Nov. 2 is election day. Why is this day so important? We, the people of the United States, have no say no matter who gets elected. Once elected, officials let the promises they made go out the window.
The concern of the American people has no meaning. Our interest is not even considered. We need education for our children, not closed schools.
We need jobs, not restored buildings. Why restore history when our children are losing their right to be taught history.
We've been promised jobs by every official on a ballot, yet we still have high unemployment.

How to Define Transaction Timeout for BPEL on Weblogic ?
Consider following scenario : you want to force a BPEL to wait for maximum of 3 (180 seconds) minutes to get reply from a Partner Link. You can set the following timeouts :
a) syncMaxWaitTime to 180;
c) Global JTA Timeout to 300
As a general rule, you should have following relation between the timeout parameters:
syncMaxWaitTime < BPEL MBean transaction timeout < Global Transaction Timeout
1. Setting the global transaction timeout on Weblogic domain level :
- Login to Weblogic console (http://host:port/console);
- Select Services > JTA from the left pane;
- Select JTA tab in the right pane;
- Change the parameter:
Timeout Seconds (specifies the time in which a transaction will timeout, if uncommitted);
2. Setting the transaction timeout for BPEL application in the deployment descriptor :
- Go to BEA_HOME\user_projects\apps\soaApps\BPELPM;
- Make a backup of ejb_ob_engine.jar (if anything goes wrong just put back the original ejb_ob_engine.jar);
- Open the ejb_ob_engine.jar (for example in WinZip) and edit weblogic-ejb-jar.xml ;
- Change the
for the following MBeans : CubeEngineBean, CubeDeliveryBean and MessageBean;
Save weblogic-ejb-jar.xml and repack the JAR (this is done automatically in WinZip);
- Go to Weblogic Console -> Deployments and Lock&Edit;
- Select BPELPM and Update it -> this will force a redeployment of the JARs;
- Click Activate Changes (at this steps there might be some errors in Weblogic Console
but afternext there will be no problems);
- Stop the SOA server and start it again;
- After SOA server is started go to Deployments section and check if BPELPM is "Active". If not just start it from here by selecting and and cliking on "Start -> Servicing all requests".
- This property sets the maximum time the process result receiver waits for a result before returning;
- Can be changed via BPEL Console -> Manage BPEL Domain (10.1.3.3) / Configuration (10.1.3.4);
- Scroll down to find syncMaxWaitTime parameter. Change the parameter setting and click 'Apply' in lower right corner of the screen;

How to Use
the Context
Inquiry Question
The growth of large industrial cities in the North, with their demand for cheap labor, opened up opportunities over the years. By the early 20th century, the migration of African Americans from the rural South to the urban North had become a regular flow. The peak period of this movement, known as the Great Migration, occurred during World War I when increasing demands placed on Northern industry coincided with the halt of immigration from Europe, a primary source for new workers, due to wartime conditions.
The creation of Chicago's Black Metropolis, also known as Douglas and Bronzeville, was part of this story. It was largely created by the Great Migration, sustained by a continuing influx of newcomers over the years, and put through times of trial during the Great Depression and the urban renewals of the 1950s and 1960s.

Editors' Notes
I'm writing this after returning from SES London, where the turnout of attendees was amazing. The conference sessions were overflowing at times and quality of information from the UK and European based speakers is top notch. Once again, I left London impacted by the significant verticalization in the UK market – the travel sector is incredibily competitive and issues surrounding affiliates and spam continue to plague travel service providers. The financial marketplace remains vibrant, despite its own challenges with legal restrictions. But in general, based on the number of headlines I've included below in the vertical & specialty section, I should no longer be surprised at the growth within these areas.
Two personalities that came up frequently in conversation were Jason Calcanis and Dave Pasternack, for their recent commentary on the SEO industry. At this point however, the saga seems to be over, as many luminaries in the search industry have simply dismissed their respective opinions as simple pleas for attention or links.
I sat in on the Search Advertising Forum, to find out what's new in UK Paid Search. Perhaps luckily for the UK crowd, Yahoo's Panama platform has yet to launch there, although it is expected during Q2. Meanwhile, the UK crowd gets a discount in bid minimums, down from 10p to 5p. For U.S. users, there are mixed reviews being reported in the SEW Forums, while there are still some bugs being worked out, several users agree that the ranking system overall is better. Meanwhile, Microsoft adCenter celebrated its six-month anniversary in the UK. Community manager Mel Carson shared some interesting insights, and shared a few things on the horizon for adCenter: an accreditation for SEM professionals within 6-12 months, and the planned integration of DeepMetrix Analtyics (code name: Project Gatineau) is underway.
Stay tuned over the next few days for some special reports from the show. We start off with Andrew Goodman's highlights from the Keynote Conversation with Matt Cutts.
We've also welcomed two additional bloggers to our staff: Eric Enge of Stone Temple Consulting, and Grant Crowell of Grantastic Designs.
Be sure to join us for our next major US event, SES New York.

The Current State of Social Networks #infographic
From ignite, a social media agency, comes The Current State of Social Networks.
It goes without saying that Facebook is the network du jour, but even though the reigning champion's user stats keep soaring, social networking as a whole might be leveling off. Nevertheless, there are still scores of other highly competitive social sites that are waxing and waning; and different networks and apps are more popular in specific geographic areas, with certain genders or age groups, and even among various social classes.
For example, Plaxo is the network with the most users over the age of 65. Facebook is more popular with women, but Digg and Reddit tend to be more popular with men. LinkedIn is the "richest" social network, but Plurk outranks it when it comes to well-educated users who have graduate degrees.
They have a ton of traffic data to work with, and this infographic does a good job of summarizing some of the key findings at the top level.

and no pawns will be accepted other then issei he is the only pawn for her.
Impassive Harlequin@I think either Tiamat or a chibi draig shoud become his familiar(Tiamat was already forshadowed for this anyway)
and to me ophis is to humanoid to become a familiar and since shes basically guarenteed to lose A LOT of power resurrecting issei she could be his queen
the oter option is her dying since she could take out gods at full power she woulden't be able to be part of his harem which i'm sure no none whants her to die.(she'd be to strong to be an ally if she doesen't lose her power)

I've been looking st the comments about everyone becoming high rank devils and getting peerage.
But I feel like if the girls do so and they happen to get their own team maybe Asia, Akeno will have guys in their team and possibly be taken by their own servants as Ise did with Rias.....Gets me kinda depressed thinking like...

There is no mention about the reusability of Evil Pieces at this point. One would think their power is consumed by the process of resurrection. The full implications of the 8 Pawn pieces returning should be explained in Volume 12.

Asia will join issei along with ravel, zenovia, and potentially koneko
The Girls love issei something like "that" WILL NEVER HAPPEN!
okay*calms down* anyway something like this is impossible so don't think like that okay
zzhk@ I really dobt ophis can become a familiar because it seems to fit more for animals and/or beasts and even though i whant Tiamat to turn into a beautiful women it's never been confirmed if she can
and what game balance?
From what i've seen theres no balance of power i mean Sairanburg...
1. has a SG as a pawn
2.Can completely bust through barriers with a single punch
3. can probably take out a mountain with a singe punch(i can really see him do this)
To me A seriously weakened ophis would only even things out
and sorry if this sounded argumentative but this is merely my opinion on the subject

I'm pretty sure they can join both right?
It's like the same thing as being a pawn and a king so why can't ot occur this way?
You mean no pawns other than Ise as in Rias wouldn't want any other or it isn't possible?
I mean technically speaking it is possible, since it wouldn't make sense that if a piece holder dies that it would leave that piece spot forever empty.

I was actually going to ask that question next.... lol you must be psychic
Plus the girls can't even take having Ise leave for a mere 3 days(during the field trip) so they're staying with him till death
It is should be impossible for Rias to get another pawn since she used up all 8pawns on Ise (though as of volume 11, the pawns have returned to Rias)... and i'm sure most of the people here would dislike having another pawn join (unless its a cute girl)
As mentioned by zz earlier, they were talking about piece exchanges, so if for example, Ise gets his evil pieces, he would trade his bishop piece to Rias for Asia... so technically, Asia would be leaving Rias group
The pawn and king thing is about how servants are able to gain their own peerage(getting their own set of evil pieces) while still serving as a piece for their master in rating games

But the possibility is always haunting me there,
I mean a time will come when that happens and they will have tog et their own pieces and I'm pretty sure not all the girls will have all girl groups....
And you talk about Asia, Ravel, Zenovia, and Koneko but where is Akeno?
Well anyway I don't see how this pertains to the discussion at hand because even though they may join Ise's group it doesn't mean they won't have their own group.
I'm not saying all this depressing stuff because I want it to happen but because I want to stay the possibilities and try to eliminate all the and ones with you guys.

That means Rias will have 2 free pieces in exchange for asia and zenovia.
That also means they wont be able to fight for Rias in a Raiting game, because they no longer belong to Rias.
And Ise can not use them either unless he has ownership.
So him not using the pieces and Asia + Zenovia being owned by 2 kings is out of the question.
Ravel will probably go with ise also, seeing how she has a more active role as manager, and her mother did say she was free for ise to take once he got king.
So in short, ise is already out of bishops. This is why kuroka will never be part of ise's group. You would need to give up 2 bishops for kuroka, and he has no bishops.
But then again kuroka has no master for ise to trade bishops to, so if the guys want to dream, ise could probably sacrifice 6 pawns for kuroka... basically take her and give up 6 pieces back to beelz, but i highly doubt that.

aigomorla@nothing is impossible for issei if he whants a girl he gets a girl
and as i've stated before no one knows how the EP work so for all we know Kuroka's former masters pieces may not have any hold on her anymore and could be overwritten by isseis(since beelz is a gamer it's like overwriting save data)
plus since the power of a piece is dependent on their master Kuroka could be worth less pertaining to issei (and she could be a rook for the reason i stated above)

I should emphasize again that just because Ise can begin his own group if he promotes, doesn't mean he will start a new group immediately.
Since Rias has her sights on Emperor Belial in the Rating Game, I don't think Ise is going to start his own group (and partially absorb Rias' group in the process) until he completes Rias' dreams of succeeding in the Rating Game. Then Rias can sit back and relax and raise kids while Ise sets off on his harem king dream of creating a harem that won't lose to anyone in the Rating Game. Though this seems such a long journey it sounds like it is going a bit beyond "High School" DxD.

Akeno also wont ditch Rias like that in reality.
The queen is the most faithful out of all.
I have a heavy feeling its going to be either Opfus, or Ravel will get a upgrade to Queen.
Seeing how she is Ise's Offical Manager, and she was compared to Grafia at times in how she needs to handle business.

And isen't Rias still young to officially join the Rating game?(or am i mistaken)
if so then this gives him plenty of time to find pieces before even needing to help her.

The problem is once Ise starts accepting servants, Rias' group isn't going to stand idle. They will start fighting for his pieces instead.
It seems to have been retconned, but originally Ise thought Rias would start official Rating Games one year later when she graduates high school. Later on, he thinks she will start after finishing university.
Anyway, if Rias is too young, then wouldn't Ise be even younger?
So who knows what the author actually plans to do.

I mean the second he gets his pieces they'll start fighting so it's Isseis job to rectify this(and while there fighting ophis will walk in grab the queen and when the girls try to get it back ophis will act all cute and they'll feel bad for trying to take it from her )

Ravel And Asia are whistling while jacking the bishops each.
Zenovia come and takes a Knight.
While the other girls notice what they are doing, a fight breaks out amungst them for the remaining pieces.
Then you got Rias in the background with a nasty evil aura going WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!?!?!?!

At the absolute minimum, you would need 5 years or so before Rias could reach the top of the Rating Game, I suppose.
There is the possibility that Rias could get some new servants with good capability but that's pretty low unless the guys from Hero Faction miraculously become her servants...
Speaking of that, what do you think will happen to Vali? I always imagined he'd join the devil's side.

The Story Behind That Fiona Apple Chipotle Ad
Although it's set in a "dystopian fantasy world," Chipotle Mexican Grill's animated ad aim to address the real world subject of food production.
Created by Academy Award-winning Moonbot Studios, the animated film entitled "The Scarecrow" features a straw hat wearing scarecrow rebelling against his job in big agriculture to start his own farm stand.
"We're looking to educate people about food," said Chris Arnold, a spokesperson for Chipotle. "We're dealing with very difficult issues, but we want to present them through the context of entertainment."
Add Grammy-winning artist Fiona Apple covering "Pure Imagination" (from the 1971 movie "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory") and the video quickly went viral. Ms. Apple's rendition of "Pure Imagination" is available for download on iTunes.
The 3:23-minute ad, released last week, has been viewed 5.5 million times. The supplemental iOS game promoting sustainable farming, also created by Moonbot, has been downloaded 300,000 times as of noon Wednesday.
While the film has won some critical acclaim, it also has been met with some resistance in the agriculture community.
"I would be hard pressed to call it an education film," said Charlie Arnot, CEO Center for Food Integrity, a non-profit that works with farmers and restaurants to educate consumers on the American food system. "Some of it is a bit of been there done that," he added. Chipotle's 2011 commercial, "Back to the Start" featured Willie Nelson's rendition of "The Scientist."
"The Scarecrow" was the brainchild of Brandon Oldenburg and Limbert Fabian, the short's co-directors. The duo rang up Speakeasy to discuss the two-year project, big agriculture, and their love for "Willy Wonka" star Gene Wilder.

How does having colitis affect colon cancer screening?
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
How does having colitis affect colon cancer screening?
David Metz, MD, Professor of Gastroenterology at Penn Medicine , responds:
People with long-standing colitis (especially ulcerative colitis but also Crohn's disease if it affects the colon) are at higher risk for colorectal cancer that develops after about 10 yrs. We generally recommend that people with inflammatory bowel disease of more than 10 yrs duration undergo screening at yearly intervals with surveillance biopsies to look for dysplasia which is a marker of the risk for cancer developing in the future. If dysplasia is identified, consideration should be given to a prophylactic colectomy (i.e., colon removal BEFORE cancer develops) because the future risk is significant.
This question and answer was part of the OncoLink Brown Bag Chat Series. View entire transcript from Advances in Colorectal Cancer Screening.

Dhoni skips media conference amid IPL controversySports February 13, 2014 No Comments on Dhoni skips media conference amid IPL controversy 6
Wellington, Feb 13 (IANS) India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni Thursday surprisingly skipped the customary captain's press conference on the eve of the second Test against New Zealand here, possibly to avoid taking questions on the Justice (retd) Mukul Mudgal-committee report, wherein his name figures.
While Black Caps captain Brendon McCullum turned up for the press conference, opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan came to address the media in Dhoni's absence. Even Dhawan was not allowed to take questions on the spot fixing and the betting scandal in the 2013 Indian Premier League (IPL) and media manager R.N. Baba concluded the conference shortly afterwards.
Mudgal, who was appointed by India's apex court to probe the IPL spot fixing scandal, has submitted a statement from a Tamil Nadu police officer who has has named Dhoni in the scandal.
In the statement, Superintendent of Police G. Sampath Kumar said a bookie named Kitty had claimed that Dhoni, who leads Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and his team principal Gurunath Meiyappan, the son-in-law of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president N. Srinivasan, were involved in betting in IPL matches.
During the press conference, even before Dhawan could take his seat, Baba said: "No questions on IPL-related matters."
Baba had also conducted the infamous press conference in Mumbai last year before the team's departure for the Champions Trophy when Dhoni was bombarded with questions about the spot fixing scandal.
In response to a few questions that Dhawan, who scored a century in the first Test, said the team has taken lot of positives from the last Test which they lost by 40 runs.
"The last Test match, we fought back really nicely and that second innings we batted really nicely. There are lots of positives to take from the last Test match, so it is helping build our confidence. We have got very good fast bowlers. Hopefully they can repeat that (performance) and get them out for a low score. We are confident and looking forward to the match," he said.

INDIA: The Union Budget of India for 2010-2011 provides significant incentives towards clean energy and better infrastructure. While announcing the budget, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee acknowledged the significance of clean energy generation, and emphasised that renewables were 'a credible strategy (for India) for combating global warming and climate change'.
The Budget this year is a clear indication of the operationalization of the National Action Plan on Climate Change, and Mr Raghuraman, Former Senior Advisor CII has stated, "conveys the government's serious intent to walk the talk on climate change".
For the first time in India, 46% of the total budget outlay has been dedicated to infrastructure development. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has seen an outlay increase of 61% from last year (amounting to Rs10 billion), and the Budget allocation for the Power ministry has been doubled (Rs51.3 billion).
Key budget highlights:
For the first time, a tax has been levied on all new Indian and imported coal in the form of a "Clean Energy Cess", at the rate of Rs50 per tonne of coal. As an extension of India's 'polluter pays' principle, adopted in its international stand on climate change, this money will be allocated to a corpus for the newly established 'Clean Energy Fund' dedicated to R&D and innovations in low-carbon technologies. The projected coal production for 2010-11 (610 million tonnes, India stat) suggests that by year end, a corpus of Rs30 billion per annum will be built from domestic coal usage only. This corpus is likely to extend itself to leverage from public-private partnerships, especially with weighted average deduction of R&D expenses enhanced to 200% for in-house research, and 175% for sponsored projects to boast clean energy initiatives.
Under the caveat of the Solar Mission, the Budget has significantly reduced capital costs for investors by providing a concessional duty (5%) on all equipment, machinery etc., needed for the setting up of photovoltaic and solar thermal units. Mr Anil Lakhina, Chairman Forum for Advancement of Solar Thermal, states "The budget has taken some excellent steps in the solar space which would prove beneficial, and we welcome the complete acceptance that this budget has provided to the National Solar Mission."
To encourage investments and development of wind power, the Budget has reduced duties on permanent magnets and electricity generators which would provide some relief to project developers. Geothermal energy generation has received an encouraging exemption from all basic customs and special additional duties. The lowering of excise duty on LED and CFL will add fillip to the Bureau of Energy Efficiency's 'Bachat Lamp Yojana'. However this provision could have well been extended to energy labelled products to promote energy efficiency.
Within urban infrastructure, there is an emphasis on detraction from private-vehicle usage brought about by an increase in fuel prices, as well as increase in excise duties (year-on-year) on large cars, MUVs and SUVs. In his speech, the Minister noted the significance of urban public transportation in reducing fossil-fuel dependence, and with this Budget, he has granted import status for monorail projects in urban transport.
This amalgamation of emphasis on cleaner energies, and better infrastructure development is a prime example of India's intent and optimism towards a sustainable, low carbon economy that secures its two pronged aim of energy security and meeting development goals.

Let the game-changing, sporty styling and intuitive interior draw you in. You'll find the Corolla Hatch really is for the bold.
Step inside Corolla Hatch and elevate your senses. The thoughtfully crafted interior with contrasting trim flows effortlessly throughout. This modern look and finish is accentuated by a spacious, minimalist layout featuring elegantly styled ornamentation.
Intelligent technology means having Siri Eyes Free™ at your fingertips. Combine these with a cleverly designed, intuitive interior and every drive becomes an adventure.
Corolla Hatch has been designed with leading Toyota Safety Sense[S1] technologies will help you stay out of harm's way – including, for the first time, with Lane Trace Assist[B38].
With a lower centre of gravity and strong silhouette designed to hug the road, the Corolla Hatch is powered by advanced hybrid and petrol engines, taking performance to new levels.
Low running and maintenance costs are just two of the reasons why Corolla has been one of Australia's favourite small cars for so many years. A range of competitive finance options offered by Toyota Finance[T7] can be easily arranged through your Toyota Dealer at purchase, which means you could be behind the wheel in no time. Toyota Insurance's[T9] Comprehensive Motor Vehicle policy is packed with benefits that make owning a Corolla Hatch as worry-free as possible.
Corolla Sedan employs an emotive design called "modern prestige", which combines a contemporary look achieved through an elegant, yet powerful appearance and a strong on-road presence.
Slide into Corolla Sedan's body-hugging, multi-adjustable driver's seat and you can't fail to be impressed by the quality of the stylish interior finishes and trims.
With 470 litres of space and a wide opening luggage compartment, Corolla Sedan is really easy to load and unload. For longer items, the space can be extended by adjusting the 60:40 split fold rear seats.
Choose from either a 6-speed manual (Ascent and SX only) or the 7-Speed Multi-drive Automatic. In the ZR, paddle shifts enable you to inject even more sporty dynamism into the drive.
The Smart Entry Smart Start system on the SX and ZR 'recognises' your key fob via wireless technology as you approach the car and enables you to unlock and start the car without taking the keys out of your pocket or bag.
Corolla Sedan is fitted with a Reversing Camera[B4] and rear parking sensors to help you avoid hard to see obstacles such as low fence posts. SX and ZR models also include front clearance sensors.
Toyota's world leading Hybrid Synergy Drive® (HSD) technology is an advanced Hybrid System which teams a petrol engine with an advanced electric motor. The system intelligently manages the input from each power source depending on the driving situation, to provide the optimum balance of performance and fuel economy. With uncompromised performance but using less fuel, the intelligent new Corolla Hybrid Hatch creates a smoother and quieter ride.
Corolla has evolved into an agile and sporty drive that promises a dynamic driving experience. Genuine performance and admirable fuel efficiency are delivered with equal ease from the 1.8L engine featuring Dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) technology that's under the bonnet of every Corolla.
The true value of Corolla Hybrid Hatch is getting the best of all worlds. The Hybrid technology combines a 1.8L petrol engine with an advanced electric motor. Using Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive® technology, the two power sources work in parallel and can drive the car independently or together. This 'fully hybrid' system enables truly dynamic performance while at the same time delivering high fuel efficiency and exceptionally low CO2 emissions[G1].
By ensuring high-level fuel efficiency, Hybrid Synergy Drive® helps minimise the output of CO2[G1] and other harmful emissions.
All of Toyota's hybrid vehicles are designed to comply with relevant global exhaust emissions regulations.
The aerodynamic styling of Toyota's hybrid vehicles, and clever pairing of an electric motor and robust petrol engine, delivers significant fuel economy. Vehicles also provide ongoing feedback via the Multi Information Display (MID), so you can actively evaluate efficiency and change the way you drive.
Starting off
When travelling at low speeds in EV mode, only the electric motor is used for a quieter drive with zero CO2 emissions[G1].
Full Acceleration
When accelerating or cruising at high speeds the petrol engine turns on providing additional power and responsive performance.
During deceleration or braking, the electric motor generates power and stores it in the battery.
At Rest
When your Toyota stops, the petrol engine turns off, conserving fuel.

$1 million pledge jump-starts Wilkes-Barre Career Services Center
Plans are under way for a new Career Services Center at Penn State Wilkes-Barre that will provide students with comprehensive career planning and job seeking services. A major matching gift from Wilkes-Barre alumnus Richard K. "Ric" Struthers and his wife, Sharon, has jump-started the campus' fundraising effort to support the project.
The Struthers have pledged $1 million to Penn State Wilkes-Barre. Their gift will match 50 percent of the cost to build and furnish the new Career Services Center, up to a total commitment of $500,000. The remainder of their commitment will be split with $250,000 going to create the Struthers Family Trustee Scholarship supporting students at Penn State Wilkes-Barre with need. The additional $250,000 will go into an endowment by the Struthers Family, annually supporting the operational expenses of the new Career Services Center.

Houston, which is last in the Southwest Division, appeared to be in disarray after a 3-11 start in which they dropped all eight games they played without injured superstar Tracy McGrady, who was out with back spasms. The Rockets are 4-1 since McGrady returned to the lineup on Nov. 29 and have won three straight, including two in a row to start their recent road trip.

Talk about the upcoming Warriors game here
Moderators: Mr. Crackerz, JREED, Guybrush, 32
I've got a bad feeling about this game. The Rockettes lost in Oakland last year, and they need each win they can get after their awful start.
I've got the feeling that McGrady will go nuts and win the game for the Rockettes.
Houston +5.
I've got the feeling that McGrady will go nuts and win the game for the Rockettes.
Houston +5.
+10. I got a feeling the Warriors are gonna show up on ESPN tonight. Plus, the Rockets still have big name credential (despite their bad record this year). Beating them will really put us higher on the map. Tracy's back? It wont matter. Big game for Baron Davis now that he's back in the limelight of ESPN! Baron, Troy, and Derek are gonna deliver! Plus, I'm calling a bounce back for JR. Last game wasn't his best. I'm thinking at least 25 for Richardson.
I like your optimism 32. I think we get get this one as well. I believe that the boys are a little dissappointed in their game lst night. they should have won in regulation. They will be coming out gunning. Besides Tmac Houston cant match us especially our bench. We got this one by at least 5.

Rockets veterans can't keep up with young Warriors. I bet a lot of Chinese fans are going to show up. Still Warriors win.

The Biggest Losers – Financial Edition
With today's economy, it's easy to think that you're the only one that's being directly affected by the losses on the stock market or by the rise in prices on food at your local supermarket. It's also easy to feel like the only people being affected by the recession or the middle and lower class people, blue collar workers.
Unfortunately, this is not the case. Even the world's most wealthy people are bleeding money. Now, don't get me wrong, I do not feel sorry for these people. In my opinion, if you can lose over 5 billion dollars and still have a net worth of 13 billion dollars, you're doing pretty good. If you're on a "billionaire" list, you really don't have as many worries as the rest of us. Yes, you may have to sell one of your fifteen homes, but you still have electricity, food, a home, and clothes on your back.
It absolutely sickens me to think that these people, still making billions of dollars after huge losses in the market, think they have it bad. They don't know what bad is. Until you can't pay your power bill or you wonder how you will feed your family this week, you don't have it as bad as most of the people in the U.S. right now. I have been there, and struggle every day to keep from falling that far again.
On the other hand, I think it's important to realize that we are not the only ones losing money from the recession. It's very easy to think that you and your neighbors are all struggling, but it's not easy to think that a billionaire even knows what the word "struggle" means when it comes to money. But according to some numbers, these billionaires may be learning to associate money with the word struggle.
Forbes agrees. They recently noted that "They're reeling as much as everyone else," in regards to billionaires. Effects have been seen globally. I had no idea until today that a former Icelandic billionaire (Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson) sold the soccer team that he owned in order to pay off his debts. I also learned that a German billionaire Adolf Merckle took his own life after his business suffered losses that he undoubtedly thought he was unable to come back from.
While these stories don't make me feel sorry for the "billionaire community" as a whole, it does help to know that I'm not the only one suffering. I'm not saying that I want everyone to feel what I feel and to go through what I've had to go through. It's just that for once, it looks like the people who seem to always be ahead, actually may begin to know what it's like to really feel the economic downturns that our world has faced before.
I hope that since these billionaires have suffered losses and suffered from the recession that maybe they won't take it for granted again. I can only hope that if they recover their money, they realize how precious it is and give more of it away to charitable organizations. Maybe for once, they'll realize that they own over 50 percent of the world's wealth and it should be taken care of rather than being spent on frivolous things.
Maybe everything really does happen for a reason, and maybe we're all really not alone.

I would like to begin this post by sharing a long, meandering, embarrassing personal story. That's not terribly out of character; when you have as many embarrassing stories as I do you dole them out indiscriminately. Hell, I begin each bus ride and shower with a humiliating personal anecdote as well.
A few years back I lived in an apartment where the stove didn't work. Being a good Midwesterner, I think that if you have a problem you should ignore and ignore it until you die of a heart attack at 50 for having swallowed your rage your entire life. Eventually, though, it got too much for even me to bear so I called up my landlord and complained.
He explained to me that he'd be happy to have me buy a new stove for the apartment, since I had obviously broken the old one. I unwisely decided to play hardball. "Gosh, I dunno, that sounds like the kind of thing I should probably talk to a lawyer about," I told him, my voice visibly shaking with anxiety. I didn't get a new stove but three days later (this was two days after Christmas) my landlord showed up at my apartment to tell me I had thirty-three days to find a new apartment, since he was tearing up my month-to-month lease. The story actually gets substantially more depressing after that but I will spare you the details.
So I knew exactly how Liz Lemon felt when, at Jenna's urging, she played hardball with Jack and threatened to shop around a Dealbreakers show Jack wanted to develop for her. This was another instance of art imitating life; a Head Writer for an NBC sketch show being reluctantly thrust into the spotlight as the star of her very own show.
Tonight's episode was on much surer footing than the past four episodes, since it was rooted in the alternating currents of competition and collaboration, hostility and affection and love and hate that have come to define Jack and Liz's relationship. Tonight's episode was really a platonic professional romance between mismatched partners who just so happen to be perfect for each other.
In "The Problem Solvers", Jack tried to prove that he didn't need Liz and Liz tried to prove that she, in the words of Tyler Perry, could do bad all by herself. So instead of agreeing to develop a Dealbreakers show with Jack she decided to strike out on her own and signed with a very, very junior agent who is making a rocky, not particularly successful transition from representing animals to representing primates and human beings. It's pretty evident that he still has a whole lot to learn about interacting with folks highest up on the food chain.
Jenna and Tracy, meanwhile, (oh, meanwhile, the lazy writer's segue of choice) decide to put their heads together to form a problem-solving duo called, naturally enough, The Problem Solvers. I haven't been terribly enamored of Jenna this season but I found the Problem Solvers thread mildly amusing.
Last episode, Jack selected a street performer who make-pretends that he's a silver robot as The Girly Show's new cast member. It felt like the kind of throwaway gag that's discarded arbitrarily but the Silver Robot man turned out to be a handsome young Canadian overjoyed, overwhelmed and deeply confused to suddenly have a spot on a network sketch show. It's a testament to how zany 30 Rock has become that a street performer who dresses like a robot and has a memory corroded by too much exposure to silver paint emerged as the episode's most normal, grounded character. Who knows if we'll see much more of this strapping young man, but he was an appealing addition to the show. And I did enjoy the parade of Canadian references in the flashback to the Canuck football movie he starred in when he wore a younger man's clothes.
The Canadian cast-member inadvertently ended up antagonizing Kenneth, who is deeply freaked out that nobody seems to need him anymore. He's a Smithers without a Mr. Burns, a sidekick without a hero but by the end of the episode he once again felt needed.
Jack flirts with the idea of replacing Liz with Padma Lakshmi, who tonight occupied the "insanely hot girl/wooden performer" slot previously occupied by Salma Hayek. To give Hayek credit, she was a Gilda Radner-like comic virtuoso compared to Lakshmi. And to think, NBC wants to give the woman her own comedy. Granted, I would happily watch Lakshmi seal bags from the Glad Family of Products for an hour but she was a comedy killer tonight.
Lakshmi was a comic black hole but otherwise tonight was a mild return to form. It was consistently funny but more importantly it deepened and developed Jack and Liz's relationship. Jack may be a cold-hearted bastard, but he's also the kind of well-bred gentleman who'll keep you from accidentally setting yourself on fire
Stray Observations—
—I can't believe I didn't realize the Lakshmi designing a clear bag for sandwich bit was a riff on Glad's Top Chef product placement until I was writing this post
—Here is my considered, objective opinion of Lakshmi, from a detached critical perspective: (eyes bug out like The Big Bad Wolf in a Tex Avery cartoon): hommina, hommina, aooga, agooda, pant, pant, pant!
—That is to say, I find her physically attractive
—"I gave you that car I won?"
—Do you think 30 Rock will develop this Dealbreakers thing or will it be carelessly abandoned?

For the second year in a row, OU's Kendric Maple was nominated with a 4.00 grade point average. Tyler Caldwell (Oklahoma State) was also nominated with a perfect GPA. Maple becomes a two-time first team selection along with teammate Jarrod Patterson and OSU's Chris Perry.
First team members consist of those who have maintained a 3.20 or better GPA while the second team selections hold a 3.00 to 3.19 GPA.
To qualify student-athletes must maintain a 3.00 GPA or higher either cumulative or the two previous semesters and must have participated in 60 percent of their team's scheduled contests. Freshmen and transfers are not eligible in their first year of academic residence. Senior student-athletes who have participated for a minimum of two years and meet all the criteria except percent of participation are also eligible.
