniently located on Mass Street).

Alana Wyatt-Smith Tell All Book (Mos Def Wife)
Alana Wyatt-Smith Tell All Book "Breaking the Code of Silence" (Mos Def Wife) – Alana Wyatt-Smith who was married to Mos Def is about to publish a scandalous tell all book called Breaking the Code of Silence,about their private life,and all the professional athletes and celebrities she had relationships with.Alana just like Superhead,aka Karrine Steffans is a former stripper,she has this to say about her book:
"I disagree with putting names of people in there, just out of respect for their wives and children." "If this was about making money, getting rich, I could have wrote a tell-all book, 10 times better than Karrine Steffens. People want to know about the biggest names in the NBA, who proposed to who, and did what, and this and that; I could have put some stuff in there that would have made it a No. 1 seller within days. I use nicknames, initials, that myself and the gentleman would know; the ones named I got permission from."
Here are excerpts from Breaking the Code of Silence:
"He had asked me if I would attend a MuchMusic performance featuring Kanye West. Now, that was a little awkward because a year prior I had met Kanye in Vegas and we had a moment! NOT SEXUAL! I REPEAT, KANYE WEST and I NEVER have had sexual relations." "Much to my surprise, Mos introduced me as his wife.""There were stories that we may have been on drugs when we go married…..it was true honest love at first sight; although it took me a while to get to know him, and I think it was more in his heart than it was in mine. I kind of went along with it."
"I don't believe that his intent was to hurt me, I believe that he was trying to prove a point.""But I had shared and cried with him many nights about my past (abusive) situation and I asked of him not to do that, because it brings back memories; so I found it to be more disrespectful, because he knew what I had been through.""He won't sign the papers," she said. "He told my lawyer if he can't have me, nobody else will."To keep the guys away, honestly," she demurred on the subject of the flashy diamond. She's sweet and chatty, but just as contradictory on the subject of her, well, husband: on one hand blaming their incompatibility on her inability to be submissive; on the other expressing a desire to reconcile — "Since Mos, I have yet to experience being loved."
"You have the girl out there that's 35, 36, still carrying around the fact that her uncle molested her when she was 7 years old and hasn't told nobody. That is a horrible thing to walk around with, I've done it.
"Then there's the woman out there who doesn't know the difference between `Is he my lover? Is he my pimp?;' I've been there. Or, `I'm dating this NBA player, he flies me to 13 cities straight out of 82 games, I think he's in love with me, but does he really like me?' No, I've done it. And `Oh, my gosh! I thought he really liked me, we built this huge chemistry up until he came here, then he never called me after we slept together;' I've been there. I saw death; I wound up on a hospital bed for three months because of my first boyfriend.
"If you have a question, I can answer it,"
"Even sitting around a jail or shelter with abused women, that's the thrill I'm going to get from this book. I've never been a Louis Vuitton shopper type. I'm not fancy, I'm not expensive. In fact, I've never owned a Louis Vuitton bag."

Getting married after 3 days of knowing eachother? 6 kids, one of which is a stepchild with 4 different women? The Mourning Bride" (1697) by William Congreve. The complete quote is "Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned / Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned."
I am shaking my head at this woman and I use the term loosely. She wants to slam a man because of what? She is not innocent nor is he. She is a groupie and uses her looks and sexuality to her advantage. Maybe, just maybe if she did not drop out of school in 7th grade she would have had more wherewithall to know better to marry ANY man in 96 hours. Had he not been Mos Def would she have married him?! Be real peeps she is a gold digger and using men as pawns to claw a way to the top and make a name for herself. Men need to wake up and stop falling prey to the REAL devil and his minions. Wonders if she will write about guys without notoriety. Why not just walk away with your pride, what little you have, and just say this is another chapter that is closed in your life? Amazing that these guys continue to keep putting their credibility on the line all for the p$$$y. Can't say I feel sorry for Mos but noone deserves this. Golddiggers are a terrible breed and need to be shutdown. But as the old saying goes, wars have been started over p$$$y and until men wakeup and stop falling for the beauty and p$$$y this will be their fate. Books and interview with salacious details all to gain money and notoriety, no matter how brief, for the groupies. Big ups to the guys, famous and not so famous, who know the truth and light.
your marriage wasn't even legal.
cuz he was still married to his first wife till october of 06.
and u know very well u were both high as a F$$$$$g kite on mushrooms. u
are a sorry excuse for a woman, a groupie and whatever the f$$k else u are.
knowing how many kids and families he has, knowing how many people he needs to support and here u come with this b$$$$$$t.
all yal shakin yall head and quick to judge. i dont understand why, ya she lived a life that would be classified under many negative names but who are you to judge. Instead of all the put downs why wouldn't you not be encouraging or praying for her to better her life. This is wats so corrupt about the society we live in today we turn against each other expecially females they can be the most trifling. Yea the world may call her a h$e, groupie, and all the rest of negative things they want but as an individual you should be different it takes one person to do something and the rest of the world would follow. She had a real hard life and also did somethings just to get somewhere or be somebody in life everyone does it just maybe in a more positive way..ain't much to explain but instead of all the negative thought maybe a little encouragement for a change of life style would be a help to her. And all things are possible through God so maybe one day she will trust and believe that no man can love her like he will or give her want she wants like he will with asking for one thing in return is to know and accept him as your personal savior. My prayers go out to her to seek Christ and change her lifestyle and use all she has been through as a testimony to young females heading down the same road.
I love Mos Def as an artist. But to marry a stripper/prostitue on site w/ a 7th grade education!… You went to the bottom of the barrel on this one bruh. That's just a hoodrat that made it to the top. I don't want to say that's what you get, but i can say," did you expect different"?.. She fotchu dawg, now she's going to burn you. You slipped on this one bruh.
I don't see how she was able to write a book. I've heard her speak during interviews, and from reading up above its obvious she is not very bright. I am a college educated woman and I would NEVER take advice from her "self-help" book. She has NO good advice to give a young girl. She used the men she dated and they used her. So they are even. She allowed it. I too was a victim of sexual and emotional abuse and guess what…I'm not a gold-digger and I don't sleep with men to get money. People like this are not women…they are stupid human beings. She should feel blessed that she is not in the Sudan or the Congo–those women don't have a choice. I don't pity her.
Its sad yet comical how men base their decisions(w/ their eyes and phallus) on sharing material wealth or DNA but women are considered the erratic, emotional thinkers. I agree with some of the previous responses but do not judge Alana Wyatt with such haste – a man chooses a women according to these religious texts. Dante Smith chose an emotionally damaged "ho" for a wife so what does that say about his character? Often men seek out those type women to abuse, exploit for sex or use as decoration which is perverse and objectifying.
Judging from his past, it doesn't seem he can maintain healthy relationships (unless he is deliberately doing a Bob Marley repopulating the globe with reckless breeding w/o maintaining a base or stability)
Only in this world do we blame the victim. Grimy or not, she doesn't deserve to be abused or mistreated. He most likely proposed to Her so that was his choice. He is an pseudo intellectual entertainer….not Malcolm X sheesh. Rappers can pretend to be thugs or pretend to be conscious. Men will be men even the funny looking poor literate ones who frequent okayplayer.$$m crave trophies; just dont have the charisma or money to obtain beauty naturally. Once they get one, they will mistreat them like any other woman. (Never understood how any man could lay his hands on Tammi Terrell)
God bless light skin and baby hair. Gets 'em every time. I need to hang with her Karrine, Kim K and Tila Tequila. These ladies know how to retire in peace, jk 🙂 Alana is amazing to look at. Just dont dog her out, he is equally if responsible for the divorce if not mostly.
Ok the marriage wasn't legal.
She showed her intentions when she referenced Karrine Steffens.
She is not first women with this type of story and sadly she won't be the last.
If she wanted to use this just to help other girls in this situation, then why drop "nick" names?…because she knew famous "abusers" can promote more $$$$.
Come on Alana, aren't you tired of being just used for your looks.
Don't let people simplify you down to what they see.
If this book is the only way to better yourself, than I truly feel sorry for you, but not enough to buy/read the book.
So…. I was at a strip club in the GTA, and this Alana chick was goin from girl to girl tryin to recruit video hoes for some "Up n coming" (no name) artist. Her claim to fame was, "I'm Mos Defs wife!!!:)". I'm sorry but if you're tryin to sell an image of a rehabiltated, gold diggin, ex stripper. The last thing you should do is try to pimp strippers to your wanna be rapper friends! I'm just sayin!
I read the interview with her on the Hip Hop magazine page about the book. It speaks of the movie he did in Brazil and how she made to be part of Mos Def's career and she was not used to long hours on set and so on. It also spoke of Mos abusing her and wanting her to be on set at all times and if she didn't he abused her and so on and so on…
Well, I was there in Brazil and I worked on the show shoulder to shoulder with Mos Def and all the other stars on the show. I am friends with the producers on the show and spent most of my time with them there. I know the entire story day by day and minute to minute and it was quite different from the story in the book and what was said in the interview!
First off Mos was late getting to Brazil because of what he called some small problems at home. He finally arrived in Brazil and had three friends with him. His cousin, a body guard and one other friend. There was no wife to be seen.
As soon as Mos hit the ground in Brazil his phone was ringing. His wife was pressuring him to come home before he even got his luggage.
Mos went to the Hotel and called us to confirm his arrival.
The talk on the set indicated that she was calling him over and over telling him to come back the U.S.
He told her over and over that he was under contract and could not leave until he was finished. She continued to pressured him until he finally agreed to fly her to Brazil. This was the worst mistake he could have made. She seemed nice at first and me and many others were surprised at her beauty. She was about 115 pounds at the time and very attractive. But as time went on she continued to pressure Mos to leave with her and go back to the United States. He of course continued to tell her he could not. She got nasty and more assertive. Finally one day we came out on the set to begin for the day and drove in on a very strange scene. The women on the set were crying and the men trying to comfort them and calm them down. The producers were riding with me and immediately wanted answers. Come to find out Mos Def's wife had called the Brazilian police and tipped them that Mos was selling drugs from his production trailer. They take that very seriously there. They put all out crew against the concrete wall and held them there at gun point while they proceeded to rip through every trailer there searching for drugs. This was a very bad day for everyone and how Mos gave such a convincing performance through all this I will never know other than the fact the man is a pro. She played head games with him the whole time and I never saw him so much as raise his voice to her.
I don't know about the book because I have not and will not read it but I can tell you from first hand that the part about the movie in Brazil was totally incorrect. If there was abuse going on she was the abuser from what I and everyone else saw. Baring this in mind I find this book very hard to believe based on the fabrications I saw firsthand. I had contact with Mos on the film several times and found him to be a very intelligent and interesting guy with a calm and soothing spirit. I never saw nor did anyone else in Brazil the man described in this book.
