Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll is supposedly dropping hints on his Twitter account today about just who his team will select in the NFL draft that starts Thursday night.
Carroll is listing song titles and telling his followers to read the clues. You can follow along here along with the coach's current 386,000 followers. But here's a couple clues of my own.
For starters, Carroll isn't about to telegraph other teams who his team is interested in. Secondly, the Seahawks don't know who will be available when they pick, so even they don't know exactly who will be available at their turns.
And most importantly, each of Carroll's tweets comes with a link to that song's music video on the Bing.com Web site. And, yes, Bing is a corporate partner of the Seahawks, who wear their logo on their practice jerseys along with other sponsor relations.
It's also worth noting that Carroll recently hired USC blogger Ben Malcolmson to help blog and tweet for him, so it's probably a safe guess that the coach himself isn't spending a lot of time today pondering musical titles.
But, hey, it's all for about entertainment, so if you want to play along, here are the song titles listed so far:

SpaceX: Later
Despite headlines (CNN has blurbed it as a "fizzle") this is pretty impressive; I don't think a Shuttle launch could be safely aborted with a half-second to go, not with solid-fuel boosters already lit. SpaceX, on the other hand, is going over the hardware and telemetry and will have another go once they find and fix the issue, possibly as early as 22 or 23 May. They're in the freight business, not the stunt business.
This is a real launch with a real cargo, destination ISS -- but it's all nonessentials. It will be the first run-through of the docking procedure.

They did good and the media in general dumped on them. Would have to go look it up exactly but I was the Orbiter Test Conductor for STS 55 which had engine shutdown at about three seconds. Was not a good day at the office!

Ouch. Totally not a good day -- but worse if it happened on the plus side of zero.
BTW: Wow! Supercool job!
- May 19, 2012 at 2:41 PM
It was a "fun" job! Boredom punctuated by heart pounding excitment and a few moments of sheer terror. The chair I sat in for that launch had to be replaced. lol....

I don't think that is fair criticism. NASA scrubs launches all the time, and even then, they blow up quite a few rockets.
Not just the shuttles, either. There was a Delta II that blew up in 2008, the Columbia in 2003, and nearly every shuttle mission got scrubbed at least once.
- May 19, 2012 at 4:01 PM
- Roberta X said...
Aren't they are still required to be able to blow them up under certain post-launch failure conditions, the unmanned launches anyway? Better an airborne fireball and a rain of small parts than big parts and flaming rocket fuel falling.
- May 19, 2012 at 4:44 PM
Oh yes! They all have a Range Safety System which will put them in the water!

According to Wikipedia (FWIW), SRB ignition occurs at T -0 seconds, so an abort at T -0.5s should have been possible.
But regardless of what the clueless MSM says, SpaceX did it right.

Jake: That's good to know. I was never comfy with the whole SRB thing. Ya can't turn them off!
...The more I learn about manned spaceflight, the more impressed I am with the people who do it, both on the ground and in the air. It's very iceberg-y; we only see ten percent of what goes on -- and only grasp one percent of the risks.

Well, first, comparing SpaceX to the shuttle is a fail - because we don't have a shuttle program left.
And second, nope, once you light the solid rocket boosters on the former US spacecraft known in the past as the shuttle, that SOB is going up no matter what.

I spent a few months in Rockwell/Downey plant space shuttle operations group something like three decades back.
A guy I worked for, as a lowly engineering intern, had an amusing project. It seems that the shuttle was held down on the pad by these monster clamping arms. And those arms were in place while the main engines ignited and throttled up, and only let go when the SRB's lit. So there was a lot of dynamic thrust on them at the moment they let go of the shuttle. And the shuttle would snap around laterally at release. NASA wanted to know - for obvious reasons because there was structures around - how far the shuttle would sproing. So they spent millions building video cameras with armored hoods and got ... millions of dollars worth of video of smoke.
This guy out at Downey, I can't recall his name, got the idea of asking Kodak for a couple of score of the little sonar devices they made for their sonar based auto focus cameras. He put them inside of short lengths of pipe and screwed them down on the pad pointing at key locations on the shuttle and gathered data on the amount of movement at the moment of release for a budget that wasn't a hundredth of what had been spent on video cameras.

Being able to abort at T-0.5 seconds without destroying the ship, the facility, or anything else is pretty doggone cool.
As for the MSM: Envy is the deadliest of the sins, innit? ;-)

That was my first thought, too--"Holy crap! They can stop it with half a second to go?" I once fired an Estes model off into the wild blue yonder at least half a second after somebody yelled at me to stop.

HDD Pictures of Knowing Some of Fire Pit Benches Ideas
Fire pit benches are one of most appealing features for the backyard. They are basically a fire pit, mostly the built up fire pit in which surrounded by benches as the seat places. Fire pit is designed as the place where the fire lighted up and the protector spot to prevent the fire from spreading. You can find fire pit built in various styles from the simple pit that dug in the ground in which people use them in the camping site until the structure of stone or brick that elaborated with gas to light on the fire.
Fire pit is originally coming from the ancient nomadic era where people make them by cutting down woods from the trees to warm them up, give some lighting to them during the night as well as for cooking their foods.
Designing and creating the fire pit and benches around it can be a challenging thing to do because you need to fit them with the whole look of your yard. As for example, you can simply dug the ground and make circle form of it. Then to prevent the fire from spreading, you can build a short circle wall around the fire pit and make the wall thick so that it can function as a table as well. As the benches, you can place some wooden chairs with pouches on each of them to give a relaxing atmosphere on the seat.
The second example is inspired with the modern living. You can build a high fire pit made out of metal which uses gas to light up the fire. Not only that, you can prepare a grill that can fit with half of the fire pit. The tables come around the fire pit followed by some lounges to provide a relaxing atmosphere.
Lastly, you can modify the fire pit and its benches depend on your mood and creativity so that you are able to express your mood and personality while inviting your friends and relatives.

Left-wing liberal looney toons have a well-documented history of corrupting young minds at the undergraduate level. After just one semester, unwitting parents are horrified to discover that leftist indoctrination camps have armed students with terms like "genetically modified organisms" and "deductive reasoning," as well as an affinity for Ron Paul and cannabis.
But did you know that there are far more sinister happenings afoot? Gay resident advisors are forcing your young people to accept gay people as human beings deserving of equal rights.
Intelligent person Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse of NOM's highly-respected Ruth Institute explains how to save your college co-ed from "the things that they're doing" before it's too late:
…The other side has RAs in the dorm where your young people are going to school. There's no TV message that is going to do the job of countering that type of influence. Somebody's got to be there talking to young people, one at a time, in the places where they're hanging out and doing the things that they're doing. There is no mass-media strategy by itself that will solve this problem.
This holiday season, when your young people come home from college, ask them about this. Ask them if they have a gay RA in their dorms, because as I've talked to other people about this, a lot of them have said, "Gosh, now that you mention it, my daughter was in a dorm, even at a Christian college, where she had a gay RA."
So, please, talk to your young people about this and see what kind of pressure they may be under that maybe they don't even realize how much it's having an impact.
Hear that, parents? Your young people could be under so much pressure that they don't even know how much pressure they're under. Yikes. Scary stuff. Act now to stop your young person from thinking.
Next thing you know, gays will want to be United States senators.

5 Ways to Save Money on Traveling this Fall
Traveling season may be winding down for most folks, but for others, this is the best time of year to travel! The weather is still nice here in the Pacific Northwest and I say it is still a good time to get out and see stuff.
Not only will you find milder temperatures during the autumn moths, but who can ignore nature's splendor with all the trees showing us their true colors?
If you are looking to save money on traveling this time of year, in the PNW or elsewhere, here are some tips on ways to save money on traveling this fall.
5 Ways to Save Money on Traveling this Fall
Look at discount websites such as Orbitz, Travelocity or even Groupon.
Did you know Groupon has a travel section on their site? You can find great local deals on resorts, travel stops, restaurants, hotels and more just by looking on the site. This is the perfect time to look locally, especially if you live in an area like I do that gets cold and tourist season almost stops as these places are offering deep discounts to scoop up last minute travelers. This brings me to my next tip…
Stay close to home.
If you don't travel far, you usually won't spend as much. Play tourist in your own area and you could even itch that travel bug by doing just a day trip or an over night one. Is there a state park not far that you have been wanting tio visit"? How about a small town that has some quirky and fun things to do? Play tourist in your area and you won't need to spend much.
Don't travel on holidays or near them.
This seems like common sense, but airlines and hotels raise rates around the holidays to gouge people who are coming to town to visit relatives. If you can, don't travel near Halloween or Thanksgiving. Instead, stick with the first or 2nd week in November or October.
Additionally, skip weekends if you can. Traveling on a Tuesday, Wednesday or even a Thursday usually costs less.
Book a Hotel with a mini-fridge or Kitchenette.
Since rats on hotels are going down this time of year, you may be able to afford a room with a few luxuries. If it's not too much of a price difference, get a room with a mini-fridge and/or a kitchenette. You will save a lot of money on your trip if you don't eat out every meal. Instead, think of a few family favorites to make on the road!
Pay attention to dates.
Sometimes, "Summer rates" continue through then end of November or October for certain things like Zoos, amusement parks and other attractions. Try to find things to do that are not in the summer rates so you don't end up paying just as much as you would during peak travel time. Also, paying attention to dates allows you to know what will even be open when you get there so you won't be in a world of disappointment.
One comment on "5 Ways to Save Money on Traveling this Fall"
These are all great tips and ones that we use when we do travel…which isn't that often! Thanks for sharing them with us.

If you have been on the net and blogging for any length of time then you will have heard of Chris Brogan,Brian Clark, Sonia Simone, Darren Rowse … yeah that's right some of the gurus (even though they don't like that title) of this blogging game, but also absolute entrepreneurs with a TON experience to share.
How much would you pay to get coaching by these guys? Truth is most of us simply could not afford it on an ongoing basis, because even a few sessions would cost us a small fortune (Don't believe me…. go look up ANY business coach and see how much their hourly rate is.
How do you do that at an affordable rate?
How would you like to access expert tips, tactics and feedback from those experts, without breaking the bank?
You can do it by joining the third tribe (affiliate link).
Why am I promoting this program?
It is simple…. I was an early adopter I got on board this great community very close to when it was launched. At that stage the price was significantly less than it is today, and I was reluctant about whether I would get any true value from subscribing.
That reluctance was quickly overcome. Why? Simply because from day one the featured content that I had access to started to make a difference to how I was thinking about what I do, and I have learned way more than the value of the subscription rate from the featured content alone.
However, the Third Tribe forums are great and not only do you get responses from Chris Brogan,Brian Clark, Sonia Simone, Darren Rowse, you also get great feedback and support from a huge number of other content and subject matter experts.
It is only fair to warn you that the price of the subscription has gone up twice since I joined the Third Tribe. But as more people have joined the Third Tribe so has the value of the discussion that goes on in the forums.
If you are not certain that joining the Third Tribe is for, you can try out the Third Tribe free for 30 days…. the process is fully explained over at the third tribe site. As at 1 June 2010 if you join the Third Tribe you get to ……..

The featured content is well worth your subscription, but if you come and join me at the Third Tribe I'm sure you will hang around for the value of the conversation that occurs in the Tribe forums.
How do you get a 24/7 access to all this for an attractive price?
You get 24/7 access to the featured content and a community of people to help solve your problems for the attractive price of $97 per month (which is less that a one hour session with a business coach or consultant) by joining me in the Third Tribe. Just remember the subscription price has already gone up twice an could go up again as the value of the conversations inside the Tribe continues to grow.
OK I'm going to make a little bit of money when you join via my affiliate links, so I want to give you something of extra value as well. If you join via my affiliate link I will help to promote your blog/business by conducting and posting an interview with you or hosting a suitable guest post from you. What value is that? Well that depends. It has as much value as WE can create out of it.
Come and join me in the Third Tribe community and let's apply some of the lessons together.

So after being less than thrilled at the prospect of a revived Superman franchise, I have to say that Bryan Singer's take on what must be the most recognised superhero in the world is pretty darn good.
The very production was handicapped from the start, and I'm not talking about the change of directors or the search for the perfect Christopher Reeve look-alike – I'm talking about the fact that Superman has to be the least-interesting super hero that DC Comics have to offer. Sure, he's one of the first, but really, he's simply unstoppable until you throw some Kryptonite his way (which you KNOW is always gonna happen), and this is never going to make for a truly thrilling experience.
Keeping that in mind, I'm glad to announce that Superman Returns is probably the best Superman movie that one could make. Singer is a master of the big-budget superhero action scene (the plane bit is an absolute show-stopper), and the film truly manages to convey the overwhelming nature of his strength and the thrill of flying. Strangely enough, this movie has very few action scenes, but during these moments one can truly understand why such a hero would capture the imagination and hopes of the people of Metropolis.
Singer has stayed so close to Richard Donner's 1978 movie that it's a little disturbing at first. It even mimics the horribly long opening title sequence of the original, complete with cheesy special effects, and John Ottman's score works fairly closely within John Williams' original material. Frustratingly there is no reinvention or even reinvigoration of the Clark Kent/Superman character as we saw with Bruce Wayne in Batman Begins, which means Supes still is a pretty dull guy. Brandon Routh does what's necessary, but there's really no chance for him to excel. Kate Bosworth is great as Lois Lane, though she looks way too young for the part, and Frank Langhella and Sam Huntington are perfectly cast as Perry White and Jimmy Olsen respectively. Kevin Spacey makes the most of the Lex Luthor role, though Superman Returns doesn't really have him doing anything extraordinary – he's just doing what Luthor does best, with little explanation as to where his lust for power comes from. It's a pity really that the screenwriters didn't feel the need to infuse these characters with a little more depth.
Now that the flagging DC has managed to get big budget recreations of their most obvious heroes on the big screen, it would be fantastic if they could get something else up there… (For instance Green Lantern, as long as David Goyer is attached and as long as the Jack Black rumours are just that…) The Vertigo adaptations have been great (ok so Keanu Reeves was a silly choice for the blonde Englishman Constantine) and I'm of the rather extreme opinion that everyone should see V For Vendetta at least twice in their lifetime.
Superman Returns doesn't have the depth of Batman Begins or the charm of Spider-Man, but makes good use of a super strong dude in a blue, red and yellow wetsuit. It may have gone a little too far in honouring Superman and Superman II, but there's enough big screen destruction to satisfy the simplest of comic book desires.Rating:

We do a few things unconventionally at BP3.? And people who work here probably have heard me, at one time or another, advocate that you can over-think the innovation in your company when you try to innovate too much with organization and HR procedures.?
If you think of a company's primary means of innovation (as listed below), my take is that you only want to be contrarian on a couple of these, not all of them:
- product innovation
- business model innovation (sales, marketing, etc.)
- process innovation (to enable the above)
- organizational innovation (to enable the above)
Perhaps the biggest risk is with the fourth bullet.? You get this wrong, and everything else will fall apart as you demotivated your team. And yet.? At BP3 we are a bit contrarian about not so much the organizational structure, but about how we go about reinforcing our culture and performance.?
So it is always a nice bit of confirmation bias when I find research or articles that have a similar point of view, like this one by Ken Goldstein: 3 arguments against performance reviews.
- (my personal pet peeve): "performance reviews can put off for up to a year what needs attention now."? Top performance is all about feedback loop and how fast you can learn. If you wait to give someone feedback until their performance review, their improvement cycle will be only annually... Those uncomfortable conversations need to happen sooner, not later.
- "performance reviews are largely clueless on the value of failure".? This is an interesting take on performance reviews. The idea that failure is punished too harshly, rather than risk-taking rewarded, and the learning from those failures re-incorporated into the business going forward.
- "performance reviews require a level of mentoring expertise few managers ever master." According to the author: "It is one of the hardest things any of us are ever asked to do in a job function. Each time we blow it, we never get a chance to repair the enormous damage we create on top of whatever relatively minor damage has already been done."? More damage to organizations and culture is done through bad performance reviews than most other activities in a business.
At BP3 we try to focus on the feedback and let our team members understand their own failures and learn from them. But I'll be the first to say this approach isn't for everyone.? It takes a lot of self-confidence to tear your own performance up.? And it takes a certain demeanor to not sweat it when you relinquish that responsibility to your teams and let them succeed or fail and learn and get better.
Further confirmation comes from Stanford's CS183C class notes, an interview with Slice Co-Founder Patrick Collison:
John Lilly: Can you talk about how Stripe is organized? Do you have VPs, managers, etc.?
Patrick Collison:? We are conventionally organized. As founders we have a tendency to do things differently. It comes from a good place but there are two problems with innovating on the organizational model:
- The standard means of organization helped create Google/Facebook/Amazon/etc. Even if you could organize a company in a better way, do you need to do that?
- Any alternative you do create, it's hard to get exposure and experience in that model.
Technology tends to change a lot but people and the organization of people are the same systems today. [...]
This is an incredible level of maturity of outlook on organization for someone in Patrick's shoes.? And it perfectly describes how I feel about innovating on organization.? When you hear your company talking about matrices and pods and innovative structures, the alarm bells should be going off. Maybe you would expect a startup to roll the dice with something like this, but honestly, you're already rolling the dice in so many ways with your company, org structure may not be the best thing to take additional bets with.
[incidentally, the whole series of class notes for CS183C is amazing. This is the kind of class that makes Stanford a truly unique and special place in the ecosystem of software and startups]

1. What goals are you working on now?
I'm currently training for life! And also the Equinox half marathon. My current goal is to run a sub 2 hour half marathon. I've gotten close in previous years, and I'm pretty sure I'll get there on September 16th.
2. What challenges do you face in your fitness routine? How do you overcome those challenges?
Honestly, the biggest challenge for me is the mental "game" of it all. I haven't always loved this body of mine and I used to put a lot of pressure on myself to do things perfectly, see results quickly and look a certain way. But in reality, everything we do, every decision we make in life is motivated by something. The hardest part is nailing down what that something really is. Ultimately, I think it's important to focus on your "why". Exercise isn't about comparing yourself to others, looking a certain way or being better than the competition; it's about being the best version of yourself and doing something to thank your mind and body, maybe kicking some ass along the way. Working out with the Persistent Hunters fam has helped me get out of my own way and to remind myself how fortunate I am to have the physical capabilities to exercise and that I am grateful to my body for serving me well and the amazing things it can do.
3. Please share a recent success or milestone (fitness/health or otherwise)?
Reached triple digits on back squats!
4. What's your favorite guilty pleasure?
That's a tough one! I don't have much of a sweet tooth. I am a vegetarian and occasionally an opportunistic carnivore, so I would have to say my favorite guilty pleasure is my mother's chicken enchiladas. Cheesy, gooey, spicy; feels like home.

This is an excerpt from Daniels' Running Formula, Third Edition, by Jack Daniels.
When we attempt to analyze how any type of training affects performance in any sport, it is important to understand what demands running places on the human body. Is speed of greatest importance, or strength and power, or is it endurance that is primary in the sport in question? No doubt being at altitude affects the body in a few different ways, and the following points are worthy of consideration.
Relative to racing at altitude, there are two types of acclimatization that take place with training at altitude (as mentioned in point 3); one is a physiological acclimatization and one a competitive acclimatization. A big difference between these two types of acclimatization is that the physiological benefits, such as learning to ventilate larger amounts of air, are lost after some time back at sea level, and much of the competitive benefits are not lost, even after some weeks or months back at sea level.
In other words, once you have gone through the process of learning how to race at altitude, that will stay with you fairly permanently; you tend to remember how best to race in this environment. You could compare this to learning to race a new distance. A 5K race is a fair bit different for a miler, but after running a few 5K races, the runner will have adjusted to competing at this distance.
I should clarify that in this discussion about altitude training and racing, I am referring to moderate altitude, which is generally considered altitudes between 1,200 and 2,500 meters, which are in the range of about 4,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level. Most of my studies and training of athletes at altitude have been at elevations of about 2,130 to 2,255 meters (7,000 to 7,400 feet). There's no question that 7,000 feet imposes almost double the stress than does 5,000 feet because the real problems with altitude don't begin until about 3,000 feet above sea level, so going from 5,000 to 7,000 is about the same as going from sea level to 5,000.
Upon arrival at altitude, one's aerobic capacity (V∙O2max) is reduced by about 12 to 16 percent, but a runner's performance is affected by only about 6 to 8 percent. This happens because the "cost" (aerobic demand) of running is less at altitude compared to sea level, as a result of the less dense air against which you are running. So you lose some in aerobic power but gain some back in running economy.

N. Korea declares 'state of war' with South
By Lim Chang-Won
SEOUL, March 30, 2013 (AFP) – North Korea on Saturday declared it was in a "state of war" with South Korea and warned Seoul and Washington that any provocation would swiftly escalate into an all-out nuclear conflict.
The United States said it took the announcement "seriously", but noted it followed a familiar pattern, while South Korea largely dismissed it as an old threat dressed in new clothing.
It was the latest in a string of dire-sounding pronouncements from Pyongyang that have been matched by tough warnings from Seoul and Washington, fuelling international concern that the situation might spiral out of control.
"As of now, inter-Korea relations enter a state of war and all matters between the two Koreas will be handled according to wartime protocol," the North said in a government statement carried by the Korean Central News Agency.
"The long-standing situation of the Korean peninsula being neither at peace nor at war is finally over," the statement said, adding that any US or South Korean provocation would trigger a "a nuclear war".
The two Koreas have technically remained at war for the past six decades because the 1950-53 Korean War concluded with an armistice rather than a peace treaty.
The North had announced earlier this month that it was ripping up the armistice and other bilateral peace pacts signed with Seoul in protest against South Korea-US joint military exercises.
The White House labeled the latest statement from Pyongyang as "unconstructive" and, while taking it "seriously", sought to place the immediate threat level in context.
"North Korea has a long history of bellicose rhetoric and threats and today's announcement follows that familiar pattern," said National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden.
In Seoul, the Unification Ministry insisted the war threat was "not really new". The Defense Ministry vowed to "retaliate thoroughly" to any provocation, but added that no notable troop movement had been observed along the border.
Late on Saturday the North ratcheted up its threats, warning it could shut down the Kaesong industrial complex, a joint South-North venture that provides the regime with crucial hard currency.
"We warn that stern measures will be taken if (South Korea) continues to make reckless remarks defaming our dignity," a state body said, adding that the fate of the complex depends entirely on the attitude of Seoul.
Established in 2004 as a symbol of cross-border cooperation, Kaesong had managed to keep functioning despite repeated crises in inter-Korean relations.
But there have been concerns that its operations would be affected by Pyongyang's move on Wednesday to sever a military hotline used to monitor movement in and out of the zone.
Most observers however still believe this will remain a verbal rather than a physical battle.
"The North Koreans in recent weeks have turned rhetoric into performance art," said Gordon Flake, a Korea specialist and executive director of the Mansfield Foundation in Washington.
"When they have already declared the armistice null and void, I do not think a declaration of war breaks new ground," Flake said.
But he added that the situation had now become so volatile that any slight miscalculation carried the potential for rapid escalation.
Both China and Russia have called for calm, with a Russian diplomat voicing particular concern on Saturday.
"We expect all sides to show maximum responsibility and restraint and that no-one will cross the line after which there will be no return," Grigory Logvinov, a Russian foreign ministry pointman on North Korea, told the Interfax news agency.
France on Saturday urged North Korea to refrain from any new provocation and return on the path of dialogue. Meanwhile Britain said threatening statements would only further isolate Pyongyang.
On Friday North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un ordered missile units to prepare to strike US mainland and military bases, after US stealth bombers flew over South Korea.
The high-stakes standoff has its roots in North Korea's successful long-range rocket launch in December and the third nuclear test it carried out in February.
Both events drew UN sanctions that incensed Pyongyang, which then switched the focus of its anger to the annual joint South Korea-US military drills.
As tensions escalated, Washington has maintained a notably assertive stance, publicising its use of nuclear-capable B-52s and B-2 stealth bombers in the war games.
The long-distance deployment of both sets of aircraft out of bases in Guam and the US mainland were intended as a clear signal of US commitment to defending South Korea against any act of aggression.

DENVER (AP) Carolina unleashed a flurry of shots from every direction and angle imaginable. That's all right, Semyon Varlamov was back on his game.
Varlamov stopped a career-high 57 shots, Blake Comeau scored the first of Colorado's three second-period goals over a 3:33 span and the Avalanche beat the Hurricanes 5-3 on Thursday night.
Varlamov wasn't even all that worn out as he set an Avalanche record for most saves in a regular-season game. The franchise record – including the Quebec Nordiques – is 70 by Ron Tugnutt on March 21, 1991, at Boston.
"I feel not bad, actually," Varlamov said. "Sometimes you face 30 shots and you're exhausted after the game. You never know how your body is reacting."
This was more like the Varlamov of old, the one who was a Vezina Trophy finalist in 2013-14. He missed a bulk of last season after having hip surgery to fix a lingering groin issue.
He also had a little added motivation: Rebounding from a forgettable game in which he allowed seven goals at Vegas last week.
"If you have a bad game, the next night you have to bounce back, so I had to forget about it and then just keep going," Varlamov said. "We knew that Carolina was shooting from everywhere. That was the key today, to see most of the shots."
Gabriel Landeskog and Mikko Rantanen also scored in the second period for Colorado. Carl Soderberg added a goal, and Patrik Nemeth got his first NHL goal to help the Avalanche improve to 5-1 at home. Colorado now embarks on a four-game, 10-day road trip that includes two contests in Stockholm, Sweden.
Victor Rask scored 55 seconds into the game for Carolina, which outshot the Avalanche 60-27. Elias Lindholm and Derek Ryan also had goals.
The Hurricanes pulled goaltender Cam Ward with around 1:45 remaining, but couldn't get anything past Varlamov, who preserved a 5-3 lead in the third by turning back 22 shots. His previous high for saves was 54 on Jan. 6, 2015, at Chicago.
"Phenomenal from start to finish," Colorado coach Jared Bednar said. "Tonight, he was exceptional. What more can you say?"
Colorado extended its lead to 4-2 in the second when Landeskog scored off a rebound. The Hurricanes challenged the goal, contending that Rantanen's skate may have been offside as Nathan MacKinnon brought the puck into the zone. The replay confirmed the goal and Carolina was assessed a delay-of-game penalty.
The Avs took advantage when Rantanen tipped in MacKinnon's pass 55 seconds later to extend the advantage to 5-2.
"Our guys have a view in the back – they still think it's offsides," Carolina coach Bill Peters said. "So, obviously that didn't work out. We got the double whammy with the power-play goal."
Carolina dominated the tempo in the first period, outshooting Colorado by a 22-9 margin.
"It looks great because we had a bunch of shots and scored a few goals, but definitely need to be better as a group defensively," Carolina defenseman Justin Faulk said.
His coach felt the same way.
"A couple times we could've been at the net, in his eyes, and we weren't," Peters said. "If he sees it, he's a good goaltender."
No argument about that Thursday.
"Varly was amazing for us," Soderberg said. "We could be way better, but fortunately we got a win."
NOTES: Carolina D Jaccob Slavin is from down the road in Erie, Colorado. He had six shots. … D Roland McKeown was recalled from Charlotte of the American Hockey League on Wednesday. He was a scratch. … MacKinnon finished with two assists. … Absent for a third straight game was Avalanche D Nikita Zadorov, a healthy scratch. "It (stinks) to be in the doghouse," lamented Zadorov, who signed a two-year deal at the start of training camp.
Hurricanes: At the Arizona Coyotes on Saturday.
Avalanche: At the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday.

Securities Activities of U.S. Commercial Bank Affiliates: Lessons from the International Financial Markets
An issue confronting U.S. policymakers is whether restrictions on securities activities of U.S. commercial banks ought to be abolished within a broader program of banking and financial market deregulation. The Euro-bond market offers an opportunity to examine the performance of a largely unregulated securities market and the behavior of U.S. commercial bank affiliates within that market. In this paper, we present evidence on the development and performance of the Euro-bond market over the last 20 years and then infer the likely consequences if a similar level of deregulation and competition were permitted in the United States. Data on the level of competition is presented along with an analysis of underwriting strategies and innovations that have been pursued in the market. The most serious criticisms concerning Euro-bond market operations--e.g. excessive spreads, conflicts of interest, and the Grey market--are reviewed. Overall, the evidence suggests that the Euro-bond market has experienced dynamic and vigorous growth, resulting in net benefits to both borrowers and lenders without exposing the financial instituitons to significant risks. Large U.S. companies regularly tap the Euro-bond market and capture some of these benefits. Allowing U.S. commercial bank affiliates to compete in the U.S. securities markets could make these benefits more certain and expand their availability toall firms with a minimal increase in risk to the safety and soundness of the banking system.

China Slays America
China Set To Reduce Exposure To Dollar
Move Would Probably Push Currency Down
By Peter S. Goodman
SHANGHAI, Jan. 9 -- China has resolved to shift some of its foreign exchange reserves -- now in excess of $800 billion -- away from the U.S. dollar and into other world currencies in a move likely to push down the value of the greenback, a high-level state economist who advises the nation's economic policymakers said in an interview Monday.
As China's manufacturing industries flood the world with cheap goods, the Chinese central bank has invested roughly three-fourths of its growing foreign currency reserves in U.S. Treasury bills and other dollar-denominated assets.
The new policy reflects China's fears that too much of its savings is tied up in the dollar, a currency widely expected to drop in value as the U.S. trade and fiscal deficits climb.
China now boasts the world's second-largest cache of foreign exchange -- behind only Japan -- and is on pace to see its reserves climb past $1 trillion later this year. Even a slight diminishing of the dollar as a percentage of those holdings could exert significant pressure on the U.S. currency, many economists assert.
In recent years, the value of the dollar has been buoyed by major purchases of U.S. Treasury bills by Japan, China and oil-exporting countries -- a flow of capital that has kept interests rates relatively low in the United States and allowed Americans to keep spending even as debts mount.
Some economists have long warned that if foreigners lose their appetite for American debt, the dollar would fall, interest rates would rise and the housing boom could burst, sending real estate prices lower.
The comments of the Chinese senior economist, made on the condition of anonymity because the government disciplines those who speak to the press without express authorization, confirmed an analysis in Monday's Shanghai Securities News stating that China is inclined to shift some its savings into other currencies such as the euro and the yen, or into major purchases of commodities such as oil for a long-discussed strategic energy reserve.
In a report circulated this week, Stephen Green, senior economist with the bank Standard Chartered PLC in Shanghai, identified several signals that China is intent on limiting its exposure to the dollar -- not least, a recent pledge from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange to "actively explore more efficient use of our foreign exchange reserves."
"We believe this adds to the downside pressure the USD [U.S. dollar] is currently facing," Green wrote. "It is the first official expression from SAFE that they are looking at switching away" from the dollar.
The comments on SAFE's Web site reinforced earlier public warnings from Yu Yongding, an economist on the monetary policy committee of China's central bank, that the country's reserves are now vulnerable to a drop in the value of the dollar.
"The general trend for the U.S. dollar is continuously weakening," Yu said, speaking to reporters at a conference in Beijing last month. "Countries with huge foreign-exchange reserves will have their assets shrunken."
Last week, Hu Xiaolian, director of the foreign exchange administration, said China plans to "optimize the structure" of its reserves. Analysts took that to mean China would pursue a higher return than it can get from holding dollars by diversifying its reserves.
Not all economists anticipate negative repercussions for the U.S. economy. Were China and Japan to engineer a significant fall in the dollar, those nations also would suffer the consequences -- sharply diminished exports as Americans lose spending power, plus a drop in the value of their dollar assets.
"It is thus extremely unlikely that China would do anything to harm its own balance sheet," wrote Stephen Jen, an economist with Morgan Stanley, in a research note distributed Monday.
In 2005, the dollar rebounded against major foreign currencies as the Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates -- making dollar assets relatively more attractive than others -- but has slid a bit early this year. Meanwhile, China continues to amass foreign-exchange reserves at a pace of roughly $15 billion per month.
Warnings about an impending Chinese sell-off in dollars emerged in July, as China slightly altered the way it sets the value of its currency, the yuan, bumping it up against the dollar by about 2 percent. At the time, China announced that it would gradually allow greater movement in the exchange rate -- something that has yet to materialize -- while also shifting from a system in which the yuan moves with changes in the dollar to one where it tracks a basket of currencies including the yen, the euro, the Hong Kong dollar and the South Korean won.
The move temporarily muted criticism on Capitol Hill from those who accuse China of currency manipulation, asserting that an artificially low yuan has made China's goods unfairly cheap on world markets. But as the implications of the new currency policy rippled out, some analysts suggested that China would thereafter have less need for dollars and greater need for the other currencies in the new basket, sending the greenback down and risking higher U.S. interest rates that would dampen economic growth.
EDIT: DAMPEN???? DAMPEN???? Don't PANIC AMERIKKKA!!!
China sought to quash such talk. In September, a senior central bank official told a ballroom full of international executives gathered in Beijing that China would not sell significant quantities of U.S. bonds, cognizant that such a move would "cause the price to plunge."
Even if a Chinese shift away from the dollar weakened the currency, that would probably not soothe tensions with those in Washington calling for an increase in the value of the yuan to help U.S. manufacturers.
Unless China severs the link between the value of its currency and the dollar -- a move Beijing says could destabilize its economy -- then a weaker dollar would simply mean a weaker yuan as well, leaving in place the current debate over whether China's export earnings are being netted unfairly.

We saw those who supported the third term project and those who opposed it. We also saw Buhari and Alhaji Balarabe Musa, leadership of the opposition ANPP in the gallery of NASS on their mission to rally their party caucus in the Senate against the constitutional amendments
The import and background to this debate was not lost on the senators. No elected civilian administration had, at the time, successfully handed over to another. Elections were due to hold in less than nine months, in the first quarter of 2007, to determine who would succeed President Obasanjo. Preceding the debate, the president had reorganised the ruling PDP in what many considered a martial fashion.
Some ex governors
Without the knowledge or participation of party organs, he ousted the Chairman, Audu Ogbeh, an urbane, bookish veteran of Nigerian politics, who had been a Minister in the previous civilian administration overthrown by the military in 1983. It was alleged, without confirmation or denial by anyone, that the president forced Chief Ogbeh to resign at gunpoint. In his place, Obasanjo installed another retired army colonel, Ahmadu Ali, whose defining attribute, Obasanjo recalled, was his capacity to "remain steadfast on what was agreed." Ali had served him over 20 years earlier as a controversial Education Minister when President Obasanjo was military Head of State. With this step, the president, his National Security Adviser, chairman of the ruling party and the chief of staff to the president were all retired senior soldiers who had worked together when Obasanjo was military Head of State from February 1976 until October 1979.
Delta villagers accuse Presco of causing flood in community
In the Senate, President Obasanjo's ruling PDP controlled 76 seats out of the available 109, representing 69.72% of the seats. This was well above the threshold of two-thirds or 66.67% needed to amend the Constitution. The ruling PDP did not just control nearly 70% of the Senate, it also controlled 28 out of the 36 governors across the country who could be relied upon, it was believed, to whip their state legislators behind the amendment.
Within the party leadership, it was understood that the governors would also benefit from the extension of the tenure of the president. Hence, according to Senator Ogunbanjo from President Obasanjo's home state in South West Nigeria, the "Latin words mutatis mutandis reverberated in the hall of the Constitution Review Centre [of the National Assembly] in Port Harcourt [Rivers State]…. It was agreed that whatever applies to the clause on the tenure of the office of the president, would apply mutatis mutandis to the clause on the office of governor." With the support of the governors assured with this mutatis mutandis arrangement, the senators had nowhere to hide, or so it was thought. From their states, their governors were well placed to put pressure on them with offers they could not refuse. If they ran to Abuja, the party at the centre could exercise the whip by threatening to deny them a ticket, without which their ambitions to return to the National Assembly could be extinguished. Caught in this high stakes political good-cop-bad-cop arrangement, the legislators were well aware that their political careers were at stake.
Some senators had more than their careers at stake. One of them was Daisy Danjuma, a female senator representing Edo-Central in the Niger Delta, who was married to Theophilus (TY) Danjuma, a billionaire and retired general with a fearsome reputation, who served as army chief in the military regime of General Obasanjo from February 1976 until October 1979 and then as his Defence Minister from June 1999 until May 2003. She narrated that her husband had warned her that if she voted in favour of the amendment, "he would throw me out of the house."
The problem was that the proposed amendment to extend the president's tenure was widely perceived to go against an implicit bargain that underpinned Nigeria's fragile and diverse ethnic mosaic. President Obasanjo was a Christian from southern Nigeria. Under a convention of the ruling PDP known as "zoning", it was understood that at the end of his constitutionally permissible two terms in office, President Obasanjo would be succeeded by a Muslim from Northern Nigeria. In fact, there were suggestions, never explicitly denied or confirmed, that prior to being elected, Obasanjo had agreed to serve only one term between 1999-2003 and hand over power back to General Babangida, another retired former military ruler from the North. If President Obasanjo succeeded in amending the Constitution to extend his tenure, this would terminate this arrangement unilaterally.
In the debate on the third term, the identity and background of a senator was an important marker for where they stood. Legislators from Northern Nigeria, for instance, were more likely than not to be against the bill. Understandably, the proposal faced stiff opposition from many quarters. Party discipline was seriously fractured.
When, the Senate convened on Tuesday, 16 May 2006, suspicions were high and tempers were at breaking point.
The debate had drama, anticipation, even foreboding written all over it. Outside the Senate Chambers, the entire country feasted on every word coming out of the debate. Inside the Senate, the public gallery was full. Among the observers of the debate on the day was a powerful delegation from Lagos, the only state in President Obasanjo's South West that was ruled by the opposition Alliance for Democracy (AD). The AD delegation was led by its National Chairman, Chief Bisi Akande, himself a former state governor, and included two other former state governors, Chief Olusegun Osoba and Chief Niyi Adebayo. President Obasanjo ousted all three in dodgy elections in 2003. Beside them in the gallery were the recently ousted chairman of the PDP, Chief Audu Ogbeh; two former Ministers, Chief Tom Ikimi and Chief Edu; as well as former national vice-Chair of the party in the South West, Chief Shuaib Oyedokun. From the ruling party, the senators admitted two of their former colleagues, Joseph Waku and Musa Adede, into the chambers as observers. The government sent a former senator and President Obasanjo's Minister for Integration in Africa, Lawan Cuba, to watch the proceedings on its behalf. The choice of Cuba, a largely unknown junior minister, to represent the government could have been driven by confidence that the Senate would pass the amendments or a reading of the tea leaves which foretold defeat.
Owan East APC ward 9 flays Iriase's purported expulsion
Presiding was Kenechukwu Nnamani, a senator from Enugu in the South East, who in the previous year emerged as the president of the Senate. Anticipating the conclusion of the debate, Senator Nnamani opened proceedings on this final day with an address to his colleagues, cajoling them to protect what he called "legislative due process." Admitting that the country faced a "crisis of political succession", he appealed to his peers not to "become political entrepreneurs who pander after personal gains, but rather delegates and trustees of the people who will preserve democratic governance." Contributing to the debate, Teslim Folarin, a supporter of the Third Term Agenda representing Oyo Central in South West Nigeria, commended the Senate president "for the transparent nature and resolute commitment" with which he had steered the debates.
This was about the only point on which all sides in the debate agreed. The debate itself was unusually meaty. On the floor, senators canvassed their arguments for and against the bill with zeal, tact and skill. The full range of parliamentary debating and persuasive skills was on display. Senators jousted and contested three major points. First, early in the debate, it became clear that the exact import of the amendment on tenure extension sought was not clear. If the Constitution was in fact amended, how much longer could the president rule? Those in support sought to minimise the effect or change the narrative. Bob Effiong, a senator from Akwa Ibom North, in the Niger Delta, described "the phrase elongation of tenure or extension of tenure" as "completely wrong", explaining that "what is correct is that a new term would be added." In other words, the amendment would only add a third term to the already existing two terms of present incumbents. If this was so, the bill was not clear enough. It lent itself to different meanings. Mamman AH, from Yobe South, countered by enumerating the various guises under which the exercise had been sold, including "elongation, amendment, tenure limit extension, continuity, 'carry-go'", a local slang implying arbitrary plunder, and denounced the project as "dubious".

Drum Lathe TDM-1600
The Kugler Drum Lathe TDM-1600 is a multi-axis system, specially developed for ultra-precision turning of optical microstructures on rollers with the use of diamond tools. The center distance on this model amounts to 1600 mm.
Mono-crystalline diamond tools with defined geometric cutting edges produce smooth optical surfaces or annular and helical groove structures on work pieces made of non-ferrous metal or coated with an electroless nickel.
An optional Fast Tool Servo allows for the turning of uneven structures. The system meets highest demands on roughness and geometrical accuracy (concentricity, diameter variation, cylindricity).
The TDM-1600 is characterized by a solid granite construction, vibration isolation by using a special air damping system, hydrostatic rotary bearings in headstock and tailstock, and aerostatic mounting of the carriage assembly (Z-axis).
The axes Z and Y incorporate high-definition incremental measuring systems and special direct drives for positioning within submicrometer range. This design principle guarantees utmost accuracy in high-precision chip removal.
A wide selection of accessory components complements the system, such as hydrostatic axes for tool rotation, Fast Tool Servo (FTS), tool setting microscopes, and optical sensors for distance and diameter measurement.
Video of Applications
Typical Applications
- High precision machining of rollers
- Manufacturing of annular and helical groove structures
- Manufacturing of embossing masters for films, screens, backlighting

"Noise, vibration and harshness" is a phrase that's used a lot in the car business (it's also the title of Jamie Kitman's column in "Automobile" magazine, by the way.) NVH is something the auto makers would like to leech out of their products. Noise in a car is bad – it batters and tires the driver and it destroys conversation. Vibration means there might be something wrong with the car's underpinnings – even if there isn't, the driver might think there's something wrong, which may be even worse. And harshness is the antithesis of smoothness, the quality we want in a car. Harshness means all those rubber cushioning devices and other smooth-making marvels of engineering are not doing their job.
Now we've just been driving the 2014 Nissan Versa Note SL, a diminutive econobox that occasionally manages to achieve some or all of the N, the V and the H. It's not a great ride, even if it is kind of cute-looking.
For now, we'll call it the Note and say from the outset that it seems as if Nissan, maker of such fine iron as the GT-R and the Maxima, phoned it in when it came to the Note. The SL Note, a five-door hatchback, is an upgraded version of the S and it starts life at $15,990. This is the kind of car you buy if you are young and are just starting out in that sometimes splenetic activity known as buying a new car, dealing with new car sales people, dealing with the dealers. Not a lot of fun. So you read up on the various cars, figuring you want something small, light, easy on gas, reliable and affordable; yet you also want comfort, a sprinkling of mod cons, and a noise level at cruising speed that will allow you to converse with the rest of your mates without shouting.
The problem with the Note, however, is that while it does all the things required of it, it does none of them very well. On the road, it wheezes its way up to cruising speed, its 1.6-liter 109-horsepower engine straining away through a continuously variable transmission. Yes, it will get up on the freeway and cruise at or above the speed limits, but it bounces around and lets you know that it would prefer slower speeds on surface streets. Back on those surface streets, it bounces harshly over speed bumps and other road imperfections that most cars would barely notice.
The SL Note we drove had options that tend to make the Note a car that would like to have standing, would like to be counted as a member of that tribe of all the other modern cars out there. There's $1,700 for the "SL Package," which gives you 16-inch alloy wheels (one inch bigger than the standard steel wheels), fog lights, heated front seats, rear view camera, upgraded stereo; for another $800, our Note's "Technology Package" brought us navigation, "streaming audio via Bluetooth," Pandora radio and heated side mirrors. With a few other odds and ends, the price for the car is $19,545. That's a lot for a car like this.
We think of these cars as being in about the $14,000 range and, indeed, the stripper Note S is in that ballpark. But loading it up so it runs out the door for more than $20,000 (with tax and license) should beg the potential buyer to have a look elsewhere.
The first elsewhere I'd check out in the Note's price range is Ford's nifty Fiesta. I'd also look at the Honda Fit, Kia Rio and Toyota Yaris. An argument can even be made to look at used cars in good condition.
New car dealers need to move those cars they take in on trade-in and the lease returns. The dealers will usually keep the best ones for their own used-car lots (sorry…. pre-owned car lots) and get rid of the rest. If I had a choice between a new Nissan Versa Note – S or SL or S anything – I'd opt, instead, for a used low-mileage Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima/Maxima, or any of a slew of other cars like that.
If you like the small cars, however, try the Fit or the Fiesta. Right off, you should see a difference.

How did you score on the Test Your Germ IQ quiz? Get the answers here:
1. True or false: You should use antibacterial soap to wash your hands — and your toddler's.
False. Despite what manufacturers would have you believe, antibacterials are overkill in most cases (the exception: when you or your baby have a compromised immune system). While hand washing is definitely a good thing (a very good thing: kids and grown-ups who scrub with soap and water can cut their risk of getting infections by half), using antibacterials can actually increase your little one's chances of getting sick. He needs to be exposed to some germs in order to develop a healthy immune system. Plus, overuse of antibacterial products encourages bacteria to mutate and become resistant to antibiotics — and no one wants that!
2. True or false: You need to sterilize bottle nipples and breast-pump parts after every use.
False (thank goodness!). Pediatricians no longer recommend this. While you may need to sterilize bottles and nipples before the first use (follow package directions), after that, the dishwasher (or a separate basin of hot, soapy water) will do a fine job of keeping germs at bay. For pump parts, follow manufacturer's directions. n most cases, regular rinsing, followed by washing in a separate basin of hot, soapy water will be sufficient. You can also limit the spread of bacteria by resisting the temptation to save breast milk or formula from unfinished bottles. Yes, it's painful to pour money (or in the case of breast milk — time!) down the sink, but once the bottle's been in your baby's mouth, that means bacteria's in the bottle and can breed in it — quickly.
3. True or false: Bath toys need their own baths every week.
True. Dirty water, germs, and mold can hide out in tub toys' nooks and crannies. After each bath, rinse playthings and store them in a mesh bag or plastic basket so they can air out. Then give them a weekly wash with a water-and-bleach solution. Rinse well to remove the bleach, then let them dry completely before your child's next bath.
More In This Series
4. True or false: You walk into your baby's room to find that he's undone his diaper and smeared poop everywhere — even near his mouth! It's time to panic.
False. Yes, it's super-gross and won't be fun to clean up (call for reinforcements if you possibly can!). But even if your baby did swallow a little bit of poop, it probably won't hurt him (though the thought is enough to turn your stomach). After all, it's just going back where it came from — inside his body — and his immune system is already used to the bacteria that live there. (Swallowing someone else's fecal matter — or the family pet's poop — is a different story and puts him at risk for being infected by bacteria, such as E. coli, which can lead to severe diarrhea.) Keep an eye on your baby to see if he gets ill, but chances are he won't.
5. True or false: Pee in the bathwater is no big deal.
True. Unless your child has a bladder infection, her urine is sterile, and it's greatly diluted by being in the bathwater anyway. If it icks you out, encourage her to pee before the bath (the sound of running water may help get her bladder going). Now if she poops in the bathwater, that's a bigger deal. Take the baby out of the tub, empty the water, and clean the tub with a disinfectant before you fill it up again and put your baby back in (after you've cleaned her up, of course). Although your baby probably won't get sick from taking a sip of the poopy bathwater (see question #4) before you've had a chance to take her out, you really don't want bacteria from fecal matter sticking around the tub (and on the toys), where they can multiply.
6. True or false: Sheets should be washed once a week.
True. Send them in for a spin with warm or hot water regularly to reduce your family's exposure to germs. Up the washing frequency for babies (who tend to spit up on sheets or have leaky diapers) and for anyone who's been vomiting. If your sheets are white, you can add a little bleach to the load to zap germs.
True, but don't freak out if you realize this too late to act. Rover's saliva probably won't hurt your baby (unless she has allergies), but since dogs groom themselves by licking their legs, lips, and other body parts (i.e., where they pee and poop from), it's better to be safe than sorry and toss the food. Don't give in and give the leftovers to your naughty pup, by the way — that encourages him to come back for more.

Sandra Bullock stars as "Calamity" Jane Bodine, a smart, savvy strategist who is nevertheless reeling from a scandal that gave her the nickname and shook her confidence. She's offered the chance at a comeback by working on the campaign for Bolivian presidential candidate Pedro Gallo (Joaquim de Almeida), who is flagging in the polls, seen as out of touch and elitist. But when Jane arrives in the country, she discovers that her professional nemesis, Pat Candy (Billy Bob Thornton) is coaching the opposition. That, though, just gives her the fire to keep going and try to beat him at last... Which will not be an easy proposition...

See a preview of Missy prepping her much-anticipated return.
Missy Elliott's new song is titled "WTF" and has a music video dropping this quarter.
Missy Elliott received a 1,000% increase in her digital sales after her surprise appearance during the Super Bowl halftime show with Katy Perry, and from there it was game-on. Missy jumped back into the recording studio with Timbaland and Pharrell to record a follow-up record to 2005's The Cookbook(!!!).
She told reporters months ago, "I don't want to say too much, because in this day and time when you say something, they will come back two weeks later like 'Uh, where your album at?'"
On Wednesday night, Missy was spotted filming a music video for her upcoming song "WTF" rumored to drop later this month. The clip we hear in the paparazzi-filmed footage sounds like a banger for sure!
This year, Missy's landed on a Jack U remix for "Take U There," Janet Jackson's "BURNITUP" and quite possibly a song with Jennifer Lopez.
Tbh I didn't realize how much I was missed til last night.I'm crying y'all 4give me I just can't stop thanking God & y'all
— Missy Elliott (@MissyElliott) February 2, 2015
You are Missy. You are.
