Derek Fisher Rumors: Breaking Down Best Destinations for Former Laker GuardMarch 20, 2012
It's not every day that a veteran with Derek Fisher's resume hits free agency in the middle of the season.
Five rings, a willingness to hustle and sacrifice his 37-year-old body and one of the most iconic moments in NBA playoff history.
Not bad for a guy whom the Los Angeles Lakers sent packing as part of a point guard revival/salary dump and whom the Houston Rockets bought out upon his arrival.
As a result, the 16-year veteran and president of the National Basketball Players Association is back on the prowl, in search of some jewelry for his other hand.
Let's have a look, then, at Fisher's best options and what he would have to offer each one.
Miami Heat
If the ring is the only thing that matters, then D-Fish would be wise to take his talents to South Beach to join the Miami Heat. They're the best bet to win the title, with LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh having figured out (to some extent) how to mesh their talents this season.
After nearly winning without that benefit last year, mind you.
Fisher is already familiar with the organization. He nearly joined the Heatles in the summer of 2010, when he last hit free agency following the Lakers' last title, and has already shown some interest in giving it a go with Miami this time around.
The Heat could certainly use a player of Fisher's particular talents, too. The team's struggles in crunch time have been well documented, and Fisher just so happens to be one of the best in the business when it comes to hitting big shots. Miami could offer him a spot as one of the first players off the bench alongside rookie Norris Cole and, more importantly, the opportunity to play important minutes in a run to the top.
Chicago Bulls
According to ESPN's Marc Stein, the Chicago Bulls also sit atop Fisher's wish list, though there's no word yet as to whether the team is similarly interested:
One source says Bulls are right at top of Fisher's wish list ... but whether Chicago plans to reciprocate that interest remains to be seen— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) March 19, 2012
Like the Heat, the Bulls have a least one guy (Derrick Rose) who can and does hit shots in the clutch, though that one guy also happens to be rather injury prone.
That aside, Rose likely wouldn't mind having someone to kick the ball out to in crunch time rather than having to force up contested jumpers in the closing minutes of games or hope (and pray) that, say, Luol Deng or Kyle Korver can actually catch and shoot without wilting.
Trouble is, Chicago already has two solid backups for Rose at the point, in John Lucas III and C.J. Watson, and a third (Mike James) who's on his third 10-day contract of the season with the team.
Minutes may be easier to come by for Fisher at the 2, where Ronnie Brewer has essentially taken over for the oft-injured Rip Hamilton, though even those figures to dry up if/when Hamilton heals up for the playoffs.
Oklahoma City Thunder
There may be no better fit for Fisher, though, than Oklahoma City. As Stein points out, the Thunder have yet to find a true replacement for the injured Eric Maynor as Russell Westbrook's primary backup:
Sources say Thunder, who have yet to fully replace backup PG Eric Maynor, are weighing whether to make formal bid to sign Derek Fisher— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) March 19, 2012
While Reggie Jackson and Royal Ivey have done an admirable job in Maynor's stead, they'd be lucky to so much as sniff Fisher's jock as far as experience and performance under pressure is concerned.
The Thunder wouldn't need to rely on Fisher to produce in crunch time, per se—not with Westbrook and Kevin Durant on the team.
But, adding a veteran presence with five rings to a locker room chock-full of young guys would be a boon to OKC's title case come playoff time.
San Antonio Spurs
As far as age is concerned, though, Fisher would find many more of his peers with the Spurs. San Antonio sports one of the league's oldest rosters, with guys like Tim Duncan (35), Manu Ginobili (34) and now Stephen Jackson (33) logging key minutes for Gregg Popovich.
And, as Stein reports, the Spurs may well consider Fisher to fill the void behind Tony Parker if their bid for Patrick Mills falls flat:
Sources say Spurs, meanwhile, have not ruled out pursuing Fisher w/planned signing of Patty Mills yet to go thru. Link: espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id…— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) March 19, 2012
The Spurs could certainly do worse than Fisher, who's had his fair share of career-defining moments at their expense.
What's more, they figure to finish no worse than second or third in the Western Conference, giving Fisher a golden opportunity to chase a championship and exact a smidgen of revenge against the Lakers for cutting him loose.

Mastering the Twitter social network is certainly a skill that's quite essential to build up your image and business in the social world. You know there are people hanging out in droves in Twitter and other social networks. So if you're in Twitter, make yourself or your business stand out among the 230 million profiles out there. Let your profile have something in it that attracts the right people.
"Brevity is the Soul of Wit"
"Brevity is the soul of wit" – of course, in this Shakespearean quote "wit" refers to intelligence. It points to the necessity of putting across your thoughts briefly but effectively. Let's face it – Twitter's limitations on the number of words you can put in your bio, just like the word count in Twitter shares, can actually bring out the beauty of being concise. Presenting your bio in a concise form while also being complete in revealing the things that matter about you (and even some quirky facts), can make your profile quite popular. It could be the key to attract more followers.
Choosing the Right Words
When you have such limited space, remember that each word you add should count. Ordering words is also essential. When you're presenting yourself or your business let the core aspects – the things you do for your livelihood or what your business deals with, basically related to the kind of things you'll be tweeting the most – be mentioned first and then the other interesting or humorous bits which could also strike a chord and make people follow you.
The words you choose must also tell others why you're in Twitter. Are you here casually – just to make friends and follow trends or to further your profession, skills, talents or business interests? Beyond all that you also need to present what value you can offer your potential followers, or why it's important for them to follow you, which would give them an idea of what you'll be tweeting on. An optimized bio would give just the right details.
When you're selecting words for your bio, make sure they have SEO-worthiness. Decide the keywords you'll use. Remember that your bio should show higher up in search engine results when people search for the things that you deal with. Your bio can also be searched within Twitter.
Strike the Chord at the Beginning
The old adage still holds true – first impression is the best impression. Remember, the average Twitter user decides whether to follow you or not in just a matter of seconds. It's just one look at the profile summary that decides it, so it works to be as creative as possible in describing yourself and selecting the cover picture. Also make sure you put up a genuine profile picture, not some random avatar.
Do a Profile Research
Before setting out to compose your bio, go through the profiles of other Twitter members. Analyze the profiles you like and why you like them. These could be the same reasons that could make others like your profile. Incorporate those elements into your profile, and make your bio short and crisp but having information that matters. Ensure that there is a balance between the people you follow and those who follow you. Research has shown that a lack of balance in this regard is one of the reasons people do not follow certain profiles.
An experienced SEO company can manage your social media optimization as part of its comprehensive search engine optimization solutions. Twitter, depending on your type of business usually comes on top of their SMO list.

After their cancerous 2008 effort, "Disaster Movie," I honestly thought that would be the end of filmmakers Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg, two poisonously unfunny fellows who personally suffocated the parody genre with lethal features such as "Epic Movie," "Date Movie," and "Meet the Spartans." Because Hollywood is always on the hunt for a fast buck, the prankster pair has returned with "Vampires Suck," another unreasonably amateurish spoof film, only now their sights have been trained on the easiest target imaginable: the "Twilight" saga.
Arriving in the mysterious town of Sporks, Becca (Jenn Proske) has come to live with her father (Diedrich Bader), hoping to fit in amongst the rampant vampire population that has swallowed the community. Making friends at school, Becca soon falls under the spell of Edward Sullen (Matt Lanter), a bothered, pasty vampire who falls hopelessly in love with the shy teen, yet pushes her away due to his bloodsucking ways. Hoping to divert Becca's gaze is Jacob (Chris Riggi), a burgeoning werewolf who's madly in love, fighting off his half-dog impulses to impress his crush. With a trio of evil vampires on the hunt for Edward and fanged lords the Zolturi (including Ken "I'll do anything for a dollar" Jeong) approaching, Becca must battle to save her true love from destruction.
To dig up some pebbles of positivity here, "Vampires Suck" is truly the finest film Friedberg and Seltzer have dragged into view. The microscopic elevation in spirits is brought on by the filmmakers' hesitation in making the movie a pop culture free-for-all, with every possible Tiger Beat-approved reference thrown into a blender set to "suicide-inducingly unfunny." I'm not suggesting there's even a frame of this picture that's remotely humorous, but the restraint is perceptible. Sure, some throwaway bits with "Alice in Wonderland," Lady Gaga, and Tiger Woods are paraded around, but the primary focus for "Vampires Suck" is the unrelenting razzing of the blockbuster "Twilight" universe.
While I'm all tingly about their stripped down approach, "Vampires Suck" is still a ragingly contemptible comedy, deprived of even a morsel of creativity or basic goofball proficiency. Making fun of "Twilight" is like fishing with dynamite, leaving the pathetic passes at satire in this picture embarrassing to behold. Jacob's werewolf clan a pack of dancing homosexuals? The teen monster's canine tendencies? Becca's dad having an affair with a blow-up sex doll? It's all wholly unfunny and depressingly pedestrian, with the average outcast YouTube video wizard achieving more of a direct hit on what makes the Stephenie Meyer saga so utterly ludicrous. Heck, the "Twilight" movies themselves have a more fruitful self-referential yank than "Vampires Suck," and those things are most dour pictures around.
Also a grave disappointment is Proske's worthless performances as Becca. Offered a golden opportunity to rip open Kristen Stewart's tic-plastered, mope-encased acting range, and Proske blows it big time. Instead, the young actress simply attempts to simulate Stewart's wintry poise, not her overwhelming indication. It's an incredible letdown.
What we have with "Vampires Suck" is simply Friedberg and Seltzer doing what they always do: tanking every possible joke, cramming in as much blatant product placement as possible, and smashing the ensemble in the face. These guys adore their body trauma, which makes up 75% of the comedy in the movie. None of it registers as even remotely amusing, but the filmmakers don't really mind. To them, brutality equals instant laughs. I beg to differ.
"Vampires Suck" is present in two versions: a Theatrical Cut (82:01) and an Extended Unrated Cut (83:47). The differences are negligible, mostly contained to a team of Jell-O wrestlers Becca must navigate through in the opening and close of the picture. I recommend skipping both versions. Take a nap instead.
The AVC encoded image (1.85:1 aspect ratio) supports the comedic mood of the film with excellent clarity. Detail is effective with sight gags (especially the bloodier business), permitting the viewer a chance to inspect the finer points of the parody in play. Also easy to spot on the BD are the CG-enhanced special effects, which stand out during the presentation. Light grain lends the image fresh texture, which comes in handy for costuming and make-up particulars. Colors punch nicely, with yellow eyes and forest greens making a strong impact, while shadow detail is supportive, keeping information active during low-light sequences.
The 5.1 DTS-HD sound mix is vigorous for this cartoon feature, conveying the slapstick tone of the picture with a crisp, clean track. Low-end in engaged during soundtrack cuts and violent encounters, while dialogue is preserved competently, if thin at times, kept in a more frontal state to help solidify the verbal execution. Surrounds are employed for atmospherics, with grand crowd antics in place during the film's bookend battle sequences. Nothing here creates the greatest aural urgency, but the track stays in step with the visual elements, supporting the jokes with acceptably separated and arranged sound effects and dialogue exchanges. A French 5.1 mix is also included.
English SDH and Spanish subtitles are offered.
"Deleted Scenes" (12:34) showcases more gems from the filmmakers, including wacky school parking lot signage for Becca to observe, some frantic sleepwalking habits from the ingénue, a "Dear John" riff, an extended deliberation on the whereabouts of Mexican vampires, a herpes sight gag, and a bit more goofballery with David Foley and Ken Jeong.
"Gag Reel" (3:50) is a routine showcase of cast and crew mix-em-ups, showing off the clumsiness of the ensemble.
And a Theatrical Trailer is included.
I'd pass along that "Vampires Suck" is a waste of time and film, that it never comes close to a single laugh, spotlights humiliating performances, and generally goes out of its way to be one of the worst, most shamelessly slapdash films of 2010. But I'm sure you already knew that. If you have or know a teenager with a pocket full of BD spending money, please take the time to remind each and every one of them that there's so much other nonsense they could waste their coin on this holiday season.

Indian Football Federation to Buy Out 25 Star Players!March 9, 2009
This is not a surprise, indeed Bob Houghton has been rooting for this for quite a while. Apart from being a wily coach, Bob knows the importance of excelling in international arenas, which will raise the profile of Indian Football.
He knows things might change for good, if the national team can earn a World Cup berth or have good run in some Asian competitions. It is a mighty "might"—still, it is worth a try.
Then again, it is AIFF. The ever bleating clubs will be at it again, it will be a tantamount effort from AIFF, if at all this materialize. On one hand, it will be nice to have a dedicated national team for football who doesn't play club football but on the other, shouldn't we think we are hampering the careers of young footballers without allowing them to play club football?
Everything has a leeway, if things are to be managed sensibly, after all two seasons is the time span quoted and that is not bad. I am not brimming with optimism, as the lessons from history do not allow me to do so.
The amount of money involved in such an adventure is massive and it should be a fool proof, to pull it off. Will the incompetent AIFF turn the corners this time around?
Wait and Watch!

CHICAGO – "Speech & Debate," the latest production from the mighty Brown Paper Box Company, continues their tradition of thinking outside that "box" in presenting storefront theater that makes a statement and a difference. "Speech" goes inside America by showcasing the outsiders… those who create art because they can't get it right in real life. This non-equity Chicago stage play premiere is finely tuned and wonderfully acted, and runs through March 4th, 2018. Click here for more details, including ticket information.
TV Review: Cultures Clash in CBS's Mediocre Comedy 'Rob!'
CHICAGO – After an absolute train wreck like ABC's "Work It" and something that comes close to disaster in NBC's "Are You There, Chelsea," there's something nearly-satisfying about a mediocre sitcom like "Rob!" The latest effort to find a hit in the coveted post-"Big Bang Theory" slot is certainly better than the last two ("S**t My Dad Says," "How to Be a Gentleman") but that is the definition of faint praise. This is still mediocre comedy, the kind of show that you might enjoy if you stumble upon it but that you don't need to set a Season Pass for any time soon.
Television Rating: 3.0/5.0
Rob Schneider has always looked uncomfortable on film in comedies like "Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo" and "Grown Ups," but he was often very funny in his time on "Saturday Night Live" and even delivered on the short-lived "Men Behaving Badly." He just seems more at home on TV — his timing, his screen presence, his whole persona seems made for the small screen and he works here. It helps to have a living legend like Cheech Marin to make Schneider look better. The veterans of "Rob!" (Schneider and Marin) help elevate the premiere above typical comedy pilot quality in 2011-12. In other words, it's better than a lot of comedy junk that has premiered this year. Don't take that to mean it's great either.

Schneider plays, of course, the title character, a lifelong bachelor who is introduced making out with his stunning new young wife Maggie (Claudia Bassols). The Mexican book translator, who happens to be the hottest book translator in the world, is the opposite of Rob. She's outgoing, vibrant, and full of life. He's anal, obsessive, and neurotic. The idea that they would even spend five minutes together much less get married is one of the grand jokes of "Rob!" Hollywood loves to write stories of schlubs who end up with beautiful women. It gives lonely writers hope.
Photo credit: CBS
Oh, did I mention that Maggie is Mexican? And that her ethnicity is the main focus of the show? Due to Maggie and Rob's whirlwind romance, Rob hasn't even met his new bride's extended, overprotective family. Of course, he meets them all at once in one of two scenes that comprise the bulk of the premiere of "Rob!" and the culture clash jokes fly fast and furious. Maggie's family includes father Fernando (Marin), mother Rosa (Diana Maria Riva), uncle Hector (Eugenio Derbez), and grandmother (Lupe Ontiveros). They think Rob is the cab driver and then call him a gardener after he reveals that he's a landscape architect. They get in close where Rob needs personal space. They're loud, outgoing, and exactly what you'd expect from a CBS sitcom Mexican family…
…but not nearly as much as you might expect. I thought that "Rob!" would wallow in more stereotypes than it does. In fact, the title character often seems the butt of the joke more than Maggie's family. It helps to have actors like Marin, Riva, and Ontiveros to ground the comedy as best they can, and Derbez makes some quirky choices that actually produce some laughs. Bassols is the biggest weakness of the pilot, over-enunciating every line and never coming off even remotely believably. But she might settle in once she gets more comfortable with her character.
Yes, the writing still gets caught up in stereotype and Rob is sometimes far too goofy to be realistic (his first conversational item to come to mind when he finally gets Maggie's family alone is Selena) but this is not as broad as the title, concept, or even the commercials might lead you to believe. And there's something kind of comforting about an old-fashioned sitcom like this one that doesn't feel nearly as desperate as "Chelsea" or "Work It."
I do wonder how on Earth they can keep up the culture clash concept over multiple episodes, much less seasons. Is Rob still going to be committing cultural faux pas three or four years into his marriage? What will this show become without "dumb American meets his hot wife's Mexican family"? I think it will wear out its welcome. But, for now, it's kind of like the family's response to its title character — repulsion is the natural first instinct but he kind of grows on you.

Hey guys! So I just got this idea if any of you guys are interested!
It's really simple and doesn't require much
What you need is a candle, a seashell, and a lighter
It would probably be best if you had a larger clam shell
You take the shell and put it round side down, use the lighter to warm up the bottom so it'll stick to the shell, light and let it melt to adhere itself to the shell and voila! All done !
I hope you like it!

Spoiler:- Shinies&Events:
- Let me start by saying that I, under NO circumstances, will accept hacks or pokemon that are suspected of being hacked. Not only is it against the rules, I was traded a hack before and it crashed my game. So if you trade me a hacked pokemon, there's a 200% chance I'll ban you from here and cancel any future trades.
- Also, I do not breed for egg moves. I can try to breed IVs, but no promises. I don't really understand the big deal, I mean to me a shiny is a shiny, but I guess a lot of people think differently.

Darrell Issa Inadvertently Points Out That Federal Worker Pay Has Been Cut
Republican Representative Darrell Issa has been making a big deal lately over the notion that federal worker pay has supposedly been rising from 2010 to 2012. His "infographic":
I have no idea whether Issa's claim is actually true, because he does not cite any source. However, even if this claim is true in the sense of nominal dollars, it represents an effective pay cut, not a pay increase. Given the average federal worker pay in 2012 and the rising cost of living from 2010 to 2012, the inflation-adjusted change in average annual federal worker pay would be a cut of $563.
Even if Issa's numbers are accurate, from 2010 to 2012, when we take into account the cost of living federal workers are being compensated slightly less for their work, not more. Issa left this bit out of his angry blue infographic.

Julie, while in the midst of working on the marriage with my wife, I found these books extremely good, and very well worth working through:
"Marriage Matters" by Winston T. Smith
"The Love Dare" by Stephen Kendrick
"What Did You Expect?: Redeeming the Realities of Marriage" by Paul David Tripp.
and "The Meaning of Marriage" by Timothy Keller.
and off course some of the great material in your blog as well, and links, e-books, and everything .
I will also say this .. it ain't easy.
It is not easy to "stay in the marriage" , when you feel alone, invisible, and just about empty inside. 4 years of depression leave a mark, and the enemy pushes hard to undermine the union between me and my wife. It takes stubborn, raw determination to find the gold in the situation. You see, anyone can start digging and find dirt. Lord knows, the dirt about me abounds as well, I hope no-one finds "my dirt". I have been very good in finding dirt about my wife, and in a way, it looks, feels, and tastes good to find dirt in others, because it elevates our status to a point of righteousness that in reality does not exists. As I said in another comment, I have very , very, recently decided to increase my commitment and my efforts, fight, and dig for gold. Very soon we are going to a week long trip to a healing school-class conference. It is on inner-healing, and it will also be a nice long road trip, just the two of us, no kids. I hope this will be a turning point, we will have plenty of time and opportunity to share, talk, hear each other. The temptation to give-in is just that, a temptation. I love her, and I know she loves me. What we need is to allow the Holy Spirit to work on both of us. Thanks for the blog, and for all you do, it really does matter. I will comment again in the other thread, before we leave.
First Time Here?

Date: December 9, 2008
Source: Fox News
Abstract: A cruise ship will evacuate passengers before sailing past the Somali coast and fly them to the next port of call to protect them from possible pirate attacks, German cruise operator Hapag-Lloyd said Tuesday.
An official with the European Union's anti-piracy mission said separately that it would station armed guards on vulnerable cargo ships — the first such deployment of military personnel during the international anti-piracy operations in the Gulf of Aden.
The MS Columbus cruise ship will drop off its 246 passengers Wednesday at the Yemeni port of Hodeidah before the ship and some of its crew sail through the Gulf, the Hamburg-based cruise company said in a statement.
The passengers will take a charter flight to Dubai and spend three days at a five-star hotel waiting to rejoin the 490-foot vessel in the southern Oman port of Salalah for the remainder of a round-the-world tour that began in Italy.
Hapag-Lloyd said the detour was a "precautionary measure," given rampant piracy off the coast of lawless Somalia that recently has targeted cruise ships as well as commercial vessels, including a Saudi oil tanker carrying $100 million in crude and a Ukrainian ship loaded with tanks and other weapons.
Pirates last week fired upon the M/S Nautica — a cruise liner carrying 650 passengers and 400 crew members — but the massive ship outran its assailants. Other ships have not been so lucky. Pirates have attacked 32 vessels and hijacked 12 of them since NATO deployed a four-vessel flotilla on Oct. 24 to escort cargo ships and conduct anti-piracy patrols.
The Hapag-Lloyd cruise company planned the detour
for its passengers in order to heed a German Foreign Ministry travel warning,
after the German government denied the cruise company's request for a security
escort through the Gulf, company spokesman Rainer Mueller said. As long as the
travel warning is in effect, he said, "we won't travel through the Gulf of
Aden with passengers."
A U.S. Navy official said, however, that while the danger of a pirate attack was significant, it was not advising ships to avoid transiting the Gulf.
"We are advising all ships to transit through the international traffic corridor within the Gulf of Aden," said Lt. Nathan Christensen, a Bahrain-based spokesman for the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet, referring to a security corridor patrolled by the international coalition since August.
Some 21,000 cargo ships a year — or more than 50 a day — cross the Gulf of Aden, which links the Mediterranean Sea, the Suez Canal and the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean, international agencies have said. The growing chaos in impoverished Somalia, which has had no effective government for nearly two decades, has allowed an Islamic insurgency to flourish in the country while speedboat bandits attack ships offshore.
The EU launched its anti-piracy mission five days early on Tuesday, before it takes over for the NATO ships next Monday. The EU mission will involve six ships and up to three aircraft patrolling at any one time, and will station armed guards aboard the most vulnerable cargo vessels, such as ships transporting food aid to Somalia, according to the British naval commander in charge of the mission.
"We would seek to place vessel protect detachments on board World Food Program ships transiting to Somalia," British Rear Admiral Philip Jones told a news conference in Brussels. "They are the most vulnerable ships of all, and the best deterrence is achieved by having such a detachment on board."
The NATO anti-piracy mission has also focused on escorting the U.N. aid agency's chartered vessels, helping some 30,000 tons of humanitarian aid reach Somalia since Oct. 24.
In addition, about a dozen other warships from the U.S. 5th Fleet based in Bahrain, as well as from India, Russia and Malaysia and other nations are patrolling in the area.
The Russian navy will soon replace its warship in the region with another from a different fleet, navy spokesman Capt. Igor Dygalo said Tuesday in Moscow.
The missile frigate Neustrashimy, or Intrepid — deployed from Russia's Northern Fleet after pirates seized the Ukrainian ship in September — has helped thwart at least two pirate attacks, Dygalo said. It will remain in the region through December and be replaced by a ship from Russia's Pacific Fleet.
Jones welcomed an offer from Japan to contribute a vessel to the one-year EU mission. It is the European Union's first naval endeavor, though the bloc has conducted 20 peacekeeping operations.
Britain, France, Greece, Sweden, Spain, Belgium,
and the Netherlands will contribute at least 10 warships and three aircraft,
with contingents rotated every three months (Fox News, 2008).
Title: Suspicious Cargo
Container Disrupts Traffic At LA Port
Date: December 22, 2011
Source: WNEP News
Abstract: Cargo traffic at the Port of Los Angeles was disrupted on Wednesday after longshoremen discovered a shipping container with the word "bomb" painted on the outside, a spokesman for the facility said.
Dock workers at the nation's busiest container port reported coming across the suspicious cargo bin as it was being unloaded from a ship on Wednesday afternoon, port spokesman Phillip Sanfield said. Roughly 10 percent of the port was forced to close as the area was cordoned off and a Los Angeles Police Department bomb squad, bomb-sniffing dogs and other agencies arrived to investigate the container, Sanfield said.
The loading and unloading of two vessels was temporarily halted at one of the port's eight container terminals, and the crew of the ship that had carried the spray-painted cargo bin was evacuated as a precaution, he added.
Shortly after 9 p.m. local time, authorities at the scene reported that no suspicious material was found inside the container, Sanfield said in an email message.
"We see all sorts of cargo that's inspected and odd things," Sanfield said, but "it's unusual to have that sort of graffiti on a container at the port." He said the word "bomb" had appeared in spray-painted lettering in a "couple" places on the container.
Police spokesman Cleon Joseph said no threat was received by the port in connection with the incident.Sanfield said the container in question had arrived on a Singapore-flagged vessel that originated in Vietnam and stopped over in Oakland, California, en route to Los Angeles (WNEP News, 2011).
Title: MSC Poesia Destroys Reef In The Bahamas -
Cruise Ship With 26' Draft Sailed Into 15' Waters
Date: January 9, 2012
Source: Cruise Law News
Abstract: The MSC Poesia cruise ship ran aground into a reef in the Bahamas this weekend while sailing to Port Lucaya near Freeport, Bahamas.
The 93,000-ton cruise ship needs twenty-five feet of draft but sailed into only fifteen (15) feet of water. The video below show that the vessel ground into and destroyed a substantial length of the fragile reef.
Several tugs were called to prevent the cruise ship from further grinding into the reef as the wind tried to push the vessel into more shallow water.MSC was not able to get off the reef until high tide. According to Cruise Radio where I first learned of the grounding, the incident did not stop the cruise ship from tendering cruise passengers to Port Lucaya. Ed Owen who writes for the Examiner also was one of the first to report on this incident (Cruise Law News, 2012).

French Tugboat Reaches Italian Cruise Ship Adrift In Pirate-Infested Indian
Ocean After Fire
Date: February 28, 2012
Source: Fox News
Abstract: A French fishing vessel on Tuesday began towing an Italian cruise ship drifting powerless in the Indian Ocean to a nearby Seychelles island, but was not expected to reach the tiny resort island until Wednesday, officials said.
Seychelles authorities said they are making arrangements to evacuate people to the island of Desroches and then to transfer the more than 1,000 passengers and crew members to the main Seychelles island of Mahe by plane and fast boats. Desroches is a small, exclusive coral-lined island that has seen such visitors as Prince William and Kate Middleton before the two married.
The Costa Allegra lost power Monday after a fire in its generator room only six weeks after one of its sister ships, the Costa Concordia, hit a reef and capsized off Italy. No one was injured in the fire Monday, but the blaze set the cruiseliner adrift at sea in a region where Somali pirates prey on ships.
Two tug boats continued to steam toward the stranded cruise ship on Tuesday but were not expected to reach it until the afternoon. The tugs will tow the Costa Allegra back to the Seychelles' main port -- Port Victoria -- under escort by the coast guard and military.
The cruise ship company said that a helicopter took off from Seychelles' main island on Tuesday and will take food, satellite phones and VHF radios to the ship. Guests have been asked to prepare their luggage for disembarkation.
Photos released by the Seychelles on Tuesday showed hundreds of people milling outside on the decks of the Costa Allegra. Taken by an Indian navy plane, the photos showed calm seas and an upright ship.
The Costa Allegra has 636 passengers and 413 crew members on board. The fire knocked out power to the ship's engines as well as to its lights and air conditioning.
The power burnout came six weeks after the Costa Concordia capsized, killing 25 people and leaving seven missing and presumed dead. Both ships are operated by Costa Crociere SpA, which is owned by the Florida-based Carnival Corp.
However, company officials rushed to play down concerns.
The Costa Allegra is adrift "and being pushed by the current. It is stable and upright," Giorgio Moretti, the director of nautical operations for Costa Crociere SpA, told reporters in a conference call late Monday from company headquarters in Genoa, Italy.
Costa Crociere said the Costa Allegra is not expected to arrive to Desroches island until Wednesday morning
"It's a big ship and to tow it, to move it across the waters, is a heavy task," said Seychelles presidential spokeswoman Srdjana Janosevic. She said that everything is calm on board the cruise ship and that no one is hurt.
Italian Coast Guard officials said emergency generators were keeping the ship's control room illuminated and communications equipment such as radios running. Officials said the cruise liner was holding steady, despite 5-foot waves in the area and passengers were being kept in the ship's big communal rooms, not in their cabins.
Moretti, a longtime Costa captain, said he expected the 636 passengers aboard would spend the night on outside decks. Among them were 212 Italian, 31 British and eight U.S. passengers, he said. Four of the passengers were children ages 3 or younger.
The Allegra, whose Italian name means "merry," or "happy," had left northern Madagascar, off Africa's southeast coast, on Saturday and was cruising toward Port Victoria when the fire erupted. Costa said the Allegra had been due in Port Victoria on Tuesday.
The general region where the cruise ship was adrift -- off the coast of Tanzania -- has seen a rash of attacks by Somali pirates. In 2009, an Italian cruise ship with 1,500 people aboard fended off a pirate attack in the Indian Ocean far off the coast of Somalia.
Moretti said an armed nine-member Italian military team on anti-pirate duty was aboard the Allegra, but he insisted the maritime region where the ship was now "isn't a high risk area for pirates."
"If pirates attack, the armed guards on board will respond. But as far as I am aware, no pirates have been sighted in the area," said Janosevic.Moretti said 15 Costa engineers, technicians and other officials were flying to Mahe in hope of reaching the Allegra by air to repair its generators (Fox News, 2012).
Title: Power
Restored To Cruise Ship Hit By Engine Fire Off Indonesia
Date: March 31, 2012
Source: CNN
Abstract: Engineers have restored propulsion power to a cruise ship carrying about 1,000 people after it was left adrift off Indonesia by an engine fire, cruise company Azamara Club Cruises said.
The ship is now sailing directly to Sandakan, in Malaysia, at a speed of between three and six knots and is expected to arrive within 24 to 48 hours, the company said.
The Philippines Navy said it had sent a patrol boat which is accompanying the cruise ship.
All of the nearly 600 passengers on board the Azamara Quest are safe but five crew members suffered smoke inhalation during the fire, the company said in an online statement.
One crew member who was more seriously injured is doing better but will be taken to a hospital as soon as the ship reaches shore, it said.
"The damage caused by the fire will require us to cancel the rest of Azamara Quest's voyage once the ship arrives in Sandakan," it said.
As of Saturday morning local time, the ship was located 200 miles off the port city of Balikpapan, on the Indonesian island of Borneo, in calm seas, the company said.
The fire broke out at about 8:20 p.m. local time in one of the ship's engine rooms, where it was contained and quickly extinguished, the company said.
Power was restored to one of the engines late Friday, allowing the ship to restart its air conditioning, running water, plumbing and refrigeration, Azamara Club Cruises said.
The fire broke out after the Azamara Quest had set sail from Manila, in the Philippines, Officer Francis Wong, chief of communications for the Philippines Navy, told CNN.
The ship's captain reported the fire to the Philippine naval authorities, who sent a Cessna aircraft and two patrol gun boats to the cruise ship in response, he said.
As of noon Friday Philippine time the fire was under control, he said.
"When we left the ship was safe and close to Palawan," he said, referring to an island province in the Philippines.
The Azamara Quest was on a 17-night sailing voyage that departed Hong Kong, China, on March 26, and was due to include port calls in the Philippines, Borneo and Indonesia before concluding in Singapore on April 12.
Anyone booked on the Azamara Quest for a cruise starting April 12 is advised by Azamara Club Cruises to check the company's website on Monday for an update.Azamara Club Cruises, which operates two cruise liners, is part of the giant Royal Caribbean Cruises group (CNN, 2012).
Title: Royal Caribbean Ship Damaged After Hitting Cable In Europe
Date: September 6, 2012
Source: USA Today
Abstract: A Royal Caribbean ship visiting the Faroe Islands today hit an overhead cable strung between two islands in an incident that left one crew member injured and the ship's mast damaged.
Royal Caribbean says the 2,110-passenger Jewel of the Seas remains seaworthy and has continued on with its trip, a 16-night sailing from Harwich, England to Boston.
"While the ship did sustain some damage to equipment located on the mast, as well as to the mast itself, this in no way affects the seaworthiness of the ship," the line says in a statement. "Local officials responded to Jewel of the Seas, and after inspecting the damage to the ship concluded that the ship can safely sail."
Royal Caribbean says the injured crew member was hit by falling debris and was transferred to a Faroe Island hospital after being initially treated onboard.
The line says it doesn't know why the ship hit the cable, which extends between the Faroe's Bordoy and Eysturoy Islands and is high in the air.
"All the navigational tools and charts we use to plan our voyage, including information we obtained from the local port authorities and harbor master in advance of our arrival, indicated we had enough clearance to pass under the cable," the line says. "We are working closely with the local authorities to determine why this incident occurred."
Jewel of the Seas was pulling into the Faroe Islands town of Klaksvik at the time of the incident.
Located north of Scotland between the Norwegian Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, the Faroe Islands is a self-governing nation under the sovereignty of Denmark.
Jewel of the Seas departed Harwich on Aug. 31 and will be stopping in Iceland and Newfoundland, Canada before arriving in Boston on Sept. 16 (USA Today, 2012).
Title: Dawn Princess Norovirus Outbreak Investigation Update
Date: September 9, 2012
Source: Global Dispatch
Abstract: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued an outbreak update last week concerning the Princess Cruises Dawn Princess norovirus outbreak.
According to the CDC's Vessel Sanitation Program Update, the investigation involves Dawn Princess cruise ship voyage dates were from August 21 to September 13, 2012.
Of the 1,778 passenger on board the ship, 114 were stricken with the symptoms of norovirus infection. In addition, of the 851 crew aboard the ship, 11 displayed symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea.
Princess Cruises have reportedly increased cleaning and disinfection procedures according to their outbreak prevention and response plan.
In addition, the following other actions have been taken:
- Made announcements to notify onboard passengers of the outbreak, encourage case reporting, and encourage hand hygiene,
- Collected stool specimens from ill passengers and crew, tested the specimens onboard using a rapid Norovirus test, and made plans to send them to the CDC lab,
- Made twice daily reports of gastrointestinal illness cases to the VSP,
- Has deployed a public health officer from the corporate office to supervise implementation of the ship's response plan,
- Is consulting with CDC on plans for their super sanitation procedures in Seward, AK.
The CDC reports that two CDC Vessel Sanitation Program environmental health officers will board the ship on arrival in Juneau, AK on September 7, 2012 to conduct an environmental health assessment and evaluate the outbreak and response activities. Stool specimens will be sent to the CDC lab for confirmatory testing and genome sequencing.
Norovirus is a highly contagious illness caused by infection with a virus of the same name. It is often called by other names, such as viral gastroenteritis, stomach flu, and food poisoning.
The symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and some stomach cramping. Sometimes people additionally have a low-grade fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, and a general sense of tiredness. The illness often begins suddenly, and the infected person may feel very sick. In most people, the illness is self-limiting with symptoms lasting for about 1 or 2 days. In general, children experience more vomiting than adults do.
Norovirus is spread person to person particularly in crowded, closed places. Norovirus is typically spread through contaminated food and water, touching surfaces or objects contaminated with norovirus and then putting your hand or fingers in your mouth and close contact with someone who is vomiting or has diarrhea.Norovirus causes more than 20 million illnesses annually, and it is the leading cause of gastroenteritis outbreaks in the United States (Global Dispatch, 2012).

Abstract: A 3,100-passenger cruise ship was damaged this week during a rough crossing of the Bay of Biscay.
Passengers aboard P&O Cruises' Ventura posting at online forums say a crack at least two inches wide opened up high above the water line near the pool deck. A photo at one online forum shows a crack running vertically near the top of the vessel.
A spokesperson for the line contacted by USA TODAY did not respond to questions about the nature of the damage but sent a statement saying it is not structural.
"Repairs will be made to an aluminium deck on Ventura upon arrival in Southampton (UK) today. This has no structural strength or safety implications," the statement said.The statement said Ventura will leave Southampton later today as planned for a two-night cruise (USA Today, 2012).
Title: Norovirus On Celebrity Cruises' Ship Constellation
Date: November 6, 2012

Abstract: A cruise ship delayed its departure from Southampton after a suspected outbreak of norovirus on board.
Celebrity Cruises' vessel Constellation arrived in the city's port at 06:00 GMT at the end of a 12-night cruise.
Southampton's Port Health Authority said about 350 passengers had fallen ill with the vomiting and diarrhoea bug.
Its departure was delayed until 20:00 while deep cleaning took place.
The authority's Rosie Zambra confirmed it was informed of "concerns over an increased levels of what appeared to be norovirus" several days before the ship's arrival.
'Bad sanitation'
About 2,200 and 900 crew had been on a wine cruise around the coasts of France and Spain.
A representative of the health authority has since been on board and verified the affected cabins and public areas had been deep cleaned.
Passenger David Mattey said his holiday had been "completely ruined" when he went down with severe vomiting and diarrhoea.
He said: "The sanitation on that ship is bad."
A statement from Celebrity Cruises said the crew was conducting "extra cleaning and sanitising on board the ship and within the cruise terminal as preventative measures."It added its hygiene procedures on board were "comprehensive and always strictly adhered to" (BBC, 2012).
Title: Norovirus Outbreak Sickens 140 On Royal Caribbean's 'Voyager Of The
Date: November 23, 2012
Source: Examiner
Abstract: Approximately 140 passengers and crew on board Royal Caribbean's Voyager of the Seas developed gastrointestinal symptoms resembling norovirus upon returning from New Zealand to Sydney, according to a Royal Caribbean blog report Nov. 23.
According to the cruise line statement, those infected with the stomach bug responded well to over-the-counter medications administered on board the ship.
Cruise officials notified passengers today that they would begin cleaning and sanitizing guest rooms per Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations.
Because of these events, big lines were formed at the Overseas Passenger Terminal in Circular Quay, which stretched hundred of meters, frustrating passengers.
The Voyager of the Seas can hold 3,138 passengers and over 1,100 crew members.
Noroviruses are a group of viruses that cause the "stomach flu," or gastroenteritis in people.
The symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and some stomach cramping. Sometimes people additionally have a low-grade fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, and a general sense of tiredness. The illness often begins suddenly, and the infected person may feel very sick. In most people, the illness is self-limiting with symptoms lasting for about 1 or 2 days. In general, children experience more vomiting than adults do.Norovirus is spread person to person particularly in crowded, closed places. Norovirus is typically spread through contaminated food and water, touching surfaces or objects contaminated with norovirus and then putting your hand or fingers in your mouth and close contact with someone who is vomiting or has diarrhea (Examiner, 2012).

Fuck it.
Oh well. We can kiss goodbye to Europe for another five years.
Ugh. Guess it was just too big an ask. I know it's almost certainly affected our league form, but I've loved being back in Europe. Hopefully we'll be back in 18 months.
When we had Marveaux, Ben Arfa, Sissoko and Cabaye in midfield all together (at last) it was great to watch.
Here's hoping we now roll over the mackems and put on a push for the Top 10.
The damage was done in the first leg. We basically completely dominated them for the entire second half but as per usual we come up short up front. We need at least two forwards in the summer or we will be in even bigger trouble next season.
I agree that we need at least one more forward, but I think this season has been just as anomalous as last season.
So long as we don't see a complete exodus of players we should be Top 8 material. I don't think I'm being arrogant when I say that our squad is better than West Brom's (certainly once you factor out Lukaku), Swansea's and Fulham's.
That's it though. From within a couple of points of Champions League last season to no Europe at all now next season I think it'll be a tough ask to keep our top players if I'm honest. I'd be very very surprised if we don't lose two or three of our starters.
In addition to that, all this talk of us going after players like Aubameyang probably needs revisiting. A lot of work needs to be done to attract anybody of that calibre now. Surely Cabaye is running out of people in his phonebook to call!
Edited by teamHAM at 22:18:28 11-04-2013
I'm already consigned to losing Coloccini, so after that worst case is probably losing Cabaye and Ben Arfa. With the �25 million (I'd hope more) we'd raise from their sale I'd be confident we would buy smartly.
Of all our signings of the last 3 years, the only two I don't rate are Obertan and Anita (who I do like, but is probably a bit too small to challenge in EPL midfields). That's excluding the freebies like Amalfitano of course.
Edit: It's a shame we're even discussing this, as I think it's safe to say we would've caned the first half of the season if we had actually signed Debuchy and others in the Summer, as we should have done. Ah well.
Anyway, I hear Spurs are still playing. I hope they lose, just out of sheer spite at being knocked out ourselves.

Basel were the better team over the two legs. Sad to see it end on a shootout for Spurs, though.
So Chelsea are again our best team in Europe? How depressing.

Explore their Stories in the National Park System
Jamestown National Historic Site
Jamestown National Historic Site, part of Colonial National Historical Park, is the location of the first permanent English settlement in North America. Jamestown also hosted the first legislative assembly of the future colonies as well as the first Africans in English North America.
The park interprets the story of early America in two locations: Old Towne is the site of the initial years of the colony within the fort that that the English built in 1607, and New Towne documents the expansion of the city from the 1620s until 1699. A visitor center or museum at each site tells the story of this early settlement through interpretation and artifacts. Today, visitors can explore the history of Jamestown, from its earliest beginnings as a campsite for American Indians to the later English settlement period.
The English were not the first settlers on Jamestown Island. More than 30 Powhatan Indian tribes had lived in the area for thousands of years and sustained the lush landscape. In 1607, John Smith sailed to North America with a crew of entrepreneurs. They chose
In 1609, John Rolfe sailed from England to the settlement in Virginia. Under the direction of the Virginia Company, he and other settlers began industrial pursuits they hoped would bring profits to the company, such as manufacturing silk, glass, lumber, sassafras, pitch and tar, and soap ashes. Rolfe was the first to plant tobacco seeds in Virginia, and under his leadership, the export of tobacco grew dramatically.
In the 1620s, William Claiborne began surveying land east of the fort, and this area developed and prospered as New Towne until the colonial capital moved to Williamsburg in 1699. During these years, this official government port city bustled with prominent officials and merchants, as people traveled there to attend the courts; serve on the House of Burgesses; or have their tobacco graded, weighed, and taxed. Prominent officials and merchants built grand residences; and taverns, warehouses, and wharves served Jamestown's visitors.
At New Towne, visitors can explore the large, complex settlement that was the site of the English experiment in colonization at Jamestown. In the mid-1620s, streets and brick homes appeared in New Towne. One street in particular, the Backstreet, was the site of the homes of prominent Virginians. Well into the 1700s, the Backstreet remained a fashionable address. The archeological remains of Richard Ambler's mansion and the Chiles family home are a feature on the tour route of New Towne.
Archaeologists continue to uncover objects, such as a clay oven, a gun shop, a jail, and warehouses, which give insight into the colonists' experience on the island. A gunsmith suggests the importance of gun ownership to colonists who used firearms for protection, while warehouses are evidence of expanding trade and the need for more storage space for increasing imports. The Greate Road also reveals the colony's connection to other settlements for trade purposes. Visitors can walk, bike, or drive the Island Loop Drive through New Towne, which highlights the variety of the settlers' industrial endeavors. This three or five-mile loop also gives visitors fabulous views of the James River, the regenerating forest, and marshlands.

"In an age where the answer to every question is at your fingertips, where does the human brain fit in?"
In one hand-held object, we are able to manage all of our calendars, documents, and interpersonal relationships with such ease that many people are lost when forced to do perform these tasks without the aid of electronics. Often heard are the calls for less technology and more face-to-face interaction, for fear that the use of all this artificial intelligence is dampening our own ability to think.
Author Marc Prensky has a different idea. In this controversial and well-argued treatise, Prensky offers the idea that rather than stunting the mind—that most essential aspect of an individual's intelligence and sense of self—smart technology (and smart use of technology) enhances our humanity in ways that the brain on its own never could. Through scores of fascinating examples, Prensky shows that the symbiotic combination of the human brain and technology—from marrying the brain's strengths such as sense-making and complex reasoning abilities with technology's strengths like storing and processing large amounts of data—has great benefits for our own cognitive functioning. How should we best combine the strengths of mind and machine for maximum benefit? Prensky's call is for digital wisdom—a new interconnectedness between human and technology that is already enabling Homo Sapiens to begin the journey into the next stages of cognitive evolution.

Don't blame the deer
Early results of wildlife testing on California's Central Coast have found that only a tiny fraction of the 866 animals sampled carried the virulent E. coli strain of bacteria that contaminated spinach in a deadly 2006 outbreak. State wildlife officials are hoping the results will take the bull's-eye off deer and other wild animals.
Central Coast growers declared war on wildlife in their fields after the outbreak, which was linked to cattle and wild pigs on a ranch east of Salinas. They shot deer, poisoned ponds to get rid of frogs and tore out trees and bushes. If wholesalers found evidence that deer had been in a field, they wouldn't buy the crop.
But of the 311 samples collected from black-tailed deer, none came back positive for the bacterium. "Wildlife are not the Typhoid Marys some people think they are," said state wildlife biologist Terry Palmisano.

LibreOffice 4.1.0 is Here with New Goodies
LibreOffice 4.1 arrived today right in its projected release window. This release brings several nice new features and probably the most mentioned in today's headlines was the AOO sidebar. Italo Vignoli said this release is a landmark in interoperability because it brings "compatibility with proprietary and legacy file formats to the next level."
In today's announcement, Vignoli said LibreOffice 4.1 is, "not only the best but also the most inter-operable free office suite ever." It was clear this whole developmental cycle that filters and importing/exporting was one of the major focus areas; a lot of work on these appeared in the changelogs, especially on Microsoft and Mac document types.

Based on the Fox News segment below, legitimate Occupy Wall Street (OWS) protesters must eat dirt and communicate with others via tablet. Stone tablet. They must live in poverty and deprivation and possess nothing of value, especially an Apple product.
Here's how Fox's Neil Cavuto articulated the expectations:
We noticed plenty of these protesters who are railing against capitalism on Wall Street. Well, they use use a lot of Apple products. Can they have it both ways?
Continuing, Cavuto noted that Apple makes a lot of money but is not "getting many of these protesters' wrath." He asked guest and money manager Scott Martin, "Why not?"
Money Manager Scott Martin responded the way good Fox guests respond, doing everything possible to keep the discussion headed exactly where Cavuto was charting it.
I've been down to a lot of these protests, and they're using Apple products to communicate, which, believe me, they have the right to do but it's against the foundation of what they're talking about. So look — a lot of these kids, if you will, "bogart" which means borrow or use even, wireless signals of the Starbucks or Paneras around the corners which is at best hypocritical and maybe at worst criminal.
Thus solidifies one of the media's most reliable points of attack against the protesters: That they have things.
The Daily Mail put together a huge presentation on the matter. It includes photos of protesters with cash! Protesters who appear to be privileged college students! Here's an actual caption from the piece:
A man at the gathering wore True Religion jeans, which cost more than $300, while a glamorous young girl came in trendy knitwear.
That man and that glamorous young girl have to be bored trust-fund kids, Rush Limbaugh's broad-brush characterization of the movement.
Money Manager Scott Martin, like a lot of folks who've gone on Fox's air to denounce OWS, sounded scared by the protesters, telling them to "go to Washington" to talk about jobs. "They're in the wrong spots," said Money Manager Scott Martin.
Limbaugh, Cavuto, and Money Manager Scott Martin should relax. America, after all, is on the case. With their pricey jeans and iPhones and their reliance on inherited wealth, the protesters may just prove a bit less likely to act on all of those Marxist impulses that we hear so much about. The government would make a lousy iPhone 5.

AbstractThe knowledge of important parameters for honey characterization is an increasing requirement of consumers and the honey industry. In this respect, differentiation between blossom honeys and some honeydew honeys is still an unresolved task. This study includes the results of physicochemical and melissopalynological analysis of 86 honey samples from north-western Spain. The relationship between the microscopic elements in honey, such as Metschnikowia cells and fungal spores from plant pathogens, together with their physicochemical parameters were analysed. A cluster analysis was performed to differentiate blossom honey samples from honeydew samples. Metschnikowia cells and certain fungal spores were found to be good variables to enable differentiation between blossom honeys and honeydew honeys. View Full-Text
