good news. now i just wish that a group does chapters 340 to 345. no good scans came out of any groups. mediocre scans for those chapters. and that was a good fight.
Why don't more people read these mangas?
I don't really much mind the photoshopping quality of what we got right now, so I at least hope you can use better translators than the speedscan releases right now.
We always use the translations of HBK.

Carl Crawford blames media for poor play in Boston
FORT MYERS, Fla. Former Red Sox left fielder Carl Crawford says the media made him miserable in Boston.
Crawford had a .260 batting average and a .292 OBP in two seasons with the Red Sox. But he told CBS Sports that the media somehow wanted him to play poorly.
"I think they want to see that in Boston. They love it when you're miserable," he said. "Burying people in the media, they think that makes a person play better. That media was the worst thing I've ever experienced in my life."
What's perhaps most interesting about these comments are not that Crawford said them; people who knew him in Tampa predicted before the 2011 season that he would crack under the pressure of a big market. It's the Red Sox either didn't realize or ignored the fact that Crawford's personality would be an issue.
The same is true to a lesser degree with Adrian Gonzalez.
Bottom line: With every day that passes and every comment made, that trade gets better and better.

Poppy seed—instead of the sesame seed—makes a great cake garnish, too.
Save time when you choose Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy ready-to-spread frostings instead of making the Creamy Peanut Butter Frosting. Tint vanilla frosting with orange and yellow food color to make a light tan color for the burger bun layers. Use chocolate frosting for the burger.

In the book of I John 4:7 is says; "…let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God."
Love is something that we all have the ability to do and need to share with others.
I love my wife, my children, my grandchildren. But I also love others who aren't blood related to me.
As we look around town, or in a store, or a restaurant there are many who need a smiling face to reinforce that not everyone is evil in this world.
I used to believe the saying that "Time heals all wounds."
This has just not been true for me. As a child who grew up with two alcoholic parents, I had some hurts and wounds that were not repairing themselves with passing time.
In fact, the longer I tried to ignore my pain, the more damage I did to myself. I searched for ways to numb the pain and ignore the damage that had been done.
Not to get all TMI ("too much information") on you, but I have this black spot on my toenail.
When I first noticed it, my over-active, ultra-melodramatic imagination decided it was melanoma and I only had three weeks to live.
It turned out to be blood underneath the nail from the time I dropped something on it. The doctor diagnosed it as an "owie" and said it would take a long time for it to go away, that the spot would grow out as the nail grows.

Tips for Interviewing Potential Birth Mothers
If you're pursuing an open adoption, you will probably meet at least one prospective birth mother. Your first meeting may be full of excitement and anticipation, as well as anxiety and apprehension. If the meeting is being facilitated by an adoption arranger, he or she will lead the interview and ask the birth mother specific questions; however, you may request ahead of time that the arranger include certain questions you would like to ask. If you are meeting the birth mother independently, you may want to come prepared to ask the following questions:
Other Tips
At the first meeting, keep it casual and concentrate on developing a rapport. Don't dive right in to the tough questions, especially those dealing with the baby's father or her parents' reaction to the pregnancy. In addition, refrain from asking if she's taken any drugs during her pregnancy, how many times she's been pregnant, if she is sure she wants to surrender the baby and if she'll change her mind. These questions can and should be asked; just wait until a later conversation. This first meeting is just an opportunity for both parties to put a face to the name and learn a little about one another.
Show her that you're interested in her and invite her to ask questions of you. She may be intimidated and hesitant to ask questions.
Don't assume anything about the birth mother - studies have proven that birth mothers come from all walks of life, educational backgrounds, financial situations, and are pregnant under all sorts of circumstances. Don't assume you know how she feels about giving her baby up for adoption, either. The birth mother may perceive this as patronizing.
Some states have strict rules about how much money you can give the birth mother for her personal expenses and what you can and cannot purchase for her. Excessive money can be seen as an attempt to bribe or curry favor with the birth mother. Be sure you understand the law and what you can and cannot do or offer the birth mother.
Some birth mothers know after the first meeting that they want their baby to go to certain adoptive parents; however, it may take several meetings for her to make such a momentous decision. Be patient and flexible.

I just got through watching Keanu & Rockne on IN, and I'm sad to see the trouble they had, especially Rockne's bobbles here & there, and then poor Keanu seemed to pick up on his problems & made her own. Sad.
Such a lovely beautiful couple. I particularly enjoy their star lift, reminiscent of G&G. But I've noticed that Keanu's matured a lot into a grown woman, and now she & Rockne are almost the same height. All these changes seem to have affected what was once so easy to do. It would be a shame if they didn't make the Olympic Team, their "Unchained Melody" is one of my favorites.
That said, I also watched the couple in 1st place, and have to say well deserved, well deserved, loooooooooooved their Firebird routine!!!!!!!!
Will watch more later...
Totally agree. I've been defending them, too, because I truly believe they are our best pair. They have a quality the others don't have yet. I sincerely hope they come back strong in the FS, so they continue to believe in themselves.Originally Posted by gold12345
[QUOTE=gold12345;449986]M/B's main problem today was a botched death spiral that gave them 0 points and plummeted them a bit in the standings.
Well it was more than the death spiral. That element is not worth 11 points.
[QUOTE=gold12345;449986]There's a lot more than goes into pair skating, and a lot more that goes into skaters' scoring potential. How many times already have we seen D/B skate rather clean internationally and still not score all that well?
Yes, reputation seems to garner points for some teams. And Denney and Barrett are just beginning to build theirs. Plus they are learning very quickly. Hence the vast improvements in their PCS scores. Very well deserved in my opinion.
Today's long programs should be very interesting. I hope everyone skates very well. It will add to the drama and the excitement. I also wish McLaughlin and Brubaker performed up to their potential in the short program. I would have liked to see how close the scores would have been between them and Denney and Barrett.
Now for a few shout outs to teams
E/L in third place that means I should be able to see them on TV tonite! and maybe a kind soul would put their performance on YouTube, then i can enjoy (more like obsess) for a long time to come.
Tanovich/Chau: I know who the are, but I really never knew them, ya know? there was, IMO, something a little off about every one of their element last night and yes they skate kind of juniorish, but boy do they have charm. I literally smiled all the way through the program. And as far as being juniorish, they could have skated to Latin music and shook a taiil feather or skated to snoozy classical music, then i would have probably rolled my eyes and say "look at that junior team try to be mature". I say, skate who you are. If you are a cutie-patootie, then skate like a cutie-patootie
Dobbs/Jacobsen: looks like a new class act. I cant wait for them to strengthen their elements, then i would have loooong rants about them. she looks like a star.
HOLY COW! what a great skate and score for Y/C. I am pleasantly surprised. I still think that they need to put john in a tight shirt and trousers, get some strong music and let him just rock out! The soft/sweeping music just doesnt suit him.
Good luck to all pairs tonight! I always keep my fingers crossed for a non splat fest night.
Actually Denney holds a few national titles in roller. She left roller to skate ice before she was old enough to skate at world class level in roller. My daughter used to skate singles in the same division as Caydee in Artistic Roller Skating. I was always very proud when my daughter placed second to Caydee!
Not trying to be annoying, but if we're looking at this truthfully, their PCS have still been relatively low internationally this season, and their SP score here is very similar to the score they received at Nationals last year. So I haven't really seen a "vast improvement" in PCS. Denney and Barrett have done a great job being their usual consistent selves, but I think their weaknesses hold the PCS side of their score down more so than a lack of "reputation". Sure, PCS can be somewhat reputation based at times, but usually the teams with the best PC will indeed receive the best scores there. D/B's main strength right now is their technical consistency.Yes, reputation seems to garner points for some teams. And Denney and Barrett are just beginning to build theirs. Plus they are learning very quickly. Hence the vast improvements in their PCS scores. Very well deserved in my opinion.
[QUOTE=gold12345;450141]Not trying to be annoying, but if we're looking at this truthfully, their PCS have still been relatively low internationally this season, and their SP score here is very similar to the score they received at Nationals last year.
Denney and Barrett last year at nationals 61.51 (36.58 TES + 24.93 PCS)
Denney and Barrett this year at nationals 63.01 (35.63 TES + 27.38 PCS)
Maybe "vast" was a little strong, but still an improvement in PCS. I agree that area is their biggest weakness and I also think McLaughlin and Brubaker are a great deal more elegant and smooth. However, I like Denney and Barrett's excitement. It is contagious. Also, don't forget Denney and Barrett placed in the top ten at 2009 worlds above McLaughlin and Brubaker.
Both teams have their strengths and I'll admit I am biased because I remember Caydee roller skating when she was six years old. I really think she has star quality. I also like McLaughlin and Brubaker. They have just been struggling with the pressure for over a year. Here's to wishing all our American teams a great skate in the long.
I think Denney and Barrett's PCS improvement is significant. For the first time, their PCS soared into the 7s, with a 7.29 on PE vs. M/B who had a 6.25 on PE. This is the first time that D/B have beat M/B both TECHNICALLY AND ARTISTICALLY. I had to say I was surprised M/B's PCS wasn't as high or higher, but maybe the judges are trying to send them a message.
I don't think a message was trying to be sent to M/B. I think their scores were reflective of the performance they delivered last night. Aside from the major errors last night, they also had a couple of trip ups on steps and out of sync spins . . . these are small details that add up in deductions when they're not done well, as M/B showed last night.
I really thought Keanua and Rockne were going to own this event. This is so sad. I can't imagine their LP which has not been that strong all season coming through for them, and even if they did skate clean, making the team is still a long shot.
I agree with Nadine that Keauna certainly has grown up. While she looks just beautiful, she is a lot taller and more shapely than she was two years ago (and her jumps were not that strong then either). I can see why they moved the Nicks who has experience coaching a pairs team without a big height difference in Tai and Randy but I just don't see this working for much longer. Some girls just never adjust to their new body (like Kimmie) and it is even harder in pairs.
Now if we could just get Rena Inoue and Rockne Brubaker together.....

U.S. marketplace sales reached $7.3 billion in the first quarter.
Katie Evans
The value of merchandise sold on eBay Inc.'s U.S. marketplace increased nearly 16% year over year in the first quarter to reach $7.36 billion from $6.37 billion a year earlier, eBay said today. Globally, the value of merchandise sold on eBay's marketplaces increased 13% year over year, reaching $18.33 billion in the first quarter compared with $16.21 billion a year earlier. The company's net Q1 revenue increased 14% compared with the same period last year.
"We had a strong first quarter, with accelerating user growth across both marketplaces and PayPal, and with GSI enabling their retail clients to grow faster than e-commerce," says John Donahoe, eBay president and CEO. "Technology is creating a commerce revolution, and we are in the forefront with strong mobile leadership and a focus on helping retailers and brands engage consumers anytime, anywhere." PayPal is eBay's payment service. GSI Commerce is a unit of eBay that provides e-commerce technology and services to hundreds of retailers.
New mobile users helped drive growth, eBay says. EBay's apps, including those for marketplaces and PayPal, have been downloaded 162 million times since the first was launched third quarter of 2008. EBay gained approximately 2.8 million new customers in Q1 through mobile devices, helping driving double-digit growth in active mobile users at both PayPal and marketplaces, eBay says.
EBay's U.S. marketplace sales growth outpaced international. The value of goods sold on eBay's international marketplaces grew 11% to $10.96 billion compared to $9.84 billion a year earlier. EBay announced at its Analyst Day late last month that it plans to put a strong focus on growing international sales, particularly in emerging markets such as Brazil, Russia, India and China, or BRIC markets. EBay said it expects BRIC and other emerging markets where eBay doesn't have a local presence to account for as much as 25% of eBay marketplaces' global active users and 12% of its global sales by 2015. In 2012, consumers in those countries spent $3.2 billion on eBay marketplaces, 4.3% of eBay's global gross merchandise value. EBay forecasts the regions will drive as much as 40% of its new active users over the next three years.
Donahoe told analysts that the Russian-language site eBay launched in March is off to a good start. "I will say the first couple of weeks since our Russian site launch, we've had strong acceleration of new users," Donahoe said, according to a transcript provided by SeekingAlpha. "And those new users are beginning to buy. So still early days. It only launched a couple of weeks ago, but it's a market that we like a lot."
For the first quarter ending March 31, eBay reported:
EBay released its earnings report after stock markets closed this afternoon. In after-hours trading soon after the release the company's stock was down nearly 3%.
"The eBay marketplace has improved and is now growing at average e-commerce rates," Colin Sebastian, an analyst for private equity firm Robert W. Baird & Co writes in his analysis on eBay's earnings. Online retail sales increased 15.8% in 2012 over the prior year, according to the U.S. Commerce Department. Indeed, eBay did much to bring buyers back to its marketplace last year, including redesigning its site, making it cleaner and easier to navigate, updating its logo, and introducing new buyer protections.
As part of those changes, eBay added a "My feed" section that shows shoppers products it thinks they may like based on their buying and search histories, as well as interests that eBay prompts them to share when they first visit ebay.com/feed. That move is one of a series of recent steps by eBay to take on Amazon.com Inc. more aggressively, as Amazon has long been known to excel at personalization.
EBay also came out with new fee structures and better seller protections earlier this year in another attempt to gain an edge over its biggest rival. That announcement aimed to make the case that it's a better deal to sell on eBay than Amazon.com and drove home the message that eBay doesn't sell items on its own like Amazon, so it will never compete with sellers. "EBay's core marketplace faces strong competition from Amazon, which is growing at a faster rate," Sebastian says in his report. "However eBay does have a different model and the customer base does not entirely overlap with Amazon."
Sebastian also echoes Donahoe's statements that mobile commerce is one of eBay's strong points. "EBay is an early leader in mobile commerce," Baird says. "Along with PayPal, the eBay marketplace is in an advantaged position to benefit from rapid growth in mobile, leveraging recent acquisitions that connect local store inventory with eBay's robust online platform." Those acquisitions include Milo, which shows consumers products available in local stores and RedLaser, a mobile price-comparison app.
Scot Wingo, a long time eBay observer and CEO of ChannelAdvisor, which helps merchants sell on eBay and Amazon as well as through other online channels, notes on his blog that the bulk of eBay's new active users in Q1 first accessed eBay from mobile devices. EBay added 3.9 million new users between Q4 and Q1, and 2.8 million came from mobile, he says. In other words 1.1 million new users or 28% were computer users and 2.8 million or 72% came from mobile devices. "That's quite impressive, and hopefully if eBay can keep these new buyers engaged, they will increase their buying over the next year," Wingo says
PayPal, meanwhile, which has been one of eBay's strongest businesses in recent years, is also poised for growth, Sebastian says. "Benefiting from strong network effects and an early leadership position, PayPal is, in our view, a juggernaut in online payments, with a defensible position in an attractive and fast-growing market," he says. Sebastian adds that steps eBay has taken to expand PayPal transactions, such as adding PayPal as a payment option at checkout in stores, are moving forward. Consumers can pay using PayPal in 20,000 stores, he says.

HydroSHEDS' Future
With global coverage and continued refinements, Lehner hopes that future releases of HydroSHEDS will serve a wide variety of scientific and practical applications. For example, biologists sampling fish species often use GPS (Global Positioning System) coordinates to locate habitats on maps. If their maps aren't completely accurate, they might place fish in the wrong water body. That could be a serious problem if, for example, they are trying to identify rivers that support populations of threatened or endangered species. When the scientists Lehner worked with wondered whether this problem could be solved, he recalls, "Everyone said, 'Not really. We don't have good enough maps.' But now they suddenly do." Using HydroSHEDS, conservation biologists can pinpoint species habitats with unprecedented accuracy.
One of the scientists eager to see HydroSHEDS cover the globe is Ned Gardiner of the American Museum of Natural History, who wrote a user guide for the product. Working with the museum's ichthyology (fish) department, Gardiner plans to use HydroSHEDS in his own research on Africa's Congo River. "We're looking at the evolutionary history of species," he explains. "We know that every time we go back there, we find more fishes that seem to only be found in the Congo. There used to be a giant inland lake in Africa's interior during the Pleistocene, but eventually the lake was captured by rivers draining to the coast." All the fishes that evolved in the lake environment radiated into river environments over time. Though geographically separated now, they share common ancestry. Once HydroSHEDS maps for the Congo become available, museum scientists will use them to analyze river networks in conjunction with DNA data about fishes to trace their evolutionary history.
HydroSHEDS digital maps are a big step up in accuracy, completeness, and consistency for scientists and natural resource managers, but Lehner is the first to acknowledge their limitations. One is that, in pinpointing river channels based on elevation, HydroSHEDS may see rivers where there are none. In other words, it identifies potential river channels. "In a dry region like the Sahara, I still get rivers," he explains. The product also uses vertical exaggeration. "If I detected something that looked like a valley, I lowered it, which is bad for true elevation but great for keeping the water in the channel." To determine where channels are actually flowing with water and where they may simply be dry streambeds, the HydroSHEDS maps can be layered with other data sets, such as precipitation and soil moisture. But Lehner hopes that future releases of HydroSHEDS will contain data on actual water, in addition to water channels.
Since starting the development of HydroSHEDS, Lehner has moved on to a professorship at McGill University, but he still works closely with Abell and others at World Wildlife Fund, which will be developing the maps for the rest of the globe.
Yet biodiversity isn't Lehner's only interest. Human water use interests him, too. According to the United Nations Environment Programme, two out of every three people may live under water-stressed conditions by 2025. As input to hydrological models, HydroSHEDS can inform decisions about human water use as well as wildlife. "At World Wildlife Fund, focus was stronger on the environment," Lehner says, "but I don't think I ever lost track of humans. I think they're very equal."

Had the unit since 7/2011 and it worked for 1 1/2 years and now the humidity is about 70-80% using the same setting which use to show 40%. The unit has condensate around the outside housing at the front end away from the filter and leveling device. Had my installer check the unit last month without any success. Can't tell if the unit is working? I tried running it in both auto and on modes without any changes.

The Superbowl meal must be manly: salty, spicy, and crunchy, and full of starch and fat. Don't even coming near the tv room with your strawberry yogurt or your cleansing green juice. You will be tackled! (Or poked with a knitting needle.)
I'm planning a barbecue-themed meal: I'll finally try those infamous Crash Hot Potatoes (with so much oil and salt, how could they not be terrific?), and I'll sauté garlic and kale. For the main dish, I'm going to cube and fry some extra-firm tofu, then simmer it a finger-licking, pan-scraping, hot, sweet, and tangy barbecue sauce.
My stove is old; don't judge.
This recipe comes from The Whole Foods Market Cookbook; I've made it vegan by replacing honey with brown sugar. The list of ingredients is a little long, but the method couldn't be simpler. Give it a try; it's better than anything you'll find in a bottle.
Brown Sugar Jalapeño Barbeque Sauce
(adapted from The Whole Foods Market Cookbook)
1 cup + 3 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup dijon mustard
1/4 cup minced jalapeño pepper (canned is easiest here)
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon curry powder
1½ teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon hot sauce (I use Frank's RedHot)
1 teaspoon soy sauce (gluten-free, if necessary)
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon canla oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Stir together all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a low simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Sauce will thicken and turn a deep red-brown. Makes 2 cups.

Posted on 04/29/2013 3:29:17 PM PDT by Perdogg
At least four career officials at the State Department and the Central Intelligence Agency have retained lawyers, or are in the process of doing so, as they prepare to provide sensitive information about the Benghazi attacks to Congress, Fox News has learned.
Victoria Toensing, a former Justice Department official and Republican counsel to the Senate intelligence committee, is now representing one of the State Department employees. She told Fox News her client and some of the others, who consider themselves whistleblowers, have been threatened by unnamed Obama administration officials.
(Excerpt) Read more at gretawire.foxnewsinsider.com ...
Obama did say he would side with the Muslims.
Ironic that Hanoi Jane is in the news. Anyone besides me thing that these brave souls will end up victims of the Hanoi GOP when they (GOP)sell them (whistleblowers) out?
Unnamed Obama admin officials? Has it come to this? Now you not only don't need a birth certificate, you don't need a name?
At least, anyone whose had their "thinking hat" on, knows that the usurper has threatened anyone who dare to question his Constitutional eligibility to be the Commander in Chief to begin with. Let alone, carry out all of the subsequent subversion/destruction/lies and other unconstitutional acts.
They don't need lawyers, they need 24/7/365 protection that can't be bought out by the other side.
I'd suggest some retired SEALs.
The noose is tightening.
Yo, POSHITUS, how does the de-coup d'tat feel for ya?
Why can't these witnesses testify before the House Select Committee on Intelligence? Surely the members and staff must already have clearances that enable them to discuss Benghazi or whatever they want. Otherwise, why have the committee at all?
What's wrong with selecting a lawyer who already has such a clearance?
Since this orginated with FNC the MSM will ignore it.....at their peril, once the hearings begin.
impeach for dereliction of duty.
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
Good for them. I understand testimony is being held up because State won't process their attorneys security clearances. Security clearances are routine in cases like this. Victoria Toensing, who represents someone, has been complaining about this.
Testify without representation? They're not stupid, and there's no reason for their attorneys not to be cleared.
Why cant these witnesses testify before the House Select Committee on Intelligence? Surely the members and staff must already have clearances that enable them to discuss Benghazi or whatever they want. Otherwise, why have the committee at all?
And that should be enough, Ventrell said at Mondays press briefing. Congress has its own prerogatives, but weve had a very thorough, independent investigation, which we completed and [which was] transparent and shared. And there are many folks who are, in a political manner, trying to sort of use this for their own political means, or ends.
According to an article I read elsewhere, the attorney already has a TS clearance. But, that doesn't mean she is "read in" to the program in question.
Although the same federal agency does all clearance investigations, every sponsoring federal agency has their own set of requirements for a given clearance level. And especially at the TS level, individual programs can have additional requirements.
If someone already meets the requirements, it's just a matter of making the request. But, the program sponsor has to make or approve the request. And, it looks like the State Dept. is being passive aggressive to deny these whistleblowers access to independent counsel.
I emphasized independent for a reason: the only lawyers with the necessary clearance are probably already working for the State Dept. And frankly, I wouldn't want them representing me.
This is one you really must click on the link to read the article.
Greta, please don't let the traitorous b*stards slip under the radar. Thank you for publishing this story on your blog. It's a great start.
Does anyone expect otherwise with the Obama Administration - obsufucate, block, intimidate and refuse the sun shine on the truth. Next the Obama administration will strive to kill the people. Watch Obama have a temper tantrum! Obama will not finish his 2nd term, and Joe Biden will be implicated too. Get ready for President John Boehner - another first president and vice president having to give up the office as both are guilty of treason and other high crimes and misdemeanors. Watch the stock market go to heck for a time.
Well, this will torpedo Hillary's 2016....looks like the battle for the Dem nomination will be between Biden, Cuomo, O'Malley, and Villagarossa..geez..almost makes one long for Carter..
I pray there will not be an Arkincide befall any of those Benghazi witnesses nor their families.
Benghazi bump for later.....
Of course they are being threatened. The lies are going to be exposed and its not going to be pretty.
"We've investigated ourselves and we're all good".
It only took 2 days for Obumbles to find a lawyer for the Boston Bomber, but for careerists in the CIA and State Department nada.
I'm sorry this got moved out of breaking news and into the bloggers/personal section.
Whether or not it's breaking news, a story this big breaking on Greta Van Susteren's official Fox News blog at least belongs on the main page.
I hope the sidebar mod might reconsider this decision.
This article was written by Fox News' James Rosen. If we're the anti-MSM, this is news, and should be front and center.
here is the same article on the Foxnews webpage:
Good job. It looks like breaking news material to me, but at least front page news by any measure, I'd think.
...and it's now in News/Activism. Thanks, Moderator
Thank you!
Bring this bastard DOWN!
Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.
Because that is all congress is good for - forming committees and having meaningless hearings.
Seems like I recall that Obama did some executive order lifting some of the whistleblower protections awhile back....???
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Nice catch!
That he did and it is going to come back to bite him like a pit bull on a rampage.
Obama vs. the CIA. This could get pretty interesting. I wonder what the level loyalty within the CIA is to each other, vs. to the current administration? Are they going to cover for him when he let some of theirs die?
it stuns me how hypocritical and stupid the left are.
They know damn well if a republican had said this and had acted like this with concerts, going to bed when Americans were under attack, going to Vegas, having fancy dinners and fast and furious then they would be all over this but because this is their guy then it's alright in their minds.
This would have been playing 24/7 but because b0zo the clown states this then they all shut up in the media
Obama vs. the FBI now, too.
We have to keep up the pressure, keep the information coursing.

Downtown Johnson City members get construction updates
Parts of Buffalo Street closed for two weeks starting Monday
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - There is a lot of construction going on around downtown Johnson City.
"There is going to be a lot of activity that will occur in downtown in the next couple months," said public works director Phil Pindzola.
A public forum was held Friday to update downtown business owners and residents about the projects.
The design for the new Farmer's Market should be ready in six to eight weeks. It will include an open shed that will house about 60 stalls and the plan will also add more parking.
Pindzola said it will be used about two to three times a week and then possibly more in the future depending on popularity and events. "The goal is to get more people downtown," Pindzola said. "We don't' know for sure how big the Farmer's Market needs to be."
Across the street, the Founder's Park is scheduled to be complete in September including a new creek, waterfalls, lawn and theater. As part of that project, Lamont Street will be redone, along with more parking.
The Lady of the Fountain Plaza will be dug up. Pindzola said they are looking for public input on the project including a new theme. He wants to expand the green space.
As far as downtown 'streetscape,' permeable pavers and an island are being installed on Buffalo Street. As part of the city's plan to prevent flooding, crews will be installing drain pipes starting on Monday. Parts of the street will be closed for about two weeks.
Speaking of flooding, buildings have been torn down on the Boone Street lot so work can begin on the retention pond. Crews are still working on a design, which could include a winter ice skating rink.
The Washington County Economic Development Council estimates the projects will cost more than $5 million to complete.

Oilers 11th: THN jumps the gun
Robin Brownlee
August 10 2009 10:53PM
Apparently, being first means being best because with training camp still several weeks away, The Hockey News is picking the Edmonton Oilers to finish 11th in the Western Conference.
Now, I'm not convinced the Oilers are a playoff team this coming season, but picking them, or any other team for that matter, to finish in a particular spot seems just a tad premature, don't you think? Maybe wait until, what, the first week of September? Or until preseason? What's the hurry, THN?
Anyway, here's what they've written about the Oilers:
11. Edmonton Oilers
"Why: One old goalie has been swapped for another, but it's the same cast of skaters who've missed the playoffs for the past three seasons after the '06 Cup run. The new two-headed coaching monster in Pat Quinn and Tom Renney could provide gains, but the Oilers are still far off the West's A-list."
This dire projection is part of a Western Conference preview in which THN pegs Phoenix 15th, Colorado 14th, Minnesota 13th and Los Angeles 12th. The top 10 is yet to come.
There, you have it.
What's the rush?
I used to think it was nuts when my sports editor would inform me that the deadline for the obligatory pre-season NHL supplement -- that's newspaper talk for an attempted advertising cash grab that always stiffs at the till -- was three days before teams made their final cuts. While convenient for the ad guys, it did nothing for accuracy, especially in seasons when there were a number of players on the bubble and difficult decisions to make.
The way I see it, THN takes that to an even more extreme degree by picking the Oilers to finish 11th, or fifth or sixth for that matter, before the middle of August.
What, GM Steve Tambellini can't substantially change the face of this team in the next month? I'm not saying he will -- Dany Heatley isn't about to change his mind and there's nothing on the table with anybody else right now -- but to preclude the possibility he might seems goofy to me. No?
Just asking
What kind of shape will Dustin Penner be in when camp opens? Will Pat Quinn and Tom Renney light a fire under him or will PDP be back at the buffet table and in the doghouse by mid-October?
Will Patrick O'Sullivan be better with a camp here under his belt? Where will Andrew Cogliano play? Who'll play together on the second line? Will Lubomir Visnovsky be healthy when the season opens? Tom Gilbert?
I don't know the answers to those questions right now and neither does THN, so how do they come up with 11th? Likewise, will Tambellini stand pat between now and the season-opener? Same answer.
If I recall correctly, THN had the Oilers finishing sixth last season, and they made that call about this time a year ago. How'd that work out?
If it's all the same to you, I think I'll wait a month or so until I get some answers to the questions we're all asking. Predictions are a guess at the best of times, but there's educated guesses and August guesses.
I'll take the former every time.

It's so easy, even a Flames Defenseman can do it!
@ Robin Brownlee:
I am just curious on your opinion of making predictions at anytime?
Do you just not like making them in August? If that is the case - is our team (or any team) going to have a much different look then after TC closes?
It is not like there are a ton of game-breaking UFAs still out there that are going to change the make-up of any club?
Barring any trades (which can happen at anytime - not just in August) making a prediction now seems just as safe as making in in early October? Doesn't it?

I don't know Robin, last year when Tambellini came in he said he would evaluate the team in November, then he did nothing. The trade deadline came and granted he made a couple moves but it the context of no follow up moves they have to be classified as head scratchers. The draft came…nothing, free agency…nothing, August is here…nothing
It's not for lack of trying....
How many of the UFAs that signed elsewhere do you think even considered coming here?
I don't think it is for you (or anyone) to determine if Tambellini is just sitting back and content with his roster.
Unless you have his cell phone bill and know that he hasn't been shopping around - I think you should give him the benefit of the doubt?
He addressed 2 of our 3 biggest concerns (coaching and goaltending). It's not his fault Heatley messed up one of the greatest trades in Oiler history....

Although you make a good, logical, point RB of specifying how the opinions stated in THN can only be partially developed, at best, and are oozing money grab for very little substance.. how can you argue with what they said... one old goalie for another.. same scrubs (and kids).. same results!?!... 'unless' the coaching magically pulls them outa the gutter...
This is a team that will do better when expectations are low, wheras last years over estimation left them feeling like failures. This team has been crap for three years counting (going by the standings), but these kids have been doing a heck of a job 'trying' to contribute good things and right the ship... This is what they will get credit for, when the time comes that they do step up and wipe their asses with the trash printed from the likes of THN (and the remaining previews that will undoubtedly follow suit)...

Or Penner shows up in shape. Or Tambellini makes a move. Or . . . Didn't argue with what little they said, but it's incomplete. Is the concept that there will be more information available a month from now, and that it'll be possible to get a better read once the team is actually on the ice, up to question? Is everybody so bored that we need to debate the obvious? Apparently.
August 11 2009, 09:55PM
Hey Henny Penny, is the sky falling? Have patience. If the Oil play with more grit this year, they are a playoff team in my opinion. Last years roster was over rated and this years roster is under rated. We were a playoff team for 2/3s of the year last season. I don't want to put too much emphasis on the coaching change, but I heard it from Carl at work that Pat Quinn can walk on water. Division crown? Plus we got rid of the cancer Brodziak! That dude had a tude. Uppity Vegrevillians!

Geez I don't seem to recall where I suggested that Tambellini was content.
I was pointing out that he has actually done very little and of the few moves he did make, there is ample room to question why.
You can come up with any reason you like for why it's difficult for him to do anything but then again isn't that exactly what separates some of the better GM's from the ones that leave you wanting? The ability to get past the difficulties and get done what has been determined a necessity?
11th place that is being nice to this laughable bunch 14th is about as good as it gets oh wait big news smid signed maybe 15th.

Other than that, you're off to a flying start.

Appologies Mr. Brownlee, thought it measured up well with our laughing stock hockey club.
August 12 2009, 10:58PM
You have the Oilers confused with Phoenix and Tampa Bay. I'm not sure if you're serious in terms of being so pessimistic, but I don't see a reason to be picking this team to finish lower than it did last season.
There are holes, to be sure, but to throw up your hands in frustration expecting 14th or 15th place is negative in the extreme. I don't see any improvement in terms of personnel, but even if the roster doesn't change between now and the start of the season -- it will -- I don't see the hopeless picture you do.

Now that the San Jose deal appears to be off for now, is there any chance Heatley re-thinks his Alberta option rather than tuck tail and go back to Ottawa?
Not big on kicking this assumed dead horse but i'm going to anyways..... alot could happen to change the fortunes of this team even if he came here for two years of the 5 he has left on his contract (just assuming if things don't go well he'll want out of here too)
thank you for your time sir.

Bankruptcy Boundary Games
David A. Skeel Jr.
University of Pennsylvania Law School; European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI)
Brooklyn Journal of Corporate, Financial & Commercial Law, Vol. 4, p. 1, 2009
U of Penn, Inst for Law & Econ Research Paper No. 09-25
For the past several decades, Congress has steadily expanded the exclusion of securities market operations from core bankruptcy protections. This Article focuses on three of the most important of these issues: the exclusion of brokerage firms from Chapter 11; the protection of settlement payments from avoidance as preferences or fraudulent conveyances; and the exemption of derivatives from the automatic stay and other basic bankruptcy provisions. In Parts I, II and III of the Article, I consider each of the issues in turn, showing that each has had serious unintended consequences. Both Drexel Burnham and Lehman Brothers evaded the brokerage exclusion, for instance; and the settlement provision has been invoked in several high profile contexts that do not fit neatly within the core cases for which it was designed. The application of the special derivatives provisions has also raised even more questions, once again most prominently in the Lehman bankruptcy.
In the final part of the Article and in a brief conclusion, I explore the implications of the awkward interaction between bankruptcy and securities law. I begin by speculating about how bankruptcy courts will handle each of these issues if Congress does not alter the current rules. I then consider how Congress might intervene in these areas to address some of the problems that have arisen. I focus most extensively on the most complex of the issues, bankruptcy's special protections for derivatives and other financial contracts. After surveying possible alternatives to the existing framework, I propose and defend two strategies for reform: under the first and more novel, the stay would apply in cases involving systemically important firms but not in other cases; and the second would simply remove the existing exemptions, imposing the stay in all cases. I argue that the choice between the two approaches depends on the overall structure of financial services regulation.

Google Online Backup Review
Backing up your most important business files and data are vital to any business regardless of the industry or level. It ensures that you have these important data within reach whenever you will need it in the near future. A lot of backup solutions are available today, including CD and external drives. However, these forms of backup solutions tend to be less effective for lifelong storage as it has certain capacities and is quite expensive in the long run.
Online backup solutions are now booming in popularity and recognition to millions of businesses worldwide. This is mainly due to the fact that this form of storage is cheaper and can provide unlimited backup capabilities easily exceeding that of physical storage or hardware solutions.
Basically, Google offers two online backup solutions for use by offices and businesses – Gmail and Google Docs. Most people may not realize that the storage capacity provided from Gmail can be optioned for upgrades if needed by the user.
- One strong point of both Google online backup options is their price point. Google offers up to 20GB of backup space for a low $5 a year or can even be upgraded to 1TB for $256 per year.
- Storing through Google's database also enables businesses to search for any file or document in their Gmail account easily and conveniently. This condenses your data into one place that provides you with everything you need.
- Though Google hasn't thrown in any additional features, such as sync or electronic backups, the storage itself is quite simple and ideal for people who are really in need of solid backup space and nothing more.
Product Philosophy:
Google online backup is one of the simplest and inexpensive online backup service plans available today. You'd think that with such a colossal and popular developer such as Google, the software will be expensive, yet surprisingly it is highly competitive with other online backup plans and services.
In terms of security, it's quite given that you're choosing to store your most important and sensitive data into one of the internet's most powerful and largest service provider. With huge networks worldwide, Google makes sure that each and every client's data is safely and securely backed up into their database and that it is given access only to authorized people.
For storage space, Google Docs offers free 1G storage space for files that are not converted into Google Doc format. Clients will be offered with an option to upgrade their account with 1GB per $.25 for each year. The plan will include features, such as an easy search function that enables users to find their uploaded document files as well as the ability to preview common document file types. Clients who opt for the Premier Edition of Google Apps are allowed to upload multiple documents at once and synchronize them with their desktop in real time with the use of third party applications.
Ease Of Use:
In terms of ease of usage, Google has trimmed down their backup plans and service features into simple and easy to use applications. Customer support service is also reliable and quick to response for the needs and inquiries of thousands of Google's clients.
Help and support is somewhat limited at the free service level, but business class customers and upgraded accounts get a full range of real-person technical support.

JC: Vintage or not, it must look cool and fit according to your personality.
DT: Any comments about denim's role in fashion right now in general?
JC: Denim is always trendy. It is fascinating how every year it appears in catwalks, renewed and providing fashion with new meaning. And the greatest thing is, denim can be combined with just about every single other kind of fabric or garment.

Administration recommends adding no Chapter 220 seats
Menomonee Falls - Menomonee Falls School District does not plan to add Chapter 220 seats for the 2013-2014 school year.
The School Board will not vote on Chapter 220 until its January meeting. Director of Pupil Services Kathy Zarling said at the School Board meeting on Monday that they are recommending the board not add any 220 seats because of the increasing diversity in Menomonee Falls and because of funding complications. Chapter 220 funding comes a year later, while Open Enrollment funding gives a boost to total revenues to offset the budget.
McDermott Cue Mfg. moves to new facility in Falls
Menomonee Falls - McDermott Cue Mfg., a manufacturer and worldwide distributor of pool cues, performance shafts and billiard accessories has moved to a new location in Menomonee Falls, N84 W13660 Leon Road.

UAMS--my medical school
This weekend is my medical school's Alumni Weekend. My class graduated 25 years ago--1982. So my thoughts today are on my school and my classmates. I went to the University of Arkansas Medical School. Granted it is not Harvard or Yale or Stanford, but my classmates and I received a good education. I am proud of my school.
In 1879, eight physicians each invested $625 to secure the charter from Arkansas Industrial University (which later became the University of Arkansas). Together, they purchased the first physical facilities, the Sperindio Restaurant and Hotel located at 113 West Second Street, for $5,000. The school opened on October 7, 1879 with 22 students. In 1880, Dr. Tom Pinson became the first graduate of the Medical Department program.
Continued UAMS HistoryTimeline here:
The current UAMS campus looks like this. Current tuition/student expenses per year are approximately $33,920. I don't remember what it cost in 1978-1982, but I do know it was much less.
In September 2006, Debra Fiser became the first female Dean of UAMS. She had devoted her career to the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and the College of Medicine, her medical school alma mater. She had served 11 years as professor and chair of the Department of Pediatrics and was one of our staff physicians when we were medical students.
The student dorm that we lived in as students was imploded on February 19, 2006 to make room for new construction. The Jeff Banks dormitory was 45 yrs old. Many friends and memories were made in that student dorm. Medical students, nursing students, pharmacy students, etc all lived together in that building. I am looking forward to seeing all the ones who come to our pig roast and will miss the ones who are not able to come.

Wow, what a picture of the building imploding.
I hope you have a great time getting together with those you graduated with.
It's funny how those things make you realize the passing of time. While at the same time, making you aware of some of the things that feel the same.

If someone wondered about a caravan of 15 white Chevy Suburbans, two small buses and a service truck, led by a Douglas County sheriff's car, leaving the Parker area the afternoon of Sept. 13 — it was just a school principal and school district personnel trying to get their kids back.
And they did it.
Eighty-seven Pine Grove Elementary School sixth-graders and six adults were supposed to come home Sept. 12 from a 2½-day outdoor education experience at the Estes Park YMCA. But midweek the weather changed, the rains started — and eventually the power went out, and the entrance to the camp was flooding, the camp's bridge was being compromised, and the couple-mile mountain road to the camp was in danger of being washed out.
Molly Gnaegy, the school's principal, and district personnel determined the kids needed to stay up there an extra night, and then on Sept. 13, after making a plan, the decision was made to seize the moment. There was a small window of clear weather and the National Park Service was going to let them travel the only way in — Trail Ridge Road, which was closed to the public so it could used as an emergency access just for situations like theirs.
"It was a little risky," Gnaegy said.
But if they didn't get the kids out that day, there was the possibility with colder weather in the mountains on Sept. 15 that there could be snow conditions on Trail Ridge Road — and then what, they thought.
About 3 p.m. Sept. 13, the convoy took off to get the kids and their teachers and chaperones — who didn't know that help was on the way to get them home.
A message had been sent, but the camp didn't get the message.
Since mid-day Sept. 12, power was out in Estes Park. Gnaegy had made contact with another YMCA camp in Winter Park, and the person there was able to renew communication indirectly by connecting with someone in Estes Park who had a walkie-talkie or satellite phone that he was able to use in his car and connect somehow with the Estes Park YMCA camp, Gnaegy said.
They would set up scheduled communications periodically this way to check on the kids. But after the decision was made to take a convoy up, and a message was sent about that, and somehow it didn't get though. Gnaegy said she thinks it was because the camp got very busy at that point, as the camp, she found out later, had received word the camp's road had maybe 30 minutes before potentially washing out. They were busy getting out the Douglas County students as well as students from a couple other schools.
Gnaegy was later told that students were shuttled about five at a time in YMCA pickups that were being driven behind a front-end loader, which pushed water and debris out of the way, clearing the way for the pickups. The students then were taken to a restaurant parking lot and put on buses that they took about four miles or so to the Rocky Mountain Church in Estes Park, where they would be safer.
Gnaegy said when the school district's convoy rolled up to the church about 8 p.m. there were a lot of tears.
"I've never been so excited to see a principal in all my life," a student told her.
The students got into the white SUVs, got food bags that had been prepared on a moment's notice by the district's nutrition services, and then the drivers took off for home. The drivers included Paul Balon, the district's director of transportation, and district bus drivers, who coincidentally were quite familiar with Trail Ridge Road — which at its highest point is at 12,183 feet in elevation. They had trained on that road in the past as an exercise in dealing with challenging driving situations.
But on this trip, Trail Ridge Road didn't have a "drop of precipitation … It usually causes people grief, but it was the road that saved us," Gnaegy said. "The moon was out and guided us all the way."
The students, who had learned compass skills and using the stars for navigation at the camp, practiced those skills, on the way home — before falling asleep, Gnaegy said.
When they got to Pine Grove at 1 a.m. Sept. 14, parents were lining the sidewalks. They knew about when the convoy was expected because of periodic emails about the progress.
Gnaegy said she can't say enough about the YMCA staff who kept the kids calm and busy with fun activities throughout this saga. And for the school-district team that put this effort together.
The students got Sept. 16 off from school to recuperate and rest. Gnaegy said the adults would meet soon to discuss what could be done differently next time. But overall, things went well.
Michelle Yi, school district spokeswoman, said that "this is truly a shining example of the Douglas County community coming together to work toward a great cause."

Learning Communities in the Residence Halls
Community Outreach
For students excited to engage within the community, the Community Outreach Learning Community offers an open and welcoming space in which to build friendships, develop leadership skills, and deepen awareness of local and global issues. Through a variety of service activities and experiences as well as floor programs, Community Outreach students will explore the city of Boston, make positive changes in their community, and connect these experiences to their academic learning, leadership development, and professional career.
Community Outreach's floor programs typically happen at least twice a month and help to broaden students' understanding of local and national nonprofits, service opportunities on and off campus, current events that relate to humanitarian and environmental work, and the importance of activism. These programs serve to enhance students' leadership skills and interest in their chosen field while in a safe, inclusive, and fun environment.
Residents will engage in service activities throughout the year that they will create and plan themselves, culminating in a year-end capstone project. The Community Outreach Learning Community resides on the 8th floor of the Little Building Residence Hall on a space-available basis.

I've got an idea for a magazine. The concept is making it yearly and making kind of "best of belgian graffitis in a year". The meaning is : to have a paper version to keep in our libraries instead of keeping them in a digital version where they will be forgotten. I need some help with it and I was wondering if I may use some of your pictures ? It will take a lot of time ... But I really want to do this ...
