Wealthy solutions
We all want to build enough for financial security. But knowing how to make your money work at various stages of your life will not only prove beneficial for your future, it will let you live for the moment.
Life has a lot of trial and error to it so it's good to know that building wealth comes with instructions.
The rules are fixed, except those that have anything to do with super.
More frustrating is that the earlier you invest or protect yourself financially, the better - but that's when cash is at its tightest.
The good news is that debt isn't always bad, a mortgage can be your best friend if treated the right way, and super isn't the be-all and end-all for a comfortable retirement.
So what should you be doing when?
Turns out not that much.
There's no rush even to pay off that HECS debt, you'll be pleased to hear.
Advisers say it's a cheap form of credit from the government - you won't get that again - so it's better to use any spare cash on other things, preferably an investment or savings.
Besides, the discount for paying off amounts of $500 or more has been halved to 10 per cent.
''Paying HECS off faster only means you're going to have to wait longer to build up a deposit for a home,'' says the managing director of BFG Financial Services, Suzanne Haddan.
Still, you're not going to get off that lightly.
This is the age to get life, income protection and health insurance because you'll pay a lot more later when you might really need it.
''You're at your healthiest now and they can't take the umbrella away when it's raining once [insurance] is in place,'' Haddan says.
She says a neat trick is to do your insurance through your super fund, so your employer's contribution is paying for it, leaving more cash for you. But salary sacrificing into super is for the oldies, although there is a generous scheme if you earn less than $31,920 a year, whereby the government pays up to $500 into your fund if you contribute $1000 in a year.
But if you do have spare cash, remember the golden rule of compound interest: the earlier you invest, the longer your money is working for you and the better it'll do.
And you should aim to buy a property - if not to live in, then at least as an investment.
The best way to save for a home is a first-home saver account, whereby the government puts in 17 per cent (capped at $1020 a year) and earnings are taxed at a flat 15 per cent.
Both partners can have their own accounts, doubling the amount the government is handing over. The only catch is they come with strict rules, such as not being able to touch the money for a few years, and aren't offered by all the big banks.
You can find a list of the relevant providers at apra.gov.au.
These are the start of what will become the ''debt years''.
Again, there's no need to put more into super but you need to find out which investment option of your fund you're in.
This is no time to be too conservative. If you haven't ticked an option you'll be bundled into the balanced fund, which is designed for 60-year-olds.
Go for growth - that is, mostly shares - rather than cash or bonds. The market rises over time so there are plenty of years to recover from any mishaps. Every five years it tends to do it tough.
You'll probably have a mortgage and have started a family.
''The biggest issue is budgeting. That's absolutely critical,'' Haddan says.
''You can't make money out of thin air, so sit down and do a budget.''
Then see if you can pay off the mortgage faster.
Using the offset account of your mortgage is a tax-free way of saving for the kids' school fees, too.
Make fortnightly repayments (which add up to one extra payment a year) and lump sums to get it down and when the school fees are due, draw down the mortgage again.
Education funds are another option, although they tend to be inflexible and come with fees.
The 40s are when you need to give thought to your retirement nest egg.
By all means build up your super by salary sacrificing - you're only allowed $25,000 a year, including your employer's 9 per cent compulsory contribution - ''but it shouldn't be your only strategy because the rules change,'' Haddan says. The compulsory contribution will increase to 9.25 per cent after July 1.
Negative gearing - into property, shares or both - is an alternative worth considering.
Debt that's tax deductible and invested in a growing, income-earning asset can help build a nest egg.
The 50s are when you're at the peak of your earnings and need to start planning your retirement.
Salary sacrifice to the max and pay off any non-deductible debts.
Also review your insurance - apart from health cover, you might not need it any more.
''To hit retirement with no debt is a badge of honour,'' says Mike Ingham of Obelisk Advisors.
''And it gives psychological relief. But depending on your circumstances, some tax-deductible debt can be fine.''
Prepare for retirement by winding down growth investments such as shares and your super option. This should not be held off until your last working year or, worse, the day after you retire.
''Make adjustments to your super and investments at least five years before retirement,'' Haddan says.
''That way if there's a major market crash it doesn't matter because you're going to hold more cash anyway.''
Calculated approach
Jess Hill enjoyed maths in high school, started a liberal-arts degree, and now owns an online maths-tutoring business.
''Stuffing around is quite typical of my generation,'' Jess says. ''Somebody said to me 'do what you're good at', but I had no idea maths would be useful."
In fact, she had been tutoring maths to pay her way through university.
"I was getting good feedback from parents, and people were saying, why not do teaching? It's terrible to say, but I thought the pay's so bad and you quickly burn out."
But as she kept going over past exam papers, she noticed students "were getting stuck on the same parts of the question".
It made more sense to record the answers and put them online, so she started hsctutorials.com.au. A year on, it is breaking even.
The 26-year-old says she ''kind of enjoyed the idea of working for myself'', another characteristic of many people about her age.
Although the business has no debt because her father, a software engineer, was able to program her website, Jess has a $25,000 HECS debt.
Renting with a flatmate, she'd like to buy a property and rent some or all of it out.
But even with low rates, Jess says she won't be buying a property soon.
''I'd want to pay the HECS off first. And property is so expensive and you only need a couple of months where things don't go according to plan and you're in trouble."
She has started saving, and at the beginning of each month calculates her food and transport bills, and moves that amount over to her transaction account.
"Two weeks later, after those bills have come out and it's getting close, I'll just pull back and stay at home at the weekend or not buy that extra thing,'' she says. ''You have to be good at a budget when you run your own company."
But forget super.
"I know it's important and I'm putting it off, but that stuff is for the 30s."
Building solid foundations for the future
Your 30s are when many of the big financial decisions loom: mortgage, family and even first thoughts about retirement planning.
At 38, Matt Richardson has chosen to invest in himself - along with three investment properties.
"I'm interested in creating my own wealth. Working nine to five for somebody isn't a way to get rich quick," Matt says.
He runs his own IT project-management business, Partnered Business Solutions, and since he began investing in his late 20s, has three investment properties, all of which he's renovated.
He's also just bought a home in Melbourne's Blackburn that he's renting out. In the future, he plans to knock it down and rebuild. That gives him several income-producing mortgages on the go, with another one planned next year.
Matt uses an adviser from mortgage broker Smartline. ''That way I don't have to deal with the banks, which isn't pleasant - you can drown in their paperwork," he says.
A trust has been set up for his eight-year-old son, which has already grown to $35,000.
Matt is also savvy about super.
"I think about retirement every day I drive into work. But my definition of retirement is to be working three days a week at 60."
In the meantime, he contributes to an industry super fund. This is tax deductible because he's self-employed, although he can't put in more than $25,000 a year to get the concession.
He expects his super to reach $100,000 this year and will look at setting up his own fund.
Mature investments for comfortable retirement
Long before super was made compulsory or, in some cases, women were even offered membership in a super fund, Karen Volpato was making contributions.
Call it an occupational hazard because, at 53, she's just retired after working for super funds for the past 30 years.
That probably also explains why the constant rule changes haven't fazed her.
Unlike most women her age, Volpato was making extra voluntary contributions, and built Australia's first website devoted to women and super, womenandsuper.com.au.
At just 23, she was the corporate lawyer of a small bank when the chief executive asked her to set up the house fund. The chief executive gave her a form to sign, pointing out she needed to join the fund to run it.
Today Volpato says: "I'm very glad that I did join, even though I'm not old enough yet to access my super. It's fab to know it's there."
But having officially retired, "a more hedonistic life doesn't seem to be happening yet''. ''Even one hedonistic week would be good, but I've been approached to do projects," says Volpato, who also won one of 10 government scholarships granted to women to undertake training for super fund directorships.
"Leaving full-time work also really highlights how important your friendships and networks are - to bounce ideas around, to have fun, and to feel an even more integrated part of your local community."

Low-Impact Cardio Training: All About Elliptical Machines
Elliptical bikes help you get a challenging cardio workout, without placing unneeded stress on muscles and joints.
A staple in both home and commercial gyms, elliptical trainers guide your body through a fluid circular motion, somewhere between running and pedaling on a bike. Many also offer upper body training-so you can make the most of your workout. Choose an elliptical trainer for cardio equipment that delivers a fluid, low-impact workout.
Consider whether you're interested in the long-stride length of a front-drive elliptical, the smooth walking motion of a rear-drive elliptical or the reduction and joint stress achieved through a center-drive elliptical. Find ellipticals built with large or compact frames that can accommodate space restriction in your home.
Shop trusted fitness brands, including ProForm®, SOLE® and many others.
Learn More About Ellipticals
Your stride on an elliptical trainer should feel natural as you move. Ellipticals can vary in their operation, but every model should deliver smooth, continuous foot motion for an optimal low-impact workout.
Look for home fitness equipment that lets you customize your workout. Modify your resistance and incline for a challenging upper and lower body workout. Keep in mind details like padded handlebars and oversized foot pedals for easy of movement and comfort in your workout.
Make the most of your elliptical with features like built-in cooling fans, bottle holders and vibrant LCD screen read-outs. Track your distance, heart rate and other factors in real-time as you train. Innovative features such as a Wifi-enabled console and smartphone docking are also available on some trainers.
And because space is always a consideration, remember that ellipticals with smaller consoles tend to take up less space. The more features a machine has, the more space it will likely require in your home.
Consider the different types of movement elliptical trainers provide.
- Rear-drive ellipticals are perfect for home or club use. These machines are reliable and deliver smooth action similar to walking. With fewer moving parts, they tend to have minimal mechanical problems.
- Front-drive ellipticals offer a workout that feels similar to training on a stair climber. These trainers often have articulated foot pedals that keep your feet aligned with the motion of the apparatus and provide forward-leaning positioning and longer stride length.
- Center-drive ellipticals have a drive axel that is placed in front of the user. These machines require less space in your home gym.

Online Skim Reading Is Taking Over the Human Brain 224
The brain was not designed for reading and there are no genes for reading like there are for language or vision. ... Before the Internet, the brain read mostly in linear ways — one page led to the next page, and so on. The Internet is different. With so much information, hyperlinked text, videos alongside words and interactivity everywhere, our brains form shortcuts to deal with it all — scanning, searching for key words, scrolling up and down quickly. This is nonlinear reading, and it has been documented in academic studies. ... Some researchers believe that for many people, this style of reading is beginning to invade our ability to deal with other mediums. 'We're spending so much time touching, pushing, linking, scrolling and jumping through text that when we sit down with a novel, your daily habits of jumping, clicking, linking is just ingrained in you,' says Andrew Dillon."

Well, you know… Yes. "Tentative" is the operative word, though. But Michael [Patrick King] and I can't help but talk about it whenever we're together, and as I said, we keep coming up with "Wouldn't it be funny if she was doing this, this, and this" ideas. And then at some point, we start wondering, "Is it a special that we ask to do? Or is it a limited series that we ask to do? What are we asking to do? What is it that we want to do? What do we have time for? What would you be willing to do?" So that just keeps going back and forth. And Michael truly has no time right now, that's for sure.If you don't know "The Comeback," it was a 1-season HBO show that, I guess, was a little challenging for viewers. Some say people had trouble watching the main character get into humiliating difficulties. (Were we more sophisticated back in the 1950s when we had great fun watching Lucille Ball get stymied at every turn?)
Here, buy every episode of "The Comeback" ever made (so far!), and either love it or complain to me about why it really did deserve to be cancelled.
Speaking of continuing great Lisa Kudrow things, the linked article also says there's a possibility of a sequel to "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion."

The total number of surveys returned were 158. 124 were from people living in the U.S. and 34 were from overseas. The majority of people who returned the survey were patients with pemphigus vulgaris. Since the returns for the other diseases, PF, BP, and CP were so small, it would be difficult to make any real conclusions, but in certain categories we can make some generalizations.
The average age of onset is approximately 50. Average age of those returning the survey is 55. The average span of illness is from onset to the present is approximately 5 years.
The questions on ethnicity might have not been clear, but generally – 40% are Jewish females, 40% are Occidental females, 52% are Jewish males and 12% being Occidental males.
Dermatologists overwhelmingly diagnosed PV patients by 63% over Dental/O.P. who diagnosed the disease 26%, with 11% of people being diagnosed by a GP or another medical professional. 5 months was the average time a person was misdiagnosed. Two patient reported going 15 years before a correct diagnosis was made. 26 patients said they were not misdiagnosed.
For all diseases, 21% had a least one incorrect biopsy, with 75% having correct biopsies. The average time of control for PV patients was 11 months, for PF – 8.7 months for BP – 3.25 months, for CP – 7 months.
Between scalp, face, trunk for both males and females for PV – outbreak for all parts were marked in severity – moderate but could work, with the scalp and mouth being the most prominent areas. For PF – Scalp, face, trunk, arms/legs were also marked moderate but could work most often.
During the first outbreak and the introduction of prednisone: 75% of women had a moderate weight gain. For males the data was insufficient. 51% of males and 65% of females had muscle weakness. 41% of males and 44% of females had muscle loss. 28% of males and 31% of females had osteoporosis. 64% males and 74% of females were cushingoid. 41% of males and 61% of females had depression. 5% of males and 21% of females developed diabetes. 36% of Males and 54% of females had thinning hair. 26% of females had menstrual problems and 18% of males reported impotency. 64% of males and 69% of females had mood swings. 33% of males and 61% of females had some interference with concentration abilities. 56% of both males and females reported fatigue with 13% reporting other, which includes: aseptic necrosis, excess energy, fungal pneumonia, blindness in one eye and headaches.
The majority of both men and women did not have eye problems before pemphigus with 49% of males and 57% of females for PV reported having eye problems during the illness. 31% of males and 35% of females reported no eye problems during illness.

A key element of the plan is protecting passenger railroad access into Manhattan, by hardening Penn Station's existing railroad service and providing alternate service to Penn Station for MTA Metro-North Railroad customers in the event of a single-point failure along its existing network through upper Manhattan and the Bronx.
"Our response to the billions in damage Superstorm Sandy caused our transportation system is to build back stronger, better and smarter than before," New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. "These projects build on the state's commitment to transforming our infrastructure, transportation networks, energy supply and coastal protections to better protect New Yorkers from future disaster."
The plan will be submitted to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), which has made $3 billion available for resiliency programs throughout the region affected by Sandy. The New York plan includes projects worth $4.9 billion. The state's applications exceed available federal funding because the projects represent the extensive need New York faces in trying to protect its vital infrastructure.
The Penn Station Access Network Resiliency effort would give Metro-North an alternate means to enter midtown Manhattan if its four-track mainline through the Bronx or the Harlem River Lift Bridge were ever disrupted for a prolonged period. An outage there would halt passenger rail travel in New York's northern suburbs and southeastern Connecticut, with a devastating impact on the regional economy. It has a $516 million estimated cost, of which $387 million is eligible for federal funding.
The River-to-River Rail Resiliency effort would protect the East River Tunnels and Penn Station, used by the MTA Long Island Rail Road, as well as Amtrak and New Jersey Transit. It has a $321 million estimated cost, of which $241 million is eligible for federal funding.
The plan also hardens infrastructure and improves network resiliency for all forms of transit in New York. Other projects would mitigate flood risk at New York City Transit subway yards and bus depots by hardening structures; seal entrances to subway tunnels and ventilation plants; make the World Trade Center site more resilient against water intrusion and enhance Port Authority Bus Terminal operations to provide alternate service during rail outages.
The plan also includes projects to improve the Port Authority Trans-Hudson Corp. (PATH) rapid transit line through Manhattan, the John F. Kennedy International Airport AirTrain station at Howard Beach in Queens and the Staten Island Railway.
The transportation projects being submitted to the FTA are listed here.

No one's pulling the wool over your eyes. You know that to put on quality size there are no real quick fixes or shortcuts. You must train, eat and supplement wisely—not just for a period of months, but years.
But there are also times when you want to look bigger right now. The reason and the occasion may be different for every guy—maybe you're meeting up with an old flame and want to show her what she's been missing, or maybe you're taking photos at the beach to post on Facebook. Whatever the reason, the following nine tricks can help you look 5–10 pounds bigger... instantly.
The easiest and most effective way to put on a few pounds quickly is to carb load. The lower your typical carb intake, the more impressive the results will be. Those who routinely eat less than one gram of carbs per pound of bodyweight will see the best results from this.
WHY IT WORKS: When you consume carbohydrates, they get stored in your muscles as glycogen — a massive amount of glucose molecules attached to each other. Glycogen pulls large amounts of water into the muscles, filling them up like water balloons.
DO THIS: A day or two before you want to look your biggest, eat about 4 grams of carbs per pound of bodyweight, or more. For the first 4–6 hours of the day, you can eat simple carbs like sugar, fat-free candies and white bread. Later in the day, try to focus on slower-digesting complex carbs such as sweet potatoes, whole-grain bread and pasta, and oatmeal. This will help to prevent the carbs from turning into bodyfat. Carb loading in this manner works best if you first carb deplete for three days prior by eating less than 1⁄2 g of carbs per pound of bodyweight daily, then bump up the carbs to 4 g per pound for two days.

Heat Forces Halladay Out Early in Phils Loss
When you see a man as tough and stubborn as Roy Halladay leave a game early due to heat exhaustion, you can be sure that the situation was serious. Mid-batter in the 5th inning, Phillies staff rushed to the mound as Halladay appeared dizzy.
A very rough 3rd inning where Halladay was forced to throw 31 pitches apparently did him in. After allowing a hit to the pitcher, Halladay had the second batter struck out, but the umpire missed the call and issued a walk. That was the beginning of the end of Halladay's day.
The Cubs pitcher, Rodrigo Lopez, did not run into the same trouble as Phillies batters seemed content swinging early in the count and getting themselves out. With only five hits in the game and the only run coming off a Jimmy Rollins homer, the Phils offense did Halladay no favors.
Even with two Cubs errors, the Phillies could not take advantage. And hitting against Lopez, their former teammate , one might think the Phils had a slight advantage. But as we have witnessed too many times this year, the offense is severely underachieving. And tonight, it cost them.
The real shame is that this team could not rally for Halladay, who was obviously very ill. Halladay had not left a game before six innings since June of 2009. The 63 road-game streak was the longest since Walter Johnson had 82 straight road starts of six innings or more from 1911-1915.
There was more bad news today as Placido Polanco revealed that his back is not getting any better. He finally opted to have a cortisone injection, which will surely keep him on the DL for a lot longer than expected.
The team should get Shane Victorino back tomorrow, which should help, except that he will send John Mayberry Jr. either back to the bench or the minors. Mayberry has been one of the team's hottest hitters recently; he had two of the Phillies five hits tonight, including a double.
Game two with the Cubs is Tuesday night at 8:05pm; Cliff Lee will pitch.

It wasn't that long ago that presenting ideas to a large group meant lugging around a heavy projector—and hoping that nothing broke in your travels. Hewlett-Packard kills two birds with one stone, creating an S-VGA projector that uses a break-resistant LED and weighs less than a pound. That's smaller than some laptop power supplies.

It's likely your friend didn't intentionally post this. He/she may have simply answered this quiz on someone else's FB page. Just answering it automatically posts it to YOUR page. It perpetuates itself. Just ignore it.
I've been seeing them all over the place, and in EVERY case, it's because the person ANSWERED it, not posted it! And every time the questionnaire has far more responses than most of my friends have FB friends.

Peeved Fujitsu workers down tools - again
January strikes begin as relations with bosses remain icy
Fujitsu Services' workers kicked off a further series of walkouts at the company today, following a clash with management over a pay freeze and redundancies in the UK last November.
As we reported last month, hundreds of Fujitsu staff took part in a one day strike on 18 December, after bosses at the firm failed to reach an agreement with Unite union members over pay, conditions, pensions and plans to lay off around 1,000 employees.
At the time, Unite confirmed that further strike action would take place on 7, 8, 11, 14 and 15 January, if Fujitsu management continued to ignore concerns expressed by its unhappy workers.
In early December, Unite union members at the firm, which employs around 11,500 people in the UK, voted overwhelmingly in favour of strike action, and warned that stoppages would take place throughout January too.
"Whilst we remain ready and willing to talk at any time, Fujitsu remains a highly profitable company but has to date shown little willingness to seriously address the underlying issues of jobs, pay and pensions," said Unite IT and communications national officer, Peter Skyte, in a statement yesterday.
"Other IT companies are dealing with similar issues in a much more constructive way and the approach taken by Fujitsu to date treats its highly skilled workforce as a disposable commodity rather than its most important asset."
Of course, with so many workers across the nation taking the day off due to the bad weather conditions, the impact - at least of today's walkout - might not be as strongly felt as Unite, or indeed its members, might have hoped for.
"Fujitsu is disappointed that the Unite trades union has decided to continue to take industrial action whilst consultation continues with the elected employee representatives on the proposed changes to the pension scheme," a company spokesman told The Register.
"Fujitsu has taken prudent measures to ensure that service to its customers is maintained." ®

On Unification of Functionality and Aesthetics of Design Art
Design art arises with development of great production in the industrial society. Design art is an independent and creative art activity. Modern design art is not only interrelated with aesthetic and visual formative form, but more emphasizes the functionality and creation pattern of design targets. Labor of designers is both spiritual production labor and material production labor. Works of design art is not only an article of utility which emphasizes function, but is also an artistic article with aesthetic significance.

I was wondering if you guys would ever consider getting any tamagotchi tattoos? I know I am thinking about it right now. I want kuchipatchi on my ankle or my ribcage. I think it'd be super sweet.
I've loved tamagotchis since age 8. It's what got me into Japanese, which I am now starting to plan a career in. I have direction in my life, thanks to tamas. They mean a lot. That's why I want a tattoo. I've had the username Kuchipatchi Love for a total of 5 years and Kuchipatchi has always been my favourite tama.
What do you guys think? Do tamas mean enough to get them etched on your skin?

Story highlights
- Howard Kurtz: Emotion over gun control battle is trumping reason
- He says it makes no sense to arrest David Gregory for possessing a high-capacity clip
- Piers Morgan is target of a deportation petition signed by 90,000 people
- Kurtz says journalists shouldn't be threatened for doing their job
I went out on a limb the other day and said David Gregory should not be behind bars.
You would think I had issued a declaration of war. And maybe, the way some folks look at it, I had.
My defense of the "Meet the Press" moderator followed the much-publicized spectacle in which he brandished on the air a high-capacity magazine during an interview with the National Rifle Association's chief executive.
This was, to be sure, something of a stunt. It made for a great visual. It gave Gregory a prop as he asked Wayne LaPierre whether, if 30-bullet magazines like the one in his hand were banned, "isn't it just possible that we could reduce the carnage in a situation like Newtown?"
Next, as you've probably heard, came word that the police department in Washington was investigating Gregory for a potential violation of the city's gun laws. Possession of high-capacity magazines is illegal in Washington, even if they are empty.
It didn't help matters when the police said that NBC had asked for permission to show the ammunition on the air and was turned down. Nor has NBC's silence on the matter aided Gregory's case.
But let's get real here. David Gregory's only intent was to commit journalism. Why are the cops wasting time on this, other than as a PR gesture to demonstrate that they're somehow on the case?
It's fine to lambaste what Gregory did on the air. He walked right up to the line, and some would say crossed it, of pushing LaPierre to acknowledge that some form of gun control would be sensible. And maybe holding up ammunition for the cameras was grandstanding.
But there is a vitriol in the many messages, tweets and posts accusing me of not understanding that a journalist isn't above the law. On that point, I couldn't agree more. But would a regular person be prosecuted for carrying a magazine with no bullets if no violence was involved? Even the Wall Street Journal's conservative editorial page agrees that going after Gregory makes no sense.
What's striking here is that gun enthusiasts often make the argument that they just want government to leave them alone, yet seem perfectly comfortable unleashing it against a member of the mainstream media, supporting the Second Amendment by trashing the First.
The same kind of animus has been directed at CNN's Piers Morgan, an outspoken advocate of gun control. For no other reason than that they don't like his views, more than 90,000 people have signed a petition calling for the British journalist to be deported.
The petition is meaningless, except in this respect: as a demonstration that so many people would support kicking someone out of the country for purely political reasons, without even the fig leaf of a technical offense.
Can Morgan be overbearing? It was not his finest hour when he questioned during an interview whether gun rights advocate Larry Pratt is an "unbelievably stupid man." He's fair game for equally strong criticism in return. But deportation is way out there as a remedy for media advocacy.
Morgan has handled the situation with humor, tweeting: "Still only 90,000 Americans have signed the White House petition to deport me. That leaves 310,910,000 who presumably want me to stay."
Emotions are obviously raw in the aftermath of the Connecticut tragedy, which saw 20 young and defenseless children gunned down.
Those who believe that guns are being unfairly blamed, led by the NRA, are lashing out at politicians, video game makers, entertainment conglomerates and, of course, the media. To the extent that leading journalists are in the forefront of this debate, they are feeling the sting of that anger. The uproar against the Journal-News newspaper for printing a map of gun permit owners in two suburban New York counties, which I view as violating their privacy without a good reason, can attest to that.
It's hardly surprising that things are getting heated, given the emotional intensity of the gun issue. But proclamations about locking up and banishing journalists deserve to be seen as little more than outlandish chatter.

Wednesday Science Night presents a comprehensive three-part, NOVA special investigating explosive new discoveries that are transforming the picture of how we became human.
NOVA Becoming Human: The First Steps 7 pm
In part one, "First Steps," examines the factors that caused us to split from the other great apes. The program explores the fossil of "Selam," also known as "Lucy's Child." Paleoanthropologist Zeray Alemseged spent five years carefully excavating the sandstone-embedded fossil. NOVA's cameras are there to capture the unveiling of the face, spine, and shoulder blades of this 3.3 million-year-old fossil child. And NOVA takes viewers "inside the skull" to show how our ancestors' brains had begun to change from those of the apes.
NOVA Becoming Human: Birth of Humanity 8 pm
The second segment, "Birth of Humanity," the second program, tackles the mysteries of how our ancestors managed to survive in a savannah teeming with vicious predators, and when and why we first left our African cradle to colonize every corner of the earth. NOVA investigates the first skeleton that really looks like us–"Turkana Boy"–an astonishingly complete specimen of Homo erectus found by the famous Leakey team in Kenya. These early humans are thought to have developed key innovations that helped them thrive, including hunting large prey, the use of fire, and extensive social bonds.
NOVA Becoming Human: Last Human Standing 9 pm
In the final program, "Last Human Standing," NOVA probes a wave of dramatic new evidence, based partly on cutting-edge DNA analysis, that reveals new insights into how we became today's creative and "behaviorally modern" humans and what really happened to the enigmatic Neanderthals who faded into extinction. How did modern humans take over the world? New evidence suggests that they left Africa and colonized the rest of the globe far earlier, and for different reasons, than previously thought.

Point Magazine: Pointe Shoes in the Spotlight
|Author: Jennifer Stahl; Pointe Magazine - Online
Date: Tuesday, September 18th, 2012
Dead pointe shoes aren't good for much. But the Kentucky Museum has decided to spotlight a couple of iconic pairs as part of their Instruments of American Excellence exhibit. One of the sets is from New York City Ballet principal Sara Mearns, the other from American Ballet Theatre's Julie Kent. They'll be presented along with over 140 pieces of memorabilia such as the underwater camera housing used by Titanic discoverer Dr. Robert Ballard, the hammer used by former President Jimmy Carter to build houses for Habitat for Humanity, one of Tony Hawk's earliest skateboards and lab equipment used by Nobel Prize winning scientists.

His presentation will take place on Thursday, Oct. 25, at 7:30 p.m. in Textor 102.
Gourevitch has reported for The New Yorker from Africa, Asia, Europe and across the United States. He has written about the aftermath of genocide in Rwanda and Cambodia, the dictatorships of Mobutu Sese Seko in Congo and Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe, the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka and Jean-Marie Le Pen's National Front in France. In 2004 he served as the magazine's Washington correspondent, covering the presidential election campaigns.
His book "We Wish to inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families: Stories from Rwanda" won the National Book Critics Circle Award, George Polk Book Award, Los Angeles Times Book Award and PEN/Martha Albrand Award, among other honors. His other books include "Standard Operating Procedure," an account of Iraq's infamous Abu Ghraib prison under the American occupation, and "A Cold Case," a novel about an unsolved double homicide.
In 2005, Gourevitch succeeded the late George Plimpton as editor in chief of The Paris Review, where he introduced more nonfiction pieces and a regular photography spread.

April 15, 2009 > Renegades reach 30-win mark
Ohlone baseball played a trio of home games last week (winning two and dropping one) and reached the 30 win plateau in the process.Opening up their week against Mission College on Monday, April 6, Ohlone looked to add to their 11-game winning streak. They had little trouble in doing so, prevailing 9-1.Getting ahead to a quick, six-run first-inning lead, Ohlone left no question as to who would be the victor in this contest. Cory Krisman pitched seven solid innings, allowing one run on four hits, while striking out eight.Jeff Johnson led the way on offense, going 2-5 with four RBIs; Ryan Kanzaki knocked in two; and Michael Ussery and Kyle Holmstrom each had one RBI to help out with the bats.On Wednesday, April 8, the Renegades played a doubleheader against Consumnes River, being on the winning and losing end of 3-2 scores.In game one of the doubleheader, nine innings couldn't decide the winner. Instead, the two played 12, where Aaron Chavez scored on an RBI single by Jeff Johnson.Ohlone scored single runs in the fourth and fifth on RBI hits by Ryan Walterhouse and Cody Foster. Consumnes tied up the game in the seventh, scoring two runs.Ian Hoff got the win for the Renegades, pitching five and a third scoreless innings of relief, allowing three hits and striking out four. Hoff improved to 7-1 on the season; Ohlone extended its winning streak to 13.Game two was scheduled to be a seven-inning affair. It took all seven innings to decide a winner.Going into the final inning, Ohlone and Consumnes were all square at 2.

Dell Reported in Buyout Talks with Private Equity
Founder Michael Dell, who has admitted in the past to thinking about taking the company private, owns 15.7% of the company
By: Maureen O'Gara
Jan. 15, 2013 08:45 AM
Dell is in buyout talks with "at least" two private equity firms that would take the PC company-in-transition private, according to a story in Bloomberg Monday afternoon that sent Dell's stock up close to 14% to over $12 a share, roughly what Toni Sacconaghi of Sanford Bernstein thinks Dell's worth.
The report cites two unidentified people with "knowledge of the matter."
Dell refused to comment on rumor and speculation.
Bloomberg called the talks "preliminary" and said they "could fall apart" if the financing can't be arranged or the potential investors can't figure out how to ultimately exit the investment.
The story said several large banks have been contacted about financing. They would need $19 billion just to cover the pre-spike market cap.
The Wall Street Journal waded in much later saying that Dell has been talking to private equity firms for the last two or three months. It added that they were "serious" and could result in a public announcement in the next six weeks. Dell has been approached by private equity before but now its valuation is enticingly low, the paper said.
Founder Michael Dell, who has admitted in the past to thinking about taking the company private, owns 15.7% of the joint, a factor that's supposed to making going private easier.
The company has about $9 billion in debt and about $11 billion in banks mostly outside the US, a potential complication given the tax penalties of repatriating it.
Coincidentally Dell's M&A guy, ex-IBMer David Johnson, just joined the big private equity firm Blackstone as a partner.
Armchair speculators question whether the deal makes sense or could even get done since it could take $25 billion-$30 billion, making it the largest leveraged buyout in years.
Dell has been slowly trying to backstroke away from low-margin PCs by acquiring enterprise storage, services, networking and software but PCs are still 49% of its business and are declining in value.
Gartner said Monday that Dell laptop revenues dropped 26% in Q4 while desktop revenues were off 8%. Units dropped 20.9%. It's losing market share to Apple, Android, HP and Lenovo.

I don't know a lot about Betsey, but she does make me think. When I'm researching my ancestors I'm not just thinking about when and where they lived, I'd like to know how they lived and what they thought about. For example, why did she wait until she was 35 to marry? Did she have a choice, in either marrying or waiting that long? Remember, we're talking about the early 1800's, most women were married in their early 20's, yet, Betsey was 35. Evidently having children at 35 wasn't a challenge for her. Oddly enough, her 3rd child had the same name as Noah's first wife. Was it a sign of respect for the first wife, did Noah suggest it or was it Betsey's idea? These are the things I'd love to find out. I may be a bit of a geek, but I actually think of questions I'd love to ask my dead ancestors if I could time travel. And of course, they would have to tell the truth!
Some of us in my family are "savers", not "hoarders", because you can move through our houses and we usually know where everything is. I'm glad I have ancestors that were savers, thanks to them we have something I've always called "Grandma's Trunk". It is an old, old trunk that contains lots of my family history. When talking about historical documents, original documents written at the time by people of the time are referred to as primary documents. Primary sources are the most important ones to use when writing or discovering history. The trunk holds many primary documents and I'm so lucky to have it in my family, even if it doesn't live with me. One of my aunts is taking good care of it. Some of my favorite things in the trunk are letters written to Betsey by her children. We don't have the letters Betsey wrote, but you can guess at some things she wrote based on the responses of her children. One of my favorites is a response she received after she must have written something about the time just prior to the Civil War. The person responding wrote that he didn't think the troubles would amount to much. I hope he wasn't a gambling man!
I think that is enough for now. In honor of Mother's Day, may all the women in my family have a great day. I wouldn't be who I am today if it wasn't for you, all of you. Even if I didn't live with you like I did my mother and sisters, there is something in me that I got from all you, be it a lot or a little. Thank you all for being who you are.

I appreciate your differentiation of hoarders and savers. :) I would like to think of myself as a saver! Your post makes me think of the information that I need to set aside for my own descendants and what would be considered valuable. The goal is to (hopefully) not have everything thrown away when I'm no longer here.ReplyDelete
I hope I am a saver, as well! ;-)ReplyDelete
Welcome to the Geneabloggers family. Hope you find the association fruitful; I sure do. I have found it most stimulating, especially some of the Daily Themes.
May you keep sharing your ancestor stories!

I can usually come up with quick ideas while I am doing my genealogy research. I leave little notes to myself in the draft section of the blog then on a day I want to post something but have nothing particular in mind, that is my go to place.

I think Silberman's advice is great, but I'm really interested in the phrase "any of the futile academic debates." I don't think that implies that there were some non-futile academic debates. I think Thomas has let slip that he regards all the academic debates as futile.
ADDED: This is related, from page 238. Thomas asserts that at the time of his confirmation he had no opinion about whether Roe v. Wade was correctly decided:
Until he's gone through that deliberative process on a case-by-case basis, an open-minded judge can't predict how he will rule in any given situation. As for the matter of my judicial philosophy, I didn't have one — and I didn't want one. A philosophy that is imposed from without instead of arising organically from day-to-day engagement with the law isn't worth having. Such a philosophy runs the risk of becoming an ideology, and I'd spent much of my adult life shying away from abstract ideological theories that served only to obscure the reality of life as it's lived.By the way, I believe him when he says that he never discussed Roe v. Wade. He says he was never "especially interested in the subject of abortion." (Page 223.) He never even read Roe until he was preparing for the Supreme Court confirmation hearings. "In law school I'd been a self-styled 'lazy-libertarian' who saw abortion as a purely personal matter." After law school, he "remained agnostic on the matter." It was only when he actually had to decide an abortion case as a Supreme Court Justice that he ascertained that Roe was wrongly decided and should be overruled — he says.

"No two bull markets are ever the same, and gold is no exception.
"During the last secular gold bull market in the 1970s, gold rose from $35 in 1968 all the way to $200 by late 1974.
"Then the unthinkable happened. Between late 1974 and mid-1976, gold prices were cut in half, dropping from about $200 to $100.
"At the time, many gold investors sold out in disgust, never to return.
"But then a funny thing occurred. Gold prices started to climb again, rising from $100 in mid-1976 all the way to $800 by January 1980.
"And anyone who was fortunate enough to own gold at $35 earned better than 20 times their investment in just 12 years.

Demolition along Osterhout Street to begin April 2012
Construction for the Osterhout Bypass along Osterhout Street (state Route 1014) is scheduled to begin in April 2012. The Osterhout Bypass is designed to steer heavy truck traffic off of Main Street in downtown Ridgway. "The homes have received an assessment and some, I believe, have received their payment from PennDOT," said Main Street Manager Michelle Bogacki during Tuesday's Ridgway Township Supervisors meeting. "They will be leaving their homes and then they will be demolished."According to Bogacki, the demolition of the buildings will start along the eastern side of the street [Fox's Pizza].The demolition of the homes is estimated to cost $2 million less than the excavation of the hillside, and the removal of the materials from the demolition of the homes would be half the cost of hauling away the fill from the hillside.Due to funding issues, the project has been held back on PennDOT's schedule multiple times.

The Deerfield Park Foundation is pleased to announce the winners of the 2013 Linda Gryziecki Scholarships. Deerfield High School Senior Alyssha Glass was selected as the recipient of a $1,000 scholarship toward tuition as she pursues her higher education goals at Ohio State University during 2013-14. Mark Stern, a Deerfield High School graduate entering his sophomore year at Georgetown University, was selected as the recipient of the $1,000 college scholarship in the College Student division.
The Scholarships is named after Linda Gryziecki who retired as Deerfield Park District's Executive Director in 2011 after serving the District for 38 years. The Scholarship was started in 2012 with a single category of high school graduates and college students alike competing for the $1,000 scholarship. Last year's recipient was Callie Wilbat. Thanks in large part to the generous support of Whole Foods Market Deerfield, whose 2012 "5% Community Giving Day" generated nearly $3,500 in funding for these scholarships, along with generous donations by Deerfield Park District board members and other individuals, two separate categories were able to be launched for 2013, one for graduating high school seniors and one for current college students.
Selections are based on a combination of criteria including work and/or volunteer experience, community service, a minimum of a 3.0 out of 4.0 cumulative grade point average, application form submission with essay and letters of recommendation, and, for semi-finalists, an interview with a committee of Deerfield Park Foundation Directors. This year, Scholarship Committee Chair Vicki Street, along with other Foundation Board Members Chris Goodsnyder, Ed Seidman and Candy LoGiurato, served on the Committee.
On Monday, May 20, Glass and Stern will receive their awards at the regular Deerfield Park Foundation meeting at 7:00 p.m., at Jewett Park Community Center. The recipients were invited to bring family and friends to the presentation which will be made by Linda Gryziecki. The Deerfield Park Board of Commissioners was instrumental in bringing these scholarships to fruition.
The Linda Gryziecki Scholarship is administered through the Deerfield Park Foundation, the fundraising arm of the Deerfield Park District, supporting programs and services, including: Grants-In-Aid for residents in serious financial need to attend Deerfield Park District programs; projects such as Deerfield's ThorGuard Lightning Predication System, Recycling Containers for parks and park/school locations; the Linda Gryziecki Scholarship and more.
The Foundation thanks all of the candidates who applied for this year's Scholarships, congratulates them on all their fine accomplishments to date, and wishes them all the very best in the years to come. The Foundation plans to continue to offer the Linda Gryziecki Scholarships for the 2014-15 school year. Next year's application process is expected to begin in March, 2014. To contribute to the Linda Gryziecki Scholarship or for more information about the Deerfield Park Foundation, please visit www.deerfieldparkfoundation.org, email: info@dfpd, or call 847-572-2611.

I just got a 7M kite and a free weekend and am looking to head somewhere to check it out. looks like it may be snowing over the next couple days and thought it would be a great excuse to head out kiteboarding.
Ideally I am probably looking to go for the day on Saturday, but if people are going up I would love to either help plan something or just tag along.
Let me know,

It's sad when the biggest hits in a rivalry game come off the football field. But that's what happened before, during and after USC's 28-14 victory over UCLA.
First a 50-75 person brawl broke out on the golf course used for parking outside the Rose Bowl leaving two men with stab wounds and three men in jail, including one on a charge of attempted murder. Two officers were injured trying to break up the melee.
And it wasn't just a bunch of drunk dudes before kick-off. The women in the video below decided to settle their differences it in the stands during the game.
Then there was this:
Apparently from around the same time is this guy getting knocked out:
If you read the site regularly, you know I have zero tolerance for any kind of fan violence. Period. Folks always talk about when something like this happens how, "Someone's going to get killed one day and then what?" Well, two someones almost did on Saturday - one suffering eight - 8! - stab wounds to the back and another getting stabbed in the face. I hope anyone responsible for this crap gets the book thrown at them. Thus, while we tend toward the comedy here at the MZone, I'm not going to make light of
But I will make fun of the knuckleheads in the video below.
Apparently a USC fan locked her tickets in the car and couldn't get them out. So, naturally, to solve the problem, she and her friends decided to:
A) Call AAA to have them come unlock the car.
B) Buy another ticket on the way in from some desperate scalper for $10 bucks (or probably less) since the game only drew 71,000 fans to a stadium which seats approximately 91,000 spectators.
C) Smash the vehicle's window with a keg.
If you answered "C: Smash the window with a keg," congratulations! You are one of the Trojan rocket scientists in the video below.

Tonight was supposed to be about Luol Deng's return to the Chicago Bulls for the first time since he traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers a few weeks ago - or that is what the media wanted anyway.
But it doesn't look like Cavs' Anderson Varejao got the memo.
In a first quarter which saw Deng pick up just two points (courtesy of a huge court-length pass from Varejao), the Brazilian center came up with the play of the game.
Faking a behind the back pass before finishing with a dunk to remind everyone that there was a game going on around the Deng hype.

$1 snap and elastic sale at The Diaper Doc!
View Single Post
Registered Users
Formerly: proudsahmof3
Join Date:

Bon Temps
My Mood:
Diaper orders of 10 or less will be converted and return shipped within 7 days of both receipt and payment, orders of 11 or more will be converted and return shipped within 14 days of both receipt and payment (typically takes much less time than this but I leave a little extra if Im super busy with orders). I keep in stock the matching BumGenius colored snaps, as well as white. All other colors are considered "customs" and have additional fees. I can make individual adjustments for snaps. For instance, if you prefer an equal-sized gap between all snaps without the larger center gap, I can accommodate that, just ask.
Diapers must be clean upon my receipt, I will not convert or wash diapers that are visibly soiled.
My home is both pet and smoke free.
My Disclaimer:
Conversion of diapers can sometimes reveal a previously unnoticed defect upon removal of aplix (such as uneven sewing, openings in PUL, etc.), especially if the diaper is a second and you havent been able to find a reason why its a second. I have nothing to do with this and cannot be held responsible for defects that are made more obvious upon conversion. Snap conversion can also make holes where aplix is removed from the area it was stitched on at manufacture. You can see these in the first post - most visible on the green diapers. These small stitch marks are a typical effect of snap conversion and I cannot make guarantees as to whether they will or will not exist on your diapers.
The actual snaps themselves are guaranteed for 6 months from date of return shipment. If they should break diapers can be returned to me and snaps replaced free of charge.
Discounts and Incentives
I offer a 10% discount for the following (only one discount per order):
*Conversion of 10 or more diapers.
*Removal of aplix before shipping to me.
Shipping Costs and Payment
These flat rates include shipping, delivery confirmation, and shipping materials. Diapers will be return shipped via First Class or Priority mail based on package weight. If you would like to add insurance to your diapers for an additional fee, let me know and I can determine the USPS rate for you. If you choose not to insure your diapers and I/you do not receive them, I am not liable for their loss. You may ship your diapers to me by any method you choose, but I recommend using delivery confirmation. The shipping rates below are for the pocket/cover only, inserts are not necessary for conversion, please do not ship them with your diapers. If they should be shipped along with diapers, you are responsible for additional shipping fees for them to be sent back along with your completed pockets.
Diapers will only be return shipped to the address listed on the paypal account.
1 diaper = $3.00
2 diapers = $3.50
3 diapers = $4.00
4 diapers = $4.50
5 diapers = $6.05
6 10 diapers = $8.25
11 16 diapers = $9.60
17 20 diapers = $11.40
21+ diapers = $13.25
Payment is required via
paypal before I will begin working on the diapers (credit card payments will be refunded and need to be made again with a funded account). Purchases must be marked as a "goods" payment on paypal, "personal" payments will be refunded and need to be made again using the "goods" selection. Once you have decided you would like to have your diapers repaired/converted I will ask that you provide me with your paypal email address so that I may send you an invoice/bill for the work to be done. This prevents slipups such as incorrect spelling of email addresses when sending funds, and provides you with my shipping address. Payment should be made on or before the day you have chosen to ship out on. Your diaper repair "spot" is not guaranteed until paypal is received.
Requests for refunds made within 24 hours of payment receipt will be subject to a 15% fee, no refunds will be given for orders after 24 hours of payment receipt. No refunds on diapers that have been already shipped to me.

Very nice Andy. I do not know if you heard about this but at the last regular season game at Yost, the pep band played the Swedish national anthem. Then, at the last regular season game at Northern, their band played it also.

I heard/read also that the students passed around the falg they had been waving for years and signed it and gave it to him after the game.
I'd also love to see an alternate wallpaper with the red and white of the flag's true colors.

That is the true colors of the flag. Hagelin is from Sweeden not Switzerland.

I can verify that the students did, in fact all sign the flag and gave it to him on senior night during the ceremonies after the game. This was the game that he scored the tying goal with about 40seconds left and the winning goal in OT with just 2.9 seconds left. As it ended up, those three points were pretty important to them winning the CCHA. Several students had Swedish flags that they held up for every goal he scored during his four years. The one they gave him however was the large version that the "hockey nerds" always held up and it was pretty cool to see.

OK I'm dumb.
I thought though the flag the students had was red n white thus beings Swiss?
Maybe I was just always drunk.

Lightning Rod Capsules: Recall - Undeclared Drug Ingredient
Audience: Consumer
ISSUE: Chang Kwung announced today that it is conducting a voluntary nationwide recall of the company's dietary supplements sold under the brand name Lightning Rod (500 mg per capsule packaged in 3-count, UPC 6 89076 20257 2 and 12-count bottles, UPC 6 89076 20297 8), because FDA testing found the Lightning Rod Capsules to contain an analogue of Sildenafil.
Sildenafil is the active ingredient in an FDA-approved drug used for the treatment of male Erectile Dysfunction (ED), making Lightning Rod Capsules an unapproved new drug. The active drug ingredient is not listed on the label for this product. Use of this product may pose a threat to consumers because the analogue may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin) and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. Consumers with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take nitrates. ED is a common problem in men with these conditions, and consumers may seek these types of products to enhance sexual performance.
BACKGROUND: Lightning Rod capsules are sold over the counter as a dietary supplement marketed for male sexual enhancement. It is sold nationwide via internet in 3 capsule count and 12 capsule count bottles between August 2012 and May 3, 2013.
RECOMMENDATION: Customers in possession of Lightning Rod Capsules matching the description above are to return any unused product, for a full refund, to the company directly. Consumers with questions regarding this recall can call 747-444-1843, Monday through Friday 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM PST, for instructions on the return and refund process. Consumers should contact their physician or healthcare provider if they have experienced any problems that may be related to taking or using this product.
Healthcare professionals and patients are encouraged to report adverse events or side effects related to the use of these products to the FDA's MedWatch Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program:
- Complete and submit the report Online: www.fda.gov/MedWatch/report.htm
- Download form or call 1-800-332-1088 to request a reporting form, then complete and return to the address on the pre-addressed form, or submit by fax to 1-800-FDA-0178

For all his struggles throughout this playoff series, Avery Bradley took charge of an almost improbable comeback at the end of Game 6 at TD Garden Friday night.
It started with his jumper with 9:21 left, and he turned up his defense, as did the rest of the Celtics, holding the Knicks scoreless over a stretch that spanned 4:43.
Bradley also recorded a key steal with 7:28 left, scored a layup, made another steal, and hit a pair of free throws before sinking a layup and later adding a dunk off a steal that made it a 4-point game with 3:32 left.
Though the Celtics lost, 88-80, thus ending their season as the New York Knicks won the first-round playoff series, 4-2, that stretch was by far the best Bradley has played since Game 1 of the series, when he had 15 points.
"I feel like the steals fired everybody up, and we just rallied and started playing transition basketball, which is one of our strengths, and it helped us come back," he said.
Bradley finished with 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting with a game-high 3 steals.
"Like I said, I was trying to leave everything out on the floor, try to take more chances when I was out there," he said. "I knew all we could do . . . It was 5 minutes, 6 minutes ago we were down by 20, nobody thought we would come back. I just wanted to do whatever I could do."
Making a point
It wasn't until after the Celtics' Game 5 victory that coach Doc Rivers said he knew he could trust Terrence Williams on the playoff stage.
"I think that would be the honest answer," Rivers said before Game 6 between the Knicks and Celtics at TD Garden Friday.
Williams was key in Game 5, by handling the ball late when the Knicks turned up their defensive pressure.
Rivers again went to Williams early in Game 6, having him play the point guard position. He logged 12:07 of playing time.
Sore subject
The drama from the on-court altercation at the end of Game 5 had two days to cool off before the teams reconvened Friday night.
But it was still a subject they broached before Game 6.
To recap: Jordan Crawford verbally engaged Knicks star Carmelo Anthony on the court after the game, causing a fracas that involved several players.
Self-proclaimed lip-readers alleged that Crawford said something about Anthony's wife, LaLa, who responded on Twitter, saying of Crawford: "Try again. You on the bench for a reason."
Crawford, who denied on Twitter that he said anything about LaLa, didn't play in Game 5, but he checked in late during the first quarter of Game 6 for one minute. He didn't play again in the half.
Garnett allegedly made an offensive remark about Anthony's wife in a January game, prompting a postgame skirmish, with Anthony waiting for Garnett after the game near the Celtics' bus.
Rivers again said the altercation in Game 5 was much ado about nothing.
"It's words," he said before Game 6, with a laugh. "I had one of my assistants telling me what he thought someone said. I was like, 'Oh my gosh, this is getting too deep for me.' I really don't worry about it. There's nothing wrong with a little bit of healthy dislike. But let's just play the game."
Ode to '04
The words scrolled across the JumboTron a few minutes before tipoff: "0-3 is insurmountable . . . unless you're from Boston."
Then the Celtics started playing highlights from the Red Sox 2004 comeback from a 3-0 series deficit in the American League Championship Series against the New York Yankees.
Former Red Sox infielder Kevin Millar, who prophetically called the Sox comeback, was asked by the Celtics to attend Friday's game, he told WEEI. But Millar was unable to attend because of a prior commitment at a charity golf event.
"How ironic?" Millar said of the series. "Same two cities, same situation going on. I mean, you can't make this stuff up.''
After showing the Sox highlights, the Jumbotron showed images of the Knicks wearing all-black attire to Game 5 — a message that they were coming to a funeral.
"When people wear all black and saying it's your funeral — a lot of us have people that died in our own personal lives, so that's not really something funny," said Williams, whose father was murdered when Williams was 6.

Meditation is best known as part of the Buddhist and Indian Yoga traditions. It has now migrated and become more integrated into western civilization including the United States. Research has supported a relationship between meditation practice and positive health outcomes.
A recent study suggests that mindfulness meditation can promote health and cognitive function. The study, published in the journal Perspectives on Psychological Science indicates benefits for improved immune function, reduced blood pressure, and enhanced cognitive function. The authors also explain the way mindfulness helps with our health.
Four key factors of mindfulness are proposed as important to our health: (1) attention regulation; (2) body awareness; (3) emotion regulation; (4) and sense of self. When integrated, these four factors may help with alleviation of stress.

The Dolphins were one of approximately 14 teams to attend Terrelle Pryor's Pro Day workout today. That does not mean they will draft the former Ohio State quarterback in the supplemental draft that will take place Monday, but obviously the team is doing its homework on the player.
That homework is probably just as draining as the long hours and eyelid drooping work the club did on practically every other quarterback that was available this year -- both draft picks, free agents and now the supplemental draft.
The man most responsible for that work, the man ultimately deciding what the Dolphins did or didn't do at quarterback this season, is general manager Jeff Ireland. And he obviously ultimately has decided that he is good with Chad Henne.
(So much for the conspiracy theorists or prayerful fans hoping for a late miracle addition at QB. It doesn't look like it is going to happen.)
Ireland has not spoken with the local media since the lockout ended. He did appear on Friday night's telecast of the Dolphins preseason game versus Carolina because the club and the broadcast company airing the game have that appearance written into the broadcast contract.
And in that interview on CBS-4 in South Florida, Ireland made it clear he is putting his faith, hope and trust on Henne to succeed at quarterback this year. That is ultimately why he didn't draft anyone else and the reason he didn't pay the necessary price to acquire Kyle Orton from Denver.
"We really felt Matt [Moore] was a capable backup this year," Ireland said. "He's had a lot of starts in his career. We really felt a lot of confidence in Chad Henne as well. And to go and leverage the franchise to go and do something else different than what we had here with Chad and his continued development, we just didn't feel like we needed to to do that at this time."
Earlier this offseason, the Dolphins spoke of upgrading at QB and, at the very least, bringing in a player to challenge Henne for the starting job. They did not do either. And Ireland is obviously cool with that.
"You got to know the value of what you're trying to get accomplished," he said. "The great thing about what we did is we threw a lot of faith into Chad and the continued development of Chad. We felt like a lot of things last year were fixable. And we have a lot of faith in [offensive coordinator] Brian Daboll as well and that process is going very well."
So Ireland is on record. He believes in Henne. He thinks Henne's problems of a year ago and two years ago will be fixed. That is some mighty strong commitment.
And it is a two-sided coin.
If Henne is good, Ireland's repuation for knowing his player becomes unquestionable because he made the right call. If Henne is not good this year, Ireland's reputation for knowing his player will have been wrong. (It's never good when the general manager makes a bad call on a QB.)
Either way, Henne has Ireland's reputation in his hands.
