Looks like it's between KSU and Mizzou. Both are 8-6 and split their 2 games. Both look like they will probably split their final two games. The Big 12 tiebreaker says the team with an advantage in head-to-head competition shall be the higher seed. Does that mean their records vs North Division teams? Any info on this would be appreciated.
Also who does everyone want that team to be?

Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
I and everyone else should want KSU out of that.
I also agree with KSU. Mizzou is not a good matchup.
I am not so sure K-State is getting really hot
mred's Big 12 Tournament Bracket Generator
It's looking like Wednesday afternoon ISU will probably be playing KSU in both the men's and women's tournament at around the same time. That's sucks to have to choose which game to go to. I'll be going to the men's game.
not Missouri
ksu is dangerous
In seasons like this, I always hope for the best, to extend the season and possibly pull off one stunner before it's over. ISU typically never elevates above expectations in the Big 8/Big 12 tournament.
I have to say, I don't like either matchup. If it's Mizzou, I think the loss in Columbia is slightly closer to "accurate" between the two season matchups.
If it's KSU, Iowa State blew the game in Ames, and if the game in Manhattan is either a close loss or close win, Kansas State will probably just take care of business. If the season finale is a blowout loss to KSU, the Cyclones will probably play extremely close but fall short.
This year's conference tournament might have been interesting for us if we had finished in the 9-10-11 range. Winning at least one game vs. 6-7-8, considering the balance in the middle, on a neutral court ... that seems better than facing a tournament lock that doesn't want its seed to slip.
It really makes no difference who we play in KC, because as bad as this team is its gonna be One and Done..........
It doesn't matter who the first one is because we'll beat all four opponents. It just doesn't matter what their name is.
Of the two here, I'd prefer KSU. I don't think we need to wake up to much more Missouri.
Kansas Must Be Destroyed
Sic Semper Jayhawks
rather play k-state than mizzou, we play k-state last game of the season at K-State. But, Big 12 gets like 3 games in the tourney on ESPN/ESPN2, two second round games and the championship game. All the other games are on the Big 12 Network. And for a person living in Big 10 country thats a =(
Playing colorado and kSU first and second round might be fun! Pulling off a couple possible upsets would be nice

Dear all,
I recently received a report from a user that describes an issue with replying to email through the web interface:
"I get so many emails that to keep on top of the priority ones, I open them when I receive them. But I usually don't have time to answer straightaway. When I go back to them, they are blank when I reply. The problem with blank emails is the same in both Firefox and Chrome. This morning, I opened an email at the same time in FF and Chrome and 45 minutes later I replied and both are blank."
In the attached screenshot you can see there is no original email content below the horizontal ruler, just the FROM/TO etc. fields.
Any idea what causes this? I cannot seem to find a bug report about this either...
The zimbra version is 8.0.3

Kansas City, Mo. – A former Kansas City Chiefs linebacker says he was never told that he would have severe disabilities later in life for continuing to play in games after sustaining a concussion.
Five former Kansas City Chiefs players are suing the team, claiming it hid the risks of head injuries.
The plaintiffs in the county circuit court lawsuit are Leonard Griffin, Chris Martin and his wife, Joe Phillips, Alexander Louis Cooper and Kevin Porter. All say they are suffering from brain damage - specifically chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE.
The lawsuit filed Tuesday accuses the Chiefs of negligence, negligent misrepresentation, fraudulent concealment and loss of consortium between the plaintiffs and their wives. The plaintiffs want a jury trial and more than $15,000 on each count for actual and punitive damages.
All players were on the team between 1987 and 1991 - a stretch during which no collective bargaining agreement was in place in the NFL.
Chris Martin is one of five former Chiefs players who filed a lawsuit in Jackson County on Tuesday against the Chiefs organization for failing to disclose the dangers of competing after suffering head injuries.
Suburban Kansas City attorney Ken McClain is representing the players.
McClain says a proposed $765 million settlement by the NFL to compensate former players with brain injuries is insufficient and doesn't cover any of his clients in their case against the Chiefs.
The team has refused to comment on the lawsuit.

schoolchildren across the country begin writing that
all-important classic essay in their English classes so
too must I put digital "pen" to
"paper" and chronicle the mighty summer efforts
of the general access lab managers to continue to upgrade
and maintain their facilities and services. Some of these
changes include equipment and software upgrades, the
redistribution of resources, and in one case, the
redesign of an entire lab area.
In the area of equipment upgrades the College of Arts and
Sciences leads the way by outfitting all four of its
facilities with Pentium4 2-Ghz machines. The College of
Music lab has replaced its Pentium computers with new
P4s. The College of Business lab has added color laser
printing to all of its printing areas and has developed
policies for the use of these new machines. They have
also purchased new P4's. The Academic
Computing Services lab has a sleek new look with
17-inch flat-panel displays replacing its old large
monitors. This has freed up considerable workspace at
each computer station. The Willis
24-hr lab has new tables, 17-inch flat panel screens, and
P4 machines on order and looks forward to having them in
place by mid-fall. Finally despite a tragic robbery in
mid-summer, the School of Visual Arts lab is replacing
the stolen equipment and is ready to roll for the fall.
Software upgrades have also been a part of lab
improvements this summer. Charles Andrews, manager of the
College of Education lab reports that COE has moved to
Windows 2000 and lab visitors will now log in using their
EUID to access the lab workstations. Additionally,
software provided by Lift
that works in conjunction with DreamweaverMX and
FrontPage 2002 will be available for students and student
workers in the COE lab to test web sites for
federal/state/university accessibility standards. The
software walks the user through making the necessary
correction needed to meet standards. Shortly, all web
sites on the various UNT web servers will be required to
meet these standards, including instructor course
materials. The COE lab is providing facilities for anyone
to analyze their web site and to adjust it as needed. The
lab located
in the School of Community Service has also moved to
Windows 2000.
Refurbishing and redecorating activities have also
flourished. The Graduate
Student General Access Lab located in the School of
Library and Information Science is replacing all of its
old workstation counters with new tables. The general
access lab
located in the School of Community Service (Chilton Hall)
will have 10 additional machines available after a
redistribution from the Chilton 116 lab. Finally, the
Academic Computing Services Lab will have a major
restructuring and "facelift" as it becomes the
new facility for special needs students. This redesign
and reorganization is covered in a separate
article in this issue of Benchmarks Online.
Important reminders about lab
hours for the fall include new hours for the Graduate
Student General Access Lab which will now be open
Monday-Thursday, 8:00am to 11:00pm; Friday and Saturday,
8:00am to 10:00pm; and Sunday, 12:00pm to 10:00pm. The
Willis 24-hour Lab will continue to serve the needs of
night owls everywhere. Be sure the check out the General Access Lab System
Website for a thorough review of lab locations,
hours, and policies. We look forward to seeing you this

Neo wrote:
>> What sort of problem are you talking about where RDM becomes >> impractical?
I think this requires second-order predicate logic to state the question. Standard Relational Database theory only deals with first-order logic.
So you could say a deficiency of the relational model is that it can't handle questions that can only be expressed in higher order logics.
You can add operators for specific situations, for example "transitive closure". Or add some kind of induction or recursion to the standard theory. But I'm not sure if there is a rigorous way to cover all possible higher-order queries.
I found this on sci.logic:
"First-order logic cannot express notions such as "connectedness" (or, for example, the notion of the transitive closure of a relation) _by itself_. But there are well-known first-order theories (such as ZFC) in which everything we know about connectedness can be expressed. The determined advocate of the proposition that "FOL = logic" will have no trouble at all talking about connectedness; but connectedness will not be a logical notion for him (but, for example, a set-theoretical notion)."
See also the thread on this newsgroup from 2002 titled: "Expressibility question".
And an interesting exchange here:
http://www-ksl.stanford.edu/email-archives/srkb.messages/331.html "The problem, in practice, is mathematical induction. Many truths can only be proved if we have some form of induction principle. Induction principles are naturally second order. First order induction schemes are HARDER to compute with than higher order principles invoked with higher order matching and unification. Higher order unification may be bad, but wait till you try to use a first order induction scheme!"
I'm not sure but I think the "recursive" additions to standard relational database theory you get with some DBMSs are using a first order induction scheme.
See here for a nice description of second order logic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-order_logic
In particular:
"Second-order logic lacks soundness and completeness theorems"
Which is why it isn't used for relational theory perhaps?

No shame: Obama's sequestration was "designed as budget threat, not budget strategy" [Darleen Click]

interesting that the threat as food stamp understood it was aimed squarely at our national security

It doesn't do to display shame when one is trying to bamboozle people. They might catch on, and that would be counterproductive.
leigh says February 10, 2013 at 2:58 pm
ObaZma would do well to remember threats can backfire.
Dave J says February 10, 2013 at 3:51 pm
It is all he and his team have, threats….it is the Chicago way. The only strategy that they come up with is to threaten those of differing opinions….Be advised that any downside related to sequestration will be the fault of the republicans and mostly the Tea Party.
StrangernFiction says February 10, 2013 at 3:53 pm
Remember Durbin's defense for the 'rats striking of the words God and Jerusalem from the party platform:
Bret, let me just say, I chaired the platform committee for two Democratic conventions. We produced the most unread document in the history of American politics, to suggest that this document and the insertion of two words here and one word there, now defines politics in America suggests to me that you're not focusing on the real issues that American care about.
Like the cornered actor, playing the "I'm just an actor card."
These freaks are something to behold.
leigh says February 10, 2013 at 3:54 pm
Big deal. Everything is already the fault of the republicans and the TEA Party.
Obama and congressional Democrats weren't bargaining in good faith? Who could have known?
LBascom says February 10, 2013 at 6:09 pm
Obama's sequestration was "designed as budget threat, not budget strategy"
This is not news to anyone other than the low information crowd, who is busy watching Kim Kardashian and don't care.
The rest of us figured it out four years ago when "fundamentally transforming the country" became "I won".
Well, last November "we lost".
Dreaming of a savior in 2016 requires the faith of Danial. I struggle…I really do…
happyfeet says February 10, 2013 at 6:15 pm
at this point the fascists are probably pretty keen for their vanquished Team R foes to believe fairly ardently in the myth of salvation
especially as opposed to getting Other Ideas
leigh says February 10, 2013 at 6:15 pm
Dream of simple, yet sure competence, Lee. It's easier that way.

Today was NOT a good day for me. My intentions were to get up, go to the Silver Comet Trail and bust off another 10-15 miles, come home and eat a good dinner and watch LSU beat Alabama (Geaux Tigers!).
What actually happened was, I got up and started watching Gameday on ESPN. Got sucked in to that and then the first game came on. I figured, what the heck and watched it thinking I would go ride after that game. I got hungry about then and figured I would order a pizza so i could have some today and put the rest up for tomorrow.
Well, before I knew it, I had eaten the WHOLE pizza! Now, that in itself would make me a TERRIBLE diabetic, but the day was not over. OH NO!
I proceeded to sit on my butt all day, watching football and ended up going to the store to get a snack. I seriously went to get something healthy. Really, I did! Ended up with a 20oz Coke and three candy bars. And yes, I drank the Coke and ate two of the candy bars before I realized it.
So, instead of going to knock out my miles today, I spent the day with an old love of mine...PIZZA and CANDY! It was like I couldn't stop myself. I craved it. I NEEDED it! I would have done a chocolate IV today, if it was offered to me, I think.
All of my hard work...down the drain.

It sounds like something out of a science fiction movie—or nightmare: millions of honeybees suddenly dying off, their bodies never found. Scientists have named the phenomenon "Colony Collapse Disorder," but they aren't united on the reason. Theories abound as to the cause of the mass die-off, ranging from the unlikely (cellphones affecting bees' navigational abilities) to the more plausible though still debated (widespread pesticide use).
Recently, researchers identified a virus (Israeli acute paralysis virus) present in CCD-infected bees, though a causal link has not been verified. Estimates vary, but CCD has resulted in losses of 30 per cent of managed honeybee colonies in the U.S., with unexplained losses being reported in Canada over several years.
Much of the recent focus has been on the state of honeybees (of the genus Apis), a non-native species of crucial importance for the pollination of agricultural crops—everything from apples to onions. Colonies of honeybees are trucked across the U.S. and between Canadian provinces to pollinate flowers and ensure fruit and seed set in commercial crops. The economic value of bees' pollination services is estimated at $14 billion annually in the U.S. alone; approximately one-third of the continent's food supply comes from plants that require insect pollinators.
Overshadowed by the press coverage of honeybees, however, is the decline of important pollinators such as native bees in Canada. "We're losing species of wild bees," alerts Peter Kevan, a professor at Ontario's University of Guelph, and an entomology and botany expert. "Two native bumblebee species that used to be the most common bees in Ontario and one species out West all seem to be in massive decline, and may be extinct in some of their habitats already."
Sheila Colla, a doctoral candidate at York University in Toronto, has been studying populations of native bumblebees (Bombus spp.) in Eastern Canada, and her research confirms significant losses. "Several bee species in southern Ontario show evidence of decline over the past 30 years," says Colla. Her findings echo those of a 2006 U.S. report by the National Academy of Sciences called Status of Pollinators in North America, which concluded that "Long-term population trends for several wild bee species (notably bumblebees) and some butterflies, bats and hummingbirds are demonstrably downward." In fact, as far back as 1995, pollinators—there are more than 1,000 species of pollinating insects in Canada including bees, wasps, flies, beetles, moths, butterflies—around the world have been under a great deal of stress, as documented in Stephen Buchmann and Gary Nabhan's book, The Forgotten Pollinators. Many flowering plants depend on insects to transfer pollen grains from male to female flower parts, where the pollen fertilizes the egg, and produces fruit. Colony Collapse Disorder may have put honeybees in the headlines, but it's only the tip of the proverbial iceberg.

I seem to fly endlessly, but have not written one for over a year, so I hope I'm not out of practice Also, apologies if this is longer than your average essay, I like to write a lot The lack of pictures for the first part is due to the ban on handluggage for flights leaving Britain, so pretty much out of my control! Let the trip report begin:
After returning from the A.net 78 degrees North meet very late on the Friday (trip report coming soon) I had quite a frantic Saturday getting things together and cases packed, I was supposed to be helping some friends exhibit a large model railway at an exhibition, but instead had to devote the time to getting ready instead. This holiday had been planned for many weeks, and was supposed to include my grandparents, but they had to pull out to travel elsewhere in the UK. I always enjoy going to Menorca, and after the cold weather in Svalbard, I was rather looking forward to a bit of Mediterranean sun!
Because it was just a few days after the security scare and subsequent hand baggage ban we thought it best to get to the terminal over an hour before the flight left, now this might seem unusual to those of you who are used to the larger airports, but at Plymouth check in doesn't open until an hour before departure. As it was there were very few others there, and we were first in line for check in, getting seats 2A for me, and 2B for my mother. As we still had loads of time to kill we went and had a coffee, and I had a flapjack which was home made and very nice, the coffee also helped me wake up after less than an hours sleep the night before….darn msn, lol! Security was noticeably tighter, but still quick and boarding was called 15 mins before departure as normal. Strolling across the tarmac towards the Dash 8, G-WOWE I felt really strange, everybody we spoke to felt the same, almost naked without the presence of a bag either in hand or on your back. Because of the ban all of my camera gear was very safely packed well inside my case, so no pictures for the outbound trip, but I'll do my best to describe it for you.

My Dinner Date
Coming to my senses I saw a figure slumped opposite me, white-faced. My heart jolted, adrenalin cleared my vision, and comprehension followed gradually… a narrow alleyway, and reflected in a dark shop window… myself. Relief flooded my veins.
I scanned the gloom. Not far away was a bundle of clothes. A pair of white legs, splayed pitilessly. A girl's face, eyes staring. Dark shadows ebbing from a throat torn open. Nausea rose inside me and I vomited. As I wiped away the bile, it was mingled with the blood already on my face and hands. My own blood ran cold.

Mandel coronation a virtual certainty
View Single Post
Addicted to C2E
Join Date: Mar 2006
The race is a solo one with no opponents announced yet
Mandel runs for mayor again
The race is a solo one with no opponents announced yet
Fri, September 7, 2007
By RENATO GANDIA, SUN MEDIA
Although a serious challenger has yet to step forward, Mayor Stephen Mandel kicked off his bid for re-election last night to the cheers and applause of his supporters.
Campaigns are always about reflections and assessment. They are about judging, the mayor told the gathered crowd at his campaign headquarters at 10010 109 St. Campaigns are always a place where support has to be found.
Mandel said he was inspired by the positive reaction to the theme his campaign floated two weeks ago Edmonton Rising.
Im honestly inspired because the people of the city have such strong, consistent interest in securing our success, he said.
But there were critics, too.
I dont know what on earth he was thinking, U of A political scientist Jim Lightbody told Sun Media at the time. Edmonton Rising? From what?
Lightbody called the slogan meaningless, feel-good and without substance.
The mayor said Edmonton has a lot at stake and it needs to rise and build on its successes so that the city is not just another stop on the bitumen highway, referring to the economic boom fuelled by the oilsands.
New billboards with the slogan Your City, My Passion were erected by his campaign team recently. The mayor wouldnt say if that slogan replaces Edmonton Rising.
Its a start, which is about improving the city and the opportunities here, he said, adding people should watch for more campaign tag lines along the way.
Volunteer and sign-request sheets were scattered at tables at Mandels headquarters, which still had rainbow-coloured wall paintings because its the former office of the Pride Centre of Edmonton, a gay and lesbian support group.
Campaign manager David McCalla said they are looking for about 1,000 volunteers, similar to last election, to work in the office, make calls, knock on doors and distribute flyers.
People that care about the future of our city and want to be engaged in our community, are the type of volunteers the team is looking for, McCalla said.
He said its too early to tell whether the incumbent mayor will be on a solo race. Four other potential candidates have expressed interest in challenging Mandel and more nomination forms have been picked up from the city clerks office, he added.
Until Sept. 17, we dont know who else will be running, McCalla said.
And even if the mayor will run unopposed, every vote has to be earned and Edmontonians deserve no less than that, he said.
Whether or not, theres someone running against me, which there will be, its still important that I get the mandate to take forward for the city of Edmonton and I think thats important and vital for the future of the city, Mandel said.

To pivot or not to pivot? That was the question that CEO and co-founder, Gauri Manglik, had to come to terms with.
At TechCrunch Disrupt, Gauri and her co-founders launched SpotOn. This was a mobile recommendation application that used Foursquare data, to see what restaurants and bars your friends were checking into. Pretty cool stuff!
But the SpotOn team quickly realized that people were using the app more as a social network than a recommendation tool. So the SpotOn team quickly raced to build out a new app -- Fondu.
Let's listen in to Gauri explain Fondu and the journey from SpotOn.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Movie giant AMC Theatres says it's reviewing security procedures after a shooting early Friday at a Colorado movie theater that killed 12 people and wounded nearly 60 others.
The Kansas City, Mo.-based company said in a statement provided to The Associated Press on Friday that it is "terribly saddened by the random act of violence in Aurora."
The statement said:
"AMC Theatres is deeply saddened by the Aurora tragedy. Movie going is part of our social fabric and this senseless act shakes us to our core. We're reinforcing our security procedures with our theatre teams, which we cannot discuss in detail for obvious, safety reasons. Local law enforcement agencies, our landlords and their and our local security teams are stepping up ...nationwide to ensure we provide the safest environment possible for our guests. We couldn't be more grateful for their collective support.
"At this time, our show schedules circuit-wide will not change. We will not allow any guests into our theatres in costumes that make other guests feel uncomfortable and we will not permit face-covering masks or fake weapons inside our buildings. If guests wish to exchange or refund any tickets, we will honor our existing policy and do as our guests wish. We are taking necessary precautions to ensure our guests who wish to enjoy a movie this weekend can do so with as much peace of mind as possible in these circumstances."
AMC says it is actively working with local law enforcement in communities across the country to make sure its facilities are safe. It says on its website it has more than 300 movie houses, making it the nation's second-largest theater chain.

Some Email Says iOS 7 Will Be Available On September 10
An email from Nuance, the same company that powers the voice-recognition of Siri, claims Apple will release iOS 7 on September 10, the same day they're widely expected to announce the next iPhone, or iPhones. The email was sent to developers who use Nuance APIs asking them to make sure they test their apps with the latest Apple mobile OS. As often happens in life, there's a bit of confusion regarding acronyms, so it's not entirely clear if this email is rooted in speculation or fact.
Here's what the letter says:
"Dear NDEV Developer, As you are probably aware, iOS 7 GA will be released on September 10." It goes on to mention something about SpeechKit and other developery nonsense.
It's that "GA" that has people guessing. As it stands, iOS 7 is in beta. When an Apple OS nears its launch date, Apple will ship out the GM, or Golden Master, to developers. This is almost always the same software that is available to the public on launch. GA, on the other hand, stands for General Availability and according to AppleInsider, it's often confused with GM.
There is a difference, of course.
Developers still have one last chance to report bugs during the GM phase of software development. Though they're often pretty close to one another, the GM and GA versions are different and released at separate times.
In the past, Apple has released the GM version of the new iOS to developers on the same day they announce a new iPhone. It's usually available for the public consumption (or GA) the following week.
Did Nuance simply confuse the GM and GA in their email and mean to say iOS 7 GM will ship on September 10?
Or, perhaps, do they have inside knowledge on the new OS and have had it leaked to the rest of the world?
The beta process for iOS 7 has been a hurried one, to be sure. According to some reports, what we saw in June was an operating system that had been gutted and completely overhauled in November. In other words, Apple released a beta that had only been in the works for about seven months. They've made great strides since then, (that confusing slide to unlock/Control Center fiasco has finally been taken care of) and if they managed to complete the thing, say, a week early, then good on them.
Doesn't seem likely though, does it? And does Apple have a reason to push out the new OS (presumably) a week early?
Let's also keep in mind that Apple has yet to officially announce an event on September 10. Oh sure, we'll act surprised when journos start receiving press invites to the event, but until that happens no one knows for sure. It's looking entirely possible, however, that your iPhone 4S or 5 will soon act like a completely brand new phone in nearly two weeks. That's what's important here.
Apple is also expected, don't forget, to release a cheap plastic iPhone and an iPhone in gold so, you know, keep your eyes peeled for those.

BASEBALL: INSIDE BASEBALL; Luxury Tax on Clubs: Less Than Meets Eye
By MURRAY CHASS
Published: September 8, 2002
Sometimes a deal is not what it seems to be. For example, when the Yankees signed Dave Winfield to a 10-year contract in 1980, George Steinbrenner did not realize how costly the deal could be to the Yankees until he read it in this newspaper the next day. Steinbrenner, erupting as only he could, insisted on changing one of the terms of the contract to temper the cost to him.
Last week, the owners ratified the new collective bargaining agreement and are not about to stamp their feet to force any changes in it, but depending on how it works out, they might wonder if they have been shortchanged with the agreement's luxury tax.
Commissioner Bud Selig and most of the owners wanted the tax as a way of retarding the escalation of salaries, reducing payroll disparity and restoring competitive balance. But the tax, in the first year at least and maybe beyond, does not appear to be as potentially favorable to the clubs as the tax they had in the previous agreement.
The initial tax rate in the new agreement will be half the rate that was imposed under the old agreement, the first-year threshold in the new agreement could be higher than the threshold would have been under the old agreement and the new tax could hit fewer teams than the old tax.
The clubs' representatives obviously knew what they wanted when they negotiated the new tax, but the outcome raises questions and calls for an explanation.
The tax rate for next year, the first year of the four-year tax plan, will be 17.5 percent. Under the previous agreement, the tax plan lasted for three years, carrying a 35 percent rate each of the first two years and 34 percent the third year. The new plan's tax reaches or surpasses those rates only if a team exceeds the threshold a third and fourth time, at that point reaching 40 percent in each instance.
Clubs will have to wait to see where payrolls go next year, but using this year's payrolls the threshold under the old tax would be $112 million, the average of the fifth- and sixth-highest payrolls. By definition, five teams paid that tax.
If this year's payrolls were used, the old tax, at 35 percent, would have cost those 5 teams a total of $31.36 million. The new tax, with a first-year threshold of $117 million, would hit only 3 teams, costing them a total of $12.53 million.
The Yankees would notice the biggest difference. Combining the old plan and this year's payroll ($171.4 million), the Yankees would pay $20.79 million. But with this year's payroll and the new plan, they would pay less than half of that sum, $9.52 million.
The union would very likely have agreed to the five-team plan, but the clubs did not want a floating threshold and they did not want to limit the number of teams that could be taxed. From the 1997-99 experience, they felt that as long as the highest payrolls raised the threshold, it would be too high.
''The key problem in the past tax was not the initial threshold or the rates but the movement that took place with the threshold,'' said Rob Manfred, the clubs' chief labor lawyer, recalling that it rose about 26 percent and then 19 percent. The threshold this time will rise 3 percent, 6 percent and 6 percent.
Throughout these negotiations, the clubs were far more concerned with the threshold than with the tax rate.
Because of that, the union was able to keep the rate relatively low for the first time a team exceeds the threshold (17.5 percent if it happens in the first year, 22.5 percent in the second and third years) and for the second time a team crosses it (30 percent). The tax does not rise above the old agreement's rates until it goes to 40 percent if a club spends beyond the threshold a third time or a fourth time.
With a fixed rather than a floating threshold, the clubs feel they have protection as the agreement moves forward. If enough payrolls rise above the threshold, whether it is $120.5 million in the second year, $128 million in the third or $136.5 million in the fourth, the tax could hit more than five teams.
On the other hand, if payrolls do not rise above the threshold, the clubs will have succeeded in reducing the gaps between payrolls.
''It's not a matter of how much money is collected,'' Manfred said. ''We're not looking to collect money. We're looking to reduce payroll disparity, and we're hopeful this one will do a better job than the last one.''
The union, meanwhile, is betting that the tax rates are low enough that the wealthier clubs will not be deterred from exceeding the threshold -- perhaps not by as much as the Yankees, but exceed it nevertheless.
The union is also pleased with two other facets of the tax plan. For one, it disappears after 2006. To get a luxury tax in the next agreement, the clubs will have to negotiate for it again. And if the two sides do not have a new agreement for 2007, no tax would be in effect for that season.
Then there is the provision dealing with 2006. The tax that year applies only to teams that cross the threshold in 2005. If a club does not pay the tax in 2005, it pays none in 2006, no matter how high its payroll. That provision would allow a team that has remained under the threshold to load up and make a run at the playoffs.
The clubs agreed to those provisions in return for the union's willingness to have the tax exist in the last year of the agreement. The union had initially wanted a tax-free 2006.

Speaking before Likud faction, opposition leader says he fears prime minister may choose his personal survival over national interest. 'The Right and the Left agree today that the diplomatic process cannot serve as a refuge for politicians in distress,' he notes
Amnon Meranda
Published: 05.22.08, 17:39 / Israel News
Amnon Meranda
The opposition leader went on to say that "Mr. Olmert,
who is up to his neck in investigations, has no mandate to hold critical negotiations on the State's future, as there is a real fear that he would favor his personal survival over the national interest. Ceding the Golan Heights will turn the Golan Heights into an advanced Iranian post."
"If the Syrian foreign minister's remarks
that Israel
agreed to withdraw from the Golan Heights are true, this is an unprecedented diplomatic and security irresponsibility. This joins the failure of the Second Lebanon War
and the failure to prevent the Qassam fire
in southern Israel."
Likud faction meeting (Photo: Amit Magal)
Netanyahu repeated his call for early elections. "I urge all the parties, from the Left and from the Right, to return the mandate to the voter and set a date for new elections. Whoever is elected will receive a clear, renewed and clean mandate to run the State's affairs in the face of the challenges of security, economy, education and peace."
Other Likud Knesset members took advantage of the faction meeting in order to slam the prime minister.
"A man who is about to be indicted, who takes envelopes and accepts cash, who send them from here to there, who falls asleep at meetings, spending his days and nights with his lawyers, cannot run the State even if he wanted to and even if he was capable and competent. He was incapable and incompetent from the start," said MK Limor Livnat.
MK Reuven Rivlin noted that "the prime minister has no boundaries, and this is manifested in an issue which is one of Israel's most important national interests. Both the Right and the Left could not believe their ears when the prime minister made his announcement.
"Even if it turns out later that the negotiations were launched a year ago, no one will believe Olmert that this is true, because I can't believe he believes himself."
Speaking on Wednesday, Olmert noted
that previous Israeli prime ministers, including Netanyahu, gave Syria a promise to return the Golan Heights.

SUBJECT: Terms of Reference -- lSAB Study on Security Capacity Building
The International Security Advisory Board (lSAB) is requested to undertake a study of U.S. efforts to build the security capacity of our foreign partners.
The United States annually spends billions of dollars on efforts to improve the security capacity of nations around the globe. Such security capacity building is a prime mission of the United States. It involves a range of programs and activities, including military education and training, military equipping and financing, and capacity building in the security and justice sector (i.e., training, education, and/or equipping for court and detention officials and police and border forces). The current U.S. approach to security capacity building would benefit from a fundamental review of the goals of this effort and its effectiveness. The importance of such security capacity building is not the question; the issues are whether the United States' approach is appropriately scoped and effective, achieves a clear set of appropriate goals, and represents the best use of U.S. resources. The lSAB review of U.S. security capacity building may identify different national goals, revise current key assumptions underpinning U.S. policy, and could help the United States evaluate and better target assistance. The need is for a strategic level analysis across U.S. security capacity building efforts, not a study focused on program-level evaluations of specific existing programs.
It would be of great assistance if the ISAB review of security capacity building could examine and assess:
During its conduct of the study, the ISAB may take on additional tasks within this delineated focus, as it deems necessary. I request that you complete the study in 180 days. Completed work should be submitted to the ISAB Executive Directorate no later than January 17, 2012.
The Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security will sponsor the study. The Assistant Secretary of State for Political-Military Affairs will support the study. Tom Cooney will serve as the Executive Secretary for the study and Chris Herrick will represent the ISAB Executive Directorate.
The study will be conducted in accordance with the provisions of P.L. 92-463, the "Federal Advisory Board Committee Act." If the ISAB establishes a working group to assist in its study, the working group must present its report or findings to the full ISAB for consideration in a formal meeting, prior to presenting the report or findings to the Department.

Bent lends support for inspiring Acorns spring appeal
Bent made an immediate impact on the field with a goal against Manchester City on his debut but he showed his caring side off the field too.
The day after his record-breaking move to Villa, he elected to visit the charity partner's hospice in Selly Oak instead of putting his feet up following the high-profile transfer.
The plight of the children and the work done by carers really hit home to the 26-year-old and he was only too happy to support the charity's latest fundraising effort.
He said: "I've visited Acorns with the rest of the Villa team and we've seen for ourselves the amazing work the charity does to support children with life-limiting conditions and their families.
"Acorns wasn't what I expected - the place was bright and happy and full of smiles and laughter.
"The children are well cared for by professionals and given lots of opportunities to experience new things and make the most of the time they spend there."
One particular girl - Juwi - really made a big impact with Darren, as he checked out the fine work done by the charity.
Juwi was born with hydrocephalus. Often referred to as 'water on the brain', a build up of fluid creates increased pressure inside the skull, which impairs brain development and results in severe disabilities.
As a result of her condition, Juwi has very limited mobility so is confined to a wheelchair and is fed through a tube in her stomach.
She is also epileptic, visually impaired and has profound multiple learning disabilities. Her extremely complex condition means she needs constant care and can never be left alone.
Acorns has been providing support to Juwi and her family for the last three years.
Darren continued: "I was lucky enough to meet Juwi and the rest of her family and chat with them.
"I heard first-hand about just how important Acorns is to them in caring not just for Juwi but also in looking after the whole family."
Acorns provides care and support for children and young people who have life-limiting or life-threatening conditions - and their families.
The hospices provides short break, emergency and end-of-life care with a community team to support the family, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
With three 10-bed hospices in operation Acorns has helped over 1,500 families in the last 21 years. It currently costs £750 per day to care for a child - that adds up to over £8m-per-year to support the children and their families.
Thanks to the close relationship with Villa, Acorns families like Juwi's have been able to benefit from some amazing experiences and create some lasting special memories.

Katie Holmes' Christmas cardKatie Holmes has designed her family's Christmas card.
The former 'Dawson's Creek' star designed the burgundy, cream and brown festive card which will be sent out on behalf of her and husband Tom Cruise, their daughter Suri and Tom's two adopted children Bella and Connor with ex-wife Nicole Kidman.
The card bears the message, "Happy holidays and best wishes for a joyous new year. Love Tom, Kate, Bella, Connor and Suri" in a brown sweeping font.
The card is cream with a brown and burgundy ribbon trim.
This will be 20-month-old Suri's second Christmas, and Katie and Tom - who are both Scientologists - are said to be determined to make it as special as her first.
A source close to the family told Us Weekly magazine: "Katie has kept her staff busy doing the shopping. She's already bought so much for Suri, but keeps saying she has even more to buy!
"She is determined to make Christmas a classy affair, and even has a different gift-wrap design for her family, friends and business associates."

While visiting relatives in MS last week, I rented a bike. Had several nice rides with perfect weather all week. I rode the Longleaf Trace from Prentiss to Hattiesburg one day. 43 miles on a rails to trails path. Virtually no other people for the entire distance mid-week. It's a very nice resource for the state. http://www.mylongleaftrace.com/
I also got in nice rides with some locals in Greenwood, and a solo ride north of Greenwood in some rolling hills.
The bike I rented was a well maintained, late '80's vintage Centurion Prestige. I picked it up at The Bicycle Rack in Flowood, near the Jackson Airport - great guys and a nice store. The bike was fine for the riding I was doing (mostly flat), but I didn't like the downtube shifters. Never have. I missed my bike, but was glad to get in the miles to work off all the food that I ate.

Kanye West is hyped. With only a few moments before show time, the Louis Vuitton Don shared his excitement about hitting hit the Video Music Awards stage via Twitter. Rumors swirl that 'Ye will apologize to Taylor Swift tonight (again) for interrupting the country singer's award acceptance speech during 2009's VMA's.
"#VMAs tonight!" Kanye wrote in anticipation on Sunday morning. "I still feel the adrenaline… WWMJD!"
Kanye's VMA presence last year will definitely go down in history as well as Twitter talk. Remember the #kanyeshrug?
"It's funny. I can't believe it's been a whole year," West wrote of his return. "But can't believe all that's happened within this year at the same time. Each piece of the performance tonight is slowing falling into place… I get so excited to do new things… new energy. I can feel the positive energy."
A few fans shared Yeezy's enthusiasm.
@LaAlchemista wrote: "Excited to see what @Kanyewest is gonna do at the VMAs tonight."
@Skiinnyslim stated: "Patiently waiting until the VMAs got a feeling @Kanyewest performance WILL be #epic."
In a heart-felt tweet, a somber 'Ye rejoiced despite the fact that his number one fan wouldn't be able to attend tonight.
"I wish my mom was here," Kanye wrote. "But I know she's looking down. I want to make her so happy today."
"God bless you @@Kanyewest and your mom your a strong man for being able to continue with peace and positive. Respect," tweeted one fan @LilBtheBaseGod.
Although, Kanye's outburst from last year's VMAs still haunts him, tonight Yeezy will be at peace walking back onto the stage for the world to see.
"GOD is working," he tweeted. "I feel so blessed on this day."
What do you anticipate will happen during Kanye's performance tonight the 2010 VMAs? Let us know in the comments.

Two AMC pilots have nabbed new cast members, it was reported on Tuesday. Lennie James (The Walking Dead, Human Target) has been cast in the cop drama Low Winter Sun, while Joe Anderson (Across the Universe) has nabbed a spot in an as-yet untitled legal thriller.
Low Winter Sun, in addition to having one of the coolest TV show titles ever, is a pretty promising new Detroit-set drama series revolving around the murder of a policeman by Detective Frank Agnew (Mark Strong, 'Sherlock Holmes,' 'Kick-Ass'). Agnew finds himself drawn into the Detroit underworld as his crime becomes a catalyst for life-altering events. James will play Joe, a cop with ambiguous morals.
James previously appeared in the first episode of The Walking Dead as Morgan, a character who has been referenced several times since his first appearance and is likely to return sometime in the show's future. James' continued involvement with AMC certainly keeps him available to film a few episodes of the network's hit zombie series, should showrunner Glen Mazzara ever come calling. James' other credits include a recurring roles on FOX's Human Target and HBO's Hung.
Meanwhile, actor Joe Anderson (the memorable Max from the musical film Across the Universe) has been cast in another AMC pilot. This one's a legal thriller about a District Attorney who finds new evidence and re-opens a sensational murder case from years past. Kind of like The Killing meets Cold Case meets Law & Order, I guess. According to Deadline, Anderson will play "Terry Kaminski, a man of Polish descent convicted of a crime." If he was the person wrongfully imprisoned because of this case, this could be a solid role for Anderson, whose other credits include ABC's The River and the 2007 Anne Hathaway film Becoming Jane.
With both shows, AMC is looking for high-rating hits to replace soon-to-be-departing critical heavyweight Breaking Bad and Mad Men, which are eyeing 2013 and 2014 exits, respectively. With Hell on Wheels middling in the ratings and The Killing freshly cancelled, AMC is looking to beef up its original programming so that the high-rated Walking Dead isn't the network's only series come 2015.
We'll let you know if either new show is ordered to series by the network.
A remake of the excellent, but very dark, 2006, Edinburgh set, "Low Winter Sun."
Be interesting to see how it translates.
Dave (in Edinburgh)

We were in fins and snorkel masks, navigating the thicket of wooden posts that lift the Sipadan-Kapalai Dive Resort above the limpid waters of the Sulu Sea off Sabah, Malaysia. Around us were enough tropical fish to make not a school, but a university and all its departments: a score of yellow-and-black-striped tigerfish, stock-still under the stairs; a massive grouper, presiding over an artificial reef; banner fish, angelfish, starfish, parrotfish, needlefish, you name it, lounging amid corals and darting between rocks.
Then came an underwater yelp, loud enough to make waves, from 16-year-old Jack.
"Something bit me!" he said after surfacing, pointing to an inchlong welt on his leg that was in the shape of a mouth.
And so something had: a dull brown triggerfish, maybe 18 inches long, which apparently mistook him for the vanguard of a home invasion.

"They can get aggressive around mating time," our scuba instructor, Alex, said later.
Imagine that: a tropical resort where the fish bite, and the mosquitoes don't.
Actually, there are no mosquitoes at Kapalai to speak of — and no palm trees, except in pots; no beach, unless you count a slender sandbar that peeks above the waves at low tide; no rental cars, no shopping street, no bars. There is only a web of spacious chalets linked by boardwalks and an ocean stretching to the edge of the sky .
That, and those amazing fish.
Kapalai is an artificial island, a diver's nirvana atop wooden stilts sunk into a shallow reef, 40 minutes by speedboat from Malaysia's easternmost coast. Water is not just the compelling attraction; it's the only one. If you are so inclined (and you will be), world-class snorkeling is as easy as duckwalking in your flippers out a chalet door and down the stairs, straight into the sea.
But snorkeling is just the appetizer in an underwater banquet. Kapalai is also the closest habitable spot to Sipadan Island, a tree-shrouded speck that is among the top scuba-diving destinations on Earth. Twenty more minutes by boat transports you to a wonderland teeming with barracuda, sea turtles, sharks, pumpkin-size clams and enough psychedelic fish — 3,000 species, by experts' reckoning — to dazzle the most jaded ichthyologist.
The World Wildlife Federation has called it one of the most diverse spots on the planet. In 1989, Jacques Cousteau labeled it "an untouched piece of art."
Kapalai's 59 chalets are roomy cathedrals with infinite ocean views from the decks, a cooling wind and nothing but the sound of lapping water and the sway of creaking timbers to lull you to sleep. No restaurant scene here: The food, a fish-heavy mix of Malaysian cuisine and Western favorites like spaghetti for the younger set, is cooked on-site and served at a sprawling buffet. Nor are there televisions, in-room telephones or room service, although Wi-Fi can be had in the combination dining room and lobby. Diversions are limited to a tiny gift shop, a rudimentary bar, a Ping-Pong table and a stack of books on local sea life.
To our surprise, Kapalai was not just for hard-core divers. There were Chinese families with children in water wings, Aussie couples seeking a romantic interlude and other scuba novices like ourselves. And after a few days of lessons, it became clear that scuba diving imposes its own soothing rhythm.
So we fell into what became an enchanting regimen: dive, lunch; dive, relax; snorkel, dinner. Then a spirited bout of the board game Settlers of Catan on the veranda, followed by a stroll to the sunbathers' deck to watch poisonous lionfish and curious sea turtles gather below, lured by spotlights. And then to bed.
Scuba diving proved an almost ideal mix of exercise, adventure and variety for all the family, including teenagers. We left Sipadan — diving's holy grail — until the end, for good reason: While the island has some dive sites suitable for beginners, unpredictable currents can race through others. Novices can be pulled away from their guides or even yanked downward to potentially dangerous levels by rivers they can feel but cannot see.
Kapalai requires beginners to obtain PADI open-water certification (would-be divers must be at least 15 years old), and as is the rule in the Sipadan area, everyone must notch a series of successful dives before making a visit. Although we learned to dive during our trip, it's best to arrive certified and ready to explore places like Sipadan where dives are more demanding.
Finally, one dawn found us on a speedboat headed for Sipadan.
Geography and geology make this tiny egg-shaped island, just 220 by 550 yards, a diver's paradise. Sipadan is the tip of an extinct underwater volcano just off the continental shelf that rises from the ocean bottom some 2,000 feet below. A reef traces a ring around the island. Nearby, a trench provides a haven for deep-sea fish that follow cool currents upward in search of food. The combination makes an unparalleled scuba experience: on one side, a near-vertical wall teems with morays, clams, turtles and endless varieties of fish. On the other, reef sharks, jack, eagle rays, manta rays and even whale sharks cruise in crystalline waters. Near the surface, the vast fringing reef is home to fabulous corals and brilliant fish.
Sipadan's stellar reputation almost proved its undoing. By the 1990s, five resorts pocked the island, and clumsy divers and sewage runoff threatened to wreak havoc on the corals and marine life. But in 2000, the island won an improbable reprieve: A band of Abu Sayyaf guerrillas, Islamic separatists from the southern Philippines, raided the camps and kidnapped 21 people, including 10 tourists. The group was freed months later after Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi paid a $25 million ransom. But nervous divers gave Sipadan a wide berth and a respite from damage for some time afterward.
Four years later, Malaysian authorities, awakened to the tourism value of an untouched Sipadan, ordered the resort operators and their camps off the island. Today fishing is banned within one kilometer of the shore, and diving is limited to 120 visitors a day — a vast improvement in protection, although too meager for environmentalists who fear the island can't sustain even that procession of tourists.

We enjoyed this unique park that slopes gently down from the road to the lake front. Please consult the park's website for pictures of the RV spaces that will help you better understand my description of the park. We stayed in the best back-in site on the property. Our entire door side was separated from the water's edge by only a lush section of lawn for sitting and enjoying the sunset. Another, separate grass lakefront common area is available for the other RV spaces that don't sit right on the water. The check-in building also has a covered porch and nice chairs for relaxing and enjoying the lake views. The owners have added a few pull-through sites directly across the quiet street from the lakefront site area where we stayed. You won't feel the water in these sites, but will have only a short distance to walk to set yourself up on the lakefront to read or relax. We are traveling with our two kids, ages 11 and 14. The park is family friendly. We used a great teatherball court numerous times and we also jumped in the lake for a swim every time we got hot. The water was a comfortable temperature in late September, at least for us. If you have a boat in tow, the project has a nice dock system and a boat launch ramp. The owners are good people and are present and active on a day to day basis. They have owned the property for 16 years and were happy to show us around and share with us the history of the property and the area. We recommend the park for those that enjoy a smaller, mom and pop owned park in a very nice setting. - my12by60

Just like the first review said! We were in #8. Thirty feet from the water under the shade of a few tall stately pines. Also has six room motel so non RVer friends can stay. Nice pier system and boat ramps so you can fish from the pier or go boating. Made for a very pleasant stay. We'll be going back! - Texrv

MapleStory 2 is on the Way - NewsVGChartz Staff, posted on 16 December 2013 / 1,748 Views
According to a new trailer, a sequel to the adorable MapleStory is in development - and it seems like it'll be in three glorious dimensions.
According to Destructoid, the graphical overhaul isn't all that's new; a new "gameplay system" is set to be introduced. Precisely what that means is unclear, so we'll probably have to wait until the game's beta in early 2014 to find out.
The visuals in this trailer probably aren't a representation of what the actual game will look like but the animation is very impressive, with crisp and consistently cute visuals throughout. Hopefully the finished product won't be too far off this.

Positive Attitudes Drive Burgandy and Sophia Following Double Biggest Loser Elimination
You'd think earning the chance of a lifetime to be on Biggest Loser and then being forced to leave because of a "red line" elimination just four weeks in would knock the wind out of your sails. But not for Sophia Franklin, the first of two eliminations in week four's episode. Not only was she OK with leaving, she was ready to go, positive she could do the work at home. Of the mere two pounds she lost that sent her packing? "None of my weight loss was disappointing. I was ecstatic for every pound I lost," she says.
Her upbeat and positive attitude was shared by Burgandy Keel, who fell below the yellow line and then lost the vote after a carpet-rolling challenge. Similarly happy despite being forced out of the ranch, Burgandy says she was constantly inspired by her fellow contestants, who could sometimes be seen on treadmills at midnight.
The recent Biggest Loser castaways talked to us following their eliminations. Burgandy shares the unique experience of a vegan dinner at Bob Harper's home, a first for the show's contestants. And Sophia tells us all about her "very clean, very lean, extremely green" diet at home. Listen now to hear the interviews!
