Being an NBA owner isn't much different: You need a face and a checkbook. The best owners take it much further by becoming the face of their franchise, engaging their fans, getting involved in the community, unearthing inventive ways to generate revenue, then putting that extra revenue back into their team. But you don't necessarily have to do that. You can just sit back, hire mediocre employees and pay for just enough stuff to stay afloat.

e0y2e3 wrote:Yes I certainly got the the NBA is dead, most of America hates it and there is no way massive revenue sharing, a cut-back on contracts/lengths and a franchise tag could fix it.Nope.
Lastly let's not forget that in Simmons continuing laziness as recently as a few weeks ago he was blaming the city of Sacramento for the potential move (which is 100% off-base). The guy is a hack that is too busy being a media titan to be bothered with researching things.
I just can't turn into a whiny vagina like you because LBJ was mean.
One of the best playoffs of all time is going on and more people are watching than ever before. That makes me pretty fucking happy.
I don't give a fuck if LBJ raped me, the chance to watch Chris Paul turn into THE BEST players in the NBA over the last two weeks has been as awesome as sports gets.

Problem No. 3: It's really difficult to contend unless (A) you strike oil in the lottery, or (B) persuade Chris Wallace or Kevin McHale to trade you his best player. New Orleans landed Chris Paul only because Atlanta screwed up and took Marvin Williams, who's being used as the guy who holds back Zaza Pachulia in all of Zaza's pseudo-altercations. Oklahoma City needed pingpong help to land the second pick of the 2007 draft and needed Portland to pass on Durant. Milwaukee? It landed the No. 1 overall pick of the 2005 draft (Andrew Bogut) one year after Dwight Howard and two years after LeBron James. Bad luck. You get only a couple of home run chances per decade as a small-market team. The odds are against you.Problem No. 4: It's really, really difficult to persuade a franchise player, or even a perennial All-Star, to remain in a small market unless you're winning 60-plus games every year. NBA players like sunshine, big cities and tax-free states. If a franchise can't offer one of the three carrots, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy -- like the girl who joins "The Real World" and claims she's going to keep a long-distance relationship with her boyfriend of six years. You know she will hook up with a roommate; you know the boyfriend will come visit and play pool with that roommate; and you know she will dump him at the end of the weekend. It's just the way the show works. Same for LeBron leaving Cleveland. The current free-agency system doesn't give smaller markets any advantage to help them keep their best players. Superstars such as Chris Paul ultimately will play wherever they want. Lesser stars such as Danny Granger will stick around, but only if you overpay them and destroy your cap. You're screwed either way.

I'll borrow a term from Rich's circle of business: Past performance does not guarantee future results. Superstars concentrating on a handful of teams equals an increasingly irrelevant regular season for a growing number of teams, which leads to empty arenas, fewer viewers watching on local cable, and fewer local fans growing attached to the sport. How much of that can you make up on revenue sharing from merchandising and postseason revenues?

If you have an outdoor cat, you may find that one day he comes home to you and has sustained a wound, possibly from a fight with another cat. This can be alarming, particularly if there's blood, but there's no reason to panic. Cats are often resilient animals, and though wounds can cause pain in cats, with quick treatment and a little knowledge of first aid for cats your pet will likely be right as rain soon.
First steps when your feline is wounded
As soon as you notice that your cat has been wounded, you should take action. VCA Animal Hospitals reports that the first effort should be to try to stop any bleeding by applying pressure to the affected area. If you have the supplies, wrap a piece of gauze on the wound, followed by a bandage or clean, dry cloth. It's also best to raise the location of the wound above the level of the heart, which can also reduce bleeding. Do not under any circumstances apply an ointment, lotion, disinfectant or cream to the wound - this could end up slowing the healing process.
It's important to leave the wound open until you get to the vet's office, because there may be dirt, bacteria or other foreign materials inside it that could cause infection. Don't try to treat such wounds on your own - instead, allow a vet to take care of the disinfecting process.
After the vet's office
The vet may leave the wound open even after your visit to the clinic, because some wounds need extra time to heal. The pet health expert will likely give you instructions on how to clean the wound, and typically this will mean using a mild antiseptic solution or warm water to clear away any discharge. You may also need to change or clean bandages to help prevent the cat from licking the wound. Some cats may be given antibiotics to treat any potential contamination, according to VCA.
Preventing future fights
If your cat is frequently involved in fights, it may be because he is particularly aggressive. There are many ways to help treat this issue. Some felines may feel territorial, and if so, it may be time to help them transition into an indoor lifestyle. Neutering or spaying a cat can also help cut down on aggression and territorial behavior.

English Cocker Spaniel History
- One of the largest families of dogs, spaniels were developed at least by the 1300s to flush birds into nets or to waiting falcons. Later in their development they also found and pointed birds.
- Spaniels became specialized by their size, the terrain they hunted over, and the type of birds they hunted.
- In 1892 the smaller land spaniels that specialized in hunting woodcock were designated as Cocker Spaniels.
- In 1878, the AKC recognized the Cocker Spaniel.
- As the Cocker became the most popular breed in America in the 1930s and 40s, and also a successful show dog, the type diverged such that the show dogs winning in American rings tended to be smaller, longer legged, and rounder headed than the original stock from England.
- In 1936, the AKC split the breed into two varieties: the traditional English Cocker Spaniels and Cocker Spaniels. In 1946, they split them into two breeds (Varieties can be interbred; breeds cannot). Only in America are these names used; elsewhere they are known as Cocker Spaniels and American Cocker Spaniels, respectively.
- The English Cocker Spaniel remains the breed more true to the type of the original Cockers, but in America they are not as popular as American Cockers.

- Obedience training is essential not only for control, but for the mental exercise it provides.
English Cocker Spaniel Grooming
- Coat is fairly long, silky, and either flat or wavy.
- The coat needs brushing and combing two to three times a week to prevent mats.
- Hair on the head and ears should be clipped every month, and hair on the feet and tail should be cut every two months.
- Special attention should be paid to keeping the eyes clean and clear of stray hairs.
- The ears must be checked weekly for problems.
- Shedding is average.
Suggested English Cocker Spaniel Nutritional Needs
- Adult dogs should be fed a balanced diet, with restricted calories if the dog starts to gain too much weight.
- Puppies should be fed a balanced a puppy food.

What Americans Really Think About the U.S. Economy
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- You can't blame Americans if they're of two minds over the U.S. economy.
Late last week, consumers saw a gross domestic product number slip into negative territory, to -0.1% -- a possible precursor to a recession, and is certainly not good news for the economy -- and the U.S. Labor Department report that the U.S. added 157,000 jobs in December, with huge upward revisions in jobs for the two previous months.
But consumers aren't confused about the U.S. economy. Fresh data from T.D. Ameritrade (AMTD) actually show U.S. adults are clear that this year:
- The S&P 500 will be higher (55%)
- U.S. unemployment will be lower (54%)
- U.S. GDP will be higher (45%)
- Taxes will be higher (85%)
- Corporate earnings will be higher (53%)
- The federal deficit will be higher (73%)
Sure, as T.D. Ameritrade points out, Americans are bullish in some areas and bearish in others, but there's little doubt they have more clarity on the economy than some have given them credit for.
In essence, Americans are saying the short-term prospects, as measured by their outlooks on the stock market, unemployment, company earnings and GDP (although last week's dip should curb that positive sentiment), are positive. All told, 46% of investors interviewed by the investment firm are "optimistic" about the U.S. economy in 2013, slightly up from the 43% recorded in September.
Over the long haul, though, not so much. Taxes and spending are still big issues with Americans, with large majorities viewing both economic themes in a negative light.
"Investors are growing more optimistic about the future of the U.S. economy, but they're also looking to our nation's leaders for a credible long-term plan to ensure that this recovery continues to gain momentum," said Tom Bradley, president of retail distribution for TD Ameritrade.
What do Americans want Washington politicians to fix first? The survey has answers for that, too:
- Addressing federal spending (43%)
- Fixing the economy (41%)
- Improving political gridlock in Washington (35%)
- Addressing the markets in general (31%)
- Streamlining and improving the nation's tax code (30%)

Basic Bombay Information
- Lifespan: 12 - 15 years
- Weight: 6 - 11 pounds
Bombay Traits
- Lap Cat
- Intelligence
- Ease of Training
- Grooming Requirements
- Shedding
- Good with Children
- Good with Dogs
- Chattiness
Bombay History
- This breed was created not in India, but in Louisville, Kentucky in 1958 when cat breeder Nikki Horner carefully bred a Burmese with an American Shorthair to create a domesticated cat that looks like a small black panther.
- The CFA, granted this breed championship status in 1976.
Bombay Behavior Concerns
- The Bombay is generally friendly to strangers, so don't be startled if he beats you to the door to greet houseguests.
- In interacting with you, the Bombay may make it challenging for you to try to read the newspaper or watch your favorite television show without interruption. This is definitely an "in-your-face' breed.
- Possessing an easy-going attitude and active approach to life, the Bombay can be easily leash trained, engage in a game of fetch, and happily co-exist with dogs and other pets in the household.
- Likes to chat, but not as vocal as a Siamese.
Look of Bombays
- The Bombay conveys two distinctive features: its copper-colored, hypnotic eyes and its all-black satiny short coat - right down to the roots.
- The Bombay also displays a strong round face with heavy jaws, broad-set ears, full chin and Roman nose with nostrils set low.
- Its medium-built body is agile and athletic. It is deceptively heavier than one expects when you pick up a Bombay to place on your lap.
- Even this breed's footpads are deep black.
Grooming Bombay Cats
- The Bombay's no-fuss coat does not require grooming, but this cat will welcome the attention you give it by brushing or running a damp washcloth across its coat.
- This breed is not prone to developing matts in its coat.
Suggested Nutritional Needs for Bombays
Please consult with your veterinarian about the type of diet and amount to feed your cat during their different life stages. Different breeds may have a greater risk of obesity based upon their diet, metabloism, activity and age. Thus, your veterinarian is your best source of information on this topic.
Fun Facts of Bombays
- A popular remark among fans of this breed is if you are searching for a pet with the qualities of a dog, cat and monkey, your best bet is to get a Bombay.
- The Bombay is also fondly known by these nicknames: "Parlor panther" and "patent leather kid with the copper penny eyes."
- The Bombay owns bragging rights of being the blackest cat among all purebreds.
Did you know?
- A decrease in cat grooming behavior may indicate they are in pain.
- Some cat parasites are transferable to humans.
- Many common pet ailments may be detected early and prevented by visiting your veterinarian twice yearly - saving both time, money, and most importantly, ensuring the best quality of life for your cat.

NLDS Game 5: How to Disappear Completely
I'm not going to talk about the game, because you already know what happened, and my blabbering about what moves Dusty Baker should have and shouldn't have made, or the hits the offense didn't get are a moot point. They lost, and that sucks.
But I do have a question: What the hell did the city of Cincinnati do to San Francisco?
Let's review…
- 1982: Super Bowl XVI – Cincinnati Bengals lose to the San Francisco 49ers (a heartbreaking 26-21)
- 1989: Super Bowl XXIII – Cincinnati Bengals lose to the San Francisco 49ers (a gut-punching 20-16)
- 2012: National League Division Series – Reds lose series to San Francisco Giants (after leading the five-game series 2-0)
The lone exception was the 1990 World Series, where the Cincinnati Reds swept the Oakland A's (who are just across the bay from San Francisco). But keep in mind that a year earlier, the Bay Area was rocked by a 7.1-magnitude earthquake during the World Series–featuring two Bay Area teams, the San Francisco Giants and Oakland A's–so it's possible whatever demons are at work here were knocked off balance for a year.
So, I ask you again, San Francisco–what the hell did Cincinnati do to you?
Whatever it was, we're sorry. We give up. We'll do whatever you want us to do, just leave us alone!
(This is starting to sound like the plot to Paranormal Activity)
Do you want me to give up Skyline Chili and eat nothing but Rice-A-Roni and sourdough bread for the rest of my life? I'll do it. It'll be hard, but I'll do it. Do you want me to buy Full House: The Complete Series–on Blu-ray?! Just call me Uncle Jesse, because I'll do it.
The citizens of Cincinnati plead for mercy, almighty San Francisco. You win.

We love ya Cincy, I swear we do. It's the St. Louis we loathe. And maybe Detroit.

Havana Brown
Basic Havana Brown Information
- Lifespan: 15 - 20 years
- Weight: 6 - 12 pounds
Havana Brown Traits
- Lap Cat
- Intelligence
- Ease of Training
- Grooming Requirements
- Shedding
- Good with Children
- Good with Dogs
- Chattiness
Havana Brown History
- Historical records from the late 1800s describe Siamese-like chestnut-colored cats in what is now Thailand, but it has not been proven that they were Havana Browns.
- Attempts to create an all-brown cat proved more challenging than anticipated. Professional breeders had tried since the late 1800s, but did not achieve this feat until possibly in the 1930s in Great Britain. Allegedly, the breed got its start when a Seal Point Siamese was mated with a black shorthaired cat to create the first litter of all-brown kittens.
- Controversy surrounded this brown cat when the British Siamese Cat Club blocked it from competition until 1952 when a team of breeders mated Siamese with Russian Blues and black domestic shorthairs to officially create the Havana Brown breed.
- All North American Havana Browns can trace their lineage to a male cat named Roofspringer Mahogany Quinn from the mid-1950s.
- The CFA granted championship status to the Havana Brown in 1959.
Havana Brown Behavior Concerns
- Have Havana, will travel. This breed easily adapts to traveling in cars, planes and boats.
- Not very chatty. Tends to converse by sweetly chirping and trilling rather than meowing demandingly.
- If you're looking for s cat with a balanced temperament, the Havana Brown is an excellent choice. It is not too energetic and not too docile.
- This breed welcomes the company of children, other cats and dogs. This breed thrives in an active, multi-species household.
- Smart and curious, the Havana Brown is known for examining objects by holding it with both paws.

- This breed sports a marvelous, mahogany-toned brown coat that gleams on a medium-sized athletic frame and straight, slender legs. Its skinny tail is medium in length.
- The regal-looking Havana Brown also wows you with its long, narrow head, oval, expressive eyes, broad nose and rounded muzzle.
- In cat show competitions, it cannot display any tabby markings.
Grooming Havana Brown Cats
- Its short, glossy coat is smooth
Suggested Nutritional Needs for Havana Browns
Please consult with your veterinarian about the type of diet and amount to feed your cat during their different life stages. Different breeds may have greater risk of obesity based upon their diet, metabolism and age. Thus, your veterinarian is your best source for information on this topic.
Fun Facts of Havana Browns
- The name Havana Brown came out of the fact that the coat color matches the hue of a fine Havana cigar.
- A Havana Brown must sport brown whiskers - not white - to be considered for contention at a professional cat show. This is the only breed to cater to this requirement.
- Goes by the nickname, "Swiss Mountain Cat."
Did you know?
- A decrease in cat grooming behavior may indicate they are in pain.
- Some cat parasites are transferable to humans.
- Many common pet ailments may be detected early and prevented by visiting your veterinarian twice yearly - saving both time, money, and most importantly, ensuring the best quality of life for your cat.

Cozumel Island History
CZM Dolphin DISCOUNTS
Travel Tip 1 - Cozumel is a State of Mind
C.J. Gustafson, Freelance Writer and Photographer
There's something about a Caribbean island that is just fundamentally different from the rest of the world. Maybe it's the excitement and isolation of being on a tiny hump of land surrounded by all that water. Maybe it's the sense of community that develops when that many people share the same small piece of earth. Maybe it's the wind in the palm trees, or the surf on the coral, or the impossible blue-green-aqua-turquoise color of the water. I don't know. It's just a completely different way of thinking and being, and you're a lot more likely to have a good time if you prepare yourself mentally.
Take a deep breath, slow your brain, ditch your schedule and lower your expectations about everything from the true meaning of the phrase, "in ten minutes," to the level of health standards in the grocery store, to the quality of wiring found in the luncheria five blocks off the waterfront. Like I said, things are different here. Stress, worry, hurry; they are four-letter words here. People move slower and may not move at all if it's the middle of the day and the sun is hot (which it almost always is). Many local businesses are closed on Sundays. It takes something big, I mean really big, to be considered a crisis. And much of what happens is determined by the weather.
If it's too wavy, the port can be closed and dive and snorkel boats don't go. It doesn't matter that they were scheduled. If the wind turns around and comes from the west instead of the east, things cool down in town and more tourists than usual clog the streets, strolling from shop to shop, looking for treasure. If an offshore storm causes huge waves on the east coast, your dive master could ditch you to go surfing instead. Hey, they hardly ever get great waves on Cozumel in the winter. For me, this is part of the charm of the island, but it also means that you could be in for a few surprises.
The weather affects everyday living conditions too. The temperature rarely falls below 70 degrees and it seldom rains much during the tourist season. So the buildings, even the hotels, are built accordingly. The windows and doors don't need to fit tight, in fact they need to breathe. Roofs aren't made of shingles. Many eating areas are outside.
Typically, you get what you pay for, but I've had things go wrong at a five-star resort just as often as they have at a bargain hotel. If it does happen to rain, your roof could leak, especially if it is thatched instead of tile or concrete. Flies and mosquitoes can land in your food. Heck, you might even end up with bugs or perhaps a small iguana in your room. (Read about my
iguana adventure
But in the big picture, these things are minor. Don't let them ruin your vacation. Smile, listen to the waves on the beach or breath in the salt air and remind yourself you're lucky enough to be relaxing on a Caribbean island. Things are a bit more primitive, wild, even backward, from what we're used to and that's the point. Suddenly things take on a different perspective. It's all about your state of mind!

Software Licensing: Time for CIOs to Take the Wheel
While there isn't much IT leaders can do about tortuously complicated vendor licensing practices, there's plenty they can do to manage contracts and relationships. Instead of being the victims, IT leaders must take charge.
For starters, the substantial number of IT organizations that still don't involve line-of-business managers in evaluating software licenses need to start doing so. And companies must start extending their expertise in enterprise software licensing to off-the-shelf software. In sufficient quantity, licenses for such software add up to enterprise scale.

Unrelated: is it ethical to continue to slash taxes on the wealthy and expect the middle class to pick up the slack? Solving budget shortfalls with attacks on teachers and public employees should be at odds with the Republican Party's public facade of Christian values, "family" values, and representing "ordinary" people. How is putting these people out of a job, or slashing a family's modest income ethically superior to restoring Reagan or Clinton era tax rates on incomes above $250,000?
The comfort that politicians and voters have in spending rich people's money makes me laugh. IMO the real problem isn't that the wealthy don't have enough skin in the game, it is the people at the bottom have little to none in the game. Easy to always ask for more when it isn't yours.
There is nothing getting slashed in Wisco from what I can tell. The health care is before tax and I would guess the pension is as well (I wouldn't know). They are telling their employees they can't continue to take from others to give to them. Maybe they could use their 3-4 months off a year to figure out how to make it up. My contribution level to my health care went up last year, I didnt expect the rich to pay for it, why should they? I don't have the luxury of 3-4 months a year to have a part time job to make up for it so I just bend over.

Skip to comments.'Tragic number': Chicago reaches 500 homicides
Posted on 12/28/2012 8:31:44 PM PST by 2nd amendment mama
CHICAGO (AP) Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy says the city has logged its 500th homicide of the year.
McCarthy issued a statement Friday calling the milestone a "tragic number that is reflective of the gang violence and proliferation of illegal guns that have plagued some of our neighborhoods."
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
The death toll in Chicago would be over 2000 if the homies knew how to shoot.
500 Homicides with 500 stolen guns. What we need are more gun laws.
How many by legal gun owners?
I'm pretty sure that's the sign of a good economy.
Posted this morning.... this is a duplicate. (A search would've shown it.)
And if you factor out just 4 neighborhoods the murder rate in Chicago drops by 75%.
I have been on FR since 1998 and this is the first time I have ever seen a duplicate thread. Mama you should be shamed. Shamed I tell ya.
Excuse me - I did do a search and nothing came up.
FR search is and has always and always be a joke.
Yeah really.....hanging my head in shame. That person can just "bite me". Just searched again using this title and my post is the only one that comes up. I guess I'm supposed to be clairvoyant and search by a different title that I don't know so that I can find the duplicate.....idiot (not you WKB).
We need to ban illegal guns.
Funny and Everybody in Afghanistan has a weapon!
I sure as hell hope not!!!!!!
If I had a nickle for every duplicate I posted...well, you know the routine.
Thanks for posting...I wouldn't have seen it otherwise.
Yeah and they even the evil assault weapons! OMG!
Maybe that's because all these guns are being smuggled to Chicago from Texas?
Maybe the ATF needs to set up a secret program and send hundreds of firearms into the hands of known bad guys in Chicago to see what happens?
The decent and polite people of Chicago would never do anything bad were it not for the seduction of a gun which takes possession of their mind and forces them to do bad things! Yes, that piece of metal, wood and plastic has mystical powers that are simply to great for an average person to resist. Only a trained professional from the TSA or DHS should be allowed with such a tempting and complex device that takes many years of training and experience to fully handle.
DEA professionals:
ATF professionals:
Please don't try what they are doing, this takes years of experience and training! ONLY professionals should handel guns.
Gosh...I thought Memphis, my birth and childhood city (1944),
was the murder capital with 100 per year. 95 percent, if not all, blacks killing blacks.
ROTFLMAOPIMP......that first video is hysterical and pathetic at the same time. These are the "pros" that we keep hearing about that are the only ones that should be trusted with guns. Truly scary.
I believe you...seriously. Happens all the time. I wouldn't worry about it at all.
"How many by legal gun owners?"
I would wager absolutely none.
I grew up in a suburb of Chicago. When I was a teen, my sister and I went out to dinner with our parents on the South Side. My Dad said, "Let's look at the old neighborhood," on Pulaski, where he grew up.
The Poles and Czechs had all moved out, replaced by guys in shower caps, drinking Colt .45.
My Dad told us to roll up the windows and lock the doors. Pretty sad.
I don't know what the answer is—but I do know I want my 13 year-old daughter to be able to protect herself if she has to walk home late after studying in college. There's a reason pistols were known as the Great Equalizer in the Wild West.
I have this debate all the time with my Canadian (anti-gun) family.
In Canada, there was a billion-plus gun registry that did absolutely nothing to stop crime. Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws—and these are the results.
I'm very surprised that it's that low. And, it probably isn't that low in reality. I wouldn't be at all surprised if that "500" number is fudged.
Hi, 2nd amendment mama;
Please see my post downthread—I think it's number 24.
I couldn't agree with you more.
Please don't worry about posting duplicates and the complainers; the mods can fix that—and people appreciate the time and energy you took into posting this. I know I did. :)
gang trash killing gang trash....other than the fact that the taxpayers have to pay for the buriels....who cares??
gang trash killing gang trash....other than the fact that the taxpayers have to pay for the buriels....who cares??
I have been on FR since 1998 and this is the first time I have ever seen a duplicate thread. Mama you should be shamed. Shamed I tell ya.
Happy New Year, everyone! :)
In one weekend!
What part of Canada are you in?
A quick search of the word "Chicago" would've shown the other thread ....
"And if you factor out just 4 neighborhoods the murder rate in Chicago drops by 75%."
Why don't Feinstein and the Chicago Police go in there and confiscate their firearms? I would love to watch that fiasco. Let's see what real gun control looks like in neighborhoods where law abiding citizens don't live.
I want Feinstein to lead the raids...stupid hag.
Thank you for posting this thread — I looked for one earlier today and didn't see it either. So, I was waiting for the thread.
The search function doesn't work very well and the moderators have said that they don't care if you post a duplicate story if it has been more than four hours since the last one. Ignore the whiners, I'm glad you posted this or I wouldn't have seen it.
Pretty good article, I hadn't seen it yet.
As a matter of fact, I may post it again after while. That would sure get certain panties in a wad now wouldn't it?
It seems like Chicago needs some community organizing. I know of a community organizer, and if they can hold out 4 more years...
I love these stories from Obamavilles; can I get a Jamie Foxx "lord and savior" shout-out?
People should cheer these stories with as much enthusiasm as the permanent underclass cheers Foxx & co.
Urban renewal Chi style.
For future reference, the trick I've found is to search for one key word in the article title, like "homicides" in this article's title, for example.
The search is one of several things that needs development here. I hate using Google when I really want to find something.
What an impact our dear leader has had as a community organizer in his home town. He has a track record the scumedia ignores
I dare a lot of these people are not good people (gangbangers).
Some of us hadn't seen it so glad it was posted again.
They hold the handgun like that because that's the way it comes in the box.
I use the search function to find articles that likely don't exist....
Me, too. I don't understand why anyone gets upset that an article has been posted more than once. Who cares? If you've already seen it, keep scrolling. Some people are wound way too tight!
I heard that you have to hold your pistol sideways in Chicago to properly correct for windage.
In NYC, Bloomie takes credit for low homicide rate, yet no one in Libdom will hold The Rahmfather accountable for this shameful milestone.
When the gun free hellhole called Chicago can go 1 full year without and gun deaths by non-police then I might listen but until then Molon Labe.

The Security Pro's Guide To Responsible Vulnerability Disclosure
Since the early days of "ethical hacking" and security vulnerability analysis, researchers have followed a time-honored set of rules and traditions as to how to reveal the vulnerabilities they discover in a way that gives the bad guys as small a window as possible to exploit potential security holes in systems and software. With the advent of "bug bounties" and offers from cybercriminals and government agencies, however, a new vulnerability today has a higher price than ever before.
Technology providers are responding to vulnerabilities faster and more openly than ever, which puts an increasing burden on enterprise IT professionals to respond in kind. This requires increased vigilance, not to mention adequate resources to deal with vulnerabilities.
This Dark Reading report lays out the new vulnerability reporting and remediation "rules" and provides context around the changing relationship among security researchers, black-hat hackers, technology providers and enterprise IT professionals. (S7170713)

Emerging Mobile Security Strategies
Mobile devices -- still only semicontrolled, at best -- continue to push the boundaries of remote access. When users are on corporate Wi-Fi, we can bring to bear strong protection mechanisms, such as DLP, application inspection and threat detection. Once they switch to 3G/4G and hit the Internet directly, however, we lose much of our ability to guide the user experience and protect the devices, and our data.
Still, it's not uncommon to find enterprises with users connecting to corporate resources from virtually any location, using personally owned devices. It's time to adapt your security architecture and control suite to the new reality.
On the plus side, we can add the newly introduced global HTTP proxy in iOS 6 to our protection arsenal for supervised devices. Now we can stop the "split tunneling" experience, guide 3G/4G and Wi-Fi user traffic to established gateways, and bring true cloud protections to bear.

Resin – HUNTERS comes from executive producers Gale Anne Hurd (The Walking Dead, The Terminator trilogy) and Natalie Chaidez (12 Monkeys, Heroes). It is inspired by Whitley Strieber's best-selling novel, Alien Hunter. The series first aired on the SyFy network in the US in 2016.

The legendary editor is sitting in the Midtown Manhattan office where she cut Scorsese's latest, his deeply felt spiritual epic about Jesuit priests in feudal Japan. Schoonmaker sits in between her monitors and those for Scorsese, added about a year ago so he could sit even closer to Schoonmaker while they worked. It makes for a jumble of screens, especially when the one devoted to Turner Classic movies is factored in. "This used to be quite a beautiful room," Schoonmaker says with only mild regret.

If you've ever heard visual effects supervisor Steve Emerson talk about his job, or his most recent work on Kubo and the Two Strings, you've probably said to yourself, "Jeez, I so want to work at Laika." Now, whether you'd want to ply your trade as a CG animator or arc welder is beside the point – Laika's hands-on filmmaking philosophy, nuts and bolts production mindset and dedication to cutting edge hand-made movies is highly intoxicating. And no one embodies that "we're kind of nuts" mentality more fully, nor better articulates its coolness, than Mr. Emerson.

I'm done with you now. It's like talking to my 3-year old when he's throwing a tantrum.
I didn't take any shots at you either, you just got pissy when I didn't erase a quote that included something you said. I cleared that up. You still couldn't let it go, called me a dick, and now compared me to a 3 year old. I'm not angry, but I'm not going to take shit from you either.
You're Mr. Fantastic Fan, or you're not. I don't really care. Like I said before, If you've got an issue with something I actually said, and not something you imagined up, maybe I can clarify.

Acupuncture for Cancer-Related Fatigue in Patients With Breast Cancer: A Pragmatic Randomized Controlled Trial
Source: http://jco.ascopubs.org/content/early/2012/10/29/JCO.2012.41.6222.abstract
Purpose We aimed to assess the effectiveness of acupuncture for cancer-related fatigue (CRF) in patients with breast cancer.
Patients and Methods We conducted a pragmatic, randomized controlled trial comparing acupuncture with enhanced usual care. Three hundred two outpatients with breast cancer participated. We randomly assigned 75 patients to usual care and 227 patients to acupuncture plus usual care (random assignment of 1:3 respectively) with minimization controlling for baseline general fatigue and maintenance treatment. Treatment was delivered by acupuncturists once a week for 6 weeks through needling three pairs of acupoints. The usual care group received a booklet with information about fatigue and its management. Primary outcome was general fatigue at 6 weeks, measured with the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI). Other measurements included the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Functional Assessment of Cancer TherapyGeneral quality-of-life scale, and expectation of acupuncture effect. Analyses were by intention to treat.
Conclusion Acupuncture is an effective intervention for managing the symptom of CRF and improving patients quality of life.

5 Destinations For 'Dark Week' Travel
That's too bad, since they'll be much emptier and cheaper than they were just a month ago.
These next few weeks of January and February are known as "dark weeks" in the travel industry. It's when many potential vacationers have been scared off travel by holiday trips in which 42% of travelers surveyed by TripAdvisor (TRIP) said they expected to be stressed out by the experience. Combine that stress with the cost of those trips -- estimated at more than $1,000 per person, according to Trip Advisor and the American Express (AXP) Spending and Savings Tracker -- and the lack of vacation days accrued by many American workers this early in the year and you get a nation content to take cover for a couple of months.
If the empty hotel rooms, vacant airports and general lack of tourists aren't enough evidence of that early year slowdown, consider the numbers. About 47 million passengers took trips aboard U.S. airlines last January, according to the Department of Transportation's Bureau of Transportation statistics. That's up almost 1 million passengers from January 2011, but still well below the 51.5 million passengers who caught holiday flights a month earlier in December and woefully shy of the 59.6 million who fly during peak season in July.
There is only one month in which travelers get around less, and the 46.4 million brave souls who hit the skies in February paid for their cheap trips in terrible weather and lengthy delays.
If travelers can shake off the holiday trauma and emerge from their winter shelters, there's a chance to save big and stretch out while no one's around. Here are just five places that make for great "dark week" travel destinations:
Costa Rica
This isn't the most expensive destination in the world during the high season, so it's no surprise it's a steal before peak spring travel season.
Travelocity is touting January airfare and hotel packages from New York for as little as $550 per person for four nights, while frozen travelers from the Chicago area can get a three-night stay for $680 and up .
Just don't expect the Costa Rica Tourism Board to lend much of a hand with promotions or deals. They know it's cold up here. They know it's a steady 81 degrees down there. They know the only reason you're not down there already is because you're recovering from the holidays. They're willing to wait.
St. Lucia
We normally wouldn't advise heading down to the Caribbean for the winter, but getting there in early January can save a lot of time and money.

15% of Us Think Tax Refunds Are for Fun
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Filing and paying taxes can be the financial equivalent of root canal.
That is, unless you qualify for a tax refund. That makes it more like another welcome sign of spring, like pitchers and catchers heading to Florida and Arizona or the first green shoots popping out of the ground.
And of the 143 million tax forms filed in 2012, approximately 80% earned a refund .
What is interesting, as Americans emerge from one of the worst sustained economic periods in U.S. history, is what consumers will do with their refunds this year.
TD Ameritrade (AMTD) has taken a look at the issue and concluded that about half of Americans will be banking their checks from Uncle Sam this year, or at least plan on using the money to pay off debt.
A significantly smaller percentage of tax refund recipients will actually spend the money.
Here is how T.D. Ameritrade breaks it down:
- 47% of recipients will save their refund cash.
- 44% will use some of the money to pay off debt.
- 28% will use the cash on spending, mostly on "necessities."
- Only 15% will use their tax refund money to buy "discretionary" items.
The survey suggests Americans have emerged from a half-decade economic downturn with a more prudent, serious view of their own personal financial situations. Now, if "bonus" money turns up, consumers are much more likely to save it than spend it.
"It's good to see that people are more likely to save their tax refund or use it to pay down debt rather than perhaps spending it unwisely," says Lule Demmissie, managing director of investment products and retirement at TD Ameritrade. "We would also encourage people to consider investing the money for the future. Contributing lump sums like year-end bonuses or tax refunds can be a good way to bolster a retirement account." (Note that TD Ameritrade earns a fee if you invest money in one of their retirement accounts. It's still a good idea to save for retirement, but the firm does have a financial stake in its clients doing so.)
Demographically, single women and married men are the most likely candidates to spend their tax refund. In fact, only 37% of single women will save their refund, compared with 56% of married women. Yet 54% of single men will save their refund cash, compared with 41% of married men.
TD Ameritrade calls the gap between the genders, and between singles and married couples, an "interesting shift."
The survey does provide more clarity along generational lines, as younger Americans are much more likely to bank their tax refunds. All told, 58% of Generation Y Americans will save the money, compared with just 36% by Generation X and 40% by baby boomers.

Peggy Noonan (above) has a way with words. No doubt about it. She can turn a memorable phrase with the best of them.
Noonan is the accomplished wordsmith who wrote such classic lines as "a kinder, gentler nation," "a thousand points of light" and "read my lips — no new taxes" for then-President George H.W. Bush.
Yet, for all of her skills with the language, Noonan ultimately fails as a political columnist simply because she too often indulges in sheer fantasy. She's not a keen observer of the political scene. Consequently, her beautiful words and phrases often fall far short ...

NOT as sweet anymore!! what happened to my fav stevia??
Posted by Reviewer1315573 on Nov 04, 2013
Agree with the two most recent posters. I thought I was actually going mad )) But i needed to double the amount of drops in order to get my sweet taste. I don't think my taste palette is changing as other stevia blends work as effectively for me. SHAME ON YOU NuNaturals!!
changed recipe

I've been using NuNaturals Clear Stevia on a daily basis for the past four years and just received my latest batch. Prior to this batch, I've newver had any complaints on the taste, it was always perfect for my morning coffee with no after tastes or bitterness. Apparently, NuNaturals has changed their recipe because the taste is now bitter with a horrible after taste. I have read other loyal customer's of NuNaturals having equal experiences with their new recipe. I usually don't write reviews but because I buy 4-bottles in one order it looks like I am stuck until they're done and used up, especially since each bottle cost $8 plus dollars.

I have had stevia in the powder/ crystal form and it was quite delicious, unfortunately this liquid form was not. Tasted kinda chemically to me, maybe it was just the brand but I was not satisfied.
can't judge
