American painter whose works frequently combined the vigorous, painterly brushstrokes of Abstract Expressionism with the commercial images of the Pop art movement.
Born in 1923 in the Bronx, New York, as Larry Grossberg. In 1940 he began a musical career as a jazz saxophonist and changed his name to Larry Rivers.
Rivers studied composition at the Juilliard School of Music and was a professional jazz saxophonist.His first encounter with fine art was through a musical motif based on a painting by Georges Braque. He began painting in 1945. From 1947 to 1948 he studied in the New York City and Provincetown, Mass., school of the prominent Abstract Expressionist Hans Hofmann.. In 1948 he studied under William Baziotes at New York University and met Willem de Kooning. In 1949 he had his first one-man exhibition at the Jane Street Gallery, New York.In the 1950s, he became one of the first artists to explore the figurative style which follows abstract expressionism.
In 1951 he graduated in art from New York University and met Jackson Pollock. His early paintings were exhibited in New York City in 1949. Rivers' first major work was "The Burial" (1951), a gri ...(PLease Login to see the complete biography.)

Off Girifushi Island, Maldives
Maldivian Minister of Fisheries and Agriculture Ibrahim Didi signs a document calling on all countries to cut their carbon dioxide emissions before a major United Nations climate change conference in December in Copenhagen. Government ministers in scuba gear held an underwater meeting of the Maldives' Cabinet off the island of Girifushi to highlight the threat global warming poses to the lowest-lying nation on earth. Maldivian President Mohammed Nasheed led the meeting around a table on the sea floor, 20 feet below the surface, with ministers communicating using white boards and hand signals.

Carnival Cruise Lines has launched a new national advertising campaign that features past guests' experiences as they recorded them on Carnival cruises. The Moments That Matter campaign includes thousands of real vacation photos and videos collected through social media.
Chief marketing officer Jim Berra said the unusual timing and type of campaign is part of the overall recovery plan to rebuild the brand after the publicity surrounding Carnival Triumph's operational problems earlier this year. The campaign accompanies Carnival's $300 million investment in fleet operations, the Great Vacation Guarantee and Carnival Conversations with agents.
"One cruise out of 1,500 is one too many, but we are doing the right things and we are learning from our setbacks," said Berra.
When Carnival put out the call for treasured moments onboard, past guests submitted more than 30,000 pieces of content ranging from the pleasures of lounging poolside to marriage proposals.
"The best voice for our brand is the guests," Berra stated. "We were overwhelmed by the amount and quality of the material."
More than $25 million in total will be invested across broadcast, radio, digital and direct mail between September and December. In addition, 30- and 60-second spots — both with an agent call-out at the end — will air on major primetime network shows including "How I Met Your Mother," "Parks and Recreation," "The Big Bang Theory" and "The Voice." They will also air on leading cable networks including Bravo, TNT, TLC, ABC Family, TBS and Food Network, plus online on Yahoo! and YouTube. The campaign began on Sept. 23, and will run until Thanksgiving, then break until after Christmas and run again through the Wave period.

CLEVELAND (AP) - Cosimo Matassa, owner of J&M Recording Studios in the French Quarter, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Saturday in Cleveland.
Matassa recorded music with many popular musicians including Fats Domino, Dave Bartholomew, Little Richard and Lloyd Price.
Smiley Lewis, Professor Longhair, Roy Brown and countless others also created magic at Matassa's studio.
Matassa opened the J&M Record Shop in 1945 and since there were no other recording studios in New Orleans at the time, his studio became a popular gathering place for musicians.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, a musical celebration that in past years has included awkward moments, touching tributes and unforgettable performances, kicked off Saturday night in historic Public Hall where 6,000 fans, 1,400 well-heeled guests and many of music's biggest stars were set to party with the class of 2012.
Hard rockers Guns N' Roses headlined this year's eclectic group of inductees. Others are the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Beastie Boys, folk icon Donovan, late singer-songwriter Laura Nyro and British bands the Small Faces and Faces.
Rose, the Guns N' Roses lead singer with an affinity for drama, is skipping the event.
Cleveland rocked without him. Green Day got the show started with a rousing performance.
Rose, the screeching frontman and ringmaster of the G N' R traveling circus of dysfunction for decades, said earlier this week that he didn't want to be part of the ceremony because it "doesn't appear to be somewhere I'm actually wanted or respected."
Rose cited a continuing rift with his former band mates as the main reason for not attending. His decision disappointed fans and ended months of speculation about whether the original Guns N' Roses lineup would unite for the first time since 1993 and perform any of their classic hits like "Welcome to the Jungle" or "Sweet Child O' Mine."
Although he asked not to be inducted, the hall plans to enshrine him with whether Rose likes it or not.
As the ceremony approached, fans gathered on the sidewalks outside the historic venue, which hosted the Beatles in 1964, for a peek at some of rock's royalty.
Alice Cooper was the fan favorite on the red carpet, signing autographs, telling printable stories and waving in response to cheers of "Alice, Alice!"
"New York is glitz, Cleveland is the nuts and bolts," said Cooper, comparing the cities that share the rock hall induction ceremonies, which are held at New York's Waldorf-Astoria and come to Cleveland every third year.
"I'm from the Midwest. Cleveland feels normal to me," said Cooper, dressed in a decidedly Hollywood-style black no-lapel tuxedo with a flowered shirt.
Cooper, standing under a canvass canopy protecting against threatening skies, marveled at the scene and said he was glad to be around.
"It's our version of the Academy awards," he said. "If you can stay alive to 27 - that seems to be the expiration date for rock stars."
Funk icon George Clinton made a splashy entrance, arriving in a silver bullet-shaped vehicle familiar to amusement park thrill riders. Wearing a gray herringbone coat and black fedora, he stood and waved from the back seat.
Darlene Love, who will perform "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" for deceased inductee Don Kirshner, showed some love to her Rust Belt fans when she arrived. "They show their appreciation," said Love, glamorous in a one-shoulder red dress, black wrap and red clutch purse.
"Good to see you," she cooed.
Rose isn't the only lead singer missing.
Rod Stewart, who was to be inducted and perform with Faces, came down with the flu this week.
"I'm absolutely devastated," Stewart said in a statement. "Shattered that I'm going to miss my second induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame - and this time alongside my mates."
Faces will be joined for a short set of songs by Simply Red's lead singer Mick Hucknall, a friend of the band who has played with them before and will take Stewart's spot.
Like Guns N' Roses, the Red Hot Chili Peppers emerged from Los Angeles during the 1980s when Sunset Strip's rock scene was dominated by "hair" bands more concerned with their tight lycra pants and eyeliner than their sound. Not the Chili Peppers, who found their unique groove by blending funky hooks and a punk ethos.
While their lineup has undergone some changes - founding guitarist Hillel Slovak died of a heroin overdose in 1988 - lead singer Anthony Kiedis and bassist Flea have survived personal highs and lows and the band remains one of music's top live acts.
Three white middle-class smart alecks from New York, the Beastie Boys were initially dismissed as beer-swilling frat boys following their 1986 debut album "License To Ill," which featured songs like "(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party!)" and "Girls." But their follow-up, "Paul's Boutique," was acclaimed by critics and brought the Beasties credibility in the black hip-hop community.
John Mellencamp will induct Donovan, who had a string of hits in the `60s with "Sunshine Superman," `'Hurdy Gurdy Man" and "Mellow Yellow." The pair is expected to perform together.
The influential Nyro, who died in 1997, will be in inducted by her son, Gil Bianchini. Smokey Robinson will induct long-deserving backup bands for early rock artists. The group includes Buddy Holly's The Crickets, James Brown's The Famous Flames, Bill Hailey's The Comets and Robinson's The Miracles.
Blues artist Freddie King is being inducted as an early influence. Carole King will induct Kirshner, who launched Prince and the Eagles. New Orleans engineer Cosimo Matassa, engineer-producer Tom Dowd and engineer-producer Glyn Johns will also be enshrined.

Microsoft puts in Stirling work for unified security Nirvana
Also: Visual Studio and SQL Server updates
Microsoft is prepping a security software suite that will take it deep into Symantec and McAfee heartland. They won't be quaking in their boots just yet: the suite, called Stirling, hits the streets in 2009, at the earliest.
Stirling integrates Microsoft's anti-virus, anti-spam and content filtering software, Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server, Forefront Client Security and network access control tools while working with the Microsoft Network Access Protection (NAP) policy, Microsoft said today.
Integration will let the various, Microsoft-developed and acquired software products share data and simplify creation and enforcement of security policy, it said. Announcing Stirling today, Microsoft launched a second Forefront Server Security Management Console beta, featuring web-based management.
Stirling is due to preview this year with a beta coming in 2008. So there's plenty of time for delays in this merged-products roadmap. Previous efforts to unite MS-Dynamics applications on a single code base and interface under Project Green saw delays and reversals, while plans to merge Systems Management Server (SMS) with Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) were cancelled with SMS now due as System Center Configuration Manager 2007 and currently in a second beta.
Microsoft today also set out the latest phase in its plan to secure Windows while trotting out final names for new versions of its next Visual Studio and SQL Server products.
Microsoft's Windows roadmap will see an eighth so-called Core Installation added to the upcoming Windows Server 2008, recently renamed from Longhorn Server. The Core Installation effectively reverse engineers Windows for deployment as an appliance, to winkle out open source and Linux offerings based on architecture and cost, while also locking down security.
This latest Core Installation will see Internet Security Systems (ISS) stripped of its GUI, many libraries and primed for remote administration via the command line, taking IIS closer to Apache's web server in terms of ease of provisioning and deployment.
The move, announced at Microsoft's TechEd conference in Orlando, Florida, potentially boosts security of Windows-based server installations. Web-serving IIS servers can be now run on dedicated machines, separating them from business-critical Windows servers, thereby reducing the potential for damaging attacks through standard routes such as buffer overflow or holes in Internet Explorer.
It was business as usual, meanwhile, on names for the up-coming editions of Visual Studio, codenamed Orcas, and the Katmai edition of SLQ Server. Orcas will now be Visual Studio 2008, with a second beta due this summer, while Katmai becomes SQL Server 2008. The first taste of SQL Server 2008 code was also made available this week under a Community Technology Preview (CTP).®

The tinners were very busy, but there were only two in one shop. Here, in this smithy, four man were working flat-out, in a well-orchestrated routine. One would mainly be at the fire, serving two of the others with red-hot iron, that would be bent, beaten - often by one worker, but sometimes with help from one or more of the others. The man who probably was the owner had some jobs of his own, but would from time to time join the others in their work. Amazing, all this activity in this small space.

For the month of June, I let the rainfall deter me from doing much grilling, but when July 4th rolled around, I decided to laugh in the face of Mother Nature. I was going to cook up some summer lovin' regardless of her fury.
I just had to do it inside... so maybe she still won to a point, but I won too, because I threw a few simple ingredients into the crockpot, let them slow simmer all day long, and had myself some sloppy, saucy, sassy Country Style Ribs.
And they were goooooood.
Easy Slow Cooker Country-Style Ribs
4-5 lbs. country style pork ribs
2 (18-oz) bottles KRAFT Barbecue Sauce of your choice (I used one each of Char-Grill and Hickory Smoke.)
½ small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp. red pepper flakes
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tbsp. vinegar (red wine or white)
These slow-cooked ribs couldn't be easier to prepare.
PLACE them into the crockpot, and throw everything but the vinegar on top. Add a tablespoon of vinegar to each of the empty barbecue sauce bottles, shake them up and then pour the last bits of saucy goodness over the top.
COOK on low for 6-8 hours or until ribs reach that tender 'fall off the bone' stage. Serve 'em up and enjoy!

Spofford fire guts family homeBy MEGHAN PIERCE
Union Leader Correspondent
July 30. 2013 12:39PM
SPOFFORD - A Rosewood Lane home was gutted by a fire early Tuesday morning, displacing a family of three.
Firefighters responded to 54 Rosewood Lane at 4:09 a.m., for a report of smoke from the basement, Fire Chief Gordon Rudolph said.
"Upon arrival, heavy smoke and fire was coming from the basement and started coming through the floor into the first story.
Then flames went up a wall and into the attic," he said.
Keene firefighters were the first on the scene and knocked back the flames, containing the blaze to the fully involved basement.
"There was a pretty good-size fire in the attic, but we were able to reach that before it reached the roof," Rudolph said.
More than 50 firefighters from 13 area fire departments battled the blaze for four hours, he said. "It took a full four hours to put the fire out."
Five of the 13 departments were dedicated to transporting water to the scene of the fire since the nearest water source was about a mile away.
The manpower was needed, but not necessarily all of the equipment, Rudolph said. Because the house is located on a one-lane dirt road, the multiple fire engines at the scene had to be parked in other driveways to keep the road clear for water tankers coming and going.
"We made a lot of people late for work this morning with a fire truck in their driveway," Rudolph said.
Rudolph said the house was gutted by the fire. "Structurally the house is fine, but the contents of the house are gone," he said.
Firefighters also had to tear down parts of the walls and ceiling to reach the fire as well, he said.
A couple and their 10-year-old son live in the home. The Red Cross was contacted and able to put the family up, but the family decided to stay with a neighbor instead, Rudolph said.
Right now the basement fire is suspected to be electrical.
Rudolph said he doesn't suspect anything suspicious, but he has called in the State Fire Marshal's office to investigate because of the extent of the fire.

New: Dog Walkers Urged to Stay Safe On Shore if Dogs Are Swept Out--Dogs Will Survive
The U.S. Coast Guard, National Park Service and East Bay Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals teamed up today to remind people that while dogs almost always survive being swept out to sea, their owners usually don't.
The message at East Bay SPCA headquarters in Oakland today came less than a week after Northern California saw another fatality involving a person at the beach with their dog.
In that incident, a woman was walking along a beach at Shelter Cove in Humboldt County with her dog and boyfriend when a powerful wave dragged her into the ocean.
The woman was knocked down by what is known as a "sneaker wave," or a large, powerful wave that catches people off-guard when they're not paying attention, U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer Pamela Boehland said today.
That incident was the fourth fatality since November involving people at Northern California beaches with their dogs, Boehland said.
While winter is always a dangerous time for sneaker waves at California beaches, Coast Guard officials said this year has been especially deadly.
The Saturday after Thanksgiving, three family members perished on a beach near Arcata, Calif. after a mother and father attempted to save their teenage son who was swept out to sea when he swam out to rescue the family's dog.
And on New Year's Day, 59-year-old Richmond man Charles Quaid drowned after heading into the surf in Bodega Bay to save his wife and their dog, who had been knocked to the ground by a large wave.
Bystanders rescued the woman and the dog but were unable to reach Quaid, who had been pulled under the water by 10- to 12-foot waves.
Coast Guard, SPCA and National Park Service officials said today that such tragic scenarios tend to unfold whenever an untrained person attempts an ocean rescue.
"So many people don't make it back, but their dogs survive," East Bay SPCA Director Allison Lindquist said.
That's because dogs are built to float in water, so that they go with the flow of the water until they are rescued, she said.
Humans, on the other hand, tend to get pulled down by the waves and start to panic and exhaust themselves before help can arrive.
Instead, anyone who is pulled out to sea is advised to swim parallel to the waves to return to shore or to tread water, remain calm and yell out to someone on the shore for help.
For those on shore, the best thing to do after either a person or dog is pulled out by ocean waves is to call 911, National Park Services spokeswoman Alexandra Picavet said.
"We love our dogs and will do anything to save them, but we must guard against the instinct to jump into the surf," Lindquist said.
Rather than getting into the water, owners can follow their dog along the shoreline and call to them, which may help orient the dog toward shore, while waiting for help, according to Lindquist.
And since dogs that are swept out to sea tend to be rescued far from their owners, it's essential to equip the animals with a microchip and ID tags.
More importantly, officials said today, pet owners should try to prevent their dogs from getting taken out by a wave by keeping an eye on their animals while at the beach.
If the waves seem especially large or if a dog is smaller or older than average, owners should take extra caution to keep them away from the water. Unfortunately, "rogue waves" or "sneaker waves" often live up to their names by overtaking people and dogs even when beach conditions do not seem to warrant extra caution, Coast Guard officers said.
"Rogue waves do exist, they happen all the time," U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer Gabe Pulliam said.
"Respect the ocean, never turn your back on it."

Though Apple likes to trot out stats about its ballooning app store every month or so, BlackBerry App World has its own growing library of third-party apps, and it's not clogged up with quite as many fart machines and virtual lighters, either. We dug out a bunch of our personal favorites across five different categories to highlight the very best BlackBerry developers have to offer.
This list has been updated since its original publication to reflect new releases and software updates. Also, make sure to check out our list of the best BlackBerry phones, as picked by our expert reviewers.
Video & Music
Evernote (Free)
Replace your butt-worn spiral notebook with this 21st century version, which allows you to capture the same brainstorms, thoughts and musings in a much more organized manner. Besides text, you can also file away photos (like snaps of whiteboard) and audio (like a spur-of-the-moment interview) from either your desktop or your phone, then effortlessly search through them later.
WorldMate Live (Free)
When you're stranded in Laramie, Wyoming, on a rainy Monday night without a place to stay, sitting in a parking lot with a broken car that won't be fixed until Monday, you'll be thankful you downloaded WorldMate Live. Within seconds, you can thumb through a list of hotel rooms sorted by distance from your location, with prices for each room and even a page for booking one. And that's just scratching the surface of what it can do. You can also use it to track flights, sort itineraries, convert currency, look at maps, and check the weather where you're headed. Download it before you leave home (and pray for cell signal in Laramie).
amAze (Free)
TeleNav GPS Navigator has long been the de facto standard for turn-by-turn navigation on BlackBerry devices, but at $10 a month, it's a lot pricier to keep around than a dog-eared atlas in the back seat. For those who just need the occasional prod in the right direction, amAze offers completely free turn-by-turn navigation with advanced features like local search, built-in weather, and even a library of speed traps to steer you clear of Johnny Law.
YouMail Visual Voicemail Plus (Free)
Jealous of the visual voicemail features on the iPhone? YouMail Visual Voicemail Plus provides the same ease of browsing and playback, along with even more powerful features like the ability to listen to your voicemails from any Internet-connected computer. Although it works by replacing your carrier's default voicemail service, it works with all major U.S. carriers including AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon and more – and there's no fee for usage.
Blurts Pro ($5.99)
While collar folk don't often like to admit it, but let's face it: 90 percent of the day, you don't really need a smartphone because you're already planted in front of a computer. Blurt Pro takes advantage of that fact by connecting your PC to your computer via Bluetooth whenever you're in range, allowing you to see read and respond to SMS messages, place and answer calls, and even display call ID, all from your computer. It beats pulling your phone out of your pocket every time, and a real keyboard sure can come in handy for sending text messages in a hurry.

KANO, Nigeria (AP) — Cutoff pants displaying a bulging calf? Sleeveless T-shirts showing off a well-muscled physique? Forget it in Nigeria's northern Kano state, where Islamic police are deploying thousands of officers to arrest anyone sporting the "indecent dress" that's fashionable among young men driving motorized rickshaw taxis.
Police also have orders to arrest any cabbie carrying men and women together in the confined space of the three-wheeled taxis.
"The way and manner some of the commercial tricycle operators engage in indecent dressing and carry men and women together is disturbing," said Yusuf Yola, spokesman for the Hisbah board that is responsible for ensuring compliance with Shariah laws in Kano.
He said such dress, with pants cut off just below the knee like Bermuda shorts, also was "un-Hausa," referring to the biggest tribe in Nigeria's north.
Usually it's women who are the target of the Islamic police checking that they have properly covered their heads and limbs.
Yola told The Associated Press on Monday that 10,000 officers will be deployed to ensure the laws are enforced, including "a law in the state which prohibits gender mix in commercial vehicles."
He said officers have orders to stop and search to make sure everyone obeys — including Christians.
Nine of Nigeria's 37 states have introduced Shariah law since 2000 as some Muslims have become more fundamentalist. But the law is interpreted differently and enforced more rigidly in some states. Three other states introduced Shariah law, but only for Muslims who want to use it as an alternative to Western-style family law.
The rest of Nigeria is under secular law. Africa's most populous nation of more than 160 million people is almost equally divided between Muslims and Christians.
In Kano on Monday, taxi driver Jamilu mai Babur, a Muslim, was rebellious: "I will not comply with this useless order because Shariah is not about violating human rights."
Jamilu Hisba, another Muslim driver, agreed but said he would have to obey. "It's against Islam, this forceful order, but they have power over us so I must comply because this is my means of survival."

Police, community and calendar briefs for April 3, 2013.
Woman suspected in refrigerator fraud
Ocala police have released photos of a woman suspected of fraudulently obtaining money from a department store.
Detectives said a woman contacted police saying she had purchased appliances from Lowes at 4600 E. Silver Springs Blvd., which were delivered to her home in late March. She received all the items except a refrigerator, valued at $2,097.84, and when she called the store to inquire about the missing item, employees said she had been issued a refund for it.
A loss prevention officer told police that a different woman had come into the store two days before the goods were delivered to the victim and initiated a refund transaction for the refrigerator. She used the victim's name and a Georgia driver's license to complete the transaction. She was given two store credit cards, one for $2,000 and one for $97.84.
Authorities are asking anyone who knows the woman in the photographs to call Detective Jamie Buchbinder at 369-7141, the Crime Line at 369-7061 or Crime Stoppers at 368-STOP, visit www.ocalacrimestoppers.com or text "ocalapd" and a tip to TIP411.
Home invader used stun gun on teen
Police are looking to identify the man who kicked in the front door of a home and hit a teenager with an electronic stunning device.
Officers went to the 1800 block of Northeast Fifth Place at 12:45 a.m. March 27 and met the victim and the homeowners.
The 13-year-old boy said he was asleep on the couch when he heard several loud bangs. He said he got up and walked toward the front door but saw that it had been kicked in and an intruder wearing all black clothing was running toward him. He said the man placed an electronic device in the middle of his abdomen and fired it. He said he was stunned and fell to the ground.
The suspect fled on foot, empty handed, officials said.
Authorities later determined the boy had been hit with a Taser.
Police described the suspect as a man, 5 feet 11 inches tall with a muscular build. He was wearing all black and had a black ski mask covering his face.
Anyone with any information can call Detective Mat Steckman at 369-7147, the Crime Line at 369-7061 or Crime Stoppers at 368-STOP, visit www.ocalacrimestoppers.com or text "ocalapd" and a tip to TIP411.
Three men allegedly beat, choke man
Sheriff's deputies are looking for three people who allegedly beat, choked and robbed a man early Tuesday.
A man told deputies he was talking with three other men at a northeast Ocala residence when one of the men wrapped a chain around his neck and pulled him to the ground. He said someone hit him in the head with a metal pipe and someone searched his pockets.
After taking several items, including cash, the men fled in a brown or tan Nissan.
The injured man was treated by paramedics.
The incident was reported at roughly 1:45 a.m.
Anyone with information can call the Marion County Sheriff's Office at 732-9111 or Crime Stoppers at 368-STOP, or visit www.ocalacrimestoppers.com.
Woman accused of domestic battery
DUNNELLON — A woman accused of choking another woman was arrested Tuesday morning and charged with domestic battery by strangulation.
At 3:10 a.m., Deputy Patrick Doddy responded to a residence and saw that a Dunnellon Police Department officer had detained the suspect, Krystal Knirsch, 34, on the ground.
A witness told the deputy that Knirsch and her live-in girlfriend had been drinking at his home and had an argument. The man said he made Knirsch leave so she would calm down. He said Knirsch then broke the rear glass door, came back inside the house and choked the other woman, forcing her to her knees. He said he pulled Knirsch off the woman, slammed her into the refrigerator, pulled her outside and detained her until police arrived, according to Sheriff's Office reports.
The victim told the deputy a similar story. Knirsch was arrested and taken to the Marion County Jail.
Man arrested after high-speed pursuit
A man wanted on several charges was arrested late Monday after Marion and Lake County officials became involved in a high-speed pursuit that ended when the man's vehicle flipped several times after hitting stop sticks.
Shortly after 11 p.m. Monday, Marion County Sheriff's Deputy Adam Rendall was alerted to a bulletin issued by the Leesburg Police Department about a driver, David Odel Housmer, 35, of Georgia, attempting to hit an LPD officer with a vehicle. The department also had probable cause to arrest Housmer for several offences, including battery on a law enforcement officer and driving on a license that was suspended or revoked.
Rendall saw Housmer's red Ford Bronco speeding in the 12200 block of County Road 25 and gave chase. The chase also was joined by another patrol deputy. As the chase headed south, the Lake County Sheriff's Office was notified and its deputies set up stop sticks.
As the Bronco crossed into Lake County it went over the stop sticks, and Housmer lost control. The vehicle rolled several times before landing on its roof at the side of the road. Housmer and a female passenger were removed from the vehicle. They both complained of minor pains. Housmer was arrested by the Lake County authorities.

Sleep Disorders
I`ve been sleeping 12 hours a day now! Its been happening for about 2 weeks. I`ve put several alarms on and I dont even realize that they`re going off sometimes. I dont know if its my low iron levels that are causing this.
It appears that the problem of prolonged sleep has been present for just two weeks. There are many potential causes for your complaints and determining the exact cause will require additional history and a physical examination, as well as possible testing. However, keeping the limitations of the information you provided in mind, I will try and go through the possible explanations for your excessive sleep.
You are correlating your symptoms with low iron levels (iron deficiency). I assume that you have a diagnosis of iron deficiency, that this is relatively new, and that the symptoms and the discovery of the low iron levels started about the same time. You don't mention the cause of the iron deficiency or whether you have other medical conditions. This would be important to know. If the development of iron deficiency occurs in a relatively short time period (days to weeks), and the body does not have enough time to adapt to the problem, severe fatigue may occur. While many individuals with iron deficiency have severely reduced energy and do not report sleepiness; others have sleepiness associated with iron deficiency. As such, it is possible that the relatively new iron deficiency can be the cause of your sleepiness. However, in the overall list of causes of excessive sleepiness, iron deficiency is not one of the more common causes.
It is more likely that you may have a primary sleep problem causing your sleepiness. The most likely explanation for oversleeping is increased sleep drive. Increased sleep drive can be due to chronic or short-term sleep deprivation. This is not the case with you, as you have been oversleeping for two weeks. This is enough time to normally take care of previous sleep deprivation or restriction. It is also possible that the oversleeping is due to non-refreshing sleep. That is, no matter how long you sleep, you are not refreshed because the quality of your sleep is poor due to a sleep disorder. Some common sleep disorders associated with unrefreshing sleep include obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and a disorder called periodic limb movement of sleep (PLMS). This second disorder: PLMS is particularly relevant to your problem since it is aggravated in patients with iron deficiency. This disorder is characterized leg jerks during sleep that result in multiple arousals from sleep. Patients usually do not have any recollection of this, and the disorder is often diagnosed only on a sleep study. Another sleep-related condition that is aggravated by iron deficiency, and can worsen sleepiness, is restless legs syndrome (RLS). This condition is associated with an urge to move the legs while awake and can result in trouble falling asleep at night. Another important sleep condition that causes of sleepiness with oversleeping is "idiopathic hypersomnia." This disorder occurs over much longer period than two weeks; often is present for few years at the time of diagnosis. Narcolepsy is another condition that causes severe sleepiness and can be ruled out quickly in your case with a few questions.
Other nonsleep-related problems and conditions can result in excessive sleepiness. Depression, medication side effects and infections all can cause excessive sleepiness. Several disorders can cause excessive daytime sleepiness, though these are usually associated with normal night-time sleep duration. These include heart failure, inflammatory disorders, and hormonal imbalance such as hypothyroidism (low levels of the thyroid hormone).
If your sleepiness persists for 4-5 weeks, it would be imperative to seek evaluation from a Sleep Specialist. In the meantime, please carefully review your sleep arrangement and make sure that you are not experiencing disruption from your bed partner or pets. Make note of awakenings at night, and ask your bed partner whether you snore or not. The Sleep Medicine Specialist will need this information in addition to obtaining further medical history and performing a physical examination in order to determine if there may be a sleep disorder present. It's possible you may need to undergo a sleep study to establish a diagnosis.

As I mentioned in the uncageable Bonkers thread, Bonkers has multiple breeds.
Currently I have a P/P and an S/S.
The only ability he has which benefits from speed is Dodge.
So I'm leaning toward keeping the P/P.
But I thought I'd ask for some advice first.

@Jina: Thanks for the reminder that work isn't simply about putting food on the table and a roof over the head.
@Andrew Crookston: It's apparent you don't understand the music industry at all. You think it takes "3 days" to write, learn, record, and market a song? You think that musicians are "filthy stinking rich"??? You think that the record companies are honest about sales figures and pay the proper amount of royalties? You think that recording contracts are to the advantage of musicians and not the record companies? There are a HANDFUL of musicians who are "filthy stinking rich", just like there are a HANDFUL of stinking rich fiction writers (Stephen King and JK Rowling, for example. The rest need "day jobs").
Do layout artists get royalties on brochures, newsletters, and publications? Do logo designers get royalties on each time their logo shows up? Do programmers get royalties? (they don't – they are under a "work for hire" clause, just like engineers – who don't see a penny from any patents developed while working for a company, either)
Fine artists and illustrators can get royalties, or repeatedly sell the same image multiple times, depending on the rights they allow to go with a sale. But, again, how many fine artists are stinking rich in their lifetimes?
You, if you are a freelancer, are perfectly within your rights to keep ownership of your intellectual property, but just like music nowadays, someone clever can read your code and "download it" and use it themselves, without paying you one cent. Just like people are doing with music these days. You have to trust that there are enough people out there who like what you do and are honest enough to pay you for your work. Just like musicians.
And, might the developers of the web standards not turn around and claim you are creating "derivative works" from their material and demand royalties from you and everyone who views web pages created with HTML or CSS or JavaScript or Java or whatever?

Born Jan 24 1915, Aberdeen Washington, USA. Died July 16 1991.
American painter, Motherwell strongly believed that meaning is conveyed through gesture and structure, in the bold black marks and red slashes.
As an innovator of Abstract Expressionism, Motherwell played a major role in the history of modern American painting. He was the youngest and most prolific of the group of artists based in New York, where he continued to create new works until his death in 1991 at age 76.
His early training was in art history and aesthetics.Motherwell was a philosophy graduate of Stanford and Harvard, but showed early interest in art. His studies led him to Europe in the late 1930's where he obtained new insights into modern art. After his return to New York in 1940, Motherwell studied under the art historian Meyer Shapiro at Columbia University, and began experimenting with abstract gestures. He decided to devote himself completely to painting, a decision which held little promise for anything but hard work and probable discouragement. Yet, a few short years later, he was to find himself one of the leading figures in the best known American art movement, Abstract ...(PLease Login to see the complete biography.)

2013 and earlier Nissan Maxima Prices Paid and Buying Experience
smiley10 Posts: 24Do you mind sharing dealership name and state. Thanks0
johnj56 Posts: 46Suggesting deals listed also carry dealership name. Seems every good deal is replied to with, "would you name dealer?"0
paisan7 Posts: 1I just bought a 2012 SV with Sports Package and Tech package for $31000.
The dealer in Clearwater/Tampa, Florida, was giving discounts of at least $9000 on all SVs with either premium or sports packages.0
After purchasing this vehicle, found after the 2 hour ride back home that it killed my back and I shrugged that off as perhaps the late hour (it was nearly midnight when we got home from the dealership in Bradenton, FL) we were then until 10:00 pm doing paper work. We did not get the clean up and detail job (dealer prep $585.00) but it was charged to us and we were told we could bring the car back (2hr drive) to get that. We traded our (paid for) 2011 GMC Acadia plus nearly $5000.00 cash for the Maxima (remember $585.00 was dealer prep and under $500.00 for taxes, title and paper fees) that I get... we also had them agree to putting in a $700.00 back up rear view mirror and window tint (but would have to go back for that) My husband and I let them know that I could not ride or drive the car (I know, not their problem) because of the severe back pain from riding so low. I had no idea until we rode home in the car and tried to ride in it again but was laid up for 2 days in such pain. So I contacted them and ask could we trade back (they still have the Acadia. The nice sales woman said she would check (don't know why we could not unless they are trying to cover something they did wrong...) So today the sales manager calls and hints to the fact he does not want to do that.. and if he did, he hinted that we would have to pay out more money????? WHAT? I gave them $5000.00 cash on top of our vehicle and we have not put hardly any miles on the Maxima. The contract to me, is void... we did not get what they charged us for (dealer prep or the rear view back up mirror, or window tint) Now they say they will send a $700.00 check for those things.... I am pretty good at Math... $585.00 (dealer prep) plus $700.00 (back up camera mirror) and window tint $250.00 does not equal $700.00. I just want our old vehicle back that is an suv and does not hurt my back and some of our money back (not all of it) but they are in breach of contract because they did not hold up their end.... we did not receive what was agreed on... I am hoping that Firkins Nissan will do the right thing. Give me my Acadia back and take this pain in my back....0
Sorry about your back issues, and the seeming crooked way the dealership handled things. I have no idea what your arcadia is worth, but a really rough figure in my head, considering you had to give them 5K was they gave you 25K or there abouts for your Arcadia. Making the Nissan (one year old, dont know how many miles) about 30K really roughly. Retail is probably or was 40K
One year later it fetched 30K from you, teh incidentals (and I realize the 700, plus 300, plus 585? is not trivial, its outside the sale of the car so to speak so I didnt take any of that into account when I tried to calculate your cost. Looking at that now I see 1500 plus additional. I am not aware of the laws in Florida, but in my state, (MA.) there is a period where you can return a new vehicle, (used might be different and Florida law I am sure is different. I would find an Attorney and have them write up a letter with your requests, the reasons and the additional moneys you are out. A little pressure from an Attorney will get you what you need here and the cost for a letter such as this is rarely over 100 dollars. They will change thier tune, (and still try to get the most from you) but you may be protected by a similar law as we have in MA.
As an example, I bought a used vehicle in 1981 a VW rabbit and I found after two weeks that it consumed a quart of oil a week. When I tried to return it, I had issues, found a lawyer and for $35.00 got a letter sent out. The dealer offered me list for list or retail for retail. so I chose to go retail for retail, bought a new Toyota for list price to get back the full amount. Different situation, not a perfect solution but the letter made all the difference. They made thier money., but I was not robbed as I would have been without it. (turns out the owners manual of the rabbit indicated that the car (gasoline version) would consume a quart of oil every 300 miles. Normal for this vehicle. I dont think the dealer even was aware of this as they werent a VW dealer.
I would also get the car to the lot and leave it there. Do not drive it any further. Call the Manager (dealer manager, first try to reason with him, bypass your salesmen. If that does not work, get the letter, call the manager, again and tell them your dropping it off, and be prepared to find a ride home. The longer it sits in your possesion, the harder it will be to get your old vehicle back. Check this out with an Attorney first, to see if he has any strategy, but he will know the laws in your state. Good luck to you. Act quickly.
As for the comfort of your Maxima. I am 6'2" and the seat is very adjustable. I am somewhat surprised you have issues with comfort in that car. Its the SV version, does it have NAV and tech package? I was making the assumption it was and based my pricing on that information. Would also expect it was a new 2011 with under 5000 miles on it or thererabouts.0
Yes, Simmer. I am going to consult an attorney as our 2011 Acadia had 25,688 miles on it and the 2011 Nissan Maxima 3.5 SV had 6499 miles on it. A beautiful car that is true. But it caused me serious back pain (aggravated an old back injury that had not bothered me in many years) Had we test driven the vehicle I may have found this out before the purchase but it was late (we did not get out the dealership until 10:00 pm and no one was there except the sales manager (who left before the sales woman and an office clerk) oh, and the janitor... so no test drive. We did not get the dealer prep and all of the stuff that was part of our agreement in the contract to purchase. Once I realized (and it was quickly) that the car caused severe back pain I contacted them to tell them.. They wanted to put us in a Hyundai (a $16,000.00 vehicle) even less than we started because the price of the Maxima was $27,000.00 and change. with our trade and $5000.00 dollars... now they are trying to further rip us off and will not hear of a trade back for our vehicle (which they still have) unless we give them the Maxima back (that they themselves valued greater than our Acadia) plus MORE money... Now how the heck did that happen? All of a sudden in just a few days our Acadia surpassed the value of the Maxima thousands of dollars. Remember the Maxima is just sitting not being driven. I am so disgusted. But I used to work for an attorney and know that they have breeched the contract and agreement and charged us for services we did not receive (a fraud) and they have either committed a fraud in the beginning by over valuing their Maxima or now by undervaluing the Maxima and upping the value of our Acadia to get more money out of us. I am a writer and have been published in 3 different books as to date and am quite sure any and several newspapers would print a story for me about the deceitful business practices we have encountered. I know my way around the media and know of several attorneys who are willing to help to resolve this problem. Not to mention I have a product that I cannot use and they have not even fulfilled their end of the contract and that time has passed for them to do so and are ignoring the resolve I asked for. Trade back and they keep some of the money but give some back (I feel half is more than fair, otherwise it could cost them more in the long run for all the run around. Thank you for your support and information! It is good to know that there are people out there who offer support.0
Here is an update as of today. Dean (the sales manager) at Firkins Nissan in Bradenton, FL contacted my husband today and told him that we could trade the Nissan Maxima back for our GMC Acadia if we give him an additional $2000.00! This is after he valued his Nissan Maxima at $27000.00 just days ago and our GMC Acadia at around $23,000.00 and we had to give nearly $5000.00 dollars difference now this CROOK wants $2000.00 more to go back to where we started???? Bernie Madoff was an angel compared to Firkins Nissan! That is nearly $7000.00 they are trying to scam us out of, holy cow. I am beyond angry. I contacted our attorney and have also made contact with our local news who does "Call for Action" against business such as these. And this is about to get ugly and very public. I have been robbed and the thief is trying to do it again. And also, this treasure of a man, has only been there for two weeks.... now if the bosses are backing this crime (because that is exactly what it it) I have written values from 3 different auto dealerships of the Nissan Maxima (remember has been sitting and not driven) for $20,000.00 now are they all lying or was Dean with FIRKINS NISSAN at Bradenton, FL? Days after he valued his Maxima at $27,000.00 :mad:
Breech of contract, Fraud and deceptive business practices are all over this transaction. Dean tried to tell my husband today that he did not value the Maxima at $27000.00 but like $23,000.00 LIAR! I have that right in front of me in the paperwork... Dean, you must learn to remember your lies.... I will not allow these people to walk all over us and take advantage of us. They give other dealerships a very bad name. If this is the sales manager's fault alone then the dealership should make it right but we have not heard a word from the owners. And you are only as good as the people who work for you, perhaps Dean needs to be relieved of his job.... Firkins does NOT put the customer first and their satisfaction as their ads all say... they took down a post I made on their facebook page about our experience... they took it down this morning but I did copy it.... They only want the positive feedback not the negative... how deceptive is that? They pick and choose what they want the public to know....0
They are calling your bluff. Carry forward. They do have a right to take as much from you as they can, (free market) If you purchase a new car for list price as an example, and drive it off the lot, it will drop in value immediately. (its inflated when you buy it, thats thier job, right or wrong) its not that they have to charge you what they owe on it. Your might be better off selling it for 27K and taking a smaller loss. If there are laws to protect the consumer, trial period , right of recission, you may have a good stand, but if it does exist, its a limited time period. Get your lawyer working on it, know your rights. A quick search just now on Florida and right to rescission (sp?) tells me if you do have a case at all, you have three days only to exercise that right. They are stalling, or the time has already expired. Sorry for your situation, but its a nice car and should sell for 25K plus private sale. (a 2000 loss).0
Simmer, I am not giving up for sure. But I have had three dealers who have given me written value of this Maxima $20,000.00 and the highest $21,000.00 just days after the deal in which the sales manager valued the car at nearly $28,000. in writing. Both were used vehicles so I can't see a drop that fast in that amount. The other dealerships have told us we were out right lied to about the value on both. Imagine a car salesman lying to us?
I have an attorney on it and the local news. So we will see what happens now. I hope to keep others from being taken advantage of by them for sure. Bad business is bad business and they should change their slogan about the customer satisfaction. Thanks for the imput and support. I would love to sell it outright or trade it but not at a $8000.00 loss0
Simmer! Just talked to the general manager Randy Santos, and he is going to give us our Acadia back with a full refund or our money! My husband is going in tomorrow to switch out autos! Very happy. Guess that no one wants to go to court or be on the news, shame on that sales manager, Dean;;; But thank you for your support and encouraging me to move forward and not give up. Thanks to the general manager for making this right!0
You did pretty good, I got an 11 Maxima Premium Crimson Black MSRP 41k on lease for $350 a month with $1500 down for 39 months 12k miles year. Buy out is $22,400 but I paid a little more upfront with less miles allowance for the lower payment. About the same overall cost as you.0
I forgot to mention I got the tech package also. I've been pretty happy with the deal. A guy in my work was paying $472 for an 09 base SV. Thats $4,758 more and didnt get the car fully loaded. oof.0
Good for you. I am glad you got justice here. The sales manager was out of line. (good guy bad guy routine? we wont really know) They would have taken your money had you not pushed. Many, many people will not. Its a numbers game for sales people. They get ahead by making thier numbers and get rewarded for breaking thier numbers. Cars, appliences, most any item that has a sales force tends to follow the same rules. Saturn used to be the one who broke that trend (or were much publicised for doing it, I have no experience with them personally)
In a case such as yours, the Internet is your tool.
As much as I do love my Maxima, the Acura was my next choice. Personally I am not a follower, so no Toyotas or Iphones for me0
The lowest the dealership is willing to go on the 3.5S with LE package is $26,900. This price includes the Nissan rebate of $4K. The Sticker price is $34,435. Doing the math, they are discounting this vehicle $7,535 off sticker price. The dealership is located in the Boston, MA area.
Is this a reasonable price to pay? Any responses are greatly appreciated!0
That sounds like a good deal depending on the options. I did not research, what does the LE come with? Leather? sport wheels? etc? Im from Ma. myself and did a lot of research last year at this time. Have a good handle on the non sport max. there were a few reasons I didnt buy the S but price wise, the S is much less money. Cars.com lists 2012 max_S at around 30-32K so it sounds like a very good price. If you decide to buy, def check it out with a mechanic before you buy. A lot of cars get purchased at auction and therefore dealers can still make a tidy profit from a ar similar to yours. You have to make sure its not been hit and repaired, and if so, was it repaired right (as in minor hit) it may still be worth pursueing regarless IF it was an auction car. Car fax will help but not always do they get reported. Thats where a good mechanic can look it over and find things you dont see. Which dealer is this? I have had some experience with several in MA all the way into Boston too. My mechanic would look a car like this over for no cost. You may get a $25-30 charge to have someone do this but its well worth it. Never ever trust a dealer.0
Thanks alot for the response. It is appreciated. Never trust the dealers-I def hear you. As for your questions....The car is brand new 2012 with just 50 miles on it. The Limited edition package only stickers for an additional $710 so it doesn't include much more than the regular (S) model. The seats are cloth. The LE package includes dark hyper silver wheels,smoked headlights and dark finish sports grille, HID xenon lights, fog lights, outside mirrors with led turn signal, rear spoiler, digital compass in rear view mirror and metallic trim inside the car.
The car comes with 3 other small options..... mats,splash guards and trunk organizer.
Thanks again0
droptopsolara Posts: 19I purchased a new 2011 maxima from quirk so you may want to check them out as always end of month is best and they sell on volume
Straight forward but don't buy any maint. Plan or extras0
Currently the Bankston Dealers around me are offering the car with te Rear Spoiler and Nav and the Surrounding Lighting for $32744 +TTL. Anyone in Dallas found anything better? Which dealership and how much?
Thanks all! :shades:0
Anyone?!?!?! :surprise:0
Dont know dallas area, I am in New England, but when I was looking at a 2012 last October, I was unablel to get them down to 30K. I could have gotten one for 32-33K new with Nav and tech. The surround lighting, is a little bit of a letdown, unless there is something new, its just interior lighting off the doors? or in the foot wells.
I would think you can do much much better. After all its now almost 2013. The one I looked at for 32-33 a year ago loaded the same? Seems to me they are still a few grand high. Best bet, go out and get competing prices. Ive done this with my Pathfinder in Jan 2004 was a 2003LE with leather in my color. Got one guy to go down to 30, got the dealer I bought at to match it.
Find another car with nearly the same options (I say nearly meaning same options but maybe different color) tell THEM you have a deal for 32K will they do 31K ? If they say yes, go right back to first dealer and tell him you have a deal for 31 will they go 30 or 30.5K I think you can do better than that deal, I really do but the area of the country does make a difference. Check out the pricing thru Edmunds, and cars.com, compare what they value the car with same options, take that sheet with you, dont sign anything, be prepared to walk. Do NOT let them see you interested or they will walk all over you. Have to be strong. ! Good luck, play them against themselves, end of the month etc. make a difference!0
I finally got a dealer to get me the following package in $34,600 OTD.
Premium Pkg
Premium Tech Pkg,
Cold Pkg.
Surround Exterior Security Lighting,
Window Tints,
Wheel Locks, Pin Striping
Colors: Black Exterior/Charcoal Interior0
Looking for a '12 last year would have been like looking for a new one. Here I'm looking year end and loaded. I am fairly confident I did well as the MSRP was around $42k. There were $4k Nissan Manufacturer Rebates, $500 NMAC and More than $5k Dealer incentives to go with this.0
desta1 Posts: 1It doesn't sound like "deceitful business practices" to me.
It sounds like you had buyer's remorse and decided that you no longer wanted the deal you lawfully agreed to.
Even if your "back injury" claim is true - the dealership did nothing unethical selling you that vehicle.
The only person in the wrong here is you for failing to exercise proper due-diligence before buying a car and then libeling the dealer afterward on here.0

DETROIT (AP) — A Michigan woman charged with mutilating and illegally removing a corpse after her 32-year-old son's body parts were found in bags along two rural roadways was his legal guardian when he died, a judge told The Associated Press Monday.
Donna Scrivo petitioned Macomb County's probate court last May for "temporary guardianship on an emergency basis because her son was suicidal and despondent over the illness of his father," who later died, Probate Judge Carl Marlinga said.
"The original hearing had two clinical certificates from doctors stating he did suffer from psychosis and that he was a danger to himself, and that he had expressed suicidal thoughts," Marlinga said. "There was obviously sufficient evidence to consider emergency guardianship.
"He consented to having a guardian appointed and his preference that it would be his mother."
Marlinga isn't involved in the criminal case against Donna Scrivo, who was arraigned Monday in St. Clair Shores District Court.
The mutilation charge is a felony carrying up to 10 years in prison upon conviction. The second charge, removing a body from the place where death occurred, is a one-year misdemeanor.
Prosecutors said Ramsay Scrivo's mother filed a missing person's report on Jan. 27, claiming he had left his St. Clair Shores home and failed to return.
Three days later, someone reported seeing a woman dumping trash bags from an SUV along roadsides in China and St. Clair townships in St. Clair County, about 50 miles northeast of Detroit.
Police found body parts inside the bags. The FBI later identified the body as belonging to Ramsay Scrivo through fingerprints.
A cause of death has not been released.
Surveillance video from a business near where the bags were found showed Donna Scrivo was in the area at the time, a prosecutor said during her arraignment Monday.
A search of the man's home in St. Clair Shores found "blood evidence" and "bleach stains," the prosecutor said.
District Judge Mark Fratarcangeli on Monday ordered Donna Scrivo held on $100,000 bond and said he would appoint an attorney for her. Her next court date is Feb. 11. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Feb. 14.

Early surge paves way to rout
Total team effort paves way to rout
There seemed to be some danger lurking at the United Center on Friday.
During the all-star reserve revelation special on Thursday, the TNT analysts went on and on about what a shame, travesty and mockery of justice that Golden State guard Stephen Curry didn't make the Western Conference squad.
That's usually the cue for a big scoring night by a player who's ready to show the NBA nation he deserved a nod. Another reason for Bulls fans to worry was the Warriors winning back-to-back home games against the Clippers and Oklahoma City this week.
Instead, the Bulls set the tone early and rolled to an easy 103-87 victory over Golden State. The Bulls led 30-11 in the first quarter and their lead never dropped into single digits the rest of the way.
"There was a good calmness, but also a readiness and sense of urgency at the same time," said Kirk Hinrich. "I think we kind of had that edge."
An all-star, a snub and a bystander dominated the opening minutes for the Bulls. Joakim Noah was named an all-star for the first time and he set the tone defensively. Carlos Boozer, a strong candidate who didn't make the team, owned the boards.
Then Hinrich, no one's all-star candidate this season, came out on fire. He hit 6 of 7 shots from 3-point range on the way to a season-high 25 points. He hadn't scored 20 points in a game all season until tallying 22 against the Lakers on Monday.
"My shot's felt good all year, it really has," Hinrich said. "I was just focused on the matchup (with Curry). He's a very skilled player, one of the best shooters in this league and it's a tough cover."
Curry finished with 21 points but didn't fare well defensively. When Hinrich took a rest, Nate Robinson lit up the Warriors for 22 points. It was going so well, coach Tom Thibodeau played Hinrich and Robinson together at times against Golden State's small lineup.
All three of the Bulls' starters on the front line collected double-doubles. Noah finished with 14 points and 16 rebounds, Boozer had 15 points and 13 boards, while Jimmy Butler added 16 points and a career-high 12 rebounds.
Noah apparently took being named an all-star very seriously.
"I didn't sleep a lot last night. I'm pretty tired right now," he said. "I think with it comes responsibility. It's not going to make me change my game. I feel like one of the reasons why I was voted in was my hustle and things like that."
The Bulls jumped to early leads of 12-2 and 25-9. Then they scored on their first 11 possessions of the second quarter, while not giving up a single rebound. The Bulls hit 11 of their first 17 shots in the quarter and grabbed all 6 offensive boards.
Golden State (26-16) started the night ranked No. 1 in the league in defensive rebounding percentage. The Bulls posted a 56-37 rebounding advantage. Warriors all-star forward David Lee finished with 6 rebounds, to go with 23 points.
"We just went after the ball," Noah said. "We knew that they were playing some really good basketball and I think we played with the right edge tonight. We just played probably one of our best games."

Raymond selectmen elect chairman unanimouslyBy GRETYL MACALASTER
Union Leader Correspondent
March 18. 2013 10:21PM
RAYMOND - Frank Bourque was elected unanimously by the board of selectmen to serve as their next chairman during the board's first meeting since last week's election.
Wayne Welch was nominated but declined the nomination, citing time constraints. He is serving as the chairman of the town's 250th anniversary committee and is the chair of another statewide committee, he said.
"I am honored and flattered that you would nominate me but I just can't do it right now," Welch said. "I would look forward to doing it in the future."
He then put forth Bourque's nomination, which was unanimously approved by the board.
Peter Buckingham was elected as the board's vice-chairman.
Newly elected selectman Greg Bemis was sworn in before the meeting
Town moderator Kathy Hoelzel also advised the selectman that two recounts will be held on Saturday.
Cheryl Killam and Jack Barnes were both write-in candidates for an open position on the ethics committee. Barnes received 34 votes and Killam received 33 votes and Hoelzel said a recount was requested.
There will also be a recount on article 22, a citizens petition warrant article in which the Raymond Historical Society asked voters for $18,000 to repaint the historic Depot downtown. The article failed by just 12 votes.
A recount committee consisting of all five selectmen, Hoelzel and town clerk Sharon Walls will convene on Saturday to hand count each ballot.
"We'll just see what happens," Hoelzel said.
Less than 1,000 of the town's more than 5,000 registered voters turned out to the polls on March 12, a number Hoelzel said she found disappointing.
In other business, town manager Craig Wheeler said trash pickup will be pushed forward a day for all residents in anticipation of today's storm. Residents who normally have their trash picked up on Wednesday will have it picked up on Thursday and so forth.

Free Beer & Hot Wings: This Ford Mustang Driver Doesn't Need Four Wheels to Drive [Video]
How many wheels does your car have?
Probably four, right? Amateur!
This Ford Mustang driver proves that four wheels are in no way necessary to cruise down the highway.
He not only keeps up with traffic, but even PASSES other cars!
Did he just not notice he had lost a wheel? Did he just not care?
So many questions!

P3 vs. R1 - Samsung experts, i need your help.
Hi everyone!
I've got a few questions, and these forums look like a great place for some advice.
So: My MP3 player recently broke, it was a Meizu M6. I really liked it, but the support was horrible, and it was impossible to get a new one. No more brand-adventures for me. So far, i really liked Samsungs products, especially their notebooks, and right now it's down to the R1 and the P3.
I got to know the P3 pretty well, 3 months ago i recommended it to my girlfriend. My plan was to get one for me, too, but prices seem high at the moment, and the R1 hit the stores. The P3 is 180, while i coud get a R1 for 120, which is quite a difference. I really like the look and feel of the P3, but 180 is a lot of money and also dangerously close to M1 territory.
In the end, the aspect i care most about is the sound quality, so that would be my main question: Is the sound quality of the P3 superior to the one of the R1, or could i save a few bucks and just get the R1? I'm listening with AKG K518DJ headphones with a FiiO E3.
Thanks in advance for any input!

The Vancouver Whitecaps confirmed Monday that captain Jay DeMerit suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Toronto FC at BC Place.
The veteran is now expected to miss months of action, and should he be on the slow end of a recovery, he could miss the entire 2013 season altogether.
Still, head coach Martin Rennie is optimistic the 33-year-old makes a speedy recovery given his natural ability to bounce back.
"The thing with Jay is that Jay's a bit of a freak athlete," said Rennie. "He's one of those guys who always tests really well, always recovers really well. If he does the right things in the rehab and does the right things off the field for the time that he's out then I have no doubt at all that he'll be back."
But, should the recovery take the maximum time, the Scottish tactician insists he has the personnel in his squad to carry on – Brad Rusin looked good after replacing DeMerit on Saturday, while Honduran Olympic captain Johnny Leveron is set to join the team imminently as his paperwork is finalized.
"Jay's obviously an important person and player for our team," said Rennie. "But I actually think we can cover in that sense. It's more just a disappointment for him. Obviously it's the first few minutes of the game and the first few minutes of the season, but we have people who can play in those positions and we do have good leadership on our team."
